Once again, Wade's perception was subverted.

He didn't expect that he would still be the hero of the team and the MVP in Woody's mind.

Woo woo woo~

He's so gentle!

The "Big Cheeks" felt that they could not live up to the list with one more name.

Early the next morning, Stan Van Gundy also talked to Wade once: "Man, don't be too stressed, trust me, there's nothing wrong with your style of play, you're sacrificing for this team, it's just about that, not many people are aware of it." ”

He did it entirely because he had seen a lot of reports this morning, praising Woody and then madly belittling Wade. He wanted to call Wade at the time:

Don't look at it, it's a bad review!

And his words, which fell on Wade's ears, made him even more sure that Woody's words last night were sincere!

He's really, really, thinks so!

Wade was very moved, and when he saw the bad comments that were pouring towards him like a tide, his heart was not wavering, and he even sighed lightly:

Want to laugh!

You know a hammer!

And for people like Wade, it doesn't matter how many people don't understand him, the key is that someone understands him, which is important.

He was actively involved in the rest of his daily training.

Stan Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that even if Wade plays as poorly as the first game in the next game of the series, he doesn't need to make strategic adjustments in order to take care of Wade's mental state.

Judging from the results of the first game and the whole process, it can really be said that it is to sacrifice Wade alone for the benefit of the Heat team.

It's a deal worth it!

He didn't plan to change his strategy, but instead made the Heat more determined to continue to implement this formation in the next tactical arrangement.

The New York Knicks didn't change much either.

In fact, as the seventh-largest team in the East, their roster itself is not strong enough.

Although it is the seventh place in the East, it is ......

Seriously, not making the playoffs in the East is much harder than making the playoffs!

What is the meaning of "the hardest hit area"!

How outrageous is the fact that the New York Knicks are in the playoffs......

Let's put it this way, after the Knicks came to the "smiling assassin", they changed three head coaches in a season, and one head coach changed a lineup. At the same time, the New York Knicks have a whopping 21 players registered this season!

In other words, more than two dozen NBA players have played for the New York Knicks this season.

It can be seen that after Thomas arrived at the New York Knicks, he really tossed a lot!

It was under such circumstances that the New York Knicks entered the final playoff tournament as seventh in the East...... This outrageous degree is really, it's really outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous.

is just a set of lineups that have been run-in, even if the New York Knicks want to change the lineup, it is an eighty-year-old man marrying an eighteen-year-old girl, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

In the second game of the series, there were no surprises, the Knicks mainly focused on Wade, taking advantage of his shortcomings in projection ability and constantly targeting.

Wade played hard, and in the first quarter he shot 1-of-4, and if nothing else, his stats would be ugly again at the end of the game. But if you look closely at Wade's expression, you will find that he is not impatient, but a little bit enjoying the situation.

His mind kept recalling what Woody had said to him the night before after his press conference:

"You're the MVP!"

"You're the MVP!"

"You're the MVP!"

That's the MVP-level sacrifice!

What is there about him to be impatient?

Moreover, just like the previous game, just because he was restricted, the Heat did not encounter any trouble, Odom and Woody's cooperation is still very sharp, the Heat team continued to play attack waves and small climaxes on the offensive end, and as soon as the first half ended, they had a 10-point lead.

In this day and age, a 10-point lead at halftime is already a huge advantage.

The New York Knicks really don't have many ways to target the Heat, and before the start of the series, if you analyze them from various dimensions, in fact, there is only one aspect in which the New York Knicks have a clear advantage over the Heat......

That's their old experience......

Most of the media that are optimistic that the New York Knicks can "make mistakes" also believe that the New York Knicks have better playoff experience. Otherwise, Bill Wharton wouldn't have thought the New York Knicks had missed the best chance to win this series after the last game.

It can be seen from this game that the Heat team grew up after the first game, although they still failed to open a big margin in the first quarter, but from the perspective of the situation, they are more often the side that takes the initiative.

In the end, the game was over, and the Heat won the second game of the series with a 100-87, 13-point difference.

The big score is 2-0.

The situation is great!

Woody once again contributed a "double-double" of 17 points and 14 rebounds.

The score has dropped significantly compared to the previous game.

The reason is that the New York Knicks pay more attention to his position than in the first game, and they are more accurate in judging where he lands after he runs.

One of the many studies by the NBA coaching staff is called "Shooting Hot Spots."

No matter how strong an NBA player is, his scoring percentage is different in each area of the court, and it is always changing. Through data analysis, it is also a way to improve efficiency by judging the shooting hot zone as much as possible.

In the playoffs, the restrictions on players are often arranged according to the shooting hot zone.

The New York Knicks are staring at Woody's "shooting hot zone" tonight to force Woody to make a less comfortable shot.

Defensive Targeting in the Playoffs......

Terrifying!

But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to NBA playoff-level defense, and many players don't find out about their own court habits will be captured. Of course, the defensive intensity at this level also has a lot to do with the strength of the team.

Those teams that are strong defensively tend to pay more attention to these aspects.

The New York Knicks' defensive coach hasn't reached this level yet, but he's already targeted Woody just by virtue of his "shooting hot spot."

Woody made just 1 of 5 mid-range jumpers tonight!

The player knows where his "shooting hot spots" are, and he can't shoot in these areas, or he finds that the opponent is consciously restricting his movement to those areas, which in itself will cause a lot of pressure to shoot.

But Woody's more way of shooting is still "defensive counterattack", so even if he shot 1 of 5 from mid-range, he still shot 8 of 15 in the end, and he hit 7 of the remaining 10 shots!

