In the final quarter, with the cheers of the home fans, the morale of the Knicks players was even stronger. Heat core James is sleepwalking again. He passed the ball to Wade again and again, and he made a cameo appearance as "point guard".

This season, James has put a lot of emphasis on efficiency, and he generally doesn't shoot the ball he doesn't have a grasp of. With Leonard, Matthews, and Parsons entangled in turn, it was difficult for him to get an easy shot.

Zhou Xuan relied on the cover to get rid of Wade, received a pass from Parsons, and grabbed a three-point shot on the right side.

Then, Matthews and Chandler got away from Chalmers with an off-ball screen and went to the bottom right corner. The Heat were jealous of Chandler, and the substitute Birdman Anderson did not chase out, and Zhou Xuan passed to the bottom corner and assisted Matthews to shoot a three-pointer.

Just after the opening, the difference widened to 20 points. The Heat asked for a timeout.

Yang Jian said: "The Knicks can be called the Heat's nemesis, and this time it was very easy to win, and James was a little dazed when he came off the court. ”

Su Qun smiled: "Or that the Knicks are James' nemesis." They have excellent swing men who can reduce James' efficiency. The Heat couldn't defend against Zhou Xuan very well. ”

Yang Jian said: "Under the organization of Zhou Xuan, Chandler scored 16 points and 10 rebounds today, and the game is not over yet, as long as he continues to play, he is likely to score 20+10." The Heat's lack of height on the interior makes them passive when defending big men. Hibbert can often get super data when he plays the Heat, usually Hibbert is at the level of 12+7, and he can become 20+10 when he plays the Heat. ”

Spoelstra made a substitution after a timeout and instructed: "Chris (Bosh), don't be restrained when you get on the court, forget your foul count, keep the basket, and I'll keep you on the court." LeBron, you have to step up and score, defend the other side of the basket when defending, pay attention to the change of the block. Dwyan's main attack after blocking and dismantling, if Zhou Xuan is misplaced, pass LeBron. Others are looking for opportunities on the outside to get out of the gap. ”

The Heat let Wade play point guard in a cameo role, Dunleavy and Jones waited on the perimeter to shoot three-pointers, and Bosh and James were responsible for blocking and pick-and-roll. This will not only strengthen the offense, but also stabilize the interior defense.

The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel. D'Antoni can't be a static attacking tactic. Bosh played only half a minute before the Heat relied on blocking to recover two points, and the Knicks made a substitution.

Bledsoe came on and replaced Ryan Anderson. Parsons took the No. 4 spot, and the Knicks switched to small-ball play. In order to be faster, Matthews had to sit on the bench.

As soon as the Knicks hit a counterattack, the Heat had a headache. Wade broke through to the inside, and as long as the shot was missed, there was bound to be a misplaced opportunity on the court. Zhou Xuan and Bredsoe hurried down together. Bosh couldn't stop after delaying, and he didn't dare to foul, so he was easily passed several times.

Bosh is fast on the inside, and there is still a gap between him and the guard.

Zhou Xuan received the ball and scored a layup. In the next round, Bledsoe was passed, and the latter beat Jones for a layup. In order to strengthen the defense, James did not dare to rush inside, and waited for an opportunity after passing the ball at the top of the arc. This defense can indeed be better, but on the offensive end, James has become a soy sauce player.

James made one shot in two minutes, and his three-point shot from the top of the arc was missed.

In order to attack more aggressively, the Knicks also replaced Chandler with Scola. Both interior lines were pulled to the outside to block and dismantle, and the defender could get a misplaced chance to go head-to-head with Bosh.

At 6 minutes and 16 seconds, Bosh, who was passed by Zhou Xuan, finally couldn't bear it anymore and pulled someone behind him to foul, which seemed a bit redundant. Just to block Zhou Xuan's layup, Bosh committed six "graduations".

The throw-in was issued, and Zhou Xuan took the ball to block and dismantle it, and then misplaced and burst into "Birdman" Anderson, causing a foul and going to the free throw line.

He stood at the free-throw line and the fans shouted "MVP". After hitting both free throws, he continued to expand the score.

At this point, everyone knew that the Heat couldn't win, and they were missing important pick-and-roll players. Bosh's stats have dropped with the Heat, but his offensive efficiency and shooting percentage are higher than when he was with the Raptors. He has an important tactical role.

Unsurprisingly, the Knicks kept the advantage until the end. Zhou Xuan was replaced two minutes early, and scored 32 points, 2 rebounds, 17 assists and 2 steals.

James had just two points and three assists in the final quarter. A quasi-triple-double with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.

After the game, online fans talked about James' late quarter performance.

In the middle of a tough battle, James' habitual disappearance is nothing new. This is a key game, and the direct competition between James and Zhou Xuan is also an important factor in the selection of MVP. In 2008, it was because the Lakers had the upper hand against the Hornets that Kobe Bryant beat Paul to win the MVP.

You can't just lose to the Knicks every time and award the MVP to James, right? Consolation prizes are not such a consolation.

Scoring in the final quarter is an important basis for judging the strength of a strong team. The Knicks are currently the league's top scorers in the final quarter, averaging 27 per game. 6 points. It was followed by the Spurs at 26. 4 points, Lakers 25. Ranked third with 6 points. Of course, the situation of the Lakers is more different, and the weak team often plays until the last minute, which is extremely intense. In this ranking, the Heat are only in ninth place.

In addition, in terms of individual scores. Durant averaged eight points per game in the fourth quarter of the season. 8 points and 49 shots. 8%, 40% three-point shooting, 90 free throw shooting. 1%, is the league's well-deserved fourth quarter gentleman.

