The Heat attacked, James went to the side to ask for the ball, and then dodged Matthews by blocking and dismantling.

This may seem clever, but it's actually an evasion. James can't beat people who are shorter than himself, weak in strength, and small in fame, so he can't hide his embarrassment at all.

Stadamire switched to James, his physique is not weak, and he is not afraid of confrontation. James turned around and took a step towards the baseline, and Matthews stepped forward to trap and put Dampier high in the air.

James moved the ball out of the air, Dampier gave Wade no ball cover on the perimeter, and was cleared again, and Stodameyer went around the ball to wrap Wade with Redick. Wade distributed the ball to Chalmers on the perimeter, who missed the jump shot under Zhou Xuan's interference, and the rebound was picked up by Stadameyer.

The Knicks counterattacked, Zhou Xuan took the ball in the midfield, the crotch dribble changed direction to break through, Chalmers chased the defense, Zhou Xuan took the half court, continued to dribble under the crotch and retreated, and Anderson broke through the middle after blocking and dismantling.

Mike Miller changed defenses, Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up, the first step to the right, the second step to the left, and made a serpentine breakthrough that Ginobili is good at, also called the "European step" past Miller, who was slower to move laterally, jumped high but did not shoot, but half-turned and passed the ball to the periphery.

He felt the wind behind him, and he heard Matthews' scream, and he knew that James rushed up to seal it. With the sound, he passed the ball to the left three-point line, Wade followed Redick on the right, Miller couldn't switch defenses, and Matthews made a jumper to score.

Zhou Xuan's 13th assist, 68-51.

Spoelstra called a timeout, the margin had widened to 17 points, and the Knicks opened up from the outside. And by defending first and then offensively, they took advantage of the Heat's weakness of having few shooting points.

"I think the Knicks have found a way to defend the Heat, and that's to guard three-pointers," Barkley said. Only James' three-point shooting of the Big Three is okay. When they play together, there is not enough firepower on the outside, and the opponent is easy to defend. ”

"Miller is three-pointed, but he's a little bit slow, and I thought I could consider letting Jones play for a while," Smith said. ”

The Heat took a timeout and switched to Jones. It's just that Dampier has weaknesses on the inside, and their perimeter shooting is still not very good. Joel Anthony is also not suitable for substitution, both are interior players with no offensive ability. There's also Haslem available, he's too short to be a big man to defend against inside attacks.

The Knicks replaced Redick and replaced Gallinari to increase the height of the court. Zhou Xuan controlled the ball on the perimeter, and the three pitchers kept running through the block, dislocation, looking for opportunities. Zhou Xuan added three assists, Gallinari hit two in a row, and Anderson scored a three-pointer.

At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Xuan had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 16 assists. 88-70, the Knicks led by 18 points. The Knicks' offense was fully open.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhou Xuan went off the court, and Miller played as a point guard, partnering with Redick and Stephenson on the outside. Fields, who was originally the focus of the team's training, has no chance to play. Despite the big lead, the Knicks didn't dare to relax. Stephenson came on the court to rely on his hard work to entangle James, and his characteristics are similar to those of Matthews, with strong power and good at defending breakaways.

The Heat's Big Three played together and cooperated very well, and after three minutes, the difference narrowed to 12 points.

Zhou Xuan returned to the court, along with Pekovic and Stadamire. There are people on the outside, in the low post, who are attacking. To increase the firepower beyond the three-point line. The Heat did not let Dampier or Joel Anthony play, but sent Miller to play the No. 4 position, Bosh center, and James, Wade, and Chalmers on the periphery.

The Knicks gave the top of the arc to Matthews, Gallinari was in the low post, and the two were responsible for limiting James' breakout. Anderson defends Bosh on the perimeter, and if Miller is ready to shoot by blocking and picking, he will have to interfere at any time.

James didn't shoot accurately today, and after making 0 of 4 three-pointers, he didn't try again, and he was severely guarded and caught up in the inside, so he could only pass the ball to the perimeter.

After the block, he broke through Matthews' chase defense, and James turned back and crossed to Bosh in the middle. After the breakthrough, he couldn't observe what was going on in his head, Zhou Xuan let go of Chalmers and went to block the passing route, and successfully broke the ball.

Bosh was thrown away, and Zhou Xuan scored on the basketball. 10th personal point, three steals. 94 to 80.

The Heat played a playful forward tactic, James received the ball at the top of the arc, dribbled a step and passed to Wade, Wade got rid of Zhou Xuan by blocking and dismantling, forced to break through to the right baseline and jumped up to shoot the basketball while running. 94 to 82.

Wade then helped to cut off Stadamire's ball and passed Chalmers to score a fast-break ball. 94 to 84.

The Knicks asked for a timeout.

Guest Reggie? Miller said: "The Heat have played two in a row, and it depends on Wade at the critical moment. ”

Smith said: "James often disappears at critical moments, and a lot of people criticize him for that, do you think that criticism is too much for James, or is it very reasonable? He hadn't scored so far in the fourth quarter. ”

Miller said: "Personally, I think it makes a lot of sense, James' ability to turn the tide in crunch time is really overrated. But that problem isn't hard to solve, James can be the leader of this team for 40 minutes, but when the game gets to the bottom of the game, the Heat are Wade's team. In my opinion, James is the playmaker of the team, and I really believe that James can dominate the court most of the time, but in the crucial moments, you still have to believe in Wade, Wade is like an assassin, and the last ball I want to get into Wade's hands. Maybe I'm talking about Charles next to me? Sir Buckley disagreed. ”

Miller has been commenting for a while, and he can't go on and on, leaving Barkley to the side.

