Chapter 301 Perfect Defense!
On December 12th, the American Airlines Arena was overcrowded, and the gathering of the Big Three aroused the enthusiasm of Miami fans, especially after the status of the Big Three was getting better and better. It seems that there are only two teams in the East that can threaten them, one is the Celtics and the other is the Knicks.

Now that the Knicks have been defeated by them, the only enemy now is the Celtics. What they don't want to mention is that Miami has been double-killed by the Celtics this season, which is indeed embarrassing.

But the Knicks were able to beat the Celtics, while the Miami Heat were able to beat the Knicks. This shows that the Heat are likely to beat the Celtics. The Walters are old, and the next time they meet the team, they are likely to win a big victory.

Game start.

James, who came to Miami, no longer sprinkles magnesium powder, but the cheers of Miami fans still demonstrate the extraordinary appeal of James.

When the Knicks entered the arena, there were boos all over the court. Miami fans were very hostile to the Knicks, a team that is likely to hinder the team in the playoffs. The boos were mixed with a lot of scolding. Gates His facial expression remained unchanged and his expression was calm. After experiencing the playoffs, he felt that these were just small scenes.

The Knicks are: Gatsby, Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Andrew Bogut.

For the Miami Heat: Carlos Arroyo, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Zajunas Ilgauskas.

Bogut and Big Z jumped the ball in the middle circle. The 221cm Big Z gave the ball to Wade. Wade slowly dribbled the ball across the half court.

Jeff Van Gundy was surprised when he saw that it was Gatsby who was following Wade: "Huh? Did Gatsby go up to defend Wade? Coach D'Antoni really made this attempt."

Mike Brin said with a smile: "Wade's height is 193cm and weight is 98kg. Gatsby's height is 2cm taller than Wade's, but his weight is much lighter. Gatsby's weight was less than 80kg when he was a rookie, but He looks a lot stronger now, but he still looks a lot slimmer compared to Wade."

Gatsby was very cautious about defending Wade, and he didn't take it lightly. Wade's speed was too fast. Once he hit the ball, it would be easy for Wade to pass him. Be cautious, he has played against Gatsby, knowing Gatsby's defense is very good, and he dare not underestimate Gatsby.

Wade is short, dribbles under the crotch, and changes the ball from left hand to right hand to break through to the right. Wade's center of gravity is very low, and his shoulders are tilted. Wade's speed is too fast. The average defensive player faces Wade like this. If you don't pay attention to the breakthrough, you will be passed by. Even if you keep up with your body, you can knock away the defender with a hit by Wade's weight, and then a change of direction without slowing down is enough to pass.

Gatsby was prepared earlier, his center of gravity was lower than Wade's. The moment Wade picked up his speed, he took two steps back, and his hands were about to touch the ground. Seeing Gatsby's reaction, Wade So quickly, he immediately changed direction and broke through to the left. This time, Gatsby did not retreat, and made a physical contact with Wade. Gatsby felt a strong force coming, but he only took a step back and kept it In front of Wade.

Wade slammed Gatsby back only one step, and his own speed was also limited. His heart tightened: Gatsby's strength has increased again, and his speed has also become much faster!

Wade's strength lies in his perfect control of his body. When his second breakthrough was blocked, he did not stop there. He jumped with both feet to make room, slapped the ball with his left hand to his right, changed the direction and broke out again. This time Wade Wade passed Gatsby half his body, but Gatsby was not in a hurry. Wade broke through on the right side, and was blocked by Gatsby in the middle. Someone was flanking him, and Stoudemire came over in time to help defend.

After two months of running-in, Stoudemire is already very proficient in assisting defense. His physical fitness is top-notch after all. His defense is not good because the team he was in before did not pay much attention to defense. Now the team With strong defensive players like Wilson, Chandler and Gatsby, he also had to study hard. In fact, it has been proved that defense is not difficult as long as there is a physical foundation and a positive attitude.

Stoudemire's steps were very fast, and he suddenly flanked Wade. No matter how good Wade was, he could only seek to pass the ball. Bosh came to respond. Wade took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Bosh, where Bosh caught the ball. Within the three-point line, but if he takes the shot, it will be a long-range mid-range shot. Bosh has a mid-range shot, but his confidence is not high. He did not rush to take the shot and handed the ball to James.

James was on the three-point line, and after receiving the ball, he took a step inside and shot. Because of the lack of time, James made his first shot, and Gatsby turned around and caught Wade and took off the rebound.

Jeff Van Gundy praised: "Perfect defense! The ball was defended really well. Gatsby blocked Wade's several changes of direction, and Wade was forced to attack the flank. Stoudemire's timely help defense made Wade There is no way to make a shot, so I can only give the ball to Bosh. In the end, the attack time is approaching and James misses the shot.

Gatsby's defense is very clean. He basically doesn't attack, but keeps in front of the opponent. His speed is very fast, his strength is also very strong, and his height ensures that Wade cannot easily shoot. Coach D'Antoni's arrangement is correct. "

Gatsby dribbled the ball past half court, Billups was ready to receive the ball from the 45-degree three-point line, Anthony was in the corner, Stoudemire was roaming in the low post on the left, and Bogut rushed up to help Gatsby with a high pick-and-roll in the middle. Big Z stepped on the free throw line with his long legs in a daze, and waited for Gatsby to rush in with his long hands.

Carlos was blocked by Bogut, and Gatsby moved slightly to the right. There was no land two meters in front of him. Gatsby shot a three-pointer with a very good rhythm. Gatsby knew the ball without even looking. What's even more ridiculous is that when Bogut saw Gatsby complete the shot, he raised his hands and ran back to the frontcourt to defend without looking at the ball.

There was an uproar in the American Airlines arena, and the Knicks were too arrogant. Many fans opened their mouths to scold, but before they could, the fast-spinning basketball in the air passed through the heart of the hoop and let out a pleasant cry. Go through the net!The swear words that were about to be blurted out were swallowed by the fans, but the next moment there was a lot of boos in the American Airlines Arena!
The big screen showed Bogut and Gatsby going back to defend without watching the ball at the same time. Mark Jackson laughed so hard that his stomach ached: "These two are too funny. Is this a trick they discussed?"

Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile: "Probably not. Bogut trusts Gatsby, and Gatsby trusts his own touch. This shows that Gatsby's shots are too accurate."
