Chapter 131: Great Competition! (10,600 words chapter, kneeling for monthly passes, subscriptions)
Compared to the previous games, fans in front of the TV and at the scene tonight noticed that neither Wang Shuo nor Spoelstra ate ice cream on the sidelines.
In the opening attack, in the face of the Knicks' diamond-shaped position, "White Chocolate" Williams directed Artey and Wade to fall into the bottom corners of both sides, while signaling O'Neal and Haslem to raise to a 45-degree angle on both sides.
On the Knicks bench, Wang Shuo found that according to the characteristics of this Heat, Spoelstra, the master of joint defense, came up with a new routine tonight to dismantle the Knicks' one-star quadruple.
Due to the existence of three seconds of defense, as the Heat opened up the offensive formation, at this moment, even if Yao Ming chose not to follow O'Neal, he had to switch defenses with his teammates and move closer to the bottom corner of Atai's station.
However, at this moment, on the other side, Wade, who received the ball, broke through Finley's defense from the bottom corner in an instant.
On the basketball court, because the space on both sides of the court is relatively small, only dribbling masters generally dare to attack by dribbling in the bottom corners and near the sidelines on both sides.
In Wang Shuo's memory, many of Iverson's famous scenes were created in a small space on both sides, because the defenders thought in their hearts that Iverson could not attack from such a small space.
Wade made his signature move, closing the ball and looping the basketball over Finley's head as he raced with Finley.
Yao Ming, who was pinned down by Atai in the bottom corner, couldn't return at the first time, and Duncan, who wanted to help defend Wade on the wing, was delayed by Haslem.
Bang, boom!
Wade scored a furious layup.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo praised: "Eric has perfectly integrated Dwayne's hard solution into his system of breaking the defense. β
Brown pulled out his tactics board and said, "Do we need a different defensive strategy?" β
Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "Why do you want to change?" Isn't the purpose of our four-link to increase Dwayne's physical exertion on the field? β
Wang Shuo knows very well that the biggest difference between the two major schools of hard solution of outside players, the blasting flow hard solution and the boiled egg hard solution, is the consumption of physical energy.
The Heat and Knicks are the two teams that have conceded the fewest points per 100 possessions in the league this season.
To beat each other, both sides will need to break down each other's defence with a lot of hard breaks during the game.
Coming back, it's the Knicks' turn to break the Heat's rectangular stance.
Duncan lifted up to the left high post, borrowed the ball to Hill's Rondo for cover, and sank to near the three-second zone on the left.
At the same time, Yao Ming also used Finley's cover to pull near the free throw line.
After Yao Ming successfully reached the free throw line area, Hill handed over the ball, and then after holding the basketball high to observe, Yao Ming faked a real pass and hoisted the ball directly to Duncan.
The moment Duncan leaned against Haslem, he turned and hooked his hand.
Bang, bang.
On the Heat bench, Spoelstra complained: "Yao's range is simply cheating, I have never seen a player over 220 cm tall who can have such a soft touch as him." β
Riley nodded, "So, Shaq has to follow Yao out when he stands at the free throw line."
We're going to have to force them to crack down on our defensive system, not for Yao to score with relatively easy shots. β
The traditional center hard solution, most of which are based on back body hard chisels.
But Yao Ming's hard solution, in the past two years, can be described as a school of its own, referred to as "embarrassing solution".
The embarrassing thing is that Yao Ming can rely on his height advantage to directly use his absolute height to strike you from a distance when your defender's defense is not in place.
Some people may ask, with Yao Ming's height, can't he be directly hardened at a long distance?
A: No.
If it is near the three-second zone, Yao Ming will certainly have no problem pulling up against the defender.
Because that area is closer to the basket, Yao Ming has a high success rate even if it is disturbed.
But the farther away from the basket, in the case of defenders' interference, Yao Ming, who is unlikely to be as flexible as a defender, will inevitably greatly reduce his shooting stability and accuracy.
In the future, the reason why Embiid has been criticized is precisely because he did not distinguish priorities, put a good model and did not use it, but regarded himself as a guard.
Yao Ming is not so stupid, he knows that his biggest advantage in long-distance embarrassment is containment.
