Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

A thorny question is really before the Knicks.

Not only are they average rim protectors, but their rebounding skills are even worse.

You know, the Heat's two insiders, Bosh and Joel Anthony, are not at the top level of the league, at best they are qualified.

But even so, throughout the first quarter, the Knicks were actually grabbed 10 offensive rebounds by the opponent!

Although some of this is contributed by James and Wade rushing to grab.

But this kind of performance can be said to be ravaged by the Heat's interior.

Dayao, who came here to watch the game with the Knicks, saw such a scene, and he couldn't help but imagine: "If I were in the Knicks, the Heat would definitely not be able to grab so many offensive rebounds."

Of course, after thinking about it, in less than two months, he will hold a retirement ceremony.

Now, as a fan of Bai Feng, we can only hope that the Knicks can summarize in time and play better.

In fact, D'Antoni doesn't have a good solution for this situation either.

The reason why the Knicks lost so many backcourt rebounds, in addition to their average interior rebounding strength, must be related to the lack of good card position.

However, if the card position is done well, there will be no strong defense like the first quarter to make up defenses and fight defenses everywhere!

It has been very successful to keep the Heat's shooting percentage below 30% in the first quarter.

It can only be said that if you gain something, you will lose something.

The Knicks used the protection of rebounds to exchange for a more active and effective defense.

And the tie at 21:21 in the first quarter also illustrates this point.

Under such circumstances, the team naturally does not have to change too much.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the rotations of the two sides began to strike each other again.

The rotation lineup only played for three minutes, and both sides changed into the main lineup at the same time.

Obviously, no one wants to lose their rhythm and advantage in this intense tiebreaker!

On the Heat side, LeBron James is a slightly outrageous three-pointer as soon as he comes up.

His performance can't help but make the hearts of Heat fans tight!

James, who got 4 points in the first quarter, is not bad, just do this as soon as he comes up?

Fortunately, Wade immediately stabilized the rhythm and found the touch. He continuously hit the mid-range pick-and-roll, establishing an advantage for the Heat.

However, the Knicks responded quickly. Stoudemire first made a strong attack at the basket, and then hit the middle distance!

He seems to have a very good feel today. He made three consecutive mid-range hits at the beginning of the first quarter, which forced the Heat's defense to follow.

However, on the Heat side, Bosh is also in good shape. He started to play in the low post and turned around to shoot 430 baskets to score.

Then the Heat had a wave of offense, and the home team was already 7 points ahead of the Knicks.

On the Knicks side, Stoudemire was taken care of, Anthony began to strike again, and Bai Feng's mid-to-long-range shots were no longer accurate in the first quarter.

Just as the home fans were having a good time with the Heat's defense on the court, the "nerve JR Smith" of the Knicks suddenly exploded.

Seeing that no one had the offensive touch, Bai Feng made a screen with JR Smith and asked JR Smith to switch to a high position to attack.

JR took the ball and faced Wade. After dribbling and observing that Wade was not pressing, he made a pull-up jumper directly from the three-point line.

Swish!

Three point hit!

Apparently, this attempt was the right one, and JR seems to have a good handle on it!

Among the Knicks fans, there are usually various ridicules for JR Smith. Among them, the most popular nicknames are "Neuroknife" and "Three Minute Jordan".

As the name suggests, the meaning of the nerve knife, that is to say, JR plays completely depends on the mood, sometimes very fierce, sometimes very pulling.

The meaning of "Three Minute Jordan" is better understood.

People used to say "JR is not nervous, the game is like Jordan", what they are talking about is JR Smith's unparalleled talent and offensive skills!

When he is "not nervous", in a state, and normal, he will break through the limit and dunk, and drift three points with various difficulties. How to play and see!

At this time, let alone playing Jordan, even if some people say that he is stronger than Jordan, there will probably not be too much refutation, because JR is really fierce, and he has more accurate three-pointers than Jordan.

However, the problem is that even if JR doesn't get nervous, this kind of highlight performance won't last long.

"Three minutes" means that JR usually hits one or two strikes, and after three strikes at most, he will return to his "nerve" state.

All kinds of brainless operations and brainless choices have a negative impact on the team...…………It makes fans feel a big headache.

Because of his performance, when the Knicks have enough firepower, they won't give JR Smith too many sustained offensive scenes.

