Woody shook his finger in front of Mutombo.

This detonated the cheers of the entire arena.

Miamians look at this scene on the big screen and feel refreshed.

The Heat generals sitting on the bench also "shu", all stood up, and excitedly raised their arms on the sidelines to celebrate.

Mutombo was a little stunned.

He has always been the only one who "wagged his fingers" at others, and the incident of others "shaking his fingers" at him only happened once.

That was the "God of Basketball", but he also suffered a technical foul for it.

This is a glorious record that will make him brag for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, now there is such a junior who shook his finger in front of him, although it was not directly facing him, but this action, he knew that it was aimed at him, not only he knew, but everyone, including the referee, also knew.

But on this pitch, the referees acquiesced in his action.

This seems to have become the signature move of this little newcomer.

Mutombo knew all these things.

But he really didn't expect that one day, he would also become Woody's "backboard"!

With Woody's finger shake, the whole atmosphere completely fell to the side of the Heat, and in the cheers of the audience, the Heat played another wave of 5-1 scoring climax.

The New York Knicks had no choice but to call another timeout.

During that time, Woody scored another 2 points.

Less than 5 minutes into the second quarter, Woody's score had come to 8 points!

This strong rebound momentum made the Knicks head coach pull out the strategy board and start to set up for Woody.

Stan Van Gundy, as an experienced head coach, knew very well that the Knicks head coach was going to target Woody, and he had to do something about it, such as: "Dwyan, it's your turn!" ”

He took Gerald Wallace down and Wade back up.

Odom was then moved to the number four.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he expects Wade to find his form after the break, and like Woody, there will be a wave of explosive "rebound".

He had expectations for this, but not much.

He did it more because he was ......

See, I brought Dwyan, do you remember what he did in the first verse?

That's so effective!

Or do you go ahead?

Well......

Unleash the "bait" and put the New York Knicks in a dilemma!

Not to mention that the head coach of the Knicks is really enough to save face, as soon as he saw Wade on the court, his struggling appearance in the first quarter automatically appeared in his head. At that time, there was an impulse to change the defensive formation and continue to limit Wade......

Wade didn't know what Stan Van Gundy was thinking.

When he heard that Stan Van Gundy had asked him to play at this time, he was filled with energy and wanted to try to prove himself.

No, not to prove himself, but to prove that Stan Van Gundy has lived up to his trust!

In the first round, it was Odom who blocked him.

The New York Knicks, whose attention was on Woody, didn't pay much attention to him. Wade, who broke through to the basket by covering, suddenly found that he was facing a spacious "broad road", and he was not polite, and immediately made a layup.

Easily got 2 points!

Come up and score!

He also "realized"!

Seeing Wade return to the court, the Miamins in the audience immediately cheered with encouragement.

At this moment, the Heat have a chance to make a final decision, and they certainly want to see Wade find his form and contribute to the Heat's point difference.

Wade listened to the cheers of the audience, and kept silently reciting in his heart:

Not enough!

Not enough!

Such a performance was not enough to repay Stan Van Gundy's trust.

Gritting his teeth, he twisted his head around Marbury, who was holding the ball for half the court.

In the first half, Marbury used his skillful dribbling to break through the feint, bluffing Wade from stepping forward, and at this moment, Wade stepped forward so resolutely that it suddenly made him look a little thin against him. Holding the ball barely steadied his rhythm and waited for Houston, who was on the wing, to step forward to receive the ball.

But just as he hit the earth, suddenly a figure came out from the side, right between Houston and Marbury, and successfully intercepted the ball.

Steals!

Woody's eye is fast!

Damn it......

Marbury cursed and hurried to catch up.

But his small step, a giant leap for Woody,

I can't keep up!

Looking at Woody's fading back, he chose to stay where he was and not move.

"Phew!"

Woody's raising of his hand is a "one-handed split".

Another wave of 4-0!

The Knicks head coach glanced at Marbury, then at Houston, and at the other Knicks players on the court, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

The Heat continued their momentum and continued to widen the margin to 16 points, and seeing that the margin was on the verge of 16 points, the Knicks head coach decisively chose to change his defensive routine and target Wade as Stan Van Gundy had expected.

As for the arrangement against Woody......

To be honest, it's really a big investment, but a small return!

This guy doesn't have the ball in the first place, which means you have to watch where he is standing whenever you want.

In such a situation, the targeting of Wade cannot be so timely.

At the end of the day, the New York Knicks are a team with a seventh-best regular season record in the East, and they don't have that good teamwork ability to seamlessly switch defensive forms between Woody and Wade.

It's a hard thing to do, it's really hard to do without enough defensive literacy.

Moreover, such a defensive target could not prevent Woody from scoring.

This guy can't catch the ball on the offensive end, so he doesn't rush at all, and puts all his energy on the defensive end, through steals, blocks, or backcourt rebounds to form a second offensive opportunity, and then score on a fast break.

The New York Knicks are a bunch of experienced guys.

This is a statement of high emotional intelligence.

The phrase for low emotional intelligence is ......

That's a bunch of old men!

Legs and feet are really not convenient enough.

As a result, once Woody has the ball and breaks quickly, they often have to watch Woody score.

This kind of unguardable way of scoring makes them feel very aggrieved inside, because it makes them feel that they are not losing to the Heat, but to time.

In this case, when they saw Wade score, it was even more glorious!

Hey, you kid can score too?

They didn't need to say anything from the Knicks head coach, they were already targeting Wade's ball-handling, and when the head coach said, "Let's give Wade a little color", they sharpened their knives to "Wade".

Odom's role in staying on the pitch was played at this moment.

One Wade fell, and one Odom stood up.

