Chapter 377 N Ying fights Lu Bu (please subscribe, please support)

After the extremely contrasting entrance ceremony of the home and away teams, the game is about to begin.

The starting lineups of both sides have not changed. Ke Yan considered using Holiday as the starter, which would make it easier to keep up with Wade, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still let go of this idea.

Players from both teams have already stood on the court. The Knicks asked Gallinari to jump the ball with Eddy Curry. Although he was disadvantaged by his height, with his one step faster bounce speed, the Italian still hit the ball to Love.

In hand, the Knicks launched the first wave of offense.

Taking advantage of the Heat's unsteady foothold, the Knicks played D'Antoni's signature V-shaped offense, with Gallinari and Matthews in the bottom corners on both sides, and O'Neal and Love staying on the left and right of the free throw line.

As soon as Curry waved, O'Neal immediately lifted up to cover Curry. The Shark's huge body blocked Gibson tightly. Curry took the ball and went inside to kill Eddy Curry in a single. He moved away with a fake move.

The opponent scored with an easy throw.

The entire offensive process was very smooth, not even giving Haslem and Wade any chance to make up defense.

After the ball was scored, the audience, led by DJ, let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers to celebrate the first score in the playoffs. The players on the field were not affected in any way and quickly returned to defense, and the five of them ran to the backcourt.

The Heat attacked, and after several passes, Wade broke into the paint, attracted the defense of two people, and bounced to the ground to pass to Haslem next to him. The latter did not hesitate at all, jumped up and shot. With one hand

He flew towards us and blocked Haslem's ball. Curry picked up the ball from the outside and rushed forward. Gibson was unable to catch up. Curry adjusted his steps and easily dunked the ball.

"Great job!" On the way back to defense, Curry also pointed at Matthews who had just blocked the shot. Although the latter failed to stop Wade's breakthrough, the subsequent block was indeed very beautiful.

Wade brought the ball across half court, raised his hand and made a "3" gesture. His teammates immediately understood. Gibson, Jones and Haslem immediately pulled to the left. Eddy Curry pulled out of the penalty area and pulled the ball to the left.

Matthews blocked it. After Wade broke away from Matthews' defense, he came to the right side alone. Looking at O'Neal who was defending, he swayed without mercy and changed direction. He broke into the penalty area from the baseline and stepped into the three-second zone.

He suddenly jumped up, crossed O'Neal's body in the air, and then flicked the basketball in his hand with one hand and wiped the board into the basket.

Wade's movements are very smooth, and watching him play is a different kind of enjoyment.

The Knicks attacked, and Wade personally defended Curry. The Knicks adopted the "island tactic". Curry stood in the bottom corner and separated the ball. Gallinari singled out James Jones, used the advantage of confrontation to force his way into the paint, and smashed the ball in.

At the same time, it also caused a foul on Haslem who was defending.

"COME ON!" Gallinari, who was brought to the ground by inertia, shouted loudly, and then Curry hurried over and pulled Gallinari up.

The Italian cannon hit a free throw, and the Knicks had a clear advantage in the opening game.

Gibson resisted Curry with his left hand to protect the basketball. After halftime, Wade ran out to receive the ball, caught the ball, and stood outside the right arc three-point line. Facing Matthews' defense, he first made a move to the left.

He made a sudden fake move, then pulled the ball back fiercely, stepped to the right, stood up and shot a jumper.

Although Matthews was not shaken away, he still couldn't keep up with Wade's movement speed. When he turned sideways and jumped in front of Wade's hand, the ball had already been taken out of Wade's hand.

"Brush!" The basketball crossed the net, and Matthews shook his head helplessly. In this round of the series, he was destined to be the backdrop.

Looking back, the Knicks repeated their old tricks, Curry was smoking in the corner, and Wade was holding an ashtray beside him. Matthews chased Gibson to charge inside, attracting the defense and then passing the ball to O'Neal, and the Sharks completed the drive.

Hu also allowed Eddy Curry to get a foul in vain.

"..." Wade was speechless for Eddy Curry's foul.

Fortunately, the Sharks missed the free throw and the Knicks did not continue to widen the score. But in the next round, Gibson tried an emergency stop jumper after the pick-and-roll, but unfortunately, Love picked off the rebound and sent the quarterback pass, assisting Ku.

Complete the score. (11:4)

The Heat had a bad start, so Wade could only shoulder more of the offensive burden, using his excellent explosive power to get into the paint, simplifying the three-step layup into two steps, creating a time difference, and scoring an underhand layup.

