Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

Miami, American Airlines Arena!

Everything is still as usual!

Miami's unique hot climate has also created the enthusiasm of the fans here.

They surrounded the entire arena, wearing fan uniforms, carrying various slogans, and wandering around.

Once they saw the camera, they happily shouted at the camera: "Heat, oil! We are the champions!"

For the Heat, they are full of confidence, as if the Heat are completely impossible to lose from this round of the series.

Of course, not only the fans of the Heat think so, but also the so-called NBA bigwigs and experts all agree that the Heat will easily defeat the Knicks in the tiebreaker to advance.

This is not only an affirmation of the absolute strength of the Heat team, but also a belief in the Big Three!

Of course, Dwyane Wade needless to say. Five years ago, he was consecrated in the playoffs. Now this round of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks is also outstanding.

Although LeBron James played a bit "sleepwalking" and pulled his hips in the last game, his perennial MVP candidate and the strength of the second player in the league are still reassuring.

Chris Bosh can achieve stable output, and has a certain rim protection and ability. On the whole, he is not lost to Stoudemire, the All-Star insider of the Knicks.

Plus a lot of good players in the rotation.

This lineup is indeed much stronger than the Knicks.

Finally, the home team will give him their solid support. Under such circumstances, how can the Heat team lose at home?

To some extent, these Heat fans may seem too optimistic, or even underestimate the enemy.

After all, in the NBA, anything can happen, even if you have an advantage everywhere, there will still be many uncertainties in the game, which will affect the final result.

However, fortunately, the Heat have no idea of ​​underestimating the enemy from top to bottom!

The series came to Game 7, and for whatever reason the Knicks won three games, it's no accident.

Whether it is luck or strength, in short, even if the Heat have the advantage of "the right place and the right place" at home, there is no guarantee that they will be able to win the Zhongkes.

For Dwyane Wade, especially in the last G6 loss, LeBron James' abnormal performance made him worry.

Therefore, before the tiebreaker, he mobilized the players: "Brothers, we can't take it lightly, the opponent must come prepared, we must play this game as a final, we must defend well and fight hard. Next tiebreaker victory!"

In fact, Wade's voice is also the idea of ​​coach Spoelstra.

The two of them had a discussion the day before, and the answer they got was surprisingly consistent, that the 20th must be won by defense!

In the six games before the series, the Heat focused their efforts on attacking the opponent's basket because of the Knicks' rim-protecting disadvantage.

This has indeed achieved good results, but there are also some games, because they are not airtight enough defense, they will be overturned by the opponent's attack.

In the NBA, there is a famous saying: "Defense wins championships!"

Although this is not the finals, winning this tiebreaker is probably no different from winning the championship.

After all, the opponent in the finals is the Mavericks who are not very optimistic about the world.

Coach Spoelstra and Wade had a lot of review discussions, mainly on the steady play style of GG of the Knicks.

"It looks like the way to break the Knicks' solid play is a stronger offense...but that's not the case, we need to drag them into the defense to win," Spoelstra said.

Yes, winning with defense is not just theoretical.

The Heat once defeated the Knicks by a large score in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but in the case of strengthening their defense, they used an inside attack, so that the Knicks did not even get 40 points in the first half, and finally the Heat won by a big score. .

Especially considering that LeBron James and Chris Bosh have been in a state of great ups and downs recently, if they are attacking, if they are both ineffective and Wade is the only one to attack

Then you will fall into the dilemma of the last game.

All things considered, for such a tiebreaker, the Heat can still rely on defense!

Heat players responded positively to Wade's call, and although LeBron James was among them, he still didn't seem to be in high spirits today.

On the other hand, in the Knicks locker room, in the preparations before the game, D'Antoni emphasized again: "The Heat will definitely drag the game into the rhythm of the battle of Tianwangshan, and perhaps they will greatly strengthen it. Defense, we have to prepare for a tough battle, of course, it is different from the battle of Tianwang Mountain, in fact, we have more advantages, because Xi has no psychological burden~!"

Indeed, D'Antoni is right at all. Unlike the previous Tianwangshan game, the Heat's psychological burden will become very large when the game comes to the tiebreaker.

The Knicks are completely different.

It can be seen that every player seems very relaxed.

Anthony was eager to try, Xiao Si was full of expectations, and even Bai Feng smiled.

Finally, after the Miami Heat's explosive appearance ceremony, the tiebreaker that the whole world is looking forward to is about to begin.

The Heat's starting lineup for this game was adjusted again. Coach Spoelstra put Bosh back at the No. 4 position and let Joel Anthony start.

Obviously, this move is to strengthen the inner frame protection!

Stoudemire for the Knicks to get the first wave of offensive possessions.

