In addition, the Cavaliers also managed to break through to the basket and meet the Pistons in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In the West, the Mavericks will play against the Spurs, and the Clippers will face the Suns, who have fought the Lakers for seven games.

The second round of the playoffs doesn't start until the first round is completely over, and the first game between the Knicks and the Heat starts in Miami on May 8.

Among the Eastern teams, the Heat are probably the biggest sufferers of the Knicks, they can recruit as many players as the Knicks, but the structure is more reasonable than the Knicks, balanced inside and outside, and can attack and defend.

The Knicks have been discussing ways to deal with the Heat in the past few days.

When we met last season, it was Lehi who went to change Wade, and the effect was not bad.

But the Heat are now starting Antoine Walker as a small forward, and if they switch defenses, others may not be able to handle Antoine Walker's size.

For Wade's defense, in the end, the Knicks decided to follow the method of Arenas and conduct a wheel battle.

However, Wade is not Arenas after all, and the Heat are much stronger than the Wizards, and Antoine Walker, who Lehi opposes, is just the Heat's choice after Wade and O'Neal, even if Lehi can freeze him, it is far from being limited to Jamison.

Exactly how it will be will be found in the competition.

Because the Knicks' game ended relatively early, they also maintained their full physical strength.

Before the game, Marbury sounded the alarm to Eddie Curry with a straight face, "Eddie, it's up to you later, O'Neal is 34 years old, you have to cheer up." ”

"Stephen, don't do this, I've been fully upgraded, it's good that you all trust me." Eddie Curry lit up his big thick elbow, big is big, but unfortunately the fat is also wrapped in a layer.

For Eddie Curry, Lehi and the others don't have much to do, this guy is a little lazy and not so strong, but for the Knicks, he can really support the firepower of the inside.

If it weren't for Eddie Curry's lack of strength in his heart, Lehi really wanted Marbury to put on a black face every day to supervise.

The Heat lost seven games to the Pistons last year and came this year with determination.

For the Knicks, they don't particularly value it, even if they played seven games with the Knicks last year, but that was just a light opponent, they upgraded the team this year, and they only have the championship in their eyes.

Their first matchup kicked off at the American Airlines Arena, where the Heat won the jump ball and Jason Williams scored first on a shot from Haslem under cover.

The Knicks' offense was first given to Eddie Curry, who was squeezed by O'Neal fiercely, and then passed the ball to Lehi on the side, who passed Antoine Walker in one step and hit the shot.

Antoine Walker's defense Lehi has been seen for a long time, and it is even worse than Jamison, as long as Lehi accelerates, he can definitely leave the opponent behind.

It's just that the Heat team has a stronger interior line, including the fierce defense of Haslem and the big shark who can also viciously send out big hats, if the shot is not decisive enough, even if you rush in, you will be disturbed.

The Heat also wanted to play inside, although the previous score was an outside shot, but the next ball was as much as possible to the inside, including Haslem pulling out, and then Antoine Walker pouting under the basket.

However, Antoine Walker can also bully opponents with insufficient strength in the low post, and even Stojakovic can't move much, let alone Lehi.

As for the three-point shooting style that goes to the outside, Antoine Walker is no more difficult to defend than Jamison.

After entering the playoffs, Lehi's assists became fewer, and many times it was an extremely tough offense, and in this game he met Antoine Walker, who was not very good defensively, and Lehi's desire to attack was even stronger.

After hitting the mid-range shot, Lehi shook off Walker and hit a three-pointer from an assist from Francis.

On the Heat side, O'Neal is a little older after all, and he is slow to enter the state, Wade saw that the situation was not right, and immediately entered the attack mode, first hitting two points with a quick stop, and then causing Marbury's foul to stand on the free throw line.

However, before the Heat were ready, Lehi had already scored nine points, forcing the Heat to call a timeout, replacing Antoine Walker and letting James Posey come on the court to mark Lehi.

In terms of defense, James Posey is much more dedicated than Antoine Walker, following Lehi closely all the time, but Lehi's physical advantage is still there, carrying Posey to squeeze two steps inside, and then turning to the middle and taking two horizontal steps, and hitting the front shot again.

Under Lehi's ferocious offense, Marbury and Francis also got more opportunities to attack, Eddie Curry also hit O'Neal hard, and the Knicks played well in the first quarter, leading by double digits on the opponent's home court.

Rotate things and Crawford has also shown his attacking ability, and he is now feeling more and more stable.

It wasn't until the middle of the second quarter that the Heat suddenly woke up, and under the leadership of Wade's continuous breakthrough points, the Heat's offense began to normalize.

O'Neal also found his groove after returning to the court after a few minutes of rest, not only hitting an offensive shot, but also making two fouls by Eddie Curry in a short period of time to restore the Heat's interior advantage.

Now that the Knicks can top O'Neal, it is Eddie Curry, who is not very reliable defensively, and Marshin Gortat is still a little lacking in strength, so he can only come up and support a few minutes.

Because Alonzo Mourning, the Heat's No. 5 backup, is also strong, Channing Frye will have a hard time at center for some of the usual rotations, just allowing Eddie Curry to play more minutes while keeping fouls under control.

Previously, Marbury would tell Eddie Curry that the team predicted the situation on the inside.

Many problems are clearly seen by everyone, but it is not easy to solve, in the face of the Heat, what Li Hai can do is to score more, and then at the critical moment to limit Wade, the problem of the inside line, he can't help.

When he came back on the pitch, he also used his position to score.

The score was tied in the second quarter, and the Knicks still maintained the lead.

At halftime, everyone actively expressed their opinions, firstly because they took the lead and strengthened their confidence, and secondly, because the Heat were strong opponents, which made everyone more excited.

"It would be nice to add a break and find a way to create a foul on O'Neal, his movement has weakened now."

"Don't make bad ideas, we can't mess around, even if O'Neal's strength declines, it's an All-Star level."

The good news is that no matter what the opinions are, everyone's fighting spirit is very full. (To be continued.) )
