Basketball Tactics, Movistar Defensive Scheme 3-2: Defenders positioned 1 meter between their own basket and the nearest attacker. The attacker with the ball is positioned less than 4 meters from the basket. A line of three defenders, 50 centimeters away, is positioned between the attacker with the ball and the nearest attacker until the ball is recovered and an offensive movement is initiated.
Offensive Movement: Three attackers in a line, equidistant from each other, run to a position 4 meters away from the opposing basket. The attacker with the ball, accompanied by a receiving attacker, is positioned 4 meters around the attacker with the ball, at 90-45 degrees from the back and front, left, right, and center.
The receiving attacker passes the ball to the opposite side of the defense, extending their arm with their palm open to block the ball's path. They then turn to the opposite side of the defense, shoot, and pass the ball.
[The following sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly a fragment from a different context: "The attacker with the ball runs 4 meters away from the opposing basket.] Attacker with the ball bouncing at a 45-degree angle, thrown at a 45-degree angle, 50 centimeters away from the defender's foot, to be intercepted behind the defender. The attacking receiver is running across the court or stationary.
Attacker with the ball, squeezing with both palms, scores by jumping towards the opposite basket to put the ball in the basket. The ball is pushed from the rim of the opposite basket. The attacker with the ball calculates their own jump to propel themselves towards the opposite basket in a jump, moving their body towards the empty basket.
Ball speed: 1 second per 2 meters.
Run: 2 seconds per 8 meters.
Walk: 4 seconds per 8 meters.

So Spo has lost the locker room and now certain players are not following his plays. 😓😖 if this team doesn’t have a structure there is no hope. Idk what is happening, where is the bad energy coming from, it’s not like losing is something new for the Heat. Also I love seeing Ware out there and there are people saying he is the number 1 option. That’s terrible if you have a team full of veterans/all stars and you rely on the 2nd year player. Get Bam, Norman, and Wiggins back into their flow. We don’t need Ware to average 20 point per game we do need him to rebound and defend. Bam can’t even hit 13 points anymore. Davion is starting to look lost out there cause I fear that they are not communicating on both ends. It looks too random for an off game. Damn I hope they figure it out and get back to their identity. 😖😓😞
It's Heat no matter what, but Mannn we stink right now
So glad we’re relying on Bam, Wiggins, & Powell & losing while punishing the most talented guy on the team & hindering his development when he’s the only guy who can actually raise the ceiling of this team. Keep up the great work Spo👍 #FreeWare
Spo playing Dru Smith like he then been in Miami the last 5 years.
This game pissed me off. I can take a loss, but losing double digits at home is next level fuckery especially on my birthday fuck this goddamn bullshit.
JJJ 🦂🐻🔥🏀!!!
Need new front office leadership and new coaches, plain and simple. They clearly don't know how to build a winning team without 3 hall of famers on the floor. Not one person should be off limits in trade talks. Period.
time to step down pat riley.. then spoelstra.. they are all masters of marketing but not in the court..
Defense wins games jealously gets a team no where pass the ball to Ware more bang the inside pick out Mitch matches Toronto tallest player was 6’9😂Ware is the Shag O’Neal bang the ball in the middle stop the other teams guards
The entire team has to learn how to pass the ball get it to the post for easy baskets
IF BAM WANTS TO HELP THEN HIS ASS SHOULD SIT DOWN UNTIL HIS EMOTIONS DON'T MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A BABY GIRAFFE AMONGST LIONS!!!!
Next man up, right Spo..
Please trade Bam Powell and Wiggins and go young this team is not competing for anything please do the right thing like OKC & Spurs have done
