Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

For Bai Feng, the situation is better than he thought!

The connection between James and Wade did give him some pressure.

But the defensive strategy he discussed with the coach and his teammates before the game and carefully prepared for the game put more pressure on the Heat!

Of course, there is a bit of gambling in it, that is, betting that the Heat have a bad mid-to-long-range shot today, or betting that they are not prepared for it!

Now, Bai Feng and the Knicks seem to have made the right bet. In the third quarter when the Heat should have played a super counterattack, they contained their opponents well.

And the Heat also failed to make a continuous attack, coach Spoelstra reluctantly called a timeout.

Obviously, the Heat did not follow their established strategy, but were dragged into the opponent's rhythm by the Knicks' highly targeted defensive strategy.

For the Heat, this is quite deadly.

Coach Spoelstra understands that this situation will occur because of the lack of preparation of their coaching staff, but obviously it is not time to find out the reason, it is still early before the end of the game, and the Heat is not far behind by points. They need to do it now. Yes, is to find a solution to the problem.

On the Knicks side, D'Antoni encouraged the players: "Guys, your defense is great, we'll keep playing like this, don't give them any chance..."

D'Antoni never imagined that such an offensive coach would one day praise the team's defense in the Eastern Finals.

And such a giant team with two top ten scorers in the league actually relies on defense to gain an advantage.

This experience made him a little unbelievable.

At the same time, at the end of the timeout, looking at the back of Bai Feng playing, I had to sigh again: "We really found a treasure. With Bai Feng as the core of the team, the future is limitless..."

De'an's "eight seven three" Tony's idea was only just now. Bai Feng mentioned to him before the game about the matters that he should pay attention to when playing against the Heat. Now, Bai Feng is in the game.

A practice, and the effect is very gratifying.

And his "steadiness" became very practical after the team took the lead.

The Heat were very impatient on offense when the established strategy could not be achieved. In this way, Bai Feng was able to lead the Knicks to play steadily.

D'Antoni, who wanted to understand this, suddenly felt how important it was to have such a "steady" point guard in the team. At the same time, he recalled the past, and suddenly remembered the past when the Suns' great situation was turned over.

After thinking about it, I can only sigh, if only Nash at that time could be as stable as Bai Feng.

However, he immediately rejected the idea, if Nash is stable, it is not Nash!

The timeout was over, the game was back, and the Heat passed the timeout, they made a personnel change, replaced Mike Bibby with Mike Miller, and changed tactics on offense

Let Wade go down to the post to single against JR Smith.

This move immediately yielded results. JR Smith's defensive ability and confrontation effect are not as good as Wade's. Although Wade is not allowed to shoot from a distance, he still has a lot of offensive methods in the low post.

And on the strong side of Wade's singles, put three-point shooter Mike Miller. Once the Knicks continue to shrink defenses or double-team Wade, the ball will be hit outside.

Of course, the Heat still have a lot of offensive moves, and it all depends on how the Knicks choose.

After Wade made two single JR hits, the Knicks' defense really shrank. Although they didn't give Mike Miller a chance to shoot a three-pointer, LeBron James scored a lot of empty cuts to attack the basket.

The Heat's offense smoothed out after a timeout, and it looks like their coach, Spoelstra, has something.

However, although the Knicks' defense was ineffective, on the offensive end, under Bai Feng's steady organization, their offense was also prosperous.

Bai Feng's continuous long-range hits prevented the Heat from allowing him to shoot after the pick-and-roll, which gave Stoudemire a lot of opportunities to cut inside.

Bai Feng can often find Stoudemire through accurate passing, and the Heat's defense with Bosh and Joel Anthony at the basket is not so honest, and they can't effectively limit the hawker's fishy attack.

In the playoffs, JR Smith, who is getting better and better, often actively intersperses back and forth from the bottom line, which greatly attracts the Heat's defensive attention. Once they relax, Bai Feng can also assist JR Smith to get to the score.

For a time, the difference between the two teams rose alternately, but the Heat still failed to bring the score closer.

It was still in the second half of the third quarter, when both teams were put into rotations, the Heat had some advantages on the scene, and they recovered the score.

But after three quarters, the Knicks on the road still led by 4 points with 81:77.

If the first quarter or even the first half was over, most of the Heat fans were not panicking, then by the end of the third quarter, they could not sit still.

"What about the Heat's third quarter? Why didn't it come out at all?"

