Pat Riley was playing on the bench, he was encouraging his players, he was cheering Wade loudly, he praised Wade as the best defender of the new era, and he firmly believed that Wade could keep Sushiy at bay.

At the same time, he is also igniting O'Neill's fighting spirit.

At this point, no matter how strong a coach is, there is only one thing left left: to get their superstars excited.

Tactics, on the contrary, are secondary things.

Gary Payton sat next to him, his mind a little detached, he didn't seem to be very interested in what was happening in front of him, his mind was diverging. It felt very familiar to him.

Déjà vu.

That's right, it was when the Pacers faced off in the Finals that year. The coaching staff also cheered for O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, hoping that they would show real dominance.

However, that series destroyed Gary Payton's championship dreams.

Now, the stars have changed, and this scene has come again.

He was inexplicably a little sad: I shouldn't have been eliminated earlier this time, right?

He's not like other Heat players, he's a pessimist.

If the Heat's ambitious young lads had experienced so many failures like him, they might have been as pessimistic as him.

He's here to hug his thighs.

However, he felt as if he was not holding the thickest thighs.

Although this kind of thing is unfair to Miami in my mind now, it is like a woman who is sleeping with 'Miami', but the person in her head is Suhi: this is not uncommon in the United States, Suhi is the dream lover of all-female sex, and many women will close their eyes and assume that Susie the sheep is diving.

Gary Payton has a good relationship with Suhey, and Suhey's defense is what he taught.

He was thinking that if he was eliminated by Suhi again this season, I would have to hug his thigh next season.

The other thighs don't work.

Backbite!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

"Gary, come on!"

Pat Riley reached out and high-fived Gary Payton hard. He encouraged Payton to pinch Suhi strongly, and he couldn't let Suhi go like a fish in water and score easily.

Gary Payton was in good spirits, and now he has to give it his all no matter what.

The game continues.

Heat fielded: Payton, Wade, Posey, Haslem, Mourning.

They still let O'Neill rest for a while.

The lineup on the Knicks' side is: Suhi, Crawford, Ariza, David Lee, Zach Randolph.

The Knicks guessed that the Heat wouldn't be able to switch to O'Neal so quickly, so they planned to play a wave of quick offense.

When the whistle blew, Suhi rushed to the front with the ball.

Arriving in the frontcourt, when Gary Payton came up defensively, Suhee went straight to meet him, and he cut in from the top of the arc.

Sushi knows Payton's defense well, like looking in the mirror.

Therefore, a sharp acceleration completely threw Payton behind him, and Payton was powerless to stop it.

His entanglement defense has lost its usefulness under the new rules, not to mention that he is facing Suhey.

Suhi slammed into the penalty area, and Iron Hammer Moning quickly moved sideways, and he stood up for an offensive foul.

But Suhi jumped to her feet, pulled the lever perfectly in the air, and slid sideways past Mourning to put the basketball into the basket with ease.

As for Haslem, who was chasing behind him, he couldn't even touch Suxi's palm, what kind of thing, he also wanted to play and chase Suxi from behind?

Suhi started with a strong aggression, and then he followed Wade's pace.

Wade is extremely aggressive and has a lot of scoring tools.

He attacked from the flank, taking advantage of Haslem's cover and quickly slotting into the box to create a defensive foul on David Lee.

It was the first time David Lee played such a high-intensity playoff game, and he was still very nervous.

Suxi patted him on the back of the head and told him, "It's a good fight, you have to dare to fight." ”

This is a strong encouragement for David Lee.

Suhi didn't just encourage him, back in the half, he played a pick-and-roll with David Lee, and then passed the ball to him, assisting him to hit a jumper from the free-throw line.

It's an effective way to boost confidence and allow David Lee to adapt quickly to the playoffs.

Then, the Heat still led Wade's charge.

The Knicks, on the other hand, played a quick attack.

Suhi doesn't do it all, he gets his teammates involved.

Neither team had a high shooting percentage.

Isaiah Thomas shouted from the sidelines: Jack! Kill them! Kill them!

He inspired Suhi to leave his teammates behind and go it alone, just like Wade did.

After all, Suhi's performance in the third quarter was very eye-catching.

