I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 466

Yu Jia on the side nodded repeatedly.

"Teacher Zhang Weiping is right."

As soon as these two old combinations got together, the surrounding fans also felt a familiar smell.

When one of them made a speech, Yu Jia was responsible for saying, "Teacher Zhang Weiping is right."

But what fans care more about is the game.

The match is ready and both sides are ready to fight.

As the team's center, Bosh stared directly at DeAndre Jordan.

The two starting centers' eyes met, and the referee's whistle sounded instantly.

The next second, the two people pulled up on the spot and went straight into the sky.

However, Jordan is still slightly better after all, with his excellent wingspan and terrifying jumping ability.

Jordan just put the basketball behind Bosh on his head.

Deron stepped forward and directly took possession of the offensive ball.

In the studio, teacher Zhang Weiping followed the old practice and introduced the composition of the two teams.

"The Knicks' starting lineup tonight can be considered their official lineup for the second half of the regular season."

"Deron, Su Ye, Stephenson, Randolph, DeAndre Jordan."

"This lineup system can be said to be the key to the Knicks' 9-game winning streak in the second half of the regular season."

"We have to lament the Knicks' investment this year. With the 30th pick in the draft, they found Stephenson's immediate ability."

"In just six months, we have seen a player who was not very hot on the court now be able to start the team."

"I'm looking forward to Stephenson's performance tonight and hope he can bring us more laughter."

The fans were also very excited.

Ever since Stephenson became the Knicks' starter after the All-Star Game, his popularity has gradually increased in the NBA.

If it weren't for this guy being too abnormal sometimes, a group of fans would have to put him on the All-Star roster next year.

However, Teacher Zhang Weiping soon changed the subject, and his tone became more serious.

"Tonight, the team we need to pay most attention to is the Heat."

"The difference from the early part of the regular season is that the Heat also changed the entire lineup after the All-Star Game."

"Challmers will serve as the team's starting point guard, Wade will serve as the shooting guard, James will move from small forward to power forward, and Jones will replace James at the third position."

"With this system, James will move to the inside position, and tonight we may rarely see the matchup between Su Ye and James."

"And the Heat's rotation number was reduced to eight entering the playoffs, and the team replaced Bosh with Joel Anthony to survive the substitution time."

"It can be said that the Knicks are playing against a brand new Heat tonight. The Knicks must not take it lightly."

Teacher Zhang Weiping's introduction also made many fans' hearts pick up in their throats.

It has to be said that the Heat changed their lineup after the All-Star Game.

Relying on the mobility of James and Bosh, most teams in the league were caught off guard.

This highly mobile lineup allows the Heat to position their offensive tactics two to three seconds faster than other teams.

It is these two or three crucial seconds that are enough for the Heat's two core players, Wade and James, to launch an attack on the inside.

high speed.

This is a key point for the Heat.

It is completely different from the Heat who were stuck in position and fouled inside at the beginning of the season.

The Heat are now more competitive than they were then. This is why most media believe that the Heat, who have repeatedly lost to the Knicks in the regular season, have the ability to overthrow the Knicks in the playoffs.

But the Knicks' situation on the court is a bit pessimistic.

Deron held the basketball and looked at Wade who was marking him, his brows furrowed.

He also spent a lot of time looking at how the new Heat would play before the game.

But he never expected that the Heat's strategy today was to mark him and defend Su Ye.

The person defending Su Ye now is James Jones of the Heat.

This guy's defensive ability in the league is not very strong. He is just a shooter for the team, helping the team open up space.

Let him guard Su Ye, and the result can be imagined.

Deron moved sideways to protect the ball and dribbled twice, then actively spat trash talk at Wade.

"You just let Su Ye go like this, do you really not want to win?"

Wade raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.

"You can try."

When Deron started dribbling again, Wade got close to him and didn't give Deron any room to dribble.

This shocked Delong.

Once you are stuck by your opponent, protecting the ball becomes the focus.

Locked up by Wade, he had no chance to continue playing for Su Ye.

This makes it impossible to take advantage of Su Ye's matchup.

Only at this moment did Deron realize how cruel Coach Spoelstra was.

Let Wade seal his position and deny Su Ye a chance to play.

It can be said that with the first ball in the opening game, the Knicks completely fell into the trap designed by the Heat.

Su Ye also felt that Delong was in danger and wanted to help Delong from the flank.

But James Jones worked hard to stay close to him, and at the same time, James on the inside also deliberately moved some steps towards him.

Su Ye can be 100% sure.

As long as he goes to Deron to catch the ball, he will definitely encounter subsequent interference from James.

As soon as the Heat opened the game, they brought a high-intensity matchup to the Knicks.

At this moment, Randolph on the inside suddenly raised his hand behind James.

Deron quickly locked his eyes on Randolph's position, and then threw the ball high.

After Randolph squeezed James away, he received Deron's lob pass inside.

Then he caught the ball and faced Bosh directly under the basket.

Bosh saw that he had become the last blockade in the Heat's penalty area, and he tried his best to block Randolph's offense.

However, Randolph frowned, and the flesh on his face was shaking wildly as the muscles in his body exerted force.

