Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

The Heat's first counterattack in the second half was successfully snuffed out by the Knicks.

To be precise, it should have been snuffed out by Bai Feng.

This defense and attack has undoubtedly highlighted the value of Bai Feng. Although he only scored 4 points in the first half, it did not prevent the Knicks coach D'Antoni from applauding him at this time.

At this point, D'Antoni stood up, and while applauding Bai Feng, he also said to his assistant: "Look, our Knicks' patron saint, Bai Feng's defensive awareness is really awesome!"

D'Antoni certainly knows the Heat's most deadly weapon, which is the fast break that often occurs in the third quarter - a burst!

This kind of rapid counterattack led by Wade or James usually hits the opponent with a completely unstable foothold. As long as the opponent fails to attack, they can even force a counterattack.

At this time, a defender who has a 100% awareness of retreating and a very reasonable defensive position can naturally play a certain restraint role.

Obviously, Bai Feng has such a characteristic, and this characteristic has been highlighted since the regular season.

It's just that most people didn't know the goods at that time and didn't see the value of Bai Feng.

Some even thought he was too cautious, and the offense was reluctant to leave the area beyond the top three-point line.

Now, when they met the Heat, fans suddenly realized that this rookie, who was originally defined as "prudent", turned out to be so stable.

On the other hand, when the assistant coach of the Heat team watched Bai Feng perform like this, he emphasized again with head coach Spo: "According to our big data analysis, Bai Feng is a player who is particularly good at hitting the tailwind. When the Knicks are able to keep the lead, they have a very high win rate, on the contrary, when they are headwinds, the win rate has a serious Fi..."

The assistant's words were only half said, but everyone knew what he was going to say in the second half.

Of course, he is questioning, or discussing with coach Spoelstra, is the Heat's strategy of not firing at full force in the first half, is it debatable?

In fact, this issue was discussed in the preparations of the Heat coaching staff before G1.

Obviously, they have done a lot of research on the Knicks, and of course they know that the Knicks are a team that is good at hitting the tailwind, and like to give two star players to go crazy and attack as soon as they come up, so as to establish the lead. advantage, and thus into their preferred downwind rhythm.

As for the Heat, their conventional strategy is completely opposite to that of the Knicks. The Heat will not let James and Wade go to storm, but choose to play the team and play the position.

In the second half, when the opponent's physical fitness declined and the number of fouls accumulated almost, Janeway began to attack.

In other words, the Heat like to come from behind in the third quarter of a wave of play.

In this way, as long as the Knicks have a smooth start, it is easy to enter the tailwind mode they are good at.

Then it means that the Heat are restrained in strategy.

This kind of statement seems to be very reasonable, but at that time, Spo shook his head and smiled: "We are the defenders, they are the challengers, we have the advantage of strength and home field, there is no need to adjust for a challenger, To adapt, instead, it is they who need to adapt and adapt!”

Spo naturally has his own ideas, and it doesn't seem to be unreasonable.

That's right, as a strong person, there is really no need to adjust for the weak.

However, Bai Feng perfectly displayed his "steadiness" in the second half when the Heat were about to take off, and the Heat assistant mentioned it again.

Spo still smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's just the beginning!"

On the field, the Heat attacked. After Bibby brought the ball to the frontcourt, he no longer directly gave the ball to James.

At this time, the Heat's offensive system also began to operate. Chris Bosh and Joel Anthony were conscientiously covering James and Wade without the ball. After some movement, Bibby found the right time and passed the ball. For Wade, who was running out of position.

Although JR Smith struggled to catch up, James gave Wade another pick-and-roll.

Seeing that Wade was about to completely get rid of the defense and break into the basket to score, Anthony quickly made up the defense.

And at this moment, James went straight down, and Wade on the other side also understood and threw the ball directly to the basket. James appeared in the position where he should appear and made a dunk in the air!

In an instant, the scene was boiling!

"Come on, come on, here comes the Janeway connection we've been waiting for!"

"The cooperation of these two brothers is also invincible when looking at the alliance!"

"Hahaha, the rhythm that belongs to us is still here!"

The Heat's half-court offense ended with a subtle team move that ended with Wade and James completing an alley-oop.

The whole process was smooth and smooth, and compared with some traditional tactical teams, it was not too much.

This is where Spoelstra's coach's confidence comes from!

