Bosh won the jump ball, and the Heat attacked first.

Zhou Xuan kept up with Wade, which is one of the reasons why Miller came on the court, to help Zhou Xuan control the ball, Zhou Xuan strengthened the defense of Wade's breakthrough, if Wade singled Redick and did not rely on blocking and dismantling to ensure efficiency, the game would not be easy to play.

The ball was still in James' hands first, and the high post and Bosh blocked and dismantled, and Gallinari switched defenses. James leaned on Gallinari to turn and break down to the right, and Stadamire let go of Joel Anthony and wrapped him up in the opening frame. James passes the ball to the perimeter and Wade and Joel Anthony take the ball without the ball on the side.

Matthews switched up and let Bosh go. Wade passed the ball to Bosh, Zhou Xuan blocked in front of him again, and Bosh relied on his height advantage to hit a dry pull-out jumper. 0 to 2.

Having a mid-range interior can help the team's tactics, and Bosh is such a person, even if the stats drop, it is also crucial. The big man jumps when he catches the ball, and Zhou Xuan has nothing to do, he can't cover a person with a height of 211CM.

The Knicks attacked, Miller dribbled to the front court to Gallinari on the right side, and Zhou Xuan cut without the ball in the middle and ran to the bottom corner of the right side. Gallinari sent the ball over.

The Hawks offense has become a killer feature for the Knicks, and it is easy to form misplaced opportunities, especially on the weak side. Zhou Xuan took the ball and faced James, turned to face the frame.

Stadameyer stood still in the middle, and Wade, who was attracted, did not dare to step forward to chase after him.

Zhou Xuan continued to dribble under his crotch, and the right side made a "herewego!" "Against James, he still performs, as long as he throws in, it's very morale-boosting.

The players on both sides have a tacit understanding to pull away and watch the core heads-up.

Zhou Xuan moved to 45 degrees after dribbling the ball under his crotch six times in a row, with a posture of "I must pass you", holding the ball in his right hand and approaching with his left hand. James lowered his center of gravity and did not move. Zhou Xuan quickly pulled the ball up and shot quickly, James reached out and interfered slowly, and the ball hit the board. 2 to 2.

James was unanimously selected to the first team of the defensive team this year, he is a big gate on the outside defense, and he is also a big gate on the inside defense, and he is proficient in both help defense and single defense, and is expected to become another non-interior best defensive player after Artest. Many questioned his crab step in offense, and he was a hairy crab on the defensive end.

But Zhou Xuan found that James's defense is not without weaknesses, there is one thing that he is very similar to Zhou Xuan, he doesn't like to jump very much in defense, so he rarely eats and shakes, but he doesn't like to jump and is easy to be **** by the opponent. Of course, this is relatively reasonable, and people who are easy to shake up are really bad at defense. This point was caught by Zhou Xuan, and after shaking it a few times, he jumped directly, and James just stretched out his hand.

The Heat attacked, and it was Matthews who defended James, and Zhou Xuan went to talk to Wade, which made James unable to return one on Zhou Xuan's head.

James and Bosh blocked and cooperated, but Gallinari blocked the breakthrough route, and Matthews also came up from behind to pack and let Bosh go.

James turned to Bosh, and Zhou Xuan rushed up from the side, blocking in front of Bosh and letting Wade go. The Knicks did the same in the first two games, and it was better to let Wade shoot a three-pointer on the outside than to let him break through. At this point, Matthews switched to Wade and Gallinari contracted. Bosh ignored Zhou Xuan and made a jump shot, but he couldn't cover it, and the ball went in again. 2 to 4.

The Knicks attacked, Zhou Xuan broke through with the ball, both inside lines were pulled to the perimeter cover, Zhou Xuan passed to Gallinari, and then ran to the bottom line on the right side of the ball with Xiao Si without the ball.

James followed Gallinari and had no time to take care of Zhou Xuan, so he turned into Joel Anthony to change defense, Zhou Xuan received the ball and played a single frame, took the ball and retreated to open the distance.

At the same time, Miller cut into the inside line, Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch and moved a step sideways with his left hand, and the ball was hoisted to Miller in the middle, and then ran to the bottom right corner.

Miller received the ball and relied on Chalmers' back to hit it, and Joel Anthony returned to the inside to block and let Zhou Xuan go. Miller half-turned and the Clippers passed to the bottom corner. The ball passed a little big, Zhou Xuan took a look after receiving the ball, and James rushed up to make up for it. Zhou Xuan took advantage of the situation to move the ball horizontally to Gallinari, and Wade made up for it.

The rotation was done quickly, but Gallinari stopped passing, and he had a height advantage, scoring a 60-degree pull-up jumper on the right side. 5 to 4.

The Heat attacked, and Stoudeyere was still arranged to deal with Joel Anthony, who had no offensive power. James took the ball on the periphery, accelerated one step and singled out Matthews, without relying on the block. Once he rushes up, it is difficult to be guarded, even if there is someone on the side, Matthews followed, James jumped to the basket on the right side, jumped up with the ball, made a feint after staying in the air, and forced a shot to hit the board. 5 to 6.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhou Xuan and Stoudamire broke through to the left and dodged Wade. The Knicks completely withdrew the interior, and only Miller cut in to play the low post, which made it difficult for the Heat.

If Joel Anthony doesn't guard against the out, the defense Miller is misplaced. Out of the way to prevent blocking and dismantling, it is also misplaced for Zhou Xuan. The characteristics of the Hawks' offensive off-ball movement were vividly played by the Knicks.

D'Antoni was very bold in his hiring. He didn't get enough of what he achieved with the Suns. During his tenure, how to defend Nash became an unsolvable problem for opponents. Somehow, however, D'Antoni's assessment was misinterpreted from "he shocked the league" to "he took over a team with 29 wins but never led them to the championship".

