When the Heat asked for a timeout, and when the Knicks returned to the bench, Thibodeau was not idle, Thibodeau rearranged his defensive tactics, Starkey and Stephen Jackson exchanged defenses, Stephen Jackson went to defend Wade, and Starkey went to defend James Jones, who was less offensive. James Jones actually doesn't have the ability to start, put it on a strong team, James Jones's strength is also a role player who can occasionally play, but there is no way to do it in the Heat. Because the current Heat can enter the playoffs completely by two points, one is because the Heat is in the Eastern Conference, and the other is because the Heat has a guy named Wade in the zài.

This guy named Wade successfully brought the Heat into the playoffs with a non-human number this season, but it also laid a lot of hidden dangers for his future career.

And this year's Knicks can win 60 games is not a joke, although it will have more or less something to do with it in the Eastern Theater, but even so, it is enough to show how strong the Knicks are.

The reason why the Knicks have such results, first of all, Thibodeau is indispensable, and Thibodeau's arrival has greatly improved the team's defensive strength, which is the most important point. Because Thibodeau is a strict and crazy coach, although Chen Jiyuan and Thibodeau only see a slight disharmony because of this, it does not affect anything. Thibodeau and the assistant coaches brought by Thibodeau have been very helpful to the Knicks' players on the defensive end, and there is no doubt that Love has the potential to be a big killer on the offensive end, and now, although Lefu has more than 30 minutes of playing time, he has not shown his true character of killing on the offensive end, why is this?

Chen Jiyuan's storage is one aspect, on the other hand, it is because Lefu puts more energy on the defensive end, which is also the requirement of the head coach, that is, the requirements of Thibodeau, Thibodeau's first positioning of Le Fu is very clear, that is, the first choice of resistance on the defensive end, after all, Lefou's body is like a bear, and the strength is absolutely strong, which Lefu has an incomparable advantage. Moreover, Lefou's footsteps move slowly, so it is impossible to make up for Lefou's defense.

However, under Thibodeau's requirements and relationships, Lefou's strength on the defensive end is indeed very improved now, whether it is awareness, defensive top methods, and how to contribute his defensive strength in the team, these are all things that need to be taught by the head coach. If the head coach was Thomas at this time, it wouldn't have been like this. So the biggest credit for the Knicks becoming stronger is still to Thibodeau.

Chen Jiyuan's growth is also one of the reasons why the Knicks have become stronger, and now Chen Jiyuan is gradually improving on the defensive end. Whether it is the awareness of supplementing defense or the awareness of blocking to assist defense, with the increase in the number of games and the accumulation of experience, this is a process, slowly, Chen Jiyuan's power on the defensive end will become greater and greater.

In addition, both Sessions and Starkey have a certain amount of growth, which is also a considerable improvement in the Knicks' combat effectiveness.

Especially Starkey, this season's Starkey is definitely a star.

Starkey can average 21.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season, Starkey actually has a certain ability to assist, but in the period after Starkey played the ball, mistakes became Starkey's biggest problem, one is Starkey's three-point ability, these are the places that limit him, however, Starkey's number this season is enough for him to have the capital to shout that the Knicks will not sign the contract without a salary extension.

Sessions has also improved considerably, and the contract renewal cannot be small, otherwise it may not be retained. Sessions is averaging 14.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game this season. To be honest, Sessions' number is also quite good, and his strength is close to the level of a star. However, there is no talk about the renewal of the contract with Sessions, mainly because Sessions himself is not in a hurry, although Sessions will have to renew his contract after the end of this season.

And, the last point is the arrival of Stephen Jackson, which has strengthened the Knicks' always weak forward line. Last season, he could only rely on Wilson Chandler's small forward position, but this season has made a qualitative leap. Last season, the Knicks' small forward position was simply a dead end, the kind of Cheng dù who saw who bullied. Now it's finally time to turn over the serfs and sing. Although it is not a strong point, Stephen Jackson's existence zài, at least makes this point a place that is not weak.

To sum up, this is the main reason why the Knicks have been able to achieve 60 wins this season.

So. In fact, the strength of the Knicks and the Heat is really no longer at the same level. It can be said that the Knicks' promotion will definitely not be bad. There are not many surprises in 7 games in a series competition, and more of them will be won by strong teams. However, it is still possible for the Heat to win one or two games.

