0353 Chapter The emperor arrives, step by step!
February 14, Valentine's Day.
American Airlines Arena.
The Knicks challenge the Miami Heat away.
This is the third time the two sides have fought this season, and the Knicks won the first two times.
Can the Heat stop the Knicks' 15-game winning streak? Can they stop their recent decline in losing?
"LeBron and Dwayne must come up with a solution to the problem as soon as possible. Half of the season is over, and the Heat cannot keep talking about the team's need to be integrated," said Kenny Smith.
"I believe LeBron has found the root of the loss from his recent failure. In this game, I am optimistic that the Heat will win back a game." Barkley said poisonously.
As the number one "Lin Mi", why is Barkley Poisonous Milk Heat? Is it crazy or morally degraded?
In fact, Barkley simply felt that the Heat could not keep losing like this. After all, the combination of James, Wade and Bosh is too intimidating.
As the Heat's behind-the-scenes military advisor, Riley said in a recent interview that the Heat's poor performance is not because of three-pointers. "Many people say that the Knicks are the team that shoots the most three-pointers this season, so they are the first in the league, but I don't think so."
"The Knicks have a lot of pitchers, so they are the right choice to shoot threes, but threes are just one of their tactics, and we prefer to play close to our opponents than threes."
At the same time, Riley said that the Heat will do their best to prepare for the playoffs, and he doesn't care about one or two losses in the regular season.
Then, before this Heat and Knicks game...
"We need more three-pointers! Otherwise, the Knicks' defense will shrink and smaller!" Riley said as he looked at his disciples.
"This game against the Knicks is crucial, we must ensure that we have a home advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs!" Riley has obviously forgotten what he said when facing the media...
In Lin Yi's previous life, when the Heat played against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat could only make 4.2 three-pointers per game.
In the finals against the Mavericks, the Heat averaged 7.5 three-point shooting per game.
In the two teams where the Heat beat the Mavericks, they hit 11 and 9 three-pointers respectively.
Among them, in the two winning games in the finals, James scored 5 three-pointers, Wade scored 4 and Qianmos scored 7.
"The God's Purposer" has something, and she said she didn't want it, but in fact she is more honest than anyone else in her body.
...
James continued to sprinkle magnesium powder before the game, and the "Little Emperor"'s expression today was a bit solemn.
There was a little murderous aura in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yi.
In fact, James liked Lin Yi very much at the beginning.
Otherwise, who would have nothing to do to have an appointment with a friend to watch NCAA Davidson’s game?
But as the Knicks have become the Heat's number one rival this season, James knows that this young man named Lin Yi obviously does not intend to believe that: The future is yours.
The big screen of the American Airlines Arena has given the starts of both sides tonight. Amid the cheers of Heat fans, James, Wade, Bosh brought Monmos and Mike Miller to play.
On the Knicks' side, Chandler, Lin Yi, Garlinari, Tony Allen and Billups led the lead.
The Valentine's Day battle is about to break out!
Lin Yi defeated Bosh in the jump ball, and compared with the second game, the Heat have changed tonight.
Dragon King Bosh is responsible for defending Lin Yi, James is actually the fourth position, and the Heat defend the man-marking area.
Two months ago, James said in an interview that although he doesn't like playing the No. 4 position, he can sacrifice everything for the team's victory.
And two months later, when the Heat kept winning, James said: "I think I'm a natural No. 4 player!"
In the Knicks' first attack, Lin Yi held the ball with his back and held it with one hand. The collision between his muscles with Bosh was so tragic!
Lin Yi turned around with his right hand, and the Dragon King did not dare to be negligent, so he followed with a slippery step. At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch and pulled the ball back, and took the step back and shot it in the middle!
Bosh looked like I knew it, stretched out his dragon claws to interfere. As expected, his fellow disciples knew each other. Lin Yi missed the mid-range shot, James grabbed the rebound and suddenly launched a conversion attack.
The "Little Emperor" is majestic, like a bulldozer, pressing forward, thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud and thud on the engine, James frowned, and the word "king" on his forehead began to appear-
Bang!
Overlord step + dunk hit!
The boxing champion failed to block the "little emperor" who rushed up. The referee blew at the same time and had to play "2+1" at the beginning. The Heat fans of the American Airlines Arena followed the DJ on the scene and shouted: "king--!"
Lin Yi and Knicks coach D'Antoni on the sidelines confirmed their eyes, and the Heat have changed tonight!
Unfortunately, James failed to make the penalty, and the score on the field was still 0-2.
In the Knicks' positional battle, Lin Yi went to the high position and Billups to pick-and-roll, Qian Mos replaced the defense in front of Lin Yi. Just when Lin Yi was about to directly hit the Heat's small defender, James came over, and Qian Mos quietly retreated and formed an area defense with Bosh on this side.
Lin Yi looked at James, who had completely lowered his center of gravity in front of him, and he had confirmed the changes tonight's Heat.
