Chapter 0396 - The Villain Must Be Hammered! (First update!) )
The Heat are really being pushed to the edge of the cliff.
After a six-game losing streak by the Knicks in the regular season and playoffs, the Heat's experience against the Knicks is also rising.
In fact, whether it is Bosh or James, they can limit Lin Yi's shooting rate, but it is difficult to limit Lin Yi's shots.
Is Lin Yi's strength stronger than James or far superior to Bosh?
Of course not.
For example, can the best defender stop Kobe from building a magic weapon?
Of course not.
The Heat's defense tonight is very clear, limiting and interfering with Lin Yi's shooting rate, changing defenses when encountering blocks, constantly rotating, and using athleticism to maneuver with the Knicks.
They've actually done the same before, but tonight was the best they've ever done, and it's only time that animals like James and Wade have been able to maintain such fitness after Riley's Devils training camp time and time again.
This game is very much like the future Warriors, just like, because the Heat are not the Rockets, the Knicks are not the Warriors, and the Heat's defensive level is indeed a guarantee for them to gain a foothold in the league.
The first quarter played six minutes and the score was 9-14, and the Knicks called a timeout first.
The Knicks' offense has come to a standstill, because if they have been relying on Lin Yi's singles to maintain the point difference, and Lin Yi's shooting rate cannot be guaranteed, the Heat can easily use their good defensive counterattack to open the score.
Lin Yi knows very well where his advantages are, and he also knows where his disadvantages are, in the NBA, it is never those killer moves and weapons that cannot be solved, but people.
If you continue to play like this according to tonight's situation, it is not a problem for Lin Yi to score 40 points, and even if he feels better, he can throw out 50 points.
But singles can't bring rhythm, which is why when the Warriors played later, Kerr found that the ball still had to be played by Curry for a while.
Including the single-core Mavericks, the old driver is responsible for scoring key points, because it is never a one-person business to bring rhythm.
On the Knicks' bench, D'Antoni patted Louis Williams on the shoulder, Lin Yi and Lao De had the same idea, and the Knicks had to open up a second battlefield.
Marbury, dressed in a suit, handed the tactical board to Lin Yi, and D'Antoni was not dissatisfied with it, because Lao De knew that Lin Yi was going to tell Lu Wei some details of the game.
This pair of master and apprentice now have a tacit understanding.
"Luis, you see, the situation is like this, the Heat will be resolute in executing the switch strategy after we block and pick-and-roll, which causes our offense to be hampered from the outside......"
Lin Yi picked up two magnets and placed them in the bottom corner, and picked up two more magnets and placed them at a 45-degree angle.
"Let's say you're in the high post with the ball, then Luiz, your teammates will go over and give you a pick-and-roll, and in that way, your defender will be Chris Bosh."
"You're going to have to reduce the number of shots you shoot from the outside, you're going to use your speed to break through Bosh's zone, and we're going to give you a lot of opportunities." As the magnet in Lin Yi's hand moved, Louis on the side nodded again and again.
At this time, Billups, who was about to be replaced, took over the tactical board, "Luis, I know you are not good at passing. ”
Lowe: "......"
Big guy! Can't you give something inspiring!
Although Louis Williams also knows that his vision is indeed narrow......
"But you remember, Luis, once you break through Bosh's defense and into the box, then the Heat's baseline defenders are going to make up for you, and remember to remember that the first pass doesn't go directly to the player in the bottom corner." Billups reminded.
Lu Wei was a little confused, what Lin Yi said was very simple, he could understand it, but why didn't he give the bottom line when the bottom line was empty?
In fact, Lin Yi knew what Billups meant, and Billups was talking about the first pass, not not not giving.
This is because Billups has already seen the Heat's rotation defensive strategy tonight, and the Knicks need to make a move to completely open up the space.
The Heat's defense tonight is to change the defense when they are blocked, and they also change the defense after the break, and after the breakthrough is formed by Lowe on the court, in addition to the defender who was in charge of him before, the fastest assistant defender on the court must be from the bottom corner.
However, the space on the basketball court is very small, especially for players with amazing athleticism in the NBA, and the defense and rotation are only a blink of an eye. If Lu Wei gives the first hand directly to the baseline, the first is that the passing route is easy to be cut, and the second is that the defender of the opponent's baseline can slide back to his defensive area for the first time, which can easily interfere with the receiving and shooting of the baseline player.
"Luis, you just have to remember that I will always stand at a 45-degree angle on the left side and wait for you, and you will always start to break through from the right area, as long as you encounter a pinch, just turn up the arc of the pass to me and run out yourself!" Lin Yi patted Lu Wei on the shoulder and said.
Lu Wei understood this time and nodded.
Anyway, it's a small fight, a big one, and Lowe is confident in his speed.