Wade's shot was very beautiful, and it slightly boosted the Heat's morale. In the next round, the team finally made a successful defense. With the help of the pick-and-roll, Love got the opportunity to play big and small, attracting Wade to help defend.

The ball was passed to Matthews, who missed an open three-pointer. Haslem protected the rebound.

Looking back, Wade and Haslem played a pick-and-roll, attracting double-teams and then splitting the ball. Haslem took a mid-range shot from the free throw line, where he is best, but still failed to hit. This also made the commentator obviously lean towards the Knicks.

The CCTV commentators on one side couldn't help but lament Wade's "isolation and helplessness."

"Fans may hope that the Knicks can win. But from my perspective, I hope that someone from the Heat can step up and help Wade. This five-on-five game is really uncomfortable to watch."

Looking back, with the help of a little space created by O'Neal's pick-and-roll, Curry quickly took a shot and hit his first three-pointer of the game, directly stopping the Heat. (14:6)

From the perspective of later generations, Spoelstra can be regarded as a famous coach of the generation. With the Big Three, he was able to reach the finals four times and win twice; the Big Three disintegrated, and the Heat's operation under Pat Riley

Even though he fell into the "middle-class trap", he was still able to lead the team to the finals. If it weren't for Ke Yan, he would have been the most talented head coach at the same time.

But whether it is the "limitations" of his own abilities or the current situation of Pat Riley's "power", Spoelstra is destined to be far inferior to Ke Yan in terms of "team building ability". The Heat's lineup is obviously not deep enough.

After returning, he only replaced James Jones and Eddy Curry with Darrell Wright and Joel Anthony.

The Knicks also made substitution adjustments. O'Neal was replaced by DeAndre Jordan, and the team faced off with its strongest lineup.

As soon as he came on the field, Joel Anthony had a chance to score. Wade's sharp breakthrough and passing ball gave him an opportunity to take a shot from an open position in the penalty area. As a result, Gallinari quickly came over to cover the defense and got a foul to destroy the Heat's offense.

.

During the pre-game training, when the coaching staff analyzed the Heat, they singled out Joel Anthony. This is an insider with a rather mediocre ability. His offensive ability is almost zero, and his defensive effect can only be said to be average, but he can.

Score high in Pat Riley's evaluation criteria and get a lot of playing time. In the defense just now, the Knicks also consciously let go of him on the defensive end and invested more resources in Wade.

Joel Anthony missed two free throws, and Love protected the backcourt rebounds. This time, the Heat quickly defended and did not give the Knicks a chance to play a fast break. Falling into a positional battle, the defensive comparison between Wright and Joel Anthony

James Jones, who was substituted, and Eddy Curry were much better, and Haslem successfully defended Love's face-up singles.

The substitutions and adjustments on both sides have strengthened the defense and reduced the offensive threat to a certain extent. In this case, Wade, an attacker who has experienced the baptism of big scenes in the Finals, came up with a better attack than Curry and Gallinari.

In a stable state, he even completed a magical one-on-four during the game and hit a cool pull-up layup!

The Knicks, on the other hand, had everyone adding firewood and the flames were high. The east was not bright and the west was bright. They always maintained a double-digit lead. It was not until the end of the first quarter that the Heat resorted to the "shark-killing tactic" and stared at Jordan for a foul.

Reduce the score difference to 7 points.

Anyway, the lineup is at a disadvantage, and the most indispensable thing for the Heat is the "consumables" for fouls.

In the first quarter of the game, Wade played for 12 minutes, made 7 of 12 shots, and scored 17 points. It was a completely bloody Heat.

In the second quarter of the game, Wade continued to play and was not ready to rest. However, due to the decline in physical fitness, and Ke Yan arranged for Sun Yue and Holiday to give him more double attacks, the Flash's offensive efficiency suddenly dropped. In the first half of the game,

Only hit one goal in 6 shots.

The Knicks defended well, but Curry was not there, and the team's offense failed to open up the situation. In the regular season, when Curry was injured and took a rest, Holiday and Love played a good cooperation; but in the postseason

On the stage of the game, the two playoff virgins failed to withstand the pressure, and their offensive efficiency plummeted.

Fortunately, the point difference slowly stretched to double digits. The situation was in the Knicks' favor. Apart from Wade, only Gibson and Darrell Wright on the Heat were able to hit some shots piecemeal.

