Chapter 224: One big and four small

Angel's first attack was completely deterred by Jermaine O'Neal. For former top players like O'Neal, he knew the depth of the opponent only once fought against him twice. The bad news is that Anger's current strength is far above O'Neal.

Spoelstra has no choice. Now the entire league lacks the inside line. The two big guys in the Heat who can make a move are O'Neal Jr. and Haslem. However, these two guys are power forwards, so it is not appropriate to let them play centers. But there is no way. Spoelstra has no choice. Do you think everyone is like Van Gundy's old fox and has piled up the inside line?

Other teams can only use power forwards as center players, but Van Gundy is better. He directly arranged the powerful center of Morris to the power forward position. It was like Van Gundy showing off: some of our insiders are people.

After Angel scored, Michael Beasley was not happy. Although he lost to Angel in college in humiliation, he later won the Heat's trial, and the pick was higher than Angel in the draft.

It can be said that his start was much better than Anjie. However, after entering the league, Anjie became the most successful player among the group. Beasley was not convinced and was very jealous. The guy who was defeated by himself during the Heat trial was not worthy of such a status.

Beasley's emotions were completely motivated by himself. He began to actively run, making Morris, who was slightly slow to suffer.

Wade does have the highest firepower of the Heat, especially after he made a successful layup, the "Flash" wanted to take advantage of the victory and score another goal.

But after seeing Beasley running so actively, Wade changed his mind. Since someone is willing to stand up and share the pressure of scoring with him, why not do it? And Wade knew that if he wanted Beasley to become a talent and assist him, the right to take action would be something that must be fed to Beasley.

Beasley got the basketball as he wished. Morris, who was a little slower, accelerated his pace, fearing that Beasley would take advantage of this gap and start shooting.

Morris's worries became reality. Seeing that Morris was a few steps away from him, Michael Beasley raised his hand and prepared to shoot!

"Michael Beasley, beautiful! He gave Andrew Morris a shot!" Kenny Smith thought that the problematic boy from the Heat was going to shoot again, but unexpectedly it was just a fake shot.

After tricking Morris, Beasley arched his waist and cut in. Anjie made up for defense early, and Beasley was not stupid. After fighting with Anjie a few times, he knew Anjie's ability very well. Beasley did not continue to go inside, but made a mid-range emergency stop jump shot.

He chose to shoot from the outside, no matter how powerful An Jie is, he cannot cover the area outside the three-second zone now.

As soon as Beasley took action, he smiled contemptuously at An Jie.

"What's the point? Is it certain whether this ball is entering or not?" An Jie turned around unwillingly, but found that the basketball had pierced through the basket and reached the ground.

"Hey, today is in good shape." Wade took the initiative to reach out and slap Beasley with his high-highway. Beasley didn't refuse, and he was praised by the team boss who didn't like it.

"This is what Michael Beasley hates. Morris is very good at defending traditional inside players, but he is very tricky when he holds a guy like Beasley."

"That guy is too fast!" Morris would not hold on to his face, so he began to explain the reasons to others.

"It doesn't matter, Damanniu, we will pay attention to assisting defense next time." Duran replied while waving, signaling the others to hurry up.

When Beasley got the ball for the second time, Durant did what he said and went to double-team Beasley with Morris. But Beasley made a clever pass and sent the ball to Quentin Richardson's hands.

Quentin Richardson's three-pointers' ability to open a slot is definitely not bad. He took action decisively and got the basketball again.

"Michael Beasley completely disrupted the Thunder's defensive deployment. Coach Van Gundy must replace the defense because it is obvious that Morris cannot deal with players like Beasley."

Van Gundy was indeed thinking about who can compete with Beasley. Anjie? No, if Anjie goes, the Thunder's inside defense quality will be greatly reduced. What about the substitute inside? No, those guys have the same skills as Morris in defensive players.

Looking at it, Van Gundy seems to have no choice except Durant.

"Do you want to play the senior and fourth graders?" Van Gundy touched his chin. He had never done this before. But today... should I try it?

Van Gundy began to hesitate. He was too rigid and had poor on-the-spot dispatch. These were Van Gundy's two major shortcomings. Now, this rigid head coach will spend a while to consider whether to change the array.

Just as Van Gundy was hesitating, Morris let Beasley break through and scored an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

An Jie boldly rushed to the outside line to make up for defense, but it was useless.

Yio is four points behind 6. Although Morris can also regain his appearance on the offensive end, Van Gundy obviously doesn't want both sides to "suffer each other" just like this. The effect he hopes to see is a guy who cannot defend against Beasley and cannot break through to face him.

"Shaun, you go!" Taking advantage of the chance to die, Van Gundy walked to Livingston.

"Me?" Livingston looked around, and Van Gundy seemed to be talking to him.

"Yes, go ahead and have a guy, you play the third position. Anyway, the Heat also use guards to replace the small forwards. I think you have no problem, right?"

"No! Boss!" Livingston was also a famous person in high school, but after entering nBa, he was slow to perform, so he was sold out by various teams one after another. Although he had more playing time in the Thunder this season, there was still no practical change. He was given important tasks when he was on the court so early, Livingston was of course excited! He quickly agreed to Van Gundy, afraid that the opportunity would slip away.

