I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 469

With such a huge disadvantage, the Heat had no way to resist in the fourth quarter.

The Knicks, who were in a hot state, attacked wave after wave, overwhelming everyone in the Heat.

When the final whistle sounded, all the fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The forum was completely blown up after the game.

Before this game, everyone thought it was a close battle.

No one expected that the Heat would face such a disastrous defeat in their first game.

On the stat sheet after the game.

105: 90.

The Knicks led by a full fifteen points, especially their explosion in the second half, which once extended the point difference to 20 points.

If the Knicks hadn't saved some face and not started in the starting lineup in the last three minutes, I'm afraid this game would have ended with a point difference of more than 20 points.

Su Ye's statistics in this game were 35 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, achieving a triple-double.

In the third quarter, he contributed 6 assists in a single quarter, becoming the engine of the Knicks' offense in the second half.

The person with the second highest statistics in the team turned out to be someone that no one expected.

Stephenson had 24 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

Stephenson and Su Ye cooperated to completely connect the entire team.

Fans have also noticed that Stephenson has successfully integrated into the Knicks' system in this year's playoffs.

Although 7 of his 5 assists were transfer passes, Stephenson has now become the team's second passer and can always appear in key positions.

Especially tonight, his efficient performance of 9 of 6 three-pointers directly caused the fans to shout Stephenson's name loudly after the game.

The person who subsequently contributed the most to the team was Randolph.

Randolph's outstanding performance of 18 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist became the team's most critical scoring point.

As for Deron and DeAndre Jordan, their mission tonight is not to attack anymore.

Deron had a perfect double-double with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists.

DeAndre Jordan dominated the basket with 10 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists.

In particular, Jordan contributed 6 blocks in this game, completely turning the Knicks' inside line into a no-fly zone in New York.

His contribution is also obvious to all.

Within a team, five people score in double figures, and this game is no longer that simple.

On the contrary, the Heat's record is somewhat disappointing.

At the end of the game, James scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Wade scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

Bosh had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.

Although it seems that James and Wade's scores are still normal, this is based on the two players taking a lot of shots.

In this game, the two of them together accounted for more than 70% of the team's shots, and Bosh was the worst.

Being ravaged and bullied in all kinds of ways in the paint, it was pretty good for him to score 9 points.

As expected, the fans directly launched a crusade against Bosh.

The TNT program team saw the popularity and immediately started the live broadcast.

The game between the Heat and the Knicks is obviously worthy of discussion.

Sure enough, after the program team started the live broadcast, a large number of fans poured into the live broadcast room to watch. At the same time, fans were also discussing heatedly in the NBA forum.

"The Knicks were so strong this year, they were won directly by the Heat."

"The Knicks are so strong? Why don't you say the Heat are weak? What's wrong with the Big Three!"

"That's right, the Heat are like weaklings, they can't do anything."

"The Heat are weak? It's just that the Heat didn't perform well. Why don't you watch the next game?"

"It's so funny. If Bosh hadn't stretched his crotch in a tough battle, what would have happened to the Knicks?"

The fans were noisy.

On the program set, Johnson also turned to ask Barkley next to him.

"Charles, what do you think of this game?"

Buckley frowned.

To be honest, he was very resistant to discussing the games between these two teams.

After all, if these two teams are provoked by either side, there will be nothing good to gain after the show.

After thinking for a moment, Buckley smiled wryly and shook his head.

"I don't know what to say. The Heat still need to adjust, but the Knicks are in really good shape."

"Especially Su Ye's performance."

Host Johnson frowned slightly when he saw Barkley avoiding the question, and turned his head to focus on O'Neal.

"Shaq? What do you think?"

"I think Bosh is really miserable."

This time, O'Neal was different from the past. He stared at the camera and did not hide his anger at all.

"Hi! Shiba!"

"If you're watching the show, I hope you can hear what I'm saying."

"You sacrificed Bosh too much and put him in a position he's not good at."

"This is equivalent to asking me, O'Neal, to open up space for the Heat!"

"Can I do this?"

"Do you think this is reasonable?"

"Spo! Change your stubborn thinking!"

"At least from my perspective, I don't want the game I see to be less than what I originally expected."

O'Neal started a new topic, and Barkley dared to participate.

Barkley looked at O'Neal's angry look and sighed with emotion from the side.

"I don't know what the Heat are thinking, allowing Bosh to challenge DeAndre Jordan."

"If I were Jordan, I might smile crookedly!"

"A player like Bosh faces two strong men in the paint. If you give him two arms, he can't get rebounds from these two men."

At this moment, many fans also sighed.

Bosh's sacrifice for the Heat in the last game was obvious to all.

But sacrificing Bosh is obviously not the solution.

Seeing that the direction of public opinion was not quite right, the experienced Johnson directly changed the subject.

"By the way, besides the Heat, are there any other games you are looking forward to?"

After hearing this, Buckley thought for a moment, and the three people in the studio started talking.

"Lakers? Mavericks?"

"I think the Thunder and Grizzlies are also good."

“The Eagles game was actually OK.”

In the outside world, a group of people had already begun to forward O'Neal's remarks to Spoelstra.