And in addition to the Knicks' embarrassment, Duncan's "dull solution" is a winning weapon.
CCTV, Director Zhang explained: "Tonight's game is really a pinpoint vs. Maimang, there are two MVPs on both sides, this is a comparable confrontation." β
Director Zhang got to the point.
In Wang Shuo's view, the reason why Stern, the big director, gave Wade the regular season MVP shady this year is that Yao Ming also surpassed a number of leading stars of teams with better records with his personal performance last year......
It is also related to the fact that he wants to direct a round of legendary showdowns with his own hands.
Now, at this moment.
Heat and Knicks, whoever can beat each other will be able to get the biggest prestige cake in the NBA under Stenn!
Because New York is a double king, the Heat is also a double king.
Even if O'Neal's reputation is low, before playing against the Knicks, he was also a super center who was able to cut "20+10" per game!
On the court, the Heat attacked, and Wei Shaoxia broke into Longtan alone after Williams dismantled the Knicks' one-shot quadruple, and picked Grant Hill to succeed!
Coming back, the Knicks possessed the ball, the Tyrannosaurus Rex carried the big shark, turned around and turned over brutally, and pulled out the iron and blood for the Knicks to go to the next city!
Yu Jia, who co-commented with Director Zhang, said with a smile: "It's a good one for you to sing and I'll go on stage!" This series will definitely become the most classic Eastern Conference Finals in NBA history! β
At Madison Square Garden, after a few more rounds, Wang Shuo replaced Duncan with David West.
Not only can no one match Duncan for the Heat's power forward, but also no one can match "Wei Erye".
In this series, it was the Knicks' turn for Duncan to stagger the trip.
Because, the Heat only have one O'Neal.
On the court, as soon as he got on the court, West assisted Yao Ming and blasted the ball into the basket before O'Neal's block.
The basketball mecca is boiling instantly!
On the sidelines, Spike-Lee hugged his head and exclaimed, "Did you see that?" Our little giant blasted Shaq O'Neal away! β
For the old New York fans of the Stars and Stripes, at this moment they hate the Knicks in the 90s without Yao Ming!
Otherwise, the Knicks would have won the league a long time ago!
What are the four centers?
Which of the four centers is comparable to Yao Ming?
On the sidelines, Duncan, who was replaced by Wang Shuo, even though he was ready to travel at a staggered peak, but at this moment, who said that the young Duncan didn't want to eat a bite of shark meat?
The Heat attacked, and on the bench, after patting Spoelstra on the shoulder, Riley said, "One more minute, we're going to have to change Manu." β
The young Shuai nodded, and looked at Ginobili, whose eyes were sparkling on the bench.
What makes a great game?
The great thing about the game is that even the two teams sitting on the benches can feel the atmosphere of this series that is completely different from the rest of the game!
Although, this round of the East Finals has just begun.
But almost everyone realizes that every player who plays in this round of the Eastern Conference will go down in history.
On the court, after the layup of "dpoy" Artest on the Heat's side was called out of the bottom line by the Knicks' "dpoy" Yao Ming, the Heat made a substitution.
Ginobili up, Williams down.
After the substitution, the Heat had the ball.
After borrowing O'Neal to cover the left 45-degree angle, Ginobili hit a three-point shot from a high level back!
On the sidelines, when Ginobili leaned back, because Wang Shuo was standing not far from him, Wang Shuo, who noticed the bare patch above Ginobili's head, subconsciously touched his head.
OK.
There is no risk of baldness for the time being.
Madison Square Garden, as the first quarter entered the second half, Director Zhang explained: "The two teams really broke the joint defense tonight.
I've played so many basketball games in my life, but I've never seen so many ways to break a defense in a game. β
CCTV, as soon as Director Zhang's voice fell, on the court, the Knicks played a pretty beautiful Spanish block.
Seeing this, Director Zhang said: "Even if you let the Spanish national team come, they can't play such a high-quality Spanish block!" β
What Director Zhang said is also true.
Because it doesn't matter if it's the golden generation, how can the players of the Spanish men's basketball team compare with the quality of this Knicks?
In the second half of the first quarter, the Heat and the Knicks made substitution adjustments one after another.
The Heat used Walker and Posey to replace Haslem and Artest, and prepared in advance for the second quarter.
