Cousins mentioned receiving a pass from Holiday near the free throw line. At the same time, Danny Green helped Holiday cover without the ball. Holiday cut inside the basket from a 45° angle. Stoudemire was guarding the basket at this time.
At this time, the rice slips to near the bottom corner of the weak side.
At this time, Cousins passed the ball to Holiday, who was cutting inside. The Heat immediately shrank their defense inside, and Holiday redistributed the ball to Lian Dao on the outside.
Lian Dao did not participate in the front attack, but chose to ambush near the three-point line in the bottom corner on the weak side.
At this time, Lian Dao will have a variety of options. If the opponent makes a cover, Lian Dao will sneak past Stoudemire's low post screen and cause damage at the basket; if the opponent does not cover, Lian Dao will directly shoot a three-pointer.
This time the Heat didn't have time to make up the defense, so Lian Dao shot a three-pointer!
"Whoa!"
The crisp sound of hitting the net came and Lian Dao hit a three-pointer!
The Knicks finally broke through!
Heat bench.
Coach Spoelstra's face remains as normal. He knows that the Knicks have outstanding three-point ability, but he doesn't think they can completely lock down the Knicks' scoring.
If the Knicks could be restricted by just relying on zone defense, then the Heat wouldn't have lost so miserably in last year's Eastern Conference Finals.
Immediately afterwards, in the next round, James and Wade cut in from the left and right sides at the same time. James attacked with the ball, and Wade provided support from the flank.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
But neither of them was the final destination. After attracting double-teams, the two of them passed the ball toward the center.
The "Dragon King" Bosh happened to catch the basketball and hit the long-distance mid-range shot.
Because James and Wade attracted all the attention of the Knicks, Bosh was temporarily let go.
When the Heat scored this goal, the Big Three were all open.
3:9!
D'Antoni frowned, looking serious.
The Heat have five, and four of them are capable of attacking and passing.
The Knicks' assist defense and double attack that worked so well last season turned out to be particularly passive this season when faced with the Heat's style of play.
The Knicks' next attack went wide again, and Chalmers on the Heat's side used a pick-and-roll to break through, disrupting the Knicks' defensive formation. Then James responded and broke through again.
Bosh on the wing quickly moved up to set up a pick-and-roll for James, and he hit Stoudemire with his back in a misplaced position to prepare for a strong attack.
Stoudemire's defense was really hard to describe. Lian Dao had no choice but to defend, but then James passed the ball to Bosh.
Bosh scored again from mid-range!
3:11
D'Antoni had to quickly stop the game at this time.
The cheers of the Heat fans in the audience did not stop at all. The Heat's state, supported by the home atmosphere, was terrifying!
Facts have proved that the Knicks can no longer look at the Heat this season from the perspective of last season.
After they changed their tactical system, James' threat in breaking through and organizing offense was really too great.
"Change your defense and stop flanking. Since they are playing zone defense, we will strengthen passing and cutting, and play three-pointers from the outside. ckle, Danny, take bold shots from outside when you have the opportunity. Zhu, the same goes for you!"
The biggest difference between D'Antoni and last season is that he has become much calmer.
That's right, he is much calmer. Most of the time, he no longer blindly promotes "run and gun", and his tactical options are much richer.
It may be that the championship brought changes to him.
Some head coaches will become flamboyant and high-spirited when they win, but some head coaches will become calm when they win. Obviously D'Antoni is the second type.
This is also because when Lian Dao won the championship last season, many problems were solved through his own strength rather than through tactics to reverse the situation.
This has also made D'Antoni change a lot. Sometimes, not only the players are improving, but the head coach is actually improving too!
After the timeout, the Knicks have the ball.
Holiday organized the offense in the frontcourt, and the Knicks still broke through and shot accurately from the outside, but this time the Heat were already prepared for Lian Dao's outside shooting.
James is always in the passing route of Holiday and Lian Dao. If he breaks through and forcibly distributes the ball, he is likely to be intercepted by James.
"I have to say that the Heat's tactical system is very flexible this season. I'm afraid the Knicks' attack will be in vain again!"
Kenny Smith sighed somewhat.
Holiday returned to the three-point line to reorganize, but Cousins did not know when he had reached the free throw line from the basket.
