I can't be a basketball god

Chapter 164 The goal is to score points!

December 12, New York, Madison Square Garden.

The Heat didn't rest, back-to-back away games, and came to challenge the Knicks.

The entire arena was full, and the fans and spectators booed enthusiastically to welcome the appearance of the Heat players.

The relationship between the two teams, because of what happened in the 90s, can be called a sworn enemy.

The Knicks are not doing well this season, but to play against the Heat, they will be very hardworking without mobilization.

In the first quarter of the game, the Knicks showed tough defense at the beginning.

The inside line of the Heat was first taught a lesson. Odom, who almost hit a triple-double in the previous game, was physically confronted by Thomas, bang bang bang...

He kept hitting the iron, missed all 5 shots, and scored 2 points only by free throws.

Then there is the outside line, Wade's breakthrough, rushing in, and being taken care of by Mutombo, so that every time Wade attacks, he will face a flanking defense.

Grant was emptied on the outside, because he did nothing in the inside to compete with Mutombo.

Therefore, after Wade was flanked, he chose to split the ball to Grant who was open.

At the end, the Heat's inside line was beaten back to its original shape. Grant, who killed the Quartet in the last game, shot 5 of 1 in the first quarter and only scored 2 points.

And this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is the Knicks' offense.

Van Horn is very reliable tonight, incarnated as a 'Big Bird', with excellent shooting skills and no missed shots. He made 7 of 6 shots and 1 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 13 points and 1 rebound in a single quarter. Unresolved offensive talent.

Moreover, the shots of other Knicks players were also terribly accurate. Houston made 4 of 3 shots and played a "golden double pine gun" combination with Van Horn.

At the same time, Mutombo on the inside made 2 of 2 shots from the basket and won steadily.

The offensively efficient Knicks beat the Heat in the first quarter and beat the Heat 28 to 14.

……

The Knicks fell behind by 14 points in the first quarter, and the Knicks were not satisfied in the second quarter. Van Horn made 4 of 2 shots, Houston made 2 of 2 shots, and both hit three-pointers. In the team's prescribed lineup, there is also a surprise soldier, Shanton Anderson.

Although this player only shot 2 of 1 shots, he was full of impact and attacked the Heat's basket, but got 10 free throw opportunities and hit 9 of them.

The Knicks' offensive firepower has not diminished, and their efficiency is still very high.

However, the Heat's offense did not improve. Odom finally scored in the sports game, making 4 of 1 shots. The first half was a sleepwalking performance.

Others, there are no outstanding players.

17 to 29! !
After the first half of the game, the suspense of this game is almost gone.

The Knicks beat the Heat in two quarters and have taken a 26-point lead.

With such a point difference, how to fight against the Knicks, the mortal enemy?

You know, the Heat are back-to-back away games, and the Knicks can't wait to beat the Heat, there is no reason to let the water go. ...

Therefore, the second half was just a cutscene. The Heat's offense improved somewhat when the Knicks' defensive strength declined, but the defense failed to prevent the Knicks from scoring.

73 to 102! !
At the end of the game, the Knicks defeated the Heat by 29 points, ending the opponent's 3-game winning streak.

……

Time has entered the new year, and the Heat did not play on New Year's Day.

May 1, Miami, American Airlines Arena.

The Heat's first opponent in 2004 was the Magic led by McGrady.

During the simple appearance and warm-up period, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were played.

For the Heat, point guard Wade, shooting guard Ye Feng, small forward Jones, power forward Odom, and center Jones.

On the Magic side, point guard Tyronn Lue, shooting guard McGrady, small forward Gordon Girisek, power forward Juwan Howard, and center Andrew Deklerk.

……

beep-!
A long whistle sounded, and Odom beat Howard to win the ball first for the Heat.

The first quarter of the game started, with long legs, Wade dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, glanced at Tyronn Lue who was facing him, and the '183' defensively lost.

The strength is not as good as him, the height does not matter, so what if the speed is faster?
Wade saw a sharp weapon for scoring points. Such a player can block his attack there.

Accelerate the dribble to break through, bang——!
Tai Lue staggered after receiving it, his body center of gravity was unstable.

Ye Feng glanced at Maddy beside him, and it turned out that Maddy had a pair of dead fish eyes, and he didn't mean to defend at all.

Also.

Even McGrady himself is now defensive with his eyes, so how can he help wipe his ass?

He has only one goal in his mind now, and that is to score points.

He wants to continue to hit the honor of scoring champion.

No defense appeared, Wade easily killed the basket.

At this time, the Magic continued to expose a problem, that is, poor basket protection.

Whether it is Howard or De Klerk, the protection of the basket is not strong.

Wade jumped up, and with a bang, he dunked with one hand in the air, and scored two points, winning the first blow.

0 to 2! !
"The Magic's defense is a fake. Their goal is not to win, but to hit the No. [-] pick while being the scoring champion.

This season, the Magic hit the postseason goal and gave up long ago.

Last season, Grant Hill was injured and was reimbursed for this event, with no hope of a comeback.

Compared with hitting the playoffs, relying on McGrady alone to lead the team, it is better to win the scoring champion, then hit the No. [-] pick, choose a potential center, and wait for Hill to come back. This is the structure of the Big Three, which can hit the championship .

Moreover, last season, the Magic were also poached away the third scorer Mike Miller, their strength dropped again and again..."

On the court, McGrady faced Ye Feng's defense in the frontcourt, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper...

His operation is very elegant, the shooting point is very high, but the shot is a bit hasty, is he afraid of wasting offensive time?
Ye Feng only saw the wave of McGrady's shot. As for the time, the Magic still have more than 10 seconds left!
Boom-!
McGrady's three-pointer missed heavily.

Odom grabbed the rebound and quickly distributed the ball to Wade for a quick counterattack.

The Magic quickly returned to defense, but did not interrupt the Heat's offensive speed.

Very cooperative with the Heat's fast-paced offense.

Naturally, Wade was not too polite. It was Tyronn Lue who was defending him. He had no desire to pass the ball at all. He took three steps and made two steps, one-stop to the basket, easily picked the basket, and sent the basketball into the basket.

0 to 4! !
"The Magic's defense is so childish that it's playing against the Heat.

Is it because they have a scoring champion? "

"The Magic's offense, Tyronn Lue received the ball, quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately distributed the ball to McGrady to organize the offense.

The Magic play a point-forward tactic, which can allow McGrady to be promoted to the scoring leader.

Every attack will pass McGrady's hand..."
