At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks changed their lineup again. Stoudeyer and Anderson are paired on the inside, and Gallinari, Redick, and Zhou Xuan on the outside, all five of whom can shoot.

Pekovic and Miller were rested, and the offense focused on the perimeter.

How to defend Pekovic was a key topic of discussion for the Heat, and Pekovic played well in the first half. In the second half, the opponent is likely to arrange a compression defense, or a special defense, and it is impossible to let Bosh defend all the time. Substitutions can disrupt their deployment.

Three inside players taking turns on the court can also ensure stamina. Only Stadamyre played a little more minutes. The Heat fielded the starting lineup, except for Bibby who replaced Chalmers. In the crucial game, the Big Three are all ready to play for more than 40 minutes to ensure their attacking power.

The Knicks strike first. Zhou Xuan and Stoudamire blocked, and Joel Anthony switched defenses. On the weak side, Zhou Xuan got a single opportunity, Stoudeyer cut in the air, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball near the baseline, dodged Wade's pursuit, and passed the ball to Stodameyer from close range at the position of the three-second zone.

The latter received the ball and jumped up to beat Joel Anthony for a layup. 58-55, Zhou Xuan's sixth assist.

Michael? Jordan took the ball to the opponent and took the initiative to find a way to defend, and Zhou Xuan had already estimated the essence. Many people say that he is making rapid progress, and he feels that the reason why he can see far is because he stands on the shoulders of giants.

Unlike the NBA in the 80s and 90s, with the popularity of game videos, videos can be found on the Internet, and all kinds of feints have been thoroughly studied.

The Heat attacked, James and Bosh blocked and dismantled, holding the ball and hitting Gallinari to rush inside, and the referee blew the whistle to block the foul.

What the Knicks are most afraid of is James breaking through and making fouls. He was fast and powerful, and once he accelerated, it was useless for Gallinari to follow him from the side. What online fans are talking about is that Zhou Xuan once defended James, but in fact, Zhou Xuan was about to knock out of internal injuries in a few minutes of confrontation, and he still had to change his teammates. Speaking of defense, it was actually James's lack of resolute offense during that period, plus James' shooting hand was not good. But today he was in great shape.

The throw-in was delivered, James took the ball at the top of the arc and singled Gallinari again. Gallinari is not slow to move, James dribbles under the crotch, receives the dribble behind and changes direction to the right, Gallinari can only follow the defense on the side, James reaches the low post, and throws the ball in the right hand. 58 to 57.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan passed the ball to Anderson, and he and Stoudmayre covered the air without the ball and continued the Hawks' offensive run. Matthews is in the left bottom corner, Gallinari is at 60 degrees, and Smalls forms a strong side. Zhou Xuan dodged Wade and got a singles opportunity.

He took the ball and turned to the frame, took a step and then paused, shook his right shoulder lightly, and turned sharply to the baseline. Joel Anthony followed this step, and Zhou Xuan then dribbled the ball under his right crotch and changed direction to his left hand. At 45 degrees, he stepped back and made a jumper, and hit a cricket kick to score. The action is done in one go. 60-57, 9th personal point.

Wade didn't chase the defense, otherwise he would have let Anderson go, which was a powerful three-point shot.

The Heat attacked, James took the ball at the top of the arc and directly singled out Gallinari. Gallinari blocked the interference in front of him, James took it to the free throw line, and Wade and Bosh cut away from the ball on the flanks to avoid Matthews. James sent a straight stopper. Wade sped past Anderson, rushed to the basket to avoid Smalls, and scored a backhand on his left side. 60 to 59.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan took the ball on the weak side, and at the same time, Stoudmeire cut in the middle, Wade went around the front defense, Zhou Xuan took the ball and retreated, holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand. Joel Anthony took a small step forward. Zhou Xuan immediately changed direction and broke through in the middle, and stepped back to shoot the ball in the face frame.

Wade went around the front and back and Xiao Ska, unable to defend Zhou Xuan, Joel Anthony did not keep up with the speed, and Zhou Xuan scored his 11th point, 62-59.

Zhang Reasonable said excitedly: "Zhou Xuan scored 4 points in a row, and he finally turned on the offensive mode." ”

Yu Jia said: "When the Knicks can shoot from medium to long range, they can open up space and create singles opportunities. Zhou Xuan is now going to stand up and score. ”

The Heat attacked, the Knicks contracted the joint defense, and the four people in the 122 formation shrank to the corner of the restricted area, leaving only Zhou Xuan to follow Bibi on the periphery and defend three points.

James broke through and was caught in the bag and distributed the ball to Wade, Matthews expanded the ball, Wade broke through and penetrated into the pile, and passed to Bosh. After Joel Anthony covered, the Knicks immediately made a substitution to defend Bibby and let Anthony go. His poor offensive prowess has put the Heat on the back foot.

After a couple of passes, Bosh missed a high jumper and the rebound was picked up by Anderson.

Anderson has a lot of energy, and Joel Anthony is averaging fewer rebounds per game than him and is not tall. Anderson has always been known as a softie, and he also wants to prove himself. The best way to do this is undoubtedly to beat the Heat!