The Knicks, on the other hand, replaced J.R. Smith and Dujon with Rondo and Finley, who were quickly exhausted.
In this regard, Yu Jia sighed: "Both sides are constantly changing players tonight, but the quality of the game has not decreased because of this. β
Director Zhang nodded and said, "What does this mean?" It shows that these two teams are both championship-level teams, so can the bench be the same as other teams? β
Basketball mecca, the first quarter was over, 30-30.
Before the start of the second quarter, during the intermission, Wang Shuo patted Yao Ming on the back and said, "You only have a 4-minute break in the second quarter of this game. β
Yao Ming nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, my physical condition this year is much better than last year." β
On the Heat's bench, looking at O'Neal, who was gasping for breath, Spoelstra came to his side and said: "Shaq, I can't give you more rest tonight like I did before, because the Knicks will definitely replace Yao early." β
Hearing this, although he was beaten into a super blue-collar game against the Knicks again, after taking a big breath, O'Neal still said: "If you need to, you can let me play the whole game!" β
No, what's wrong with blue-collar workers?
If the Heat can overturn this Knicks, wouldn't the blue-collar team be a championship center?
At this moment, where does O'Neill still have the temper of his early years?
Whether it's holding a urinal, blocking Wade on the court, or doing dirty work when defending.
He just wants to win another championship.
In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks' lineup was: Duncan, West, Barnes, Jr. Smith, and Duhon.
The Heat's on-court lineup is: Mourning, Walker, Artay, Posey, Ginobili.
The Knicks had the ball, and after Dujon dribbled past half court, West quickly pulled up to the top.
On the sidelines, Spoelstra, who saw the Knicks' attack formation clearly, hurriedly reminded the players on the court: "Pistol! It's a pistol! Watch out for their number two! β
However, as soon as Spoelstra's words fell, Jr. Smith finished a sniper shot on the court before Artay's defensive rotation was completed!
Although JR's three-point shot failed to hit, at the bottom of the basket, Duncan completed a dunk directly on Mourning's head!
Duncan, the peak of staggered travel, how can you prevent it?
Bang Dangββ!
Coming back, the Heat attacked, looking at the slender Barnes, Atay wanted to play hard with the ball.
But after confronting him for a while, Atai discovered:
This guy seems to be a ruthless guy too!
Skinny and skinny, but Barnes isn't really afraid of you hitting him on the court.
On the field, Atay, who knew that he had wasted a lot of offensive time in this wave of temptation, hurriedly transferred the ball to Ginobili who came out of the weak side.
Ginobili was defended by Duncan after changing direction and shaking past Smith in front of his body.
Then, at the moment when he was about to close the ball and lean back, Ginobili suddenly stunned the Knicks fans at the scene.
Because, Ginoby used a Buddha worship to successfully ignite Duncan!
In the Knicks penalty area, after Ginobili jumped, he split Aconcagua Mountain with one hand!
At the scene, seeing this scene, an Argentine female fan hidden among the Knicks fans suddenly took off her coat and revealed the Argentine flag painted on her body in a painted way.
At this moment, the big and small men in New York all looked at this female fan.
So, do you want to say that art knows no borders?
At this moment, for this female fan who came from afar and dared to show her art, the home audience not only did not boo, but also applauded her!
On the court, the Knicks attacked, and after Dujon and West completed the joint defensive dismantling work, Duncan sat on the inside to play Mourning.
Duncan probed his left shoulder, chiseled and squeezed old Monin behind him.
At his peak, Mo Ning couldn't even get Duncan, let alone him who had become a "kidney fighter" at the moment?
Bang Dangββ!
Duncan has two consecutive buckles, this "stone Buddha" is going to be just right tonight!
On the sidelines, Riley touched his chin and pondered: "Their idea in this game is to force us to compete with them. β
"Wang's coaching style has always been like this, by sacrificing some counterpoint, or voluntarily giving up certain resources, to compete with the opponent what he is best at," Spoelstra said. β
In this G1 battle in the East Finals, it is obvious that Wang Shuo never thought about killing Wade and Ginobili at all.
No matter how many times the Heat successfully dismantled the Knicks' one-shot quadruple, Wang Shuo never wavered.
