The fierce physical confrontation and the wonderful individual performances of the stars finally made the atmosphere in the American Airlines Center arena gradually warm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Flash hit a three-pointer to put the home team in the final quarter of the game to take the lead. The Knicks, who were preparing to fight back, were attacked by veteran point guard Miller, and the young Chinese teenager led the defenders to run without the ball.
After a series of off-ball screens from teammates, Sun Yi successfully reached the waist of the opponent's penalty area. As soon as he stood in position and stretched out his right arm to ask for the ball, the pursuer behind him was already in place.
Wade, who has an absolute advantage in power, pushes the Knicks' No. 8 player outward. Although he was a little unsteady on his feet after being hit by his opponent, Sun Yi gritted his teeth and motioned for Miller to drop the ball.
The huge palm grabbed the pass of his teammates directly in the air, and the momentum exuded by the Chinese teenager with the ball in his hand changed, and even the famous Flash did not dare to act rashly, so he could only keep the distance between the two within a controllable range.
The direct confrontation between the core players of the two teams does not exist in the tactics of more bullying and less packing. Unless one side blows up the opponent, the other side will have no choice but to call for teammates to come to help.
With Wade's defensive ability, there is no guard in the league who can make him helpless, not even Kobe.
Sun Yi, who was holding the ball with his back, made two half-turns with his right foot as the axis and his left foot in a row. The arm behind him proved that the opponent did not lose his position at all.
In order to hit this crucial shot, the young Chinese guy chose the most unexpected way to shoot, directly retreating, turning and backing to shoot a jumper.
Wade had already judged the opponent's attack, but such a resolute shot was still a bit unexpected for him. At the same time as the opponent retreated and turned, the Flash, who reacted, immediately stepped forward and prepared to jump to block.
Sun Yi's retreat distance is very long, and it even looks a bit like a jump. The Knicks, who took advantage of this step to widen the distance slightly, immediately took off into the air.
Wade jumped up the moment his opponent jumped, and he was confident in his bouncing speed, and no one could dodge the blow he was poigning to strike.
Sun Yi, who rose from the ground, had already seen Wade's huge cheeks. From parallel to top-down, the Flash has a smug smile on his face, as if to say, boy, you can't run away.
But when Wade was out of castration in the air and his body began to fall, the Knicks' No. 8 was still hanging high in the sky. ! Really perverted, are you playing ball on Aladdin's flying carpet?
The Heat's core complained that it couldn't stop the opponent from hitting the shot steadily.
Swish!
The extremely ornamental shooting action makes the home team fans forget the score on the court for a while. They let out exclamations of amazement and kept expressing their surprise.
Judging from Sun Yi's turning and leaning back action alone, even Jordan at his peak couldn't make such an elegant feeling. With a height of 1.96 meters and an extra-long arm span, coupled with an extremely long stay time in the air, Wade, who is attacking with all his strength, has no way to form an effective interference.
Due to his best efforts, Sun Yi, who finished the shooting action, lost his center of gravity and sat on the floor watching the ball drill into the center of the net. Suddenly, a big hand appeared in his sight, and the smiling old Miller pulled up the little brother in the team at the first time, and immediately threw himself into a new round of defense.
Bang bang bang ......!
The Flash, who dribbles at the top of the arc, constantly observes his teammates' movements. After discovering that there was no better choice, he directly burst out and accelerated to get rid of the entanglement of the Chinese guy.
In the face of defenders who are not inferior to his own speed, Wade used his strong body to lean against the opponent, even if he could not completely get rid of Sun Yi, the opponent could not make effective defensive moves at all.
The No. 8 player of the Knicks, who was suppressed by the power of the Flash, still has no intention of giving up defense. He was smashing backwards while consciously forcing his opponent towards McDyce, an old center who was ready to help defend.
As the youngest Finals MVP winner in NBA history, Wade can't see the opponent's defensive intentions. With his eyes on the basket, he has been looking for his teammates with his spare eyes.
As McDyes' went to help defend the position, Joel under the basket. Anthony by Al. Harrington took over, and Beasley, who was on the fire, met Chandler's switch, with Miller Sr. standing in Chandholmes and Daquian. Cook, ready to keep an eye on one of them at any time.
The Knicks' extremely efficient rotation position was clearly seen by Wade. He didn't have time to lament the amazing progress of his opponent, and the top priority was how to choose?