The next second, Randolph used his strong body to slam into Bosh.

Bosh groaned under the basket.

By the time he recovered from the violent impact, Randolph, who had always been on the ground, had already completed a small hook with his right hand.

For a floor-flowing player like Randolph.

It can be said that it is a basic skill to attack the opponent instantly.

Bosh obviously suffered a loss in strength. Just as his front foot was destroyed by Randolph, Randolph scored two points on his head with his back foot.

After seeing the Knicks get a good start, the fans cheered excitedly.

However, Delong frowned, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and complained to Su Ye.

"It's not easy, the Heat are here today."

Su Ye, who was standing in his own half court, put his hands on his hips and looked at Wade who was dribbling the ball in the distance.

"This will happen in a while."

"Isn't Wade watching you?"

"I come."

"I'll dribble the ball halfway."

"Follow the coach's instructions first, and adapt accordingly later."

Deron nodded sharply after hearing this.

The Knicks' strategy tonight is very simple.

All the tactics prepared by Prosser can be summarized in one sentence.

Play inside.

Whether it is Su Ye or Stephenson, their scoring efficiency inside is much greater than that on the outside.

At the same time, the Knicks have two heavyweight insiders in Randolph and DeAndre Jordan.

Bosh alone can't limit the weight of these two.

For the Heat tonight, their weakest point is the inside line.

On the contrary, the distance from the Heat's three-point line to the free throw line is the team's best defensive position.

The Heat, which has completed its transformation after the All-Star break, scored 45% of their total points on fast breaks.

As long as the Knicks' shooting percentage is high enough tonight, the Heat will have no way to rely on quick offense and defense transitions to score.

In other words, the Knicks can use offense to suppress the Heat's offense and contain the performance of Wade and James.

After all, if these two people start running in the league, their lethality in the penalty area will be at any level of interruption.

Wait until it's the Heat's turn to attack.

Compared with the previous Heat, the current Heat are obviously better integrated and the team is more stable.

Wade, who was holding the ball on the outside, did not call to get inside, but waited for Chalmers and James Jones to complete their position.

The person guarding Wade tonight is Stephenson.

If Stephenson wants to liberate Su Ye's position, he must keep an eye on Wade.

Given the opportunity to perform, Stephenson was also extremely excited.

Wade looked at Stephenson, who was constantly having fun with him, with a bit more worry in his eyes.

This kid can't be crazy.

Why do you see me giggling all the time.

However, the Heat's current focus is on scoring, and Wade is too lazy to pay attention to the nervous Stephenson.

In the previous match, it was this fool who killed James, causing their team to lose the game.

Wade will naturally not take Stephenson lightly.

He suddenly blasted the ball with his right hand, then quickly passed Wade in one step.

Even Knicks fans were stunned by passing Stephenson so easily.

Defend!

Where is Stephenson's defense?

Stephenson, who had just clearly slipped away, came back to his senses.

"groove!"

After being passed by, he fought hard to catch up.

However, he faced Wade, a veteran who has been in the league for so long.

Of course Wade knew Stephenson was chasing him.

Facing the basket, Jordan was trying to block himself.

Wade immediately slowed down and stopped, drew his bow and shot an arrow, and played a throwing game.

The subtlety of this floater is that it is far beyond the range of Jordan's defense.

Not only that, Stephenson, who was chasing him from behind, also failed to stop and bumped into Wade.

And Wade had already taken action before that.

Wade, who was knocked away, staggered a few steps, and when he heard the whistle from the sideline, a bright smile broke out on his face.

In an instant, the fandom was completely blown away.

"Fuck! D Wade!!!"

"This is the Flash, the offense is too sharp!"

"Is the start going to be 2+1?"

"I have to be good, the Knicks have to let Su Ye defend Wade!"

At the same time, in the studio, teacher Zhang Weiping was also commenting.

"Stephenson is too young. Wade really made a foul."

Yu Jia on the side also frowned and sighed with a wry smile.

"That's the experience gap."

"Stephenson didn't have this experience, so he didn't expect Wade to use a floater at all."

"This 2+1 is a bit hurtful."

Stephenson was also stunned.

He didn't expect Wade to score like this.

After witnessing Wade hitting a free throw and the Heat completing the lead, Stephenson's expression became a little disappointed.

Su Ye looked at his little brother, whose emotions were written all over his face, and patted him on the shoulder in confusion.

"Okay, don't think so much, it's just one goal."

Stephenson nodded silently.

But with Su Ye cheering him on, the guy's eyes once again glowed with blazing fire.

Go to the next round.

Su Ye took the initiative to carry the ball and walk through half the court.

The Heat are obviously on guard against this.

They asked Jones to retreat to the back and let Su Ye make long three-pointers, thereby reducing the number of Su Ye's mid-range shots.

Su Ye was stunned when he saw his teammates taking up positions.

Do you really want to let me go?

He dribbled the ball twice on the outside, pretending to break through.

When Jones saw this, he felt like he was facing an enemy.

He knew that he couldn't guard Su Ye on his own, and the team gave him such an important task.

This puts Jones under tremendous pressure as soon as he takes the field.