In the second half of the second quarter, Ke Yan returned to the main lineup and prepared to exert his strength. But Spoelstra repeated his old tricks and used the "shark-cutting tactic" to delay the Knicks from opening up the score, constantly sending O'Neal to

Get to the free throw line.

Once upon a time, the Heat were also victims of the "shark-killing tactic", and they were disgusted many times. Times have changed, and when it was their turn to use this tactic, they wanted to shout "It smells so good."

The Heat's "shark-cutting tactic" not only slows down the Knicks' offensive edge and disrupts the Knicks' offensive rhythm, but also has another purpose of helping Wade get "rest time" on the court and quickly recover his physical strength. But

Obviously, Wade is at a peak of physical fitness at this time, and a short rest is not enough to quickly return to the blue.

Although O'Neal's shooting percentage of 3 out of 10 free throws allowed the Heat's "shark-killing tactics" to achieve the desired results, their own offensive efficiency was not guaranteed and the point difference did not narrow.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Heat by 11 points 67:56!

When the players from both sides came off the court, Ke Yan smiled and high-fived the players one by one. Although the score difference was not big, the Knicks had already controlled the rhythm of the game. If they continued to play, it was only a matter of time before they won.

During the halftime break, Ke Yan praised the performance of young players, including Sun Yue and Holiday's defense against Wade. At the beginning of the second quarter, in terms of lineup, the Knicks should be "lower team vs. middle team", but Sun Yue and Holiday's defense against Wade.

Yue and Holiday restrained Wade very well, which was an unexpected blessing.

Especially Sun Yue. He has first-class lateral movement ability among players of the same height. Coupled with good defensive awareness and excellent wingspan, he is just suitable for guarding Wade. This is something Ke Yan did not expect.

.......

The 15 minutes of halftime passed quickly, and the players from both teams returned to the field after a short rest.

The Heat's lineup at the start of the third quarter was Gibson, Wade, Darrell Wright, Haslem and Eddy Curry. Wright, who has better physical talent and is more comprehensive, replaced James Jones, who has more accurate outside shooting.

The Knicks' lineup consists of Curry, Holiday, Gallinari, Love and DeAndre Jordan. Ke Yan plans to give Holiday and Sun Yue more time in this series.

The Heat attacked first, and Wade was still holding the ball. After playing the pick-and-roll with Haslem, his teammates were all in a tight position, so he had to take a quick shot and score two points, and he hit the iron without any accident.

Forcing Wade to finish in the mid-range, which he is not good at, is also the Knicks' dominant idea on the defensive end.

Holiday held the ball past half court, trying to hand it over to Love, who was in the high post. However, he took advantage of Gibson's mechanical defensive action to quickly complete the pass, and threw the ball high in the face of Eddy Curry's help.

In the air, Jordan rose from the ground and completed an alley-oop dunk.

"Beautiful, Holiday's breakthrough is so smart!" Yang Jian praised, "This rookie guard, who started as the starter during Curry's concussion, suddenly opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and found his way into the game.

The correct way to play his role in the game, and he broke down the rookie wall that stood in front of him."

"Neither Curry nor Love had the ball in this ball. But their role in containing the ball on the offensive end cannot be ignored. Looking at the replay, we can see that Wade and Haslem's defensive focus was on them from beginning to end.

You can't take care of others at all." Yang Yi pointed out the key to this round of attack.

When the Heat attack, Eddy Curry still occupies the low post to get the ball, occupying the C position of the team's offensive tactics. Wade's breakthrough route is blocked, so he can only hand the ball to Shark with a little helplessness. The latter holds the ball.

Playing alone on DeAndre Jordan, causing DeAndre Jordan to foul.

Xiao Qiaodan immediately put on Liu Huangshu's "innocent expression". Frankly speaking, his harmless appearance is more suitable for playing Liu Bei than Yu Hewei.

Love hugged Jordan immediately and didn't give him a chance to complain to the referee.

"That guy can't make a free throw anyway!"

Love's "curse" had obvious effects. Eddy Curry missed two free throws. Jordan protected the backcourt rebounds and yelled at the Heat players.

Facing Gibson's defense, Holiday continued to break through resolutely this time, causing physical contact and then fell to the ground and shot, causing Gibson's foul.

Spoelstra helplessly spread his hands, and then complained about the referee blowing the home whistle. But frankly speaking, today's standards are nothing in the playoffs, right? Moreover, the Heat frequently kill sharks, and they themselves are a bit of a loser.

Easily targeted by referees.

Holiday made a beautiful sudden move, but missed two free throws in a row. When he returned to defense, he was embarrassed.
