I'm not a basketball bully

It is worth mentioning that although LeBron James is dubbed the proud son of heaven and known as the little emperor of Hakka Village, he has led the team to the top record in the league many times in the regular season, and even won more than once. The league's first in the regular season, but he has never played in the Eastern Conference Finals in his career.

But look at Su Ye.

The first three nba playoffs of his career all reached the division finals, and he even won the nba championship in the second year of his career!

This is the biggest gap between Su Ye and LeBron James.

Since Su Ye entered the NBA, he has compared many players, not just the four shooting guards that Su Ye has always claimed.Su Ye and LeBron James are often compared by media reporters.

Rather than saying that Su Ye plays like a shooting guard, it is better to say that Su Ye plays more like LeBron James.

At least now, Su Ye's style of play at small forwards is indeed similar to that of James, but James is better at passing the ball than Su Ye, while Su Ye is more like a four-pointer in terms of mid-range jumpers. guard.

It might be a bit too much to say it, but Su Ye's style of play is like a combination of James and the four major shooting guards...

Both sides were very focused on the investment in this game. As soon as the game came up, the Cavaliers grabbed the Knicks inside and launched an attack.

Obviously, the Cavaliers have made sufficient pre-game preparations for this, and they are going to use their height advantage to attack the Knicks' basket.

The Cavaliers played very aggressively in the opening game. They hit Hayes in the low post and scored with a hook from the low post. Obviously, Big Z specially practiced his low post before the start of the Eastern Conference finals. The technique of the small hook is designed to eat Hayes' lack of height.

Looking at the Cavaliers' posture, the Knicks saw through their game strategy, so in the second defensive round, the Knicks switched defenses.

Randolph went one-on-one with the big Z, and let Hayes defend the human diving master.

The Knicks' strategy is the same as before. If Big Z's offensive momentum is fierce at the beginning, then use the taller Randolph to defend Big Z to minimize the disadvantage of insufficient height on the defensive end.

But even so, Randolph's height is still a disadvantage.

The Cavaliers' offense was very resolute. As long as Hayes and Randolph were two short inside partners, their strategy of attacking the basket was very resolute.

And this forced Su Ye to often appear in those defensive positions.

In fact, Su Ye is no stranger to this kind of work. After all, before the 76ers, Su Ye mainly played as a power forward.

Inside line protection is something he often does!

It's just that the Cavaliers played too decisively on the offensive end today. Even with Su Ye's help in defense, the Knicks' strategy of attacking the basket is very resolute!

At the end of the first quarter, Su Ye had already received two fouls. Two fouls in a single quarter were undoubtedly a bad sign for the team leader.

In the next game, the Cavaliers continued to hit the Knicks' basket. Although the Knicks had replaced the taller Eddie Curry, the Cavaliers had already played their form.

After halftime, Big Z scored 15 points, and LeBron James also scored 15 points.

The Cavaliers led the 58ers by as many as 48 points 76 to 10 at halftime.

The Knicks are facing their biggest challenge since the playoffs.

This challenge is undoubtedly greater than the last round of the playoffs against the 76ers.

The reason is very simple. When the Knicks played against the 76ers, they also fell behind by double digits at halftime. The boat was broken, and the Knicks started to enter the state slowly.

The Knicks have never encountered this kind of situation in this year's playoffs when the two sides opened up and fell behind by double digits at halftime.

Not only did the team fail to limit the Cavaliers' attack to the basket on the defensive end, but it also did not do well on the offensive end.

You know, the confrontation intensity of this game is not very great, and the Knicks didn't even score 50 points in the half.

The main reason is that Randolph's lethality in the interior has been significantly weakened, and Su Ye and James have not gained much advantage in the matchup.

James scored 15 points and Su Ye scored 16 points.

Neither of the team's two goats took too much advantage over the other.

As for Ray Allen, the main reason is that he put too much energy on the defensive end to deal with Pierce, which caused his shooting percentage on the offensive end to be unsightly. He is now 4 of 1 from outside the three-point line.

After entering the second half, the Knicks' situation still hasn't improved much.

Coupled with Su Ye's foul trouble today, the Knicks still couldn't withstand the Cavaliers' attack in the end.

105 to 93, the Knicks directly lost to the Cavaliers in the away game and scored 12 more points. The 12-point difference also created the biggest point difference for the Knicks to lose to their opponents in the playoffs this season.

In this campaign, Su Ye scored a game-high 32 points. It can be said that he was both a father and a mother in the game, but the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the game was also real.