However, Suhi did not do so, because he thought that it was still under his control.

In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Miami replaced O'Neal, and they made their strongest form.

The Knicks didn't quickly follow up with the lineup change, and it was still the same.

When Shaq O'Neal arrived at the court, the Heat's basketball was handed to him.

He was on top of Randolph.

Miami thinks O'Neill is okay with Randolph, who is not known for his defense, and although he is fat, he is not tall and has a short neck.

O'Neill eats him, it should be neat.

But at the moment when O'Neill resisted Randolph, the sound made by Randolph made O'Neill's scalp tingle.

"Hey, Shaq, I like the way you feel fleshy. I love playing with behemoths like you. Now that we're back singles, maybe one day we'll be in the bathhouse and show our swords head-on! Shake it up! Brothers! ”

Randolph was hearty.

O'Neill, however, has demons.

He pushed Randolph inside with his back and a half, and he could turn around and go to the basket smoothly.

However, at the thought of throwing it head-on, he inexplicably slowed down by half a beat, he only turned halfway and hooked his hand sideways...... Bang!

Basketball hits iron.

Suhi smashes into the box and grabs the rebound.

Then Suhi quickly ran to the front.

He quickly slotted into the box, and the Miami defense had to shrink, at which point, he passed the basketball to the bottom corner, and he himself stuck Wade in the box, and Crawford took a shot...... Swish!

He finally hit his first three-pointer of the game.

He was thrilled that he had finally found his smooth and silky feel.

He held out three fingers to Suhey and gestured in an OK position.

The meaning of this action is simple: I have found the feel.

It's a scary thing for a convulsive to find a feel.

So, Suhi resisted the urge to make a substitution, even though he knew that Zachrandolph might not be able to guard against O'Neill.

However, the next round.

Randolph was still on top of O'Neill, and he was still on top with his crotch, and while he was on top of O'Neill, he said, "Brother, do you feel it?" ”

I feel it!

O'Neill felt dirty.

But in fact, Zach Randolph is very simple. He just wants to set an example for O'Neill: We fat people can't be discriminated against, we have to justify the fat people.

What a chicken!

O'Neill didn't have this kind of confidence, he didn't arch in, turned around quickly, and hooked his hand again!

Bang!

A little shorter, Randolph got the rebound and passed to Susie, Suhi accelerated the fast break, he went straight to the frontcourt, and David Lee blocked and dismantled, but at the moment of cover, the basketball was passed to the side, Crawford slapped the horse and arrived, caught the ball and shot...... Swish!

The second three points.

The audience boiled.

Crawford raised his hands and gestured two OKs.

Madison Garden Arena roared like a tsunami.

At this time, Sushi found out that Zach Randolph had a hand in defending O'Neill.

Therefore, he simply resisted the urge to change people.

At this time, O'Neal is also adjusting his mentality, he is an old man, although his mentality is not as stable as Duncan's old dog.

However, he took two deep breaths and quickly gave himself some hints.

He received the ball in the low post again, he squeezed back hard, Zach Randolph did take half a step back, he also quickly turned over, but the moment he turned past, Randolph actually took a step forward with a spirit of fearlessness, and also went up... The two met head-on... Randolph is equivalent to a shot for O'Neill.

O'Neal's scalp was numb, and he jumped up to put the basketball in the basket and ran quickly to the frontcourt.

If he was a woman, he would have covered his face and run away.

But even though he is a man now, he also feels very uncomfortable and feels dirty.

The most important thing is that Randolph is so frank that he even catches up and asks: Is it big, is it big?

This conversation always reminds O'Neill of bad memories.

He also used to ask his girlfriend this when he was younger, until one day he asked an honest woman, and he never asked again. Because the honest woman said disgustedly: Do you think it is bigger than the door sucker?

Since then, O'Neill has never looked for a woman more than 1.63 meters tall.

He just likes to be shorter.

As for why?

Only he himself knows.

Zachrandorf didn't feel that way at all, he was a man with thick nerves.

At halftime, he and Sushi blocked high posts, and when Crawford was held up by Wade, he passed the ball to Randolph, who threw the ball in from the free-throw line.

O'Neill couldn't defend against it at all.

