Chapter 652: Two Stronghouses Meet!

"Move as fast as you can against the other person. Defend quickly before the opponent. At the same time, there are more attacks on the outside...... "Apparently Eric also knows how the opponent is dealing with them at this time. But the Heat really didn't find the Knicks that tall.

It's similar to Whiteside, but not as flexible and tough as Hassan...... So he replaced Adebayo with Adebayo when he felt that Kelly was not working, and Ellington replaced Richardson on the guard.

Adebayo's impact under the basket is still good. It's a little shorter, though.

"It's still in the same shape, and you have to make good use of it in terms of height. Be fast, and don't relax when you switch between offense and defense......," Chen didn't have much to say when the players returned, but simply repeated what he had said before the start of the third quarter.

Because he knows that as long as Hammons is brought up in Miami now, the Knicks will score points in this section, and even directly surpass them! And if Whiteside comes up, in the final quarter, New York can also take advantage of the opposing team's declining fitness to play speed and efficiency!

It can be said that Coach Eric's substitution is still relatively good. He asked Adebayo to come up and top it, Dragic didn't play, and the Heat are now starting to save their strength!

Up Ellington hit a three-point shot directly under Ramon's defense! 64:60! After halftime adjustments, the Knicks' state has changed a lot! And the Heat's 12-point lead is gone.

Ntilikina carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Ramon was just about to take the basketball when he saw that the ball was a little higher in the air than he expected...... The players on the Heat side were also deceived. Porzingis jumped up and hit a three-pointer as soon as he got the basketball behind Ramon! 64:63!

At this time, Heat fans didn't know what to say for a while. Johnson took the basketball and dunked it straight away! He wanted to score points right away, and after taking it, he didn't meet the requirements in terms of starting distance and strength, and the basketball was deducted and bounced out after a short cut!

Adebayo got the ball and was cut off by Ramon and passed to Ntilikina. The latter took the basketball and quickly passed the half court directly and jumped up from outside the three-point line to hit the board and put it into the basket!! 66:64! The score is directly overtaken!

The players on the Knicks bench were in disbelief...... Could this Chan be the "original" coach of the New York Knicks? Even the assistant coaches feel that this game, because of the long-term winning streak, the team's players have some decline in ability, and unintentional slackness may directly lead to the loss to the Heat in this game without any suspense.

But at the beginning of the third quarter, it was found that the state and morale of the two teams had changed a lot!

Winslow took the basketball and jumped next to Beasley for a 2-point shot over the half! Beasley received a pass from Cornet in the front court and hit a 2-point shot straight away! 68:66!

Winslow was slow to hold the ball through the half. Jump straight up and hit a three-point shot without paying attention to Adebayo! 69:68! Winslow's state had become much calmer at this point.

Cornet's throw didn't go after the basketball talked about Johnson, Winslow took the basketball and passed Beasley and Ramon quickly to the frontcourt, and Adebayo took his pass and dunked to score points! 71:68!

Now, the Heat are trying to use coordination and offensive speed to break up or affect the Knicks' game rhythm!

85:83! The Heat entered the fourth quarter of the game with the Knicks by just two points. The 10-point deficit in the first quarter of the game was not very satisfying to Eric. But there's not much that can be done.

In the league now, even a player like Griffin can't take much advantage of Porzingis, who is tied with the Pistons for the highest player in the league.

"The inside line must stop the opponent's attack! When Porzingis suddenly comes out, Adebayo, you have to go with him! Hassan don't go out and defend well under the basket. The rest of the players are shooting from the outside. In the fourth quarter, he immediately took a defensive press. After the Knicks get the rebounds, let's go down this route, here, here, and this place, we must not let them ......."

After the players came back, the Heat coach began to explain them quickly! The surrounding staff began to bring water and towels to the players.

"Don't rely too much on height, this section I guess they can also come up with corresponding strategies to deal with it. The height advantage is still in effect, but I would say that Porzingis can use this to attract the opposing defence! Hurry up."

Several players got their hands on the water, and Chen let his players take a breath a little.

'N'Golo Kante is good at rebounding inside, and he's always waiting for Porzingis to pass the ball. If the opportunity comes out, don't care about what is inside and outside, just give me points!! ”

The Heat lineup came up in the fourth quarter with Whiteside, Bam Adebayo, O'Caro, Ellington and Dragic. Winslow didn't let him play because of his physical problems, and the player basically went to the Knicks' basket again and again like a sharp knife in the first half to score points!

And in the third quarter, when the team was sluggish and there was no effective offense, he stood up to create opportunities for his teammates, grabbed rebounds and scored himself!

The Knicks' lineup here is Porzingis, N'Golo Kante, Hardaway Jr., Jack and Ntilikina. Kante may not be that tall, but his desire to attack is still strong. This quarter is exactly the time for him to come out and score!

After Hardaway Jr. took the basketball, he went to the front court, broke through in front of O'Caro and immediately broke through to the opponent's basket, and then saw that there was little chance to pass the ball directly to Porzingis, who was already standing on the outside! The latter hit a direct three-point shot! 85:86!

Dragic slowly got up front, and under Jack's defense, he immediately broke through and passed to Whiteside! Kante immediately received a foul and Hassan got 2+1! 88:86!

The Heat immediately became different from before when Hassan returned. Their team's confrontational awareness has come up, and there is an attacking Dragic on the outside. Dragic, who was sitting a little cooler off the court, was looking for a feeling on the court.

Ntilikina held the ball across the halfcourt, and Jack didn't shoot a three-pointer after getting the basket. Porzingis took advantage of his height to get a basketball in the air and immediately passed it to Hardaway Jr. Hit a three-point shot right away when O'Carlo didn't arrive in time! 89:88!

