Chapter 244: Anti-Guest

On April 24, the third game of the New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat will be played at the "American Airlines Arena" in Miami, which is a white-shrouded arena.

In anticipation of the crucial third game of the playoffs, the Miami Arena has been refreshed inside and out, many of which are close to the specifications of the '06 Finals.

The two main streets to the south and north of the stadium have been hung with huge banners printed with "White Hot" and posters of the stars wearing white home jerseys.

Driving into the parking lot under the stadium, many corners are also marked with "white hot" signs.

Inside the arena, the plasterers are carefully painting the exterior wall of the players' tunnel, all with white paint.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the inside of the stadium, just like in the 06 playoffs, every seat has been covered with white covers, and the whole arena looks like a sea of white......

All of this is to fully create the "white-hot" atmosphere of the playoffs.

The reason why the Heat are so attentive is not unrelated to Miami's special fan structure.

Because Miami has no winters, many wealthy New Yorkers choose to buy property here in order to move here in the winter, and because of this, the city is home to a large number of New York fans. Every time the Knicks come here to play on the road, New York fans will meet to cheer on the team, so there will be a situation where the Heat star is booed at home.

It's the same today, New Yorkers have money, and tickets are bought in front-row positions, which makes the home players feel less at home.

The Knicks are making the playoffs for the first time in five years this season. New York fans are also quite hard, and today it is conservatively estimated that the "American Airlines Center" can accommodate 20,000 fans. At least five thousand New York fans were mixed in.

The Heat have been wary of them for a long time, requiring them to wear white jerseys when entering the court.

However, after the New York fans mixed in, they immediately took out Zhang Yu's jersey from their bags, and some of the bulls even changed their sneakers on the spot.

The conspicuous "Rabbit Second Generation", the orange jersey mixed all over the field, made Miami people want to vomit blood! The "white wave" competition they worked so hard to create was already ruined before it even began.

After a Knicks player enters the court. was also shocked, and the orange that was close to thirty percent of the audience was what kind of trouble?

There weren't so many fans in New York, but it would be hard to add Chinese. There are more than 100,000 Chinese Americans in Miami, and there are only 1,000 or 2,000 people who come, which is enough to make the "white waves" in the American Airlines Center even less.

The Heat team plays in such a home court, and the morale can still be high, which is against the sky. The morale of the whole team is low. Home field advantage is not at all, this is a piece of......

Zhang Yu felt the home atmosphere in the away team at the beginning, which felt refreshing!

"Those bastard media still say that we can't beat the hot team, and Zhen Nyima is talking nonsense with his eyes open!" Zhang Yu despised the media who sang about them before the game, and they should have come to the American Airlines Center to see how naïve their previous thoughts were.

The reporters in the press section, except for those from Asia and New York, had really embarrassed expressions.

They really couldn't have imagined that the home stadium of the Heat would become like this. Isn't this Nima a bully? How great are rich people?

Zhang Yu and his players played in such an away atmosphere, and their state was ridiculously good. Today's defense of the Heat team is much better than the previous two games, and the pressure on the outside line is great, but these can't resist the Knicks' explosive state, and their two nerve knives are most suitable for rioting in such a game.

Nate. Robinson and Crawford played the best game of the series in the first quarter of the game, Zhang Yu didn't play much at all, and the Knicks relied on these two to take a 10-point lead in the first quarter.

With a score of 32:22, the Knicks scored 32 points in the first quarter, and the Heat's defensive line was once again smashed to pieces.

It's really not that the Heat team is incompetent, it's really that the Knicks' offense is too sharp, Little Potato shot 5 of 6 in the first quarter, Crawford shot 4 of 5, and the two combined with free throws to score 25 points.

After the first quarter, the mentality of the Hot Team players has begun to panic!

If they lose this game, they will fall behind 0-3, and it is unrealistic that no team in NBA history has ever lost three games in a playoff row and then turned a defeat into a victory.

Wade stood up in the second quarter, and the Flash's breakthrough today was more tightly defended, Zhang Yu only prevented him from breaking through and letting him shoot, so the targeted defense effect was excellent. Wade was fast, but he didn't have an absolute advantage over Zhang Yuxing, and the little rabbit was not slow, and his zonal defense made it difficult for Wade to get good shots within 12 feet throughout the game. The Knicks refused to let Wade shoot within 12 feet today, and the two interior players frequently came up to help Zhang Yu defend and drive the Flash out of the area.

In the second quarter, Wade began to try to shoot on the outside, which was a gambling offense as a last resort, but fortunately, Wade had a high three-point shooting rate today, and in the second quarter, he shot 3 of 4 in a single quarter, and he scored 15 points by relying on long-range shots that he was not good at, maintaining the team's decline.

