The Christmas battle between the Knicks and the Heat has turned into a contest of iron.

After the first quarter...... It is no accident that people believe that the Knicks can defend the Heat in the opening game, because the Heat only scored 14 points in the first quarter of today's game......

The Knicks' offense was also limited, scoring just 21 points in the first quarter.

Lin Yi found that it was no accident that D'Antoni came up with that kind of defensive strategy in the future, and after he gave D'Antoni some suggestions, Lao De immediately thought of this kind of infinite change of defensive chain formation.

Lin Yi was also iron in the first quarter, but this did not affect the situation of the Knicks, and his resolute shot also avoided the mistakes caused by hesitation.

You can't hesitate to play a team like the Heat, you have to shoot to score goals.

O'Neal didn't play today, and at the beginning of the second quarter, Whiteside, Battier, Chandler Jr., Lowe and Livingston were on.

The Heat can only James, Wade, and Bosh, and these three will take Mike Miller and James Jones in the second quarter.

"The Heat have reached a dead end." Lin Yi, who was sitting on the bench, muttered to himself.

The Heat are now thinking about how to defend themselves, but in fact, the key to solving the Knicks is to crack the Knicks' defense.

Don't look at the "Zen Master" is not good at on-the-spot adaptation, the Knicks lost to the Lakers, it seems that Kobe's obsession has come up again, but in fact, it is also the "Zen Master" requirement.

Phil Jackson knows that playing this kind of tough defensive team you can't make mistakes first, you have to fight round by round.

As a result, Kobe Bryant really fought a bloody way in that game, and the more the Heat are afraid of the Knicks' defense now, the more the Knicks' defense will kick their noses in the face.

Wade's breakthrough today is mainly based on jump shots, and the Flash who seeks stability did not cause any damage to the forest combination, so of course you are letting you play this kind of giant planet!

……

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks' defensive intensity decreased slightly, and the Heat began to chase points, but they still failed to score a three-pointer tonight.

And Livingston was in good shape tonight, Billups felt that Livingston, who had changed his style of play, was not easy when he first arrived on the team, and Livingston made three small mid-range shots in a row, which quickly stabilized the Knicks.

The second team is not afraid of losing points, as long as you maintain the situation and stick to it until the Knicks come back.

James was a little suspicious of life on the field, this peat, the score difference can't catch up!

It is impossible to say that James is calm, and this Knicks are not so much stronger than the Heat, but more about restraining the Heat everywhere.

James can also score, but he still has to defend every time he scores, and the Heat's defensive intensity will definitely be a calf when it drops, but what about the Knicks?

With six minutes left in the second quarter, D'Antoni waved his hand, five down and five up, sorry, there are so many of us!

That's how the Warriors play in the future, even if they are behind, they are determined to rotate ten people, and the Knicks are even more exaggerated this season, with a 12-man rotation, like tonight's game, Danny Green and Finson may be able to get seven or eight minutes of playing time, so they can't play with you when they play?

Of course, the Heat can also be on the bench, but does Spoelstra dare to use the bench?

Lin Yi untied D'Antoni's knot, as long as Lao De is not the main force, he is one of the best head coaches in the league.

When the Knicks' main lineup returned, the score was 23-29, and the two teams played a quarter and a half, and the score was not as high as the other game in which the Celtics and Magic played the first quarter.

James was in a hurry and hit the first three-pointer of the night for the Heat, 26-29.

James would frown all the time when he was in a bad mood, and he didn't celebrate after scoring three points, but turned back to defend Lin Yi, and the Knicks used the classic inside block tactics that only they would play, James forced the block, and the referee Crawford gave him his second foul of the night.

Judging from the slow motion, James did push people, but if it had been placed in the past, this kind of whistle referee might have let it go.

However, Crawford was selfless tonight, and in the first quarter, Crawford also blew Lin Yi for a walk with a caring face.

When Lin Yi saw the two crimes of the "Little Emperor", he knew that the opportunity for the Knicks had come.

After the Knicks kicked the sideline, Lin Yi beckoned Billups to ask for the ball and forced a single, and some fans on the sidelines were a little stunned when he and James collided muscles.

James defended absolutely tough tonight, but tough defence also had a nemesis.

Lin Yi hugged the basketball and turned his back without hesitation and rushed to the basket, James's lateral movement was so fast that it was exaggerated, the two collided in the air, Lin Yi deliberately leaned on James, and raised his hands high.

Lin Yi was not disappointed, but this time it was another referee who blew the whistle.

"LeBron 3 is guilty!" Barkley said after looking at the data.

"That's not good, LeBron has to go down and rest." Kenny Smith chimed in.

The little emperor looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to explain, he had already eaten a T, and if he ate another one, he would have to go down, and the Heat made substitution adjustments, the veteran Miller was up, and James was down.

"Lin is too smart." D'Antoni said with emotion on the sidelines.

Lin Yi's unreasonable impact on the ball this time is very likely to eat a hat, but Lin Yi is looking for a hat, even if he is capped? As long as he can get James to make three fouls in the second quarter, it will be cost-effective to get two blocks.

Lin Yi didn't expect to succeed the first time, and it can only be said that the Heat were indeed over-heated tonight.

Lin Yi hit two free throws, and the Knicks led by five points.

The Heat are in danger, James is not there, their strength has dropped a lot, and at the moment of crisis, CBA teammate "Dragon King" Bosh stood up and hit a back-to-back shot in a row to stabilize the situation for the Heat.

Bosh's left hand was difficult to defend, and Lin Yi had the upper hand in this one-on-one.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a board of strange injustices through the ages, and if you want to talk about the offensive skills among the big forwards, Bosh is really not bad.

Last season, when Bosh was in the Raptors, Lin Yi and him were very uncomfortable, this kind of fighting and retreating style of play is much more difficult to prevent than the impact of the head iron, if Bosh has a good hand, Lin Yi can only admit it.

As a result, the first half was played...... After James went down, the Heat tied the score instead.

The two sides were tied at 36 in the first half, and it was difficult to break 100 points in this game.

James, who was sitting on the bench, also had a much more relaxed expression, and he gave Bosh a hug, and the "Dragon King" stood up tonight and deserved the emperor's reward.

At halftime, Barkley and Kenny Smith analyzed the defense of the two teams, and Barkley said that under the existing rules, the Heat and Knicks can still play such a high-intensity and high-level confrontation, which is really powerful.

Olson and Yuna chatted about Hollywood, but both of them were clearly still on their minds to the game, especially when the Heat tied the score at halftime, and they worried that the Knicks were actually in the same mood as many neutral fans.

Especially many Cleveland fans watching this game, Cavaliers fans don't want the Knicks to lose.

Riley made another passionate speech in the locker room, "You are fighters! Fight like a man! ”

It's a pity that if Lin Yi is in the locker room of the Heat, he will definitely complain about Riley, can you not always use the word like a man, this word will make people think that the Heat are a women's basketball team......

Compared with the slaughter in the Heat locker room, the Knicks' locker room was cheerful, and D'Antoni also made a summary.

"Coach, if the Heat still have a small lineup in the second half, we might as well do this." The corners of Lin Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his long arm.
