Chapter 184 Rhythm Controller

6:6, the two teams saw the attacks of two top offensive teams in one and a half minutes since the game began. In the first two rounds of the Heat and the Knicks, they did not encounter a super offensive team. Even if they met the league's No. 1 Bulls and last year's Eastern Conference champion Celtics in the semi-finals, in a sense, they were not considered top offensive teams.

However, after both sides fought wildly for three rounds, the Heat took the initiative to slow down.

James is not only a top fast breaker, but also an excellent playmaker, the first truly top small forward in the ball possession after Larry Bird.

After halftime with the ball, James did not rush to attack, but stood at the top of the arc and started their organization.

The Heat's running position is excellent, with several consecutive running positions interspersed through the penalty area, and after several running positions, Joel Anthony in the middle was empty.

The moment the open space appeared, James' pass instantly reached Joel Anthony's hand and dunked with both hands.

Joel Anthony averaged only 2 points in the entire regular season. He played for 20 minutes. He was able to play because his steps were not too slow, he had a certain degree of hardness in the inside line, and his defense was still up. This dunk just now had completed his offensive task tonight.

Wade, who doesn't need to hold the ball on the offensive end, did a pretty good job on the defensive end this time. Just as Van Gundy has already begun to say, defending Lin Yang requires a player who is not inferior to Lin Yang in all aspects of speed, height, wingspan, and bounce. Wade is such a player.

Lin Yang's crossover was unable to deceive Wade's defense. Wade basically maintained his defensive position. In the first time in this game, Lin Yang simply pulled out and failed to hit.

This is normal. Not every jump shot can hit, and Jordan won't do it. What's more, Lin Yang's shooting percentage declined when facing the Bulls, and the overall shooting percentage was "only" 48.7%. This Heat team is even better in the outside defense than the Bulls. Wade's defense is probably better than everyone on the Bulls' back.

The Heat are still very patient in playing on the side, running, pick-and-roll, and especially the Heat's Big Three are good players in the pick-and-roll. Just now it was the pick-and-roll of Wade and Bosh, and this time it was James and Bosh.

Although your current giant's super long three-pointer has not yet been able to practice, the mid-range hit rate is still online. After all, the game is quite "soft", so he needs to have good mid-range ability.

James' tank breakthrough put all Knicks players on him, Bosh on his elbow was empty, and James passed the ball behind his back to Bosh when he broke through halfway.

The mid-range shot made a hit, and the Heat made 5 of 5 shots at the beginning, and the Knicks' defense seemed to have no effect in facing this level of offense.

On this side, Feidun should raise the team's rhythm at this time, or respond with a beautiful pass, but unfortunately he could do it if he didn't.

Feidon had no way to break through Charmos' defense, and his pick-and-roll cooperation with Anthony did not work. Anthony was forced to hold the ball to conduct a one-on-one challenge.

"The Knicks need a player who can control the rhythm to help them control the rhythm of the game." Bill Walton, who has many years of commentary experience, is very clear about what the Knicks need now. Feidon is a good point guard, and the number of assists per game is even higher, but he has no way to bring the game to the rhythm he wants.

"Rhythm? There are not many point guards who can beat LeBron, and obviously, there is not one in this Knicks."

Anthony missed a three-pointer, and James accepted the rebound. The Heat, who was still focusing on playing slow, instantly accelerated again, and the familiar James and Wei were connected again.

James almost made a random pass from the backcourt, and the pass seemed to see Wade moving forward, just in the hands of Wade who ran into the three-point line.

Wade didn't even need to dribble, and he took off two steps and was hit by one.

First there was a 6:6, but after James controlled the rhythm, the Heat easily gave the Knicks a 6:0. James gave three assists to Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh and Wade in these three rounds.

A perfect ball-handling forward, worthy of being a regular season MVP for two consecutive times. If there was no live transfer, this criticized thing happened, he might become the second player to the regular season MVP for three consecutive times.

The Knicks were very lost in the second half of the first quarter. The most obvious point was that their unique tactical guns could not be hit. The Heat's retreat speed was beyond imagination. Lin Yang found a perfect fast break opportunity. Anthony was crushed against James. Although Brewer ran quickly, he was always delayed by Wade and James. This was the charm of the Heat's wheel-turning defense. In the middle, Mike Miller even replaced him with a small lineup.

At the beginning of 19:31, the Knicks were very uncomfortable. The Knicks only had 20 points in the first quarter? This was a complete shame for the bombardment team. You should know that in the first minute and a half, Lin Yang scored 4 points and 1 assist in the first minute and a half, but in the end, he only scored 13 points in the next 10 and a half minutes.

Rhythm, rhythm, Lin Yang was the team's field controller to fight the Heat for a while when Fei Dun just ended, but it was obvious that his current field control skills were obviously not as good as Fei Dun, let alone compared with James and Wade on the opposite side.

This is the first time that Lin Yang has felt how important a rhythm controller is to the team. The Heat have felt the Knicks' bombardment ability, so they will not choose to play fast as long as they don't have a good chance.

They have watched the previous videos about the Heat, and the Heat is not not fighting back.

The 76ers in the first round were not too many fast breaks, but there were also quite a few. The Heat played teams of the 76ers level and hardly needed to do too much. It was enough to play what they wanted to play.

But it was completely different to face the Celtics in the second round. The Celtics are also the Big Three, and they are the Eastern Conference champions last year. One of the reasons why the Heat won 4:1 is that the Heat played the counterattack he wanted. The old Celtics, such a bunch of bad guys, could not beat the Heat.
