Zhou Xuan hit a free throw, scoring his 25th point, 100-82.

This ball wiped out all the momentum of the Heat. With an 18-point trail, it's impossible to catch up unless the Knicks have serious holes in their defense.

The Knicks didn't give the Heat a chance to chase points at all, replacing Scola, replacing Chandler, the best defensive player, and Parsons at the No. 4 position, while strengthening the defense inside and outside.

It's not so easy for James to play Chandler in the low post, he is also very explosive, and Chandler can also make up for it with his height. The Heat focused their offense on the perimeter, and Parsons switched defenses aggressively after the pick-and-roll breakaway.

Su Qun said: "The most satisfying thing about the Knicks now is that everyone is working defense. ”

Yang Jian said: "This is the benefit of bringing in Battier. His role is not in the stats, but in the team, he can learn a lot from the young players and serve as a role model for everyone else to work the defensive end. Leonard, Matthews, and Parsons all played and did not let up their defenses throughout the game. Nick Young plays a lot of time when he plays a weak team, and he usually sits off the court when he encounters tough games. He only played 13 minutes today. ”

Because of Tony Douglas, the coaching staff has experience in using convulsions, and if they feel good, they will play more, and if they don't feel good, they won't give time to adjust, and they will go straight off the court to rest and use other people, which ensures the efficiency of the whole team. Nick Young had run out of shooting sensations in the third quarter.

Nick Young can only endure it, he signed a two-year contract, and the second year is still a player option, not to brush up on statistics, but to win championships. As long as you get the ring and want to make money, you can enter the free market. This year, he will not be tricky and lose his temper.

After playing for a while, Zhou Xuan was replaced in advance at 2 minutes, and the Heat was still 16 points behind, and the main force was also replaced. The game goes into garbage time.

Fans left the stadium a third early, a way to express their displeasure with the home team. The Heat have become accustomed to losing, and they don't even have the idea of fighting. 2 minutes and 16 points, if the shooting is excellent, plus the opponent is killed, it is still possible to catch up. But the players didn't have much spirit, including Spoelstra, and they had no intention of fighting, so they just accepted their fate.

After the Heat was shocked by the shocking reversal, the biggest blow was morale, and it has not slowed down until now. Teams that often win, such as the Knicks, will definitely fight when they fall behind in the regular season, and they will never want to be upset by a weak team, which feels too embarrassing. The Heat no longer have this belief, can they be reversed 3-0 in the playoffs no matter how embarrassing they are? Can you lose the pinnacle of the Big Three and form a playoffs and go home to fish in a row?

Once this indifferent mentality appears, the team will not be able to win the championship.

112 to 98. The Knicks beat the Heat on the road.

After this game, many people thought that the Knicks could break the Bulls' 72-win record. They mainly play against teams in the East and only play two games against the West. Under these conditions, they easily beat the top two in the East, and their record in the same region should be guaranteed.

The Heat was once again put on the fire by the media, and if the Big Three are not disbanded, the popularity that has been accumulated for several years will disappear. Heat owner Micky Amieson expressed his dissatisfaction with the coaching staff and players.

This time losing to the Knicks, Armison finally couldn't help but stand up and speak. "It's not that the fans have a big appetite, it's that the Heat are really not good enough. Under the premise that the salary in the East is second only to the Nets, they have not been able to win the first place in the regular season, and last year's second place was the best record after the Big Three teamed up. The team is now averaging 38 rebounds per game. 71, all of which are only ranked second to last in the league, what does this make fans think? ”

A few days ago, the famous Forbes magazine published the latest issue of the list of the 400 richest people in the United States. In this list, NBA owners have 3 people in the top 100, of which the richest owner in the NBA is Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen, who ranks 20th with a net worth of $15 billion. He is not only the owner of the NBA Trail Blazers, but also the owner of the NFL Seattle Seahawks, and he is currently the richest professional sports team owner in the United States! Magic owner Richard DeVos is in 67th place with a net worth of $5.1 billion. And Heat owner Armison ranks 68th with a net worth of $5 billion, and these three are the only three American professional sports team owners whose total assets have entered the top 100.

However, making a lot of money does not satisfy Armisen, he wants to see results, he wants to see the team win the championship, like in 2006. It's a pity that the dream woke up too quickly, and the Heat went downhill in the second season.

The next day, Armison called Riley out of the office and said straight to the point: "The team can't go on like this, is there any way to make the Heat overwhelm the Knicks in these two seasons and hit the championship?" Can Bosh, Wade, and James be taken apart? ”

Riley analyzed the current situation and came to the conclusion that it was difficult and shook his head.

