Chapter 248: Victory in Sight
At 11 minutes and 25 seconds in the second quarter, Wade returned to the court, and the Flash only rested for half a minute, and his ass had to be put on again before it was hot.
The score was 22:29, and Zhang Yuqiang beat Cook to widen the score gap to 7 points.
The heat team attacked, Wade dribbled, and Zhang Yu chose to stay two steps away from the opponent, completely letting go of the shooting space outside the three-point line.
"You've only had a half-minute break, can you still shoot?" Zhang Yu spoke out to affect Wade.
Wade frowned, after these four games, he had to play more than 45 minutes in each game, this was a high-intensity game in the playoffs, no matter how good his body was, he was starting to recover at the moment, plus there was almost no rest in the second quarter, and he didn't have a feel for the Flash.
Zhang Yu let go of two steps, Wade hesitated, and shot a three-point shot from beyond the three-point line.
"Bang dang!"
I don't know if this ball is really a physical problem, or if it was affected by Zhang Yu's trash talk, and the basketball slammed into the basket and jumped out.
Anderson grabbed the rebound and then quickly handed it to Nate. Robinson, Yu Zhang, and Wilson. Chandler was left and right, and the Knicks launched a three-line fast break.
The three of the Heat team returned to defense, but in the face of the Knicks players who had already rushed up, they were still a little unable to parry.
Zhang Yu received the ball at the three-point line, took two steps inside to make a pass, confusing Wade, and then suddenly stopped shooting......
Zhang Yu threw a board in this ball, he didn't use much of this kind of shooting, but the success rate of the emergency stop shot in the fast break was the highest, and with his excellent shooting touch, the ball hit steadily.
The score is 22:31. The score has been expanded to 9 points.
Stella is struggling off the field, should he call a timeout at this time?
Wade dribbled the ball to the front court, but Stella called a timeout anyway. The right is to help Wade recover his body, and this ball must also be hit, otherwise the difference will widen to ten points, and it will be very bad at the opponent's home court.
After the timeout, Zhang Yu followed Wade and didn't let him catch the ball.
The Heat team's offense couldn't get the basketball into Wade's hands, and Zhang Yu was very close. Forcing a pass will be cut off by the red rabbit, and the basketball will end up in Cook's hand.
Cook's three-pointer went wide again, and it was exactly as Stella said. It's a big deal.
The Knicks attacked, and Zhang Yu wanted to throw a three-pointer to directly expand the score to 12 points.
This is a common mistake made by many rookies, impulsiveness is the devil. The more critical the time, the more calm it is.
Zhang Yu finally controlled his impulsive thoughts. Handed the ball to Nate Robinson and continued to run without the ball himself.
Wade stubbornly followed, and also did not let Zhang Yu catch the ball, and the Knicks finally scored a goal by Xiao Tudou himself, and the score was stretched to 11 points, and all Miami fans felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment.
The Knicks' offense is too strong, and their defense is too poor to defend against the opponent's offense. The defense line is like paper paste, the little potato can be stabbed, Crawford can be stabbed, and Zhang Yu can naturally be stabbed. Even Quentin. Richardson and Wallace were also able to force their scores, so it's no wonder they won the game......
In the second quarter, Zhang Yu gave full play to MT's monster attribute, Wade defended closely, and he didn't shoot much, but he alone not only attracted all of Wade's defense, but also attracted a large number of auxiliary defensive forces of the Hot team.
Wade is fast enough and explosive more than Zhang Yu, but the agility of the Flash is not good, especially under the cover of his teammates without the ball, Zhang Yu is like a rabbit, and the Knicks seem to be able to see him everywhere on the offensive end.
What if the rest of the Heat team doesn't help defending? Wade alone can't keep up with Zhang Yu's figure all the time.
At the end of the first half, Zhang Yu only scored 11 points, which was about the same as the previous game, but he sent 3 assists, grabbed 3 rebounds and 2 steals, contributed on both offensive and defensive ends, and he was really everywhere.
With a score of 42:53, the Knicks led the Miami Heat by 11 points.
Wade played almost the entire first half, finishing with 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
In the second quarter, the Flash's shooting percentage began to decline and did not help the team much, and Wade's physical condition only got worse and worse as the game progressed.
Zhang Yu played the abacus today to redeem himself and Wade, in the first half he didn't care whether he had a chance or not, he just ran blindly on the field, forcing Wade to follow him and keep consuming his body. Anyway, without him, the team still has Crawford, and Wallace, and other players who can charge. If the Heat team didn't have Wade, they would have to close their eyes and wait for death.
In the second half, the Heat team still didn't have any good way, the ability of the players was there, and it was useless for the coach to have any bullish tactics, and it was the players who implemented the tactics in the end.
At 5 minutes and 50 seconds in the third quarter, Kenyon Martin performed an iron elbow skill on Wade, it is estimated that he still learned from Zhang Yu, and the effect was very obvious.
