Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

No one thought that in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat would be overturned at home.

It really was a "cold".

You know, before the start of the Eastern Conference finals, the media and experts' predictions for this round were either 4:0 or 4:1. Even if you like the Knicks' prediction, they only predicted 4:2.

Everyone thinks that the Knicks will be able to win one or two home games at most, and they will be eliminated by the Miami Heat, who are superior in strength and experience.

Who would have thought that after the first game, the Heat would overturn.

For a time, the entire basketball circle was a sensation, and some fans have even begun to re-examine this round of the Eastern Conference Finals.

"Is there a possibility that the Knicks are already very strong, take a break to grab the eighth, then black eight, and then enter the Eastern Conference Finals, these are all natural!"

"Isn't this nonsense, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but it's a bit far-fetched to say that the Knicks are stronger than the Heat. Anyway, I think the pure strength is at least one grade worse."

"But in G1 the Knicks won and won at home with the Heat.

"Isn't this normal, didn't the Heat also lose a game against the 76ers in the first round."

Of course, there are fans who are suddenly optimistic about the Knicks, and there are also fans who feel that the Heat's loss does not have much reference value.

Everyone makes sense. After all, in the playoffs, everything is unknown. It is not that which team is stronger, they will definitely win. 'Otherwise, there is no need to play in the playoffs. , the direct award of the championship is not over.

For the Heat, the loss of G1 undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for them!

To warn them that they don't pay enough attention to their opponents, and their preparations are not enough.

Obviously, the lack of preparation for war is a major problem for G1.

Even if the data group analyzed a lot of data, it did not pre-assess that the Knicks would use such a defensive strategy in the third quarter to completely suppress the wave that the Heat originally intended to blast.

And most of the time, they can drag the Heat into their rhythm. Obviously, this situation is fatal for the Heat.

Of course, this is not the player's problem, but the coaching staff's problem.

The coaching staff did not do a good job in preparation before the game or on the spot.

But then again, even in this case, the Heat only lost by 3 points in the end, which completely shows that the Heat's absolute strength is indeed one or two grades higher than that of the Knicks. They don't have to be nervous at all.

All that needs to be done now is for the coaching staff to find a set of stable play styles to deal with the Knicks in G1 during the two-day rest.

On the Knicks side, of course, they didn't slack off, because everyone knew that G1's victory came from a surprise attack on the opponent, and Bai Feng's stable waste at both ends of the offense and defense.

Even Anthony, who scored the highest score in the game, did not float away. He and the team were actively preparing for G2.

Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni didn't make too many adjustments, just encouraged the players to work hard and play their own style, just like G1.

Two days later, G2 came.

The Miami Heat's home court, American Airlines Arena, is still crowded and lively.

The Heat's loss in Game 1 did not discourage fans, who knew that what the team needed now was their more enthusiastic support.

That's why it's even more enthusiastic!

Even after hearing before the game that the Heat will all wear hairbands in this game, fans lost their hairbands.

In the NBA, hairbands serve a variety of different purposes.

At the beginning, the function of the headband was to prevent sweat from flowing into the eyes, thus affecting the state of the game.

Later, some stars wear headbands as a decoration, because headbands can usually hide the higher hairline.

Later, with the popularity of headbands, some teams began to regard wearing headbands as a kind of determination, a determination to win!

Over time, the headband culture has developed to this day, and there are still teams who use the whole team to wear headbands to encourage themselves when they need a victory!

Yes, the Heat do need a win!

And this victory is a must!

Just imagine, if they lose G2, they will go to New York with a big score of 0:2. Playing on the road is no better than playing at home. Although the Heat have a considerable advantage on paper, no one can say that they will meet in New York. what happened.

At this time, the Heat will be very passive!

Therefore, this game must not be lost, only won!

Even the best home court appearance ceremony is no longer magical music today. In order to adapt to the occasion, it has also been replaced with music with strong drums, which can better motivate morale!

After that, the Heat players filed in with hairbands, but when Wade and Bosh wore hairbands, they looked a bit funny, if it weren't for the embellishment of the victorious atmosphere.

The fans are sure to laugh out loud.

Another concern is that coach Spoelstra made a huge adjustment to the Heat's starting lineup for this game.