Randolph had his worst playoff game of the season, scoring only 12 points.Although Ray Allen regained his shooting touch in the second half, his output of only 18 points in the entire game was obviously insufficient.

On the anti-cavaliers side, James scored the highest 28 points. Although the scoring data is not as good as Su Ye, who is facing him, but James can't pass the ball.

James sent as many as 12 assists to help Paul Pierce get 24 points.Big Z's output on the offensive end is even more unbelievable, scoring 20 points, which is actually higher than Randolph!

The first double-digit loss in this year's playoffs has proved something. The Cavaliers are really a difficult opponent to deal with.

In the two games of the Eastern and Western Conference finals, the theoretically stronger side can be said to have not disappointed the fans. The Lakers defeated the Spurs, and the Cavaliers also defeated the Knicks.

The loss of the Knicks in this game caused head coach Prosel a headache, because he couldn't think of an effective way to sanction the Cavaliers for a while.

After a discussion with the coaching staff, he could only follow the way the 76ers had defeated the Cavaliers before.

That is to play fast!

Using constant offensive and defensive transitions to attack the height of the Cavaliers is the way Prosel came up with.

It's a pity that the Knicks' fast-playing tactics still didn't have an absolutely good effect in the second game.

The Knicks' offensive performance today is indeed better than the first game. The fast-paced offense has indeed allowed them to get more points.

But they still haven't effectively restricted the Cavaliers' offense. They still can't limit the big Z's strong attack and James' strong attack in the defense of the position.

Moreover, the efficiency of fast-paced offense alone is actually very limited, especially when the Cavaliers replaced Big Z, the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition did not make them play much better.

……

As a traveler, Su Ye has seen the game style of the future small ball era.

In fact, he knows very well that this Knicks team is not the kind of team suitable for playing fast-paced offense. It may be okay to send a few rounds occasionally. You know the lineup configuration for playing small ball, right?

The small ball style is not just about being short. The small ball strategy requires every player involved to have a good shooting ability, especially shooting from outside the three-point line.

In the Knicks' five-man lineup, Ray Allen's shooting is accurate.

Nate Robinson is also shooting at a reasonable rate from beyond the arc.

But for others, Su Ye can't shoot three-pointers at all, and Randolph is the same, let alone Hayes, making him constipated at the free throw line.

This is completely different from the 76ers last season, because the 76ers play a fast-paced team. When attacking, Su Ye's position is power forward, and even when Millsap is on the court, he has to play as a guest center.

There are Iverson, Korver, and Artay Iguodala on the outside, including Millsap, all of whom are players with a three-point shooting rate of more than 35%.

Therefore, the core advantage of the Knicks is not being fast.

They are short and can play very well because of their ability to attack the basket and the ability to attack in the middle distance, and this small lineup has strong defensive mobility, the team's ability to switch defenses and help defense capabilities is top notch.

It is difficult for the Knicks to play effectively by relying on fast-paced push and switch, without the ability to open up space for chasing three-pointers.

In Game 2 of the series, the Knicks scored 105 points at the Quicken Loans Center, but the team still lost to the Cavaliers.

105比109，尼克斯4分惜败给了骑士，系列赛已经0比2落后了。

In this campaign, Su Ye's performance is still strong, 28 points are still the Knicks' first scoring point, Ray Allen's state is ushering in recovery, scoring 8 points on 5 of 22 shots from beyond the three-point line, Randolph's performance Still confused, scored 16 points.

骑士队的詹姆斯砍下了22分8篮板8助攻的平均数据，皮尔斯则是担当起了骑士队的得分重任篮下28分，大z在进攻端的表现也是一如既往的高效拿下16分10篮板。

. . . . . .

The night after the game, the Knicks flew back to New York on a special plane.

The team members on the plane couldn't sleep, and fell behind 0 to 2. This was the start they didn't expect.

They had imagined that the Cavaliers were a more difficult opponent than the 76ers, but they didn't expect that the Cavaliers didn't take one of the two home games of the Cavaliers.

Such a score made the Knicks so strong that they couldn't sleep.

Prosser looked at the Cavaliers' roster, and he felt that some changes had to be made.

And Prosel felt that the only way to beat the Cavaliers was to rely on the team's offense.

Lanzi's attack is likely to be blocked.

The matchup between Su Ye and James will become extremely difficult.

If Ray Allen is strong on the offensive end and gets blown away by Pierce, it will be very difficult to win this game.

So Prosel made a bold decision after thinking about it.