Dragic held the ball and directly changed direction and passed Ntilikina and immediately made a layup to score points! 90:89!

115:112! If this game is lost to the Heat, the next game will be a little more ordinary. However, after the Celtics defeated the Magic 128-91 today, the media began to promote the two teams!

Coach Stevens and Chen appeared on the cover of the news that year. Although the Heat made several turnovers against the Knicks in the final three minutes, they completed a quick break. However, in the last two rounds, Hardaway Jr. hit a three-pointer from New York, and after Kanter successfully took the rebound, the Heat wanted to make a foul and took over the basketball from Ntilikina...... This is the end of the game.

In this game, Whiteside of the Heat had 23 points and 15 rebounds! Johnson had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Winslow had 26 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists! Richardson had 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Dragic had 35 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists!

In the end, Dragic's kind of attack didn't save the team. The Knicks' frequent turnovers in the fourth quarter really scared Chen. If New York hadn't adjusted well, the Heat might have just closed the game while the iron was hot.

Knicks got 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists tonight! Porzingis 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists! Beasley had 17 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Hardaway Jr. had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Jack had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

After Chen adjusted in the second half, the team was Porzingis except for the scoring of some players! He got a triple-double in this game! The whole person started to become extraordinarily energetic in the second half! After putting aside the task of key defense, in the next game, Boshen basically has one task in his eyes, that is, attack!

After this battle, the players are tired while they are happy. Chen feels that it is time for them to take a break, and they are allowed to go out at night~ After the Nets, Chen's requirements for players have become as strict as Atkinson's.

Some players rely on their youth and good health to play outside indiscriminately. As a result, the performance in the future games was not as good as before. Even from the situation of the best blue-collar or the league on the verge of becoming a star player, it has returned to the average blue-collar data.

And the Knicks players also accepted Chen's request in the early stage. It still feels quite fresh~ At that time, they trained very hard. The intensity of their training has increased and they don't know what to do at night.

So after good training, good rest and listening to Chen's command on the field, the team has become a lot stronger! The Celtics have won 12 in a row since the start of the regular season!

"We didn't play very well in the first game. I thought we'd have to spend some time adjusting this season. But for now, we can adjust for each win."

Stevens apparently looked relaxed in an interview with the media after the team's big win over the Devils. The Celtics played exceptionally well throughout the game. The Magic team also played a small 10:0 climax in the third quarter!

But soon the Greenshirts caught up with the score! The Magic didn't feel like they could win the game at the end of the third quarter. So I decisively replaced the newcomers and bench players on the court.

In the fourth quarter, the Celtics made some substitutions, and the two teams gradually came to the end of the game in this state. If you insist on playing against the Celtics at that time, you don't know what the final score difference will be......

After this game, the current No. 1 Green Shirts in the East and the New York Knicks, who have won nine in a row, will meet in Boston! Both teams are very strong right now!

The Boston Celtics have made a big deal this season. The swap between Thomas Jr. and Owen is still mentioned by the media from time to time. And the biggest difference between the two teams is probably the cooperation.

Cleveland, in the period without Irving, immediately after the team, like a machine without lubrication, never played well in the game. And the spearhead was also directly pointed at Thomas Jr., but looking at the whole game of the Cavaliers, Thomas Jr.'s playing time was still not high.

The shooting accuracy of the players is also an issue. However, some media comments now give the impression that there is no need to worry about the Cavaliers at all. This is all their "routine"~ It is estimated that the current Cavaliers team is nothing on the surface, and everyone is probably in a hurry within the team.

The Celtics, on the other hand, are different! They have Hayward, known as the white James, the tough Horford, and the new and agile Irving!

Brown, who is currently averaging 13.2 points, 6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game this season! This season, he has improved his stats quite a bit! Not only is the ball quotient good, but also relatively tough in terms of playing style! The advantage in arm span has brushed a lot of data on his rebounds!

Marcus, who averaged 10 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, is a pretty good blue-collar player for the Celtics. Strong physical fitness, okay rebounding awareness, and a selfless spirit similar to Jack on the court.

Jason, 12.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists! The coordination of the body and the athleticism on the field are very good! Here in the Green Shirts, I feel that many of the players belong to the strong style of play, strong and able to grab rebounds at the same time, and have a certain scoring ability......

Irving is currently scoring 17.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists! His arrival showed the team what it is to be a player who has experienced the finals! What a player who has won a championship!

Basically, when Owen wants to attack, he will suddenly play two or three or even pick four people by himself! Skillful foot movements, good physical fitness, speed, excellent passing ability, and sometimes quick breakthroughs, the Cavaliers can lead the team to the playoffs without James!

At a young age, there was a prediction that he would become a superstar in the future! And now he's a superstar in the league! This age is not a problem for him to play for a few more years.

And he is good in all statistics, he makes the Celtics feel that this time they really earned it! He brings a soft feel to the team. Let the Green Shirts, who have always been known for being tough, have a little more delicacy and aura!

It is said on the Internet that the Celtics have lacked such ability in recent years! Their toughness reached the playoffs, only to lose to Cleveland in the competition. Naturally, the Cavaliers at that time had players like Love, James, and Smith who would have a certain suppressive effect on them. And at that time, they also had Owen.

"I don't have much time for this morning. I'll take a look at it in the afternoon, 2 o'clock. Let's talk about it at that time. This game not only touched the hearts of many fans, but also kept the Knicks' coaching staff busy.

At 9 a.m., Dorog called and asked if he could start the discussion in the morning. However, Chen felt that it was better to go to the training gym first.
