The rise of basketball legends

The two teams were determined to fight each other, which was a rhythm that both sides liked.

It’s also a treat for the fans.

Watching the ball flying back and forth between the two fields was dizzying.

As soon as the rhythm was fast, the Miami Heat immediately found the feeling.

In the previous positional battle, they played lifelessly. Once the offensive and defensive rhythm quickened, James and Wade showed off their power and played a pleasing coordination.

However, the score was still unable to catch up, because the New York Knicks' perimeter also liked this rhythm and continued to score points in transition.

Almost every round of offense by both sides takes less than 10 seconds. The attack rhythm is fast and the number of rounds is high. With the number of rounds, it is difficult not to score.

The first quarter lasted 8 minutes, and the score was 29 to 22.

Chen Yan's statistics are 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The New York Knicks' current scorer is Curry, who has scored 11 points.

Curry is also a player who is crazy about people. Once he feels good, he dares to throw any ball and score any ball.

After scoring a goal, he did a shoulder-shaking dance, which was so shameless that he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Seeing that Curry has good touch, Chen Yan also gave way to him and allowed him to play freely.

Chen Yan is happy to give part of the shooting rights to Curry. Usually when the two of them break out at the same time, the Knicks are not far away from victory.

James' condition is no worse than in the previous two games, and he has already gained confidence.

Get the ball at the top of the key and use the screen to get to the free throw line.

Facing David West's defense, James took a strong step forward.

The effect is not very good. David West is not Shane Battier, and his body is no thinner than James. If you want to rely on simple and rough hard rush, it will not work.

But James has changed his tactics. Many fans believe that James will only run wild and rely on his body to play without skills. This is definitely a prejudice. A person who only relies on his body to play cannot reach such a height.

James suddenly collected the ball, then turned his back and came to the other side of the basket, using his left hand to score two points.

29:24.

David West had no good way to take advantage of James in this game.

But looking back, David West immediately replaced James.

After Curry passed halftime, Chen Yan came out. Curry glanced at him and decided to pass to David West, who was in a better position.

This handling of the ball is correct. If the Knicks want to reach the end, they cannot mechanically look for Chen Yan. They must learn to give the ball to the right person at the right time.

David West wanted the ball very deep and hit James hard after catching the ball.

James puffed up his chest and took it hard. David West immediately turned around.

David West has a strong body, but he is not a player who relies on his body to play. His footsteps are very flexible and his touch is very soft.

After turning around, David West succeeded with a small throw.

31:24.

"Beautiful! Beautiful response, David!"

Chen Yan rushed up and high-fived David West. He specifically emphasized that the ball was a response ball in order to boost David West's confidence.

The Heat continued to play at a fast pace. James took the ball and took two steps at halftime before looking for Wade.

Wade did not forcefully attack Chen Yan, but used Gasol's screen to create a mismatch, and missed the mid-range shot after an emergency stop.

Battier retreated to the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound.

Wade pounced, not to steal, but to interfere with Battier's ball.

Of course, if Battier chooses to force the ball at this time, he will probably give Wade a steal.

After Battier stabilized himself, Chen Yan walked around to help him.

In this round, the Knicks entered a positional battle to attack.

David West pulled to the outside to cover, and Chen Yan dribbled to the right.

James chose to switch defense. Chen Yan's desire to attack was not strong tonight, and the Heat did not adopt a double-teaming tactic against him.

At this time, Battier ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt. He did not place in the three-point corner as usual. This round, Battier chose to cut without the ball.

Chen Yan hit the ground and passed the ball immediately. Battier leaned on Mike Miller and then threw the ball.

Not in.

Battier himself is not a player who is good at taking shots in confrontation.

Jordan jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound!

Gasol failed to protect the rebound, and raised his hands as if to make up for it, sticking close to DeAndre Jordan.

Curry and Chen Yan asked for the ball from the outside, but Jordan's vision and golf IQ were not that high, so he hit the ball hard against Gasol.

Jordan's athletic ability is much higher than that of Gasol, but Gasol pressed him and couldn't jump at all.

The ball bounced out, and Battier under the basket was very alert and grabbed the first landing spot.

"Another offensive rebound! Battier's shot is very smart!" Zhang Lili praised.

Battier's first reaction after getting the rebound was to pass the ball outside.

He is very sensible.

Chen Yan took action immediately after catching the ball!

This is a pure shooter's action, but Chen Yan is also very good at it. His ability without the ball is top-notch. He can catch and shoot the ball naturally with his hands.

"Shh!"

The basketball flew through a high parabola and then fell into the net bag.

34:24.

Spo had no choice but to call a timeout.

After the timeout, the Heat's actions were obviously bigger. They were targeting Curry, the weakest player on the Knicks.

Curry was knocked to the ground one after another, and the referee was very strict tonight.

The Knicks also responded with intensity!

Although this is the home court of the Heat, the referees will not be too biased towards the Heat. The situation tonight is different from G3.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, both sides barely scored.

But even so, both sides still scored high scores in the first quarter.

37:28.

The Knicks temporarily took the lead.

Although the lead was nearly 10 points, Chen Yan still felt that it was not safe.

During the break between quarters, Chen Yan took the initiative to find Nelson: "Coach, let me play in the second quarter. I want to play the whole game tonight!"

After hearing this, Old Nelson nodded: "Do what you want."

Nelson has always respected the players' wishes, and in the past few games, James and Wade's playing time was very exaggerated. In one game, James played the entire game until he got cramps.

Nelson feels that if he wants to end this series tonight, he must be tougher on his players.

"Stay some strength on the defensive end and don't work too hard. If the score becomes a stalemate, we will still need you in the fourth quarter!"

After listening to what Nelson said, Chen Yan nodded: "I understand, coach."

"In addition, pay attention to protecting yourself." Old Nelson specifically warned.

Nelson clearly saw that the Heat played more roughly at the end of the first quarter. Of all the unexpected situations now, what he is most worried about is Chen Yan's injury.

If Chen Yan is injured, the Knicks' path forward may come to an abrupt end.

After hearing Chen Yan's words, the Knicks generals suddenly felt confident.

Chen Yan playing the entire game is a guarantee for the team's victory.

But before Chen Yan came on the scene in the second quarter, he specifically glanced at the Heat.

Sure enough, his guess was correct, James also chose to stay on the court.
