Chapter 431: The World of Convulsions

The absolute powerhouse in the East, a strong contender for the championship, was actually taken away by the Knicks in the first half.

This result not only makes people think, is the Knicks so strong? Or are the Heat really weak?

The Knicks played half a game and won, once the game was over. Immediately the whole league went crazy!

You must know that the goal of the Heat has always been to win the championship, such a team has done its homework before the game. Spoelstra also followed the standards of the playoffs in terms of on-the-spot command, but the worst result was that the Knicks were easily destroyed.

This result is simply unacceptable to the fans of the Heat, the fans of James. You know, they are still waiting for James to win the championship! But now that the team has lost like this, how do you make these people deal with this fact?

The Heat is a signature team in the league to buy tickets, and now it has collapsed so easily. Immediately caused countless turmoil.

Many media and commentators are trying their best to analyze the truth of this matter. In fact, what fans want to know is whether the Heat is so weak? Or how strong the Knicks really are.

The Knicks' victory over the Heat has given the Heat a crisis of trust at this critical moment. The team's management and Spoelstra worked hard to clarify the negative impact. But intriguingly, James doesn't say anything in such moments.

This mentality of not saying anything clearly makes me feel a vague dissatisfaction

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared behind the prosperity of Miami.

The Knicks won the game and patted their butts and left, defeating the Heat Knicks to extend their winning streak.

With 9 consecutive wins and a victory over the Heat, the Knicks' road to defending their title this year has become smoother, and the haze of Harden and others leaving in the summer has dissipated, and people are concerned about how far the Knicks can go this year.

After the win over the Heat, the Knicks had a difficult schedule after hosting the Grizzlies. There will be a wave of six consecutive games on the road, and the Grizzlies have defeated the Spurs, Thunder, and Bulls in a row this year to become a strong team killer, and the Knicks dare not be careless.

……

Last night, Li Feng's old club, since Li Feng's career, that Li Feng's trade has been ridiculed, before the game, many people are not optimistic that the Grizzlies can take away a victory in Madison, the Knicks' ten-game winning streak is a sure thing.

"Our team is definitely not worse than the Knicks, I believe. We could have won against the Knicks, who weren't as strong as they thought they were. ”

Grizzlies point guard McConley disagreed.

However, Knicks fans feel that the Grizzlies are really talking nonsense with their eyes open, and the league's commentators also think so, thinking that Conley is purely morale-boosting the team.

So a lot of commentators think that Conley is talking big, and a lot of guys are talking about it in a sarcastic tone.

As a result, Conley's fans are bound to be furious, and the Grizzlies are also at loggerheads with various media outlets.

While the Grizzlies were fighting with the media, the Knicks were quite unfazed. Nothing has changed in the whole squad. The team is very low-key.

But on the training court, the Knicks are very prepared, because although they won the Grizzlies, the Knicks still attach great importance to each other.

Because the grizzly bears still have the strength. So at this time, the Knicks were seriously preparing for the game.

CCVA also broadcast today's game, and today, in addition to Coach Zhang and Leader Sun, we also invited guest Li Jianye.

All three are more familiar, as soon as it opens. Director Zhang said:

"Today is a game between the Knicks and the Grizzlies, guided by Son and guided by Lee. Guess what happened to today's game, both of you. ”

Instructor Sun said a little more professionally:

"There must be changes in today's game, so today it will mainly depend on how the Grizzlies adjust."

Director Li didn't do much on the show here, so he said a little more restrainedly:

"I watched the Knicks and Grizzlies game last year! In the last game, Li Feng's performance was really energetic, and I think the Grizzlies must have a strategy today and won't let Li Feng score so easily. ”

On the field, the match between the two teams has also begun, and the two teams have met before, so the second game is a lot more familiar.

Although Gasol's side still clicked on basketball first, the Grizzlies' tactics were really different from the last game.