In the first three seasons of D'Antoni and Nash's partnership, the Suns led the league in offensive efficiency, and now the most efficient team has become the Knicks.

Joel Anthony came out and blocked Zhou Xuan's breakthrough route. Zhou Xuan dribbled back under his crotch to widen the distance and gave Miller to the empty cut.

Miller received the ball with his back and paused slightly, turned sharply to the baseline, and instantly explosive compared to the younger guard, Chalmers followed him, but Miller was strong, rushed into the basket in a confrontational situation, jumped up, and scored a cricket ball with his right hand. 7 to 6.

After consulting with the two assistant coaches, D'Antoni decided to surprise the win and let Miller take the lead. Miller had an amazing 50+ performance last season, shooting only one three-pointer, and most of the goals were scored on the back, and he had an advantage against Chalmers.

The Heat passed the ball several times, Wade missed the jumper, the Knicks quickly counterattacked, and Zhou Xuan passed to Miller. The latter's single fast break faced Chalmers again, leaned on it and then turned and broke through from the left side to the baseline, and when he was close to the basket, he attracted James to help defend and pass back to the middle.

Gallinari catches the ball and makes a layup and scores a cricket ball with Bosh interference. 9 to 6.

After moving to the Knicks, Miller averaged just 8 per game. 3 points, but this does not mean that he has no offensive ability, he and Zhou Xuan control the ball alone, and the playing style of one person is full of power.

A minute later, Zhou Xuan received the ball and passed to the middle without stopping, assisting Xiao Si to score a layup. Heat Bosh and James each missed a shot, and the margin widened.

Only Chalmers is a three-point shooter, obviously unable to open the gap, and James' three-point trial shot is still inaccurate. Heading into the playoffs, his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 28. 9%。

In order to strengthen the offense, the Heat sent Mike early? Miller, adding a three-point shooting point. Bosh stepped up to the center of the field. The Knicks also replaced Pekovic and Redick, and replaced Gallinari and Miller. Someone attacked in the low post and switched to a pitcher. Always keep the lineup in one playmaker, multiple pitchers.

The Knicks led by six points at 29-23 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Knicks came off the bench, Pekovic and Anderson on the inside, and Matthews, Redick and Miller on the outside. The Heat James rested, Wade and Bosh came off the bench, and the other three were Bibby, Mike Miller, and Dampier.

Wade was responsible for defending Miller, Dampier was in the low post against Pekovic, and the Heat defended the Knicks' two scoring points. The Knicks' offense didn't go so well. And the Heat have Wade to attack with the ball, and Matthews can't completely limit it. Mike Miller also relied on his height advantage to shoot a three-pointer in front of Redick. Bosh also has an advantage against Anderson. The Heat went on an 8-2 run to catch up with the score.

After that, Dampier grabbed the rebound in the front court, made a foul on the second offense, and made one of two free throws to overtake the score.

D'Antoni didn't call a timeout or make a substitution, and he trusted Miller's experience. Miller didn't let him down, slowing down the tempo and stabilizing the situation. The Knicks continued the Hawks offense, with Redick and Matthews becoming the main points of attack, making two shots.

At 6 minutes, the official timeout was reached. The Knicks trailed by one point at 47-48. Although they were behind, they used up the stamina of the two giants with their substitutes.

Zhou Xuan played with Matthews on the outside, while Miller and Redick rested. Small forward on Gallinari, inside Pekovic and Stoudamire.

There are still three pitchers on the outside, and there are also people who attack in the low post. This is the most balanced lineup that the Knicks coaching staff thinks can be inside and out. At this time, the Platoon of the Heat was tested. Replacing Dampier made it difficult to defend Pekovic. If you don't change, it is difficult to prevent a breakthrough after blocking and dismantling.

The Heat replaced Joel Anthony, who also had no offensive power, and Big Z didn't get playing time, he was too slow. Spoelstra was worried that he wouldn't be able to defend against the Knicks' fast break.

In order to fight for defense, Zhou Xuan lowered the pace of the attack and looked for misplaced opportunities in the positional battle. Pekovic was on the floor, and he attacked the low post, and everyone on the perimeter could save energy, and if the Heat compressed the defense, they would shoot the ball on the perimeter.

In training, Pekovic practiced low-post tactics in addition to strong attacks, passing the ball to the bottom corner and side at 60 degrees, and he only went to the right side, rarely to the left, and developed a habit. At this point, the Knicks have become a combination of inside and outside, a triangle offense. Tactics are abundant.

In the second half, James led Jones, Miller, Bibby and the Knicks around. The big man on the inside line only left Bosh alone, and the result of this arrangement was that no one could prevent anyone.

Bosh was abused by Pekovic in the low post. The Knicks couldn't defend James well, and they couldn't wrap it, so he gave three points to the outside as soon as he caught it, and Jones and Bibby both scored a goal. Fortunately, their defense is not very good, and the game will not be too long, otherwise the Knicks really can't do anything with James.

This James exploded, scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the half, and looked like he wanted a big triple-double. Zhou Xuan's data is not particularly good. 7 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.

It is not easy to add assists to let players hold the ball in the low post, and Zhou Xuan's assists are all for the outside and Stoudmaire.

The Knicks led by one point at 56-55.

At halftime, Barkley said: "The score didn't pull away, and Zhou Xuan didn't score much. The Heat has a way to limit him, but they don't do well under the basket, the Heat has poor interior strength, and the weakness can't be made up for at all. ”

Smith smiled: "If the Knicks win again, the Heat will probably be unlucky." I think they will be more desperate in the second half. ”
