Chapter 16 A Plate of Loose Sand
At the end of the first quarter, the Heat, who were playing away, led 32-20. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Beasley fired in the second half of the quarter, shooting 3-of-4 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to score eight points.
His mid-range pull-up jump shot made Chandler suffer a lot, D'Antoni was helpless, but he couldn't help it, the best defender on the Knicks wing was Chandler, even Chandler was so disgraced, and sending others would only die worse.
At this moment, how he wished that Ah Q could go back to before he was injured!
In the second quarter, the Heat will rest, and Spo is replaced by Cook, Livingston and others.
For the Knicks, Nate Robinson and Danilo Gallinari played.
The Heat attacked first, and Livingston hit Potato Nate Robinson Jr. in the low post, and the 1.75-meter dunk king suffered on the defensive end, but he made up for it with his strong body and gambling steals.
Livingston was still too thin, his game was in average shape, and he didn't move several times, and just as he was about to turn around and shoot a jumper, Nate Robinson quickly slapped the ball off.
After the break, the Knicks were still fast on the fast break, Chandler ran to the free throw line and pointed his hand to the sky, and Nate Robinson understood that the man was on the ball - an aerial relay full of violent aesthetics!
This dunk is destined to be in the top 10 of today's balls.
Coming back, Cook opened up and hit a three-pointer in the left bottom corner.
Then Marion also scored, and he slipped to the bottom line to get a clever pass from Livingston and smashed it in.
The Knicks don't fall behind on the offensive end, and rookie Gallinari is an excellent scorer, and although he has average ball handling, he is good at straight and foul shooting, as well as a beautiful three-point shot, which are all reasons why D'Antoni loves him.
And he is not the same as Bagnani's soft egg, both Italians, Bagnani will float on the outside, and he prefers to rush into the inside line and fight in close combat.
Marion was fouled twice on him and was substituted.
Nate Robinson is also difficult to defend, his step-back stride is huge, and the three-point accuracy is so accurate that Livingston does not dare to take a step, so he has to be close-fitting, but the close-fitting is easy to be passed by him with his speed advantage. If Livingston was still at his peak, it would just be able to restrain him, but now Livingston can only be ravaged by it.
After a few rounds, the score was gradually caught up by the Knicks, and Spo had to change to the starter.
The Heat have a lot of problems right now, lacking a center, and the bench is also the bottom of the league, and without Wade, the Heat are a fish belly team.
Riley also understands that he now has a lot of trading plans in his hands, most of which are based on Marion. O'Neal is gone, Mourning is retired, and he must find a way to find a reliable center for the team, otherwise Wade will not make the playoffs no matter how well he plays.
Today's live commentators are Doug Collins and Maeve Albert.
Collins commented: "The Heat's bench is really bad enough, if it hadn't been for the signing of Livingston before the start of the regular season, the Heat wouldn't have a qualified ball-handler on the bench!" I don't even know what Pat Riley was thinking, he was wasting Wade's youth! ”
Albert agreed, saying, "Pat Riley needs to consider trading for an All-Star center for his team, and I heard Marion doesn't want to be with the Heat anymore, isn't that right? Marion's strength is still there, take him to a center of the same grade, and then the Heat just wait for Beasley to grow up, I don't think it will take too long, after all, his instant combat power is also excellent, in this way, the Heat can quickly form a big three lineup, I don't think it will necessarily be inferior to the Green Shirts, after all, they are all older, and Wade's personal strength ranks in the top three in the league! ”
The commentators admired Wade, perhaps because his performance in the finals was so shocking.
Back in the game, Wade held the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, Beasley was under the basket and in the Gallinarika position, Marion was fouled three times, and he could only mention the power forward position.
The ball Wade missed a pull-up jumper, Beasley grabbed the rebound, and Gallinari was too thin to be his opponent.
The Knicks were all piled up when they were scrambling for rebounds, and now they were grabbed by Beasley, and the outside line leaked, and Beasley passed to Chalmers outside the three-point line, who was unguarded in front of him, and he aimed at the basket and hit a three-point shot.
Beasley's passing ability has gotten better as he has adapted to the intensity of the NBA, and his soul has always been that of a playmaking guard.
The Knicks attacked, Crawford wanted to stop the jump shot after covering it, but Wade saw that he intended to poke the ball away, David Lee picked up the ball and passed it to Crawford, at this time 24 seconds were almost up, Crawford took a deep breath, he forced a shot after two crotch dribbles outside the three-point line, and actually went in.
Chalmers defended too tightly and was awarded a foul.
3+1。
This goal is speechless.
Obviously, the time is almost up, and they all know that he wants to shoot, but he still can't prevent it, and he even has to pay a foul.
Beasley has seen Crawford's scoring ability now, no wonder this guy will become the person who plays the most 3+1 in history in the future, what a nerve knife!
Crawford made a solid free throw.
The Heat attacked, Chalmers dribbled across the half court, this time Wade stayed in the bottom corner and didn't move, after all, it is impossible for him to play every ball, otherwise he will be tired of something!
Beasley came out to catch the ball, and then he stood up high to respond.
The Heat don't have any inside tactics to respond to the ball, and most of them are blocking and breaking through the ball. Seeing that no one was running, Beasley was in trouble, so he had to shout, "Get moving!" Move it! Cover! Interspersed with running positions! ”
He didn't make much of a noise when he shouted like this, only James Jones slipped into the corner, but he didn't get out of the way.
Beasley sighed, he decided to come on his own.
Defending him was Gallinari, although he was not as tall as Gallinari, but the strength of the two was not on the same level, Beasley forced an arch into the penalty area, and then a turn-over jumper, but unfortunately it was missed.
Next, the Heat's offensive end was not smooth, and everyone's shots frequently hit the iron. On the Knicks' side, Crawford scored a lot of difficult shots.
At halftime, the Heat's lead was eroded to just three points, 56-53.
Back in the locker room, Beasley complained dissatisfiedly, "I said, we're going to play as a unit, can't you guys do some off-ball pick-and-rolls, off-ball runs or something?" ”
Only Marion ignored him, and he sneered at Beasley, "Rookie, you think you're the boss?" Why do you want us to listen to you? ”
Beasley gave him a blank look and ignored him, this Marion is simply a clown!
Spo was still outside for an interview and didn't come back, Chalmers walked up to Beasley and whispered, "Michael, don't say that again, everyone will be unhappy, no one wants to be ordered." ”
"But I'm not commanding you!" Beasley was puzzled.
Chalmers said patiently: "I understand, Michael, I know you don't mean to order, but the truth is that people don't want to listen to you, or to listen to a rookie, you know?" ”
Beasley was speechless.
Wade sat in his chair, his eyes closed, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
This kind of problem in the team has something to do with him, he is not the kind of person who emphasizes the big picture, he likes to solve problems with individual ability when he has physical strength.
But the biggest factor is the head coach, the iron-blooded coach Riley retreated into the background, and the new appointment is the little-known Spoelstra, everyone has only been together for a long time, no one will be convinced, they are just polite to this puppet coach on the surface.
If Riley is still around, not to mention the influence, Riley's devil training camp can make them creepy. During the game, Riley was also the master of the word, and even Wade was very obedient when he was there.
So, in the final analysis, it's actually Spo who can't control everyone, and the team is like a plate of loose sand.
