Chapter 342: Miami is good for fishing
'Playing away from home is definitely different and we're ready to play two really tough games in Miami, but we don't think about the outcome now, as long as we play at our normal level and can explain to ourselves and the fans, we're done. www.biquge.info"When Emperor Wu appeared in the training hall the next day, he was interviewed with a smile on his face.
Wu Huang still has a bite mark on his neck at the moment that he doesn't know who left, but it has been perfectly hidden by him with a scarf, although wearing a scarf makes him look a bit like a, but it's better than racking his brains to explain to the girls, even if he thinks that the girls may not know if they bite themselves.
After the Knicks tied the overall score at 1-1, the two teams were back on the same page, but the New Yorkers have already regained the majority of the advantage, and if they can win another win in Miami, they will be in a better position than they were before the series began.
The Miami media began to hype up the issue of game penalties before the game, which was actually a disguised protest against the league's special care for the Knicks, and some local small media even directly typed headlines such as "referees become Hugo's best partners" to question the injustice of the decisions.
After the Knicks came to Miami, Alonzo Mourning, the Heat, publicly blasted the league referees for favoring New York, believing that the current Heat team is significantly better than the Knicks, if the referees could be more impartial.
However, star strategy is the unspoken rule of the league, and Heat fans are no strangers to the special care that Wade and James receive. Who the referee favors is judged according to the global appeal, Wu Huang's influence in the world is not inferior to James, then he can naturally have no scruples when attacking, and at the moment of physical contact, he can also rest assured and boldly fall to the ground and cry, and the referee will send the whistle in time at the behest of the president to make up for the Knicks' embarrassment in cracking the Heat's defense.
But this kind of thing is relative, James and Wade will definitely be taken care of by the referee at home, Wu Huang's global influence has not yet reached the level of enjoying the home whistle treatment on the road, which is Jordan's exclusive privilege, and the Knicks must be prepared to deal with the referee's favoritism to the home team when they come to Miami.
The Knicks got a statistic from the media before the game, which told them that although it was only the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals, it was far more important than expected, because since 2006, when the Heat won the championship, every team that won the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals has reached the finals. Therefore, winning the third game will not only lead 2:1, but also gain an unimaginable psychological advantage, and at the same time, the blow to the enemy's morale is not ordinarily big.
Whoever loses one game between the two teams now, the media will infinitely exaggerate the cost and consequences of this defeat, which will have a great impact on the psychology of the players, so the further they go, the more they can't afford to lose.
In an interview before the game, Wu Huang once half-jokingly said that he had a dream the night before, in which he rushed left and right and was unstoppable. "I hope that 'dreams can come true', and last night I showed all my tricks in my dreams, breakaways, three-pointers, dunks, one after another, and their home court completely became my show, and I hope the reality is the same."
The Miami reporter said to make your sweet dreams, and TM one after another, you think this is eating dumplings!
Wu Huang doesn't think there's any problem, not to mention that he is the new MVP, he has this strength, just like last night the CS1.6 World Series sponsored by his video website came to the finals, and the final result was that a dark horse team in China defeated the current world No. 1 fnatic to win the championship, won the championship with odds of 1 to 39, and won the highest prize money in this year's CS project with 200,000 US dollars.
Since even this kind of small probability event can occur in reality, what is it strange that he, the MVP, has a big explosion in the game?
Wu Huang's Panda Video has now become a monopolist in the field of global online live broadcasting, and has always occupied more than eighty percent of the global market share, the stronger the so-called stronger, the stronger he is, the best embodiment of his place, a year ago, those live broadcast sites that followed suit and were established, have now fallen half, the hard-earned funds invested by these sites, and the anchors who have spent a lot of money to train have all switched to his Panda Video after the website collapsed, and made a wedding dress for him in vain.
In addition to signing most of the world's well-known competitive players at the price of cabbage early in the morning, his panda video also preemptively obtained the exclusive webcast rights of the world's major competitive events. At that time, this kind of online live broadcast right was still a new thing, and the price was not expensive at all, and Panda Video was already able to win the exclusive live broadcast right of the IEM World Series with a sponsorship fee of 300,000 US dollars a year, and it was signed for three years.
Other live broadcast sites have been embarrassed to find that no matter how big or small the event is, they have no right to broadcast live, when an unpopular passerby anchor in the panda video website can broadcast these games at will, the anchors they have worked so hard to cultivate can only use the situation of text to secretly broadcast, this situation is more than embarrassing can be described.
Since the beginning of this year, Panda Video has also hosted the world competition of popular competitive games such as Warcraft, Interstellar and CS at its own expense, and the prize money is ridiculously high as soon as it comes up, which is ready to use the competition hosted by itself to top it before the expiration of the exclusive live broadcast rights of those large-scale events, saving these guys from opening their mouths when the lion opens their mouths.
