The Heat clearly have a plan for the Knicks' formation.

It was their one-man big center who ran to defend Garnett, the best defensive player of the season, Mourning!

Although Mourning's speed is not as fast as Garnett, he has the strength, dares to fight and grab, and he doesn't even want rebounds at the moment.

Defending Nowitzki is another defensive stalwart, PJ Brown, "Thunder" Marley defending Houston, and Tim Hardaway defending Charlie Ward.

Finally, the defender in front of Da Yao is the Heat's small forward Mashburn!

Riley glanced at Li Wei from a distance, and said loudly: "If you dare to pull all five people away, I will dare to prevent all five people from leaving, as long as you don't give you a vacant seat, I don't believe you can get a bargain!" ”

"Really?" Li Wei smiled slightly, "But what do you mean by using Mashburn to defend our Da Yao?" ”

"Huh!" Riley smiled but didn't answer.

Of course, Li Wei knew what Riley was thinking, and the Knicks' tactics were temporarily named kite tactics, because the five of them were standing far away, as if flying a kite.

There are many variations of kite tactics, but usually in the changes, Da Yao stands at the top of the arc, as a simple three-point turret, and does not go inside.

The sharp-eyed Pat Riley saw at a glance that Da Yao was actually only playing a long-range shooter on the offensive end, no different from other three-point shooters, so he boldly sent outside players to mark the defense!

Then again, it's really too much of a loss to defend Da Yao with a center, who told him to stand outside the three-point line all the time and resolutely not go in?

But Riley didn't know that after a season of hard training, Da Yao's basic skills have been greatly improved, and he already has a certain ability to play inside singles. Li Wei didn't let him fight inside, because the tanks and meat shields in these years were too brute, one was more difficult to deal with than the other, and the 18-year-old Da Yao was still immature.

But if you take a 2.03 meter outside line to prevent Da Yao, it's too bad to take the village chief as a cadre!

Really, when I don't dare to play center singles?

"Tactic 75!" Li Wei shouted loudly.

In the current tactical system used by the Knicks, the 7 starts with the kite tactics, and the 71, 72, and 73 are several different variations of the kite tactics, of which 75 is the tactics that need the No. 5 position to attack.

When Da Yao heard that he was going to play the No. 75 tactic, he was immediately a little nervous. In such a crucial playoff game, Li Wei actually let him take the lead, which is too bold.

But the manager shouted, of course he had to execute. I saw this big center, who usually stood at the top of the arc, stepped forward and squeezed Mashburn towards the paint area!

Pat Riley's eyebrows furrowed.

Did the Knicks' Kite Center go down to the paint zone?

Can he play inside singles?

However, Riley is known as the "God Operator", and his calculation ability is naturally extraordinary. He asked Mashburn to defend against Da Yao, and he was also confident.

This 2.03-meter-tall small forward weighs up to 109 kilograms, is very strong, and can be topped by the average insider.

Da Yao wanted to play singles, so the Heat accompanied him, he pointed to Mashburn, and said loudly: "Defend him, can't let him score!" ”

Mashburn nodded, and didn't let him enter the paint area!

Although Da Yao is tall, he has not yet grown into a tank, and the strong Marsh can instinctively withstand it!

Da Yao was really resisted, and it could be seen that under the defense of Mashburn, he was a little uncomfortable!

However, at this time, he still reached for the ball, and Charlie Ward passed the ball to him!

After receiving the ball, Da Yao came to a turnaround jumper!

Mashburn resisted Da Yao, but he didn't expect Da Yao to be so flexible. Then again, even if he thought about it, there was no way, the height difference between the two was nearly 30 centimeters, and he had no other choice than to look at Yao Xing and sigh!

Swish!

Da Yao hit a precise two-point shot from a header in Mashburn!

0:2, the Knicks at home lead!

Pat Riley frowned, this big center is not only accurate for three-pointers in the open position, but also accurate for two-point shots?

Can you also jump on someone else's head?

Impossible, this rookie will never be so powerful!

This ball is a coincidence, Li Wei wants to use this kind of balloon to force me to change my defensive strategy, I can't be fooled!

