Tyler Herro got on the Heat train
« Bam (Adebayo) made a great cross. Without Bam, I have no chance to do this action. » Tyler Herro can thank his staff for his decisive steal, even if the latter was content with picking up an “offer” from PJ Washington terrible layup for the Mavs after a timeout.
The fact remains that the Heat defender, after this opponent’s mistake, managed to turn over the “buoyant” of victory in the half transition 40 seconds from the end. The shot capped off a very good night for the Heat’s leading scorer, who was returning to action two months after surgery on his left leg.
« It’s been a long nine or ten weeks, but it’s gone quickly. The team is really having fun and being able to get back on the court and play with them tonight was great. », qualifies the 25-year-oldwho readily admits to having “ there is still a long way to go ».
« I still have to do rehabilitation, to recover. I could have easily waited another two weeks to come back, but I’m healthy enough to be on the field and I want to be. I had a little circle around this date, three or four weeks ago. So I used the last few days when the team was away to prepare myself physically for this evening », develops Herro.
In a match in which Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic were taken from his team, he did not seem to struggle physically. Coming off the three-pointer (0/2), an area where Miami missed (5/27), he mostly focused on finishing near the circle to finish with 24 points (12/18), 7 rebounds and 3 steals in 29 minutes.
There are fewer pick-and-rolls available
« It’s amazing that he can come back and have that kind of rhythm, and it’s only going to get better. When you face a better defense, you understand why we need this quality. In this league, you need as much talent and offensive punch as possible. And it was exciting to see him again “, rejoices his coach Erik Spoelstra.
The latter undoubtedly appreciated the adaptability of the spirit, which was discovered by the team playing on a much higher pace (highest in the league) than in the past. « In the second quarter, we started to play a little more like they are used to playing. That’s what I want, for everyone to keep playing like this ,” notes Tyler Hero, who laughs at trying to claim a screen from Kel’el Var.
« We have a lot of guys who are hard to defend as soon as they get the ball. As you can see, this is a cool attack to play. There’s not a lot of pick-and-roll, but it’s about sharing the ball. Everyone feels involved, everyone has a chance to be aggressive, and it works for us », summarizes Bam Adebayo.
Erik Spoelstra, whose player started by missing his first four shots before hitting nine straight, believes Tyler Hero will have no problem getting used to this new offensive philosophy. According to the coach, ” it will fit perfectly. It will strengthen everything we do. I’m happy for him and it’s positive that we can build on this. »