The Grizzlies came up on the first round and played a Guy run-and-run without the ball. Guy, as the first artillery on the Grizzlies' outside line, ran up quickly, and as a matter of course, he fired the Grizzlies' first shot.

Guy was in very good shape in the last game, and now he is attacking just after he plays, and his physical strength and condition are also adjusted very well, and he still shoots the basketball.

The Grizzlies opened with a three-point lead over the Knicks, and at this time the Knicks got the ball and were cheered by the fans all over the court.

The Knicks still hit the opponent's interior first, but this time when the Knicks passed the ball to Monroe, Zach Randolph also defended Monroe in front of him, and he saw that Monroe and Zach Randolph were entangled together.

Monroe was robbed by Zach Randolph and couldn't get the ball, and Li Feng could only prepare to hit the Grizzlies on the outside.

But when Li Feng was rising to the bottom, the Grizzlies suddenly organized a defense similar to the Knicks defense Conley in the previous game.

Prince was on top in front, Gasol was guarding the box in the back, Conley was ready to come over for a steal in the middle, and the Grizzlies stole the Knicks' defense.

Li Feng wanted to kill the opponent's basket at this time, and he had to turn around and pass the ball to Dragic outside.

Dragic didn't hesitate to take the ball, and it didn't matter if he was facing Conley's defense or throwing it out with a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Shooting from the other is not Dragic's strong suit, and Dragic misses the shot.

At the beginning of today, the Grizzlies were still more accurate, and Gasol won the rebound in the backcourt. The Grizzlies pushed in again, but the Grizzlies still didn't attack from Conley, but came over and hit a low post attack from Gasol.

"Gasol singles Cousins in the low post!"

"Maybe you want to hit the other party by surprise!"

Director Sun was actually speculating at this time.

Gasol has just been injured this season, and he is now relatively heavy, and there is not much advantage in playing Cousins, so he can only play the ball with dead strength.

He slammed the ball into Cousins before he raised his elbow and resisted the hard turn and turned around. Gasol throws the basketball towards the rebound.

Cousins and Gasol competed together, and Cousins was a little unable to resist and was caught off guard by Gasol.

The Grizzlies started the game from the corner, first to Gay and then to Gasol, and then to both.

The Grizzlies' opening offensive point was indeed unexpected by the Knicks, which can be regarded as a strategy of the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies opened with a small surprise to the Knicks, and the Knicks realized something.

Sure enough, the Knicks came over again, facing the Grizzlies' targeted defense, and the Grizzlies are now defending Li Feng with three-dimensional defense, and multiple people form a team defense that echoes before and after. Defending Monroe is basically going around the front. Cousins, on the other hand, restricts his high post movement and prevents him from running smoothly.

The Grizzlies are aimed at every player who can attack in the low post for the Knicks, and they have their own arrangements, and the Grizzlies make such a meticulous arrangement to prevent the Knicks from playing the Grizzlies' interior line.

When the Knicks' offense stalled, the Grizzlies came again, but in an orderly manner.

The Grizzlies worked as a team, and Tysa Princes actually got the basketball on the wing and hit a mid-range shot through the screen.

As soon as the second game began, the Grizzlies beat the Knicks 7-0.

The Grizzlies opened the game by beating the Knicks a 7-0. Although Li Feng can break out at this time, the timing is not right, if Li Feng starts to play wildly at this time, then he will not be able to play in the second half.

So at this time, the Knicks came over and started to figure out a way from the team. The Knicks started playing Rose's baseline singles at this time.

The Knicks played this point of Rose, but also because Guy's defensive ability was too poor, and it was indeed a defensive shortcoming.

At this time, Rose knew that Guy was not good at moving, so he used a change of direction shooting to attack.

Originally, Ross's speed was also on one side. However, Guy was too slow, and Rose shook Guy off as soon as he changed direction.

After shaking off Guy, Rose easily raised his hand and hit a mid-range shot, and the Knicks finally began to find some ways to attack. But at this time, the grizzly bear is unrelenting.