[Heat team starts]

Point Guard: Mario Chalmers

Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade

Small Forward: LeBron James

Power forward: Udonis Haslem

Center: Chris Bosh

Due to the loss of G1, after the post-match review and a series of tactical analysis from the coaching bench, the Heat decided to make a huge change in the lineup in G2.

The first is in the main point guard, they used the regular season often used Chalmers to replace the previous playoffs starting Mike Bibby.

Just because the Heat coaching staff found that Bie's playoff experience didn't seem to be of much use when facing Knicks point guard Bai Feng.

Bai Feng hardly made any mistakes in G1, and the exaggerated 0 turnovers made Bibby's rich experience a bit humiliating in front of him, because Bibby also had 2 turnovers.

With such a "steady" style of play, Bibby can't give Bai Feng any pressure on both the offensive end and the defensive end. Obviously, in this regard, the young Chalmers will be more aggressive.

In addition, although Chris Bosh's data in the last game was good, he did not get too much advantage in the matchup with Stoudemire. Instead, the Knicks were considered a weakness for center Turiaf, and Joel Anthony again doesn't punish this weakness well.

As a result, coach Spoelstra had an idea and decided to put Bosh in the center position, and he must punish the weaknesses of the Knicks field.

As a result, the position of the power forward will be sent to a fairly good Haslem.

This kind of evolution does not seem to affect the core of the frame with the Big Three, but in fact, the entire Heat team's play style will undergo huge changes.

But how it changes will depend on how the game will play.

[Knicks start]

Point Guard: Bai Feng

Shooting guard: JR Smith

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire

Center: Ronny Turiaf

The Knicks' roster hasn't changed at all, and they've used this roster throughout the playoffs, although the team that won the last game usually doesn't change its roster.

But there is one thing to say, even if the Knicks want to change the lineup, there is no suitable candidate.

Those little-known bench players are already quite weak, let alone the entire playoffs. In the regular season, this bench lineup is estimated to be at the bottom of the league.

They can't change if they want to.

Originally, the Knicks didn't even plan to enter the playoffs this season, so it doesn't matter, but since they have won all the way, and they have also reached the Eastern Conference Finals, in addition to the "Big Three" being really strong, luck also accounts for it. Great ingredient.

After all, as long as the Knicks' main force is slightly injured, it is really difficult for them to find someone who can make up for this starting lineup.

Players from both sides came to the center of the field, and Anthony, as the representative of the Knicks, took the initiative to approach and had a "friendly" exchange with his opponent before the game.

When he came to James, Anthony smiled and said: "Yo, LeBron, this headband is a bit handsome. . . . All of them are on. It seems that you are bound to win tonight.

Obviously, Anthony went up to "provocation". He won the ball last game, and of course he was happy.

To communicate in this way, it is not just a simple act of showing off, it is a psychological tactic before the game.

James also pretended to be relaxed and said: "When it comes to wearing a headband, you are still the most handsome, Mero.

In the NBA, James and Anthony are both fanatics of headbands, but their uses are different.

Seeing that James missed the plan, Anthony said again: "LeBron, after playing tonight, you can rest for three days. Are you still taking us to play?"

James smiled: "You can do it anytime, but you didn't go when I called you last time."

Obviously, in this round of psychological warfare, Anthony did not get anything cheap.

This is also reasonable. Originally, these two people were almost indistinguishable from small to big.

When the referee blew the whistle, the game began.

Chris Bosh scored the first offense for the home-run Heat.

The ball just passed the Heat's point guard Chalmers, and he didn't even move it, he gave it directly to James.

The identity of Chalmers' tool man is undoubtedly revealed.

James got the ball, and Bosh came directly to him to pick and roll.

When Anthony was blocked and Stoudemire didn't pounce, James didn't hesitate at all, pulled the ball back from the three-point line and took a long shot.

Swish!

hit!

0:3

He hit a three-pointer directly in the opening game, which caused a lot of excitement on the scene.

Obviously, today's James is no longer like G1, he does not attack himself at the beginning, and more is to assist teammates.

As soon as he came up tonight, he scored a three-pointer first, which undoubtedly shows that the Heat are about to open the game!

It is true that LeBron James is not a player who is good at shooting, especially in the long distance.

Early in his career, he really didn't shoot well.

