Long Beach, Coast Center Arena.
The Heat ushered in their third opponent, the Knicks.
In the late 1990s, the Heat and the Knicks became mortal enemies, and a series of grudges and famous scenes occurred.
For example, Jeff Gandy, the guy who transformed Yao Ming and his tactical stubbornness, hugged Mourning's thigh and was dragged a meter away...
The Knicks were blown away from a playoff lead due to a player outburst, plus all the bad things Riley and the Knicks had to say.
During the warm-up, the players were gearing up. As a disciple of Rice, Coach Si naturally wanted to attack the Knicks, so he spilled a lot of chicken soup before the game.
The Heat started with 5 players, Wang Zhizhi, Hayes, Dorell White, Su Bei, and Gerald Fitch.
The Knicks' starting five are Channing Frye, David Lee, Matt Barnes, Ariza, and Nate Robinson.
Beep——!
On the jump ball, Channing Frye overcame a duel with Wang Zhizhi and scored the first offense for the Knicks.
"Nate Robinson burst out, he passed Gerald Frye, passed Hayes, and in a body collision, he sent the basketball into the basket..."
"This is the way football is played. Nate Robinson is too strong. In addition, his speed is also equipped with acceleration..."
2 to 0! !
The Knicks took the lead with Nate Robinson, who was the 21st overall pick in 2005. He was selected by the Suns and then sent to the Knicks.
On the court, the Heat attack.
Su Bei couldn't get rid of it. With Ariza's defense, it was difficult to find offensive opportunities.
Gerald Fitch and Wang Zhizhi played a pick-and-roll tactic.
After receiving the ball and distributing the ball, Wang Zhizhi was misplaced and faced "Little Potato".
A big hand flew up in front of him, Wang Zhizhi was very calm, 2.16 meters versus 1.75 meters.
With a 41-centimeter dislocation advantage, even if his feet are equipped with springs, he won't frown.
Wang Zhizhi leaned back a little, just like training, and hit the two-point shot.
2 to 2! !
Knicks offense.
Nate Robinson took the ball upfield, and David Lee and Channing Frye both pulled to the corners.
Barnes cut inside and Ariza pulled into the bottom corner.
This is a simple tactic used by the Knicks, somewhat similar to the Suns.
After all, the Suns are on the rise now, so it's normal to copy points.
Nate Robinson transformed into Nash and played a pick-and-roll with Channing Frye.
After catching the ball, Channing Frye still shot the basketball despite being flanked.
Swish——!
The shot is very smooth. As a senior draft pick, he has an average body and average confrontation. He was also selected with the 8th overall pick. In addition to being born in New York, his elite-level shooting is also praised by outsiders.
Even if they are in the 2005 class, they are also the strongest group.
4 to 2! !
On the court, the Heat's offensive round.
Su Bei continued to make soy sauce.
The Knicks' wings, guarded by Ariza and Matt Barnes, are the two strong points of the defense.
All other positions are weaknesses.
Si was even more handsome, and Gerald Fitch and Wang Zhizhi continued to play pick-and-roll tactics, clearly bullying Nate Robinson's height.
Wang Zhizhi caught the ball and lifted it up. Facing the attack, he flicked his hands and transferred the basketball to Gerald Fitch.
"He cut in, caught the ball and took a step, Gerald Fitch tore through the Knicks' defense, pushed with both hands, and the basketball fell into the hands of Hayes, who was completely empty..."
"David Lee turned back to defend, but it was already too late, clang...
Hayes' entire body is hanging in the southeast corner! "
4 to 4! !
Coach Si applauded on the sidelines and was very satisfied with the tactics he deployed.
"In the Knicks' offensive round, Nate Robinson picked up the speed, turned around and passed Gerald Fitch, and drove to the penalty area, bang -!
Hayes returned to defense in time and fanned the basketball away..."
"Su Bei grabbed the basketball. He glanced at Gerald Fitch. He didn't pass the ball. He controlled the ball and pushed forward..."
"With the connection between the inside and outside Zhonghua family, Su Bei assisted Wang Zhi in the alley-oop and scored two counterattack points..."
6 to 4! !
