Chapter 501: AK47 fires
For a moment, the Knicks' defense was a little careless, but Wade was a pure-minded person, he didn't want to do anything, and rushed up, just hit the saved Cousins, and made Cousins a foul.
Cousins is depressed!
I didn't score at the beginning of today, and I was fouled first, and the Knicks also felt very depressed!
Although he can't pass the ball to this Wade, he rushes so hard every time and makes fouls, and the Knicks really can't do much.
Wade was like a terrorist on the court, carrying explosives bags around fanning the flames, and exploding when he touched them, which finally made the Knicks' side feel tricky.
Tyberdu also finally understood what Spoelstra was doing, knowing that Wade would not organize, but still put him in the point guard position.
Because the basketball is in Wade's hands, he is not a basketball, but a time bomb that will blow up whoever touches it. As long as the bomb is in Wade, the Heat's scoring is guaranteed, and the Heat can take the initiative to change the opponent's defense.
Wade must be controlled! It was the first thought that came to Taberdu's mind, but immediately he frowned again.
Because he is in his own lineup, he really can't find anyone who can contain Wade, and only Li Feng can contain Wade, but it's still too early to get Li Feng on the lineup, and after thinking about it, Tyberdu only decided to let the rest of the players help Dragic when the time comes.
Wade went to the free throw line and hit both free throws again, and Wade scored four points on the free throw. A point guard with super physical fitness and fierce vitality, not to mention the organization, this lethality alone is also surprising.
The Knicks came back immediately, and Dragic took the ball and passed it to Monroe, who pulled it out, and Monroe passed the ball to Belineri on the baseline.
Belineri started to force a single from the baseline, but the opponent he met today was a little troublesome, Belineri beat Ray Allen!
There is certainly no room for forced shots, as Ray Allen is taller than Belineri. It's also a bit difficult to get past it, because Ray Allen is fast.
The best way for Belineri to play Ray Allen is to run it under the basket, but once he gets to the basket, he certainly doesn't face a defense that Ray Allen is alone.
The Knicks' offense finally got a hard idea, but the Heat found the groove in the offense.
Wade came over and played a two-player game with James at 45, while the other three of the Heat were all on the other side, completely ceding this side to Wade and James to play a 2-on-2 game with each other.
Play 2v2 with Wade and James, which is obviously a difficult game and also a hell mode.
Wade and James crossed screens, and James gets the pass. Then he didn't attack by himself, but quickly returned to Wade, who was the owner of the low post card Dragic.
Wade has a huge physical advantage, and the space is completely out when he sits up in one step, and Wade immediately rolls over and makes a jumper.
The opportunity is good, and the tactics are also good, but Wade's skills at this time are not mature at all, and he actually misses the shot, and then immediately under the basket Anderson, Bosh. Monroe and Cousins scrambled together.
Four people grabbed it all together, and it was difficult not to foul at this time, but in the end it was Cousins who was unlucky, and he was caught by the referee for an irregular move and sent Bosh to the free throw line.
At the free-throw line, Bosh hit one of two free throws. The Heat scored five points from the free throw line in the opening game today, and only scored two points in the athletic battle.
It can be seen that the Heat's style of playing is indeed very tough, and it can also be seen that the Knicks are also inch-free on the defensive end.
encountered such an opponent, and the Knicks also realized it clearly. Although the Heat were swept by the Knicks, they were more rigid today. The Knicks didn't fully study the opponent's pattern before the game, and they were already a little underestimated.
Tyberdu immediately yelled at the court:
"Cheer up! Beat our own rhythm. Be sure to beat our rhythm. ”
On the sidelines, Tyberdu can only command to this point, let the team go at their own pace first, don't mess up, as long as it is not chaotic and stable, Tyberdu believes that his team has a better chance.
It was also at this time that Tyberdu wanted to be stable, and Dragic came over and stuffed the basketball to Li Feng.
Li Feng is still the most stable point of the Knicks with the ball, at this time Li Feng learned from Wade, forced the opponent's defense all the way to the bottom line, and then hit the ground and passed to Cousins, who already had a position on the inside.
Cousins doesn't usually miss out in this position, but today he met Anderson, who is scheming and has a lot of small moves.
Anderson kept squeezing Cousins' bottom plate in the back, Cousins is still a young eagle anyway, and there are not many ways to deal with this kind of little black hand.
A nine-ten-the-basket offense didn't work, and Cousins' basket offense missed.
James, who was on the other side of the basket, flew up and picked up the backcourt rebound, then turned and ran wildly towards the Knicks' half.
James is also fast, taking big steps, one step, two steps to cross the middle line, at this time Li Feng arrived at James's side, James had already passed.
Wade catches the ball on the baseline, picks up the ball, and this beast-like guy flies up with a one-handed dunk.
"Bang dang!"
The Heat dunked quickly, and it took only 4 seconds, and the Heat completed the steps from defense to offense in just 4 seconds.
