Zhou Xuan scored his first two points of the game. Zhang Li said: "It's a beautiful life, and at this time the Knicks need someone to step up and play alone." ”

Yu Jia said: "Zhou Xuan's single-handedness against Bosh can ensure efficiency, and he should focus on him." The Heat relied on the misplaced singles of the stars to score. They blocked it again. ”

The Heat's goal is clear, pulling Pekovic out of the interior and leaving him unable to play to his physical advantage. Bosh and "Big Z" don't matter, they pull out the ball every game to shoot, and when the Raptors and Cavaliers were around, the two were also mainly high-post blockers, supplemented by low-post strong offense. Bosh, in particular, can ensure maximum efficiency when shooting in the high post or singles with the ball, and the difference in power in the low post is mediocre.

This time, "Big Z" blocked Gallinari, James broke through with the ball, jumped into the basket with the ball, and scored the basketball on the air lever under Pekovic's interference. 6 to 11.

"Magic" Johnson said: "This Knicks are not easy to play. The Heat have the same style of blocking and dismantling, they are all misplaced offenses, but compared to talent, James and Wade are obviously stronger than Zhou Xuan. ”

Van Gundy said: "At this time, Stoudamire needs to step up and be the core of the interior, if he can use explosiveness to blow up Bosh, the Knicks will not fall into passivity, and he will have to prevent breakouts on the defensive end." ”

Zhou Xuan knows the importance of opening the inside line, the weakness of the Heat is on the inside, blocking and dismantling the ball to Stadameyer in the middle, Wade did not resist Stadameyer, blocked it when receiving the ball, and then handed it to the "big Z", ran to Gallinari, and James quickly retracted the inside line and went around the front defense of Pekovic.

Stoadamire wanted to attract the defense to pass to Pekovic, but as soon as James blocked in front of him, he immediately gave up the idea, and it was a mistake if he was not careful. In the process of breaking through, the player's ability to share the ball is most reflected, either assists or mistakes. Zhou Xuan can pass a good ball, but Stadamire can only go on it by himself.

"Big Z" stood still in front of the reasonable collision zone, his hands raised high, waiting for Xiao Si to collide. Xiao Si opted for a one-handed throw and deflected the ball in the face of interference. James got stuck with Pekovic and relied on excellent bounce to get the backcourt rebound. Wade has already killed the out, and "The Flash" is still at an astonishing pace this year.

Gallinari turned to chase after him, and James took a step and threw it straight to the front from the basket. Wade rushed to the free throw line, threw Gallinari two steps away, half-turned to receive the basketball, and took the basketball in the air. 6 to 13.

This kind of passing that runs through the whole court can only be played by a superstar. The passer must pass accurately, and the receiver must be fast, jump high, and have a soft touch.

Yu Jia said: "The Heat's shooting percentage was very high in the opening period, and the Knicks' defense was a little bad. ”

Zhang Li said: "The Heat can often play offensive **** at a certain time, and several people are very hot at this time. James and Wade are unstoppable, and perhaps the Knicks should consider letting Pekovic go down to rest and play Anderson, who is more mobile and can shoot from the outside, or Evans, a defensive blue-collar worker. It's not appropriate to play the Heat's high-school forward tactics, and Big Z won't go to the basket to attack. ”

Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, Wade began to press in the front court, Zhou Xuan relied on the width of the court to open the distance, Matthews came back to answer, Zhou Xuan did not pass. If Arroyo presses again, he will make a mistake. He is the only one on the Knicks who can dribble well on the court.

He dribbled the ball under his crotch to the left side, then turned around, and finally passed Wade, and was chased in front of him by Wade before the three-point line, which was very physically exhausting, and it will become the key to winning or losing in the later stage.

Stadamire covered Wade, and Zhou Xuan dribbled to the right to face Bosh. He rushed to the bottom line, trying to make the biggest possible difference. Stoadeyere cut to the basket, Zhou Xuan saw Bosh retreat, and immediately took the ball and withdrew from the three-point line, and shot three points in the bottom corner, Wade jumped up from the side and blocked a little slower, but the bottom corner three points are not Zhou Xuan's strong point after all, hit iron.

Pekovic grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, leaned on the "big Z", and scored with one hand. 8 to 13.

"Magic" Johnson said: "The Knicks have an advantage on the inside, and the big Z defense is not good for Pekovic, so it is better to give the inside lob more." ”

Van Gundy said: "Pekovic is also a defensive hole, he's done a good job in his first season, and it will take time to become a star. Nowadays, this kind of heavyweight center in the low post is no longer popular, and most teams are in pursuit of speed. ”

Fortunately, the Heat are also slow, and they play half-court most of the time, with occasional opportunities for two stars to play fast break. The speed of "Big Z" is probably the slowest in the whole league. James took the ball on the right side, and Gallinari still put it some distance. James rarely shot this kind of ball, and passed to Wade, who got rid of Matthews by covering it. Wade received the ball and made a frontal pull-up jumper, the ball was deflected, and the opportunity was already out.

The Heat's weakness is that they don't have enough outside shots, and the Knicks are the opposite. One team of 32 defense, one team of 23 defense, the Knicks were still slightly at a disadvantage in the first quarter. James and Wade are too strong to play alone, and they can't defend themselves alone. Bosh has completely acted as a blue-collar worker, focusing on defending Stoudeyer.

