Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

The American Airlines Arena is crowded, and the enthusiasm of the fans is like the temperature of Miami, and the whole line is booming!

They put slogans like "We are the champions" all over the place early on, which is the confidence and enthusiasm of Miami fans, of course, given the absolute dominance of this team!

In 2006, fans may not have thought that the Heat could finally win the championship. However, after struggling all the way to the finals in the East, Wade "god down to earth", allowing fans to see the terrifying power of the Flash for the first time!

Although for several consecutive years, due to the personnel changes of the Heat and Wade's injury, the Heat failed to reach the finals again.

But this season, with superstars like LeBron James and Chris Bosh and Wade forming the Big Three, fans here have found that their team is "invincible!"

Although the outside world does not think that the Heat are invincible, at least there are still teams like the Celtics, Lakers and Spurs in the league who have the strength to challenge them.

But Heat fans see things differently than they do.

James' strength can be equal to Wade in any way, even if Bosh has 0.8 Wade, then this Heat team has 2.8 Wade, close to 3.

1 Wade won the championship that year, let alone?

Now it's even better. The three most powerful teams in the league to challenge the Heat are gone, so what's there to be afraid of.

Of course, just five words: Heat championship!

While waiting for the game to begin, fans casually discussed tonight's rival, the Knicks.

"The Knicks? Don't worry, they may have some strength, but they are not enough, so the core players can play against one pair, and the others are not worth mentioning at all.

"Don't worry about this opponent, you are inexperienced in playing the Bulls, and the Eagles who have no stars, they have no advantage in playing against us!"

"In fact, it's better for them to be stronger, at least they can make the game a little more exciting, otherwise it would be boring."

The game is about to start, and Bai Feng, who is standing at the entrance of the player tunnel, is seriously thinking about a question.

Against this Heat team, he will definitely put a lot of pressure on the team and himself!

Bai Feng can probably estimate the specific pressure of 12, but he has not thought about how to solve the problem, he will know after playing.

In fact, even after two rounds of playoffs, Bai Feng has not felt much pressure so far.

In the first round against the Bulls, although Bai Feng was playing against Ross, Ross's style was too obvious, and he used absolute speed and physical fitness to play.

Or change direction without slowing down and directly overbearing Bai Feng face to face, there is absolutely no way to stop Bai Feng facing this kind of Bai Feng, after all, whoever in the NBA will face such Ross head-on one-on-one, there is no way to stop him.

Either go for a pick-and-roll, and Bai Feng naturally has no solution.

A player who can really create pressure on Bai Feng on the offensive end must be one-on-one with the ball, and be able to score consecutively in front of him or assist his teammates to score when he is in position.

Obviously, Derrick Rose does not have this ability.

On the defensive end, although the Bulls sent perimeter defender Keith Bogans to focus on Gu Baifeng, in fact this defender does not have the defensive trap thinking of those top point guards, he just has good physical fitness and concentration Well, Bai Feng can break his one-on-one defense with just a few sharp dribbles or pick-and-roll calls.

The Bulls' team defense seems to be very powerful, but it is still not smart enough. After being restrained by Stoudemire and Anthony, other areas become very weak.

So facing such a team, Bai Feng did not feel much pressure.

In the second round against the Eagles, not to mention, players like Jeff Teague are too mediocre. Although they are also very good, they basically cannot give pressure at all.

But now, against the Heat, that's a whole different story!

In the regular season match between the Knicks and the Heat, they only won one game, the one after Anthony arrived.

Although the result was a big victory for the Knicks, the Heat put a lot of pressure on the Heat in the first half, but they just collapsed in the second half.

Most of the pressure the Heat can give comes from James and Wade, who have top-level physical fitness and experience.

The reason why the Bulls and Eagles did not put pressure on Bai Feng was because of their style of play, players, everything was "known".

Under such circumstances, Bai Feng could easily judge how to fight is "reasonable".

In fact, all that can put pressure on Bai Feng comes from the "unknown", and only those experienced players can give this "unknown" feeling.

For example, the Spurs have experienced coaches and a mature team. When Bai Feng played against them, there was an "unknown" situation, and it was often impossible to judge what was wrong.

Another example is the Mavericks. They have an inconspicuous, but experienced, almost old goblin Jason Kidd. Bai Feng can also feel a lot of "unknown" when he confronts him.