Armison said: "Let them be separated as soon as possible, if it doesn't work, trade James away, he didn't bring the Heat a championship, only shame." Wouldn't it be stronger to exchange him for two second-rate stars, build a lineup like the Knicks, and let Wade be the core? ”

Armison still thinks the Heat are Wade's team. Wade led the team to win the championship in 2006, and since everyone said that the two had similar styles and overlapped positions, the boss wanted to keep Wade and fulfill the loyalty of "The Flash". As for what evaluation and negative impact being traded will bring to James, he didn't think about it. He knows very well that the Heat are playing like this, and James may also jump out of the contract in 2014, and the Heat will probably not get anything at that time, so it is better to send him away now and attack the championship in another way.

Riley sighed: "It's very risky to do this, James is here, and the team's box office is still guaranteed." ”

"He wants a championship to come, and if he can't win it with the Heat, will he be willing to stay in 2014? What if he doesn't keep us? Now the deal is good for both parties. Armison insisted.

It's no wonder that there are benefits, in order to get James, at least half of the team is exchanged, and he doesn't want to go to a small city, and he can't stay if he goes. The Lakers and Knicks, who are optional in big cities, have their own cores. James to be the second in command? If the Knicks are strengthened, the lineup will be too terrifying. And the Lakers may use the garbage contracts of Artest and Nash as bargaining chips, how is this possible?

Riley was sweating all over his head as he thought. There is no way to solve it, this is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God! If you don't send it away, at most until next season, James may choose to jump out of the contract, and if Bosh and Wade also jump out, the Heat's salary is not allowed to sign two cap salaries at all, and they have to break up.

After getting the best manager and getting the praise, Riley felt like he had dug a hole for himself. In fact, he is just too unlucky, if there is no rise of the Knicks in the East, the Heat will definitely be able to dominate in the East, and the overall competition in the East is not as fierce as in the West, and they can at least enter the Finals. Now it's being killed by Nikosk.

"Trying to make a trade in the middle of the game doesn't do any role players," Armison said. I don't want to see another playoffs fiasco, can you talk to James and see what team he wants to go to? ”

Riley is even more embarrassed, is this question appropriate? It doesn't work if you don't ask, James has a veto on the trade. Even if there is no veto power and the deal is finalized quietly, James suddenly finds himself going to a bad team for a physical examination, isn't this the treatment of role players? I'm afraid that James will curse Riley and his son to share a ****......

The boss demanded, and Riley could only agree to it first, and then find a way. The "Golden Operator" has encountered a big problem. If it was last season, they could have traded Howard with the Magic, who should they look for now? How can there be a person whose salary is equal to that of James and whose strength is about the same!

Of course, as long as the Heat are willing to trade, other teams will still be interested in James, and in any case, he is one of the best in the league and has MVP-level strength.

For example, the Bulls, they are very envious of the Heat having James.

On the 9th, the Knicks challenged the Bulls away. The Bulls have an 11-8 record this season. Derrick Rose can make the bull miserable.

As soon as the big contract began to be executed, Rose was reimbursed. In an interview with NBA television in the summer, he said he hoped he would be able to return to the Bulls' roster around the 2012-2013 All-Star Weekend, but now acknowledges that he could be fully refunded for the following season.

Ross underwent surgery on May 12, and his cruciate ligament injury was much more severe than Zhou's, completely ruptured, and doctors believe he will need at least eight to 12 months to recover.

For a player like Rose, whose style of play relies heavily on speed and agility to attack, a serious injury can be a problem. Now he has psychological problems due to physical problems, which has already lit up a red light, and if he does not overcome this psychological obstacle as soon as possible, the future will also be affected.

The Bulls' starting point guard is veteran Hinrich. In the first quarter, Zhou Xuan completely blew it up, scoring 10 points and 5 assists, and the defensive Hinrich couldn't score a point, only one assist and one rebound.

There was no way, Thibodeau had no choice but to send Nate Robinson to fight against Zhou Xuan. Although Robinson is active defensively, his height is only 175CM, and it is difficult to block Zhou Xuan's shot, and he is still obviously at a disadvantage. On the offensive end, Robinson forced shots a few times and had a low shooting percentage.

The Bulls are good at other positions defensively and offensively. Noah is developing into a star center with a lot of action on the defensive end and is quicker to move faster than Chandler to break through at guard. Boozer and Tegibson are also excellent interior players. Helplessly, the No. 1 position couldn't defend it alone, which caused Thibodeau's defensive system to collapse.

In the second half, Zhou Xuan singled out Robinson to hit two three-pointers, and assisted Leonard to beat Belinelli to score, widening the score and winning by 15 points.

Without Rose, the Bulls are effectively out of contention. And they don't have the salary space to bring in any more stars, so they can only wait for Rose to come back.

Looking at the contract amount, Ross is a little higher than Zhou Xuan in five years. One person won the MVP for the second consecutive year, and he continued to play strong this season. The timing of the other's return is undecided. Thibodeau couldn't support Ross being stronger than Zhou Xuan.

There are more fans who like Zhou Xuan, Rose watched the game on TV, and he doubted that he would not be able to get rid of Zhou Xuan's shadow in his life.