"If it wasn't for the bench lineup to chase points, the main lineup would even lose points. How can this be played?!"

"The Heat is in a really bad state today. The defense is unstoppable and the offense is not smooth. Alas, I hope they can improve in the fourth quarter."

"Is it bad form? Or not prepared enough? Why do I feel that the Heat completely fell into the opponent's rhythm in the third quarter."

Yes, the entire third quarter, in fact, the Heat did not play their rhythm.

Or to be more precise, the rhythm belonging to the Heat is only a short one or two rounds.

More often, they are led by the Knicks' offensive and defensive rhythm, and they can only slow down to fight with their opponents.

Although in the second half of the third quarter, the Heat's positional offense was also very good, but obviously, if they can't play the "one wave" that they often staged in the third quarter in the past, it is difficult to quickly open the point difference. of.

At this point, Heat coach Spoelstra was thinking about a serious problem.

That is the Heat against the Knicks, if they can't get into their own rhythm, it seems really not easy to play!

Playing other teams, even if you don't look at offense and only look at defense, the unparalleled athleticism of James and Wade, combined with the awareness of supplementary defense, can make other teams drink a pot.

Even the Big Three of the Green Army have great advantages in encountering Janeway, whether it is frontal defense or sharp supplementary defense.

However, when they are guarding Anthony and Stoudemire's caliber stars, the advantage is gone.

After all, Stoudemire and Anthony are also superstars in the league. Except for their reputation and honor, they are not as good as James and Wade. In terms of ability, they can really say that they are half-baked.

This is not something that the old Big Three of the Green Army can compare with. In the face of such an opponent, in fact, the Heat is not a strong defensive system, and it is not easy to defend against the Knicks.

In the final analysis, the biggest advantage of the Heat and the Knicks is the rhythm and speed. They must run up and pull away the Knicks' defense line, which is not very mobile, in order to drag them down.

Only, there is a problem, that is, the Knicks have a point guard who only stands outside the arc and shoots or plays the pick-and-roll, and rarely breaks through.

However, as long as the Heat team rhythm together, he will defend to the most reasonable defensive position in the first time!

And his defensive attention and rationality are extremely strong. Even for a player of Wade's level, it is not easy to make a one-on-one fast break.

In the third quarter, it has been proven that Wade's two fast-break attacks failed in the face of Bai Feng.

So, in fact, if Wade wants to score in this situation, he can either choose a shot that will reduce his certainty a lot, or run a double fast break with James, so Bai Feng can't stop them.

But the problem is, Janeway runs fast break at the same time, so the requirements for passers in the backcourt will become higher, whether it is Bosh or Joel Anthony, their passing techniques are average, if the Knicks inside players are this way. If there is such an interference from time to time, if the pass can’t be passed, let’s talk about it. There will definitely be an inaccurate pass, or the need to give another Heat player a transition, which delays the opportunity and can only be forced to play the position. .

In fact, the entire third quarter of the Heat is spent in such a tangled rhythm.

Coach Spoel faintly felt that he would definitely be able to find a solution to this situation, but the incomparably noisy scene at this time made him unable to calm down and think.

Time waits for no one, and the game continues. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Heat's bench lineup failed to continue their previous good state. Even with a better configuration than the Knicks, they failed to continue to chase points and even lost. got some points.

The situation seems to be very unfavorable for the Heat.

Coach Spoelstra had no choice but to change back to the main lineup ahead of time, and D'Antoni on the other side naturally didn't dare to care for the big players, so he played steadily. If you change people in advance, then I will change too!

In this way, the decisive moment of the two teams has been advanced.

It can be seen that the Heat still want to play their own rhythm. As soon as they came up, James and Wade ran a fast break connection. After receiving the pass from Wade, James completed a dunk and scored 2 points.

Great morale boost!

The atmosphere at the scene also exploded again.

However, as in the third quarter, the Heat did not easily bring the rhythm to their own territory because of a successful fast break.

Under Bai Feng's extremely stable offensive and defensive rhythm, the Knicks steadily pressed the Heat's rhythm, but they were not allowed to gain momentum.

Once they found that James or Wade had the idea of ​​forcibly increasing the speed, Anthony and JR directly pulled them down, even if they lost a foul, they would not let the speed start.

...[012211212054302330]

I have to say that this style of play made James very uncomfortable. James, who made a three-pointer in a positional battle, thought he had a feeling, but after that, he made two shots in a row, but it was all iron...