Not for anything else, just to limit the interior offense of other players of the Heat on the court.
In addition, Wade and Ginobili will be charged a "toll".
In Wang Shuo's opinion, as long as Wade and Ginobili pay enough "tolls", then they want to get points, just take it.
Basketball is like two armies facing each other, if you compare this series between the Heat and Knicks to a big battle.
Wang Shuo's idea of this round of the series is obviously "Lao Qin's style of play", using volume to crush you.
Although the data often deceives people, the success rate of Yao Ming and Duncan's hard solutions on the court is not deceiving.
On the court, after playing for four minutes in the second quarter, Yao Ming returned to the court, and "Wei Erye" rested.
On the Heat side, O'Neal also returned to the court after taking his breath.
On the sidelines, Riley smiled bitterly: "We were led by the nose by them in this game. β
Spoelstra said, "How do we deal with it, teacher? β
Tactically, although the young Si Shuai is far stronger than the same period in history in Wang Shuo's memory, in terms of strategy, it is obvious that he still has to rely on Riley for guidance.
Hearing this, after pondering for a while, Riley said, "Don't worry, they are the first to make a move in this series." And it's not like we're out of chances.
In basketball, it also depends on the performance of the players on both sides on the court.
Wait two more minutes and we'll replace Dwayne. β
On the Knicks bench, looking at Riley, who was calm and calm at the moment, Wang Shuo could be said to have fully felt the pressure brought to him by Riley, the legendary coach.
Being calm and patient is also a necessary quality for a good coach.
When the battle situation on the field is controlled by the other side, the side that is inferior in the situation must wait for the right moment to make changes.
Because sometimes, it's better not to adjust blindly than to adjust at all.
On the court, the Knicks attacked, and after Yao Ming successfully created O'Neal's foul, the Heat made substitutions, Wade went up, and Posey went down.
In the second half of the quarter, the scores of the two teams were still very bitten.
As Riley said, despite the Heat's passive situation, the Heat players were in pretty good shape tonight.
At halftime, it was 57-60.
On the Heat's side, Wade scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in the half.
Ginobili had 13 points, three assists and two rebounds.
On the Knicks' side, Duncan scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists in the half.
Yao Ming had 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist.
After the break, the two teams changed sides and fought again.
After Wang Shuo played about four and a half minutes in the quarter, he replaced Yao Ming with West.
Seeing this, the Heat took the countermeasure of blocking the water and covering the earth, and removed O'Neal with Mourning.
West played well in this quarter, facing Haslem, in addition to sitting in the low post several times to hit strong shots, he also pulled out two iron shots in the high post, cutting 13 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter.
However, the Heat's substitution of Ginobili in the second half of the quarter also had an eye-catching performance, especially when he hit a "flat back-up" shot at the end of the third quarter......
Seeing that many fans at the scene showed the same emoji that Anilu found that the electric shock was ineffective for Luffy.
CCTV, Director Zhang explained: "The biggest feature of the team led by Wang Shuo is that he rarely takes a pinch attack on the opponent's core players in the game, and the defense is mainly to cut off the contact between the opponent's core players and teammates. β
In the round of the finals between the Wizards and the Lakers, no matter how O'Neal called for wind and rain on the court, Wang Shuo never paid attention to him from beginning to end.
On the contrary, it was Kobe Bryant, who was full of big "men" in that round of the finals, and the left and right were "men".
This year, it's O'Neill's turn to suffer.
In this game, before being substituted off the break, O'Neal made 1 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, and only got 4 points and 5 rebounds.
Facing the Knicks' interior twin towers, O'Neal knew that he would have to be mixed doubles by Yao Ming and Duncan as soon as he entered the low post.
So in this game, he simply kept blocking and dismantling his teammates in the game, using his model advantage to help the Heat dismantle the Knicks' joint defense system.
On the sidelines, Marlone asked curiously: "If Shaq was also so active on the court back then, would it be difficult for us to cut off the connection between him and his teammates and Kobe?" β
Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Yes." β
In the NBA, in Wang Shuo's eyes, the best thing to do in using teammates has to be the peak Danzi.