"If you can't prevent the Heat's defensive counterattack, then you can't really limit Woody!" Kenny Smith points out the key points.

For the New York Knicks, it will also be key to whether they can win the third game of the series.

The next two series will be on the home court of the New York Knicks.

Although Woody and the Heat still need to win two more games to advance, as long as they win this first away game, then they are actually equivalent to locking up the promotion spot in advance.

Because in the history of the NBA, no team has ever been able to complete the "Jedi comeback" when they are down 0-3 in the playoffs!

The New York Knicks lost the first home court of this series, and the hope of eliminating the Heat to advance became a complete 0%!

So the 0-3 and 1-2 look like just a game, but the result is completely different.

The Knicks lost two games in a row, and the New York fans had already blown up.

But when Game 3 of the series kicked off, old Madison Square was packed with New York fans.

As fans of the "Big Apple", they are very pure "champion fans", boasting when they play well and scolding when they don't play well, but they also have absolute fanaticism.

Even though the New York Knicks have not made the playoffs in the past two years, the stadium has always been the first in the league in terms of attendance!

It has to do with the fact that it has a population of more than 6 million......

But if that's the case, Miami was only in the middle of the league in terms of attendance last season, and they also have a population of several million, which shows that big cities are different from big cities. This New York fan is really crazy about basketball!

When Woody and the Heat players came on the court, the boos from the audience came like a storm.

It's so shocking that the brain is buzzing!

The atmosphere is really ......

Spoelstra listened to the boos with some concern.

But next to him, Stan Van Gundy is not in a hurry at all, he has been an assistant coach here for a long time, and he knows very well the urine nature of the New York fans, don't watch them boo the Heat and boo......

"FXXK, what the hell are you guys fighting, can you make some blood!"

"Go home and play in the mud, New York doesn't need you!"

"Raised by a bitch, if you can't win tonight, I want you to take the initiative to disperse!"

……

The sound of invective sounded in the sky.

When the New York Knicks home team players played......

Yes, the New Yorkers booed the Heat very hard, and when it came time for their own team to play, it was no longer a question of booing or not, they just scolded!

The first two games were really too heartwarming for them, they were beaten all the way, and they didn't have the power to fight back at all!

It's a shame that the media are saying that the New York Knicks are stronger than the Heat because of their playoff experience.

Where's that experience?

Have you fed the dogs!

Spoelstra was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had seen a fan of "friend or foe" when he was so big. At the same time, his mood suddenly relaxed.

The boos continued, and Marbury stood in the tunnel ready to play, his face relaxed.

As a Brooklyn legend, he believes his appearances will definitely ......

"Damn, what the hell are you doing here!"

"I can't see the shadow of that Brooklyn legend at all!"

"Is that the level? Stephen, Philadelphia was right to choose Aaron Iverson! ”

Marbury:......

These bitches!

When he returned from trading with the Suns in February, they were excited.

How come this is less than 3 months......

Tired of it?

I'm back in the playoffs with this team for the first time in two years!

Boo me so much!

For the first time as a New Yorker, he felt that New Yorkers were so rude.

The smile disappeared from his face and shifted to Barkley's.

He wasn't targeting Marbury, but this kind of picture was really funny to look at.

In this league, the most affectionate is the general manager of the team.

As long as the players are old and decrepit, then they will immediately turn their faces.

Even more affectionate than the general manager of the team is the fans of the New York Knicks!

But if it is not a "dragon and phoenix among people", then it will inevitably be booed by them.

Even if this person was born in New York since he was a child and grew up on the streets of New York, it is useless!

The starting line-up was given on both sides, and as in the previous two games, there were no changes.

Before the game began, Stan Van Gundy specially called Woody in front of him, wanting to say something, and seeing Wade watching from the side, he called him over: "You have seen half of the crazy appearance of the New York fans, as long as it does not reach the level they want to see, then whether it is the players of this team or not, they will be booed violently."

But......

As long as you can put on a good performance, you'll find that they'll immediately change their attitude and give them the most fervent cheers! ”

"Want to know what that feels like?"

With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the center of the court: "It's there, go uncover it!" ”

Such a remark was full of embarrassment and blood.

Anyway, Wade's eyes lit up.

As for Woody, when he heard that these crazy booing guys could also cheer, his eyes lit up immediately!

Then let the boos disappear and let the cheers ring in this arena!

Woody patted the rest of his teammates on the Heat team: "Let's go, let's quiet this arena first!" ”

Woody was driven by a desperate thought, and he managed to steal the first attack.

The ball goes to Wade.

The other side still takes care of Wade, and in the first two games of being targeted, Wade has gradually adapted to this kind of targeting, at least he is a man who can get an average of 16.8 plus 6 plus 7 per game in the regular season, and it has been two games, and he should grow a little!

After all, it's ......

MVP recognized by Woody!

Again, as in the previous two games, he first attracted the opposing bag, and then suddenly turned his head to find Odom on the flank.

He has been watching Odom's position for both games, which has also made him more familiar with Odom's position.

Odom was a surprise when he got the ball, and his eyes began to look for Woody's movement, and after identifying such a familiar figure, he broke through more firmly.

Wade added him and two breakaways loosened the New York Knicks' defensive formation. Especially Odom this time, the linkage between him and Wade has never been before, and the New York Knicks formation that reacted from the shift suddenly appeared "staggered up and down positions", which is so big that Odom can't help it.

The ball flew towards that space, and when the ball arrived, the familiar figure in his eyes was in that position.

Hold the ball and ......

"Phew!"

The sound of violent buckles rising into the air resounded in Madison Garden Plaza!