Zhang Yudou came out, received the basketball, and easily hit an open three-pointer, which was his third three-pointer today, shooting 3 of 6, extremely efficient.
Relying on this three-pointer, Zhang Yu's personal count also increased to 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, with only 10 shots, and he could score 1.6 points per shot.
A minute later, D'Antoni replaced Zhang Yu and gave Stella another problem.
D'Antoni replaced Zhang Yu at this time, and Bacheng planned to replace him at the beginning of the fourth quarter. You must know that the Flash has not rested for a game, and his efficiency has declined as a result, and now he will not replace Wade, and Zhang Yu will come back in the fourth quarter, I am afraid that he will not be able to rest again.
But now is a good opportunity to chase points, let Wade go off the court, and it may be impossible to recover the disadvantage in the last quarter.
Stella began to hesitate until the last two minutes of the third quarter, at which point it would be useless to replace Wade, and simply let him play the full 48 minutes.
There are so few coaches on NBA teams who cherish their players as much as Popovich, and Stella is clearly not one of those few. On the contrary, he is a type of coach who is a ruthless player who wants to put the core players on the field every game.
Wade played the third quarter and did not narrow the gap to less than 10 points, and the score was 65:75, and the Knicks still led by 10 points into the fourth quarter.
The New York fans in Madison Square Garden didn't stop cheering during the timeout, and as long as nothing else, they could not be thrilled by the fact that they would be able to enter the second round as soon as they returned after a five-year absence.
"It's the last quarter soon, I know you're tired, but keep going, now we're only one step away from the second round, don't relax, pull the score!"
D'Antoni is not without ability, and it is impossible to win the NBA Coach of the Year without a few brushes, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he sent all the team's main players on the court with the aim of defeating the opponent in one go.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Stella saw the Knicks lineup on the court, and immediately knew in his heart that it was not good, but looking at the players sitting on the bench of his team, he could only spread his hands in his heart, and there was no way to do it.
Zhang Yu, Crawford, Wallace, Anderson, David Lee, the Knicks except for not making Kenyon . Martin came out and almost switched to the strongest lineup.
Crawford played the second position, Zhang Yu was moved to the first position, and D'Antoni had a clear purpose, planning to use Zhang Yu's attack ability to see if he could play an attack wave.
Zhang Yu knew what he had to do, and after a whole game of soy sauce, it was time to give his opponent a fatal blow.
The Heat's guard line used the configuration of Cook and Wade, the Flash controlled the ball, and Cook was responsible for finding opportunities to shoot threes, but the Heat's shooters all withered in the playoffs, and the poor performance proved that they were only regular season players.
It was Cook who defended Zhang Yu, changing from Wade to Cook, it felt like changing from Alto to Audi, Zhang Yu used a behind-the-back dribble to easily break through the opponent and go straight into the penalty area......
Zhang Yu burst into the inside, and Wade and Joe Anthony made up for it at the same time to form a two-man wrap-up defense.
"Damn, I finally wanted to score, but I didn't want to be happy!" Zhang Yu is not Westbrook, and the basketball has already been split by him before hitting the wall
Crawford received the ball from beyond the three-point line, attracted the opponent to rotate and then split the ball again, and Wallace received the ball and hit the basket to cause Mark to get the ball to the basket. Blount fouls.
The basketball was thrown by Wallace last, bounced left and right on the basket twice, and actually fell in, two plus one.
Stella was expressionless, but sighed in his heart: "The tide is over!" ”
It's true that the tide is gone, and the Heat are already 13 points behind the Knicks after Wallace hit a free throw. Especially when they hit the iron again on the next offense, the players were frustrated, the Knicks had quickly launched a counterattack, Zhang Yu finally received the ball and didn't know if he was happy, and staged a wonderful one-handed tomahawk dunk under Cook's defense, and played the heat team again two plus one.
This offense completely crushed the Miami Heat, think about the overall score of 1:3 behind, and then think about Zhang Yu's free throw, they will be 16 points behind, and the chance of a comeback is only theoretically possible.
Zhang Yujia hit a penalty to turn his score jù into 19 points, and now the team is about to win, and his persistence in counting jù has begun to gain the upper hand again, that is, the red rabbit has blood-red eyes and is about to start scoring again......
Stella was dying, called a timeout, and then switched to all his main forces.
His substitution this time is not so much a refusal to admit defeat, but rather a show for Pat Riley, if he, the head coach, also gave up the game in advance like a player, then he will definitely be given up by the Miami Heat without hesitation next season!
"The idol only scored 19 points, but I bought him and got 30+, and I lost hundreds of dollars." Ai Yue'er saw Zhang Yu's personal number displayed on the big screen, and her mouth pouted, very dissatisfied.
"I bought him an assist 5+ and made a few hundred dollars!" Xia Wei's eyes were suddenly full of ¥¥.
"Damn, you must have discussed it in private......" (To be continued......