Barkley smiled: "What I am most concerned about now is whether Zhou Xuan's assists can go up to 20 again, only he can often play like this." Today he scored less, but the Knicks played better, and it seems that his teammates really can't do without him, even if Andre? Miller is also far from him. ”

Smith asked Miller, "Do you think the Heat are in a lot like when you first came to the Pacers in the '90s?" Did the Pacers have Chuck at that time? Payson. Who do you think was the boss of the team at that time? ”

"When I first went to the Pacers, he had just won the Rookie of the Year award, and it's not like he's been with the team for five or six years and has built a lot of prestige," Miller said. He just got into the league a year before me. Until Payson is not traded, our team is faced with a double choice. Just like people look at Miami right now, it's clear that James hasn't shown his shooting ability and ball handling ability in crunch time. ”

James did a thankless job, and if he didn't leave, the Cavaliers would definitely use him as the core to actively bring in helpers, such as keeping Yao Ming or finding a strongman in the free market. Now that it's the Heat, James has received the most criticism since joining the NBA. Even if he wins six championships in the future, no one will say that he will surpass Jordan because he is an evader.

On the sidelines, after analyzing the opponent's intentions, D'Antoni said: "Zhou, you attack with the ball for a while, Ryan and Amare double cover to create shooting opportunities for him, and then Amare cuts into the air, and Ryan looks for opportunities in the middle. If you can't shoot, you can pass the ball at the right time, and Danilo can run to the baseline and attack in a misplaced position. Wesley went to the outside and waited for his chance, stopped running, and pulled out space. ”

This is equivalent to three people covering Zhou Xuan and helping him catch the ball to the greatest extent. Today, Zhou Xuan closed the shot, and so far he has only shot 7 balls and scored 10 points. His attack power is not yet fully displayed.

Before going on the field, D'Antoni stopped Zhou Xuan and said, "The team needs you to take over the game now." ”

"I won't let you down." Zhou Xuan smiled.

The game resumes.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan held the ball and waved his hand at his teammates, Anderson came up for the first block, and James changed defenses. Zhou Xuan held the ball on the left side, held the ball in his right hand, and approached with his left hand to make a "worship Buddha". Wade didn't chase it, he chased Zhou Xuan with the two superstars, and he would let Anderson go.

Zhou Xuan paused, Stadameyer made a second block, and Zhou Xuan immediately changed his yearning to break through the bottom line. Mike Miller switches defenses. Zhou Xuan paused his back to protect the ball, leaned on Miller and turned his head to the left while leaning on him, and turned to the bottom line with lightning speed, and succeeded.

Bosh made up again. Zhou Xuan's offense was blocked by four people, he jumped up with the ball in his right hand, his body flew to the rebound, bypassed Bosh, sent the ball to the right side with a low hand with his left hand, and Gallinari cut the ball into a one-handed cricket. 96-84, Zhou Xuan's 17th personal assist.

The Heat attacked, James was blocked at the top of the arc, or passed to Wade, Zhou Xuan was close, and Bosh pulled out to cover. At this point, Anderson must defend himself or Wade will get rid of it and get the open spot. Zhou Xuan withdrew to bypass the defense, rushed directly to Miller in the bottom corner of the right side, and shouted "Daniro".

Gallinari's sense of help defense and position change has soared this year, because Zhou Xuan will give him a cue when he is on the court, and he points to the basket in the middle of the run, and he immediately shrinks to the basket, at which point Wade also dribbles past Anderson and rushes to the baseline.

Suddenly, a big man stood in the way, and Wade knew that the success rate of the breakthrough layup was not high, and he transferred it to Miller in a large area. Zhou Xuan jumped up while running, touched the basketball with one hand with his right hand and flicked it back to his head, and Matthews grabbed the basketball. Zhou Xuan flew out of the bottom line by inertia, and a fish jumped forward to offset the momentum and hit the reporter on the bottom line.

Yang Jian shouted: "This ball is so beautiful, Zhou Xuan fell to the ground very beautifully, this should be his fourth steal in this game, it's really hard." ”

Su Qun said: "Matthews didn't attack quickly after receiving the ball, and passed to Gallinari to protect the basketball. Zhou Xuan got up, nothing happened, and then he wanted the ball to counterattack, iron man! ”

Barkley exclaimed: "Zhou Xuan showed people his tough side, wonderful defense. ”

"He's really aggressive, he's fast, he's got accurate anticipation, and I don't think the physique on the perimeter is the most important thing, he has everything to be a super defensive player," Reggie Miller said. ”

Miller was a well-known defender at the No. 2 position, but his defense was not a leaky spoon, and he did a very good job of defending against breakouts, and lateral speed and flexibility were the keys to outside defense.

Zhou Xuan went to the front court and passed to Anderson, who gave it to Gallinari in the low post, Zhou Xuan covered from the middle and Stadameyer without the ball, ran to the bottom right corner, and Matthews ran to the other side.

Gallinari took a step and handed it to Zhou Xuan who ran to the bottom line at close range, and blocked James by the way, Zhou Xuan stopped the jump shot when he received the ball, and the ball hollowed into the net.

98 to 84. Zhou Xuan scored his 12th point.