Coach Spoelstra’s Twitter did not respond.

And just like what everyone said.

In the second round of the finals, the other three series were also very exciting.

On one side is the suddenly rising Hawks, relying on four quasi-All-Star players in the team to fight against the Bulls, who are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

On the other side, the Grizzlies, who have created a black eight miracle this year, face the Thunder, a new force in the league.

But the team that everyone pays the most attention to is the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks.

After all, of these two teams, one was the runner-up last year and the other is a rising team this year.

Norvis is unbeatable independently, and the Lakers are even more galactic.

Sure enough, at the beginning of this game, they created the highest ratings in the playoffs this year.

Even higher than the Heat beating the Knicks.

After all, they just experienced a disastrous defeat by the Heat, and people are even more curious about whether the other three games will be upsets.

Suye's villa in New York.

Tonight, everyone from the Knicks is having a barbecue at his house and watching this year's playoffs together.

In front of the huge TV in the living room, Randolph leaned on the sofa and took two sips of cold beer, with a slight bitterness on his face.

"This calf is quite unlucky."

"After the first round, we will play the Lakers in the second round."

"It feels like they've come to an end."

Randolph's words indeed represent the thoughts of most fans.

Because no matter how you look at it, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to win this year's Lakers just relying on Nowitzki.

This year's Lakers have Kobe and Paul on the outside, Ron Artest and Bynum on the defensive end, and Dayao at center, plus the Sixth Man of the Year Lamar Odom on the bench.

The two teams are not at the same level this year.

But Deron frowned and talked to Randolph.

"I don't think so."

"The Mavericks should be able to fight back, but there's a good chance they'll be out."

"I'm curious how many games the Mavericks can win against the Lakers."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This year, no matter who it is, they all tacitly agree that one of the qualifications for the Western Conference Finals is the Lakers.

Even if the Lakers are trying to pull away, there will definitely be no problem reaching the Western Conference Finals.

As for the top half, both teams are new teams. If they enter the Western Conference Finals, based on the Lakers' past experience, there is no need to say much about the results.

At this moment, Stephenson suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Ye.

"Boss, do you think the Mavericks can win?"

Stephenson had a little hope in his eyes.

He also played against the Mavericks and Lakers this season.

But after the game, Stephenson felt more pressure to play against the Mavericks.

Although Kobe is very strong, it is not impossible to limit him.

As for players like Nowitzki, even if you want to restrict him, there is no way to restrict him.

All kinds of unsolvable golden rooster independence made Stephenson feel for the first time what it means to be suppressed by talent.

"I don't think so."

"Both teams are very strong, I can't tell who will win."

"I think the Mavericks have a chance of winning, but the Lakers have a high chance as well."

Su Ye stroked the wine glass with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

In my memory, at this stage of the 10-11 season, the Lakers were eliminated by the Mavericks in four games in the playoffs.

That year, the Lakers were also the strongest team in the league and a star-studded existence.

But no one expected that the Lakers would be taken away by the Mavericks in four games.

This year, although the Lakers must be missing Gasol from the original lineup, they have one more Yao.

At the same time, the emergence of Artest on the defensive end has also made the Lakers' overall defensive ability stronger.

But one thing cannot be changed.

That was that series, Kobe's efficiency was very low.

He averaged six three-pointers per game and shot a measly 22% from the field.

That year, the person with the highest three-point shooting percentage among the Lakers was Shannon Brown. You will know how bad the situation of the Lakers was that year.

But it’s not necessarily true. What if history changes slightly?

After all, there were not many people around Kobe to help him back then, and now that there are so many powerful enemies, the outcome may be different from usual.

When everyone in the Knicks heard Su Ye's speech, they all showed shocked expressions.

After all, outsiders predict that the Lakers' probability of reaching the Western Conference Finals in this series is as high as 75%.

The probability of entering the finals is a terrifying 90%.

The strength of the Lakers this year is unanimously recognized by the outside world.

Everyone also started watching the game with curiosity.

On TV, as soon as the game started, the Lakers won the jump ball.

The first game was the Lakers' home court, and all the Lakers were in high spirits.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe asked Paul directly for the ball, preparing to teach the Mavericks a lesson.

Sure enough, Kobe relied on his super-level performance to help the team win the crucial first attack.

But the good times didn't last long.

The effect of the Mavericks' all-hands defensive system soon became apparent.

The first quarter ended with 3 minutes left. From Kobe Bryant to Dayao, no one on the Lakers looked good.

They haven't scored for 4 minutes.

For this reason, the Zen masters have already called a pause to adjust, but the effect is still minimal.

On the contrary, the Lakers, who took the lead at the beginning, were tied by the Mavericks in the second half.

In the key matchup, Dayao defended Nowitzki.

The two faced off in the paint, and Dayao leaned against Nowitzki's body, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

Nowitzki also relied on Yao with his back, and did not dare to relax at all.

It can be said that Dayao's defense against Nowitzki is effective.

But the effect was minimal.

It is better to say that Nowitzki is in great shape this year, and Dayao has also begun to enter the state of the last years of his career.

