Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1016
During the break in the first quarter, the camera swept across the Heat’s bench, and what the audience saw was the four kings of the Heat with solemn faces.
Six minutes ago, they were full of fighting spirit and felt that victory was at their fingertips, but now, they felt the pressure.
Before the game, they formulated a lot of tactics for Zuo Li. James and Anthony are notorious for not watching videos, but this time, they analyzed all the Knicks’ games in the playoffs last season, the finals and this season. After reading it again, Zuo Li’s material is one meter high this time alone.
According to the characteristics of Zuo Li, Spoel made targeted arrangements, focusing on single defense, not flanking, and letting Zuo Li score by himself. There is no way, Zuo Li can’t defend, and they still can’t defend with their existing troops. Instead of trying to defend Zuo Li and being defeated by Zuo Li in the end, it’s better to sacrifice Bosh and let Bosh do his best to hold back and delay as much as possible. , Others took the opportunity to blow up the Knicks.
At the same time, play your own offense well, the Big Four take turns to shoot, and even 6 players can rotate when necessary.
Look, how ruthless, more than Rivers Rivers.
But there is no way, these four kings have completely locked the space for the Heat, and there is only Haslem on the bench who can top the inside line, and the others are just free.
And as long as the arrangements are reasonable, four people take turns to play singles, and the physical fitness of the four should be sufficient.
The first six minutes were just as the Heat had imagined. All four of them played together and blocked Zuo Li’s attack. However, just as they were about to go all out, the Knicks changed their style of play!
Three points, three points, three points!
Curry can shoot, Battier can shoot, even that rookie who doesn’t look very smart can shoot, and two more!
This simply exceeded the Heat’s expectations.
(Thompson: You better be busy!)
Now they are very easy, because they have not done a good job of coping methods that other Knicks have also opened up, and the Heat’s defense is really average at present, and they don’t even know who to replace now to defend against the Knicks shooters who have already shot. .
“Don’t worry, let’s continue to be ourselves. As long as we can match up on the offensive end, we won’t lose this game.” No way, Spoelstra had to possess Rivers and pour chicken soup directly.
Janeway and others can only continue to play in the second quarter. They only hope that the Knicks’ touch will decline in the second quarter, so that they will be able to chase points more smoothly.
But it’s a pity that Zuo Li’s teammates went crazy, even Zuo Li himself was afraid!
In the second quarter, Zuo Li didn’t play, and David Lee, Danny Green, Ke Liu, and Dragic partnered outside with David Lee.
“This should be a very pure second team for the Knicks, and here comes the opportunity for the Heat to chase points,” Barkley said.
“Indeed, I have to say that the Knicks have a solid bench and can play a lot of players, but the Heat’s Big Four don’t rest, so there is still a gap in their strength.” Kenny Smith nodded.
O’Neill didn’t speak, the man’s intuition told him that this was an opportunity, so he hung on and waited for the opportunity.
It turns out that O’Neill was right.
On the first goal of the second quarter, James scored suddenly, Wade scored suddenly, and Anthony received the ball from the top of the arc with three threats and made a three-pointer at the last second.
The Heat fans were all sweating. The offense was struggling too much. The sudden score, the sudden score just didn’t make a shot, but fortunately it made a shot.
As everyone knows, this is already very good. Although Anthony is not a master off the ball, fortunately, he still shoots very well. If it was last season, the ball would be gone.
Looking at the Knicks again, the left stand in the middle circle helped Dragic pick and roll, and the latter broke through to Danny Green on the wing. Passed to Ke Liu in the bottom corner, Ke Liu caught the ball unluckily and dodged the space to hit a three-pointer.
Smooth, very smooth, if it weren’t for the habitual wave of the six, and he had to dribble twice, this would even be an open three-pointer.
This is also the advantage brought by the Knicks who have not made major changes for several seasons. Unlike the Heat, who are like mercenaries, the Knicks know the basics.
The Heat’s second attack failed. James played David Lee with a post-up single. Although he practiced his post-up technique hard in the summer, it is still difficult to single-up David Lee, who has weight and wingspan.
This is the problem with James playing the 4th position. He has great strength, but you basically meet players who are taller and heavier than you in the 4th position. Unless you pull out and break through, it is too difficult for you to back up up.
The shot that barely turned around also came out like a shot put, and Zuo Li easily received the rebound.
Then the ball was shot directly, the Knicks quickly counterattacked, Zuo Li followed up and received a pass from Dragic and directly dunked.
“It went so smoothly, no one in the Heat even dared to block Zuo Li.” Kenny Smith said.
“There’s no way to block this. Zuo Li rushes up and fights a tank full of gas. Who can stop him. Moreover, who can stop Zuo Li from the inside line of the Heat.” O’Neill shook his finger, Indicating that the Heat’s inside line is really not good.
But such an insider Zuo Li did not choose to continue to explode, and continued to distribute to the guys on the outside.
And they also lived up to expectations. David Lee and Danny Green made three-pointers one after another. When the Knicks returned from the starting lineup four minutes later, the Knicks widened the two-point gap to 15 points.
“The heat is over.”
Fans who watched the game had these four big words in their minds. There is no way to start and play as a substitute. Afterwards, your physical strength is getting lower and lower. How can you play…
The Knicks made 8 of 13 three-pointers in a single quarter, and the Knicks led 67-46 at halftime by 21 points.
The Knicks made 14 three-pointers in the half, 12 more than the Heat!
The heat is numb…
An angry James returned to his familiar third position in the third quarter, and took the ball to launch a rapid breakthrough to the Knicks inside.
Wade didn’t care anymore, he just took the ball and did it. The two found a tacit understanding in the playoffs last season, and once widened the point difference to… within 20 points…
No way, this is already the limit, because the Knicks’ outside line is really too accurate!
Starting from Curry’s first three-pointer in the third quarter, Zuo Li, Thompson, and Battier made three-pointers respectively.
Three points and four consecutive hits!
In this quarter, the Knicks scored another 7 three-pointers. When the third quarter ended, the Knicks made 21 three-pointers!
21 three-pointers in three quarters, which is also the NBA record for three-pointers in three quarters!
If the fourth quarter can continue to play like this, the Knicks have a chance to set a record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game, but it is possible. The Heat, who were hammered in the third quarter, chose to give up after only two minutes in the fourth quarter.
When Sipo replaced all the kings with a timeout of two or four, there was a long-lasting booing at the scene.
But Shi Bo’s face was as sinking as water and he was unmoved…
In fact, I was so panicked that I had already started thinking about how to get back after the game.
But even if they are scolded, the fight cannot continue, and the Knicks must not be allowed to break the record on their heads.
