Limaty Conlon was replaced by Pat Riley.

This is another big man on the Heat's inside, 2.08 meters tall, white, and has some rebounding ability. Although not as tall as Coswell, he has relatively good mobility skills.

Riley didn't expect Marty Conlon to defend the big Z, but was ready to take advantage of the slow movement of the big Z to play big and win with a small run!

"Run, run!" Riley shouted.

"Hold down the speed, hold down the speed!" Li Wei shouted.

This is a very funny scene, Li Wei, who likes to change to the bench at every turn, makes the whole team slow down and follow the rhythm of Big Z, while Pat Riley, who pays attention to defense and emphasizes discipline, makes the team run fast!

This is also something that can't be helped, the Heat team has no one inside, and Riley can only count on the outside shooter group. Small fights big, only by using the speed is easy to take advantage!

And the Knicks have the unrivaled big center of Big Z, and the Heat is unbeatable inside, so they don't have to run crazy with the opponent, just score every goal solidly!

The closer you get to the basket, the more accurate your shot will be. If the Knicks can hit a high percentage and put the ball in the basket, they can use the opponent's serve time to calmly retreat. Although the Heat team has piled up a group of talented shooters, they can't grab defensive rebounds, and trying to run and shoot is tantamount to a fool's dream!

The Heat attack, shoot and hit the iron!

The Knicks attacked, and Big Z scored 2 points on Marty Conlon's head!

13:13 Flat!

The Heat serve, Hardaway throws one, turns around and scores 2 points on Marty Conlon's head!

１５：１５！

Then Marshburn struck the iron, and Big Z showed off a pull-up layup on Marty Conlun's head!

１７：１５！

Heat fans were stunned.

A 2.21-meter center can also play such a flexible pull-up layup? You're too much of a bully, aren't you?

Riley burst into tears for a moment and had to replace Marty Conlon and PJ Brown!

Then, Big Z singled PJ Brown again, 19:15!

The fans booed wildly!

Costas said: "Big Z feels really smooth today, scoring again and again, this is the 16th point, right?" ”

"It reminds me of the '95 playoffs, when the Utah Jazz had the second-best record in the league, and center Spencer was injured and was eliminated by the Rockets in the first round. In the first game of that series, Big Dream was like a divine help, scoring 45 points! ”

"I also remember that the Jazz starting center was James Donaldson. Donaldson is a very good guy, 2.18 meters tall, but he's too old, almost 40 years old, right? ”

Isiah Thomas said: "So Sloan replaced him, and let the 2.06-meter-tall Adam Keefe, Tom Chambers and others play the center, but no one can stop the big dream!" ”

Doug Collins said: "The Heat don't even have an interior line as high as Donaldson, but the big Z is higher than the big dream, which is really too difficult to prevent!" ”

In fact, the speed of Big Z is still slightly slow, and it can't be compared with stars such as Olajuwon and O'Neal at the peak. If the Heat can wrap up Big Z like those teams in later generations like Da Yao, then Big Z will also be like Da Yao, with a lot of mistakes.

But the rules do not allow joint defense, and the referee's whistle is stricter today, and after the Knicks are empty, the other players of the Heat can only stand at the top of the arc and watch Big Z get in a good position, and then wait for Big Z to receive the ball before they can run to encircle and suppress.

With this time difference, Big Z's set of actions has risen, and no one can stop him, and he abuses vegetables so crookedly!

The commentators were praising Big Z, but Li Wei felt that Big Z's speed was starting to slow down, so he decisively replaced him.

Only by maintaining physical strength can we always be efficient, and Li Wei doesn't want the efficiency of the second half of the big Z to be reduced!

Big Ben came on the court and followed the Knicks' shooters and the Heat to exchange small balls. It's a pity that both sides don't feel very good in this game, so they can only fight defense, and the sound of iron comes and goes!

The difference between the Knicks and the Heat is that the Heat team Mourning is not there, and the outside line can't be opened or can only rely on the outside line.

Pat Riley, who seeks innovation and change, or can only treat dead horses as live horse doctors, played PJ Brown's inside singles for a while at the beginning of the second quarter, but the effect was very poor. This 2.11-meter-tall guy can't blow up Big Ben like Big Z beats him!

The Knicks are different, in the second half of the second quarter, Big Z returned to the court, and the Heat team cried and howled again, a lamentation!

In the third quarter, the Heat's shooters found their groove and began to chase points frantically. Immediately afterwards, Li Wei was expelled from the game because he complained to the referee and received a second technical foul!

Costas said: "Coach Li is too uncalm, and being expelled from the game in such a life-and-death battle will hurt the team too much!" ”

Isiah Thomas said: "Still too young. ”

Doug Collins said, "Don't everyone say Coach Lee is a puppet? He was ejected, and Chuck Daley went straight to the game, which is a good thing for the Knicks! ”

"Hahahaha." Costas and Thomas laughed together.

For the Knicks, Li Wei's ejection from the game is indeed a good thing, because he exchanged his appearance for a fair blow from the referee - PJ Brown's fifth foul!

PJ Brown, who committed five fouls, shrank on the court, and Big Z played more and more smoothly!

In the fourth quarter, the veteran Chuck Daley continued to put pressure on the referees, and Brown was fouled with six fouls!

"Alas!"

When Brown went off the court, Pat Riley looked up to the sky and sighed, the Heat really had no one to stop Big Z this time!

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if Riley has all kinds of strategies in his heart, what can he do without soldiers?

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Knicks beat the Heat 98-81.

Tim Hardaway had 21 points and eight assists, Brown had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Mashburn had 18 points.

On the Knicks' side, Big Z came off the bench and has been stumbling inside, shooting 16 of 22 in the end, in addition to 8 of 10 free throws, and scored a season-high 40 points alone, leading the Knicks to victory in this life-and-death battle!

Alan Houston scored 22 points and Oakley grabbed 13 rebounds, but Ben, who played less minutes, was more ferocious, 14 rebounds!

Costas said: "It's incredible, Knicks super rookie Ilgoskas put on a gorgeous show for us tonight and led the team to a black seven!" ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "I can't imagine that Pat Riley, a famous coach of a generation, will be out of the first round!" ”

Doug Collins said: "Riley was out of the first round two years ago, when he took over the Heat and finished eighth in the East, and ended up in the first round against the Chicago Bulls, who had 72 wins. ”

Costas said: "Haha, Phil Jackson must have been very happy when he saw Riley's team so bad!" ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "But it's not two years ago, and Pat Riley's Heat isn't the same team it was two years ago. They are third in the East in terms of record and second in the East in terms of ranking, but they were blackened by the rebuilt Knicks in the first round! ”

Doug Collins said: "It's amazing how young the Knicks are, I can't imagine what kind of team they're going to be in a year or two!" ”

"Last summer, Coach Lee rebuilt the team, which drew a lot of criticism. Now it seems that as long as they retain the core lineup of Garnett, Big Z, and Houston, they will be quite competitive for the next ten years! ”