Don't look at Jordan's career with only 5.3 assists, but at his peak, this boiled egg was definitely the "on-court capitalist" who knew how to squeeze his teammates in the NBA.
A lot of times, when his teammates can be relied on, Jordan will use his attraction as much as possible to create offensive opportunities for his teammates.
Because Jordan knows very well that no matter how good a scorer is, there is a limit to his score.
Instead of wasting your physical energy on farming stats, why not leave your physical energy for a wave of critical hits that take away your opponent at critical moments?
In fact, Cole's thinking about using Curry in the future is probably the same.
It's just that Kerr overlooked one point, and that is that Curry is not comparable to Jordan in terms of model.
And as a historic three-point shooter, Curry's feel can't be guaranteed when he can't touch the ball for a long time.
In front of the TV, looking at O'Neal, who was willing to become a blue-collar worker tonight, Kobe Bryant didn't understand why this fathead fish couldn't understand this truth back then.
Kobe Bryant was lucky.
Regardless of past or present lives, because at the time of the "OK" breakup, Kobe's age was determined, and after the two of them woke up, he would have more opportunities to prove himself.
Therefore, the precipitation period after the "OK" breakup made Kobe Bryant a better player.
In the Tongliao universe, if it is said that "more prisons and more gains" is the way for the gods from all walks of life to achieve enlightenment.
In the NBA, "being beaten and frustrated" is the best "dragon field enlightenment".
In fact, with the Lakers traveling for two consecutive years, Kobe Bryant is also thinking about his own problems at the moment.
Madison Square Garden, three quarters, 84-88 on the scoreboard.
In the final quarter of the game, the Knicks' on-court lineup was Yao Ming, West, Hill, Jr. Smith, and Duhong.
The Heat's on-court lineup is O'Neal, Walker, Artay, Posey, and Ginobili.
In the first half of the quarter, Wade had to go off the court to rest, and the other four teammates could shoot three-pointers, so O'Neal had to face up to Yao Ming's defense to ease the team's scoring pressure.
In fact, "a shark shooting" is also the most correct way to use this O'Neal.
Because only by giving O'Neal enough space to pull him can he exert his maximum power in the low post.
The Lakers were good at everything, and the only problem was that no one could be relied on except for Kobe.
In the last quarter, the Heat attacked first.
The Heat used the triangle offense to successfully give O'Neal the opportunity to single Yao Ming in the low post.
On the field, after slamming and chiseling Yao Ming twice, O'Neal turned around and hooked his hand.
However, with a roar from the Tyrannosaurus rex, O'Neal's hook hand was firmly beaten by Yao Ming.
Seeing this scene, the Knicks fans at home climaxed again!
Because this is a real v-one real man battle!
Yao Ming, "single-killed" O'Neill!
At this moment, no matter how angry O'Neill was in his heart, he couldn't beat the erosion that the years brought to him.
The Heat served the baseline ball, and thankfully, Atai stepped up and hit a life-saving three-pointer for the Heat before the end of the 24-second offensive time.
87 to 88.
When he retreated, Atai patted O'Neal on the back and encouraged him: "Come on, Shaq, you are the only player on our interior who can fight against Yao!" β
O'Neill never imagined that one day he would be reduced to being comforted by his teammates.
At this moment, O'Neal suddenly felt a little nostalgic for Kobe.
Because he obviously prefers the guy who will always talk to him and taunt each other at times like this rather than being comforted by his teammates.
Coming back, the Knicks offense, the same triangle offense.
Tonight, in front of the TV, Phil Jackson didn't understand, Wang Shuo and Riley grabbed him all day long, but in the game, these two have been attacking with triangles.
Co-authoring me, do you mean to bully me alone?
Jackson got it right.
Because in the NBA, Jackson is so hated.
If the peak Jordan is the "goddess" in the minds of all NBA coaches.
Then let's ask, who can stand their "goddess" being occupied by others for a long time?
And Jackson didn't say that he played "Goddess", the most important thing is that after he put on his pants, he also said afterwards that he could play "Goddess" because he was "handsome".
This Nima, which coach can bear it?
Historically, even though Jackson has a total of 11 championship rings, he is not as tall as many coaches of his time in the eyes of his peers.