Indeed, a super-strong team that can play tactics and has the Big Three will not be afraid of any opponents.

The Knicks attacked, Bai Feng dribbled the ball past the frontcourt, and Anthony still held his position and demanded the ball.

Because Anthony felt hot in the first half, he felt that he could play like this for the whole game. Although the attack at the beginning of the second half was not completed, it did not affect Anthony's determination to continue scoring.

After all, James just scored a beautiful alley, he must get the field back immediately!

Anthony singles against James again, this time James sticks very tightly, and the defense pushes forward for Anthony.

Known as the "offensive kaleidoscope", Anthony turned around to fit the ball and pulled away directly to make a layup.

It was Bosh, who was rushed by the defense, and interfered with the limit block, causing Anthony's layup to miss.

After Joel Anthony protected the rebound, he looked up at Wade who was going down quickly, and he immediately hit the ball to find Wade.

This style of play has been engraved in the bones of every player on the Heat team. After a season of running in, they have developed the habit of finding quick players as long as they have the ball.

Therefore, the incomparably sharp and fast break of the Heat made the entire league feel terrified.

The ball found Wade, however, the fans saw "Yu Kaede of the Knicks stood in the core defensive area of ​​the penalty area again.

Obviously, Bai Feng retreated in advance again, just like the Heat's fast break last time.

"Gan, it's that kid again, why did he retreat so quickly!"

"This is the rhythm of giving up the attack and retreating with all strength? It's too ruthless."

"Yeah, it feels like our fast break has been targeted!"

At this time, Wade didn't seem to flinch at all. He didn't slow down and killed Bai Feng.

The last time Bai Feng quickly retreated and defended Wade's fast break and formed a steal is still vivid in my mind.

Thinking of this, the fans of the Heat can not help but feel a little guilty.

"I'm going, Wade still wants to go?!"

"Could it be that Wade wants to prove himself again!"

"Come on, Wade, you sure can!"

This time, Wade did not choose a frontal attack, but suddenly adjusted his attack to the side.

Obviously, Wade wants to mobilize Bai Feng's defensive position to form an attack, so that Bai Feng can't grab his position in advance.

However, Bai Feng was still able to make the most reasonable defensive choices, and he took a small step back.

It was precisely because of this barely noticeable step that Bai Feng's center of gravity shifted back.

When Wade used the European step to turn to the bottom line, Bai Feng's center of gravity suddenly exerted force, and he was about to give Wade a big cap.

However, at this moment, Bai Feng's consciousness suddenly tightened.

"what!"

......[012211212054302000]

Seeing that Wade's Eurostep was actually seen through, Bai Feng jumped high and was about to give Wade a big hat, and the hearts of the audience hung up again.

But at this moment, Wade did not choose a layup, but threw the ball behind him.

There, LeBron James has come in stride, and after receiving a pass from Wade, he directly blew the basket with both hands, and once again completed Janeway's connection.

At this time, Bai Feng, who had blocked Wade's layup, and Anthony, who was chasing behind James, could only sigh.

There was a loud cheer again!

And Bai Feng also truly felt the pressure he imagined!

Yes, this pressure is predictable, from James and Wade's Janeway connection.

This doesn't look like "unknown", Bai Feng should be able to predict.

But the fact is, he knows that the Heat will definitely play the Janeway connection, but when will the Janeway connection appear? In what way? It is unknown.

Because of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade's superb physicality and first-class speed and impact, coupled with their own good dribbling and passing skills, which makes the two of them have enough space in the situation. , Able to play a variety of, unrestrained double cooperation out.

Undoubtedly, when the counterattack fast break is the time when the space is the largest, in such an environment, the two can play all kinds of breathtaking cooperation to their heart's content.

The title of "Janeway Connection" naturally comes from this.

For Bai Feng, although he is fast enough to retreat, and in one-on-one defense, he is also confident that he can limit Wade's attack.

However, if Wade comes with James, there is nothing he can do.

In this way, it also highlights the inadequacy of Anthony compared to James from the side.

Carmelo Anthony is actually not afraid of LeBron James in the positional attack. Whether it is technical or physical confrontation, Anthony does not lose to James, and is even stronger than LeBron James in these two aspects.

So in the battle of positions, whether it is offense or defense, one-on-one, Anthony has never missed James.

