I can't be a basketball god

Chapter 159 Fight against the Knicks!
May 12, Miami, American Airlines Arena.

The Heat returned home and faced back-to-back home challenges from the Knicks.

With the departure of the madman during the offseason, the Knicks ended the era of the "Golden Two Guns". Now this team, led by Alan Houston, has an average record and only has a record of 11 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. ten position.

Before the game, media reporters were overwhelmingly optimistic that the Heat would easily beat the Knicks.

You know, the Knicks also fought back-to-back. Recently, they have been in a mediocre state. They almost encountered strong teams and lost the game without exception.

During the simple appearance and warm-up period, the starting lineups of the two teams tonight were displayed on the big screen in the American Airlines Arena.

For the Heat, the lineup remains the same, with point guard Wade, shooting guard Ye Feng, small forward Jones, power forward Odom, and center Grant.

For the Knicks, point guard Frank Williams, shooting guard Alan Houston, small forward Keith Horn, power forward Kurt Thomas, and center Dikan Mutombo.

……

beep-!
The referee's whistle sounded, the basketball was sent to the sky, and the game began with a scrum.

Odom VS Mutombo! !
Mutombo, who is 2 meters tall, is immortal. He defeated Odom and won the ball first for the Knicks.

It has to be said that Mutombo's physical talent is really strong. Even if he doesn't know his age, whether he is 40 years old or not, he can still vaguely see the terrible physical talent he used to have.

The game started in the first quarter, and Williams dribbled the ball for halftime. He was a little excited because this was his first start this season and also his career.

Although he was a second-round pick in 02 and his career has not yet started for a long time, he is in a happy mood that is indescribable.

In the frontcourt, facing Wade, a rookie, he didn't take a shot.

The Knicks' point guard line is notoriously weak, and so is he. Therefore, he handed over the basketball to his head star, Alan Houston, to play.

After catching the ball, he made a cross step and changed direction, broke through Ye Feng's defense, just passed the three-point line, immediately lifted the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper...

The whole shooting action, without a trace of sloppy, is as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

Basketball, drawing a very high arc in the air.

Swish-!
With his hands up and down, Alan Houston did not show mercy and hit two points with precision.

2 to 0! !
"Alan Houston's shooting posture can be included in textbooks as a teaching material, it is so beautiful and standard.

This kind of shooting is a kind of enjoyment to watch, especially because he can still maintain precise hits, which earned him the nickname of "King of Mid-range Shots". "

Mike Brin commented with a smile.

Groom Albert nodded, "Alan Houston is still at the tail end of his peak, he has just signed a big contract, so he is naturally very strong offensively.

Next, looking at the Heat's offense, Wade broke through the frontcourt, Williams was completely overwhelmed, and Wade easily killed him inside.

Snapped! !

Oh, my god! !
From Mutombo's blocking, Wade was too careless, thinking that the old Mutombo's blocking ability was lost?
This time, he got a taste of Mutombo's signature block and finger wag..."

On the field.

Dikembe Mutombo's big cap, fanning the basketball out of the sideline, still holds the ball for the Heat.

Ye Feng and Jones played a screen, and the two ran back and got rid of the marking player.

Wade served the ball to Ye Feng from the sideline, lifted the ball and swayed it, and it swayed Alan Houston's defense, bang, dribbled a step, after adjusting the rhythm, he jumped up lightly, and his body bloomed in the air.

With a flick of his right wrist, the basketball flew to the basket.

Swish-!
There is no false shot, Ye Feng's three-pointer hit! !

2 to 3! !
"Ye Feng's three-pointer is quite threatening.

Moreover, you have to keep an eye on such a player. He has a convulsive quality, and if he is in good shape, it will be very troublesome to guard against. "

The Knicks attacked, Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, saw Van Horn run back, got rid of Jones' defense, slapped the ground, and passed the basketball.

Van Horn catches the ball and jumps up to shoot, but Jones' block is completely out of reach.

With a height of 2 meters, he has an obvious advantage in misplaced shots.

Swish-!
Van Horn's catch-and-shoot jump shot was also accurate.

4 to 3! !
"Although Van Horn has been disappointing all the time, his offensive talents have always given the fans great illusions, imagining that one day he will become a real 'Big Bird'.

When he is in good form, he has always given fans hope that his shooting is really good, he is very talented, and his offensive talent alone can be worth a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. "

"Jones' defense is excellent, but it's still a disadvantage to guard against Horn with his height..."

The Heat attacked, Wade received the baseline serve, and immediately dribbled the ball to increase the speed.

The height of the Knicks has an advantage over the Heat, so the Heat must improve their offensive rhythm and give full play to their speed advantage.

In the frontcourt, Wade went straight up and down, speeding up and overcoming Williams.

Williams' strength is really limited.

He was able to serve as the starter entirely because Charlie Ward, who was sitting firmly in the starter, was old.

Thomas had good maneuverability, and rushed over to cover the defense. Wade pulled the ball up, flicked it in the air, and sent the basketball to the basket.

Clang.

Odom made an air cut to the basket, an alley-oop, a two-handed dunk, and his whole body was hung on the basket.

4 to 5! !
"Wade's drive was excellent.

Of course, the Knicks' defense also had problems. After all, Mutombo was old, his speed couldn't come back, and Wade broke through the defense with one less player. The Knicks could only focus on one thing and lose another... "

"Looking at the Knicks attacking now, Thomas pulls out and plays a pick-and-roll with Williams.

Williams took a step, immediately threw the ball to Thomas, caught the ball and made a jump shot..."

Swish-!
6 to 5! !
Thomas' mid-range shot made a steady hit.

As a short insider, Kurt Thomas's mid-range shot is still very reliable.

This season has maintained the excellent state of last season, averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds per game. It can be said that he has played his peak data.

The Heat attacked, Wade dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stepped down the dribble, changed direction in front of his body, and accelerated to break through inside.

Bang-!
It was a direct meat-to-meat collision, and Williams was blocked.

Wade went into the paint, pulled the ball to the basket with a European step, and before Mutombo's replacement, he pulled the ball up and showed a small throw.

The basketball draws an arch in the air.

Swish-!
The basketball, like eyes, got into the net.

6 to 7! !
At the beginning of the first quarter, the offense of both sides was very efficient.

Subsequently, the Knicks' offense, as the team's head star and the team's scorer, Alan Houston singled out Ye Feng with the ball in the frontcourt.

Putting on an offensive three-threat posture, Ye Feng took a step, but did he prevent a breakthrough or a shot?
The opponent is the king of CIC?
How can we prevent it like this?