The Flash, who was about to fall into the front and back of the opponent, passed the ball to Beasley again. This '08 list eye show took a step sideways to catch the ball, and in the face of the defense that Chandler had already put on his face, he hit this mid-range shot without blushing and heartbeat.
At this moment, Be-Easy seems to be possessed by the talented player who couldn't be defended in high school and college.
Beasley hit this extremely difficult shot, Sun Yi was not surprised in his heart, he had a confrontation experience as early as high school, and knew that the other party had this strength. To the surprise of the Chinese guy, Wade, who had just been scored by himself, did not choose to fight back by himself.
Looking at the core Heat player who high-fived and celebrated with his teammates, Sun Yi's face showed a thoughtful look. The true meaning of leadership is to lead the team to continuous wins. Perhaps, the words of old Miller were right. Because, Wade is doing just that.
Swish!
Facing the defense of the Heat's number one star, the Knicks' No. 8 once again used his blue-out-blue turn-back to lean back. Against a superstar of Wade's level, young players will generally play inaccurately due to excessive nervousness or excitement. There are also some players who, the more they face a strong opponent, the easier it is to burst out of the huge potential hidden in their bodies.
Obviously, Sun Yi is the latter.
Being beaten twice in a row by the opponent in the same way did not make the Heat core lose its mind. Wade once again used the breakaway to attract the opponent's defense, and immediately distributed the ball to Moneymos, who was outside the three-point line, and the alert old Miller immediately pounced. Don't throw, pass. Dai Quian. Cook, Chandler on top. Still didn't throw, and transferred the ball again.
After all, passing the ball is much faster than running, and when Beasley received the ball, Al. Harrington was still on his way.
Swish!
After hitting this three-pointer, Be-Easy has already scored as many as 31 points in this game.
Coach Woy, who couldn't sit still in the coach's seat, quickly got up and walked to the mustache to give advice. The mustache listened to the other man's advice as he swept his eyes to the bench.
Sheldon. Williams on, Al. Harrington.
The Knicks' substitution adjustment is really a bit unexpected.
Duke University All-American Defensive Player, who was selected by the Hawks with the fifth pick in '06, has not been as successful in the NBA as he has been in the past two years. Once the two-year guaranteed contract has passed, no team is willing to execute Sheldon. Team option in Williams' contract.
The former Duke superstar who became a free agent this summer had to join the Knicks with a base salary. Even on this young team, many basketball pundits are not optimistic about Sheldon. Williams' outlook for the new season. He's seen more as a role player in garbage time, full of role players.
Unexpectedly, at such a fateful moment, the away team that was behind the score was replaced by him.
Williams, who played 2 minutes before, didn't expect that he would have a chance to play again. Moreover, the task given to him by the coach is so important. Such a huge mental motivation is full of motivation for the long-lost former All-American Defensive Player.
As I said before, Sheldon. Williams' development in the NBA is not satisfactory, mainly because he is only 2.04 meters tall as a major power forward. But this time, the 2.06-meter Beasley is not much taller than him.
If the Heat can be suppressed, then in the next game, the Flash will become a Maverick, without the fire support of his teammates, he can only choose more individual singles, which is what the Knicks coaching staff wants to see the most.
After Sun Yi hit two step-back jumpers in a row in front of Wade, he couldn't continue to work hard, and his third back-to-back single popped out of the frame.
On the Heat's side, after a series of conductions, the ball was once again in Beasley's hands. But Sheldon, who has good defensive skills and awareness. Williams simply doesn't give opponents an easy shot at all.
With the opponent's effective interference, Beasley also interrupted his scoring momentum. The game began to heat up, and the shooting percentage of both sides continued to decline under the high-intensity defense.
99 to 98!
With a minute left in the fourth quarter, the Heat, playing at home, still held a slight lead.
The Knicks, who were behind in the score, called a long timeout to set up tactics and adjust the state.
Sheldon, who played more than 5 minutes in the fourth quarter. Williams has successfully completed the task given to him by the head coach. After he came on the court, Beasley, who had been hot before, did not score a single point.
However, now due to the score is behind. The Knicks, who were desperate to score, could only replace the starting power forward David, who was more reliable in offense. Plum.
The game restarted with Miller possessing the ball for half time. Sun Yi came to the waist position with the help of his teammates, and Wade followed the shadow and chased after him.
The Chinese teenager who successfully got the ball leaned a little against the opponent behind him, and immediately raised his shoulders to make a feint to retreat and turn around. Immediately afterwards, regardless of whether the other party eats or not, he decisively turns around and breaks through.
