Chapter 337: The Finals

The interior has a clear advantage, but the Knicks' main offensive point is always shifted to the outside, after all, Nash, Anthony and J.R. Smith on the outside are all players with super offensive ability, and the firepower they show on the court is incomparable to the current lineup on the Heat.

The Heat's current perimeter players on the court are Ray Allen, Wade and James. Among them, Wade turned out to be the most unstable point on the outside of the Heat.

Wade's performance this season is a little disappointing, he can only barely maintain 20+ points in the regular season, and in the playoffs, Wade is difficult to even average 15 points per game, which is a bit incredible for a superstar like Wade.

It is precisely because of Wade's slump that the Heat have played a little difficult in the playoff series, and when they met the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, they were dragged into the tiebreaker by the Knicks.

However, despite this, Wang Meng feels that the Heat have a better chance of winning the game and advancing to the finals.

Knicks and Heat, these two teams are compared, Wang Meng personally thinks that the Knicks are easier to deal with, the absolute core of the team, James and Anthony, it must be James who is stronger than Anthony, which is actually a recognized fact since they were selected into the NBA in 03, although Anthony has finished blowing James in offensive means, but James is a trick that eats all over the world, and it is useless for you to have a temper.

Not to mention anything else, the Hornets' Wallace still prefers to defend Anthony among James and Anthony, because Anthony will always have a certain degree of decline in statistics under his defense, but James has not.

As for players in other positions, the Heat also has a certain advantage, although Wade has been in the doldrums this season, who dares to underestimate the Heat's top scorer at the beginning? Once he smoked the wind, it was still a rhythm that no one could stop.

And there is a very important reason why it is easier to play the Knicks, that is, the core of the Knicks' tactical system is Nash, and Nash is opposite Wang Meng, although Wang Meng is not sure to completely prevent Nash, but effectively contain Nash, so as to contain the Knicks's tactical layout, Wang Meng is still confident. On the other hand, the Heat's main tactics now are on James, Wang Meng is a point guard, should he let him defend James? Since his height has been increased to 1.98 meters, this is not impossible, but Wang Meng's physical fitness is too different from James after all, and if he wants to prevent James' breakthrough, he must open an instant explosion, which Wang Meng can't bear.

The game continued, and due to the Knicks' strong outside firepower, they were still pressing the Heat at first, but as the game got longer and longer, the Heat players also broke out.

Among them, Wade is the first to bear the brunt, as the Heat's Big Three, he has been questioned in the playoffs, which feels very bad, Wade's slump is not entirely because of the state, his leg injury has not been better, and he has to apply ice packs before every game to reduce the pressure. The pain in his knee prevented him from playing to the fullest on the court. But this does not mean that Wade has been sinking, and at the moment when the Heat are in danger, Wade has finally stepped up.

With back-to-back forced breakaways and an outside three-point shot, Wade's sudden outburst allowed the Heat to catch up in just a few minutes.

It is the Knicks' Jr Smith who defends Wade, not to mention the Knicks' defensive tactics, just Jr Smith, does he have defense? Perhaps, but for a top All-Star like Wade, it's almost negligible.

With Wade's outburst, the Heat's offensive rhythm has also returned, on the contrary, the Knicks' offense has some minor troubles.

As a result, the Knicks were completely in trouble, and just after halftime, they were already 15 points behind the Heat.

Of course, for a fast-break team like the Knicks, the 15-point difference is not a huge gap, as long as it is played smoothly, it will soon be able to catch up, but the Heat did not give the Knicks this opportunity to chase points, James Wade and the two of them worked together to resist the Knicks' counterattack, until the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks still failed to catch up with the score.

Heat 137: Knicks 129, the tie-break between the two sides ended like this. James Wade and the two combined to score 60 points to lead the Heat to defeat the Knicks and advance to the Finals, which is also the third year that the Heat have reached the Finals after forming the Big Three.

Although the Knicks lost, Anthony lost and did not lose, he scored a game-high 45 points in this game, but there was no way to help the team win, the Knicks want to win the championship, and they still need to continue to run in.

