When the league first meets a team that hasn't even made the quarterfinals, do you think there is no suspense in the game? The Heat proved their ability with their performance. Before the game against the Jazz, the Heat were only ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference and did not even make the top eight in the Eastern Conference. That is to say, whether they can enter the playoffs is not guaranteed.
You know that the Heat were the finals team last season and the best in the Eastern Conference. However, the Heat's record this season has been hovering around the quarterfinals. This time, facing the league's No. 1 Jazz, the Heat before the game It is not optimistic. After all, the Jazz have won many powerful teams and maintained a good three-pointer feel.
The Heat finally defeated the Jazz 124 to 116. The 8-point win was not luck. From the perspective of the whole game, the Heat is indeed a strong team. At the end of the halftime, the Heat lead the Jazz. At the end of the quarter, the lead was maintained until the end. At the end of the game, the Heat rose by five places and became the fifth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference. On the one hand, it shows that the competition in the Eastern Conference is fierce. On the other hand, it also shows that the Heat are actually Have the ability to enter the playoffs.
Why did the Heat beat the No. 1 Jazz in the league? Head coach Spoel revealed the key to the team's victory after the game. First, Spoel mentioned that the team had experienced some defeats before, but they saw some improvement from it. Spoel believes that the Jazz have done a good job in terms of technical level and shooting, so he believes that the team needs to increase perimeter defense and target the Jazz's perimeter defense. After all, the Jazz's three-pointer feel in the previous few games is very good.
The Jazz made a total of 50 three-pointers in the first two games. In this game, the Jazz made 15 three-pointers and only 32.6% of the three-pointers. The Heat made 14 three-pointers and three-pointers. The shooting percentage is 46.6%. The Heat are not a team that is good at three-pointers, but they defend the Jazz's three-pointers very well, and they can also find opportunities for the team to have more three-pointers. Obviously the Heat have done Spoel’s request to perfection,And the Jazz didn't have three points, and it was naturally difficult to win the game.
Find out what the opponent is best at defensively, this is Sibo's opposite, and the effect is really good. The Heat have been a bit slow this season, but the lineup is more balanced on both ends of the offense and defense. This is the Heat's advantage, and of course this is also an ordinary place for the Heat. 16 wins and 17 losses, the record is balanced, but for the Heat this is just the beginning.
The Jazz’s three-pointer is a bright spot, but once the three-pointer is misaligned, the Jazz will have difficulty winning. This is the Jazz’s weakness and of course an advantage. After all, most of the time, their three-pointer feels Not bad, but not necessarily when you meet the favorites to win the championship. The Heat beat the Jazz. This is an encouragement for the Heat and a warning for the Jazz. I hope they will continue to show their style in the next games!