Gasol took the ball when he came up and forced Cousins with his dead force, and the two men competed under the basket.

Guy slyly moved out to ask for the ball, Gasol passed the ball to Guy, and Guy took the ball and shot directly and quickly without giving Rose a chance to get close.

Guy is relying on his feel to shoot directly and throw a three-pointer "Brush!" "Guy's three points hit again.

10-2, Rose played one, but quickly let Guy shoot a three-pointer, because the Grizzlies came prepared and devised a lot of tactics, and the Knicks did not have this kind of preparation. So after 5 minutes of the first half, the Knicks fell behind again.

15-7, the Knicks trailed by 8 points, and at this time Tyberdu saw that the main lineup's offensive power was insufficient.

He started to bring on J.R. Smith, who wasn't a perfect player on the defensive end, but was sharp on the offensive end.

At this time, the Grizzlies don't have too many outside scorers, and the Knicks won't suffer by replacing Smith, and Smith has a lot of room to play when the opposing team plays a role player offense.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Knicks replaced Smith first, and in the first round of Smith's debut, the Knicks immediately played a Smith off-ball tactic.

And Smith's off-ball tactics are still played in conjunction with Li Feng's off-ball tactics, Li Feng starts running from the left, and Smith starts running from the right.

The Knicks have a two-person no-ball strategy, and the Grizzlies will inevitably give up one, which is indeed less destructive than Li Feng Smith.

So at this time, once Smith ran out, the opportunity immediately appeared, and when Smith ran to the flank, the opponent actually had no one to defend Smith.

Smith's last game was really bad, and today the Grizzlies relaxed their defense against Smith intentionally or unintentionally, and Smith is a pitcher who can't be emptied, and his essence is actually the same as Guy's, so once there is an open position, Smith is decisive with the ball and a steady three-point shot.

"Brush!"

Smith had an open space at the beginning of the day, so he had a very good opening touch, and once a shooter shoots well on the first ball, then he is very likely to shoot very smoothly in the future.

Tyberdeau knows Smith very well as a head coach. As soon as he saw Smith coming, he knew that today's game was good, at least someone scored in the first half.

Li Feng naturally knew Smith's style, so he gestured to Dragic immediately after Smith scored, allowing the team to continue playing Smith's tactics.

The Grizzlies are playing well as role players right now, so they don't care too much about Smith's projection.

The Grizzlies came over again and wanted to hit Guy's projection, but after half a quarter of the game, Rose had already found Guy's pulse.

Rose now sees that Guy has no ability to move, and when he comes up, he sticks to Guy's body with his body, and Ross sticks to Guy wherever he goes. Wherever Guy goes, Ross sticks to Guy.

In this way, Guy's shooting is greatly affected, and Rose's use of this grappling can seriously drain Guy's physical strength.

Once Guy's physical strength is not sufficient, the effect of the game will be immediately folded, and at this time Guy got the basketball, and it was really a lot softer, and he missed the basketball.

Guy worked well for only a few minutes, and after a few minutes, his stamina was gone, and Guy's effect was gone.

The Grizzlies missed a long-range shot, and the Knicks came over again unceremoniously or Li Feng and Smith ran without the ball in the opposite direction.

At this point, the Grizzlies' defense finally got a little better. Conley came sideways to defend Smith.

But Conley also has a problem defending Smith, which is a lack of height, and Smith is a projection-oriented player, and he looks like Conley with the ball. Immediately took a step back towards the front.

Drop back quickly, shoot quick three-pointers, Conley is not tall enough, Smith shoots too fast. A little bit of space, Smith took advantage of.

"Brush!"

Smith hit another shot over Conley's head, and Smith hit two three-pointers in a row. Immediately rewrote the score to 13-15.

The Grizzlies' hard work in the first half of the quarter turned into ashes in an instant, and that's the danger of an explosive scorer who can change the game in an instant.