It can be seen that James and Wade are highly efficient in the transition between offense and defense.
With this as a foundation, no team dares to play fast break with the Heat, and no team dares to let the Heat add up the speed.
Once the speed that the Heat has, combined with the two monsters of James and Wade, it will be difficult for the other party to parry.
At this point, the Heat's offensive routine has also been more perfectly reflected in front of the Knicks, and the Heat played simply in the half, that is, Wade's high-post attack or breakthrough pointing, James's coverage without the ball projection or sudden attack on the basket.
In terms of fast break, the Heat are seizing every opportunity to play fast offense, and the Heat are also aware of their advantages in offensive and defensive transitions.
Today, the Knicks have suffered a loss by playing here, the Heat have scored 9 points, and the Knicks have only scored 4 points.
Dragic rushed over with the ball, immediately made a high block with Cousins at the top of the arc, and then threw it to Li Feng on the wing, and when Li Feng took the ball, he saw that Belineri on the weak side was just empty. He immediately threw the basketball to the weak side, and Belle's three-point shot has always been a little slow, and when he was a little slower, James came back, which affected Belle's most sluggish shooting state, and the Knicks missed the shot.
The Heat protected the basketball under the basket, and this time Bosh in the backcourt passed the ball directly to James, who drove the ball towards the Knicks' half.
Under this condition, James and Ray Allen made a block, and James got rid of Li Feng against Belineri.
It's a bit timid, but it's also the wisest thing to do.
Just when Belineri's side was nervous. Anderson came up to make a cover for James, James took the ball and went around without completely getting rid of Belinelli, immediately dribbled and turned around again from the other side, this time Belineri was finally resisted by Anderson behind his back.
James got a momentary opportunity, and when Li Feng saw this situation, he let go of Ray Allen and hurriedly saved to defend.
But James took the lead, even if he faced Li Feng, he still shot calmly, and the basketball simply fell into the Knicks' basket.
Today, the Knicks didn't play well, and then Tyberdu wanted to turn things around. But the Heat are really tough.
At this time, the Knicks mainly played fast. A team wants to be fast? What he needs to do, push quickly and on the outside is a must. But one more thing than that is necessary is defense.
Only if you defend well, can defend the opponent on the defensive end, can win the rebound in the backcourt. Or form a steal, and then you can hit a counterattack, and then you can get up fast.
Otherwise, if you don't defend, you don't have backcourt rebounding. If you want to be fast, that's empty talk, and the opponent's frontcourt rebounds will nail you firmly in the half court, and you won't be able to run at all.
So at this time, the prototype of the Heat defense has come out. Under the Heat's tough defense, it was very difficult for the Knicks to turn around the few points they had just conceded.
Later, Tyberdu adjusted the team's tactics, but there was not much to do with the Heat's young people.
Although the Heat play is simple and free, they will not be too bad if they have a tough defense as the foundation.
On the Knicks' side today, Cousins was tormented by Anderson and his hand was not very good, and the interior offensive power of the Knicks' side decreased a little.
At this time, Li Feng didn't shoot too early, Li Feng was still making balls for his teammates at this time, hoping to help his teammates warm up their teammates' hands first.
After the team's hands are warm, if the problem still can't be solved later, Li Feng needs to take action himself.
As a result, the first quarter ended with the Heat leading the Knicks by six points.
6 points is not less, but it is not too much, for these 6 points Li Feng did not pay attention to it, although the Heat's defense is good at this time, but the interior still lacks a master of assisting, and there is no big role in filling the interior.
Li Feng absolutely believes that as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely be able to win the score. So Li Feng is not in a hurry, at this time he still decided to make the ball for his teammates first, Li Feng knew that his little brothers have potential, how to discover these potentials, you need to do something yourself.
After a 5-minute break, the second quarter began, and both teams switched to the bench, and the Knicks' bench lineup was still composed of Livingston, Smith, Harris, Kirilenko, and Thornton.
Compared to the Knicks, the Heat's bench lineup is slightly shabby, Kerr, Chalmers, Battier, Joel Anthony, Beasley.
The Heat's bench is really not very good, J.R. Smith and Kirilenko combined to score 12 points, and at this time, the head coach of Spoelstra on the Heat's side also knew that his own bench lineup was really not good, so he could only lament that Wade was replaced first.
The reason why Spoelstra went to Wade first and not James first is because James is playing a little feminine now, sometimes he chooses to pass the ball when he should be attacking, and the Heat replaced Wade here.
Livingston is tall enough to be a deterrent to the defense, but in front of Wade, all this seems to be non-existent, Livingston was hit by Wade's shoulder and stumbled, and Wade rose to the ground and threw a pull-up jump shot.
Wade didn't shoot consistently when he first entered the NBA. But now it's a lot better, Wade played well in the first quarter today, and at this time he was in good shape, raising his hand and shooting a mid-range.
