1:3, such a big score comeback, only appeared once in the history of the NBA. In the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics vs. 76ers, the Celtics reversed the comeback 1:3.

Even throughout NBA history, it has only happened once.

Heat fans don't think they can have the luck of the Celtics, and, once they return to Madison Square Garden, after the Devil's home court, Heat fans don't think that the Heat can withstand the pressure of the Devil's home court.

Therefore, the Heat cannot afford to lose in the next game. They can only win the next game, not lose.

The home defense battle is imminent!



No matter how good the performance is, when the loss becomes a fact, no matter how good the data is, the media chooses to turn a blind eye.

After the Heat's Big Three failed in the first game, they were once again pushed to the forefront by the media.

However, the Big Three of the Heat have no time to pay attention to media reports now. They know that the media will not let go of the opportunity to ridicule the Big Three of the Heat after their big defeat in the last game.

Instead of endlessly caring about the evaluation of the outside world, it is better to calm down and study how to win the next game.

This is the current thinking of the Heat's Big Three. Wade and James are repeatedly watching the video of the last game, and they are studying how to deal with the Knicks' "run and gun" lineup.

The "running and bombing" lineup D'Antoni built in the Knicks is very different from the lineup he built during the Suns.

As far as defense alone is concerned, it is more than a little better than the Suns period, and the tactics that can be inside or outside, fast or slow are also very different from D'Antoni's previous tactics.

In the last game, the Big Three of the Heat had a solidified impression.

They thought that the Knicks' "running and bombing" lineup was still in D'Antoni's Suns period, so they followed the tactics of other teams in the league against the Suns at that time, and dealt with the Knicks, which caused them to suffer a lot in the last game.

After watching the game video over and over again, Wade and James came to the conclusion that one-on-one defense is the only way to deal with the Knicks, because Lian Dao's passing ability is too strong.

The consequence of double-teaming Lian Dao was that Lian Dao got 17 assists in the last game.

But if the Heat want to win this round of the series, it is obviously impossible to defeat the Knicks only by the normal performance of the Big Three. The Heat need players other than the Big Three to score.

ESPN reported on the current situation of the Heat. An ESPN columnist believes that the Heat's teamwork is not good. During the regular season, the Heat's team assists are at the bottom of the league.

However, the formation of the Big Three is destined to rotate the ball in the hands of the Big Three, and the Heat also mainly rely on the personal abilities of the Big Three, so it is not surprising that the assists are at the bottom of the league.



At that time, many media and fans believed that as long as the Big Three of the Heat played steadily, this would not become the weakness of the Heat.

And before the Eastern Conference Finals, this was indeed not the Heat's weakness.

But the intensity of the Eastern Conference finals far exceeds the regular season and the previous playoffs. The Big Three played well, but their opponents played even better than them.

At this time, the data comparison between the two sides becomes very important.

In the last game, the Heat's assists were obviously much behind the Knicks.

As a result of this situation, it can only show that the Heat's offense is not running smoothly. The Heat's offense can only rely on the Big Three to fight alone, and the support that other players can give them on the offensive end is far from enough.

Of course, a large part of this is also due to the low quality of the Heat's role players.

In the last game, James and Wade also gave their teammates a chance when they were guarded tightly, but only Mike Miller stood up, and most of the other players ended up with iron.

Once the other players' shooting percentage is insufficient, the Big Three will of course not pass the ball to the role players, and the Heat's role players can only follow the team to run back and forth helplessly.

On the other hand, the Knicks, in fact, most of their ball power is concentrated on the dual core.

But the dual core can attract double-teams, and Lian Dao is a good passer. Under his organization, the Knicks have more blooming points, making the Heat hard to defend.

The Heat fell into the inherent impression of D'Antoni's "running and bombing" on the offensive end, and often missed people on the defensive end, so they could only watch the Knicks make the score bigger and bigger.

Of course, in addition to this, there are other reasons, such as rebounds, especially offensive rebounds. In the protection of offensive rebounds, the Heat lag behind the Knicks, which directly gives the Knicks a lot of second offense Opportunity.

Defensive rebounds are the foundation of the Heat's defensive counterattack. Without this weapon, it's no wonder that the Heat's offense can be smooth.



A day later, fighting resumed at the American Airlines Center.

The fourth game, which is crucial to both the Heat and the Knicks, officially started.

In this game, Mike Miller and Mike Bibby, the two three-point shooters, performed very well, but they were not the protagonists on the field.

The protagonist is Dwyane Wade with full firepower. In order to win, he did not hesitate to break through at full speed, throw himself in the air, and avoid Danny Green's chasing and defending, just to score every attack. For this reason, he does not know how many times Fell to the floor, but got up again every time, got back on the defensive end and defended hard.

For this victory, Wade was completely desperate.

The same is true for James. On the defensive end, he kept hitting Lian Dao, pulling, entangled, and getting stuck. In order to defend Li Dao, James did everything he could.

But the biggest protagonist is destined to wear the blue No. 1 jersey, the youngest superstar on the field.

This game was very intense. If we talk about the previous three games, the two sides could have some unexpected tactics, but in this game, there are no secrets between the two sides at all.

Based on the loss of the last game, the Heat adjusted and changed the Knicks' defense in time. They did not let the phenomenon of four scoring 94 in the last game happen again.

Of course, after three games against the Knicks, they also know the strength of James, Wade and the Heat well, and they didn't let the Big Three of the Heat play superbly again.

In the last 33 seconds of the game, the score between the two sides was 90:89, with the Knicks leading by 1 point.

Just now, Lian Dao scored a three-pointer from the outside and overtook the score again. It is not known how many times Lian Dao overtook the score after falling behind.

After Lian Dao made that three-pointer, he felt like his lungs were about to explode. James' defense in this game cost Lian Dao too much energy. He is panting heavily, staring at James. .

The same is true for James, he is holding his hands on his knees, panting like a cow, and now Wade is holding the ball, he uses this short time to recover his physical fitness.

The time on the court now leaves each team with an offensive opportunity. At present, the Heat have no timeout opportunity, and the Knicks still have the last timeout opportunity that they did not use.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】

But D'Antoni will not call a timeout. Calling a timeout at this time is only beneficial to the opponent. After all, it is the Knicks who are leading now.

"It's too intense. This game has reached this level. Anyone can win. Sickle scored a three-pointer to help the Knicks overtake the score! Once again, the Heat are on the verge of danger! But again, if the Knicks can't Defend the Heat's offense, and the crisis facing the Knicks will only be greater!"

Barkley had already stood up at this time, he was staring intently at the situation on the field, not wanting to miss any details.

Wade dribbled the ball unhurriedly to avoid Danny Green's defense~www.mtlnovel.com~ Wade is still gritting his teeth until the game is played.

Once again, Lian Dao put them on the brink of failure.

He really admires Lian Dao, this guy is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, every time the Heat set off a counterattack, he waits to stand up and fight back at critical moments.

Not only Lian Dao, but the toughness shown by everyone in the Knicks made Wade admire.

Wade admires the Knicks, but why don't Lian Dao and the Knicks admire Wade and the Heat? !

Time and time again like a lone hero, he rushed to the basket and scored, and the contact between the body and the floor again and again, and the muffled sound made Lian Dao feel his scalp numb, and he seemed to feel Wade's pain.

But they are opponents, and they are enemies on the field. Even if they are admired, it is after defeating the opponent.

Wade also thinks this way, he wants to completely kill the game in this offense!