At the top of the list is Laker Kobe Bryant, who averaged eight points per game in the fourth quarter. 2 points, shooting 46. 5% and 90 percent from the free-throw line. 8%。

Rounding out the list of players in fourth quarter scoring is Carmelo Anthony of the Nets, who averaged 7 per game in the final quarter of the season. 6 points and 48 from the field. 3%, including 40% three-point shooting. Anthony averaged 5 shots per game in the fourth quarter. 1 time, 1 snatch. 7 rebounds.

The Cavaliers' Irving was fourth, averaging six per game in the final quarter. 6 points and 43 shooting. 9% and 84 free throw percentage. 5%, but only 27 three-pointers. 1% hit rate.

At No. 5 on the list is the Clippers' super-bench Crawford, who averaged six per game in the final quarter. With 5 points, the Super Sixth Man averaged 10 minutes in the fourth quarter. In 7 minutes, he shot 92 from the free-throw line. 5%, 43% shooting, 36 three-pointers. 8%。

The Rockets' James Harden is No. 6 on the list, averaging six per game. 1 point, averaging only 8 per game in the final quarter. In the case of 6 minutes, you can get 2. Seven free throws, the highest percentage in the league. However, he didn't shoot well from the field, only 41. 5%, 31 three-pointers. 1%。

Seventh is James, 5. 9 points, 50 percent shooting, 40 percent three-point shooting, and 1. 9 rebounds and 1. 8 assists. In addition, James averaged 8 games per game in the final quarter. In 8 minutes, he shot just 73 from the free-throw line. 1%, free throws are also a big flaw for James at the moment.

It's obvious that James' late quarter performance wasn't as good as the first three quarters.

Zhou Xuan is only ranked 16th, averaging 5 per game. 1 point. However, he only played 7 minutes in the final quarter. 1 minute is the shortest time among celebrities. When playing against the underdogs, he often sat on the bench all the time. Zhou Xuan's last-quarter efficiency was the highest, shooting 92 free throws. 4% and 51 hits. 3%, 40% three-pointers. And he sent out 4. 1 assist.

At the time of the departure from New York, the Heat triumvirate did not chat. In fact, in the locker room, the atmosphere of the Heat is awkward. All three have had enough.

Wade used to threaten the team without good teammates, but now that good teammates have come, he failed to play in the 2006 Finals.

Known as a champion of super Jordan, James, who has no championship super Kobe, continues to be his uncrowned king, seeing that he is almost 30 years old, and he will not be able to win the championship as a core if he continues like this, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Bosh was equally depressed. Although the Raptors can't make the playoffs, at least he averages 20+10 per game and is the absolute core of the team, and now people say that he is a burden and can't be called a giant at all.

The Big Three are easy to fall in love with each other and difficult to break up. None of them are easy to trade, and the Heat don't want to become a rebuilding team all at once. Maybe if they lose again this season, they will be able to make up their minds.

The Knicks embarked on a wave of road trips, winning back-to-back victories over the Cavaliers.

Stoudemire's return didn't bring anything eye-catching to the Cavaliers, the defense was worse than Thompson's starter, and the Knicks won comfortably.

In the middle of the Knights, he wanted to sell Stadameyer, but no one cared about him. Everyone knows that Xiao Si is the representative of the garbage contract, which will not expire until 2015, and the only good news is that the Knicks signed him in the last year was partially guaranteed, and at that time they were also worried that Xiao Si's injury would affect the team.

In 2014, if the Cavaliers wanted to make a big trade, they could cut Smalls to free up salary space.

Now the Cavaliers can only continue to move towards the top pick. Owen is also about to be evaluated as a cancer, he will always be the main one on his own, and he will not do the work of organizing defenders in a stable manner. Dionvetes, the No. 2 picker in the draft, is only 193cm tall, and he also belongs to the type of indiscriminate shooting birds, and they can't guard any team.

The Cavaliers are likely to rise after several years of drafting. The bad news is that the Knicks traded that lotto show, and I don't know when it will be available.

The Knicks' away game against the Pistons was also an easy game.

The Pistons are also not defensive, and since trading Iverson with the Nuggets, the Pistons have never found a sense of defense, and the offense is also messy.

Only Monroe is the highlight, he is very comprehensive, low-post offense, mid-range shooting. Helplessly, one person can't change the status quo of the team. Drummond, known as "Zhuang Shen", is more appropriate to be called "Fast Break Finisher", with a free throw shooting rate of only 37%, compared to him, Howard is too accurate.

After the mid-term trade, the Pistons also acquired Calderon as the starting point guard, so they were completely defenseless.

With the win over the Pistons, the Knicks flew to the West again to play back-to-back games against the Utah Jazz.

This game is critical, but it's not for the Knicks, it's for the Lakers.

As the NBA enters the closing stage, the strong teams are performing well and have not yet entered the tragic game of the playoffs, so there are not many topics, and the biggest topic now is not who will become the champion this season, but whether the Lakers can catch the last train of the playoffs. Recently, the Lakers have been in good shape and are struggling to catch up, while the Warriors, Rockets, and Jazz are in decline, and I don't know how it will end.

The Jazz are the Lakers' main rivals and are currently eighth in the West. If they want to make sure they make the playoffs, they have to fight every game.

The Jazz coaching staff is under a lot of pressure, and only by securing results will they be able to keep the core of the team in the summer. Millsap, Jefferson, Mo Williams and others have all expired their contracts, and they have the option to join a strong team.
