Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

For non-Heat loyal fans, after watching the game between the Heat and the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals G1, they couldn't help but ask all kinds of questions.

"How does the Knicks' quasi-big three feel stronger than the Heat's big three, completely suppressing the Heat on the road?"

"It seems that the Knicks can make it into the East by no means by accident. Their All-Star team is also very good, but why is everyone not optimistic about the Knicks?"

"Hey, yea, the Lakers are too hot. Thanks to me supporting him so much, I didn't expect to be swept by a team like the Mavericks. It's a shame, and I've lost my fans from now on... Why is this year's playoffs so unpopular? A lot, it seems that the Heat can't beat the Knicks?"

Clearly, the Lakers and Celtics have amassed huge fans over the past few seasons, and now that the playoffs have reached the conference finals, the two teams that have dominated the league for three years have both been eliminated. eliminated.

Fans have realized that times have changed, and they are not loyal fans for decades, and they also plan to re-select the camp to join.

The Heat, which owns the Big Three, has become the biggest destination for a large number of "locusts".

Of course, the Knicks are also a good choice!

Although most experts and media are not optimistic about the Knicks this season, but for the future of the Knicks, that is another evaluation!

After all, during Bai Feng's rookie contract, the Knicks still have at least three years of sufficient salary space to introduce another All-Star player, so the future ceiling of this team may be higher than that of the Heat.

Coupled with the popularity of Bai Feng this year, and the not-so-low popularity of Stoudemire and Anthony, the Knicks also flocked to a large number of fans.

******

It can be said that the fans during the division finals were basically divided by these two teams. As for the Mavericks and Thunder next door, sorry, who knows? Who cares?

The first half of the second quarter of the Eastern Finals G1 is the time for the two teams to rotate their lineups.

On paper, the Heat's bench lineup is better than the Knicks.

After all, they have some decent players such as Chalmers, Haslem and Mike Miller, which are naturally better than the benches that the Knicks have never heard of.

Then at home, the Heat's rotation did gain some advantages, but not much.

When the two sides switched back to the main lineup, the Knicks had a 1-point lead.

Next, the Heat fans thought that James and Wade were going to explode, but the rhythm of the game was exactly the same as the first quarter!

Anthony is in a hot state tonight, and he is on the spot list to beat James. Even if James defends in place, Anthony can just score, which is quite unreasonable!

The occasional high pick-and-rolls by Bai Feng and Stoudemire can also directly kill the Heat.

After the first half, the Knicks led by 6 points at 54:48.

Among them, Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points alone, while LeBron James only made 3 of 8 shots in the first half and scored 6 points. The assists were not bad, and he gave 5.

It is true that both of them are top ten or even top five players on the scoring list.

But the result of the direct confrontation in the first half of the Eastern Finals series is still a bit surprising.

After all, LeBron James is the second-leading scorer in the regular season, second only to Kevin Durant.

With 6 points in the half, it is better to say that he is invisible rather than having a bad hand.

After all, as a team's top scorer, only 8 shots in the half, which is really not much.

Although some fans are extremely worried about the Heat, in fact, the Heat players are not in a hurry at all.

At halftime, in the Heat's locker room, James and Wade were talking and laughing, as if right and not giving them any pressure.

In fact, they did think so. In the first half, the entire Heat team also exerted their strength for a while with Wade and Bosh. Wade scored 15 points and Bosh scored 12 points.

On the other hand, in the Knicks locker room, the atmosphere is just as relaxed.

It is true that for the Knicks, the Heat are an extremely formidable opponent, and of course they are ready to be abused on the road.

However, the situation was much better than they expected. Not only did they take the lead in the first half, but as the Knicks' offensive arrow in the first half, Carmelo Anthony felt hot.

Hit consecutive singles and scored 20 points!

Most importantly, it was cut on the head of his longtime nemesis, LeBron James.

At this time, Anthony's mood was high. After coach D'Antoni arranged the tactics for the second half, he even hummed the rhythm and started to jump.

Anthony saw that his teammates were also very relaxed, except for Bai Feng, who was a little strange, came to Bai Feng and said, "Brother Bai Feng, why do you look so nervous, don't worry at all, I will continue to beat up in the second half. Their.

Confidence is a good thing, but Bai Feng could feel the Heat's lack of effort in the first half.