However, with the growth of the Cavaliers in the past few years, James' shooting has made some progress every year. After adding up, his sometimes shooting has been quite accurate, but it is still not stable enough.

And tonight's opening three-pointer shows that he feels hot!

The Knicks attacked, Bai Feng dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and it was the same formula.

Anthony leaned on James in the low post and asked for the ball, Bai Feng decisively hung it to him, and was ready to single against James.

Letting Anthony singles is the Knicks' most accustomed way to start offense, just because it's simple and efficient.

In the last G1, Anthony hit James five goals in a row, which established an advantage for the Knicks from the beginning, and maintained this advantage until the end of the game.

Well, as soon as we come up tonight, there is no reason for Anthony not to fight, especially

Or in the case of James hitting a three-pointer, it must be played.

However, when Anthony was ready, the Heat's double team came. Chris Bosh at the basket decisively let go of his defending Turiaf and came directly to help James.

double-team.

Anthony wanted to find Turiaf's space for the first time, but the space inside was not wide enough. When he was not sure enough to pass the ball, he chose to return the ball to the outside.

Bai Feng of Correspondence.

Obviously, after the failure in G1, the Heat made a huge adjustment, and they are no longer the top on the defensive end [continue to use James one-on-one to face Anthony's singles.

From this point of view, the singles are both double-teamed, and the high probability is the defensive goal of the Heat in this game.

So, in this way, the test is the ability of the Knicks to move the ball.

Bai Feng took the ball, and Bosh had already stepped back, going back to his original defensive position.

It has to be said that the Heat's defense speed is quite fast, and Bai Feng did not find the opportunity to pass the vacancy at all.

But the Knicks are not completely unprepared for this. These changes on the Heat's court have been simulated before the game.

At this point, Stoudemire had come to the pick-and-roll position. After Bai Feng blocked Chalmers, Stoudemire immediately went in.

The Heat's defense was all attracted by Stoudemire. Bai Feng got the space to shoot at this moment. He didn't hesitate to throw a three-pointer with his hand, and he also scored!

3:3

"Ding, Offensive Pick: Good. Shooting Pick: Good. Gain: Solid Value +4, USD +400."

After the opening, both sides scored three-pointers. It seems that everyone is online, so this match is destined to not be too dull.

The Heat attacked. After Chalmers dribbled the ball through the frontcourt, he still gave the ball to James. This time, James directly let Bosh get stuck in the interior and gave the ball to Bosh.

hands.

After Bosh took the ball and carried Turiaf hard, he took a close-range shot with a slight back and hit!

3:5

The audience cheered again.

Even the sidelines of the Heat coach Spoelstra, is also applauding for Bosh.

He took Bosh from No. 4 to No. 5, so he wanted Bosh to play a corresponding matchup advantage.

Obviously, in the Knicks array, Turiaf at No. 5 is their weakest point, so, if there is such a point, it must be targeted.

In the Knicks round, after Bai Feng dribbled the ball past the frontcourt, he formed a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire again. Even if Bai Feng made a three-pointer in the last round, he faced the same pick-and-roll this round.

The Heat's pick-and-roll option is still to focus on preventing Stoudemire's move, rather than delaying Bai Feng.

Then Bai Feng is welcome, given the chance, he will definitely shoot.

Swish!

Another three-pointer hit!

6:5

After scoring this goal, Bai Feng also understood the Heat's defensive strategy today, which is to kill Cha Anthony and Stoudemire, thus selectively letting go of other points.

Bai Feng is familiar with this plot!

In the first round of the playoffs, the Bulls played G1, and the Bulls also followed this defensive strategy.

Anthony double-teamed when he got the ball, and Stoudemire stared at him in the pick-and-roll.

In that game, Bai Feng shocked the entire league with 57 points and 11 assists.

And led the team to win the Bulls.

Tonight's Heat team seems to be the same defensive strategy.

Could it be that they didn't learn the lessons of the Bulls?

No matter what the opponent thinks, for Bai Feng, as long as he is given a chance to shoot, he will never be soft-hearted.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Bulls, Spoel, watched this scene, still as steady as a mountain, and he even chatted with the assistant coach leisurely: "Bai Feng, this guy is feeling good tonight.

Well.

"Yeah, Coach Spoel, do we really let him go?"

Spoel smiled: "It's okay, everything is under control, we are not the Bulls!".
