It didn't seem like a big gap, but the Heat was definitely not a match for the Red Team.
The East was strong and the West was weak. In the first decade of the NBA in the 21st century, the Eastern Conference teams had only won three championships.
Two of them were due to the Sharks 'Journey to the West, the Heat, and the Wolf King landing in Boston.
They only played two games in a cross-division game, such as the Los Angeles Clippers and the Celtics.
They played four games in the same division in a season, such as the Celtics and the Heat.
At this time, the East was weaker and had the new Bobcats. It was normal for them to win more against the weaker teams, while the Red Team's opponents were the West.
It could be said that the current Red Team was the strongest opponent Gu Yu had encountered so far.
Although the Heat were the defending champions, Shaq and Wade could also be considered as two cores, but their perimeter was not strong.
The third position did not defend, and the first position was either too old or did not defend. They were directly beaten into a sieve by Gu Yu.
However, the Red Team had no problem with their perimeter. Alston was 13.3 points per game and had a 36% three-point shooting percentage. He also had a defense that was above average. It could be said that the Green Team did not dare to let the opponent go.
Although the fourth position was a weak point, Jeffrey had not finished leveling up. He was not the future Wolf King, so he could not break through at all. At most, it would be a blunt knife cutting meat.
"I think we should change our tactics.”
In the first quarter, the Red Team's strategy was very simple.
As Tony and Rondo's baskets were inaccurate, Big Yao guarded the penalty area under the basket, and Tony was the one who was left empty.
The Red Team's tactical goal today was very simple.
Although Gu Yu relied on fast play and precise passing to keep the score, he had been playing superstar ball so far.
He didn't play the kind of mercury-like offense he had against the Los Angeles and Heat.
Ryan Gomes was brought into the starting lineup by Rivers. Rivers wanted to use his three-pointer to help Gu Yu open up space.
Tony and West had brought along the substitutes to deal with the Red Team's second formation. In fact, the Red Team's second formation this season was quite good.
Luther Hyde, the dual energy guard of the Red Team, had already become the fourth scoring point of the Red Team this season.
He was second only to Big Yao, McGrady, and Streetball King, and even above Battier. He had an average of 10.9 points per game, and there was still a little gas in the tank for Mutombo, who could contribute an average of 6.5 rebound per game.
It could be said that this bench was stronger than most teams. At the very least, it was definitely stronger than the Laker's bench. The Laker's bench needed Odom to play as the sixth man before it could really take off.
A team with 52 wins had more firepower than a team with 42 wins, which was actually normal.
"Tony, hold Luther down. Hyde, everyone started to fight for points.”
Rivers directly placed Tony on the bench and went all out. Tony and West led the team and began to fight against the Red Team's second formation.
Wally. In his previous life, many people analyzed that people like Shzerbiak and West were trying to trade for Garnett's numbers. However, it was still the same saying that without strength, you couldn't even farm numbers.
Even though Lu Kai was the vice class president of the Alliance at that time, if they were to really compete, the numbers would definitely be discounted.
However, if you put this lineup on the bench, the reserve bench would instantly have a lot of firepower. This was also the reason why the bench could pull apart the score when facing the Los Angeles Clippers.
The substitutes 'bench was filled with only Michael. Other than Olovokandi, their firepower was not weaker than the Red Team, and they were even stronger.
After playing for two minutes on the court, Van Gundy had to call a time-out, because in that short two-minute period of time.
The Red Team was beaten 8:3, and the Green Team directly overtook the score by 30:27.
The Red Team was nicknamed the Third Fire Collapse by many fans during this period because compared to a championship team like the Spurs, the lineup was not deep enough. They would be finished as soon as their stamina ran out.
Van Gundy used a big move and used the main force.
Rivers also brought Gu Yu and the others. Gomes replaced Tony.
Just like before, Gu Yu had just dribbled past half of the court when he faced Battier and McGrady's double team.
Bang!
Facing the double team, Gu Yu directly passed the ball and accurately found Ryan. Gomez.
Ryan Gomes had a 38% three-point shooting rate this season, and there was a big gap at this time.
Swoosh!
As the basketball brushed past the net, Lu Kai led by six points.
At this moment, Gu Yu was different from a certain Black Mamba. Facing a double-team was no different from a big gap. He just threw.
When Gu Yu faced a double-team, if he could not tear open the defense, he would rely on his own passing control ability to pass the ball.
Van Gundy still did not adjust his tactics, but with the addition of Jefferson and Ryan. Gomez took turns to bombard the basket.
With a score of 7:0, Van Gundy had to call a time-out.
"Rondo and the others will probably adjust their tactics. I'm going to focus on playing without the ball.”
At this moment, Gu Yu picked up the tactical board and began to instruct Londo.
The previous wave of goals had directly caused the Red Team to fall behind by 10 points. At this time, the Red Team would definitely snatch points.
With McGrady at 70 - 80% of his peak and Big Yao at his peak, if they really put in effort, no team would say that the Red Team couldn't recover the score.
After the pause ended, Big Yao took the lead. Perkins in the penalty area could not stop Big Yao at all.
A hook under the basket, a fadeaway jump shot, and a combination of punches to shut Perkins down.
As the Rockets 'highest free throws, Big Yao Perkins did not dare to execute foul tactics. Was there a difference between an average of 86.2% and free throws?
Relying on Big Yao's continuous attack, the Red Team and Green Team tied at 40:40 at halftime.
However, Gu Yu was not surprised. After all, they were the Yao and Mai duo who were close to the peak.
"The more stamina they consume, the easier it will be to play in the fourth quarter!”