In the Knicks positional battle, in order to strengthen the defense, Zhou Xuan's rhythm was not fast, and the offense was completed by two people, one person grabbed the rebounds in the front court, and the other three quickly returned to defense. Zhou Xuan and Gallinari can defend very quickly. This kind of rhythm will not see the data, but it is the best thing that Zhou Xuan has done, so that the Heat can't attack quickly.

"After three losses, the Knicks have realized that when the Big Three are on the floor together, their three-pointers are not enough and only playing fast break is effective," Barkley said. Wade and James can both run and make layups, and both of them are difficult to guard. But Zhou Xuan is playing steadily, and the Heat must settle for positional warfare. Wade and James' jump shots weren't unstoppable. ”

Smith said: "The Knicks play very simply, relying on stars to go it alone and block and pick-and-roll. ”

Zhou Xuan is still in the same way, passing to Anderson, running without the ball to the weak side to receive the ball, Wade bypassed the chase this time, and Joel Anthony continued to follow Stadamire. Zhou Xuan took the ball and sent it to a low position.

What about someone on the defensive? Zhou Xuan didn't believe that Xiao Si couldn't beat Joel Anthony, so why not let him play a few more if he didn't have assist data?

Xiao Si took a step with the ball, relied on explosiveness to quickly turn to the middle, and his right hand could not be thrown, he immediately jumped a second time and grabbed the rebound in the front court.

James rushed up from behind to wrap up, at this time, Zhou Xuan and Anderson covered without the ball, ran to 60 degrees on the right side, and Anderson went to the bottom corner.

Stadameyer didn't force the attack and half-turned and passed the ball to Gallinari. Bosh made up the defense, and Gallinari passed to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan received the ball in the open space, and Wade bypassed Anderson to block it. A three-pointer was scored, and Zhou Xuan scored his 14th personal point. 65 to 59.

The Heat attacked, and after a few passes, Wade forced a breakthrough layup and missed, and Stoudamire grabbed the backcourt rebound, and this time, Matthews rushed out of the ball to play a fast break.

Zhou Xuan took the ball to the front court, and James chased after him. Zhou Xuan also quickly ran to the front. Matthews took half and handed it to Gallinari, with Bosh blocking the breakaway. Gallinari gave Zhou Xuan again. Defending others is Bibby.

Stoudeyer and Wade also ran through the half court together, Zhou Xuan took the ball on the left side and glanced at the middle, holding the ball high as if he was about to pass the ball, but suddenly pulled out his hand.

Bibby's reaction was not slow, but his speed was a little slower, and he couldn't cover it when he jumped with all his strength, so he could only close his eyes, and Zhou Xuanqiu threw a shot, the arc was not high, and he popped into the frame. Two consecutive three-pointers for his 17th personal point. 68 to 59.

Spoelstra didn't expect Zhou Xuan to suddenly become intimidating, and hurriedly asked for a timeout. If Zhou Xuan opens, the situation is very bad for the Heat.

Yu Jia said: "Zhou Xuan has had many superhuman performances, and once he finds his touch, it is difficult to interrupt, and this timeout is very timely." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "The Knicks have the upper hand, and this win is 3-3." I didn't expect them to put on such a great performance. Hearing that the Knicks' locker room motto was 'never give up,' they didn't give up hope. ”

Yu Jia said: "Some media say that the Heat underestimate the enemy, but I don't think so. The Heat have never taken the Knicks lightly, even in Game 4. The Big Three's expressions were also indifferent, and they didn't see any relaxation. It's just that the Knicks are getting better and better. ”

Zhang Li said: "The Big Three are really not suitable, none of the three can shoot three-pointers, if it is Cameron? Anthony might be better off with another person. After a season of running-in, this problem has not been solved. James led the team himself, and played well with Miller and Jones, so Wade's role would be weakened. Zhou Xuan said in an interview that their positions overlapped, and 1+1 was less than 2, which was really to the point. ”

The Heat made a substitution, Bosh played center, James? Jones plays. James was on top of the No. 4 position.

In order to win, James is willing to go to the low post to be a blue-collar fighter, and he knows that this game cannot be lost, and if Pekovic plays, he must go against the White Bears. He is the only player who can resist people, defend five positions, and shoot the basketball. At this time, he must work hard, and when he arrives at the Knicks' home court, the advantage is not on the Heat's side.

James can imagine how much pressure the team will face once they are dragged into Game 7. He couldn't control himself from thinking about it now.

Jones immediately opened up space as soon as he got on, James broke through and split the ball, and Jones hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner on his first shot from the court. 68 to 62.

The Knicks attacked, the Heat defended, James stood in the low post, and Jones defended Anderson on the perimeter. After Zhou Xuan ran the position, James defended it, Zhou Xuan received the ball at the corner of the right penalty area, and made an unexpected move to James.

James followed sideways, didn't expect him to do this, and jumped slowly. Zhou Xuan drifted to 45 degrees, playing the board and shooting the basketball! 70 to 62.

Zhou Xuan's personal 19th point, he played the time difference, or grabbed James's habit of defending the breakthrough and did not like to jump. The ball is very elegant.

Zhang Li shouted: "Score 12 points in a row, Zhou Xuan's hand feels great!" ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Audience friends, now start praying that the Knicks win and return to the home court to create a miracle." ”
