Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 344 Easy but not completely easy

Welcome to watch a focus game of the 2008-209 NBA regular season brought to you by CCTV Sports."

"The two teams facing each other are the league's upstart New York Knicks, who are sitting at Madison Square Garden at home, and the Miami Heat, a veteran team that has regained its vitality in the new season."

CCTV Sports prepared to broadcast the game live at 9:30. Yu Jia read the familiar opening remarks, and the guest was also the familiar Yang Yi, the king of poetry reading.

"The main reason why this game is the focus is that if the Knicks, who currently have an excellent record and are ranked first in the Eastern Conference, can successfully win this game, they will have the opportunity to lock in a playoff spot 23 rounds in advance.

, this will also be their return to the playoffs after 5 years."

"Even if they lose, they will definitely be able to enter the playoffs in the Eastern Conference based on their record, but being able to qualify for the playoffs so many games in advance is a big deal for the city of New York and the Knicks.

, is of great significance.”

Yu Jia briefly introduced the situation of this game, and then made predictions for this game with Yang Yi.

"Guide Yang Yi, who are you more optimistic about winning this game?"

"I'm optimistic about the Knicks. Why? The Knicks are in good shape this season. Let's not mention Zuo Li. This ability, this level, and this dominance in the interior can be said to be at the forefront of the league. The Knicks have the No. 1 pick.

It’s really worth it.”

"And Zuo Li directly revitalized the stagnant Knicks. In fact, the Knicks' lineup has always been good. Despite the fact that the outside world always said that the Knicks were stupid and rich, he still bought many star players at the time."

"Take last season, there was Randolph (2011) inside, Marbury (206) on the outside, and the best sixth man Crawford on the bench. Is this lineup weak? Is it possible in the West?

It’s not good enough, but in the Eastern Conference, if we play well and make the playoffs, we should have a chance, but we just won 22 games.”

"According to Director Zhang, this is unreasonable!"

"With the arrival of Zuo Li this season, everything has been activated. Now the Knicks may only have Zuo Li and Randolph, but there are so many who can play, such as David Lee, Dragic, Novak, Chandler.

, Harrington, Crawford, these guys are really good at playing like crazy. They can play positionally and play fast breaks. Look at what they played against the Raptors a few days ago." Yang Yi clearly supports the Knicks.

Yu Jia was sweating after listening to this routine. Doesn't this mean that Zuo Li is so awesome that he needs such a long paragraph? This cultural person is different. Praising someone is a different style of painting.

If Zuo Li hears Yu Jia's voice-over, he will definitely raise his hands to express his agreement. Zuo Li still remembers the "throne" in the finals a few years later.

However, Yu Jia also holds the same opinion. After all, although the Heat are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers' record is just 50%. If they were not in the Eastern Conference, they would not be fifth. Moreover, the Heat's biggest problem is that Hassler is too weak inside.

Being the starting center is really the bottom line for starting centers in the league, and it can't be any lower.

This big man must not be beaten against the Knicks' big man.

In fact, such worries are not unreasonable. The Heat are a team that relies purely on Wade alone. Wade not only lacks helpers, but also has big holes in the inside that often make his efforts in vain. The Heat management chose Bis

Lee was actually looking for help in the paint, but he didn't expect Beasley to be so unreliable. Not only did he not like playing in the paint, he also competed with Wade for the lead, which led to the famous summer the year after.

Historically, the Heat were easily eliminated by the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs because they were too weak in the paint. Horford almost got what he wanted in the paint, and he could play how he wanted.

In this era, the inside is the most important thing. No matter whether you focus on the inside or not, if the inside is not high, you can't play. This is how Ray Allen was beaten away in the SuperSonics.

Therefore, it is normal for the outside world to be optimistic about the Knicks because of this. What's more, the Knicks are definitely very eager for this victory and have been very proactive from the beginning.

With Zuo Li, Randolph, Chandler, Larry Hughes and Duhon, the Knicks have put together a lineup that is most suitable for positioning. It seems that this lineup is mainly focused on the inside.

The Heat have not changed much, with Haslem, Marion, Beasley, Wade and Chalmers. This lineup has excellent athletic ability but is very short.

As soon as the game started, Zuo Li dialed the ball and the Knicks began to press time. Randolph sat inside and beat Marion. The Heat did not dare to double-team and could only watch Marion grinning as he was hit.

2-0, the Knicks took the lead.

Then Zuo Li used a big block on the defensive end to greet Marion, who wanted to challenge the penalty area. His three-step throw was blocked by Zuo Li in the air. Although it was not a big block, it was incredible that he could block the throw.

Already.

Duhon, who easily pocketed the ball, did not play fast. He now focuses on positional battles and perfectly complements Dragic. In some important occasions, Duhon is more suitable. After all, Dragic is too young and prone to mistakes.

Playing decisively, Zuo Li succeeded again in the paint, attacking and defending, 4-0.

The rhythm of the start was very smooth. Spoelstra's timeout did not change the situation. The Knicks easily led 24-15 by 9 points in the first quarter. Although the score was not high, scoring like this in a positional battle is sometimes more desperate than running and gunning. After all, there are few rounds.

, there are almost no fast break opportunities.

In the second quarter, the Knicks continued to expand their advantage, 24-18 in a single quarter. Although 6 points did not seem to be much, they still had a 15-point advantage at halftime.

Zuo Li only played 15 minutes and spent most of the time waving a towel, but he still scored 14 points and 6 rebounds, which was extremely efficient.

By this time, Madison was already high. Anyone could see that this would be an easy victory. Even Zuo Li was ready to clock out in the third quarter.

But at this time, the situation on the field suddenly changed, and a guy stood up.

Wade!

In the new season, the only man with a 99-point rating in 2k only scored 8 points in the first half. His condition was average and his touch was not good.

In later generations, he was ridiculed by fans because of his 9 points and slightly embarrassing retirement parade, and was even kicked out of the ranks of giants by many people. However, in this era, whoever dares to underestimate him will definitely suffer a big loss.

As soon as the third quarter started, Wade came into the game and drew a foul from the bottom corner and made two free throws.

Knicks didn't feel anything, but in the next round, when he stole Duhong and completed a one-stop dunk on fast break, Zuo Li smelled something was wrong.

"I'll defend." Zuo Li chose to play by himself. He was out of position to face Wade, and used his long arms to put Wade into a dilemma.

However, in this situation, Wade directly faced Zuo Li and forced a throw. The shooting point of the basketball was ridiculously high, but it only missed Zuo Li's fingertips and flew out.

but!

This slightly desperate shot unexpectedly hit the board and went into the basket!

"omg~! It's in, a three-pointer, 7 points in a row, 7-2, 10 points left!" Yang Yi shouted in surprise.

Zuo Li was also surprised that he could enter!?

After making the shot, Wade roared excitedly, hammering his chest and almost shouting, "This is my home."

This ball fired up the Heat guys, and their momentum is back!

"It's hard to handle..." Zuo Li put his hands on his hips, now he was in a bit of trouble.

Sure enough, the Heat got bigger and more passionate. Beasley hit Chandler continuously from mid-range, which made Chandler miserable. Beasley, who was excited about the beating, showed his "sharp" side, and the Heat beat Chandler in a single quarter.

30--15, tied the score in one quarter!

"Oh, we just got the news that the 76ers lost to the Western Jazz in an away game, but now, can the Knicks advance ahead of schedule?"