Compared with it, why do peers like Wang Shuo?
Because Wang Shuo not only helped everyone train a lot of "goddesses", but he also had the courage to constantly change places to train new "goddesses".
On the court, Yao Ming also singled O'Neill with his back.
Unfortunately, the Tyrannosaurus rex failed to chisel the big shark.
But Yao Ming never wanted to be tough with O'Neill.
In the low post, after feeling the defensive intensity of O'Neal, Yao Ming did not hesitate to sacrifice his flip back.
Swish!
87 to 90.
In Madison Square Garden, Yao Ming's offense and defense can be said to have fueled the arrogance of Knicks fans, and in the stands, Knicks fans shouted at O'Neal: "Go home, Shaq!" You'll never be Yao's opponent! β
For O'Neal, Knicks fans also have a lot of bad memories back then.
Because although Ewing had beaten O'Neal in the early part of his career, since the 94/95 season, O'Neal has basically bullied the "gorilla" when he faced Ewing.
So, Shaq, when people come out to mix, they always have to pay it back.
In the final quarter, after four minutes of play, the Heat and Knicks asked for substitutions one after another.
The Heat replaced Wade and Haslem with Walker and Ginobili.
As a "demon knife" that needs to be charged to exert its maximum power, the Heat must change to Ginobili to charge it for a while and then replace him back.
On the Knicks' side, Duncan and Rondo were replaced by West and Duhon.
On the court, the Heat attacked, and Wade used O'Neal to cover and puff out his cheeks and rush in.
JR, who had a bit of a short circuit in his brain, couldn't switch back when Duncan delayed him, instead giving the Heat a chance to disrupt the Knicks' defensive formation.
Wade assists O'Neal and hits a two-pointer from the basket.
97 to 101.
Coming back, after the Knicks possessed the ball, Yao Ming, Duncan, and Hill formed a triangle, and Yao Ming fell into the low post to hit O'Neal with his back.
Haslem was pinched in the first place, and after Yao Ming returned the ball to Duncan, Duncan hit it with iron and blood in the high post.
Duncan's career is around 40 percent of both points from long range.
This hit rate may not be as good as that of those colleagues who rely on iron and blood to eat, but if you dare to let Duncan go, Duncan will also dare to show you iron blood.
On the sidelines, Riley knew the Heat couldn't sit still, so after two minutes, he was replaced by Ginobili.
Now, the two teams are competing to see who has the higher offensive success rate.
On the court, Yao Ming leaned sideways and the rebound was protected by O'Neal, and the Heat finally ushered in a great opportunity to chase points in the second half of the final quarter.
The Heat attacked, Wade immediately distributed the ball to Ginobili after launching the pistol, and the latter was not soft, hitting three points from the outside!
110 to 112!
Finley Sr., who returned to the court midway through the final quarter, didn't miss the ball.
But the reason why Ginobili can "slay gods and demons in a desperate situation" is precisely because he won't reason with you when he feels good.
CCTV, Director Zhang explained: "The next attack on the Knicks must be scored, otherwise the Heat is likely to overtake the score." β
On the Knicks bench, Wang Shuo said after two seconds of silence: "Let JR warm up, he feels better than Michael tonight."
And Michael's physical fitness is also a little unbearable, so if it goes on, both Dwayne and Manu can get what they want in front of him. β
Brown nodded and said, "I'll let him prepare." β
On the court, Duncan forced Haslem to make a foul and go to the free throw line.
Taking advantage of this dead ball, the Knicks removed Finley Sr., who was tormented back and forth by Wade and Ginobili tonight, and replaced it with J.R. Smith, who was more physical.
At the critical moment, Duncan, who rarely made free throws, hit both free throws.
110 to 114.
But as soon as he came back, J.R. Smith, who had just come on the court, made a big mistake in defense.
He was picked up by Ginobili and was successfully made a three-point foul by Ginobili.
CCTV, Director Zhang sighed and said, "Jr. Smith! You say you're well guarded, why do you want to jump? β
Jr. Smith was also a bit depressed with the ball.
Fortunately, there are no pressure monsters on the Knicks.