"First of all, I will seal up all those Taiwanese and Hong Kong independence elements!" Wu Huang saw in the locker room before the game that someone in his live broadcast room dared to make trouble, and almost let the website block all the IPs of Taiwan and Hong Kong in a fit of anger.
In last night's final, there were many Taiwan and Hong Kong independence elements in the official live broadcast room who were unscrupulously insulting China, although those who used China-No.1 to brush the screen were also brain-dead, but he still looked at the banana grandchildren more unpleasantly. Any bastard who posts such statements on his site must die! As for those fools in the country, they can be executed after the autumn, but these guys must be executed!
Wu Huang feels that the biggest advantage of his panda video monopoly in the global live broadcast industry is that he can casually implement a "zero tolerance" policy against those mongrels who abuse China on the screen, and they can be blocked one by one!
The Knicks' starting lineup today is similar to the previous one, but Reggie Evans has been removed from the starting lineup by the mustache. Although this person is brave in battle, his height disadvantage is too obvious, and it is no problem to be a wonder soldier occasionally, but after the Heat suffers a loss, he must be targeted, and it is easy for the Heat to make a fuss about his height if he continues to start.
D'Antoni sent out today's starters: Wu Huang, Iguodala, Gallinari, Stoudemire, O'Neal. The mustache is also cunning, and the former superstar who has been severely snubbed in the previous two games has finally changed O'Neal back to the starting lineup today.
In fact, after the first two games, many media and fans were complaining about D'Antoni's use of O'Neal, so the mustache put O'Neal back into the starting lineup in this game, but if this dead fat man doesn't play well, who will dare to criticize his platoon in the future?
However, even if O'Neal performed well today, it was because he was the head coach who used people properly, and he didn't suffer any losses.
The mustache's coaching level may not have improved much in the past two years, but the sleekness of being a man has greatly improved, which is the growth forced out of the pressure of being in a big city.
Wu Huang has played in ten playoff games this season, averaging 30.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 3.0 steals per game, shooting 51.6% from the field, 43.3% from three-point range, and 95.8% from the free throw line.
This kind of playoff stats are extremely rare, and they are usually only seen when superstars are in their prime. In terms of shooting percentage, Wu Huang can be called "perverted", even if he is a superstar at his peak, few people can play such a terrifying playoff shooting rate.
So how to limit Wu Huang's shooting percentage is probably the Heat's top priority today, if Wu Huang's scoring efficiency cannot be limited, it will be difficult for the Heat to win the game with the Knicks.
The Heat also changed the lineup today, Spoelstra in order to make up for the lack of vitality on the inside, today specially replaced the positive style of play Haslem, in fact, it is to limit Evans's playing style under the basket through his enthusiasm, five starters: Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh, Haslem.
However, Spoelstravan never expected that the mustache had many men, and he would not use Evans if he said he didn't need it today. What makes the Heat even more embarrassed is that Haslem's height is only 203cm, and I don't know if it's the data measured after wearing shoes, if he really deals with Evans, it may be no problem, but O'Neal is a real 216cm tall, and the Heat captain is nearly a head tall to that station, plus the tonnage is also nearly 100 pounds.
After the opening, the two No. 4 positions of Smalls and Bosh ran to fight for the ball, and the Heat won, but they failed to attack two consecutive outside shots after the opening.
The Knicks have O'Neal sitting under the basket today, the defensive position is two inside and three outside, Xiao Si stands a little outside, O'Neal is stuck in the restricted area, except for defending Haslem, he only needs to deal with Wade and James' breakthroughs, and nothing else.
The Heat's offense is a 2-3 high post play, usually when the team does not have a big man in the low post, or the low post player is a good pitcher (Bosh), this position can provide space for the baseline to cut and hold the ball, which is also the offensive formation that Miami has often played this season.
The Knicks play a "V-shaped" position on the offensive end, which simply means that two players stand in two bottom corners, and two interior players pull to two corner positions, mainly to provide cover or blocking opportunities for point guards at the top of the arc. Under this offensive formation, Wu Huang can choose the direction of covering and blocking by himself, and after breaking through, he can also freely choose to divide the ball to the two bottom corners or pass to the inside line to cover himself, which can allow him to give full play to his spirituality.
Of course, these are just the default offensive methods of the Knicks formation, and the specific implementation will definitely be different in every offense, after all, people are alive, players will not stand still, offense and defense are the same.
After Wu Huang opened the game, he first used the breakthrough to assist Xiao Si and Iguodala to shoot from a distance, and after the Heat saw that the Knicks continued to use the breakthrough points after blocking and dismantling to form an offense, they quickly concentrated their defensive forces in the middle to re-defend Wu Huang's breakthroughs and points.
