Chapter 730 [Foresight]

In the second half, the Heat players worked harder defensively, but the offense struggled to break through the Knicks' defense. The problem is still on the inside, "Birdman" Anderson is the target of the perimeter being emptied, and the Knicks can shrink the defense as much as they want. Playing small ball tactics is in the hands of the opponent. The Knicks let Parsons play the No. 4 position, and Anderson played center for more offense.

The Knicks also performed very well on the defensive end, the players were not afraid of fouls, once they were over, they were immediately pulled and did not give them a chance to make easy layups, and James' free throw shooting percentage was not good enough. But the Big Three of the Heat didn't dare to defend like this. The Knicks have people to replace, and Scola and Bleice are both capable. The Heat doesn't have a big three, I'm afraid it's a bad team at the bottom of the league.

In the third quarter, Wade scored 15 points and made a three-pointer.

Wade is certainly not as good as the peak, but this season he is in better shape than last season, last season was plagued by injuries, the transformation did not improve, and often played outrageous performances. Now that I've adjusted it, I feel more comfortable than before. With less possession and shots, he averaged 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 assist per game. 7 steals, 0. 8 caps. Currently 52. The 3% shooting percentage is also a career-high. Scoring fewer points than James, he can also rank ninth on the scoring list. There is still the possibility of a burst of defense after the regular season. Matthews struggled to defend him alone, and Stephenson could only interfere with him with his mouth cannon.

But the other two giants were lost again. In particular, Bosh shot 1 of 6, did not enter the basket at all, and stood outside after blocking and dismantling, and passed back, determined to become the American Yi Jianlian.

Bosh had a total of 4 points and 3 rebounds in the third quarter, and his state was outrageously sluggish. Chinese fans nicknamed him "Bo Yiban" and ridiculed him for his poor ability to grab rebounds.

On the Knicks' side, Zhou Xuan scored 18 points, 10 assists and 1 steal, and cut a double-double. Parsons' 22 points were equally impressive. Matthews and Leonard have also scored double-doubles, and more points have blossomed.

In the fourth quarter, Zhou Xuan went down to rest for a while, Jeremy Lin and Stephenson partnered on the outside, Leonard and Anderson on the front, and Chandler in the center.

This young squad relied on tenacious defense to maintain the advantage.

Seeing Jeremy Lin's performance as inferior to Cole and Chalmers, Pat Riley felt that he should give away the title of "golden operator". At the beginning, Jeremy Lin was not wanted, and he tried out and did odd jobs everywhere, and no one ever found his value. Mullin discovered that if Jeremy Lin had been brought to the team, the point guard would have been immediately improved, and Jeremy Lin could even become a starter.

And Stephenson, who the Heat could have selected in the second round and could have traded him without much cost, but all teams thought Stephenson was a problem player and didn't want to take risks, even if they knew that he was the No. 1 high school student in the country. Not to mention Tyson Chandler, many teams are staring at his injury problems, poor statistics, but forget that he is there, the Hornets almost won the best record in the regular season, and after he was injured, the Hornets couldn't even make the playoffs.

The Knicks uniforms were more daring to gamble, and they all won.

Three minutes later, Zhou Xuan returned to the court, partnering with Matthews, Leonard, Parsons, and Chandler. The Heat sent the Big Three, Dunleavy and Chalmers.

The Knicks continue to hold the edge. Leonard singled out Wade, hit the board with his back, and covered Anderson without the ball in the middle, received a pass from Zhou Xuan, threw and scored, and scored 4 points in a row.

D'Antoni stood up and cheered for him. The Knicks did not bring in a famous star, but they produced their own giants, and the coaching staff believed that Leonard would become an All-Star sooner or later.

At the 6th minute, the Heat called a timeout, and there was a small tidbit on the sidelines, with Wade and James arguing. Wade thinks James should step up and break through, organize, and score. But 6 minutes before the end of the quarter, James was playing "disappearing". He didn't say anything about Bosh's bad offensive play, because the coach arranged for Bosh to play blocking and dismantling, and he had to empty the interior instead of going to the basket to attack.

James was speechless, usually Wade is depressed that he has too few shots, today Wade made the most shots, the team couldn't win, and Wade began to complain that he didn't shoot again. James was a little envious of Zhou Xuan at this time, no matter whether Zhou Xuan shot more or less, he could adjust it by himself, and the coaching staff and teammates would not say anything. Not when it comes to him. Focusing on scoring, people say that he plays alone and wastes his teammates. Focusing on organization and defense, people say he is stealthy.

James feels that the Knicks' method of building a team is really far-sighted, even Stadamire has sent it away, there is no star on the team who is on the same level as Zhou Xuan, and he has established his absolute core position, who dares to be dissatisfied? Xiao Si is like the David Robinson of the Spurs Twin Towers back then, only playing an excessive role. What's worse is that Xiao Si was sent away without winning the championship, and Robinson got the championship ring with soy sauce.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks switched to an all-attack lineup, and with a 13-point lead, D'Antoni still wanted to fight for offense. He has an attacking heart and never feels too far ahead.

The inside line is Scola and Anderson, and the outside line is Zhou Xuan, Matthews, and Battier. Leonard's defense of James consumed a lot of physical strength, and Battier only played 6 minutes in the whole game, full of energy, and it is very suitable to come up to defend James at this time.

Heat Kerr, James Jones, added a precise three-point shooting point, Wade cameo point guard and Zhou Xuan opposite.