"Morris was replaced by Coach Van Gundy, and he looked very unhappy. But indeed, this guy was completely at a disadvantage when he was against Yi." Reggie Miller was analyzing the purpose of Van Gundy's replacement so early for the audience.

Since Livingston came on the field to play the third position, Durant, of course, replaced Morris and partnered with Angel in the inside.

"The Thunder used a lineup of yi's senior and fourth-sized juniors! Can you believe it? This is a compromise that Jeff Van Gundy would make?" Kenny Smith widened his eyes. The Thunder's tactics have always been very traditional. After saying that the Thunder's many games, this change is still the first to see.

After the substitution, the Heat's offensive round was over. Wade looked at the changes on the field and was still considering whether to continue feeding Beasley.

Just as Wade's attention was slightly separated from the ball, Westbrook suddenly arrived! He almost took away the basketball in Wade's hand!

Wade also reacted quickly and hurriedly held the ball with both hands. Although the dribble was interrupted, he avoided the occurrence of 1 mistakes.

"Dwyne!" Seeing that Wade's organization was interrupted, Beasley stepped forward to respond. Wade didn't think much about it. It seemed that the most perfect choice to hand over the ball to Beasley now!

After receiving the ball, Beasley turned around and faced the frame, but the person who confronted him had become the Thunder No. 35, Kevin Durant, who was tall and long.

Beasley also plans to use the trick of dealing with Morris against Durant, but now this is no longer useful.

He forced Durant's entangled breakthrough, and of course he couldn't get the opportunity to make a quick stop and jump shot.

Before he knew it, Beasley had already broken through to the inside. He was unwilling to give up just like that and was defeated by Durant. He was also the first high school student of his own era, why could Durant be named a future superstar and he could only survive under Wade's protection.

Thinking of this, Beasley was overly arrogant and lost his calmness again.

He forced a layup in the inside, and Durant jumped, but it was a few centimeters away.

It’s a pity that the Thunder’s inside line is not because of Durant, but because...

"Ba!" This feels familiar. When Beasley was in college, he was overshadowed by this.

"An! Beautiful hotpot! Coach Van Gundy's deployment played an immediate role. In the first round of the substitution, Beasley's scoring momentum was interrupted!"

"Oh, it's here again." Wade shook his head. This is not the first time Beasley has "dealed against the wind".

Westbrook started sprinting after seeing Angel finish the block, which almost became his conditioned reflex. Durant was not vague and picked up a long throw of the basketball. The Thunder took off a signature conversion attack from the backcourt.

Although Wade followed closely, he still failed to stop Westbrook from completing the dunk. The "Flash" knew that if he jumped rashly, it would be very likely that Westbrook would be a two-plus yi.

After Durant reached the fourth position, he also had comprehensive support for Anjie. Now, when attacking, only Anjie was on the inside of the Thunder team. The other four people stood outside the three-point line without exception.

Seeing An Jie ravaging O'Neal in the inside again and again, the rest of the Heat really dared not double-team. Because the four guys standing outside the three-point line of the Thunder have accurate three-pointers.

O'Neal was panting by Angel. He couldn't defend himself, and he couldn't even defend the ball.

Seeing An Jie performing so well on the court, Morris also changed his unhappiness when he was replaced. He waved the towel frantically and made various exaggerated moves to cheer for An Jie's wonderful performance.

If you don't have to tie the team at this time, O'Neal will probably be hit with a psychological shadow. A guy who is only 20 years old beats himself like this, and it will be hard for anyone to feel good.

When Beasley was revengeful and double-teaming towards Anjie, Anjie was not greedy for me. Although Anjie had already scored 6 points from 3 shots, he knew what it means to stop when he saw Beasley coming to double-team, Anjie decisively transferred the ball to the outside line. After Durant received the ball, he aimed and took action calmly.

"Brush!" Three-pointer hit, Michael Beasley held his head with regret. Because after the goal was entered, the difference between the Thunder and the Heat officially became double digits.

After Durant scored this goal, Spoelstra had to call for a timeout. At this time, there were only more than 4 minutes before the end of the yi quarter game, and it was almost time for the second team of both sides to compete.

After the timeout, both teams were indeed replaced. Under the control of Chalmos, everyone in the Heat's second team could score two goals. But Morris, who was already panicking, beat Haslem to no arrogance.

After finally getting the opportunity, he was disturbed by the annoying guy Michael Beasley. Morris had no choice but to squirt into Haslem.

Although Haslem is hardworking and tough, it can be said that you can add to this hardworking and big man with excellent characteristics. But in front of Morris who has accumulated enough energy, Haslem has to take the lead.

"Bang!" Another fierce collision and another powerful dunk. With the end of Morris' final attack, the ups and downs of the second quarter finally came to an end.

During this period, the Thunder and the Heat had the advantage, but the score made the Heat's advantage so insignificant.

yi9 to 29, the Thunder established a very strong lead for the Thunder in the yi quarter under the fierce attacks of three tall men Angel, Morris and Durant.
