Chapter 879 It’s the insiders who suffer!
After the first quarter, James once again had the idea of leaving the Heat.
The confidence of the Heat's Big Three has been eroded little by little from their great ambitions in the first year of their formation.
Although they are still regarded as the favorites to win this year, James has clearly felt that the cohesion of this team is declining. In this state, let alone defeating the Knicks, even beating the Celtics and Nets No team is guaranteed to win.
And the Big Three
"LeBron, in the second quarter we went inside more to cause damage. Only when the Knicks' formation retreated did our shooters have a chance."
Wade said to James during the break.
Wade is a more pure basketball player. He doesn't think as much as James. As long as he goes on the court, he will try his best to win.
James nodded: "Just play like this, we use breakthroughs to open up the situation."
After finishing speaking, James clapped his hands to encourage his teammates: "Guys! The game has just begun. This point difference is nothing. Cheer up and let us win our first victory in front of our home fans!"
James's words effectively improved the team's morale, and no one could see James' true thoughts.
The second half begins.
Wade leads the bench first. This is the advantage of having many stars. No matter what time period, there can be an offensive core leading the team.
Wade came up to take advantage of the screen and easily slid into the paint.
Wade's ability to tear apart defenses is terrifying. Even if his physical fitness has declined, he is still the first breakthrough player in history.
The Knicks lineup naturally shrank in, and everyone's attention was focused on Wade.
Wade stepped into the penalty area with a mysterious step!
Two Knicks inside players jumped up to block the ball at the same time.
Wade didn't take a shot after taking off. He chose to distribute the ball from outside.
Miller has been waiting in the corner.
"Shh!"
Made a three-point shot.
Knicks offensive possession.
Everyone pulled apart and hit David West.
Facing Birdman Anderson, David West played very smart.
David West chose to feint after consecutive back-ups, then turned around and hit the mid-range shot.
Birdman Anderson is very explosive, but most of his blocks are through assist defense. In 1v1 defense, he is actually below the standard.
"Shh!"
David West made a solid hit.
Wade originally wanted to lead the team to recover some points difference, but he didn't expect that David West was also in great form today, scoring three goals in a row in the second quarter!
The Heat quickly suspended substitutions.
James and Gasol appeared.
The two All-Stars came on the court and immediately changed the situation on the court. After the Heat shot up 6-0, it was the Knicks' turn to call a timeout.
Chen Yan and Curry reappeared after a 4-minute rest.
Both sides fought with all their main forces.
In the second quarter, the Heat's performance was much better than in the first quarter.
James and Wade received consecutive free throw opportunities, which was a reward for their frequent attacks on the inside regardless of their physical strength.
D'Antoni didn't care. The efficiency of the two of them will definitely decline in the fourth quarter. The Iron Man can't do it like this.
On the other hand, the Knicks still continued their style of play in the first quarter.
Although the score was not further expanded, everyone played very easily.
At halftime, the New York Knicks led 63 to 49 by 14 points.
陈炎半场拿到23分7助攻2篮板，其中外线表现抢眼，三分球7中5。
If the Knicks' performance in the first half could be summed up in one word, it would be three points.
Chen Yan made 5 three-pointers, Battier made 3, Curry 2, Al Harrington 2, Ray Allen 1, and even Jordan threw in a -pointer by accident. .
Just when many fans thought that Jordan was influenced by the atmosphere of the Knicks and secretly ran to practice three-pointers, Jordan, who was in high spirits, threw another three-pointer in the next round.
However, this three-pointer was ridiculously missed and almost missed the baseline.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that this guy was pure fool.
Chen Yan was amused by this scene. When the camera showed a close-up of Chen Yan, Chen Yan muttered something to Xiao Qiaodan with a wicked smile on his face.
The Heat were the complete opposite. They only hit 4 three-pointers in the half, and almost half of their scoring was completed at the basket.
During halftime, Barkley joked that the two sides were like modern basketball vs. retro basketball.
The Knicks made a crazy three-pointer, while the Heat rushed inside.
If you hear Barkley's comments, the Heat players will definitely be unable to sit still, because they have always wanted to play basketball like the Knicks, which is mainly running and shooting, and shooting three-pointers when they have the opportunity.
But there are two core players in the team. One is weak at three-pointers, and the other is unstable at three-pointers.
If you want to play a style like the Knicks, there is a prerequisite, that is, the core players must take more three-pointers, and they must also shoot accurately.
In the locker room, D'Antoni praised the team.
This was his first official game since taking over the Knicks. The players were in good condition and played beautiful run-and-gun basketball, which gave him enough face.
D'Antoni didn't emphasize too much. All he said to the players was: "Keep playing like this in the second half, boys!"
D'Antoni likes to give his players freedom and trust, especially guards, which is why guards often play in his hands.
From Nash to Chen Yan, some media even predicted that under D'Antoni's training, Curry also has the potential to hit the MVP.
In the second half, the Heat continued to attack the inside.
This is the best solution when the feel is not good.
And James and Wade themselves are the two most impactful players in the league.
Gasol took the shot from mid-range.
Next to James, Gasol seems to be getting softer and softer.
His shooting distance is also getting farther and farther, and there are even signs of moving to the outside as a shooter this season.
Gasol's statistics are also shrinking year by year. Fans think it is the big man's own problem. In fact, Gasol has quietly sacrificed a lot for the team. Every time he pulls to the free throw line or high post, he is giving Janeway creates space.
Although Gasol has this range, this is not his most comfortable style of play.
James fouled Jordan as soon as he started the second half.
This was Jordan's third foul tonight, and D'Antoni quickly replaced him.
David West also quickly received his third foul of the game.
James and Wade rush into the penalty area too often. The only problem is that the Knicks' two starting big men...
