Chapter 245: The Balance of the Alliance

In 1997, the Heat first fell behind 1:3, then won three games in a row, and finally defeated the Knicks 4:3.

The incident occurred in the Eastern Conference semifinals, when the Knicks were originally leading 3-1, but they were hated by the opponent due to the lack of players: Ewing "Orangutan" was suspended in Game 5, and Ewing and Allan were banned in Game 6. Houston both missed, and Game 7 was missing P.J. Brown, Starks and Larry. Johnson, how can the Broken Division be invincible? In the end, I could only watch the Heat "usurp" succeed.

But now it seems unlikely that they will want to repeat the comeback, and the Knicks have no suspension and no injuries.

The total score in the first round was 0:3, and it was not surprising that the Knicks would advance, but the Knicks were able to sweep the Heat team to advance, and few people had such crazy ideas before the game.

After the match, Zhang Yu seemed to feel a little incredulous at the post-match press conference, and said to reporters in a surprised tone: "We are ready to fight hard until the seventh game, but the situation has developed beyond our expectations. But we won't relax, no one wants to be the first unlucky guy to be turned over 3-0, and we will do our best to prepare for the fourth game. ”

His words made the Miami media even more depressed, Zhang Yu did not look empty immediately after leading 1:3 like Maddie at the beginning, and the rabbit was more cautious at this time.

As the saying goes, what kind of boss has what kind of little brother, the core of the Knicks is not careless, and the little brothers dare not take it lightly, this is the role that an excellent core should play, Duncan, James, Kobe. They are all excellent stars, and Zhang Yu is undoubtedly the best one now.

The Knicks didn't return to New York after Game 3. Their next game is on April 27, with only one day off in between, and the whole team stays in Miami to wait for the fourth game.

James. Dolan was bleeding and booked a room for them in a five-star hotel in Miami Beach, and the treatment was very good.

The next morning, Zhang Yu got up and opened the curtains, and the window was an endless blue sea. Breathe in the fresh air, the whole person immediately feels comfortable, and has the urge to come.

"Hey. Taylor, it's been so hard for you to accompany my parents to New York for the past two days. Zhang Yu looked at the blue sea and made a phone call. While watching the time. Preparing to pick up Xia Wei and Ai Yue'er at the airport.

"It's a small thing, by the way, yesterday I took your parents to Chinatown, to the restaurant we always go to, your dad told me that the pot is dog meat, don't worry, when you come back. I'm not going to kill you! "Taylor. Swift's voice sounded trembling with anger, and Zhang Yu heard it. Immediately turn off your phone and add the other person to the blacklist.

Taylor. Swift found that the phone couldn't get through, and he was so angry that he wanted to fly directly to Miami and take the damn guy out and beat him up!

"God, such a cute animal, they can't bear to eat it?" The five-haired girl was resentful in her heart, but when she thought of the deliciousness of the dog meat, she couldn't help but patronize it again for a while.

"Damn, there must be a attractant in there, and I will never visit it again!"

The day before the fourth game between the Knicks and Miami, the fourth game between the Cavaliers and the 76ers also had a result, and the 76ers led by Iguodala were swept miserably.

The Philadelphia 76ers became the first team to go out of the playoffs and the only team to be swept.

The Knicks watched the game as their next opponent was the Cleveland Cavaliers.

No one would think that the Knicks would be overturned, maybe they would be won by the other side, but if they want to win three games in a row, the Heat obviously think too much. The Knicks have no injuries, no suspensions, and the morale of the whole team is high, and they won't give them that opportunity.

"In our next game, we have to be careful about the referee, everyone should be able to see in the Cavaliers' game, the league doesn't want any team to be swept, so we will also be taken care of by the referee in the fourth game, everyone must keep their mentality and don't be angered by the referee's biased decision!"

After watching the game, D'Antoni made a summary, the referee problem is really annoying, but it can't be avoided, the Cavaliers are called the godson team, didn't they also suffer unfair punishments?

It's a pity LeBron. James is really against the sky this year, and the 76ers are really not angry, which was swept by the Cavaliers, and the referee can only complain that they are all pig teammates.

To put it bluntly, the Cavaliers' offense still relies on James alone, with more off-ball screens and pick-and-rolls in the playoffs, and limited tactical changes. However, their defense is much better than in the regular season, the pressure on the ball is very high, and the opponent often has to play less and more. This kind of defense is very demanding for the Cavaliers players, who need to run very quickly to form a local numerical advantage, but with LeBron. James is leading the way, and no one on the Cavaliers players dares to be lazy.