It's hard for this kind of super-giant center to get out of the box, especially now that O'Neill is getting older and heavier, and his hunting range has been further reduced.

It's like Yao Ming, he's a big threat when he stands in the paint zone. However, a projection power forward like Carlos Boozer can always punish him in the wrong place.

The game continues.

Wade slammed into the box and was fouled by David Lee.

Walked to the free throw line again and hit two free throws.

Suhi and Crawford crossed screens, and Crawford, who scored two three-pointers in a row, took the defense away, and Sushi seized the fleeting opportunity and made a three-point shot...... Swish!

Hit.

The Knicks' lineup is getting smoother and smoother the more they play.

Originally, it was just a rotation lineup, but I didn't expect it to become the main force.

And it also suppressed Miami.

Yibian fought again, and Wade missed a pull-up jumper.

Randolph got the rebound.

Pat Riley on the sidelines was a little excited, he punched his fist at O'Neal and said, "Shaq, take out your box threat!" Rule them! ”

He was dissatisfied with why O'Neal went out to block this round, and in his opinion, O'Neal should have asked for a back-to-back single in the penalty area. At this time, it is the time to show dominance, how to run outside?

O'Neill now has a picture lingering in his mind, he has demons.

He wanted to take a break.

But the Knicks struck while the iron was hot, Crawford got another chance to shoot, first Sushiy went around Randolph's high cover into the free throw line, and then Crawford ran out of space through the cover, Suhi passed the ball quickly, and hey!

Three-point hit.

Crawford's third three-pointer.

The Knicks' lead extended to double digits.

Pat Riley asked for a timeout.

He'll have to adjust it.

If the team is allowed to play like this, I don't know what will happen.

He didn't want to lose the first game win like this, this was like boiling frogs in warm water, and the Knicks didn't have any killer tricks to kill them, which didn't do them any good for their tactical layout.

It's worth losing to lose.

At this point, Randolph returned to the bench, and Eddie Curry ran over to him and asked, "Zach, how did you defend O'Neal so well?" The big shark turns into a baby dolphin in front of you. ”

Jerome James also pricked up his ears, he especially wanted to know the answer, because he was hit by O'Neal and his whole body hurt.

Zachrandolph blinked, and he said, "I don't think it's hard to defend, just defend normally." He's probably not feeling good tonight. ”

This explanation obviously doesn't make sense, because O'Neal's style of play doesn't need to be touched.

Suhi frowned, he seemed to have guessed something, but he decided not to say it.

If it's self-defeating, it's not good to desensitize O'Neal.

Go ahead and let Randolph do the same to him.

At the same time, Pat Riley was saying to O'Neill, "Shaq, you have to get excited." Now we're in the playoffs, we're going to eat Randolph, and he's not going to have to worry about that. ”

Shaq O'Neill nodded.

But a bit mechanical.

"Are you sick, Shaq. You're not in the right state. Wade, who was next to him, also asked in a whisper.

"Nope."

O'Neill shook his head, his own demons, he had to overcome by himself.

He would not say anything about it.

After all, men are unspeakable.

The whistle blows and the game continues.

The Heat followed through on Pat Riley's tactical thinking and handed the basketball to O'Neal.

O'Neal got the basketball, he tried to clear those bad thoughts, he hit it hard backwards, he hit the aisle twice, and then he turned around and was about to dunk... Suhi jumped up from behind... Syllable!

Suhi directly threw O'Neal's basketball away, like an eagle hunting.

O'Neill didn't expect it.

Suhey was already running to the front court with his basketball.

Wade chased hard, but Suhee didn't make it to the three-point line, he made a quick stop outside the three-point line, and then made a jumper...... Adhering to the mentality that even if you lose the cast, even if you complete this block, you will earn if you throw it.

Swish!

Three-point hit.

Basketball holes through the net.

The score difference widened further.

Pat Riley sighed helplessly on the sidelines, he was still arguing with the referee that Suhi had fouled the ball. Now, with a three-point shot, he suddenly lost interest.

"The Heat are hanging. There's a good chance they've lost this game, and it's a no-brainer. ”

"You can't tell where Miami isn't strong, where it's not playing well."

"You can't say where the Knicks are strong and where they play well."

"But that's the difference here."
