Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Yes, what Barkley said is absolutely right, it's just too reasonable, because you can't find a reason why the Knicks don't win from any angle.

At the end of garbage time in the fourth quarter, 88-110, the Knicks defeated the Heat with 22 points, successfully getting the series started and successfully achieving their 9th consecutive victory in the playoffs this season.

It started with a zone defense, without any testing, directly seizing the Heat's Achilles' heel. The Heat tried the strategy of three-pointers to open up space, but tonight the Heat's three-pointers kept hitting the iron, which not only made the Knicks shrink smaller and smaller.

, the Heat's attackers really couldn't break through the Knicks' intensive defense, which also allowed the Knicks to completely perform their best offensive and defensive transitions.

In fact, the Heat's defense is not bad. Spoelstra also relied on defense this season. The defensive strategy against Rose in the last round can be regarded as the masterpiece of his career. They also continued their defensive ability in this round.

It's just a pity that the offensive disadvantage directly radiated to the defensive end. The Heat's best positional defense did not perform well at all. The whole game was either missing one or two missing defenses, and there was almost no time to be neat. Moreover, such a wild run made the Heat prematurely

The loss of physical fitness caused him to be unable to hold on in the third quarter.

The most exciting thing is undoubtedly the offensive and defensive strategy of the substitute lineup. Because the Heat's role players are really too weak and are beaten by their opponents in almost every round, the Knicks can unscrupulously give up the defense of role players and focus on locking down the giants.

century…

At the same time, in this game, the Knicks gave full play to the defensive ability of each player. Everyone took turns. D'Antoni paid close attention to the Knicks' defensive intensity. Once the defensive intensity dropped, he would immediately make substitutions.

This also resulted in Wade and James facing the strongest defense whenever they played, which also made them miserable.

Throughout the game, Wade made 8 of 18 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 21 points; James made 7 of 17 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 8 free throws, also scoring 21 points.

points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

Although the two scored 42 points together, for the playoffs, it seems, maybe, probably, it can be justified?

In addition, Bosh performed well in the transition period, hitting 5 goals in 11 shots and 4 free throws. He also scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. His efficiency is the highest among the Big Three.

However, looking at the Knicks next door, the top three scorers are Zuo Li with 34 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, Randolph with 20 points and 7 rebounds, and Curry with 18 points, 7 assists and 2 steals.

In this comparison, the Heat's Big Three were completely suppressed by the Knicks' trio.

And it was very suppressed!

In addition to personal ability, this is all due to the interlocking, fascinating and indispensable tactics!

After the game, Smith said: "The Knicks set a trap for the Heat from the first second. The Heat had no chance from beginning to end."

Many Heat fans also expressed their understanding for the team giving up the game early, because under the circumstances at that time, unless the world suddenly ended, it would be impossible for the Heat to reverse it. If James and the others fought hard to the end but still couldn't win, then what would happen to the Heat?

It hurts too much for the Heat.

The Heat can lose, but if they lose their momentum, they will really have to watch the Knicks overtake them in this series.

…

After the game, the Knicks players high-fived each other in a relaxed manner. The victory in this game did not seem to make them particularly excited. This is understandable. After all, this is not the first time they have won. Since the Heat formed the Big Three, they have not

Have lost.

As the undisputed focus of the game, Zuo Li high-fived his teammates one by one and then hugged the star friends sitting on the sidelines one by one.

"You guys are more calm when winning than me." Eli Manning hit Zuo Li's chest and said happily. He was happy tonight.

"I know! This may be what Chinese people often say: xiong you g zhu." Swift on the side raised her hand and spoke word by word in Chinese.

Seeing Zuo Li's eyes in amazement, Swift winked mischievously: "I have learned Chinese!"

"Awesome!" Zuo Li gave a thumbs up. Although not many people could understand what he said, it was really in Chinese.

And...it's still an idiom!

The most ridiculous thing is that the meaning is really accurate!

Zuo Li was too well prepared for this series. He knew the Heat's tactics well and even guessed how Spoelstra would respond. The win was indeed within his expectations, and the process was very easy, so he won

The ball will naturally not be too excited.

And 1-0 is not the time to get excited. Zuo Li knows Spoelstra and the man behind Spoelstra, Riley. They are not the type to give up easily. Moreover, they are not at the end of their rope now. From the end, they are clean and tidy.

By letting the starters go, it can be seen that they should have begun to look for a solution now. Just like the last round against the Bulls, they also lost a game first, and then found a way to win quickly.

"However, no matter what method you think of, we will try our best to win G2." Zuo Li thought silently in his heart.

The 2-0 advantage is too big and they have no reason not to go all out.

Moreover, they still have an advantage. Taking the lead will undoubtedly put more pressure on the Heat, which is definitely good news for the Knicks.

…

Zuo Li was right. The Heat players who returned to the locker room were not particularly depressed. They quickly adjusted their mentality. James was still in the mood to give everyone a dance.

Sometimes pressure and criticism can really make people grow. For example, now, the Heat, who have been scolded all the way this season, have become accustomed to criticism from the outside world.

As the saying goes, a lot of debt doesn't weigh you down.

Moreover, the Heat have encountered enough problems this season, which has also tempered their ability to solve problems.

Got beaten? Then think of a way to come back in the next game!

I have to admit that the Heat came up with different things in the four games of the regular season. Although it was of no use in the end, it at least proved that they were really working hard.

Although hard work may not be useful, if you don't work hard, it will definitely be in vain.

But this time, Spoelstra and Riley encountered the most difficult problem to solve, that is, there is no three-pointer. With the current wave of players, there is no three-pointer.

Spoelstra can make 100 outside plays in a night, but if you can't make a shot, no matter how many tactics you use, it's useless.

But the best way to break the zone defense is to make three-pointers. If the Knicks can't make the shot, they won't change their tactics. It will only be a matter of time before the Heat lose.

So what to do...

After much deliberation, Riley made the final decision!

Ji Li Gua La Ji Li Gua...

Riley decided on his approach to the next game in the locker room.

Before leaving, Spurs wanted to give Riley a thumbs up. He was indeed a great fortune teller, but his heart was so dark that he could think of such a way!

But Spoelstra has to admit that this may be the best way at the moment.