"Continuing to defend the interior, our defense is within 15 feet and we just need to watch out for their outside shooters. Wade and Beasley can let them shoot from the outside, and it doesn't matter if they shoot accurately, if the two of them can shoot us today, then let them do it. Offense, I'm going to say offense! Zhang, you only scored 5 points in the first half, and you have to step up and finish them in the second half! ”

D'Antoni spoke impassionedly, talking, very German mustache, and looking at his mustache, maybe he was a Nazi, Zhang Yu thought with full malice.

He only scored 5 points in the first half, but got 5 assists, and the score was less because his teammates felt better, but in the second half of the second quarter, the feel of the two convulsions began to decline, and the second half still had to look at his table.

The score was 60:48, and the Knicks led by 12 points at the end of the first half, which was a very safe score for the Spurs, but not enough for the Knicks.

Wade played 22 minutes in the first half and only had a two-minute break. It was the situation on the pitch that forced him to stay on the pitch all the time.

Without him, the Heat would have been unable to bear it for a long time.

Beasley had a good second half of the regular season, but he was defended by Wallace in the playoffs. Then he was mentioned to the No. 4 position, and was replaced by Kenyon. Martin is completely limited and still can't find his form. Kenyon Martin's experience combined with his excellent movement speed allowed him to defend not only Beasley but Wade on the inside.

Wade's touch also began to decline in the third quarter, and outside shooting was not his area of expertise, and it was impossible to be accurate for the whole game.

Zhang Yu began to run frequently without the ball in the second half. After receiving the ball, he changed the pass-first style of the first half and had the opportunity to shoot immediately.

Today his shot was just normal, but it was enough. He shot 51.5 percent from the field in the regular season, and his normal performance was half the shooting percentage, which was enough to cause a serious kill to the Heat.

Zhang Yu scored 10 points in a single quarter and ended in the third quarter. The score of the two teams has reached 85:70. The Heat trailed the Knicks by as many as 15 points.

The voice of the Knicks fans at this time has temporarily suppressed the more Miami fans, and the score on the court makes the real home fans in no mood to continue to shout, this point difference is in the last quarter, and the probability of wanting to turn the game is too low. The Knicks have a lot of players who can score, and even if they can't defend against the Hot Team, as long as they have no problem attacking themselves, they can't catch up.

The Miami fans were right, and Wade didn't rest again in the third quarter. He had to rest for two minutes at the start of the fourth quarter, but those two minutes extended the margin to 20 points.

Quentin. Richardson came up in the fourth quarter. Consecutive breakouts James. Jones.

Ah Q's breakthrough ability has declined compared to the Suns, but his opponent is really not a guy with excellent defense, although he is very positive, but the defect in strength cannot be made up for with positivity.

Richardson is also in the final year of his contract this season, and his contract is $8 million this season, and it is impossible to get such a big contract next season.

He played just over 20 minutes in the regular season and 10 minutes in the playoffs, and it will be difficult to get a contract cut in half next season. If he wants to make more money, the playoff performance can give him more capital, so as soon as he has the opportunity to play, of course, he has to play with his life.

Richardson scored two points on a driving layup, then interspersed with basketballs from the baseline, scored two points with an immediate dunk, and also drew a foul. In this minute, he relied on the breakthrough to score five points, and the score of the two teams instantly increased to 20 points.

Heat fans didn't expect that it was not Zhang Yu or the Knicks who broke them, but a substitute player who didn't have much playing time.

"Rich is good!" Without exception, the reporters in the press area can only shout this sentence in their hearts.

Wade came on the court at 10:05, and the Knicks did not make targeted arrangements and continued to let the bench players play on the court.

In the 7th minute of the game, the Knicks defended, Birdman Anderson blocked Beasley's layup on the inside, and Chandler got the basketball and immediately passed it to Little Potato.

Nate. Robinson rode solo to defend Wade and Chanmos, keeping the ball firmly in control and finally scoring with a difficult change layup.

After throwing the basketball, Xiao Tudou couldn't control his body and rushed into the reporter's area, like a small meat ball, knocking a group of unlucky reporters on their backs!

With a score of 95:75, the Knicks still led by 20 points.

Zhang Yu then replaced Crawford, Wallace replaced Richardson, and Ned Anthony let the main players rest enough before bringing them all in.

Except for Kenyon. Martin temporarily replaced Birdman Anderson, and the Knicks' starting lineup was only substituted in the seventh minute.

As soon as Zhang Yu came on the court, he used cross cover, cut into the basket empty-handed, received a pass and dunked with both hands, scored his 20th point, and also pulled the difference to 22 points.

Wade was panting, his hands were on his hips, and his eyes were full of unwillingness!

The Flash has scored 30 points today, but no one from his teammates has scored more than 20, not even more than 15.

"I want stronger teammates!" Wade knew that there was no hope of winning today's game, so he could only shout helplessly in his heart. (To be continued......)
