In fact, these words are very subjective. If it is said that the Knicks players did not play well in the first game, it is true that no one can see the statistics except Chen Yan.
But in the second game, Curry had 21 points, Kenyon Martin had 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Battier had only 9 points, but he contributed a lot on the defensive end, and some contributions cannot be reflected in the statistics.
The Knicks' few starters have basically played their worth, and the failure to win the Heat is purely due to the gap in team strength. Of course, the efforts of the referees are also indisputable.
The fans of the Knicks froze all of a sudden. They thought that the Knicks would be black to the end. After two games, the fans' requirements have been reduced to not being swept.
Fans began to complain about the management's mid-season trading operation, why not introduce a big-name star to assist Chen Yan.
Although the Knicks had a few signings before the transfer window, they were all veterans like Al Harrington and Kenyon Martin.
What the Knicks lack most now is a second-in-command and a reliable and stable substitute.
Curry has potential, but he still needs time to grow. Now he is often a ghost, and it is difficult to maintain a stable output.
In the West, the Mavericks defeated the Lakers in the tiebreaker and became the second team to enter the Western Conference Finals.
Kobe was dejected, Nuo Tianwang was furious, the Mavericks are currently in good shape, and the most important thing is that the personnel are in order. Nuo Tianwang has a strong premonition that this year is the most promising year for him to hit the championship!
Chen Yan is not in a good mood these days, the team is behind 0 to 2, and everyone looks down on the Knicks.
Fortunately, with Taylor's company, Chen Yan got along a lot better.
After thinking about it, Chen Yan thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy.
That is to defend Wade himself.
In the training session the next day, Chen Yan told Old Nelson this idea.
Old Nelson was against it at first, but after listening to Chen Yan's explanation, he felt that it made sense.
Chen Yan said: "Although the Heat are the Big Three, Wade is the most dependent scoring point in both positional battles and fast breaks. James' scoring ability is very strong, but his playing habit is to put passing first. And his hard-breaking ability is average, the first plan for the Heat to encounter difficulties is to give the ball to Wade, if we can limit Wade, then we can limit their offensive system."
Nelson said after a few seconds of silence: "It's too risky. It will consume a lot of your physical energy and affect your offensive performance. The Heat have no Wade, James and Gasol. The Knicks rely entirely on the offensive end." You, let you lead the whole court to guard Wade, the risk is too great."
"Risks and opportunities coexist. In the first two games, I scored high points on the offensive end, but we still couldn't win the game. When we return to the home court, we must seek changes. If we play according to the previous thinking, we may be swept away by the opponent. gone."
Old Nelson fell silent again.
If it were other coaches, there would be a high probability that they would reject Chen Yan's proposal in a single game, but Old Nelson, nicknamed the Mad Scientist, has rich imagination and strong creativity.
He thought for a while and said: "Maybe we can try, but on the offensive end, you need to reduce holding the ball and running less, and the range of activities is mainly on the outside. At least play like this in the first two quarters, and don't consume too much energy."
The corners of Chen Yan's mouth rose slightly when he heard that, he wanted to use himself as a pure shooter, and only Old Nelson could think of it.
But Chen Yan likes it very much, he was the one who asked for a change on his own initiative, and he hoped to catch the Heat by surprise.
Chen Yan can't wait to start g3. This plan is like an experiment, but it is also possible to make a comeback.
The night before the game, Chen Yan made a special phone call to consult Kobe.
Kobe is the player with the most experience in defending Wade in the league. Although Kobe has just been eliminated and is in a bad mood, Chen Yan has a different relationship with him. Chen Yan has always been the junior he cares about and admires the most.
Kobe answered the younger generation's questions patiently just like Jordan treated him back then.
Kobe said: "Defending Wade must be hard enough. You have to lead the whole court to defend him, whether he has the ball or not. Simply put, you have to pay the price of consuming a lot of energy!"
"When defending Wade, try to force him to the left. Don't let him start up comfortably. Once his right hand touches the ball and tends to go to the right, he will stretch out his front foot to block Wade's foot. Remember The front side foot, try to block the route of his breakthrough to the right, and put it on the left side, forcing Wade to break through and finish with a weak sidehand, which makes it easier for him to make mistakes. Even if there are no mistakes, his starting speed on the left side and the right side It’s incomparable, if he wants to start it forcefully, he will definitely be able to keep up with your speed.”
"If he wants to pick and roll, remember to observe in advance and avoid the screen. This is very important. You know, his nickname is The Flash. If he is given a little space, he can enter the penalty area and cause damage."
"Thank you, Kobe, thank you very much, your suggestion is very important to me." Chen Yan expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"I will watch your performance in front of the TV." Bryant said.
Soon it was game day, James continued to pretend to sprinkle magnesium powder at the beginning, and Wade was also pretending to pull the basket.
The entire Knicks team looked very low-key, not so much low-key, it was more like a chilling atmosphere, all Knicks staff had no way out, they were going to fight this game!
The Knicks' lineup has not changed compared with the previous two games, but great changes have taken place in tactics.
In the first two games, Nelson let Battier guard Wade, and Al Harrington and Kenyon Martin took turns guarding James. They were big enough.
And Chen Yan was assigned to defend the Heat outside shooter Mike - Miller.
It can be said that Chen Yan has the lightest defensive burden, and Old Nelson deliberately let him retain his physical fitness to release energy on the offensive end.
From the very beginning of g3, Chen Yan defended Wade closely, and the effect was even better than Battier's!
Battier relies on experience and defensive skills. Wade is most afraid of this type of defensive player. Apart from skills, Chen Yan's physical talent is better than Wade's. Wade can only call pick-and-rolls every time in order to get rid of Chen Yan. Sometimes Wade can't get rid of Chen Yan even if he calls the pick-and-roll. The reason is very simple. Chen Yan will read the situation on the field and then go around the screen in advance.
Wade's outside shooting ability is limited, so Chen Yan dared to go around the pick-and-roll boldly. Even if Wade was left with enough space for three-point shooting, it would not pose a big threat.
Wade was also very puzzled, this guy tried his best to defend as soon as he came up, so he didn't want to attack?
Wade was defended in the first quarter and only took 3 shots and hit one goal. He was very depressed.
Chen Yan couldn't be much better. He took 5 shots in a single quarter, but his efficiency was much higher. He hit 3 goals, all of which were shots from outside the three-point line.
Knicks
Leading 26 to 18 in the first quarter, the strategy has achieved certain results. Of course, apart from Chen Yan's defense, it is also inseparable from the fiery touch of the outside players.
But in the second game, Curry had 21 points, Kenyon Martin had 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Battier had only 9 points, but he contributed a lot on the defensive end, and some contributions cannot be reflected in the statistics.