Lian Dao cut into the basket from the bottom corner, with James following closely behind, but Lian Dao suddenly changed direction and ran directly from the free throw line to the three-point line.
At this time, Cousins happened to block James, and then Lian Dao received Holiday's pass.
Lian Dao didn't adjust at all and directly raised his hand to make a shooting posture.
James had already gotten rid of Cousins' pick-and-roll at this time and rushed towards Lian Dao.
But Lian Dao remained unmoved and still chose to take action quickly.
James made a missed jump, but his palm didn't have time to shrink, and it continued unabated, attacking the wrist of Lian Dao's shooting hand.
"Snapped!"
"Whoa!"
"beep"
"3 1!"
The scene was quiet!
Lian Dao once again played the role of a silencer in the away game.
At this time, his teammates rushed over and high-fived Lian Dao.
Looking at Lian Dao on the court, Coach Spoelstra could not help but frown slightly.
It’s this annoying No. 1 again, and it’s such an unreasonable three points!
Lian Dao walked to the free throw line, and there were overwhelming boos at the scene, but Lian Dao remained unmoved and steadily put the ball into the basket.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Heat steadily pushed the ball into the frontcourt. The Knicks changed their defensive strategy this time. Instead of double-teaming, they chose man-to-man defense.
The Heat saw the Knicks using man-to-man defense, so they chose pick-and-roll and mismatched singles. Unfortunately, except for Stoudemire, the other players' ability to defend the pick-and-roll was not weak.
This directly led to the Heat's continuous cooperation without finding a chance.
In the end, the ball still found its way into Bosh's hands. Stoudemire's defense was the Knicks' weakest point.
Bosh posted up Stoudemire in the low post. After two hard tops, he looked for an opportunity and turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His shooting point is very high, and Stoudemire does not interfere much with him at all.
At this time, Bosh smiled when he saw Stoudemire's defense, as if he saw the basketball passing through the net.
However, some people are born to be unpleasant to others.
Lian Dao arrived very quickly and jumped high into the air the moment the basketball was released. His fingers just touched the edge of the basketball.
"rebound!"
Bosh was shocked. He didn't know when Lian Dao arrived, but when he saw that the shot was blocked, he instinctively asked his teammates to help fight for the rebound.
James rushed to the basket and wanted to collect the rebound. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. Cousins collected the rebound one step ahead.
The Knicks quickly launched a defensive counterattack, with Holiday taking the lead and throwing away Chalmers during the fast break. Wade was still chasing after him.
After reaching the basket, Holiday jumped high and Wade hurriedly stepped forward to block the shot.
It's a pity that this is a fake transfer.
Lian Dao just arrived outside the three-point line and was about to take action after receiving the ball. James rushed forward in a hurry.
Lian Dao took the ball back, dribbled to the left, moved laterally, and shot!
After a set of movements, everything goes smoothly!
"brush!"
10:11!
After two attacks, the Heat had an 8-point advantage. In an instant, they were chased by the Knicks with only 1 point left.
The fans at the scene were stunned, but then they booed loudly again to show that they would never give in.
However, when Lian Dao was returning to defense, he faced the Heat audience and put his index finger between his lips, making a gesture of shutting up.
This action made the Heat fans at the scene even more angry, and they responded with more intense abuse and boos.
But Lian Dao didn't care at all. Not only did he not care, he also showed a smile of enjoyment and raised his hands, meaning: the boos can be louder!
D'Antoni shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was a little helpless at Lian Dao's behavior of provoking away fans.
There is no way, Lian Dao is like this, very vindictive!
He doesn't feel like he's playing on the road at all now. He feels like he's at Madison Square Garden. The boos at the scene are the biggest affirmation for him. He enjoys the panic he brings to the away fans.
Of course, not everyone booed Lian Dao. At least the Knicks bench was in jubilation now.
Lian Dao attacked twice and scored 7 points. In less than 30 seconds, he fell behind by eight points and was about to be tied in an instant.
Millsap, the drama queen, clutched his chest with a look of horror on his face, indicating that he was about to have a heart attack due to the stimulation.
As for Hassan, Dabai Bian, at this time, he waved the towel in his hand until it flew up, and let out a strange cry from his mouth, just like a husky.