The Knicks trailed 23-27 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitutes, and the Knicks failed to catch up with the score, but fell behind even more.

Douglas, Azubuuk, Fields, Anderson, and Mozgov played five players and were all substitutes. The Heat don't do that. The Big Three were able to get on the winning track and have more or less to do with the way coach Spoelstra arranged their play. He found that taking apart the Big Three and using them was sometimes more powerful than putting them together.

With 3:26 left before the end of the first quarter, Wade and Bosh went off the court together.

James himself played with the bench for a while, and his teammate on the court was Eric? Dampier, Mario? Chalmers, James? Jones and Juvan? Howard. Dampier didn't have any other skills, so he tried his best to deal with Pekovic better than the big Z defense, relying on the joint defense system, the Heat defense line was not blown up.

At the beginning of the second quarter, James rested, Wade and Bosh returned to the court, leading the bench to attack, and Anderson and Mozgov struggled to block and dismantle.

The biggest advantage of this arrangement is that each giant will be given a certain degree of space to perform individually, and at the end of the day, they will be able to work together to win the game. It's hard to get the balance right, and they've all been successful in their respective positions over the years, and it's not easy to break the habit.

In the past few seasons, as soon as Wade leaves, the Heat will immediately be in trouble, and the Cavaliers will not be able to play well without James. Not anymore, every big man can get a certain amount of rest and watch their teammates play a good game.

Van Gundy also spotted this, saying: "Spoelster has done a very good job of scheduling his players' minutes and that's a big reason for their 10-game winning streak. It not only brings out the strongest strength of the star, but also conserves physical strength. Bosh likes to rest before the end of the first quarter, a habit he has since developed in Toronto. But for Wade, it's something new. At the same time, having both of them rest in the first quarter can ensure that the Heat have plenty of firepower in the second quarter. This arrangement works well. ”

Then James returned, and Wade and Bosh went off the court together again. James brings his own bench and can play as much as he did when he was with the Cavaliers.

Fields and Azubuuk couldn't limit James no matter who defended alone, and they were out of position on the periphery of a pack, and Jones and Arroyo both shot three-pointers. Arroyo averaged less than five points per game and made two three-pointers in the first quarter and a half.

With the Knicks trailing by as many as 15 points at 30-45, D'Antoni called a timeout. He wanted the benches to top up a little bit, and Fields and Anderson had done well before. But there is a premise that someone delivers the shells. Zhou Xuan won't be able to do it as soon as he gets off the stage. Douglas made a wave of outside shots, and after breaking through, he didn't know how to divide the ball, and he was very active in helping Wade when defending, but he missed his own people.

D'Antoni was determined to send Douglas away as soon as possible in an effort to trade Miller back, otherwise the Knicks would not be able to find a second playmaker. Douglas' poor shot selection will affect the whole team. After Zhou Xuan came on the court, Douglas couldn't share the pressure for him, at most, he controlled the ball over half the court, gave the ball to Zhou Xuan and ran away, and became a scoring guard.

Beverley got short playing time and played a mess, he wanted to perform in front of the Heat so much that he lost his normal heart.

As soon as Zhou Xuan got the ball, there were two people to cover the defense, and Gallinari and Stoudeyer became the main attack points. Zhou Xuan didn't score in this quarter, and only had 4 points and 6 assists in the half. The Knicks trailed by 13 points at 47-60.

In the second half, Spoelster's approach was similar to that of the first half, with 2 minutes and 46 seconds left in the third quarter, Wade and Bosh went off the court together, and James was alone; At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James went off the court.

As long as one superstar is on the floor, they can lead the offense, and everyone else will defend with all their might. The Heat's rotation is very good, and the veterans are experienced and know what to do in the joint defense system. The Knicks often need to pass the ball more than twice before they can make a shot. Zhou Xuan, as the initiator of the offense, did not have many assists in the third quarter.

D'Antoni gradually contradicted, let Pekovic play, the Heat kept blocking and dismantling, whether it was Wade or James, Pekovic couldn't prevent it, he could only stand under the basket, and his role was too single. Let Anderson play, it is also easy to be passed, and he can't grab the rebound. There was no way that the Knicks tried a small-ball tactic and let Gallinari play the No. 4 position, so that the Knicks were not high enough, and the Heat could also score after receiving the ball and shooting after two interior blocks.

In the fourth quarter, the situation did not change, Zhou Xuan knew that the weakness of the Heat was in the two bottom corners, whether it was Dampier or Big Z, the speed was very slow. But the Heat also have a solution, they strictly guard against the side where Zhou Xuan is located, no matter which position receives the ball, they will wrap him and release the other side. If you want to pass the ball, you need at least one transfer. Passing the ball directly to the other side is prone to mistakes, and Zhou Xuan can't do it when his line of sight is blocked.

Zhou Xuan was strictly guarded, and the data was not very good. In the fourth quarter, James hit a three-point shot in the middle, and then assisted Arroyo to shoot a three-pointer, and then he broke through to create 2+1 and seal the win.

91 to 106. The Knicks lost at home.