Thinking of this, Riley said to Mashburn: "You push him, what are you doing so soft!" Defend him for me! ”

"Okay!" Mashburn could only nod.

The Heat attacked, and Mourning and Hardaway played a pick-and-roll. Da Yao didn't change his defense, and Charlie Ward was a beat slow after bypassing the screen, and was burst to the basket by Hardaway.

Nowitzki hurried over to make up for it, and Hardaway gave the ball to PJ Brown, who hit the board and scored.

2：2。

The Knicks offense, continuing to put on a kite tactical frame, the Heat still use Marsh to defend!

Nowitzki came over to help Da Yao block it, and Da Yao immediately cut in!

PJ Brown hesitated, but decided to defend Nowitzki, who was more threatening, so Mashburn had to go around the cover!

In fact, Mashburn was very fast, and as soon as Da Yao entered the paint area, he pounced. If the two are about the same height, then Da Yao really has no chance, but it's a pity that he is too short!

Receiving a pass from Charlie Ward from Marshburn's head, Da Yao easily slammed into the basket!

2:4, the Knicks, who are fighting at home, continue to lead!

The Heat attacked, and Hardaway passed the ball to Mourning.

Mo Ning's inside singles ability is very strong, and he can average 20 points per game this season, and in the face of Da Yao at this time, he squeezed in as soon as he made a force!

But Mo Ning squeezed in no problem, but he was too short, and when he wanted to cast, he couldn't find the angle at all, as if he would eat a hat at any angle!

"No matter, I'll shake you!"

After making a shaking turn, Mo Ning hooked his hand!

When Da Yao defended in the first two games, he ate Mo Ning's feints and was scored several times, and this time he also learned to be obedient. Timing it, his giant palm flew out!

"Bang!"

The No. 1 center in the NBA this season, who has a burst of defense, has eaten a sturdy hat!

The audience at Madison Square Garden applauded!

Garnett and Mashburn kept fighting for the ball under the big Yao's hat, and no one grabbed anyone, and then the referee awarded a scrum!

Garnett jumped up and slapped the ball into Charlie Ward's arms!

The Knicks attacked, and Mashburn defended Da Yao again!

Da Yao scored two goals in a row, and his mentality was also relaxed, and he squeezed to the inside line again, calmly playing small!

An elegant jumper as the Knicks center slashes two more points on Marshburn's head!

2：6！

"Alas!" Pat Riley sighed, knowing he couldn't play like this anymore.

If you continue to defend with Marshburn, Da Yao may have to hit a new career high!

"PJ, you and Jamal switch guards!" Riley shouted.

The Heat attacked, Tim Hardaway broke through the ball, and Marley hit a three-pointer, 5:6!

The Knicks attacked, and the Heat changed their defenses, with the 2.11-meter-tall PJ Brown defending Da Yao.

As an interior player, Brown is tall and has long arms, and he is also the player who can limit Da Yao the most in the Heat's starters!

As soon as Da Yao saw PJ Brown coming to defend, he knew that his mission had been accomplished, and he would not move if he stood outside the three-point line!

I don't do anything on the offensive end, but you have to give up an interior of the best defensive team to accompany me and do nothing, that's the containment, that's the role that the data can't reflect!

"Tactics 74, Dirk, it's up to you!" Li Wei shouted.

Nowitzki nodded, slashing diagonally from the left to the right to block Alan Houston.

Alan Houston is the Knicks' No. 1 scorer, a super shooter, with a terrifying 40% 3-point shooting rate this season, and the Heat will certainly not dare to let it go.

Nowitzki made such a block, and Mashburn immediately changed his defense and didn't give Houston a chance!

So Nowitzki blocked and dismantled, the Heat scored guard, and the shorter Marley chased after him, but he was still a beat slower!

Alonzo Mourning on the other side saw this and received the inside line in a hurry!

Then, the referee's whistle blew!

Mourning fouls, illegal defense!

Nowitzki hasn't received the ball yet, you can't defend one with Marley, under the current rules, this kind of defense is a foul!
