Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1069: Losing like this is a bit despairing

The Heat originally hoped to use a small lineup and the offensive capabilities of James, Wade and Anthony to seize opportunities for defensive counterattacks and catch the Knicks off guard with the capabilities of the Big Four.

This was already the strongest tactic of the Big Four during the Heat era, and it can be said that they maximized their strengths and avoided their weaknesses to the extreme.

Not only can it solve the problem of not being high enough inside and not strong enough in confrontation, but it can also solve the problem of not having a shooter. By the way, it can maximize the abilities of James and Wei, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

However, the reality is that their speed is completely unable to play up, or in other words, the Knicks did not give them any chance to run.

Hand-to-hand combat, positions, brutal strangulation battles.

In a trance, people can see the shadow of the 2005 Spurs vs. Pistons.

Yes, it's very similar. Putting aside the offensive end, the Knicks really have a shadow of the peak Spurs.

Intensive defense and a suffocating rhythm made it impossible for the Pistons, a historically strong defensive team, to escape.

How could the Spurs win in 2005? The Spurs had a better sense of rhythm under the defense of the brothers?

Controlling the rhythm equals controlling everything.

Rebounds +1+1 and then +1...

In the third quarter, the Knicks switched to a bigger lineup first. David Lee and Randolph came on the court at the same time for the first time in a long time. The Knicks' three inside lines began to torture Bosh.

Fortunately, Wade is still very respectful to his good brother, but what he said is a bit lacking in confidence, and he lacks the enthusiasm to jump on the technical stage in the first place.

By the middle of the third quarter, the inside score of this game had reached an astonishing 40-21...

Bosh doesn’t want to play anymore…

They originally started out by fighting positional warfare.

What?

Where is the innocence?

78-70, after three quarters, the score difference is still 8 points.

100-90, the Knicks brought the score to 100 points at the last minute, which completely declared that the Heat had no hope of chasing points.

The silly big man Haslem was walking around excitedly, shouting as he walked: "Well done, we did well, we have a chance, in the second half, we must rush and win, kill them, my dear guys!"

!!”

But unfortunately, Bosh's nightmare continues and becomes more cruel.

"Zuo Li killed the suspense of the game. With 1 minute left, the score difference widened to 10 points. It's over. Let's go home!" Barkley stood up and howled.

However, the point difference was still 8 points. Fortunately, the Heat had a good touch tonight. Wade, Anthony, and even James all threw in three-pointers.

Bosh, who sat on the bench for a while, looked solemn, but felt relieved.

In other words, regardless of the small difference in points, it is not that easy for the Heat to catch up.

…

But at this time, some people have already thought about it. This game is not right... Although it feels like the Knicks played mediocrely, the Heat really can't surpass it!

Of course, the Knicks' tactical ability is absolutely superb and very advanced. The tactics for this game were formulated by the German coach and Cole together.

Just like the Knicks did in the first half, the Heat had to follow the Knicks into the strangulating rhythm of positional warfare.

The Knicks frantically handed the ball to the inside. Randolph, David Lee, and Zuo Li took turns playing singles, and the time in a single round reached 22 seconds.

Anthony was silent. He actually regretted coming to the Heat because he found that the four superstars were not easy to play.

Supplementary defense, can't control...

They analyzed the Heat's style of play and finally decided to use positional warfare to drag the Heat to death.

After saying that, he howled for a while.

Think about it, when he led the team to play in the Western Conference finals, even though he lost, he had a hearty battle with Kobe. But look here, although he scored a lot, he was always uncomfortable playing. After all, he did it for James.

It also changed a lot of my usual playing styles.

"Ouch ouch ouch~~"

I can finally get my blood back...

Heat locker room.

"Good man..." Zuo Li put his hands on his hips. He hadn't gotten 30+20 for a long time.

Sibo slapped himself on the head. Looking at his beloved general, he felt for the first time that sometimes innocence is also a kind of happiness.

Insider, can't bear it...

The Heat's defensive intensity could not be maintained, so Zuo Li took the lead in attacking the Heat's positions. In the fourth quarter, when Zuo Li scored the 34th point of the night with a serpentine dance, the entire Madison Square Garden once again

He stood up and cheered: "MVP——!!!"

The desperate Heat began to throw three-pointers at a faster pace, but their anxious mentality caused them to make mistakes one after another...

The Heat players put their hands on their hips and refused to leave. Losing like this made them a little desperate.

Brain!

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Heat's physical fitness declined seriously. Their path to promotion in the playoffs was not as easy as the Knicks. Moreover, they could play too little. They had to rotate seven players to kill them all, and they were one goal with the Knicks.

A ball has been hammered hard for three quarters. No matter how hard it is, it should be softened.

Bottomless!

But he wasn't ready to give up, he had to at least give it a try. After all, it was still the Eastern Conference finals, one step away from the finals. If he gave up at this time, he would be sorry for the 1.8 million salary he gave up.

In the end, 102-92, the Knicks defeated the Heat and got off to a good start in the Eastern Conference Finals, achieving their 9th consecutive playoff victory.

But regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, the reality is that he did not feel like he could win this game at all. The Knicks on the opposite side gave him the feeling of being in the ocean.

However, Bosh was beaten, and the Heat's inside line was even more ruined. Haslem was either bullied by Zuo Li, or was switched out to guard the small one.

However, now he realizes that the Knicks are a bit outrageous. Four superstars cannot beat them!?

Is this so reasonable?!

I didn't come, the Heat were abused, but I came, and if the Heat are still abused, then I didn't come here in vain!

Can’t play anymore!

After beating Bosh so hard, he quickly picked up four fouls, and Spoelstra had to replace him with Haslem.

At this time, Bosh's head was bubbling, and he kept showing negative emotions +1+1+1...

In the last minute, Zuo Li collected 4 rebounds in a row, bringing his data to 34 points and 20 rebounds.

Especially when talking about the point difference, it feels more like convincing myself.

James agreed. Although his expression was solemn, he managed to hold it together and his mentality did not explode. Although his performance was mediocre, he was still an important combatant.

Forget it, he can endure it for the sake of the championship. This is the purpose of his coming here, otherwise why would he go through this muddy water.

This season the Knicks have been trying to speed up, but they have not forgotten their special skills.

The only one among the Big Four who doesn't want to play is Bosh. He is in the fourth position. Who can understand the pain of fighting with Zuo Li, Randolph, and David Lee...

Didn't you see that everyone else was silent except him? Doesn't this guy know how to read the atmosphere?

"Yes, we have a chance! Don't give up, it's only eight points!"

Anthony looked at the ceiling and began to doubt life. Why did he run to the east in the first place?

It is said that the west is strong and the east is weak. This is true. It is easy to improve the results in the east.

But no one told him that there was such a terrifying demon king in the east!

Looking at his celebrating opponents, Anthony regretted...
