Chapter 135: Advance to the second round
Woody's "triple hat" went all the way from the inside hat to outside the three-point line, and finally formed a fast-break counterattack to help his teammates complete the goal.
This series of operations directly stunned the New York fans at the scene.
The cheers grew louder and louder, and they became more and more unable to control their emotions, and finally the cheers resounded throughout Madison Garden Plaza. And it goes on, just like paying Xuanmai chewing gum, it can't stop at all.
Kenny Smith shouted excitedly, spitting, "What do I see? What do I see? ”
“OMG!”
"Woody!"
"He's put on such a very big block show!"
"It's not the first time I've seen a player pull back on a block, but it's definitely the most bombastic block show I've ever seen!"
The point is that his span is too big.
The general block show is that the blocker waits for the opponent to rush up again and again on the inside, Woody is good, he is directly chasing the ball all the way to the "big hat", just that posture, to be honest, the passing dog will be slapped.
Bill Wharton said: "It's going to be a classic picture of Woody's career!" ”
It doesn't matter if he can play it in the future, because this "triple hat" is too exaggerated!
The New York fans turned against each other, and the atmosphere at the scene also fell directly to Woody and the Heat, and the next game did not have any ups and downs, the New York Knicks plummeted, and the Heat set a new record for the largest single-game point difference in this round of the series in Madison Square Garden.
107 to 87!
That's a 20-point difference!
The big score is 3-0!
No, no more chances......
Based on the NBA's playoff history over so many years, the New York Knicks' hopes of advancing to the next round will be 100%, and now they are only a matter of time before they are eliminated.
In the end, Woody, who made the entire Madison Garden Square scream and cheer, got a total of 34 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 6 blocks and 2 steals.
In addition, Wade also changed the trend in this game, with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
Although his performance was not as outstanding as Woody's, his stats were much better than the previous two games.
This game also showed his adaptability.
It means that this honest and honest guy is actually a promising "potential stock"!
Pat Riley took the initiative to send a message to Wade after watching the game:
- Man, I see your growth, and your potential, you're nowhere near where you can be!
These words made Wade ecstatic.
Because Pat Riley took the initiative against him, especially when he knocked on the side, after learning that Pat Riley didn't send a message to Woody, he felt that his position in Pat Riley's heart finally caught up with Woody a little.
Where there's a will, there's a way!
Someday, he'll take Woody's place in Pat Riley's mind.
The "God Operator" really didn't send a message to Woody......
He called Woody directly.
It was hard to hide the excitement in his tone.
In the first game, Woody scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals.
In the second game, Woody's stats were 17 points and 14 rebounds.
Seriously, after the second game, Pat Riley was still worried about whether Woody was just like that.
Although, such data is already a top rookie performance.
But there is still some gap from the top level.
There is a saying that "three years old looks old".
The level of a rookie's first playoff appearance can actually tell the future of him.
Even like Kobe, it is indeed tempered step by step.
But one thing is undeniable......
Like Abdul-Jabbar, "Magic" Johnson and Michael Jordan or something, that's the peak of debut.
Woody's age is here, and his peak is definitely not the same as the peaks of the above, which is too harsh for him.
But just for now, such data, as far as Pat Riley thinks, can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
As a result, in this game, Woody gave him a satisfied smile with a higher-level performance.
No matter what level of rookie it is compared to, it is a top performance.
Especially this is still a performance in front of his "old club", which makes him even more satisfied!
Of course, the most satisfying thing is that after this game, the big score came to 3-0, and they can advance to the second round by winning one more game. The last time the Heat advanced to the second round, it was 98 years, and it has been 6 years since I knew it!
Now, it is finally back to the heights of the past......
It was a successful season!
Stan Van Gundy also praised Woody and Wade after the game, but in the daily training the next day, he still reminded everyone: "The series is not over yet, everything is still possible, and the only way to avoid a bad situation is to let us end this game quickly!" ”
Winning the fourth game of the series is the real end!
The Heat continued to maintain their high morale under his reminder.
The fourth game of the series arrived as scheduled.
Or the home of the New York Knicks.
The whole home atmosphere is already "dead air".
The Knicks players are not very motivated.
The reason is simple:
There was a huge boo from the moment they entered the stadium.
Losing by 20 points in their home stadium in the last game made the New York fans a little furious and completely lost their minds.
And their boos have dampened the fighting spirit of the Knicks players for the city.
Anyway, the money has already arrived, whether he is 4-1 or directly "swept" out!
From the very beginning of this game, the New York Knicks were not on the run to win.
Still, they have goals they want to accomplish......
That's to limit Woody anyway!
After the third game of the series, Woody's "all-time rookie" stats caused an uproar in the outside world.
In the case of Carmelo Anthony's continued slump, Woody has become the brightest star of the "03 generation". Originally, the other two in the "Three Heavenly Prides" could still share some starlight, but now, one has been watching the car at home, and the other is completely inferior to the regular season, making Woody completely "outstanding" and leading the way in this "draft year".
His consecutive "triple hats" have become the "best game shots" of many media such as TNT, ESPN, bleachers, and FOX.
That's the specs, let's put it that way......
Worthy of the temple!
The New York Knicks, which served as a backdrop, were naturally ridiculed by many media.
The Knicks head coach recorded all these ridicules and threw them in front of the Knicks players before Game 4 began: "This is the honor that this newcomer has achieved on your heads, he has ridden on your heads and, but you can't even let out a fart!" ”
In such a situation, Woody naturally became their "thorn in the eye" and "thorn in the flesh".
