The Knicks entered the second half with a psychological advantage, and the Heat entered the second half with a substantial one-point lead. But this advantage did not make the Heat feel at ease, but instead made them fall into a kind www.biquge.info of panic. It's not that the Heat haven't fought a tough battle, Guan is and the Knicks don't know how many times they have been smashed, but this time, the situation on the court is too delicate, and the Heat's two starting interior lines have all three fouls, which means that the quality of the Heat's interior defense will be greatly reduced.

At this time, "God Operator" Pat Riley showed his decisive and tough side. The Heat began to change their tactics, and they actually began to constantly attack the inside, trying to forcibly create damage to pull the gap between the two sides back to the original point.

I have to say that Pat Riley, who came to Miami, was able to build all aspects of the team according to his own will, and the whole team had a high level of tactical discipline.

In the face of the impact of the Heat, it was Johnson who bore the brunt of the attack, his athleticism was ruined by a knee injury, and his foot movement became slower and slower with age.

Mashburn still opted for a basket attack. Marshburn's outstanding explosiveness is not only reflected in the bounce, but also in the instantaneous acceleration of the first step.

Mashburn took Johnson in one step, leaving only a black and red back.

Mo Xi stepped forward to make up for the defense, and Mo Ning was vacated.

It stands to reason that Marshburn could have given the ball directly to Mourning to score easily, but this was not the tactical purpose of the Heat.

There is also a significant change in the year of Mo Xi in New York, that is, the enthusiasm of defense continues to rise, after all, in such a defensive team that everyone is a fierce player, it is difficult for you not to be assimilated by them, Mo Xi is now willing to defend, dare to defend, and his physical fitness is enough for him to defend well, but he lacks time and technical training.

In the face of Mo Xi, who was actively making up for the defense, Marshburn took advantage of Mo Xi's unstable footing to cause his foul, walked to the free throw line, and hit two free throws.

The Heat's tactics were executed resolutely enough, but in the playoffs, coupled with the fact that it was the home court of the Knicks, the Heat's foul tactics had little effect, and even because of such an ineffective offense, the Knicks gradually pulled the score away.

Pat Riley knows very well that such labor pains are inevitable, although the Knicks are a strong team, but the malaise in the fourth quarter is also well known, as long as it is not pulled to more than ten points in the third quarter, then the fourth quarter is not without the power of a battle.

It's just that there is a premise for all this, and the Heat need to defend against the Knicks' offense.

The Knicks' offense is very methodical, changing the previous offensive mode of Ewing shooting with a single inside point and outside shooting, and has become a real multi-point flowering.

Mo Xi stuck the position on the inside, held Mo Ning, and chiseled inward twice, but unfortunately Mo Ning's body was very good, Mo Xi did not push further inside, but this was enough, Mo Ning's defensive focus at the moment has been completely shifted to Mo Xi, but it is obvious that compared to Mo Xi, Ewing has better offensive power.

Ewing instantly inserted the inside line, Mo Xi directly divided it, P-J Brown followed, but he was a little slow when he started, Ewing caught the ball, Mo Ning was behind Mo Xi, he couldn't step forward to make up for the defense at the first time, Ewing directly split the dunk.

The Heat suppressed the rhythm and did not mess up because of temporary gains and losses, they still stepped on their own pace.

Mourning began to harden Ewing, and the two went head-to-head on the left wing, but apparently, Mourning didn't really want to play Ewing alone, he pulled Ewing out of the basket and handed the ball directly to P. J. Brown who was standing at the free throw line.

P-J. Brown wasn't a good interior attacker in the past, present, or future, but it seems that in his opinion, he still has the ability to just hold a dynamite bag and make a suicidal attack against Moxi.

Brown used his elbow to push Mo Xi directly and strode inward, but it seemed that his elbow did not have any effect in order to pursue concealment, Mo Xi ate this hard, but immediately eased up and chased after him from behind.

Brown was reminded by Mourning to find that he was not free from Moxie's defense, and had to distribute the ball to Hardaway on the wing.