Faced with Su Ye's attempt to pretend to break through while dribbling, Jones panicked and frequently moved his feet.

When he panicked, Su Ye didn't give him any face and directly shot a three-pointer.

The three-pointer shot through the basket accurately.

Jones was a little discouraged as he looked at the basket, but Wade stepped forward to encourage his teammates.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Next time, defend more forward."

"Don't worry if he passes you by. If he passes, he will pass. No one will blame you."

The commentary box also exclaimed when they saw the Heat let go of Su Ye's three-pointer.

"It's so cool!"

"This is Su Ye!"

"Su Ye dared to shoot three-pointers. Do you really know that Su Ye made 10 of 6 three-pointers?"

"The Heat's news is a bit blocked."

When Spoelstra saw Jones standing too far back on the sidelines, he also got a dark look.

He knew that it would be difficult to entrust Jones with such an arduous task, but he did not expect that the other party would be timid just facing off against Su Ye.

But fortunately, Coach Spoelstra is also someone who has experienced a lot of storms.

This ball was not enough for him to break the defense.

As the game progresses.

The duel between the two teams has become increasingly fierce.

First, the Knicks. Except for Su Ye's opening three-pointer in this game, they basically kept trying to hit the inside.

Very efficient.

In just the first four minutes, the Knicks scored a full 10 points.

On the contrary, the Heat are still adjusting to Su Ye's tactics, and the offense has reached a deadlock.

After only scoring 6 points in four minutes, Coach Spoelstra called the first timeout of the game.

After adjustments, there was a running three-point tactic on the field. James Jones, the new three-point king, immediately showed his accuracy from the outside.

The three-point shot helped the team shorten the point difference to 1 point.

In the next round, he used his threat from outside the three-point line to force the Knicks to cover up, thus creating an opportunity for James to cut inside for two points.

The Heat successfully overtook the score.

But at this moment on the bench, Coach Prosser was not panicked at all.

He looked at the Knicks running on the court, and he was full of confidence in this game.

The Heat's new roster has glaring flaws.

Not high enough, not fast enough.

Chalmers' defense on the outside is average and can only provide three points.

Whether he was facing Su Ye or Stephenson, he suffered a disadvantage.

And James Jones's pace is not fast enough. He can't defend the outside line and can't make up for it inside.

It can be said that the Heat rely on the athletic abilities of Wade, James, and Bosh.

But James and Bosh moved inside, causing the Heat to have problems inside.

It is impossible for James to spend hard money with a player like Randolph.

As for the center forward, he can only withstand it, but he can't cause too much interference.

But in the matchup between Randolph and Bosh, Randolph once again had the advantage in strength.

This leaves the Heat with a problem.

If Bosh goes to play against DeAndre Jordan, then who will James play against?

There is no doubt that in this game, Bosh has to take on the important task of defending one against two at the basket, while also protecting the rebound in front of these two people.

It can be said that Bosh took on the Heat's many tasks tonight.

On the other side, Randolph's position in the Knicks is mainly to score inside and maintain the point difference in the second half.

Players like Randolph are afraid of meat shield centers like Perkins, Yao Ming, and Shaq.

Players that Randolph couldn't handle with his brute force.

But against a player like Bosh who is flexible and lighter, Randolph basically beat the opponent, even Duncan.

He is a natural at this type of player.

Prosser was in no rush.

Although the Knicks can't open up the points difference now, the Heat cannot maintain a high level of concentration throughout the game.

Sure enough, after the Heat missed an offense, Jordan took the rebound off Bosh's head.

Jordan turned around and threw the ball to Deron in the frontcourt.

Seeing the team's opportunity for a fast break, Stephenson and Su Ye supported from the side and drove straight to the basket.

James, who is under the basket, doesn't know whether to guard the left or the right.

In the end, he judged based on experience that the Knicks would definitely let Su Ye, who is better at finishing, complete the final attack.

Obviously James made the wrong bet.

Stephenson received a pass from Deron and easily completed a layup.

After a successful layup, this guy leisurely celebrated by playing the air guitar in front of James.

There were deafening cheers from the entire audience.

James gritted his teeth looking at Stephenson, who had blown his own eye and caused the team to lose.

But there is no way.

The Knicks played the ball beautifully.

The entire Heat team didn't pay much attention to this usual fast break.

But this fast break became the Knicks' offensive clarion call.

In the next round, Su Ye directly used Randolph's pick-and-roll to get to the basket.

Facing Bosh's defense, Su Ye took off without mercy and directly completed the positive discount.

Bosh, who was buckled, pushed back two steps and almost fell to the ground.

But this is just the beginning.

In the next round, Jordan, who was under the basket, received an alley-oop pass from Deron and completed another dunk directly on Bosh.

The unlucky Bosh successfully created the only tragic record in this playoffs of being dunked in two consecutive rounds.

Bosh was also feeling miserable.

I have Randolph on my left hand and DeAndre Jordan on my right hand.

There is also Su Ye on the front.

These three strong men took turns ravaging their inside line.

Not to mention that there is a little devil like Stephens on the outside, who wants to give himself a try from time to time.