After stepping forward and rubbing Smith's head, Duncan said, "Good defense, but remember not to jump next time, Manu is a fraudster on the court, be careful that he cheats you out of all the money in your purse." β
Then, Yao Ming also stepped forward and patted Smith's head and said, "Play hard, don't care about this foul just now." β
After being comforted by the team's two eldest brothers, Smith's mood immediately recovered.
As one of the NBA's most emotional players, the single-threaded Jr. Smith has always been able to draw magic cards this season, precisely because Yao Ming and Duncan never complain about his mistakes on the court.
At the free throw line, Ginobili hit all three free throws in the face of boos and narrowed the gap between the two teams to one point.
Immediately afterward, the two teams fought a few more rounds.
With 37 seconds left in the final quarter, Wade used the crossover from the outside to get rid of Jr. Smith's close entanglement, suddenly exploded the ball and withdrew from the three-point line, and tied the score with a three-point shot!
On the sidelines, looking at the score of 120-120 on the scoreboard, Wang Shuo looked back at Brown and said, "What is Dwayne's three-point shooting percentage in this year's playoffs?" β
"38 percent, but he's shot less, averaging less than two shots per game," Brown said. β
All right.
You may not believe it, but Wade's career playoff three-pointers are better than his regular-season threes.
Historically, Wade has also shot 37.8 percent from three-point range in the playoffs this season.
On the court, after Wade equalized for the Heat, Wang Shuo took a timeout, ready to set up the Knicks' key round offense.
On the Heat's bench, Spoelstra said to Riley: "Teacher, that's what you said before, we need to be patient and wait for the opportunity, right?" β
Riley laughed, "Eric, this is basketball, I'm three points!" β
During the pause, Wang Shuo's offensive arrangement was very simple, first Yao Ming and Rondo were in the high post to block and dismantle to see if there was a chance to attack quickly.
Because the 37-second offensive time determines that if the Knicks can win this offense, then they will have another chance to attack after the Heat attack.
After the timeout, the Knicks' sideline ball was sent smoothly, and Rondo also managed to break into the box with Yao Ming's cover.
Inside, seeing that Haslem and O'Neal could not return at the first time, Wade hurried towards the penalty area!
This ball, when Wade jumped up and was about to cover himself, Rondo's vision can only be described as pitch black!
Fortunately, the calm Director Lang did not choose to challenge Wade, but distributed the ball to Jr. Smith, who had been following Wade!
Madison Square Garden, watching JR prepare for an empty basket, the home fans were even ready to cheer and celebrate.
But......
Jaw-dropping......
Jr. Smith actually sent a god to cross a bridge!
CCTV, Director Zhang opened his mouth wide and said: "Can't you get into the empty basket?" β
In the Heat restricted area, Rondo struggled to grab rebounds, but the speed could not match Wade.
At the scene, with the Heat taking a timeout, the initiative in this game has now fallen to the Heat.
During the pause, Director Zhang kept complaining about Jr. Smith: "Even if you choose to dunk directly? As far as Jr. Smith's physical fitness, didn't he just dunk the ball casually? β
The mistake was clearly a bigger blow to J.R. Smith's confidence than when he was first substituted in the final quarter.
Because he almost missed a chance to kill this game.
On the Knicks bench, Mike Brown lowered his voice and said to Wang Shuo: "We ...... Do you want to replace the JR? β
Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "Replace him now, this kid's confidence will definitely be hit." Don't be suspicious, don't forget, he's also a player who hit 10 three-pointers for us in a single game. β
After a timeout, the Heat attacked.
Wade stepped forward again, and after coming out of the weak side to catch the ball, he first turned, then turned and rolled over from the baseline.
Ordinary people, turning so many times in a row, let alone shooting, I'm afraid people are dizzy.
But this ball, Wade not only kept his body balanced when he shot, but he also successfully hit this ball for the Heat!
122 to 120!
Seeing this, the Heat bench boiled instantly, and O'Neal also rushed to Wade at the first time and gave him a bear hug.
However, because the Knicks still have 12.4 seconds of offensive time after Wade scored this goal, the Knicks fans at the scene were still in a relatively "good" and "stable" mood.
In front of the technical table, Wang Shuo took the Knicks' last timeout and arranged a rush tactic.
After the timeout, the Knicks had a lineup of Yao Ming, Duncan, Hill, Smith, and Rondo.