That's right, with Bai Feng's insight, he can indeed feel this.

The Heat played basically the same as the regular season in the first half, they only played their own tactics, and James rarely went to the basket on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, even though Anthony feels so hot, the Heat are still only single defense, without any intention of assisting defense or double-teaming.

This kind of treatment is far from the first round of the Bulls.

Is it that the Heat can't defend? Or are they taking the Knicks too lightly?

Obviously, these are not the answers.

Then, there is only one possibility, that is, the Heat are retaining their strength.

Of course Bai Feng knew how the Heat played, and the scenes he was afraid of did not appear in the first half.

Then, in the second half, with the increase in the number of fouls by the Knicks players and the decline in physical fitness, perhaps, the outbreak of the Heat will come.

Therefore, Bai Feng did not feel as relaxed as his teammates, instead he was very vigilant.

Regarding Anthony's words, Bai Feng shook his head and said, "Cameron, we have to be careful in the second half. They were trying to preserve their strength in the first half. In the third quarter, they will definitely launch a slasher."

Anthony wanted to say something at first, but he seemed to think of something again, so he nodded and said thoughtfully: "Well, it is indeed possible, that old boy LeBron, always feels that he is fishing in the first half, That's not his style."

Soon, the second half of the game began, and the starters of both sides returned to the court.

Most of the Heat fans on the scene were not worried about their team, just because they could see that the Heat were out of shape or ready to go.

Obviously, the situation today is definitely the latter.

American Airlines Arena is still very hot.

Soon, it turned out that they were right.

The Heat's powerful attack came silently!

LeBron James issued a card to Bosh who mentioned the penalty area on the outside, and then he suddenly started, a lunge cut, and diagonally inserted into the basket.

Carmelo Anthony didn't expect it, and when he was shocked, he couldn't keep up, so he could only watch James violently abuse the frame.

There was cheers again.

As soon as he came up, James reversed the "salted fish" state in the first half, and used a violent dunk after the rampage to sound the horn of the Heat's counterattack!

When the Knicks attacked, Anthony still had to go to the position to prepare for singles, but this time, LeBron James gave him a very strong confrontation.

After some unsuccessful attempts to get rid of Anthony, he chose to open the space and then shot from the middle distance, hitting the iron.

After Bosh grabbed the rebound, the Heat looked in front of him and immediately found Wade who was already under fast with a long pass.

The whole action is smooth and smooth, and it only happens in about 1 second.

Seeing such a scene, the fans at the scene couldn't help cheering: "Wow, here we come, our super counterattack is here!"

When facing other teams in the past, the Heat's most deadly weapon was to launch a rapid counterattack across the entire court when the opponent failed to attack, or when the attack was successful, but the defense was not timely!

With Wade and James, two superstars with excellent sprinting ability and excellent finishing ability, the success rate of this speedy counterattack is extremely high!

However, just when the Heat fans at the scene felt that Wade must have completed the quick counterattack and dunks as easily as usual, they were surprised to find that in front of Wade, there was a player whose defense was in place.

That's right, it's Bai Feng!

Such a situation, so that the fans of the Heat did not expect (bcde).

In their experience of watching the game at home this year, generally speaking, when the Heat launch such a long counterattack, it must be a smooth road ahead!

No one can keep up with the speed of Flash Wade's all-out counterattack!

However, tonight, when the Heat played this exciting super counterattack for the first time, the opponent's defense turned out to be online!

What is even more unexpected is that the Knicks' retreat is not only able to maintain the state of chasing defense, but the curved pillow has fallen to the core defensive area in the penalty area.

In an instant, the fans of the Heat were shocked.

"I'm going, why is the other party so fast?"

"It's impossible, unless he wasn't involved in the offense at all!"

"The speed of the defense is too exaggerated, I didn't see when he came back.

Not only did the fans think so, but Wade himself thought it was wrong at first.

A good dunk attack and a big counterattack, but an opponent's defender is standing under the basket?!

And still stand in the most central defensive area.

Wade, who often fast-breaks, certainly understands that the defensive position basically blocks the possibility of him directly hitting the rim for dunks.

Because of the tough meeting, you will definitely be called for hitting someone with the ball.

Of course, he has other strong attack methods, such as the European step for layup, or slowing down after getting to the basket, and using confrontation to make a layup.