When the timeout ended, the players on both sides returned to the court, and the Heat's side returned to the court, but it didn't seem to be as good as before.

Wade was very uncomfortable under Stephen Jackson's defense, Stephen Jackson let go of the half-step distance when defending Wade, Wade was still more melancholy about this kind of defense, because Wade's three-point point was not good, Wade himself knew it, but today, Wade's jumper overall feel was not good, which was also seen from the game just now.

This ball, Wade's jump shot again, shot directly, Stephen Jackson could only try his best to step forward to interfere, but there was no way to cause substantial damage. However, Wade's goal still didn't go in. It does feel a little cold to the touch.

After Chen Jiyuan grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, the Knicks' offense did not score, and Starkey burst into the interior for a layup, but he did not score in the interference of O'Neal Jr.

On the Heat side, Udonis Haslem also missed a mid-range shot.

The two sides have been playing iron for a period of time, without scoring a point, and the time of the game passed like this, until the last one and a half minutes of the game, Chalmers on the Heat side finally shot a three-pointer, which was considered to be the opening of the Heat.

It's also awesome to say, there was only 1 minute and 36 seconds left in the first quarter, but the Heat only scored 5 points, on the one hand, the Knicks' defense was very tight. In particular, the defense against Wade was particularly tight. On the other hand, it is true that no one on the Heat side stepped up to score, and Wade had a bad hand and was beaten to the death. It's simply hard to contribute much to the team.

After the Knicks scored a successful goal for the Heat, they finally broke the long-term scoring drought, and the two teams broke the scoring drought together as if they had agreed. The Knicks also hit a three-pointer, and Sessions returned the favor to Chalmers from beyond the three-point line. 13:5。

Today's score was just too low.

The Heat still didn't seem to find the feeling of scoring, and after Chalmers scored a three-pointer, O'Neal Jr. singled Chen Jiyuan on the inside, a small hook, but the ball didn't go in. Chen Jiyuan once again protected the backcourt rebound.

The Knicks seem to have finally found how to attack, Chen Jiyuan is on the inside, and once again singles O'Neal Jr., which is also a small hook, although the ball jumped twice, but finally entered the basket. 15:5。

After receiving a ball, Wade finally tasted the feeling of scoring a goal for the first time in a long time, Wade broke through Stephen Jackson, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to make up for the defense, but in order to get a lost step, he directly passed Chen Jiyuan, and then made a layup with a low hand, Chen Jiyuan couldn't react at all, and really didn't keep up with Wade's footsteps, and by the time Chen Jiyuan reacted to block, it was too late. 15:7。

Chen Jiyuan once again singled O'Neal with his back, but before dribbling, Chen Jiyuan suddenly made a pass to the ground and gave the ball to Stephen Jackson who slipped to the bottom line, and Stephen Jackson received the ball and went down, directly avoiding the block of Udonis Haslem and scoring in the basketball. 17:7。

Wade once again wanted to rush into the interior with Udonis Haslem's block, but this revelation was seen through by Lefou, Lefu delayed appropriately, Stephen Jackson caught up with Wade, Wade didn't have a good chance, but he still forced the ball, Wade against Stephen Jackson's defense, direct jump shot, Stephen Jackson was not dry, and flew over Wade with all his might, but Stephen Jackson still interfered with the ball, and Wade's shot was missed. Starkey picked up the rebound that was knocked out by Chen Jiyuan and O'Neal Jr. Then the Run Mode began.

After halftime, Starkey walked directly from the right side, rushed into the inside, and planned to slip the bottom line, but Chalmers's return defense was also quite fast, but Starki didn't have Chalmers in his eyes at all, and jumped up directly, Chalmers also jumped, but in the air, Starkey pulled a lever, successfully dodged Chalmers, and then went to the basketball. 19:7。

After that, both sides played another iron each, and the first quarter of the game was over.

Today's score above is relatively low, in the end, it is the defense of the playoffs, and the Heat strangled Wade, which is a bit unplayable.

It took only 7 points in the entire quarter of the game, and the Heat were also drunk. This can be regarded as a record.

The lowest score in a single quarter of the playoffs. On April 6, 1997, the Mavericks led by 13 points in the first quarter and 14 points at halftime. But in the third quarter, the Mavericks scored 2 points and lost the game.
