Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

After Wade made 2 free throws, the score came to 5:2.

The Knicks attacked. This time, Anthony took advantage of Stoudemire's screen to catch the ball. Before the opponent's double-team came over, he made a breakthrough after a tentative step in front of James and made a mid-range pull-up.

hit!

7:2

After scoring the goal, Anthony was very excited and made a shot to his head in celebration.

In this round of the series, he was guarded by the Heat team, and obviously, he was not happy at all.

Even if the Knicks could devise him off-the-ball screen-to-catch jumpers, it's not a rhythm that Anthony likes.

When he doesn't feel hot enough, the catch-and-shoot percentage won't be high.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction tonight.

The Heat attacked, the ball hit the basket, and Bosh scored 2 points after swaying Turiaf with a false shot.

7:4

In the Knicks round, Anthony ran out of opportunities again. After receiving a pass from Bai Feng, he made a fake shot and flew to James. He went to the basket and scored points.

9:4

In the Heat's round, Wade made a lateral breakthrough after the pick-and-roll and accelerated the master to make a layup.

9:6

The Knicks attacked, JR Smith made an empty cut, and after receiving a pass from Bai Feng, he went back to the blue and succeeded.

11:6

For the Knicks, whether it's fans or players, everyone's mentality was very relaxed after G6 came on the court.

And it is this kind of ease that allows players to play without any scruples.

Anthony actively moved to catch the ball, JR Smith also made frequent empty cuts, and Stoudemire did not spare any effort to screen and pick-and-roll. Bai Feng naturally had a lot of passing options.

It seems that the rich playoff experience of Anthony and Stoudemire has played a role. If there is no psychological burden, everyone will play more smoothly.

However, the Heat team is also in good shape. Under the leadership of Wade, they played steadily and still adhered to the consistent offensive principle of the Heat team and hit the ball to the basket!

Even on the road, they play that way, because it makes them sweet.

In the last game, the Heat had a chance to win the game against the Knicks.

Now, even if they start behind the Knicks, they don't panic, because they know that the strategy of attacking the inside line is accumulated and won't let him take too much advantage at the beginning.

At the back, when the number of fouls of the opponent gradually accumulates, when the opponent can drop because of the anti-body ability, the regiment is the best time to exert force.

In addition, if the middle and long distance shooting feel is found in the middle, it can be regarded as a wave of additional gains.

So, the Heat are in no hurry at all!

Sure enough, the Knicks' state didn't last long.

After playing a good ball for four minutes in the opening, the touch began to decline after opening 927.

Anthony's catch-and-shoot shot started to hit the iron, Stoudemire's downswing also encountered resistance, JR Smith no longer played Jordan, he began to become "nervous"

Missing a few rounds in a row allowed the Heat to catch up with the score.

Fortunately, Bai Feng stood up at this time, made two consecutive mid-range hits, and made a foul at the free throw line by using fake moves to the basket to score 2 points.

With 6 points in a row, it opened the score again.

The Knicks fans cheered.

"Bai Feng's bullpen, Bai Feng, come on, let's beat the Heat!"

"Bai Feng is really fragrant recently, another 40+ game, let's go to cover seven!"

"Who says we can't beat the Heat, as long as Bai Feng is there, then there's no problem at all.

Indeed, Bai Feng gave the Knicks fans a huge surprise in this round of the series.

Especially in G4, he scored 45 points and 15 assists, leading the team to reverse and make the final lore three-pointer, which directly sublimated his image in the hearts of Knicks fans.

In that game, he had countless fans, and his jersey was sold out the next day.

The entire New York fandom is talking about him.

Now, the Knicks, who are back at home again after losing the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, seem to be taking off again under the leadership of Bai Feng!

But the Heat are still the Heat after all, and they immediately organized an effective response.

After Bai Feng's breakthrough score, they immediately launched a quick counterattack. James made a long pass to find Wade who was going down quickly, completed Janeway's connection, and scored 2 points.

Immediately afterwards, Wade attracted defense after the breakthrough and assisted Bosh to score 2 points.

LeBron James also has a strong offensive performance.

In the last two minutes, both sides sent their main force, and the Heat team was Xiaoyou again.

After the first quarter, the Knicks led by only 1 point at 29:28 at home.

For such a scene, Knicks fans have been taken aback.

I have to say that in this round of the series, except for the last battle of Tianwangshan, the Knicks fell behind by too many points in the first quarter. In the rest of the game, the two teams will be in a stalemate.

No one will lead too much, and in the end it will depend on the final quarter to decide the winner.