The Heat's tactics were not affected, and the point advantage was continued, and at the end of the game, the Heat quickly established an advantage in their home court, with a 15-point margin victory over the New York Knicks, and won the first game of the playoffs.

The big score is 1-0!

Bill Wharton said: "New York missed their best chance! ”

It looked like it was 1 to 0.

But in reality, before this game, the Heat could be said to be a blank slate, and they didn't have much impression of the playoffs.

In such a situation, the probability of completing the "following gram" is high.

The opening grappling was an opportunity for the New York Knicks, but instead of adjusting faster, the Heat took the lead and found a way to re-establish their advantage.

And after the experience of the first game, the Heat have a certain idea of the intensity of the playoffs. It's impossible to play the "Teaching Bureau" like an old bird.

Anyway, with the strength of the New York Knicks, it will definitely not work!

This loss is really more fatal than losing two games......

After briefly chatting about the current situation of the New York Knicks, Bill Wharton looked at Woody's stats and added a little appreciation in his tone:

"Woody's performance in this game was really crucial!"

The wave of offense that the Heat team took off was completely led by him.

In the second quarter, Woody scored 11 points in a single quarter!

He scored 15 points in the entire first half......

In the end, he finished the game, and he got 25 points, 13 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals.

In the faster-paced playoffs, his efficiency in rushing for rebounds has become less effective because everyone is fighting hard for the board, and at this time, relying on the two badges of "monster bounce speed" and "rebound prediction" is no longer so domineering.

Back to the basics, his rebounding ability on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is only 87......

It's an all-star level, but it's not yet a supergiant.

It's no surprise that they can't grab that many rebounds.

But because of the increased pace, the tacit understanding between players on a team has become higher, so that he has more opportunities to complete steals and blocks.

The three steals were excellent even in the regular season.

Not to mention that he still has 6 blocks!

The whole stats, coupled with the fact that it was his playoff debut, and with Carmelo Anthony's debut sluggish, playing such a performance, "Big Mouth" Barkley couldn't help but shout: "What is the ceiling in the rookie, this kid looks more than the fireworks in New York!" ”

The cheers from the crowd also showed how happy the Miamins were with Woody's performance tonight.

Anthony's slump made them full of apprehension about Woody's play, and at the same time, his play ceiling has also been lowered to a certain extent.

Unexpectedly, Woody used this game to prove that they are small!

This pattern is also smaller!

As a super rookie who beat LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony to win the "Best Rookie", how can he be tied up in the small first round of the playoffs?

At the post-game press conference, Woody was even more star-studded.

The biggest stage that distinguishes a star is the playoffs, and if even the playoffs can't stop him, then he is really unstoppable!

Woody's disadvantage made him naturally saddled with the playoffs and was not favored by the "negative buff", but as a result, Woody proved with his performance that what playoffs are, it's over!

Whether it's the playoffs or the regular season, he is the brightest "star" in the Miami night sky.

Compared to his brilliance, Wade, who sat next to him with a sad face, was even thinner.

The New York Knicks lost by 15 points tonight, which is not a small loss. But they did a very good job in the game:

Limit Wade!

After the whole game, Wade only scored 4 goals from 15 shots, and if it weren't for 5 of 5 free throws, his score today would be too ugly.

Now with the free throws, he's just over 10 points from the game.

But if the referee's mouth is tighter, he can't even score a double-double in a single game.

In addition, he had 4 turnovers.

This data and Woody's data are put together in two words:

Tender!

Just looking at the data, Woody should be 21 years old, and he is only 18 years old, no, 16 years old, no more.

The gap is so big, but the game is won, and Wade, who "lies to win", faces so many reporters that his face is a little unbearable.

Now the statement that "the Heat can do without Wade, but not without Woody" is more solid.

Most importantly, this game showed the gap between him and Woody to the fullest, he worked so hard for so long, even practiced until he got injured, but there was still such a big gap. It hurt him a lot, and he hadn't been so injured since he started playing basketball, and even his self-esteem was a little bit affected.

In fact, he doesn't blame him, no matter who he is, he will feel pressure in the face of such a fellow student.

Thinking about Pat Riley's high expectations for himself, Wade once again feels that he has no face to see Pat Riley!

But just when he was extremely ashamed, Woody, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke: "This time we can win, the biggest hero is actually Dwyan!" ”

Wade was confused when he said this, looking at the cameras in front of him that were immediately aimed at him, as well as the eyes of reporters, he looked apprehensive and sat up straight unconsciously. But Woody didn't specify exactly what he did.

This made him can't help but intercept Woody after the press conference: "Man, do you really think we can win this time, and I also have credit?" ”

Woody hooked his shoulder, looked at him with a humble face, and said without hesitation: "Of course! ”

Of course not!

Woody simply caught a glimpse of Wade's unhappy face, thinking of his performance today, and wanting to comfort him, before saying this to the media.

But what I didn't expect was that the media didn't really know if Wade was taking it seriously.

Also, this kid is notoriously honest and easy to fool.

Woody was not weak and continued: "Dwyan, the data doesn't tell everything, some people look at all the data, but he can't give a performance at the critical moment, some people keep getting the ball ......"

Wrong!

Feeling like talking and talking, Woody who talked about Wade quickly turned his head: "If the data can represent everything, then the god of basketball should be Chamberlain, but in fact he is not, you sacrificed yourself in this game to help your teammates attract all the defensive firepower, and your contribution is indescribable by the data!" ”

“MVP！”

When these three letters rang in Wade's ears, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, with a look of "I'm not good at reading, don't lie to me" in his eyes, but he still laughed: "Where, where, Woody, you're the MVP!" ”
