Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

[Knicks starting]

Point Guard: Jeremy Lin

Shooting Guard: Bai Feng

Small Forward: Landry Fields

Power Forward: Jared Jeffries

Center: Tyson Chandler

Compared with the Heat's wonderful "five small" lineup, the Knicks' starting lineup is very traditional. This lineup almost runs through the second half of the season and the playoffs.

Of course, the Knicks want to change the starting lineup, and the conditions are not allowed. After all, they have too many injured players, and it is not easy to get together a reasonable rotation.

The two sides stood still in the middle circle, and the game was about to start.

With the whistle of the referee, the game began!

Tyson Chandler gets possession of the first possession for the Knicks on the road!

His height and wingspan have great advantages over Haslem, and it is reasonable to win the jump ball.

The Knicks took the lead in attacking, and Jeremy Lin took the ball to the frontcourt.

For the Heat, it was their perimeter defender Sean Battier who was in charge of marking Bai Feng.

Battier has the same size as Bai Feng's 12, and his defensive awareness is very top-notch. He is one of the best 3D players in this league. The only shortcoming is that he is a bit older. Naturally, there are deficiencies in speed and mobility, but this is not fatal. Excellent defensive players can often make up for it with experience.

Bai Feng is not in a hurry. Before the game, he has observed the Heat's somewhat weird starting lineup, and has already discussed with his teammates how to play.

At this time, according to the plan, after Jeffries came to screen Bai Feng without the ball, Bai Feng relied on the screen and ran out of position. After receiving a timely pass from Jeremy Lin, he directly accelerated and rushed to the basket.

After seeing that Haslem, who was guarding the Heat's basket, moved a little bit and wanted to come up to defend, Bai Feng decisively threw the ball to the basket.

There, Tyson Chandler leaps high and makes an easy alley-oop!

"Ding, attack selection: excellent. Pass selection: excellent. Gain: robustness +8, USD +800."

2:0

The Knicks in the away game took the lead, and the score looked very easy.

In fact, this all comes from Bai Feng's interpretation and dismantling of the Heat's defense!

Obviously, the Heat's small lineup is to make use of their advantages of fast offense, strong breakthrough and three-pointers through faster-paced offensive and defensive transformation.

It has to be said that this style of play is quite advanced, and it is completely different from the slow and fast uncomfortable style of play of the Heat last season.

However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Playing a small lineup, the height and dominance at the basket will inevitably be insufficient.

Therefore, Bai Feng only used an off-ball screen to run back to the basket. Once successful, the Heat's inside line will face a dilemma.

Either watch Bai Feng score a layup, or let go of the defender under the basket.

Haslem has a disadvantage compared to Chandler's own height, but as long as he is distracted and Bai Feng throws the ball to the basket, Haslem can only sigh.

The truth is such a truth.

And after passing the ball, Bai Feng retreated directly without even looking at whether he scored or not.

He even told Jeremy Lin and Fields again before the game that the Heat, playing this lineup, must retreat in advance!

Obviously, James and Wade have a super fast down ability, and their "Janeway connection" has made other opponents in the league frightened as early as last season.

Impossible not to guard against.

In the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat last season, Bai Feng's main theme on the defensive end was to retreat quickly to prevent the Heat's quick counterattack.

Naturally, it is impossible for Bai Feng to forget this characteristic of them!

The Heat took the round, seeing that there was no fast break opportunity, they were not in a hurry.

Then simply play steadily, after Chalmers dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, hand it over to James.

Then, the Heat's four outside players all opened up on the three-point line.

Haslem from inside came out and set a pick and roll for James, and James broke through with the ball!

In this regard, the Knicks' defensive players know that James' breakthrough is extremely domineering and cannot let him rush up, but Chandler dare not defend too far, so the basket will be empty.

When James was about to start accelerating the impact, Fields immediately came to help defend, trying to clamp him with Chandler.

However, once Fields came to help, his defender Battier in the corner was released.

 …

Drive, squeeze the floor, and pass to the open three-point line.

This is a set of the most basic offensive rules.

James then accurately passed the ball to Battier in the bottom corner!

It was already too late for Fields to throw out at this time. Although he did not give Battier an absolute open three-pointer, it was already impossible to block shots or form interference.

Battier made a steady three-pointer from the bottom corner.

swish!

hit!

2:3

The scene at the American Airlines Arena exploded in an instant!

The fans stood up, cheered and shouted, bringing the atmosphere of the home court to a boiling state.

Score a three-pointer at the beginning, which shows that the Heat feel very good today!

And recently, they have often seen the Heat use this five small lineup to play super offensive performances!

In this way, it can be regarded as a good start for this Eastern Conference finals.

"My fault, mine, mine..." Landry Fields took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself.

But Bai Feng encouraged him: "It's okay, Landry, you've done a good job, keep going!"

Apparently, Bai Feng didn't see anything wrong with Fields' defense.

If Landry didn't come to help defend at that time, and didn't let go of Battier, then James could directly speed up and attack the basket!

You know, it is quite scary to let LeBron James rush up. Even if Tyson Chandler faces James head-on, it may not be able to stop him from scoring.

There is even a high probability that James will score 2+1.

In the Knicks' defensive manual before the game, there is one: No matter what, James can't rush straight up!

Obviously, the defensive end does not give James a direct route to the basket. This has a very high priority in the Knicks' defensive guidelines, so Fields will choose that way.

In contrast, letting go of a role player's corner three-pointer is indeed worthwhile.

After all, it is not so easy to make a three-pointer, and if it is just a role player scoring, it is far less explosive than James breaking through and completing an explosive dunk.

The purpose is to try not to let the Heat lose morale.

However, just through this round, Bai Feng can already foresee how destructive the Heat's five-small lineup will be on the offensive end!.