Wang Zhizhi, who had just passed the three-point line, would have been a weakness due to his speed. Unexpectedly, Hayes' block and Su Bei's sudden push made Wang Zhizhi the sharp knife in the offense.
“The Heat retreated quickly and their lineup shrank, which is the Heat’s philosophy.
Guard the penalty area with iron and blood, and leave the offense to the stars..."
"Nate Robinson's breakthrough ran out of room. After covering the screen, David Lee received a pass from Nate Robinson and made a two-point jump shot..."
Bang-dang——!
The Knicks offense misfired.
Looking back, Gerald Fitch suddenly made a three-point pull-up jumper, which also clanged and missed.
The tactical cooperation at the beginning was vigorous and vigorous, but soon the so-called tactical cooperation began to fail, and individual fighting began again.
After all, every player has different needs. Some players have contracts and are just here to find rhythm. Some players are still seeking contracts and need eye-catching data.
They can put on a show at the beginning to give the head coach face, but then they need to be free.
Especially the Knicks, which were originally a black hole of stars and placed more emphasis on personal ability.
Ariza endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly reached out for the ball.
Nate Robinson chose to pass the ball. Although he was only in the second round, Ariza is also a senior.
Thus, the head-on confrontation between Su Bei and Ariza begins now.
Su Bei didn't test it, and simply took a step away, assuming a posture of guarding against breakthroughs but not against shots.
Ariza dribbled the ball for a while. He is a player who has no pressure. He has a very hard heart and is very daring to take action.
Seeing Su Bei's plan, he immediately agreed with Su Bei's wishes.
A three-point jump shot with a raised hand.
"Ariza, who was in the second round in 2004, averaged 6 points per game last season.
He challenged Jiangsu North one-on-one, he took a three-point shot, he really dared to shoot..."
Bang-dang——!
There is no suspense, Ariza missed a three-pointer.
Last season, his three-point shooting percentage was 23%, which was even more terrifying than the "three irons".
1 of 4, which is still a 25% shooting rate. Ariza's three-pointer is ethically worse than 23%.
Don't ask, the question is that Ariza has convulsions.
In other words, 23% is not Ariza's lower limit. If it is ironed out, it is really scary.
However, he hasn't forced the ball yet, and if he dares to pass the ball to him, he dares to take action.
The inner quality is truly strong.
If nothing else happens, the Knicks will soon be speechless by Ariza's "big heart" and then give up on cultivating this physically gifted man.
"Hayes picked off the rebound and distributed the ball to Gerald Fitch for a counterattack..."
Su Bei's body rushed up, but Ariza looked down on him. His shooting was very bad and he was called "Iron Zha", but he was still able to gain a foothold in the NBA because his physical talent was so strong.
In the future, he went to the Lakers and was known as Kobe Bryant. (No wonder it’s so strong)
Another reason is that he is very active in defense.
"Su Bei rushed to the frontcourt, and Ariza caught the ball and grabbed it like Spider-Man..."
As soon as he picked up the ball, Ariza pounced. Su Bei took a step and was about to take action, only to find that Ariza pounced again.
boom--!
Su Bei had no choice but to pass the ball to Hayes, who rushed back. The latter caught the ball and rushed up, carrying David Lee's body, forced a layup, and sent the basketball into the basket.
Su Bei couldn't even get an assist.
In the 7th minute of the first quarter, Ariza continued to catch the ball, but was put one meter away by Su Bei. He still missed the three-point shot.
Su Bei finally caught the ball in an open position, and Ariza used his strong mobility to fill the defensive loopholes.
The two sides are hurting each other in this way.
At the end of the first quarter, Su Bei only made 1 of 2 shots and scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
Ariza made 1 of 4 shots and had 3 points and 2 rebounds.
The score was 25 to 20, and the Heat temporarily led by 5 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Subei also didn’t have many chances on offense.
Ariza's defense made it impossible for Su Bei to use it.
Fortunately, that guy's blacksmithing ability is really strong, and Su Bei's "snake release tactic" was also very effective.
Coupled with the Heat's advantage inside, they gradually widened the point difference during the counterattack.