But no matter which one it is, it obviously doesn't have the taste of the Heat's typical super-speed counterattack.

But the counterattack has reached this point, and Wade has no reason to stop. He just paused a little, then accelerated to the basket again, and wanted to use a European step to shake off the center of gravity of the defense and then go for an easy layup.

Unexpectedly, when he was just approaching the area, the opponent suddenly jumped up and cut the basketball in his hand accurately and sharply at the moment of his European step!

"Ding, Defensive Pick: Excellent, Steal Pick: Excellent. Gain: Solid +8, $±800."

A scene that shocked all Heat fans appeared!

Flash Wade's fast break was cut off by his opponent!

Such a bizarre scene, they haven't seen it once all season!

The fans of the Heat have their heads in their hands, some cover their mouths, and some have their eyes wide open. …

"This... how is it possible that the Flash was intercepted on a fast break? This is so fake!"

"Isn't it, is that Asian rookie on the other side so fierce? It cut Wade all at once.

"This is too exaggerated, we are invincible fast

The quick counterattack failed?"

In fact, even Wade himself did not think it would be such a situation.

In other words, when he got the ball in a high-speed counterattack and saw a defender under the opponent's basket, he was a little confused.

Because a situation that had almost never happened before appeared in front of him.

After hesitating for a while, Wade didn't think much, and continued to accelerate the attack. He thought that the opponent would definitely stand at the basket to create his dribbling and hitting.

The best way to deal with this kind of defense is obviously to use the Eurostep to mislead the defender's position, and then swing him off to score.

However, what Wade did not expect was that the defender was not at all like he imagined, waiting for him to foul in the core area, but was aggressive, and when the two sides approached

, resorting to a probing action.

Wade didn't think about this move at all, so he was chipped.

It can be said that Wade is completely careless, of course, it can also be said that he did not fully respond to this completely unexpected situation.

In short, Bai Feng completed a very beautiful single defense steal.

After the steal, Bai Feng quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Since Wade had not been able to come back in time, the Knicks formed a short five-on-four.

Bai Feng didn't waste time. After Mike Bibby came up, Bai Feng decisively passed the ball to JR Smith, who was vacated. After receiving the ball, Bai Feng made a mid-range shot.

"Ding, Offensive Choice: Good, Passing Choice: Excellent. Gain: Solid Value +5, USD +500."

Obviously, JR Smith belonged to Wade. The Heat suddenly lost the ball in the rhythm of the team's fast break and counterattack. Naturally, it was difficult to organize a defensive formation immediately and be able to find their own way.

Your own defender is already good.

And Wade can not retreat at this time, naturally missed JR Smith.

After JR scored, he gave Bai Feng a very happy thumbs up!

That's right, what Bai Feng did was to make up for Smith.

In this game, Wade was JR's main defense. Under his main defense, Wade scored 15 points in the first half, which made him very uncomfortable.

In the round just now, because JR's offense-defense transformation was not very good at man-marking, he didn't think of retreating until his own shot missed and the opponent got the ball.

But at this time Wade has already started, he is completely unable to catch up.

It stands to reason that if Wade scored this fast break, it must be his fault again.

But because of Bai Feng's existence, his pot not only disappeared, but when he turned around, he also assisted him with an open shot, which directly let JR make up for it.

During this time and again, Wade was embarrassed. It was originally his fast break scoring round, but because of Bai Feng, he turned out to be a defensive leaker?!

At this time, Wade, who was standing in the middle circle, was chewing gum and looked at Bai Feng, who had retreated in place again, with a serious face.

Obviously, the Flash realized at this time that he still underestimated the Asian rookie of the Knicks.

At this time, the big screen on the scene also returned to guard against the slow motion of the scene just now.

Fans all looked up to find out, to see why the Knicks defense was so timely.

The director of the scene is obviously very clear about the fans' thoughts. The whole slow motion starts when Anthony singles James and shoots the ball together.

At that time, Bai Feng had already started to retreat!

In this way, the fans of the Heat have finally found the truth.

"This sense of retreating defense is too exaggerated. Their offense has not yet finished, and it has begun?"

"The defensive awareness of this defender is really good. It seems that he has done his homework."

"I know the player Bai Feng, and many professional commentators have analyzed him to be 'stable', and it seems, that's true.