Then Prosser clapped his hands, waking everyone up from the silence.

Everyone in Nix raised their heads, their eyes focused on Prosel.

"Everyone, we are now 0-2 behind. We are already very difficult. Now, we need to make some changes!"

"The next game, I decided to put Jamal Crawford as the team's starting point guard."

As soon as Prosser said this, everyone in the cabin was stunned.

And... the starting lineup was changed again!

Crawford was also very surprised, and was inexplicably placed in the starting lineup again. Why?

Soon, Prosser gave his reasons.

"We need to do better on the offensive end, we need a playmaker or point of attack!"

Indeed, Randolph's offensive speed and Ray Allen's physical impact have greatly reduced the Knicks' offensive efficiency. At this time, if Nate is still the point guard, it will indeed challenge the Knicks. Start the offense.

Swapping Nate for Crawford, who has a better individual offensive ability, might be a way.

Of course, this is also destined to weaken the scoring ability of the Knicks' bench lineup, but Prosel is ready to extend the playing time of the main players.

At this time, we can no longer hide and hide, it's time to fuck the main players more.

. . . . . . .

After this game, Charles Barkley, who talked the most in the past, has no right to speak in TNT at this moment.

A. Smith was also silent on ESPN, watching the Knicks trailing 0-2 with a complicated mood.

Knicks fans are also now silent on social media.

Even the gorilla Youyin just promised to go to the Knicks game at the moment. As for why he didn't give the Knicks any more advice, I'm afraid it's because the Knicks are weaker than the Cavaliers...

Is the Knicks' journey this season really coming to an end?

. . . .

For Game 3 of the series, the game returns to Madison Square Garden.

It can be said that this game determines whether the Knicks can continue this season, because if they lose again and fall behind 0 to 3, then they will completely say goodbye to this season.

No team can come back from a 0-3 deficit. Not only in the past, but also in the era before Su Ye traveled, no team has ever done this kind of thing.

The experts and reporters on the scene were all shocked when they saw Prosel put out a brand new starting lineup.

"Jamal Crawford actually appeared in the starting lineup, so what the hell is Skip Prosser doing?"

Prosser has always been a very bold head coach. On such a crucial stage as the Eastern Conference finals, he once again changed his lineup and put Crawford, the team's backup single player, in the starting lineup.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Prosel wants to improve the offensive ability of the team's starters, and the Knicks are ready to compete with the Cavaliers on offense!

It is said that the Knicks' defense is very strong, but the Cavaliers' defense is not weak either.

Big Z's basket protection, James and Pierce on the front line, and Larry Hughes at the 1st position.

Even Anderson Varejao at No. 4 is a human flopping elite, making No.1 opponents' offensive fouls per game.

Therefore, this will cause the Knicks' offense to be blocked in the first two games.

In addition to putting on Crawford, the Knicks also made a strategic adjustment on the offensive end, which is to constantly play big Z's pick-and-roll.

Prosser's changes and strategies have received good results.

Crawford, who was put on the starting lineup, often used the mid-range after the pick-and-roll to punish Big Z.

The same is true for Su Ye, Su Ye, who is a weakness that can't be prevented by shooting big Z. It is very painful to shoot big Z in the middle distance.

Crawford did give the team a lot of help on the offensive end, coupled with the Cavaliers' inability to cope, allowed the Knicks to enter the fourth quarter with a lead.

They were still in the lead before entering the fourth quarter. This is the first time the Knicks have played in the Eastern Conference Finals this year.

The lead before the fourth quarter gave Su Ye a taste of victory.

Su Ye played tough again in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Knicks, who returned home, won the victory that was already on the edge of a cliff.

Su Ye's performance in the fourth quarter helped the Knicks to stabilize the situation. He is still the Knicks' scoring leader, and he is still the key to victory after scoring 4 points.

And there is another very big hero in this game. He is Jamal Crawford. He scored 22 points when he returned to the starting lineup. Facing the pressure, he showed his singles scoring ability.

As it turned out, Crawford was still the same Crawford.

You give him the right to shoot and let him attack with the ball, and he can still give you a certain basic output in a game.

Lanzi recovered tonight and scored 14 points on 8 of 19 shots. The main reason was that the big Z who was defending him was called out for pick-and-rolls many times, which made the big Z completely out of shape in the game.

Not everyone can have a stable output every game, and the height of Big Z is not impeccable.

Although they won the game, the Knicks players were not relaxed and could not relax.

After all, behind 1 to 2, they are still a passive side, and every next game is extremely important.
