Chapter 878 It’s really unjustifiable

The starting lineups of both sides are announced.

New York Knicks: Curry, Chen Yan, Battier, David West, DeAndre Jordan.

Miami Heat: Chalmers, Wade, James, Rashard Lewis, Gasol.

The paper strength of the Heat's lineup is very scary, with two superstars and four All-Star players. However, after several consecutive years of failure, the players' confidence has been severely damaged.

Anyone who has played basketball knows that confidence is very important. If you have confidence, you can make any shot. Without confidence, you will become more and more lost as you play.

The Heat's players are now more or less stereophobic, but the Knicks' players are full of confidence against the Heat.

There was a 12-2 offensive climax at the beginning, with Chen Yan, Curry, and Battier each throwing in a three-pointer.

After the timeout, the Heat replaced Wade as the main attacker.

Since Wade gave up his boss position, his tactical status has plummeted, and the number of singles with the ball in each game has also decreased a lot.

Chen Yan defended Wade alone.

Wade often walks inside the ball.

Chen Yan obviously feels that Wade's explosive power has dropped a lot compared to previous years, and the knee injury has affected his speed and explosive power.

But Wade is not only a star who relies on physical fitness to play, his skills are very delicate.

Wade called for a pick-and-roll and then changed direction and rushed to the left.

David West moved laterally to keep up.

Wade didn't force his way forward, he pretended to thrust forward, and when he saw David West take a step back, he immediately pulled his crotch back.

"Shh!"

Wade hit a high jumper.

12:4.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!"

Wade shouted to the defense after scoring.

Curry controlled the ball for half the game, and Chen Yan passed it over to catch the ball.

Wade flew over and knocked Chen Yan away fiercely.

This was an obvious foul, but the referee didn't call it. This is the home court of the Miami Heat, so the referee would naturally favor them.

Wade quickly reached the frontcourt and dunked with one arm to score two points.

12:6.

Chen Yan did not complain to the referee or say anything. When attacking in the next round, he started to reach for the ball near the logo.

Chen Yan's old fans all know that this is his angry move.

Wade stuck close to him, making small movements with his hands.

Wade's character is the same as Kobe's: he will be strong when strong and never back down.

Jordan wanted to move up to the high position to cover Chen Yan. As soon as he took two steps to the outside, he saw Chen Yan stretch out his left hand and push out.

Jordan understood that this meant opening up a singles game.

Little Jordan stepped back obediently.

Chen Yan grabbed the ball with one hand and started the round with 8 seconds left in the attack time.

Wade was too close to him. As soon as Chen Yan started to move, his body immediately became tense, fearing that Chen Yan would catch him and get past him.

Chen Yan didn't increase his speed all of a sudden. He took a step to the right and suddenly increased his speed!

"boom!"

Changing direction in front of the body, Chen Yan directly passed Wade.

Wade is not afraid of the kind of pure fast, he is afraid of this kind of fast-paced and good.

Fast and slow, who can withstand it?

After Wade lost his position, he still did not give up his defense and accelerated to keep up with Chen Yan.

Chen Yan jumped and completely stuck Wade behind him.

Wade couldn't stop the car and directly rear-ended him.

At the moment of physical contact, Chen Yan leaned forward slightly and shot from mid-range.

"Shh!"

2+1!

Chen Yan lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Jordan and Curry quickly stepped forward and helped him up.

"Shh!"

Extra penalty hit.

15:6.

Chen Yan looked back at Wade, his cheeks seemed to be bulging a little more.

Heat offense.

After Wade got the ball, he hit him continuously!

Chen Yan kept reaching out, giving Wade a great sense of oppression.

Wade kept accelerating and suddenly started to the right!

Chen Yan defended closely, and Wade pulled back near the free throw line.

The same trick again!

Wade likes to use this move very much. He is very fast. If the opponent wants to keep up with him, he must keep up with him at full speed. At this time, if he suddenly pulls back, it will be easy to get out of the attacking space.

Wade pulled back and stepped back to the top of the arc.

Chen Yan flew forward and rushed forward.

Wade feinted, dodged Chen Yan, and then shot from mid-range.

hit!

15:8.

The scene cheered.

This is an answer-ball!

Chen Yan's heart was still calm, and his opponent was also a huge player, so it was normal for him to be hit in response.

Knicks offense.

In this round, Chen Yan directly controlled the ball for half the game.

Curry commanded with his bare hands, motioning for his teammates to pull away, and then squatted in the corner to give Chen Yan as much space to attack as possible.

Chen Yan moved his hips back and forth to find a rhythm, from slow to fast.

Wade kept an eye on Chen Yan's feet. He had no intention of stealing the ball. He knew that Chen Yan's ball would be difficult to steal. If he made a mistake, he would be left with an open space behind him.

Wade's approach is correct. Those who wanted to steal Chen Yan head-on were all on his highlights without exception.

When Chen Yan saw that he couldn't shake Wade's center of gravity, he was not in a hurry to break through. He dribbled under his hips while approaching Wade step by step.

When Wade steps forward, he breaks through; when Wade retreats, he shoots.

Wade kept a safe distance and kept backing away.

suddenly!

Chen Yan pulled up on the spot!

Pull-up three-point shot!

Wade pounced on him, but Chen Yan ignored his defense!

"Shh!"

Three point hit!

This shot was so domineering that it almost hit Wade in the face.

18:8.

Wade refused to admit defeat and said: "I'm lucky, it's only half a finger away."

Chen Yan responded forcefully: "If you can't stop me, someone else will have to come."

Heat offensive possession.

As soon as James got the ball at the top of the arc, Wade got stuck in the paint area and asked for the ball.

James paused and passed the ball in.

Although James is a core player with the ball, he does not take up too much shot power.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The advantage is that players playing next to him will have opportunities to take shots. The disadvantage is that when they need James to step up and take responsibility, James may still choose to pass the ball.

After Wade got the ball, he immediately started to attack Chen Yan.

In terms of strength, Wade is dominant.

Chen Yan was holding his breath and guarding Wade.

After two consecutive collisions, Wade shook his shoulders and then turned his back.

The movements are smooth and smooth, done in one go.

After turning around, Wade did not take a direct shot, but chose to feint.

Wade is very afraid of Chen Yan's jumping ability.

Chen Yan was not fired by Wade.

Wade was in a dead ball situation and suddenly became passive.

Wade leaned against Chen Yan and then turned around again, using his left foot as an axis to turn in the opposite direction and shoot backwards.

This ball was thrown unreasonably, and it was a bit of a forced throw.

Wade thought that the ball would not go in at most, but he didn't expect that Chen Yan blocked it the moment he took the shot.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp big hat, Chen Yan fanned the ball away.

"Shet!"

Wade yelled and looked back to see that the Knicks had begun to fight back.

Curry quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and Chen Yan stepped in later.

Chen Yan's actions attracted everyone's attention.

However, Chen Yan did not take a shot after receiving the ball. He passed the ball back to Curry without stopping.

Curry took a decisive shot and hit a three-pointer with his hand!

21:8.

The Knicks started off aggressively and kept suppressing the Heat.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led 33 to 19 by 14 points.

The reason for the huge difference in points is partly because the Knicks are firing on all cylinders tonight, and partly because the Heat are constipated offensively today.

As a run-and-gun team, it is unjustifiable to score less than 20 points in the first quarter.