As for the "unknown" that the Heat can give, the type may be different, Bai Feng thinks so.

With the end of the home team's explosive appearance ceremony, the players from both sides made their debut.

[The Knicks start]

Point Guard: Bai Feng

Shooting guard: JR Smith

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire

Center: Ronny Turiaf

[Heat team starts]

Point Guard: Mike Bibby

Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade

Small Forward: LeBron James

Power Forward: Chris Bosh

Center: Joel Anthony

Different from the regular season, in the playoffs, the Heat made personnel adjustments in the other two positions except the Big Three.

Mario Chalmers, who spent most of the regular season as the starting point guard, was replaced by Mike Bibby in the playoffs. Bibby was traded by the Heat at the trade deadline. The purpose is to To equip the Heat with a seasoned veteran in the playoffs!

Obviously, 10 seasoned veterans are extremely important to those teams aspiring to win the championship!

Although Bibby's abilities in all aspects have been seriously degraded compared to his peak period, in some respects, he is not even as easy to use as Chalmers.

But in the Heat, the point guard is a very special existence, because Wade has Wade in the backcourt attack and James in the organization attack, so the point guard does not have many tasks in the team. More often, it is to play various roles. The role of filling, excessive, and pulling.

Obviously, to do this, experience is far more important than youth.

Another personnel adjustment was made after playing the Celtics, and the Heat replaced the original starting center Oyuki with a mini-center Joel Anthony.

Maybe it's because Big Z's performance wasn't good enough, or maybe it was an injury in Game 4 against the Celtics, or maybe the Heat thought Big Z was too bulky to deal with the Knicks.

Of course, for the Heat, the adjustment of these two roles will not have much impact on them as a whole.

After all, the team of the Big Three has three All-Stars. As long as this remains unchanged, the Heat's playstyle will not change much.

The two players had a friendly exchange in the middle circle, especially Anthony James and Wade, who talked, laughed, and beamed with joy. It didn't look like they were going to play the division finals.

However, as the referee signaled the players on both sides to stand up, the smiles disappeared from their faces immediately, and one by one became extremely serious!

As the referee blew the whistle, Beyon started.

Chris Bosh jumped to the ball for the first wave of offense for the home-fighting Heat, and there was an immediate cheer.

The Heat attacked. After Mike Bibby dribbled the ball over the frontcourt, he immediately handed it over to LeBron James, who pulled the ball to the three-point line.

This is an offensive formula of the Heat. Shortly after the start of the regular season this season, coach Spoelstra resolved the conflict between James and Wade by letting James try to play a "point forward". The Heat, who were still struggling at the beginning of the season, got on the right track and played all the way to the present.

Mike Bibby is standing at the top of the arc of the three-point line. He does not hold the ball, but only plays a role in opening up the space and passing the ball.

Of course, the Knicks studied the Heat before the game, and Bai Feng also had a clear understanding of his positioning in this round of the series.

He may not need to pay too much on the defensive end, after all, he is against Mike Bibby, who has no role on the offensive end.

In the face of the defense pulled out by his old rival Anthony, James didn't move much, he was waiting for the other players of the Heat to move.

Chris Bosh and Wade made an off-ball screen in the interior. Wade successfully got rid of the ball and then received a pass from James, but JR Smith quickly arrived and did not give Wade a chance to shoot open.

When Wade saw this, he didn't act too hard, and gave the ball to James again.

At this point James signaled Bosh out of the pick and roll, the Heat re-organized an offense.

It can be seen that this Heat team is very patient.

After Bosh and James formed a pick-and-roll, Stoudemire did not delay James, and even let Anthony and Anthony completely let go of James and chose a shield.

Because they all know, James' three-pointer is not allowed.

LeBron James can only choose to break through with the ball, but because he does not have absolute speed, there is no way to directly throw off Anthony's defense.

After holding the ball to the three-point line, Anthony's defense came up and gave him a confrontation.

In the past, James could use his strong body to forcibly open up a way to go straight to the basket, but in the face of Anthony, this method obviously won't work.

In an instant, the Heat's offense stopped. James didn't see any good opportunities left and right, so he took a step back and forced a mid-range shot.

bang!