It is true that the strength of the Big Three of the Heat is very strong. As long as they play seriously, there will probably be no big Lara phenomenon against any opponent.

And because the Knicks have players like Bai Feng who control the field, the lower limit of the team is not low, so naturally it is not easy for the Knicks to be collapsed.

Of course, Bai Feng couldn't play a whole game. When he was on the break, the Knicks' weak backup lineup was the biggest reason for the team to fall behind.

Tonight was no exception.

In the first quarter, Bai Feng has scored 12 points and 3 assists, but also made 1 turnover.

Once again, if it is not for the timely remedy, it will be 2 mistakes.

Recently, Bai Feng has been paying attention to this phenomenon, that is, how to reduce mistakes as much as possible on the basis of being more involved in personal attack.

A large number of facts have proved that there is no way to have the best of both worlds in this problem.

As long as Bai Feng starts to hold the ball to attack the opponent's defense and break the game, the number of turnovers will definitely increase.

For example, the night he scored 45 points and 15 assists, the number of turnovers rose to 4.

As an NBA player, getting 45+15 with 4 turnovers is not much.

But compared to Bai Feng's 0.6 turnovers per game in the regular season, that's too much!

What's more, if he made 4 mistakes, the number of teammates' mistakes would also increase. Some mistakes related to Bai Feng were just counted on the teammates' heads.

Of course, with careful analysis, this is indeed a problem that cannot be avoided.

If you want to break the game, you must attack the opponent's defense line, compress the defense, and speed up the attack...

As long as it is close to it, it is definitely not stable enough.

Some people may say, is stability and instability important? Isn't winning the most important?

Yes, yes, in the NBA, winning is the most important thing.

Therefore, the night when Bai Feng scored 45+15 and led his team to reverse the lore, 4 mistakes were not important at all.

However, in G2 of the series, Bai Feng also scored 40+, but also made 5 turnovers, but lost the game.

So in such a game, can you still feel that mistakes are not important?

Obviously not!

Talking about the last Tianwang Mountain, Bai Feng once started the attack mode when the team was behind by a large score in the second half, and once chased the score to only 6 points!

But in fact, after that, it was also because of Bai Feng's two consecutive mistakes that the opponent pulled the score away again.

The whole game Bai Feng scored 25 points, but also had 4 turnovers.

In the last four games, Bai Feng has made more than 4 turnovers in three games.

This is completely different from his previous performance.

Although he averaged 33 points per game in these four games, he was praised by Knicks fans.

But the record is 1 win and 3 losses.

The typical win stats, but lose the game.

Therefore, he still had to consider the question: "Have I forgotten my original intention?"

What is Bai Feng's original intention?

Of course, to be a solid point guard and lead the team to victory.

What is the responsibility of the point guard, firstly to organize the offense, and secondly to be the team's first line of defense!

After that, there is the personal attack.

Now, he seems to be in attacking guard mode.

Averaged 33 points per game, which was the team's highest scoring data.

Of course, many times teammates were restricted, and Bai Feng had to attack.

But he still has to think about a question: "Is there a greater chance of individual scoring to lead the team to victory? Or is there a greater chance of serving the team?"

In fact, this kind of problem is not a problem at all, Bai Feng also understands the reason, both have opportunities, but need to find a balance.

But, where is the balance?

While Bai Feng was thinking about it, the second section of Biyu had already started.

The Heat's bench lineup, led by Chalmers and Joel Anthony, played very impactful, smashing the Knicks' already weak rotation.

They rush to the rim again and again, as if the Knicks' rim was their back garden, just wandering around.

The difference was also quickly opened by the Heat.

The good news is that this situation didn't last long, and things improved very well when D'Antoni brought his main lineup on the court.

Carmelo Anthony took the lead, and he first hit a shot from beyond the arc.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed an offensive rebound on the offensive end and then scored a storm.

After receiving a pass from Bai Feng, Tian Ba ​​hit the ball from the middle distance.

Tonight's Carmelo Anthony really showed his fans what he's worth!

As the top ten super scorer in the league and the top scorer of the Knicks in the regular season, he was frequently targeted and double-teamed by opponents in the playoffs.

However, there is a famous saying in the NBA: "If a scorer can be completely limited by double-teaming, he will never be a super scorer.

The meaning of this sentence can be extended a bit, but the most intuitive meaning is that super scorers should not be restricted by double teams.

That's right, Carmelo Anthony is trying to prove it tonight!