After watching the game, Wang Meng also had to admit that the game between these two teams was indeed very good-looking, and after the two teams that also focused on fast attack met, such an offensive battle was indeed the most eye-catching of all NBA games. And not only that, whether it is the Heat who won or the Knicks who lost the game, in terms of the overall strength of the team, they are not weaker than the Spurs, Lakers and other strong teams. Especially the Heat, Wade's strong outburst today made Wang Meng's heart ring the alarm bell, don't look at this girl has been playing soy sauce in the playoffs, but the combat effectiveness that broke out at this critical moment really makes people have to pay attention to it.

In this way, the team for the 2013 playoffs finals was determined, and the Hornets vs Heat were another predictable fierce battle.

The first home stop of the two sides is still the Hornets, the home-and-away order of the playoff finals is 232, and the first home is based on the regular season record, the Hornets' 73-9 record makes Wang Meng and others never suffer in the home round.

As the finals, this game has certainly managed to attract the attention of fans all over the world, and major TV stations in the United States, as well as China's Tianchao Channel 5, have broadcast the super battle between the Hornets and the Heat.

"Why did these two teams meet again?" O'Neill shook his head a little boredly and began to speak his opinion. "There have been 32 consecutive wins in the regular season vs 29 consecutive wins, is it necessary to watch it again in the finals?"

"There's no way around it, who calls these two teams in the West and the East? One is the longest 36-game winning streak in league history, and the other is the third-longest 29-game winning streak in league history. Such a team should be the champion in other seasons, but it is a pity that only one of them can be the championship this year. Smith laughed.

"Compared with this, what I pay more attention to is what Wang Meng and Wade are talking about now?" Barkley was not interested in the mess O'Neal said, but was interested in Wang Meng and others who were warming up on the field. "You say, could Wang Meng be threatening Wade and the others? If I were him, I would definitely say something like: Hey! Boy, if you don't want to fly out like O'Neal, just let me win this year's championship! ”

O'Neill's face suddenly turned green, and the fact that he was thrown over the shoulder by Wang Meng seemed to be a shame for his life.

Ross Barkley speculated, but the actual situation on the field was completely different.

"Wang Meng, do you remember that bet we made in London? Why didn't you invite us to dinner this time?! "Wade Xingshi ran over like Wang Meng to fight, followed by James and Bosh, the two iron buddies.

"Come on." Although Wade is 30 years old and is definitely Wang Meng's senior, Wang Meng does not have much respect for this senior. "At most, our bet will play the following role in the regular season, and you still want to take advantage of this in the playoffs? There are no doors, and besides, you still dare to eat in other parts of New Orleans? Even if I had taken you, you would have been buried alive by the New Orleans fans. ”

Wade and the others immediately shrank their necks when they heard this, if it were a New Orleans fan, it seemed that it was really possible to do such a thing.

"Why aren't our Miami fans so enthusiastic?" Wade is extremely depressed, the Miami Heat may not be a huge team that has always been in the market, but the city where it is located Miami is indeed a big city, and it is often difficult for fans in big cities to remain loyal, which is the same whether it is the New York Knicks or the Miami Heat.

Wade came over to say this, in fact, it was just a greeting, although the two teams are now in the Finals, the atmosphere is more tense, but after all, not every team in the NBA is enemies, and no one needs to make the relationship between each other very stiff because of the game. Because no one can guarantee whether the two sides will be in a hurry as the game progresses, so greeting and blessings before the game is the best way.

Monty passed the starting line-up, and the starting line-ups of both sides appeared on the big screen.

The Hornets are still the same lineup for 10,000 years, Wang Meng, Tony Allen, Wallace, Gasol, Oden.

In contrast, the Heat's lineup has undergone a lot of adjustments, with Chalmers, Wade, James, Haslem, and Bosh. Kidd didn't play as the starting point guard, and the tie-break in the Eastern Conference Finals was really a lot of pressure on a veteran like Kidd, and the Heat's original starting point guard Chalmers was finally able to try his hand at starting again.

Seeing this starting list, Wang Meng's brows furrowed slightly, the starting lineup of the Heat means that their bench will be composed of Kidd, Ray Allen, Battier, Miller and Birdman Anderson.

"It's a bit hard to deal with." Standing on the field, Wang Meng thought secretly.