This is a game of offense and defense, where a set of offensive positions will not remain the same all the time, the defender will target according to the success rate of the attacker, and vice versa. At this time, the offensive side can not rely on the coach to call a timeout every time, otherwise the number of timeouts is not enough, how to arrange the offensive formation is generally decided by the point guard, the coach usually sees the players on the court do not know how to adjust when they will call a timeout. Some coaches don't even call a timeout on the offensive end, such as Zen Guru, who rarely calls a timeout when a player is attacking badly, and he thinks it's the player's own job.
Wu Huang saw that the team's third offense was almost defended for 24 seconds, and after the shot was missed, the next time the offense was immediately changed, and the gesture made his teammates into a single stacked position, which is the tactic often played by the Rockets - three outside players pull down the three-point line, and the two interior players stand on the same side before the offense starts, and when the tactics begin, one inside moves to the other side, and the outside player sees the opportunity to feed the ball to the inside to create one-on-one singles.
Xiao Si and O'Neal were supposed to stay on the left side after they were in position, but when the tactics began to be executed, Xiao Si suddenly accelerated to move to the right, and O'Neill also made a cover for him by the way.
Wu Huang quickly judged at the top of the arc whether Xiao Si could use this cover to get rid of Bosh and run out of the opportunity, if there was a chance he would pass the ball directly, but when he found that this opportunity was not big, he immediately passed the ball to Iguodala on the left side 45 degrees outside the three-point line, and then the latter hoisted the ball to O'Neal on the inside, and finally it was O'Neal who attacked Haslem with his back and relied on his weight advantage to turn and hook to score.
This tactic is still very simple for point guards, and the success of the execution mainly tests the individual efficiency of the passer on the wing and the post player. The Rockets' wing passers are not so good, they can't always successfully hoist the ball to the inside, so Yao Ming, despite having the strongest low-post offensive ability in the game, has always been unable to fully play it.
O'Neal took advantage of his height and weight advantage to make a one-time shot, and then caused a defensive foul on Haslem, and although he hit one of two free throws, it still gave the team an 8-0 lead on 3-of-4 shooting in the opening game.
Spoelstra didn't immediately ask for a timeout, he didn't think about how to deal with the Knicks' offense for the time being, if too many troops were put in the low post to guard O'Neal, how should Wu Huang and Xiao Si deal with it? And how to deal with Iguodala and Gallinari on both sides?
Just when the Filipino began to wonder who he was and where he was going, James relied on his personal ability to make a foul on his former teammate O'Neal and returned the color, and hit both free throws, and the Heat finally got started. However, O'Neal then continued to exert his power, first hitting another hook shot on the inside, and then attracting the bag to assist Wu Huang on an outside three-point shot, helping the Knicks to establish a 13-2 lead at the beginning of the game
At this moment, the "American Airlines Center" has begun to collectively greet the families of O'Neill and Wu Huang. As soon as the Knicks players entered the court today, enthusiastic Miami fans began to greet the families of the New York players in various ways, which may be the reason why the Knicks' offense was a sharp mess after the opening.
The first quarter lasted less than three minutes, and the Knicks blossomed inside and outside so that Spoelstra had to call a timeout, the main purpose was to cool off the opponent's hot hand, nothing else.
The Knicks themselves didn't expect the offense to play so smoothly today, and as a team that relies on offense for a living, what they want most is this offensive feeling today.
After the Heat's timeout, Wade used the breakaway to cause a foul on Iguodala, and the decision was debatable, and the Heat finally got the home whistle on their home court.
At this moment, in front of the TV, the referee is frantically complaining about the referee bastard, replaced by Knicks fans, the poor referee will be greeted by at least one side of the fans every game for their ancestors eighteen generations, and the judgment is fair and often scolded by fans on both sides, sports refereeing is estimated to be the most hated profession in the world.
Wade hit two free throws and one shot, and then Wu Huang also used his personal ability to kill the penalty area and complete a throw.
After this timeout, the scores on both sides began to increase at an average rate, but on one side they used their excellent offensive sense, and on the other side they used free throws, relying on the help of the home whistle, which made the Heat players more or less affected in morale, and this kind of scoring is difficult to maintain a feel, it is not a long-term solution, and the referee cannot blow a full home whistle.
The Big Three of the Heat may want to beat O'Neal down so that they can solve the trouble on the inside, but in the first quarter of the game to 8 minutes and 15 seconds, it was Haslem who was beaten first, and he was fouled by Wu Huang's breakthrough, and he was back with two fouls before the first quarter of the game was played.
D'Antoni had already wanted to replace O'Neal, but after Haslem made two fouls, the Heat had to replace Joel Anthony to resist. If the Knicks can take advantage of O'Neal's excellent state and beat this guy into two fouls, then the Heat will have no interior line available, and whether it is replaced by Uncle Huo or Magloyer, the Knicks' breakthrough and interior offense will go crazy.