The Heat's on-court lineup is Mourning, Haslem, Artay, Posey, and Wade.
The Heat replaced O'Neal because Spoelstra was worried about the Knicks betting on three points.
On the court, the Knicks' sideline ball went smoothly, Yao Ming and Duncan continued to do double cover in the high post, Hill cut the basket for the first time, and received Rondo's assist to score the ball!
122 to 122!
After wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Director Zhang explained: "It has to be Old Hill!" His movement is so spiritual in this ball! β
At the scene, because it only took 4.7 seconds to attack the Knicks, the Heat also took their last timeout, ready to arrange the final attack.
During the timeout, Finley Sr. took the initiative to rub Jr. Smith's shoulder and once again emphasized Wade's playing habits.
And Wang Shuo reminded the players that in addition to Wade, they must be optimistic about other players of the Heat.
After a timeout, the Heat hit the sideline.
The home fans at Madison Square Garden pulled their voices up to the top and frantically shouted "defend, defend."
The Heat's sideline ball was also unmistakable, with Wade successfully borrowing O'Neal, who was substituted after a timeout, and Mourning, who was left on the court, to get around the cover.
And the moment Wade got the ball, the on-site timer also began to count the seconds.
Although Wade was nicknamed "The Flash", in order to avoid being trapped, he launched an attack almost immediately after receiving the ball this time.
Jr. Smith couldn't jam Wade's breakaway position, but Duncan slid sideways in time to delay Wade for him.
Wade slowed down a bit as he held the ball.
Because he had plenty of time to see if he chose to pass the ball or take advantage of the re-acceleration tempo change after the slowdown.
However, in the split second Wade's slowdown......
Smith, who had been shaken by him before, appeared behind him by a ghost!
Jr. Smith, who only has a single thread in his brain, did not choose to switch defenses with Duncan after Wade passed him just now!
Because all he could think about was Dwayne and Dwayne that Finley kept emphasizing in his ear during the timeout just now!
On the court, after pulling out the basketball from Wade's hand from the side like Havlicek, looking at Rondo, who had already rushed to the court, Smith handed the ball up with a flying action!
Madison Square Garden, the hearts of Knicks fans are already hanging in their throats at the moment!
But after winning the ball, Rondo, who had been running at full speed all the way, did not rush, but looked up at the timer and completed the shot before the timer returned to zero!
Rajon Rondo, kill the Miami Heat!
CCTV, after glancing at the technical statistics, Director Zhang said in disbelief: "This seems to be Rondo's first score tonight, right?" β
Yu Jia said excitedly: "There are no more points!" The key is to do it! β
At the scene, Yao Ming and Duncan ran to Jr. Smith, who was sitting on the floor crying at the moment, with an excited face.
Although, without those mistakes Smith made before, the Knicks would not have been forced into such a desperate situation by the Heat.
But......
The game does not exist if.
After all, with Finley Sr.'s physical strength on the verge of collapse at the end of the quarter, who knows what the outcome would be if Finley Sr. continued to stay on the court?
Tonight, J.R. Smith completes his redemption!
And the rookie Rondo once again showed his big heart to the world!
Because when Knicks fans from all over the world were dying, he actually ...... You can even look up at the timer calmly!
On the Heat bench, Riley hibernated all night and didn't expect the final moments of this game to be so dramatic.
And on the sidelines, looking at Wang Shuo, who was still calm at the moment, Brown couldn't help it, and said, "Wang, we killed the Heat, you ...... Can't you just smile? β
Hearing this, Wang Shuo said after "smiling" at Brown: "Mike, this round of the series has just begun. β
The lore, of course, is worth rejoicing.
But in this game, the Heat was able to force the Knicks to win through a stunner, which also proved from the side that this Heat team does have the strength to beat the Knicks.
After clenching his fists, Wang Shuo said with a serious face: "In this game, there are two places where we are not good enough. β
Seeing this, Brown and the others hurriedly took out a small notebook.
However, Wang Shuo said after a pause: "But tonight, we still enjoy the joy brought to us by victory first.
I'll talk to you about what we didn't do well when we come back to the game tomorrow. β
Brown et al.: "......"
