Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 523 It Will Not Be Difficult

The game between the Heat and the Eagles was a little fierce.

But the 34-year-old Wade is still strong, and still led the team to advance to the Eastern Conference finals in six games.

The Eagles only won two games at home, and no one could stand up at critical moments. This problem has become more and more obvious this season.

Just relying on the so-called team on the offensive end can't go further.

That is to say, the abuse of food will look better, and the intensity of the playoffs will show its original shape.

The Heat can enter the Eastern Conference Finals to face off against the Knicks, and many people think of the many duels between brothers and sisters.

But this season, the Heat can unexpectedly return to the Eastern Conference Finals, and many people think it is thanks to the Knicks.

It wasn't that the Knicks traded Gobert, the Heat couldn't achieve their current results, let alone be competitive after Bosh's reimbursement.But whether they can pose a threat to the Knicks is hard to say.

Don't say that Bosh is not there, even if Bosh is there, they are still the weak side.

In the west, the Timberwolves beat the Lakers in six rounds.

James' performance is actually very good, but DeRozan and Kobe are slightly worse.

In the case of meeting in the West, James lost his original historical luck. After being beaten by the Timberwolves to win the match point, he tried his best but failed to make a comeback.

It's not that the Lakers don't have a chance, the Timberwolves still have weaknesses, that is, the Lakers' shooting is indeed a bit short at the critical moment.

The Timberwolves have indeed regrouped this year.

The Thunder also won six games against the Warriors.

The Thunder are absolutely strong this year, but their game also relies heavily on the state of the Gemini.

When Durant and Westbrook have problems with their touch, they may lose.

The Warriors failed to seize the opportunity because they didn't have enough defense. Iguodala and Barnes failed to handle Durant.

And Love once again exposed the lack of scoring ability under high-intensity confrontation.

In the Warriors lineup, there are still few characters who can hold the ball and make a final decision.

In the end, the Timberwolves and the Thunder met in the Western Conference Finals.

Back to the Knicks, they rested enough to start the game again.

To some extent, the Heat's lineup is somewhat similar to the Knicks.

After Bosh was unable to play, their starting lineup was one big and four small.

Dragic, Wade, Joe Johnson, Luol Deng and Gobert, this lineup is definitely not bad.

It's just that they are low-profile versions.In the five positions, that is, Wade will have a certain advantage against Green.

Because the scoring ability is not so strong, the Heat still pay more attention to defense in the playoffs.

Their research on the Knicks is also very thorough. The first quarter of the Eastern Conference finals seemed a little dull under the defense of both sides.And the one who scored the most at the beginning turned out to be Jokic.

Jokic made full use of his comprehensive strength. Although he has not yet reached his peak, he played outside when his opponents couldn't keep up. When the opponents were almost too weak, he played inside. His style of play was very smart.

With the tacit cooperation of the Knicks, he stole a few from the Heat when Gobert was helping to defend.

Therefore, although the Heat's targeted defense has had a certain effect, there are also aspects that cannot be taken care of.

As a superstar, Leonard is naturally actively adjusting his touch.

It's much easier for the Knicks to defend the Heat, because the Heat are a little worse on three-pointers this season.

Without Bosh, they don't have a five-man lineup.

Gobert is easy to use only on the defensive end, and the offensive end really doesn't play a big role.

If it weren't for the obvious advantages and disadvantages of this player, the Knicks wouldn't trade them out so simply.

And entering the rotation period, the Heat couldn't stand it a little bit.

Their substitutes are old and good, and Nine Fingers Green, who can play in the regular season, is completely useless in the playoffs, so their substitutes are purely defensive.

The Knicks are different. Their rotation is mainly offensive. After a season of growth, Booker can already contribute to the team, and Curry is relatively stable.

Some other players, not as prominent, but can also play.

In the Knicks' system, as long as you stay for a long time, you will definitely be able to integrate in and then play your own characteristics.

So, the game gradually began to be controlled by the Knicks.

In the first half, the score gap was not very big, but the Heat had already tried their best, but they could only watch the Knicks players find their rhythm and feel, which made it more difficult for them.

"The Heat have worked hard, but there is still a gap in talent."

"Wade even hit a three-pointer, but the score still didn't lead."

"When there were James and Bosh, the Heat couldn't beat them. Now that James has escaped and Bosh is sick, Wade is of course alone."

"I feel that the rest of the Heat are still a bit stuck. They can't grasp Wade's breakthrough and points. Gobert's rebounds are more than points, which is also a talent."

"Wade has also been manipulated, okay? It will be difficult for him to play well when he meets the players coached by Zhang Sixin."

"Hey, another year without suspense in the East."

"Haha, I just like to watch Zhang Sixin lead the Knicks to kill the Quartet. Not to mention the East, any team from the West is the same. They are all dishes on the Knicks' plate."

In fact, the Heat are relatively stable, and they did not collapse in the second half.

Dragic also gave Wade a lot of help, but they feel like they are always being pressed by the Knicks.

The miracle created in the regular season is really difficult in the playoffs.

Heat coach Spoelstra on the sidelines was expressionless, as if he had expected such a scene long ago.

After Wade hit a three-pointer, the Heat didn't let Wade shoot all the time, but let Wade create opportunities for others. It's just that the Knicks' defense became stronger at critical moments, and the Heat's offense became more unstable.

After Leonard made two consecutive hits in the final quarter and Lowry hit a three-pointer, the game basically had no suspense.

At the last moment, the Heat chose a tactical foul, but the Knicks performed very steadily and firmly grasped the victory in their hands.

After the game, Heat coach Spoelstra also said sternly: "Facing the Knicks, everyone knows that there is no shortcut. We must play the entire 48 minutes."

"They are strong but we will not give up and we will try to win the game afterwards."

Wade also said, "We didn't play a good game. We could have played better, but there were some mistakes that had to be corrected. If we want to win the game, we must work harder."

He also talked about Jokic, who performed well. Wade said: "He is extremely confrontational, loves physical confrontation, and loves playing in the low post."

The Knicks won their first win in the Eastern Conference finals, and the series has just begun.

However, for the Knicks, who have already figured out the opponent's bottom line, all they need to do is take three more wins, which will not be difficult.