Wade is really capable, he can hit when he comes up, he can score for the team, his presence is like a light in the night, as long as you have eyes, you can see his brilliance. As the former boss of the Miami Heat, Wade is really good.
Kirilenko was not to be outdone at this time. When it came to the Heat's half, he immediately infiltrated the restricted area and then ran out to cover for Livingston.
After making a cover, Kirilenko popped up and received a pass from Livingston, and with a quick raise of his hand, Joel Anthony, who was defending Ledu, immediately took a feint, and Joel Antony flew directly.
Kirilenko dribbled to the Heat's basket in one step, and while there was no one under the Heat's basket, Kirilenko threw it to the end.
Kirilenko's set of tactics for fighting on the outside is not inferior to Wade at all, and Wade is strong on the surface. But Kirilenko's arrogance is innumerable in the details.
The Knicks scored, and the Heat took the ball and hit it back again, at which point Wade was still attacking with the ball. But this time, he finally passed the basketball to Battier halfway through the break.
Battier can't do it alone. But with a strong reinforcement like Wade, Battilton is like a tiger, he is originally a player who plays in a support position, and he naturally performs better when he has strong reinforcements.
Take the ball and shoot a little feint. Then take a big step, take two steps, and then switch hands for an easy layup to score.
With Wade as cover. Battier played well, and the ball kept Spoelstra in his breath and ready to let Battier play a little longer.
At this time, the Heat is indeed still short of talent, and Battier is also an indispensable part of the barren Heat.
At this time, the Knicks still did not replace Li Feng, nor did they replace the main force, but used the bench lineup to deal with the opponent.
This also shows from one side that Tybodu has been trusting Kirilenko more and more recently.
Kevin Kirilenko didn't disappoint Tyberdu either, the guy tee off the baseline, but instead of passing the basketball to the nearest Livingston, it was a super long-range pass that sent the basketball directly to Smith in this half.
Smith was accustomed to Kirilenko's ultra-long-distance passing, took the ball and went to the basket, and when the Heat scored less than 2 seconds, the Knicks immediately got two points back.
With Kirilenko in charge here, a Wade is actually helpless against the Knicks.
However, the Heat is also a backbone team, just after Kirilenko kicked off quickly, their side also kicked off quickly, and then Wade killed like the wind, Wade is really a beast, the speed of his feet is really fast, three times and two hits to the Knicks' half, this time he killed, or played a lost step, Livingston played a clean again, and then passed the ball to Battier on the bottom line again.
Battier was shot again, and when the Knicks basket players hurriedly saved Battier, Battier sent the basketball to Wade on the inside with a return pass, and Wade got up and dunked with both hands.
The two teams played off the bench and the mixed lineup, and they really played with momentum, especially on the Heat side, Wade's toughness and Battier's panacea really had some chemistry. The benches on both sides are playing hot, and on the home court of the Knicks, the Knicks are naturally not to be outdone.
The Knicks came over and Kirilenko's weight at the free-throw line was completely on Joel Antony, who was trying to push Kirilenko.
Harris on the outside put the basketball in front of Kirilenko with a reverse hanging, and Kirilenko gave Joel Anthony a turn at the same time, and at the same time received the ball and came up. Kirilenko again took advantage of the empty cut to score points.
Kirilenko's side scored one after another, and he withstood the combination of Wade and Battier alone.
Jeff Van Gundy, who was on the commentary bench, also had to praise Kirilenko:
"Kirilenko was in great shape today, not taking many shots from the three-point line, but playing well in the air and under the basket. It's really not a loss for the Knicks to give him a big contract, it's really a torch! ”
Hubi Brown also nodded repeatedly:
"Kirilenko is really great! Especially suits the Knicks' style right now. ”
Wade also didn't expect that this guy who looked like a middle-aged uncle would be so difficult to deal with, and he could actually succeed in continuous empty cuts in the Heat's originally tight defense, which is almost impossible for others. But now Kirilenko has done it!
The Heat followed Kirilenko so closely, and the competition was about whose scoring ability could be sustained. Wade rushed over again this time, and he used the cover to throw Livingston away, but Wade's instability showed when he faced the basket, and he missed the shot.
At the first moment when the Heat missed the shot, the Knicks immediately chased after him, and the Knicks are not a slow team, especially the opportunity to chase the opponent's ass and beat it, and the Knicks never waste it.
The Heat were almost lined up when Kirilenko suddenly cut in from the outside.
Smith who took the ball immediately passed the ball in, Kirilenko took the ball and dribbled a step, and the Heat's defender immediately chased after him, this time the Heat's defense was in place, but Kirilenko took the ball and suddenly performed a feint, and the three players of the Heat flew over together, but he turned around and threw a throw in front of the sky.
Kirilenko scored another goal, and as a result, Kirilenko scored six points in a row. (To be continued......)