Let Smith shoot two balls in a row, and the Grizzlies can't be calm, and Hollins came up and immediately asked the team to focus on taking care of Smith.

The Grizzlies have been focusing on taking care of Li Feng, and now they are focusing on taking care of Smith, and the defensive pressure is suddenly greater.

While the defensive power has increased suddenly, the pressure on the offensive end is also greater, because Smith has scored consecutive points, and the Grizzlies must also score at this time.

At this time, Gasol went deep into the basket and wanted to play Cousins, but at this time Cousins was also used to Gasol's offense.

Cousins stubbornly stood up to Gasol, and it was very difficult for Gasol to attack after being targeted.

Players outside of superstars are all like this, they are very afraid of targeted defense, and once they are on targeted defense, they are basically tied down. However, superstars are often able to break the rules by virtue of their extraordinary physical fitness.

That's the charm of superstars, in short, superstars aren't earthlings and don't play according to the rules that most people follow.

Gasol is not a superstar, so once targeted, it will be difficult for Gasol's side to score.

He threw the basketball out to Randolph to deal with, Randolph still had the ability to play singles with the ball, holding the ball and leaning on Monroe one step, and then taking a neat step back to dodge Doorlaw to shoot the middle distance.

"Brush!"

Monroe scored his first point in the opening game today, and the weight of these two points was very heavy.

Today, Monroe is also the same as Conley, hiding and playing at the beginning, not taking the initiative to attack, and now he only makes a shot when the team is in trouble.

However, just when Randolph made a good shot, the Knicks simply handed over the basketball to Smith in the backcourt.

Smith held the ball personally, and the Grizzlies' defense suddenly struggled, because Tysha Ampulins was defending Li Feng, and Conley was still staring at Rose, who was also a catch-and-shoot shooter.

With that, Smith took the ball, easily shook off Guy with a simple change of direction, and raised his hand near the free throw line to shoot a mid-range shot.

Smith scored eight points in a row and rewrote the score to 15-17, and the difference was still two points.

The Grizzlies' advantage shortened instantly, and Hollins hurriedly called a timeout again. Hollins saw Smith's scoring explosiveness at this time, and he immediately replaced Guy with Wilson Chandler.

Chandler on the Grizzlies is obviously aimed at Smith, Chandler is fast and ruthless, and it will form a big interference when used to defend Smith, and with Chandler's character, he will definitely attack Smith, which is also a challenge to Smith's defensive level.

The Knicks broke the game with a mixed lineup, and the Grizzlies also played against each other with a mixed lineup.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies really started playing with Chandler, who is the kind of typical chaotic guard who is best at taking the fire and playing alone with the ball.

Now in the face of a player like Smith who is a little weaker defensively, he immediately plays quite freely, comes up with a quick shake, looks up and makes a feint, and then immediately pulls up a pull-up jump shot.

"Brush!"

Chandler's offense was still good, and he came up and scored 2 points.

The Grizzlies' role players continued to score, and the Knicks seemed to recognize Smith and pushed back to play Smith's off-ball tactics.

The Knicks' players know and recognize Smith, and they all know that Smith's scoring explosiveness and once he is sharp, he can compare with many superstars.

Smith ran out in half a circle this time, and when he received the ball again, the Grizzlies' side really strengthened, and Chandler and Randolph both pounced to chase Smith.

Smith wasn't caught on the sideline by the two men, and just when the Grizzlies thought they had finally finished a defense, Smith hung a behind-the-back pass basketball straight into the hands of Rose in the bottom corner.

Rose had an instant vacancy at this time, and he took the ball and immediately shot "Brush and pull!" ”

The Knicks threw in another three-pointer, 18-19, and the Knicks chased the difference by only one point.

What makes Smith better than the average convulsive guard is that Smith is not only strong in his scoring ability, but also has a strong offensive ability. (To be continued......)