Then reduce the shooting, pass to Lin Yi at a 45-degree angle on the left side when he encounters the assistant defense, and do it himself without encountering the assistant defense.
Lu Wei patted his chest: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”
Lin Yi bowed his head, so after the timeout ended, the Knicks removed the boxing champion and big heart, and replaced them with Battier and Lu Wei.
Battier plays power forward, and Lowe plays point guard.
……
After the timeout, the Knicks' possession, Lowe took a deep breath, and on the court, Battier managed to bring Bosh to Luwe.
In the Heat's coach's seat, Si Shuai couldn't understand the Knicks' hand adjustment, shouldn't it be a defensive competition at this time?
You must know that Lu Wei is the Knicks' defensive weak link, and the Knicks removed Tyson Chandler, can Lin Yi cover the restricted area alone?
Knock, knock, knock, on the field, Lu Wei started with a killer Crossover.
No matter how fast Bosh's pace is on the inside, he can't compete with the real little guys.
This is different from Lin Yi, after all, Lin Yi's "model" is big, but Lu Wei is a real loach, black and slippery, slippery and fast!
Lu Wei broke through Bosh's defense, and Lu Wei felt that Lin Yi was really divine, because the Heat's left baseline defender really came to attack him!
Lu Wei didn't think much about it, threw the basketball directly to the left, and then according to what Lin Yi said, he quickly ran to the outside line after passing the ball.
Wade, who was defending Lu Wei, could only follow out at this moment, and Lu Wei was not worried that Lin Yi would not be able to receive this pass, because at this height, Lin Yi's arm span was too dominant.
I saw Lin Yi jump high and grab the ball in the air with one hand before LeBron James to dial the ball to the bottom line!
And Danny Green, who was originally marked by Wade, got a three-point opportunity in the bottom corner!
This is what Billups said, the key to not giving the baseline player directly in the first hand, through Lin Yiguo, Lu Wei not only broke through Bosh's defense zone at this moment, but also took Wade away.
At this moment, the Heat's infinite chain of incomprehensible arrays actually attracted the attention of two Heat players.
Why does Green always have more assists in the future Warriors?
Because "chasing eggs" is the passer in the hand!
And Lin Yi has a wider field of vision than him, and at the same time, the Heat will never dare to let go.
There is another player in the NBA who often does this in the NBA, and that is Coach Lang with a pair of big hands.
The best way for the Heat to defend this time is for James to make up for the bottom line, and Bosh to make up for Lin Yi, but James didn't dare to give Lin Yi this short chance to make up for the defense.
"After we took Tyson off, all five people on the court were pitchers!" On the Knicks' bench, Billups' eyes sparkled.
"As long as Luis can finish the small and big, we and the Heat will fight offensively."
Marbury nodded thoughtfully, "That great man once said that offense is the best defense!" ”
Hmmm——!
"Grimm's Fairy Tale" will not miss this kind of open corner three-pointer, 12-14, the Knicks are close to the difference between the two teams.
Lin Yi touched the heads of Green and Lu Wei with his left and right hands respectively, "Well done, keep it in good hands." ”
Green and Lowe enjoyed the moment a little, "Good! ”
On the Heat's side, Si Shuai quickly figured it out...... James and Wade were in great shape tonight, and the Knicks looked like they had dropped in height after they were replaced by Battier, and they actually increased their rotation speed.
The Knicks are also adjusting their rotation time!
In this way, when he comes off the bench, the boxing champion can play early and maintain a very high defensive intensity with the Knicks' second lineup.
Si Shuai was a little confused...... Obviously, we are the Big Three, but why do we think about it like this, we will be consumed first?
Because after Lu Wei successfully opened up the second battlefield, all Lin Yi needed to do was to defend, pass and shoot the empty space.
But James and Wade not only have to attack strongly, but they also have to keep the defense pressing when they come back.
Then in the second quarter, the Knicks continued to use defense and the Heat to maneuver, and Lin Yi was able to get plenty of rest......
In the second half...... The Heat must use the remnants to face Lin Yi, who is full of energy and full state.
Why can't the Knicks be messed with in the third quarter?
Because there are so many people playing!
The Knicks don't have the idea that it's all 2-0 anyway, and it doesn't matter if we lose.
Lin Yi knows very well that in this round of the series, the Knicks must win this game, and there is no hope for this Heat.
The stronger the opponent, the more you have to start with a huge lead.
Save the villain for last?
That's not Lin Yi's style.
Hmmm——!
After the Heat's offense was completed, the Knicks scored three points again, and this time it was Battier who hit the three, which was the same as Green's three-pointer.
In desperation, the coach called a timeout and prepared to adjust the defense.
At this time, the score on the court was 15-16.