Hardened.

Stoudemire protected the rebound and the Knicks had the ball.

Seeing such an attack, the Heat fans at the scene were a little confused.

The Heat's opening offensive round was mediocre? It was even blocked by the opponent?

However, as the game has just started, the fans did not care too much.

The Knicks attacked, Bai Feng dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Mike Bibby gave him a little space to hold the ball.

From the distance given by Bibby, Bai Feng can conclude that this is an experienced guy!

In the previous game, whether it was Ross, Bogans or Jeff Teague, when they were defending Bai Feng, they did not pay attention to the details of the control of the defensive distance. They were either too close or too far away. Bai Feng could always Find opportunities to break through, or space to shoot.

With the distance that Bibby maintains, if he breaks through, he has enough reaction time to block it. If Bai Feng shoots, he can immediately come up to interfere.

Obviously, this kind of thing is

It can't be done quickly, and it can't be taught. To achieve this level, it is impossible to do it without playing for ten or eight years in the NBA.

Of course, there is another situation, which is to have a "plug-in" like Bai Feng.

As soon as Bai Feng arrived in the frontcourt, Anthony was already in a position to ask for the ball, and Bai Feng also hoisted the ball to Anthony immediately.

They had already negotiated this opening tactic.

At the beginning of the game, Anthony will play James one-on-one, and he has great confidence and certainty.

Everyone pulled away, Anthony was going to single against James in a 45-degree mid-range one-on-one!

All eyes are also focused on this.

I saw that Anthony, who was holding the ball with his back, suddenly turned to face frame, and James suddenly posted to put pressure on Anthony's defense, but unexpectedly, Anthony turned around and moved one after the other.

With the ball, James was completely given away at once, followed by a big step to the basket 057, and an easy layup scored 2 points.

2:0

Anthony easily succeeded in singles, after scoring, he even showed a happy smile, and proudly retreated.

The Heat attacked, or Bibby brought the ball to the frontcourt, and James immediately came out to respond.

This time James chose to hoist the ball to Bosh, who was stuck inside and caught the ball. Bosh took the ball and singled against Stoudemire.

The Knicks got the rebound.

The Knicks attacked in the same way. Anthony took the ball in the 45-degree mid-range area, his teammates pulled away, and he singled James again.

This time, James chose not to jump in.

After Anthony made a three-threat test, seeing that James didn't mean to pounce, he directly pulled out a mid-range shot.

hit!

4:0

Such a start made the Heat fans at the scene a little confused.

As the home team, their two offenses were simple, even reluctant.

On the other hand, the Knicks, who were fighting on the road, turned out to be the main opponent. As soon as Anthony came up, he singled out James twice in a row.

They never thought of this situation.

"What's the matter, why do you feel that the Heat have no passion at all, and they were suppressed when they came up? Their game style was not like this before.

"That's right, the previous crushing momentum, the Heat quickly enter the state!"

"Actually, the Heat are playing the same way as before, haven't you noticed? In the beginning, James was looking for opportunities for Wade and Bosh on the outside.

It's this kind of play.... those opponents used to be unable to match the defensive end, but today they are, LeBron is playing Carmelo Anthony, it is definitely impossible to directly crush it with the body,

It can only be said that the star players of the two teams are completely matched!"

Sure enough, there are still many fans who understand the ball.

The reason why the Heat fell into a passive position in the opening game, and the Knicks who came to challenge them, was mainly due to their lack of preparation.

They are still using the previous opening style of play, allowing Bosh to play singles in the interior, but the defender is Stoudemire, and he has no advantage.

In the past, with his own strength and size advantage, James could go all the way to the basket with a rude style of play. Obviously, it was not easy to use against Anthony, who had the same size and strength.

On the other hand, the Knicks, as a side that is not favored, seem to have a stronger fighting spirit.

Especially Carmelo Anthony, every time he hits James, he gets excited. Probably he just wants to prove to the world that he can't lose to James at all. The number one pick in 2003 is not

Only James has an option.

Of course, to say that the Heat are underprepared is just speculation by some fans and commentators.

Whether they were underprepared, or just like to use this slow-warm way to start the game to see the situation, no one can say for sure. After all, in most games, the moment when the Heat broke out was not in the first quarter. .