Without long-range shooting feel, there is no way to effectively and quickly chase points in positional warfare, so you can only play fast!

Seeing that there was no way to pull in the points difference, the Heat players were anxious.

Wade's gambling steal was seen through by Bai Feng, and the pass was directly changed to the ground. Wade made a punt and at the same time passed it directly to JR for a large open position. JR was also unambiguous and directly surrounded him.

Seeing that the score difference could not be approached, it was getting bigger and bigger. James was also anxious. After grabbing a rebound in the backcourt, he directly passed a long pass to Wade who was in the running position, but the ball was unexpectedly too hard and passed big.

A mistake is sent directly to give the opponent the ball.

The team made a low-level mistake, which is not a good situation. Coach Spoel immediately called a timeout and adjusted the team's thinking.

After the timeout, the Heat stopped the momentum of consecutive mistakes, but they were still stuck in the unhurried and extremely stable rhythm of the Knicks.

Although James finally broke out at the last moment, he hit two consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point range, and forced a breakthrough to cause damage and walk to the free throw line. After scoring 8 points in a row, the difference was instantly reduced.

However, after the steady Bai Feng attracted the defense on the offensive end, a delicate pass found Turia who was emptied at the basket.

Husband, the upper bound was successful.

This ball directly kills the game.

In the end, the Knicks in the away game unexpectedly defeated the Heat with a score of 107:104, and achieved a good start.

shock.

In this game, on the Knicks side, Carmelo Anthony scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists with his 20 points in the first half.

Highest score in the field. Amare Stoudemire also had 24 points and 13 rebounds all-around data. Bai Feng scored 10 points, 14 assists, and 4 steals.

On the Heat side, Dwyane Wade scored a team-high 28 points, and LeBron James scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in the second half.

The triple-double data, Bosh also scored 21 points and 10 rebounds.

Comparing the two teams' trio with good stats and performance, it's hard to tell who is stronger and who is weaker.

Although Anthony almost blew James up with a single in the first half and scored 10 more points than James, James scored a triple-double and was obviously more versatile.

more team.

Stoudemire's numbers slightly outweighed Bosh, but not by much.

As for Wade and Bai Feng, Wade is more inclined to attack, he scored more points, while Bai Feng is more inclined to organization and defense.

But the result is that the Knicks, who are not favored by experts and fans, have the last laugh, and the most important thing is that, except for the Heat in the game, relying on the rotation lineup once overtook the game

In addition to the points, most of the time, the Knicks' main lineup is pressing the Heat's main lineup to play.

Obviously, such a game can definitely be called an "unpopular"!

It's very difficult to win at home with the Heat, let alone when the rhythm of the audience is 3.3 to suppress the opponent.

Just after the game ended, the entire basketball circle and even the sports circle began to discuss this game hotly.

Those basketball experts who sit in the major media have expressed their views on this.

"The Knicks won the game, which seemed like a surprise from the results, but if you look closely, the Heat fell into the opponent's quarter for almost the entire game.

So, the Knicks' win was planned for a long time, not an accident!"

"Obviously, the Knicks are more prepared for the game than the Heat, and as challengers, they have more fighting spirit! Look at Carmelo Anthony, he almost exploded as soon as he came up.

For LeBron James, don't forget, this Knicks team also has three All-Stars!"

"The Heat couldn't stop Anthony's singles, and Stoudemire was wreaking havoc at the basket, but none of the Heat lost the championship, but Bai Feng! Although Bai Feng is only 10

He scored 14 assists, but he has the highest plus-minus among all players tonight. The most important thing is his active defense, which has prevented the Heat from starting many times. Obviously, the point guard is the biggest

The task is to control the field, Bai Feng's huge role is not reflected in the data.

"Obviously, Bai Feng was the biggest contributor to the Knicks' victory in this game. He completely stabilized the offensive and defensive rhythm, making the Heat have to enter the rhythm that belongs to him and the Knicks.

Going on, it's hard to imagine a 20-year-old playing as solidly as a 40-year-old, but it just happened. "

"Even though the Knicks won Game 1, I still think the Heat have the upper hand, but only if they can adjust quickly...I believe Spoelstra

With this ability, as for the trend of the Eastern Conference Finals, "it depends on whether the Heat $2 can find a way to deal with it."
