Speaking of the most exciting finals in the past 10 years, it was the 12-13 season and the 15-16 season. The Tottenham battle and the Qiyong battle have also become the memories of many fans.
In 13 years, the Heat relied on Ray Allen 's three-pointer to drag the game into the tiebreaker. At the last moment of G7, Duncan missed the goal. The Heat successfully defended the championship.
A year later, the Spurs made a comeback and once again met the Heat in the finals. This time the Spurs did not give the Heat the slightest chance, and easily defeated the Heat 4-1 to win the championship.
So here comes the problem. It is clear that it has only been a year since the personnel changes on both sides are not significant. Why would the Heat be defeated by the Spurs?
former Spurs player Danny Green said in an interview: "For LeBron, you need to develop a detailed report for him in the playoffs. In order to perform better than the regular season, it is impossible to prevent him anyway. Therefore, our strategy is to limit the people around him and limit LeBron as much as possible."
From the data point of view , Green is not wrong. In the 2014 Finals, James averaged 28.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists, while Wade and Bosh averaged only 15.2 points and 15 points per game. Except for the three of them, the highest scoring average was Ray Allen’s 9.8. point.In other words, only James played normally in the entire series, and the others were more or less restricted.
Of course, that season, Wade and Bosh were troubled by injuries, and their condition declined. They were unable to score as easily as before. With the Spurs’ targeted defense, it was even more difficult for them to play normal. This is also the main reason why the Heat lost.
If Jordan heard Green, he must have felt the same. Before winning the first championship, he had been suppressed by the " bad boy " and was defeated by the Pistons in the playoffs for three consecutive years. .
The Pistons' tactics against Jordan are roughly divided into two, one is a multiplayer double team, which is a tactic used by most teams.
Another tactic, when Jordan's touch is really unstoppable, the whole team will let Jordan and restrict his teammates, even if Jordan gets 40+, 50+, his teammates will not score in double figures, then The Bulls still cannot escape the fate of losing.