...for flowers 00

However, once running, then Anthony's disadvantage is highlighted.

His speed and impact are completely behind James.

Therefore, in the Heat's counterattack and fast break just now, although Anthony realized that he had to retreat quickly to prevent James from having a chance to follow up, his speed could not keep up at all, which eventually caused Bai Feng to face a challenge. Anti-two situation.

In this round alone, the Heat's James Wayne's fast break has easily broken Bai Feng's steady and fast defense, and the Heat has gained momentum. The cheers of the fans on the scene are even more frenzied. The team was able to take advantage of this wave of power, as usual, to play a wave in the third quarter to take away the game.

However, what they expected did not happen.

When the Knicks attacked, Bai Feng dribbled the ball over the frontcourt and stabilized the rhythm. After relying on Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, he took advantage of the short gap after Bosh's delay to shoot a three-pointer directly.

Swish!

hit.

Mike Bibby is obviously not as good as he was then,

Although he is experienced, his legs and feet are no longer so flexible. It is difficult to return to the defensive position in the first place after this kind of switch defense after pick-and-roll.

Bai Feng seized this point and made a decisive three-pointer.

Goal, back defense!

Under such a rhythm, it is difficult for the Heat to set off a wave of counterattacks again, and they can only fall into position.

At this time, Bai Feng temporarily commanded the Knicks' defense. No matter how well the Heat ran without the ball, the Knicks' defense was only based on one principle, that is, death.

Air defense cut, let you cast!

Wade got a 3-pointer half-open opportunity, he could only shoot, but hit hard.

The Knicks attacked, and Bai Feng played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire again at the top of the three-point arc.

He gave the ball directly to Stoudemire, who was Xiashun.

Although Stoudemire was defended by Joel Anthony after he got the ball, and after passing the ball to Turiaf, the latter's layup was blocked by Bosh, but due to Bai Feng's timely retreat, and small

Struggle gave interference in the frontcourt and prevented Bosh from passing the ball in the first time. The Heat's counterattack did not start again, and they fell into position again.

This time James got the opportunity to shoot from the mid-range, but still failed to hit.

In this way, the Knicks' defensive strategy has paid off!

Obviously, the Knicks have done quite a lot in preparation for this game.

He has even predicted that it is impossible for him to prevent James and Wade from going down the line, so if the opponent can't play the rhythm, there is only one way, that is to not let

Opponents get up.

Therefore, the interference of the inside players to the opponent's passers and JR Smith's choice of aggressive gambling steals on the passing route were all given to his teammates by Feng before the game.

their recommendations.

And in the backcourt, he is naturally guarded!

Bai Feng completely thought about it before the game started. When he attacked, he would stand in the top three-point area of ​​the arc, and he would not go anywhere!

And when the Heat got into positional offense, the Knicks' defensive strategy was to cut from the air and give shots.

Obviously, among these players on the Heat team, basically none of them are shooters who are good at shooting.

The young Bibby may have a good shot, but now his state has declined seriously, and his self-hosting offensive ability has seriously deteriorated, so don't worry.

And James and Wade, although the impact is full, but if they don't give them the space to impact, let them shoot outside, once they feel bad and can't shoot, they will let this combination

Very uncomfortable.

Clearly, the Knicks hit their defensive goals in the second quarter.

And the Heat, after just two Jenway connections, the rhythm they thought they were going to get up, was instantly dragged into their most uncomfortable positional attack.

For a time, even the fans at the scene were confused.

"What's the matter, how good was the fast break just now, why did it stop after two hits?"

"The Heat can't play positional warfare. We don't have pitchers in this lineup. Once the opponent's defense is not allowed to shoot, it will be difficult to play!"

"The Heat have to figure out a way to stop playing like this."

At this time, the Heat coach Spoelstra, who was on the sidelines, looked grim. He did not expect the Knicks to put so much defensive pressure on them in the second half.

Whether in the impression or in the big data of pre-game preparations, the Knicks have never been a defensive team.

They are attacking, so using the Heat's super-speed counterattack to speed up the counterattack can obviously crush the opponent perfectly.

But now, the situation is completely beyond their expectations.

The Knicks actually played defense in the third quarter!

And the whole defense seemed disorganized, but the division of labor clearly blocked the Heat's quick counterattack.

Clearly, this Knicks team came prepared, and zeroed in on a lot of things!