But at this time, Bai Feng felt that when everyone was taken care of, or the hand was not feeling well, he had to give it a try!

Therefore, in the next round, Bai Feng said something to Xiao Si.

On the offensive end, Stoudemire decisively went beyond the three-point line to give JR an off-ball screen.

After JR ran quickly over the off-ball screen, Bai Feng's pass was precisely in his hands.

JR, who has always been a little brainless in playing, doesn't care about the three-seven-two-one, let him attack, then he will be full of fire!

Regardless of whether or not to get rid of the defender Wade, the ball is a direct dry pull from beyond the arc.

Swish!

Another hit!

JR hit two consecutive three-pointers, instantly reducing the point difference to 1 point.

It also allowed the Heat fans at the scene to see the style of New York's "nerve knife".

On the next Knicks offensive round, Kaede also gave the ball to JR.

Even when Bosh blocked him in the face, JR Smith still chose to pull back and make a three-point shot!

Bosh's style has been on his face, maybe JR can't even see the basket, but the three-pointer is still magically hollow into the net.

Swish!

Silence, just for a moment, the entire American Airlines Arena was silent!

You can even hear the pin drop to the ground.

Although it was only for a moment, and then everyone resumed the noise, it was enough to show how shocked the fans were at that moment!

JR's three consecutive three-pointers instantly helped the Knicks overtake the score, and also stopped the Heat strongly, forcing them to call a timeout.

Knicks sideline, JR Smith was warmly praised by his teammates.

"JR, you're a genius tonight. The fans say you're Jordan in three minutes. I think you're even stronger than Jordan!"

"These three three-pointers are too amazing, especially the last one, there is no room for shots, how did you do it, JR?"

JR Smith said with a smile: "It's nothing, Bai Feng passes the ball to me, then I will throw the ball directly, whether I can get in depends on luck, in short, I think I have to throw the ball first.

Yes, Scared Smith is such a brainless player.

Don't look at how gorgeous his folded back dunks, layup dunks, and continuous elegant shots are when he is playing a high-profile performance.

These gorgeous moves are never based on thinking, just because JR Smith likes and learns these moves, on the court, no matter how the opponent defends him, he can get the ball wherever he wants!

Well, that's the real reason why he is sometimes "Jordan" and sometimes "nervous".

However, in Bai Feng's view, JR Smith is a double-edged sword.

But whether this double-edged sword is beneficial or harmful to you depends entirely on the person who uses it.

At a certain time, let JR Smith go to the storm, maybe it will be able to achieve results.

For example, now, three consecutive three-pointers have directly reversed the situation of Bizhan.

JR Smith is indeed worthy of the title of "Three Minute Jordan". When the timeout is over, when he returns to the game, he shoots another three-pointer, and he has a three-point shot?!

Tribute to James at the beginning of the game?

JR didn't explain, but said to Bai Feng during the retreat: "I don't have the feeling, I can't make the shot.

That means, tell Bai Feng not to pass the ball to him.

Without breaking the balance outside shot, after that, the two sides entered the offensive and defensive rhythm like the first quarter.

With Stoudemire and Turiaf paying more attention to protecting rebounds, the Knicks' backcourt rebounds finally improved.

Played more than half of the time, the Heat have not yet got 1 offensive rebound.

However, due to the emphasis on the protection of rebounds, the assist defense for supplementary defense is not as strong as the first quarter.

Bosh and Joel Anton (bcbb) Ni seized the opportunity and scored many times in the Knicks basket.

...[012211212054442110]

Fortunately, there is still Stoudemire on the Knicks side to respond, but it did not allow the Heat to pull the score away.

Throughout the second quarter, the Heat's offensive efficiency has been greatly improved compared to the first quarter.

With 10 points in a single quarter of Bosh and 7 points in a single quarter of Wade, the Heat won the Knicks by 2 points in a single quarter.

On the Knicks side, it was JR Smith, who scored 11 points in a single quarter, and Stoudemire, who also scored 7 points.

It is worth mentioning that LeBron James, one of the Big Three of the Heat, only made 2 shots in this quarter, and he failed to make a hit. He also swallowed a zero in a single quarter.

In this way, after the first half, the Knicks were 45:47 away, 2 points behind the Heat.

For the Knicks, such a half is perfectly acceptable!

After all, in the case of insufficient rotation, they only lost 2 points in the half.