6:0

If it were in Madison Square Garden, the vibe would have exploded!

After the opening, Stoudemire felt hot and made three consecutive mid-range shots, which the Heat did not expect.

Although Stoudemire does have such a mid-range shot, his stability is not good. His more offensive methods are still playing pick-and-rolls with guards, or in the close-up area and using the first step to single-dry.

Therefore, the Heat's defensive strategy for Stoudemire in this game is to limit him when the pick-and-roll occurs and at the basket.

Never thought that Stoudemire would play like this at the beginning!

Not only are the fans anxious, but the mentality of the players on the field has also changed.

The Heat attacked, and Wade made a pass error!

Bai Feng formed a steal, but fortunately, the Heat retreated quickly enough to prevent the Knicks from forming a fast break.

In the Heat's round, Mike Bibby's 3-pointer shot through the pick-and-roll also hit an iron.

JR Smith got the rebound, but he made a mistake, lost his grip, slipped, and went out of bounds!

JR was very annoyed, but Bai Feng encouraged him and said: "JR, it's okay, you did a good job, just fight like this, let's guard against one more!"

The Heat hit the ball from the sideline, the ball was hit to the basket, and Joel Anthony's storm was interfered with by Turiaf.

But Joel Anthony grabbed the offensive rebound, and he was still disturbed by the attack again, and then grabbed the offensive rebound, but still scored... Stoudemire protected the rebound.

Two consecutive offensive rebounds, but three failed attacks.

It also highlights the characteristics of Joel Anthony as an insider. His technique is slightly rough, but he has a very strong rim protection and rebounding ability.

After Stoudemire grabbed the offensive rebound, he made a strong attack and did not score!

6:4

The rhythm of offense and defense on the field was already a bit messy, and the Heat couldn't even remember how many times they had played iron and how many offensive rebounds they had improved in this round of offense.

Overall, the Heat didn't feel good today, but their players were aggressive enough to grab every rebound!

A large number of offensive rebounds will be able to ensure that they will eventually score the ball.

After being robbed of so many rebounds, Stoudemire shouted in annoyance: "Everyone is stuck in position! Stuck in position, we can't go to so many rebounds anymore!"

The Knicks attacked, but Stoudemire failed to attack.

The score was tied by the Heat, and the first quarter had already been played for 5 minutes!

For 5 minutes, each team is worth 6 points.

A large number of offensive strikes reflected not only the poor feel of the two teams, but also because they both strengthened their concentration and confrontation on the defensive end.

Obviously, this game has evolved into a defensive battle.

The two sides are evenly matched so far, and it is destined to be an anxious game.

The Knicks attacked, and Bai Feng hit a throw after breaking through.

8:6

Anthony and Stoudemire have been taken care of by the Heat's defense recently. At this time, Bai Feng must stand up.

In the Heat's round, Chris Bosh's 2-pointer hit hard, but Wade grabbed an offensive rebound and hit a 2-pointer!

8:8

For the Knicks, a red flag has been born!

That is the problem of losing backcourt rebounds. Originally, in this round of the series, the Knicks did not occupy the inside line compared to the Heat, and they often lost rebounds, but they didn't lose much.

But tonight, the Heat really did the whole army!

With the exception of Bibby, probably, everyone aggressively went for offensive rebounds and achieved great results.

The Heat fans at the scene were also inspired by the fighting spirit of the players, and the shouting was even louder!

"Come on, Heat, just hit it like that, kill them!"

"I love this offensive rebound, just grab it like this, we will definitely win!"

"Hahaha, the Knicks are going to be robbed and cry. If we had a higher hit rate, we would have been ahead by a long time!"

When the Knicks attacked, Bai Feng motioned for his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to duel Bibby.

After passing Bibby with dribbling and speed, Bibby deliberately pulled someone and was called for a foul by the referee.

Immediately after that, the Heat made a substitution, replacing Bibby with Chalmers.

It seems that he intends to strengthen Bai Feng's defense!

The Knicks sent the ball from the front court, and the astute Bosh almost completed the steal. After hitting the ball, he went out again.

This time, Bai Feng went to serve the sideline ball. He passed the ball to Anthony steadily. This time, Anthony turned and made a jumper and finally scored.

Indeed, this was a game that gave each other enough confrontation and pressure, the referee also relaxed the scale, and the whistle did not sound frequently.

In such a situation, every time a score is scored, it will be difficult.

The Knicks are simply having a headache. In this game, their defense has been very good, active and in place, allowing the Heat to fight again and again.

But at the same time, almost every possession allows the Heat to grab offensive rebounds, which will lead to the failure of the defense efforts before.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the rotations of both sides played well.

After the first quarter, the two sides battled to a 21:21 draw!