The Flash, who had been thinking about the opponent's picturesque step-back jumper, and by the time he reacted, the Knicks' No. 8 had already made a layup in the air, dodging Joel. Anthony's block, easy sneak attack.
99 to 100!
At the critical moment, it is necessary to rely on the best rookie in the league who is not afraid of tigers for newborn calves.
Become the home team on the trailing side and launch a counter-offensive immediately.
Chanmos dribbled the ball across half court, went straight to Wade, who picked up at the top of the arc, and then led Miller straight to the bottom corner. Dai Quian. Cook did the same and took Chandler away.
In addition to the penalty area, there are two players from each side. Now there is a huge arc top area, and there are only two people, Wade and Sun Yi.
The Flash looked at the situation on the field, and without too much hesitation, he accelerated directly and began to break through. The Chinese guy who is at a disadvantage in strength can only stick to the opponent's body and try his best to make Wade unable to run.
But at this time, no one in the alliance is sure to prevent the Flash. The core of the Heat, who was determined every step of the way, almost threw shots behind the defender's back before the opposing center McDyce arrived.
Backbite!
At the same time as the whistle blows, the ball goes into the net.
2+1!
Since Sun Yi began to play opposite Wade in the fourth quarter, the Flash, who has not been very reluctant to shoot, this time, at the most critical moment of the game, the very resolute individual attack made the American Airlines Center Arena boil instantly.
Heat fans, who lazy throughout the game, seem to have known for a long time that this scene will finally play out. Because they've seen Wade do this countless times in this arena.
Swish!
When the Flash hit the free throw safely, there were 40 seconds left on the game and the visitors were now two points behind.
The Chinese guy who was beaten into a key attack by his opponent didn't have time to be frustrated. Because, the game is not over yet.
This time, Sun Yi took the initiative to run to the baseline to receive Chandler's serve. After dribbling steadily through the half, I saw that there was no chance of a sneak attack. He had to pass the ball to Miller and hand it over to the veteran to organize the attack.
Time passed minute by minute, and the Knicks, who were behind the score, could only pass the ball on the outside under the opponent's tight defense. When Miller Sr. received the pass again, he looked at the little round time left, and shouted to his Chinese teammates who were running without the ball: "Sun, come and catch the ball." ”
When Sun Yi got the ball on the right side of the arc, there were still 6 seconds left in the attacking time.
It looks like the home team's defense will be decisive this time.
Sun Yi, who held the ball one step outside the three-point line, made a spying step, and then did not advance but retreated, and took two steps outside the three-point line to shoot directly from a long distance.
Swish!
When the ball plunged into the white net, the Chinese guy who hit the key goal still maintained the posture of just shot. The young Knicks, with his arms held high, are now like a victorious general, waving to his subjects.
102 to 103!
The ups and downs of the game made fans want to stop.
Heat head coach Spoelstra quickly called a timeout, and he had to find a way to get his team to play the last offense.
……
After the timeout, both sides made changes to their lineups.
Heat with James. Jones replaces Dai Quian. Cook, add an outside fire point. The Knicks replaced Miller Sr. with Afflalo, who defended better.
Chammos controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and the Flash, who had been cruising on the sideline, used his body to squeeze away the Chinese youngster's personal marking, and immediately went around in an arc to respond.
While receiving a pass from a teammate, Wade had already adjusted his body center of gravity in advance. With a little hands, it seemed that he was going to shoot, but Sun Yi, who had been highly concentrated, did not shake.
And the Flash seems to have expected the current situation for a long time, and he started directly with a heavy shoulder, taking advantage of his huge strength, and fighting the opponent's defense to the inside.
"Antonio, hurry up."
Sun Yi knew that he couldn't defend the core of the Heat, which had gone berserk, and he immediately called his teammate McDyce to come and help defend.
But the thirty-five-year-old center forward is still a step slower.
Wade made a sharp stop before the two formed a circle.
Swish!
104 to 103!
This was the final score of the game, and although the Knicks had one more chance to make a desperate bet, Sun Yi's shot was a narrow margin.
The New York Giants, who have always been dominant, still failed to withstand the crazy counterattack of their opponents, and unfortunately lost their debut in the new season.
The young Chinese teenager also lost a direct conversation with Wade. However, he is only a sophomore in his early twenties, and there is still time and opportunity to beat his opponents. (To be continued.) )
