Chapter 423 The beasts must see blood when they come out of the cage!
If James could even make such a shot, Lian Dao would admit it.
Unfortunately, this kind of ridiculously deflected shot is destined to end in a blackout.
"The Heat's offense in the second round was blocked again. In two rounds, Dwyane and LeBron, the two leading stars of the Heat, were defeated by Lian Dao's defense one after another. It was really an amazing defense!"
Kenny Smith was also filled with admiration at this time, but now the American Airlines Arena was already dead silent. They didn't expect that the two leading stars would fall to Lian Dao's defense one after another.
Lian Dao jumped up to collect the rebound before James. Now he is in the fourth position, and rebounding is one of his main responsibilities.
Each position has different tasks. Playing the fourth position is not as simple as simply changing the name of the position. When playing the fourth position, while ensuring the offense, the defensive end also needs to ensure the ability to protect the frame, rebounding ability, etc.
.
Sometimes, the fourth position even needs to support the team's low-post offense.
This time, Lian Dao didn't choose one dragon. He was entangled by James, so he immediately handed the ball to Holiday.
With the experience of the first round, the Heat retreated very quickly this time.
The Knicks were not in a hurry and still attacked methodically and at their own pace.
Holiday is very stable with the ball and very patient.
Since the Heat retreat quickly, the Knicks are not in a hurry to play fast break.
Lian Dao stood outside the three-point line, and Holiday handed the ball to Lian Dao hand in hand.
The rest of the Knicks began to move in an orderly manner. Unlike the previous two games, in this game, the Knicks had four players standing outside the three-point line.
There is only Stoudemire in the mid-range area.
Everyone thought that the Knicks would, like the Heat, use screens on the outside to shoot three-pointers, or directly hit the basket.
But the Knicks didn't do that. They played fast and fast, and slow and slow.
The offensive threat of the Knicks' small lineup goes far beyond that.
All four players were outside the three-point line, and the space was opened instantly. Lian Dao directly handed the ball to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire beat Bosh in singles with a ball face frame.
Now, the Heat know exactly why the Knicks aren't rushing to speed up.
Although Bosh is the Heat's number one inside player, Bosh's defensive ability is not that strong.
He moves quickly and has excellent defense ability, but when faced with a strong opponent like Stoudemire, Bosh is a little overwhelmed.
There aren't many players in the league who can lock down Stoudemire on the offensive end in one-on-one situations.
Moreover, his physical discomfort in the first two games caused him to feel shackles in his heart.
In order to prove his ability in this game, Stoudemire completely opened his shackles.
When the beast comes out of the cage, there will be blood!
With only him and Bosh inside the three-point line, Stoudemire now fully unleashes his offensive capabilities.
After receiving the ball, he dribbled the ball inside against Bosh, then reached the penalty area, collected the ball directly, and took three steps to push away Bosh. Bosh could not resist the impact of the little bully.
Stoudemire took off strongly under the basket and dunked through Bosh to complete the score.
"The Little Overlord's strength is still the same as before, and his ability to play in singles inside the basket. There is no player in the league who can surpass Amare! The Knicks' two opening finishes both fell on Amare. It seems that Amare
This game is about to explode!”
"From these two attacks, we can also find that the Knicks' internal strength has not been weakened. On the contrary, the small-ball lineup will unleash Amare's offense. He is even more comfortable under D'Antoni's small-ball lineup!"
Kenny Smith also applauded D'Antoni's tactics. As expected, anyone who can win the best head coach will always have two brushes under his command.
With this lineup on the court, the Heat wouldn't dare to double-team at all. The four players on the perimeter all have three-point ability, and any three-point shot can kill the game.
Especially for Lian Dao, James didn't dare to let down his guard at all. He just saw Bosh being beaten hard. Although James wanted to make up for it, he didn't dare.
It's really painful to know that the other person is poking at your weak spots and you can only watch.