D'Antoni is also thinking about how to deal with the Cavaliers' defense, not only to find a way to break through the opponent's defense, but also to find a way to limit James.

On April 27, the Knicks started the fourth game of the first round with their minds already in the second round.

The Heat no longer have the unrealistic idea of turning defeat into victory, and avoiding becoming the second team to be swept is their top goal.

So far, except for the Philadelphia 76ers, who have been eliminated, only they have not won a game in the first round. This means that other teams will not be swept away except for them. For the sake of dignity, they must win at least one game, being swept is the biggest insult to the team!

With the idea of breaking the boat, the Heat played the best game of the series, and Wade hit a three-pointer in the opening game, setting the tone for the Heat's comeback.

Michael. In the first three games, Beasley played an average of 32 minutes per game and only scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Beasley redeemed himself today and finally became Wade's good helper, scoring a total of 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the first quarter and free throws.

At 29:23 in the first quarter, the Knicks trailed by six points.

In today's game, just as the Knicks were worried about, Kenyon Martin received two fouls of his own in less than three minutes of the opening game, and the Knicks were missing this pillar of the interior defense, and the control of the three-second zone immediately dropped a level according to the previous three games.

Zhang Yu and Wallace faced Wade and Beasley today, and they no longer had the energy to help defend inside, and David Lee has always been bad at defense, saying that he is the average level of the league is already a promotion for him.

During the pause in the first quarter, D'Antoni looked bad, because not only Kenyon Martin committed two fouls, but after Birdman Anderson went up, he also didn't hold on for even three minutes, and was blown two fouls in two minutes, so that he could only change to a five-small lineup at the beginning.

"We've already expected this situation, so don't worry about him, we can fight how we want, with the second tactic!" The mustache looks like he has nothing to miss, and he has a second tactic.

"Did you hear that, I heard tactic number two? I don't know what it is, but it sounds amazing? Ross Barkley was in the live booth and heard D'Antoni's tactical arrangement through the live signal.

Kenny. Smith laughed: "The Knicks' two interior players who are very good defenders are passionate and energetic defensive styles, and they are prone to foul trouble in the regular season. But it stands to reason that in the playoffs, the defensive intensity will increase, and they should not be so prone to foul crisis, but today the referee obviously has his own scale. ”

This is the implicit league's special penalty for the Knicks today, which is not uncommon, and sometimes it can be seen in the Finals, let alone in the first round.

Zhang Yu's shooting touch has declined today, and he has been in excellent form for three consecutive games, so he will not always be so smooth.

The benefits of the Knicks' more firepower points were revealed at this time, playing a five-small lineup in the second quarter, David Lee did not contribute much defensively, and made up for it offensively, facing O'Neal Jr., whose defense was also degraded, his face frame was strong, using his physical advantage, and even beat O'Neal Jr. several times successfully, and the former All-Star was also beaten into three fouls and had to go to rest.

O'Neal Jr.'s regular season table is good, and there seems to be a tendency to return to peak form, but unfortunately...... That's because the regular season is not very intense, and once it comes to the playoffs, it's a place to fight for the body, and everything is useless without a good body.

In these four games, Wade's defense against Zhang Yu was relatively successful, and he did not get high scores. It's the same today, Zhang Yu wants to break through Wade with a lot of effort, and the next shooting difficulty will be unprecedentedly huge, so the shooting percentage will naturally not be too high, so in the end he generally chooses to end his offense with passing.

David Lee pulled out to cover him this time, and the time was already the last minute of the second quarter, and the score of the two teams was 48:53, and the Knicks trailed by five points.

Zhang Yu broke through Wade, who used his strong body to take a shortcut to squeeze David Lee, and stabbed the basketball in Zhang Yu's hand from behind, Beasley grabbed the basketball and immediately passed it to Wade, and the Flash received the ball and counterattacked, and easily dunked.

Wade has an advantage on both offensive and defensive ends today, and the Flash, who is doing his best, is not something that first-year Zhang Yu can beat, which can be seen from the opponent's high scores in the first three games, and he only scored more than 20+ points in one game.

Zhang Yu's assists are high, and the change of direction shows that he can't score points, so he can only use a roundabout way to fight Wade.

At the end of the first half, the score was 48:55, and the Knicks trailed by seven points.

Zhang Yu shot 3 of 8, shot 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists from free throws.

Wade had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the half, shooting 6 of 10, 3 of 5 three-pointers, Beasley 16 points, and Chanmos 9 points. (To be continued......)