Although he is also called Hardaway, Tim Hardaway is far from being as famous as Anfernee Hardaway, plus the two positions and styles are also different, but few people compare the two, but there is no doubt that the surname Hardaway is very strong. Tim Hardaway was once considered the originator of the crotch dribble in the league, nicknamed "BUG", and also called Beetle, mainly because of his style of play that was incompatible with the entire era, but there is always one thing that is not wrong, he is very strong.

Hardaway caught the ball and shook it, forcing Sprewell, Sprewell missed, let go of the bottom line, Hardaway broke through directly, at this time Mo Xi and Brown were still under the basket, the restricted area was very crowded, Mo Xi wanted to step forward to interfere, but was blocked by P-J Brown, but because there was not much room to turn, Hardaway's layup was missed, and Mo Xi accepted the defensive rebound.

The two sides played as if they were in a quagmire, and although the Knicks gradually took the lead, the number of fouls on the interior also increased. Ewing committed four fouls, and foul issues have been haunting him since his first day in the league, with Kurt Thomas stepping up first, and looking at the current situation, Van Gundy is determined not to be a point guard.

It's not for nothing that Kurt Thomas can suppress Camby to stand in the starting position for a long time, not to mention Camby's fragile body, first of all, a small mid-range shot is not what Camby has now, plus a big heart and enough small means to play a tough game, Thomas is a good choice.

However, this choice seems to be very problematic now, because in the face of Mo Ning, he has no trace of resistance, and after being beaten twice by Mo Ning, Mo Xi has to take over Mo Ning's defense again.

Defending Mourning, in addition to being physically strong enough, there is another point, that is, it must be taller than Mourning, otherwise Mourning in this period still has enough means to score the ball on your head, and it is obvious that although Kurt Thomas's small actions make it good, it is difficult to defend against Mourning with real knives and guns.

Mo Ning directly faced Mo Xi and stood up with three threats, but in fact, this position did not seem to have much effect on Mo Xi, because Mo Xi had not learned how to prevent people from passing, and he could only make a judgment between Mo Ning's breakthrough and shooting.

Mo Ning suddenly took a tentative step, the center of gravity sank, Mo Xi did not retreat but advanced, moved forward half a step, the five games of the fight made him know Mo Ning very well from some aspects, Mo Ning's tentative step has two situations, once the center of gravity sinks after the tentative step, it means that he has to retreat and shoot next. Mo Ning didn't expect Mo Xi's reaction to be so fast, so he simply changed his usual habit and suddenly started to break through from Mo Xi's left hand side.

But the habit is not so easy to change, Mo Ning's center of gravity has been lowered, and it is difficult to lower the center of gravity again in the second step, and in the face of Mo Xi, who is much taller than himself, although it is easy to break through by lowering the center of gravity, it is obvious that Mo Xi will not let you lift up.

Mo Ning was forced to stop under the basket, so far, Mo Xi is a very good defense, but it's a pity, Mo Xi's nerves are too tight, he was shaken up by Mo Ning's simple head, Mo Ning hit it directly, two strong bodies collided in the air, Mo Ning relied on excellent upper body strength to throw the ball into the basket, the referee hesitated, or gave the whistle, Mo Ning 2 + 1.

This time, Mo Xi also committed four crimes, and the Knicks' interior group faced a difficult challenge.

Ewing is already off, both are four fouls, and Van Gundy doesn't want Ewing to come back and take risks. After all, when it comes to the critical moment, Ewing's deterrence on the field is far stronger than Moxi's. Van Gundy hesitated for a moment and replaced Moxi and Thomas with Camby and Ward.

It's just that this time, the Knicks' shortcomings in point guard are revealed, Ward's defense and shooting are good, but it's just good, even Sprewell has some strength to defend Hardaway, let alone Ward.

Fortunately, the Knicks had already established a small advantage before, and under the Knicks' three military orders, they blocked the Heat's meal, and the two sides played three quarters and tied 68 into the fourth quarter of the final showdown.