Lin Yi didn't make the second attack either. Wade caught the rebound this time. Wade, who was swelling with his cheeks, flicked around. After encountering the care of Tony Allen in the frontcourt, Wade passed the ball back to his "lover" James.
Lin Yi, who saw that the Heat was different tonight, had already paid attention not to give James space when he retreated, but the "little emperor" unreasonably stepped horizontally to the left, and then pulled out a three-pointer to take action!
Bang, swish—!
The basketball swept the ball around the basket and fell into the net, 0 to 5, and James scored five points in a row at the beginning!
D'Antoni signaled Lin Yi whether to call for a timeout, but Lin Yi shook his head. The Knicks were still operating normally. Billups suddenly shot a cold arrow from the outside, and this time he had it!
3 to 5.
Teacher Tony, who was paying attention to Wade's breakthrough, unexpectedly, the guy who refused to apply for a discount card suddenly scored three points...
...
"Charles, it seems you're right, the Heat did find the root of their recent loss." Kenny Smith said at the end of the first quarter.
"Let's look at the next game. After all, the Knicks' substitute lineup is not a good person." Barkley was a little proud. The most important thing for the commentators was to guess the moment the game was right... Although most of the time they were slapped in the face...
At the end of the first quarter, 23 to 30, the Knicks were 7 points behind. When Lin Yi returned to the bench, Lu Wei had already prepared the towel, Whiteside moved the bench, and Danny Green handed the drink.
In Marbury's black question mark face, the Knicks' whole team surrounded Lin Yi and turned into a small circle.
O'Neal made a word for asking: Please start your performance.
Lin Yi almost sprayed the drink out, especially D'Antoni's affectionate eyes. Lin Yi really wanted to remind Lao De that you are the head coach, okay!
There is no way, D'Antoni is just such a person, otherwise he would not have given some tactical arrangements to Paul in the future.
The changes on the court are changing rapidly, and sometimes the coach may not have players to see clearly.
D'Antoni believed in Lin Yi's ball business and tactical literacy.
"The Heat are copying our tactics." Lin Yi said.
D'Antoni nodded. He had already seen that the Heat mainly targeted the area to defend when defending. Although they did not have a frame protector, they could rely on their talent to deal with the Knicks.
"LeBron played fiercely today. In fact, we are not afraid of the Heat's occasionally scored points when converting and attacking. The reason why they scored 30 points in the first quarter was that they scored 6 three-pointers." Lin Yi took over the tactical board from Lu Wei.
"James got two, two Qianmos got two, one Wade got one, and one Miller got one. In this way, our defense must be expanded outward, so it gave them a lot of opportunities to attack easily." Lin Yi said while fiddling with the magnet block on the tactical board.
D'Antoni frowned... This is difficult. According to the rotation between the two sides, at the beginning of the second quarter, at least two of the Heat's Big Three will be on the court. Can the Knicks' substitute withstand it?
Speaking of this, Lin Yi raised his lips slightly, "Just shoot for them, we will continue to narrow the defense. In addition to James Jones and Mike Miller need to pay attention, if they want to pull three points in case of interference, they will continue to pull them."
The Knicks' assistant coach Donaldson looked puzzled, "Lin... Then, wouldn't the Heat take three-pointers unscrupulously?"
Lin Yi took a sip of the drink, "So what?"
Lin Yi told Donaldson a very simple truth.
James' three-point shooting percentage this season is 33%, Wade is 30%, and Qianmos is the most accurate, with 35.9%.
No matter how the Heat shoots in the future, even if they hit the Mavericks, they will not change their defensive strategy.
Because of this group of people, can the Knicks be killed?
"It would be fine if they just made 3 points, but don't forget that we only scored 23 points in the first quarter." Lin Yi continued.
"Their external firepower is not as strong as ours. To ensure the lead, we must defend ourselves more than we do."
"We don't just play with the starter." Lin Yi stood up and patted the back of the Knicks player who was about to play in the second quarter.
Marbury, who was standing beside him, thoughtful, "Present facts and reason, is this why this Knicks are powerful?"
D'Antoni understood what Lin Yi said. After the Knicks' rotation, although the offense was a little poor, the defensive strength was there.
However, the Heat's substitute cannot guarantee the defensive intensity of James and Weibo when he is on the court.
At the same time, the Heat's three-pointers can force the Knicks to change their defensive thinking unless they are in the game.
However, it is necessary to ensure ultra-high intensity defense and outstanding offensive finishing rate, how can the Heat do it?
No matter how strong Zhan Weibo is, he is still a human being, not a god.
The Knicks' defense was not fucked, just because the Heat were too accurate. The Knicks didn't need to overcorrect it, they just needed to follow the steps.
"But...why do we feel like we have opened the heat?" Lin Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
In the second quarter, James and Wade did not rest, Bosh rested, and the game continued!