If Yao is at the top, he will definitely be able to restrain Nowitzki very well.

But now that Yao has lost weight and is gradually moving closer to the outside, he only occasionally plays a guest role in the team's defense and offense.

There was an obvious gap immediately between the two people.

Nowitzki swayed and turned back.

Basketball hits steadily.

Although Dayao tried to interfere, Nowitzki's backward movement was too exaggerated and there was no way to cause effective interference.

The ball hit, and the Mavericks fans started celebrating.

You can no longer hear too many cheers from fans at the Lakers home court.

In the room, everyone in the Knicks looked solemn, and they were also talking among themselves.

"What's going on with the Lakers? Are they in bad shape?"

"Why do I feel that Mavericks is a little too strong?"

"Has Kobe never hit another three-pointer since the first three-pointer in the game?"

The Knicks, who were originally optimistic about the Lakers, did not expect that the Lakers would be dragged into a deadlock by the Mavericks.

At this moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Su Ye.

The same thought came to mind.

Will the boss's statement be fulfilled again?

Su Ye was optimistic about the game, and there was not a single mistake.

This time it was a one-sided game. After Su Ye concluded that the two teams were 50-50, the game actually became 50-50.

This makes everyone more curious about the Lakers' next performance.

Entering the second quarter, Master Zen directly changed his offensive strategy.

Yao was dropped, and Bynum and Odom were allowed to play at the same time. They changed from the previous positional battle to an onslaught tactic.

The effect of this change in tactics is very obvious.

Everyone on the Lakers launched an indiscriminate attack on the court, especially Kobe who directly released all his offensive firepower from the outside.

The Lakers have also been significantly more active in making money from secondary rebounds.

But the problem is that the Lakers' offense is already obvious, but the scores between the two sides are not far apart.

There is still a gap of up to six points and a minimum of two points.

Lakers fans, who were excited at first, soon realized something was wrong.

The commentators were all exclaiming.

"The Lakers' offense was very fierce tonight, but the Mavericks' shooting percentage was a little too high."

"Why do I feel like they rarely miss!"

At Su Ye's home.

Randolph couldn't help but turn on his phone and check the current data online.

Deron, Jordan and others also gathered around Randolph, preparing to see the truth.

After all, they were watching the game and felt that the Mavericks were doing whatever they wanted.

It is rare to miss consecutive offensive rounds. Basically, every two rounds, a goal can be hit stably.

This performance is so stable.

It’s better if everyone doesn’t watch.

I was shocked when I saw it.

In the second quarter, the Lakers only scored 22 goals in 11 attacks, and the team scored 22 points.

But the Mavericks scored a full 14 times in 10 attacks and scored 20 points.

The Lakers barely tied with the Mavericks when they had 8 more shots than the Mavericks.

As for the data on the field, everyone took a breath of air.

The Mavericks' team's outside three-point shooting percentage is as high as a terrifying 68%.

Especially Peja, who came on the scene in the second quarter, has taken three shots and hit two three-pointers.

As a veteran, he can still provide the Mavericks with stable three-point firepower.

The points scored by a basic team on the three-point line account for at least 40% of the team's points.

The team's shooting percentage remained at 68.7%.

Although the Lakers have a strong offense, they can't hold up the Mavericks' high shooting percentage.

The whole team was calm and steady, and they were two completely different teams from the Lakers.

This made the game very anxious in the second quarter, and the two sides could not widen the point difference at all.

As the game entered the third quarter and the Lakers' offensive efficiency was low, Kobe finally broke out.

Four consecutive two-pointers from the outside caused some changes in the scores of both sides.

But soon, Jason Terry's three-pointer brought the score back to the starting line.

On one side of the Lakers, Kobe's output was crazy.

On one side, the Mavericks, everyone worked together.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two sides remained at four points, with no way to open up.

In the fourth quarter of the game, it was obvious that the entire Mavericks team began to surround Nowitzki.

Sure enough, in the last two critical minutes, the game turned into a battle between Kobe and Nowitzki.

Two people, one for you and one for me, no one will let the other go.

But after all, Kobe felt sluggish for a while in this game.

Mavericks coach Carlisle seized this opportunity and called two timeouts in the last minute.

It was these two timeouts that made Kobe's hot touch gradually cool down.

Returning to the court again, facing the steady Mavericks, he was unable to create miracles.

The final whistle sounded.

94: 96.

The Mavericks ended the first game with a slim two-point advantage.

The data chart after the game shocked everyone.

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 36 points, Dayao scored 15 points, and Odom scored 15 points.

None of the other Lakers players scored in double figures.

It can be said that Kobe is alone.

And the data on the Mavericks.

Nowitzki had 28 points, Tyson Chandler had 11 points, Terry had 15 points, Marion had 10 points, and Peja had 10 points.

Five members of the team scored in double figures, and they all restricted the Lakers very well on the defensive end.

Especially in this game, the team shot 45% from three-point range, and at the same time, the 10 players played maintained an efficient total shooting rate of 49%.

This left a huge gap between the two teams.

At this moment Randolph's mentality collapsed.

"Can the Lakers lose?"
