How the Heat’s Defense Shifted the Momentum in Game 2 of the NBA Championship

Just as many people were about to see the Nuggets crushing the Heat to win the championship with an overwhelming advantage, the Heat staged a miraculous Jedi counterattack in the second game, causing the Nuggets to suffer a home defeat and turning the home court advantage of the series to the Heat. Warriors star Draymond Green, who pays close attention to the battle situation, recently discussed with head coach Steve Kerr on his personal podcast program about the key to the change in the situation in the second game. Kerr also gave his own analysis.

Kerr said: “You mentioned they put Kevin Love in the starting lineup, which puts Butler (Jimmy Butler) on Murray (Jamal Murray). I haven’t talked to Erik Spoelstra (Erik Spoelstra). , Heat head coach), but I can see the focus of their coaching meeting, Murray is the smuggler, not Nikola Jokic.”

Jokic contributed an average of 30.4 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 10.1 assists per game in the playoffs. He was also selected as the MVP of the Western Conference Championship Game. Turning to trying to suppress Murray, Kerr said: “I think the Heat decided that Murray was the one they had to find a way to block, so they pulled Love into the starting lineup, let Butler take care of Murray, and then As we’ve seen, the Heat have been raiding Murray and doing everything they can to keep Murray out of the game.”

However, judging from the book data, Murray still contributed high-quality data of 18 points and 10 assists in the second game, and there was only one turnover in the game. The Heat did not seem to be able to effectively suppress Murray as expected, and ultimately relied on themselves It was only when his hands felt hot that he stole the game. However, in these two games, when Murray faced Butler’s direct marking, he scored two points with only one foul. With Le defending, compared to Gabe Vincent (Gabe Vincent) shooting 5 of 7 when marking, it is obvious that Butler is more successful in suppressing Murray’s personal offensive threat. The Heat should still try to deploy this in the next few games.
