Anthony Davis is in trouble, and the Pelicans are in big trouble.

During the rotation, Zhang Xiaotian, Wade and Ray Allen played a wave of sharp attacks.

James came on the court for another three minutes to sum up, and the Heat's lead came to 20 points, and the game went into garbage time.

A team that relies on a young core is prone to collapse, and Anthony Davis has accumulated experience.

On January 9, the Heat went to New York to challenge the Knicks.

The Knicks were also quite aggressive last summer, sparing the likes of Andrea Banyani at the expense of their salaries and ostensibly upgrading their roster.

But they had a messy start to the season, and they don't know what they were doing.

It was so sharp last season, but it was only a few months before it suddenly stopped.

The Knicks' current starting lineup is also considered a small lineup, if you don't care about Banjani's height.

However, they did not take the initiative to change the lineup, but the team's main center Tyson Chandler was injured.

Another inside liner, Amare Stoudemire, has been playing on the bench since his comeback last season, and Smalls is not yet very old, but the injury has made him lose the style of the year.

Smith won't play due to the "untie your shoes" incident.

The team had a poor record, and the team also did some brain-dead things, and the team's head coach Mike Woodson had the urge to cut people.

It may also be because of this personality that Smith has never been offered a lucrative contract.

But against the Heat, the Knicks didn't play badly.

At the beginning, it was a change of defense, Anthony went to the No. 4 position to play against James, J Banyani played against Bosh, and Kenyon Martin, the most authentic insider, was changed to Zhang Xiaotian's side.

Fortunately, Kenyon Martin is already old, otherwise Zhang Xiaotian would definitely be choked enough, and the physical confrontation level of the inside players is still different.

However, Kenyon Martin is also a pseudo-starter, and Amare Stoudemire has more playing time.

After Stoudemire came up to partner with Banjani, it became him who was marking Bosh, and Banjani was going to defend James, so that Zhang Xiaotian would have to face Anthony.

I have to say, Anthony is too difficult to guard.

The opponent may be lamenting that James is not easy to defend, and James is still relatively quick to enter the state in this game.

It's that no matter which side of the Bosh is opposed, it is crushed to death.

Speaking of state fluctuations, Zhang Xiaotian felt that he was far inferior to Bosh.

The team plus Zhang Xiaotian has three ball-holding points, Bosh is becoming more and more like a pitcher, and he is also depressed.

As for defensive matters, Bosh really needs to review, he is still at his peak, how can he be bullied often.

Smith, Anthony took the lion's share of the shots.

The Knicks have not had a good season and the distribution of the ball can be a big problem, but Anthony, unlike James, is a more pure finisher and he needs a good No. 1 position to do it.

In the first half, the Heat relied on James and outside three-pointers to maintain the advantage, and everything seemed normal.

If there is a gap between the Knicks and the Heat, they should be in control.

But unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly in the third quarter, and the Knicks found that Kenyon Martin had little effect on the court, and decisively replaced Stoudemire in advance.

Although Stoudemire doesn't have the strength he had before the injury, he still exploded the heat on rebounds.

The Heat's rebounds are really good, and the Spurs' weak interior line is fake in comparison.

After Xiao Si came on the court, the Knicks' outside opportunities also came out, while the Heat's outside line suddenly failed.

Zhang Xiaotian was suppressed by Anthony, Bosh continued to slump, only James and Wade could score, but the Knicks played as a team, and the two sides seemed to have changed teams.

And because there was no one on the bench for the Knicks, several of the main players were playing on top, and they didn't give the Heat a chance at all.

In the third quarter, they overtook the score, and when James rested in the fourth quarter, the Knicks suddenly extended the score advantage to more than 10 points.

Of course, Zhang Xiaotian began to play, but the skills were not invincible.

You know, the Knicks didn't rest on several strong points during the rotation.

When the main team of the Heat team played again, Zhang Xiaotian got some opportunities.

One is that Anthony switched to James' side again, and the player he faced became Banjani.

He took the opportunity to burst into a few opponents, and the defense was not bad.

But because the team was unable to contain Anthony and the rebounds were blown up, the game was still lost.

The current Heat seems to have recovered from a super strong team to the feeling of an ordinary strong team, able to win in a row, but there will be a miss in a few games.

Although the Knicks have a poor record, they are indeed a strong team, and it is normal to lose to them.

This time they are actually the beginning of the six-in-a-row, and they were planted in the first game, which is really a bit unlucky.

But it is not without good news, several players in the team who have been affected by injuries have plans to return and have already participated in confrontation training with the team.

Battier, James Jones and others don't say it, the point is that Greg Oden also has this plan.

You must know that last summer, the person the Heat was looking forward to more was not Zhang Xiaotian, but Auden the Great.

The current embarrassment on the inside makes the team desperate for some changes.

Before that, they have to fight a ruthless character with a poor record.

This ruthless character is naturally the Nets, who threw a lot of money last summer and ranked first in the league in luxury tax.

The Nets brought in five tiger generals, but their record was as bad as the Knicks, and they were extremely depressed.

In addition to the run-in, the biggest reason should be that the youngest of the five bigwigs, that is, Brook Lopez, is injured.

The big man in his most playing year was injured, and the Nets were also unlucky.

The rest of the old All-Stars are all no longer at their peak, the money is spent, and the results are not bought.

The NBA has always been like this, you don't have to be a local tyrant to succeed, and there are countless waves that die on the beach.

Compared with football, the basketball court is too small, and it is really not possible to succeed by stacking stars, especially when the thighs of the stars are not thick enough.

But the Nets are still a tough nut to crack, especially for the back-to-back Heat.

Back-to-back Wade didn't play, and the rotation was already a little less, and the Heat made it a bit worse.

The Pacers are just behind them, and although the regular season is not that important, the Heat don't want to lose the first place in the East, and they don't want to lose in a row.

As public enemies of the Alliance, they have enough pride.

Ray Allen started in place of Wade, and with Norris Kerr, who started in place of Chanmos, the Heat's lineup has also changed a bit.

The Nets are also one big and four small, Pierce follows James to play the No. 4 position, and Garnett sits on the inside, just planning to fight the Heat.

Wonderful!