"Strengthen the inside attack!" D'Antoni didn't say much, just made a gesture to Wu Huang and it was over, and he knew that even if he didn't give this order, Wu Huang would order his teammates to attack the inside.
The Knicks' tactical intent was quickly achieved, as Joel Anthony was picked up for a foul less than a minute after being substituted. This time, although O'Neal's turn hook missed, Iguodala rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and then jumped directly to dunk, and the brave Canadian could only press Iguodala down in order to protect the basket, and he also paid the price of a foul.
Spoelstra stood on the sidelines with a constipated look on his face, but Joel Anthony did the right shot, this kind of ball must be fouled inside, but either way the defense will hurt the Heat. It can be said that after this ball was snatched away by the opponent, it was already doomed to death no matter how the Heat chose, which is the reason why both he, the head coach and the Heat player, showed a helpless expression.
"Not good! Oh no! Heat fans are repeating these two words at the moment, Iguodala has not made free throws yet, the score has come to 19:7, and they are likely to fall behind by 14 points at the beginning of the game after the free throws, such a game is really not good!
When Wu Huang congratulated Iguodala, he deliberately added a mockery: "Miami is such a good place, they can go out to sea to fish with a fishing rod on their backs after losing." ”
James was furious when he heard this, and the gorilla who had endured two games was completely furious, and scolded directly: "I'll go to sea with your mother!" ”
Wu Huang's face remained unchanged, if he said "West and your mother have gone to sea" at this time, it is estimated that James can directly punch him, and then this series will be over. It's just that Emperor Wu knows that this is not a smart choice, what kind of face does he have to laugh at Garnett and these people when he says this kind of trash talk? So he clapped his hands and said to the referee: "Mr. referee, is the person who utters such vulgar trash talk still entitled to the home treatment?" ”
The referee glanced at Wu Huang coldly: "What kind of home treatment?" ”
When Emperor Wu heard this, he smiled lightly in his heart, if the referee didn't say anything, it meant that his little trick had failed. But now responding to him, perhaps it means that the referee also feels that James' words are beyond the scope of trash talk, although this is not a foul, but in the case that the referee has given the Heat a lot of favoritism, he may not give James the treatment of the home whistle again.
"Damn, I'm so witty that I can even count the psychology of the referee, why are you fighting me?" Emperor Wu himself was thinking crankily here, and he felt very good about himself, and his mentality was slightly inflated. However, he himself knows this, if it is a headwind game, he can try to increase his individual attack, but now it is a tailwind game, and the inflated mentality is not suitable for singles, so he continues to feed O'Neal, who is in excellent form.
Iguodala hit both free throws and the game continued.
Joel Anthony got a foul as soon as he came up, and the next defense will naturally be affected, and his height is not suitable for going around the front defense, and the Heat players are unwilling to contain O'Neal, which allows the 39-year-old Sharks to continue to play on the inside, first with a turning board in the restricted area, and then after Wade finally assists the defense, Iguodala from the outside assists Iguodala three-point shot.
The Knicks finally grasped the weakness of the Heat's interior today, continuing to extend their lead in the first quarter, and O'Neal also continued his wonderful play, this fat man probably found a bit of a feeling of dominance in the Lakers.
Now the conundrum before Spoelstra is whether to include O'Neal or not? However, Wade had already acted on his own just now, and as a result, Iguodala, who was not on time at three-point time, hit another three-pointer from the outside, and this guy has always had a good three-point shot in the playoffs, and his three-point shooting rate has exceeded 40%, which is more than a pitcher.
Many commentators have once again played the professional tradition of falling wherever the wind blows, saying: "Almost every team that wins a championship will have one or two role players who play at a super level, such as the Mavericks' Terry who shot more than 45% of his three-point shooting in the playoffs this year, and Barria averaged 11 points per game in the playoffs, and he only played 18 minutes." Iguodala also shot over 40 percent from three-point range in this year's playoffs, which is enough to improve his role on the team to the point where Pippen is close to it, and the Knicks role players have indeed outperformed the Heat by more than one. ”
The Heat could only struggle with the play of James and Wade in the first quarter, Bosh also hit two mid-range shots in the last minute, and the Big Three basically played, but it also allowed the Heat to narrow the gap to within 15 points, and after the first quarter, they still fell behind by a score of 23:35.
"Oh my God! How could we be so miserable? ”
"We have the Big Three, and we should have won the championship, why did we even play so hard in the Eastern Conference Finals?"
"They must have taken the medicine, they should have given the Chinese monkey a urine test, and that Iguodala, and that dead fat man!"
“……”
Some Heat fans can't calm down after the first quarter, if the Knicks win this game, although the Heat is only 1:2 behind on the surface, but in fact, the odds of advancing to the finals have dropped to less than 30%, which is something that discerning people know, so they must not lose this game, but the inside line is really miserable! (To be continued.) )