James and Wade are the most depressed people on the court at the moment. I thought this game would go the same way as the last game. The worst thing was that the two teams had a hearty exchange of blows. Who knew, the Heat's offense would hit them at the beginning?
So difficult.
The only thing the Heat are thankful for is that Stoudemire's inside defense is not top-notch, it can only be said to be passable. Whether in the Suns or the Knicks, Stoudemire cannot be called a defensive gate.
In fact, this means that the Heat's inside strength is weak. If Bosh was replaced by Yao Ming, the Knicks would never dare to play like this.
The era of big centers has come to an end, and the scarcity of low-post killers has destined the team's offense to gradually shift to small ball!
The Heat continued to attack, and James was very annoyed when faced with Lian Dao's entanglement, but he still could not get rid of Lian Dao's defense.
Helpless, James handed the ball to Wade.
But Wade's situation is actually not much better than that of James, especially when faced with a guy who is always stalking him, which gives Wade an extra headache.
Finally, just before the 24-second violation, Wade forced a shot against Danny Green's defense.
But unexpectedly, this guy's luck was really good today. The basketball bounced twice on the basket and rolled into the basket.
In the third attack, the Heat finally scored a goal.
The cheers at the American Airlines Center finally resumed, but Wade, who scored the first offense, was not happy at all.
Others may not know it, but he knows that he was very lucky in that shot just now.
The Knicks continued to attack. The two opening attacks had made the Heat 100% wary of Stoudemire. In order to defend Stoudemire, Bosh kept moving around to block Stoudemire. He went around to defend.
Let Stoudemire catch the ball easily.
It seems that Bosh was just beaten by Stoudemire, otherwise he would not have chosen to go around to defend.
The forward defense is the last resort after all defensive methods have failed to achieve the effect.
However, the Knicks are definitely not a loser. Since their opponents are already wary, they should change their offensive method. After all, the Knicks do not only have Stoudemire as their only offensive point.
Holiday handed the ball to Lian Dao from outside the three-point line. Lian Dao suddenly accelerated after holding the ball. James quickly followed suit, but then Lian Dao made an emergency stop and caught James off guard.
Immediately, Lian Dao, who accelerated again, passed James' defense and went straight to the basket.
Sometimes the simpler the breakthrough action, the more lethal it is.
Of course, all moves are simplified from complexity. Without countless complexity, there would be no simplicity at that moment.
The Heat's inside line is now completely empty, and Bosh is now firmly restrained by Stoudemire, unable to take into account Lian Dao's layup.
Everyone else was held outside the three-point line by the other Knicks, and it was impossible for them to make up defense immediately at this time.
The Heat's inside line was simply defenseless for Lai Landao, but James never gave up. He was still chasing after Lian Dao.
There is no need to question James' defensive ability, especially his shot-blocking ability at the third position, which has always been at the forefront of the league.
Therefore, James will not allow Lian Dao to act recklessly on his head with this goal.
After Lian Dao reached the basket, he put his feet on the floor and jumped up high. James jumped up right after him. He now blocked Lian Dao's layup route with his arms, waiting to give Lian Dao a big shot.
However, Lian Dao didn't even think about going for a layup. He folded his body in the air and drifted to the left side of the basket. Then he pulled the lever with his arm and threw the basketball toward the basket from the opposite direction.
"brush!"
"A beautiful layup on the railing, which completely avoided LeBron's block in the air. It was an aerial game between two people. In the end, sickle was better."
"This shot was very difficult. It drifted from the right side of the basket to the left side, and avoided James' block during the process. I have to say that Sickle's waist and abdominal strength are really too strong, and his ability to stay in the air is better than LeBron's!
"
The Heat fans were completely dumbfounded, especially the fans in the front row. They could clearly feel the talent that was visible to the naked eye. It was so strong that their bodies folded into crayfish, and they could actually complete pull-up layups.
A few Heat fans in the front row couldn't help but shake their heads. Now they were shaken by the outcome of this game.
"Facing such a powerful opponent, can we really defeat it?"