Although the rebounds in the backcourt were in a hurry in the first quarter, they adjusted in time in the second quarter and seemed to solve this problem.

The performance of the players was also very good. Bai Feng and Xiao Si each scored 13 points. JR Smith also scored 11 points for his "God" upper body. In the second quarter, Anthony was slightly drawn.

There are also 6 points in the account.

The four of them accounted for almost all of the Knicks' scoring.

However, for the Knicks, the most good news is the poor performance and state of the Heat's leader LeBron James!

In the entire first half, James scored 4 points in the first quarter, and did not score 1 point in the second quarter.

The performance of 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the halftime proved once again that James is not just a bad hand.

Under such circumstances, even if Chris Bosh performed bravely and scored 16 points in the half, Wade also scored 13 points.

Joel Anthony had 10 rebounds in the half, including 6 offensive rebounds.

Still only 2 points ahead of the Knicks.

In the words of some Heat fans, it is: "What is LeBron James doing? Playing stealth at 4 points at halftime? As long as he plays a little more normal, we are now leading by at least double digits!"

Yes, everyone noticed James' poor performance.

In other words, the performance of a superstar like him is the barometer of the team.

When James is bad, the Heat are more insane.

It was precisely because James scored only 13 points in the last game that the Heat finally lost the game.

Now, in a battle like the tiebreaker, the 4-point halftime performance is probably even worse.

At halftime, the Knicks' locker room was full of joy.

"Bai Feng is right, LeBron James pulled again, although I don't know what happened to this guy, but he really has no fighting spirit on the court, his defense is good, and he doesn't have much desire to attack on the offensive end. It's shooting threes from the outside."

"Yeah, is this guy LeBron going to defend with all his strength? In the first half, he spent all his energy on marking me!" Anthony couldn't help but complain. Field points are not good performance factors.

"Hahaha, LeBron isn't going to score in double figures today, is he? That's ridiculous."

"If that's the case, we're sure to win... But it doesn't feel like it. If a player of his level wants to score, no one should stop him, right?"

In this tiebreaker, the Knicks' defensive arrangement before the game was to let James go to long shots.

Throughout the first half, Anthony did just that.

Except for a layup and a mid-range, James's other shots were all long shots, and none of them made it.

Now after this half, this approach seems to have played a very good effect.

At this time, coach D'Antoni reminded everyone: "Don't take it lightly, the Heat are a strong opponent, even if they let a LeBron James, the overall strength is not necessarily below us, their inside line has a lot of strength. So, in the second half, we have to figure out how to consolidate my inside line, how to do a good job of defending while taking into account the rebounding... We have to start from the defense, just like the Heat did!"

On the other side, the Heat's locker room seemed a little lifeless.

LeBron James is back in the situation where he's been sulking in the locker room recently, and whether Wade or Spoelstra coach him, he'll listen carefully and nod in approval.

But the effect received was minimal.

Throughout the first half, James made 2 of 6 shots and had only 4 points.

Compared with his shooting percentage of a little more than 30%, Coach Spoelstra is more worried about the reduction of James' desire to attack on the court.

There were only 6 shots in the half, which really didn't fit his style.

So, coach Spoelstra gave James an order at this time: "LeBron, you must cheer up, you must increase the number of hits to the basket in the third quarter, otherwise we may fail!"

Obviously, Coach Spoel is changing his direction to throw the blame for the possible failure on himself.

When James heard this, he couldn't help being a little annoyed. On the surface, he nodded his head, but in his heart he had already scolded several "Cao Nima".

Wade on the side looked at such a situation, although a little helpless, but more of an ambition!

Yes, in the city of Miami, he was once a hero!

Five years ago in the summer, when the team was unable to stand up in the finals and fell behind by a big score of 0:2, he also had such ambitions.

Next, he did it!

For four consecutive games, like a lone hero, he led the team to reverse and win the championship.

God of War.

Now, in G7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, his good brother LeBron James is in trouble.

Wade knew that he had to stand up. No matter what James went through, he probably couldn't expect him to play well in this game.

He must stand up and lead his good brother James to get through this hurdle. After entering the finals, Riqie will be fine!

Looking at Bosh, who scored 16 points in the half, Wade felt that he was not alone.

That's right, join forces with Bosh to fight this half, and everything will be fine!