Because of his hot hand, the bigger he is, the more excited he is. All kinds of shots that are shot directly after catching the ball are all there are.

The opposite LeBron James is much quieter.

Except for the occasional one or two domineering breakthroughs to the frame, the rest of the time, James did not achieve much. After hitting the iron twice in a row outside the three-point line, he probably lost his desire to attack, and he did not take the initiative to ask for the ball on the offensive end. Do not move, stand outside early to open up space.

In this way, Carmelo Anthony feels that he is much easier on the defensive end, with more energy and physical strength, and can fully devote himself to the offensive end!

But the Heat are always the Heat.

Just in the second half of the second quarter, coach Spoelstra made a lineup adjustment.

he replaced Mike Miller

After Udonis Haslem, the Heat's lineup has become one big and four small.

Chris Bosh played on the court with four perimeter players, and of course, this lineup was LeBron James at the 4th position.

This is not the first time the Heat have used this lineup. In fact, they have already verified the ingenuity of this lineup in the last battle of Tianwangshan.

Mike Miller and Mike Bibby both have accurate outside shots, and James, Wade and Bosh have the greatest destructive power to the Knicks, which is to be reflected in the penalty area.

In the past, when Haslem stayed on the court, the Knicks would have shrunk their defenses aggressively to prevent the Heat from endlessly rushing to the basket.

In such a case, the outside line will inevitably open up opportunities.

And James and Wade's outside shots are very unstable, and sometimes can not achieve the effect of punishing the opponent's defensive strategy.

Putting two shooters on the perimeter at this point puts the problem on the Knicks.

Of course, this lineup is not without its problems.

One big and four small, the inside line will become very thin.

Originally, the inside combination of Bosh + Haslem had an advantage in the basket against the Knicks. Now that a Bosh is placed in the basket, the advantage may have become a disadvantage.

However, considering that the opponent's center Turiaf is not very strong, in fact, the problem is not very big.

The bigger problem is the weak perimeter defense of Mike Miller and Mike Bibby.

Especially when James needs to go to the 4th position to match Stoudemire, using Mike Miller to defend Anthony or JR Smith will suffer.

However, coach Spoelstra has already prepared the back move. For Anthony's defense, let Wade go, and supplement it with a double-team strategy at any time.

And JR Smith's words, get what state he is.

In general, the Heat's lineup with a full sense of space has more advantages than disadvantages. After all, they have given the Knicks a very difficult problem on the offensive end.

In the end, do you want to fully protect the basket and let the opponent's outside shooter in the league?

Or is it normal defense, allowing the basket with weak rim protection to stand the test of bombing again?

When the same question was put in front of D'Antoni, his expression was obviously a lot more serious.

To be honest, there was nothing he could do.

With the ability of the Knicks players to protect the basket, it is impossible to prevent even one of the Heat's Big Three from hitting the basket one-on-one.

It will be effective until the entire line is contracted.

But so, will give the Heat outside opportunities.

Last game, when D'Antoni faced this option, Mike Miller and Wade's 3-pointers caused them great trouble!

This is also one of the reasons that led to the Knicks' defeat in Tianwangshan.

Now, the Heat, who have tasted the sweetness, once again put out this lineup at the end of the first half, and he is still difficult to deal with.

On the field, Bosh and Wade asked for anything at the basket, succeeded in consecutively attacking the frame, or made fouls to go to the free throw line.

In the final analysis, D'Antoni still doesn't plan to give the Heat a chance on the outside. After all, playing inside is only 2 points, the scoring is not explosive, and the Knicks' offense can also be scored.

In the future, there will be a stalemate, at most a small backward situation.

But if the opposing role players on the perimeter shoot away, it's simply devastating!

Only in this way, D'Antoni's choice does not seem to be wrong.

On the Knicks side, it was Anthony's strong response. James went to the 4th position, and the player who came to defend him became Wade.

Then Anthony is welcome, taking advantage of height and weight, the ball will be single king.

Even if the opponent's double-team is coming, he can still rely on his height and feel to forcefully pull and hit before the encirclement is formed!

In this way, between the two sides, at the end of the first half, the Knicks at home are still 2 points ahead with 56:54!

The game was extremely anxious, and Carmelo Anthony scored a team-high 17 points at halftime with his fiery touch.

Although Bai Feng scored 12 points in the first quarter, he didn't feel good in the second quarter. He made 1 of 3 shots, only scored 2 points, and provided 4 assists.

At this time, New York fans once again realized the goodness of the "Big Three" lineup. When one of the core players is not in good condition, there is always another one who can stand up!
