Chapter 349 Eastern Conference Semifinals!
On May 5th, G15 of the Eastern Conference Finals begins!
Madison Square Garden has become a carnival for Knicks fans. Fans who bought tickets happily lined up to enter the arena. Those who couldn’t buy tickets also had fun. A few people came to the big screen outside the plaza with frozen beer. Watching the battle below, of course, you don’t have to bring beer, there are many bars selling drinks outside, you can still enjoy drinking, but the price is more expensive.

The fly in the ointment is that Stoudemire's injury has cast a shadow on the hearts of Knicks fans. Everyone knows the strength of the Big Three of the Miami Heat. If all the Knicks are there, everyone will be more confident, but now Stoudemire is injured , everyone's confidence is somewhat lacking.

The game is about to start, the arena is already packed, and the media area has been occupied by various media live reporters. CCTV sent Director Zhang and Yang Yi to broadcast live, and ESPN trio also came to the scene.

The game officially begins.

The starting lineup for the Heat is: Mike Bibby, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Joel Anthony.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: Gatsby, Kevin Martin, Carmelo Anthony, Danilo Gallinari, Tyson Chandler.

Bosh and Chandler jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Chandler got the ball for the first time for the Knicks.

Gatsby crossed the half court with the ball. Mike Bibby was the first to defend Gatsby. Mike Bibby is 185cm tall and weighs 85kg. He was born in 1978 and is 33 years old this year. Bi is getting older and more bewitching, but in terms of speed, his pace has slowed down, and it is not easy to keep up with Gatsby.

Gatsby saw that he stepped forward to defend, and he didn't call the pick-and-roll first. Gatsby dribbled the ball under his crotch, pulled the ball with his left hand and broke through the left side, Bibby quickly retreated, and Gatsby changed direction After passing Bibby and rushing to the inside, the Heat's lineup quickly shrunk. Gatsby threw the ball to Gallinari in the corner, and Gallinari made a shot!
Three point hit!

The Heat have the ball. Bibby dribbles the ball across half court. Wade and James are moving on the wings. Bibby observes the Knicks' defensive lineup. The Knicks are very tight. This is a zone defense!
Bibby's heart sank. The Heat's team is afraid of the zone defense. If they face a team with a good zone defense, LeBron and Dwyane will be unable to break through or make shots. Of course, the method is to shoot three-pointers, but the only one who has three-pointers in the field is himself.

Wade rushed out from the three-point line to ask for the ball, Bibby hurriedly passed the ball over, Wade caught the ball and broke into it, the speed of Wade at the peak was astonishing, he passed Martin with a smooth breakthrough, and took two European moves Dodging Gallinari, twisting his body for a layup, Chandler returned to the defense and interfered with Wade's layup.

Anthony rushed in to protect the rebound, dribbled it to Gatsby after half court, Gatsby gestured for Anthony to come to pick and roll, James directly switched to Gatsby, Anthony pushed down low, Gatsby passed the ball Give it to Anthony, and then cut James away in the middle.

Joel Anthony on the same side hurried over to pinch Anthony, Anthony passed the ball to Gallinari, Gallinari made another shot and returned a three-pointer!

"Hey, Gallinari's hands are really hot today, and he hit two three-pointers as soon as he came up!" Zhang Lili laughed.

"The Knicks feed the shooters the ball as soon as they come up. Whether it's Gatsby breaking through and passing the ball, or Anthony being misplaced on the bottom to attract a double attack and passing the ball, the opportunity is Gallinari. It seems that the Heat's strategy is to put the ball in the bottom corner. But now that Gallinari has made consecutive three-pointers, the Heat should not dare to let go!" Yang Yi explained.

D'Antoni nodded. The Heat really like to flank, as Gatsby said, and they did it right after they came up. When the Knicks were prepared, the Heat suffered a small loss.

Coach Spoelstra frowned. The Knicks passed the ball very quickly. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. If it was intentional, then today's troubles will be big.

Bibby dribbled the ball across half court to James. James held the ball at the top of the arc. Anthony was almost at the free throw line. Seeing that Anthony was not guarding the shot, James tried to shoot a three-pointer, but it didn't work. The basketball hit the neck of the basket. Jumping high, Gatsby blocked Bibby and rushed in to collect the rebound and push for the conversion.

James and Wade were very fast. Gatsby reached the three-point line and stopped. Bibby, who was chasing with all his strength, rushed forward. Gatsby chased and hit a three-pointer!

0: 9!

Madison Square Garden was buzzing with excitement. Gatsby's three-pointer was the Knicks' clarion call. No game would be complete without Gatsby's three-pointer.

Coach Spoelstra hurriedly called a timeout, and he saw some clues. The Knicks defended with a zone defense and let people who were surprised by Bibby shoot. This style of play is really pinching the Heat's weakness.

Jeff Van Gundy praised: "It seems that the Knicks are better prepared. Whether it is offense or defense, they are very targeted. Of course, this is just the beginning. You have to observe more carefully to see more things." , let’s take a look at Coach Spoelstra’s adjustments first.”

Game back.

James received the ball at the center line and dribbled to the top of the arc. Bosh went up to pick and roll. James rushed towards Gallinari. Gallinari was run over by James. Chandler hurried over to cover the defense. James passed the ball to the free throw. Bosh on the line, Bosh hit the mid-range shot.

Gatsby shook his head slightly. The connection between the defenses of this ball is not close enough. It should be faster to pinch James to prevent James from protruding. However, because the Knicks' defense is rarely used, the connection between them is still relatively unfamiliar. .

"Kevin, next time a ball like this happens, we will directly join forces to clamp down on the person who breaks through. The defender can give up temporarily!" Gatsby ordered Martin.

Martin nodded.

Gatsby held the ball across the frontcourt, gesturing while dribbling, and beckoned Chandler to go up the pick-and-roll. Joel Anthony was defending Chandler. Like Gatsby, he was also a draft pick and could join the Heat The team's starting lineup does not rely on offense, but the Heat really can't find a more suitable person. The offense is a mess, but the defense is good, and the dirty work is all on their shoulders.

Chandler blocked Bibby, Gatsby broke through around Chandler, Joel Anthony directly rushed up to defend, Gatsby accelerated half a body, but James on the flank immediately came to pinch, Gatsby Don't stick to the ball, give the ball to Anthony, Anthony holds the ball and breaks through, the Heat's rotation is very fast, Anthony passes the ball to Martin, Martin then rushes and then distributes to Gatsby, Gatsby stuffs the ball to the basket Chandler who copied the back door, Chandler finished with a dunk!
2: 11!

"Beautiful transfer of the ball! It's a pleasure to watch the Knicks play. They move the ball and move the ball. They can always find open teammates to finish!" Director Zhang praised.