In Game 4 of the series, they were very focused on cutting off Woody's catch.
After all, whether this guy scores on the run or makes a mid-range jumper, he needs his teammates to feed the ball.
As long as you cut off the route of passing the ball to him, you can completely make him score less!
Woody quickly sensed the New York Knicks' intentions, and he immediately changed his style of play, starting to create more space for his teammates to receive the ball and run space. Wade was comfortable in this game, because the whole space was pulled very open.
The Heat quickly gained the upper hand and gradually developed an advantage!
At the end of the game, Wade scored a series-high 22 points.
He was accustomed to being restricted, and suddenly he was no longer so targeted, just like taking off the shackles, which was called a free, prodigal wreck.
It's not just Wade who has benefited, but Odom as well, and the offensive end has been more or less better than usual.
It's easy to defend one person with the ball.
It would be too difficult to defend one person to catch the ball, or even cut it off as completely as possible, and it would take an entire team's defensive strength to barely do it.
Woody took on the responsibility of Wade in the first two games tonight.
He only took 11 shots in total.
6~7 times less than in the previous games!
But these shots are all very good opportunities, basically you can shoot with the ball, and you can score the ball when you shoot. Woody hit eight of those 11 shots to score a total of 16 points, and if it weren't for the dunks that affected his touch, he could have scored even more on 1-of-5 free throws.
He also grabbed 14 rebounds and a playoff high six assists.
Plus 4 blocks and 2 steals......
His presence is still not to be ignored!
The Knicks were originally quite excited.
Because they did a good job of completing the task and limited Woody's shots.
Compared with the previous game, in this game, Woody's shots can be said to be too much less.
But when they looked at the final data table, they looked confused.
How do they feel different from what they thought it was?
Drexler was also a little surprised when he saw the datasheet: "When did Woody fill in all this data?" ”
He also saw the New York Knicks' containment of Woody in all aspects, and he also felt that it was quite successful.
But as a result, you tell me that he got the data of "15 plus 15 plus 5"?
This......
The Knicks player remembered in hindsight that Woody scored 34 points in the last game!
The number of goals scored in this game is lower than in the previous game......
It doesn't seem like a big deal!
Woody's own expression was flat when he saw the data.
No one knows better than him how much he's racking his brains in this match.
Ability to hold the ball......
It's really critical!
He has to make up for that ability this summer.
Otherwise, look at the change in his score, from 34 to 17 points, as long as someone catches the ball against him, his score can be directly reduced by half......
It seems that without good ball holding ability, there is really no way to become a real "supergiant"!
However, the New York Knicks also paid a heavy price for it, losing by another 16 points in this game.
In all four games, they have lost by an average of 15 points per game.
In this day and age, this is a very exaggerated loss!
At the same time, they were swept out of the tournament 4-0.
How embarrassed this posture is, how embarrassed it is!
Miami people can be regarded as ruthlessly avenging the revenge of being "Black Eight" in 99.
It can be seen that the Heat fans are really satisfied, and the Heat team who returned to Miami at half past two in the morning was blocked at the airport.
A large group of Heat fans who spontaneously came to pick up the airport.
All kinds of cheers converged into a symphony, and those who didn't know thought that a party was going on here!
Since the start of the season, the Heat team has rekindled the passion for basketball among many Miamins.
But when did the Miami want to accompany this team step by step to the top.
Then most of the Miamins must have started with the Heat's 4-0 sweep of the Knicks tonight......
This "revenge battle" is really comfortable to win!
There is still so much media that is not optimistic about the Heat before the key game.
This person is alive, is there anything more exciting than "snapping" and slapping others in the face?
And......
Woody was unhappy with his performance in Game 4 and couldn't wait to make up for his own ball-handling problems.
But Heat fans are very happy with his performance in these four games.
After the first round of the series, Woody played in 4 games, averaging 37.8 minutes per game, averaging 23.25 points, 14.25 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.5 blocks and 2 steals per game, shooting 55% from the field and 70% from the free throw line!
Full top post player stats.
The 18-year-old genius turned over such a stat sheet in the first round of his career series, and all they could say was one sentence:
In the wind and rain, we accompany you!
Up to the top!
If you let them know, Woody is still not very satisfied with himself, and he still wants to improve his ball-handling ability, but I'm afraid that his mouth will be crooked......
What kind of "fairy baby rookie" is this that we have met!
Is the big luck that belongs to Miami coming?
With a 4-0 win over the New York Knicks, the Heat became the first team to reach the second round of the playoffs this season.
This was a situation that no one expected before the first round of the playoffs!
In fact, for the Heat, a newly formed team, to reach the semifinals in the first year is actually considered a success...... After all, there are only 8 teams a year that can reach this position!
This year's Heat team has not yet reached the "luxury tax line", so what more bikes do you need!
Even if they finish second in the East in the regular season, that is more than enough......
But that's clearly not the case with the Heat.
After finishing the first round of the series, they quickly got into the rest of the preparations.
In the current East, except for the Heat's 4-0 victory over the Knicks, the Pacers currently lead the Boston Celtics 3-1 and are just one step away from qualifying.
The Nets and Pistons also got match points and are now waiting for the final blow!
During this time, the final results of the season's "Sixth Man of the Year", "Best General Manager" and "Best Head Coach" were also announced......
"Sixth Man of the Season" belongs to Antoine Jamison!