The Heat attacked, the ball was passed to Wade, and Zhou Xuan defended and began to press in front of the three-point line. Wade's three-point shooting is still not accurate this year, but letting him go two steps away is definitely not a good strategy, because he is different from Rondo, his body is stronger, leaving room to accelerate, and his confrontation ability will also improve immediately, which is not easy to block.

Wade knew what Zhou Xuan was good at, there was no strong burst, and Bosh played a block and dismantle, Battier changed defenses, and Wade went to the left side to pass the ball to James in the low post.

James singled Scola and leaned on his back twice, relying on explosiveness to quickly turn around to the middle, and hooked the ball with his right hand. The two are about the same height and weight, but James's explosiveness is much stronger than Scola's.

Zhou Xuan received the bottom line ball, his face expressionless. It only took him a second to calculate the gains and losses. It doesn't matter if James plays in the low post, Scola really can't prevent fouls, and the fouls reach a certain number of substitutions. Without three-point shooting, the Heat will not be able to catch up, and they will have to find a way to prevent the Knicks' offense.

Zhou Xuan gave the ball to Anderson, and Scola ran to the right side of the baseline in the middle of the screen. The players all pulled out the outside line, Bosh changed defenses, and the ball was passed to Zhou Xuan.

Scola didn't cut in the air either, standing high in the field. Wade can't chase the defense, and if he chases, there will definitely be an empty position. Zhou Xuan took the ball and dribbled under his crotch and handed it to his left hand, retreated with the ball, held the ball in his left hand, and approached with his right hand.

Bosh saw that the distance was widened, and with a small step forward, Zhou Xuan immediately dribbled under his crotch and changed to the bottom line, and the breakthrough was successful. Bosh hurriedly turned to the side to follow, Zhou Xuan calculated the right step, jumped up in front of the basket on the right side, and drifted in the air to the other side of the basket to score a backhand basketball.

Bosh was next to him, but he couldn't block it, and Zhou Xuan used the basket as a cover. Bosh jumped up and found that his arm was blocked by the basket, and unless he took a step forward, he could block Zhou Xuan without being judged to interfere with the ball.

Zhou Xuan scored 20 points, 95-80.

Bosh was terrified when he landed. If this is also calculated, this guy is terrible, this is going against the sky!

The Heat attacked, Wade passed the ball to James, and it was Scola who defended in the low post. Scola's defense is not without merit, his strength is good, and Gasol, who once resisted, could not enter the three-second zone and scored only ten. This time, he also resisted James, so that he couldn't go deep into the basket to score easily, and the others didn't come up to help defend.

James first turned around to the middle and shook it, and then turned to the baseline and jumped, relying on explosiveness, Scola couldn't cover it, and the ball went in. 95 to 82.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhou Xuan and Anderson blocked on the left side and dodged Wade. This time James went to defend Scola, Zhou Xuan bypassed him to attack, and James couldn't rush up from the right to change defense. Zhou Xuan broke through on the left side, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand.

Bosh didn't move, guessing that he was going to make a "Buddha worship" feint again. Zhou Xuan quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed over his right hand backwards, and took a step towards the middle. This step has two effects, one is to get closer to Bosh, and the other is to attract Wade to help defend, as long as Wade rushes at him, passing to Anderson on the outside is an opportunity.

This season Anderson is averaging 14 per game. 1 point, the three-point shooting rate is as high as 42%, and it must not be missed. Wade didn't come up, Bosh moved sideways to block Zhou Xuan's breakthrough route, Zhou Xuan leaned on him and pulled the ball with his right hand, strode around and turned to the baseline backward jumper.

The whole action was done in one go, Bosh turned slowly, and before he could take off, the jump ball was already thrown, and the hollow went into the net. Zhou Xuan scored 22nd points, 97-82.

The Heat attacked, James singled out Scola for the third time, turned low and shot wide, and Anderson won the rebound.

Yang Jian said with a smile: "If you always let James play like this, everyone else will stand and watch, and the Knicks will not be covered." The Heat should play more tactically. ”

Su Qun said: "If the Heat can't shoot outside the three-point line and lose today, they will lose on the three-point shot." Since the start of the season, the Knicks have the best three-point shooting team in the league, shooting more than 10 per game, which is the key magic weapon for them to win. ”

At this time, Anderson and Zhou Xuan played blocking and dismantling, and Dunleavy changed defenses. Bosh defends Battier at the baseline, which makes it easier to make up for the basket.

Zhou Xuan didn't rush to attack after being misplaced, and protected the ball on the periphery. Battier made an off-ball screen with Scola on the baseline, got away from Bosh and ran towards the bottom left corner.

James followed out to defend Battier. Scola quickly pulled to the high cover and blocked Dunleavy again, Zhou Xuan broke through on the right side, and Bosh was in the opposite position again, relying on speed to rush to the bottom line. He paused with his back to the axis, took a step towards the middle with his right foot, attracted Bosh to move, and then quickly turned to the baseline, holding the ball with one hand in his right hand and making a layup pose.

Bosh jumped on the side to block it, how do you know that this is still a feint, Zhou Xuan's central axis foot stood very steady, and when Bosh jumped in the air, he also jumped up, and at the same time as hitting Bosh, he leaned over the ball to his left hand to push the ball out, hit the cricket ball and scored, and the referee whistled, 2+1!
