Chapter 278: A Stunning Start! Assassinate Goliath!
phone-reading
October 27, Miami, American Airlines Arena.
The opening game of the new NBA regular season, Knicks VS Heat.
The American Airlines Arena, which should have been full of people, was extremely quiet at this time.
Miami Dolphins (NFL) defensive tackle Ndama Konsu, who came to cheer for the Heat, looked stunned. He sacrificed his IQ in exchange for his talent for violence. At the moment, he is like a deflated ball. Who am I? ? where am I? what am i doing
No, it's the Heat, what are the Heat doing?
Kong Su, who weighed more than 300 kilograms, looked at the incredible scoreboard with a black question mark face...
The close-up shot of the TV broadcast showed the "little emperor" who was substituted in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter of the game. LeBron James, who was sitting on the bench, was breathing evenly. Thumb, he could already imagine how he would be criticized after the game if the game continued like this.
The wrinkles on his forehead slowly condensed into a word "King", as if he was about to activate BUFF...
James' comrade-in-arms Wade finished the first quarter, "The Flash" and "Dragon King" who also finished the first quarter were communicating... Bosh's giraffe-like neck could not support him at this time Frustrated, Bosh took the towel from teammate James Jones and put it over his head...
It was an eerie opener.
Before the game, whether it is ESPN or TNT, they all made their own forecasts for this game.
Even Barkley, who has always been venomous, believes that this Heat team is difficult to beat by the Knicks.
Lin Yi's "injury" before the game has cast a shadow over the Knicks' prospects for the new season. Many Knicks fans dare not even turn on the TV because they are afraid that the game will be one-sided.
But when the game finished the first six minutes, if it weren't for Kenny Smith's eloquent jokes, the commentators didn't know how to go on.
Heat coach Spoelstra confidently stated before the game that the goal of the Heat for the new season is the championship.
After all, the combination of James and Wade is enough to surprise people, not to mention that this team still has Chris Bosh who can open up space?
At this time, Spoelstra didn't know how to describe his mood. The Heat's players are not in good shape?
No, this is the Heat's well-prepared opener.
Beating the Knicks, beating the Knicks beautifully is what Spoelstra considered before the game.
However, when the Knicks and the Heat finished the first quarter, Spoelstra was left with another problem.
How to beat this Knicks?
On the scoreboard: 24 to 11, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind.
The Knicks didn't score much, and their scoring was mainly concentrated on Lin Yi. In order to limit Lin Yi, Spoelstra even used James to match Lin Yi in the second half of the first quarter.
In fact, Lin Yi didn't play well against James, and only hit 1 goal in 4 matches.
But what makes the Heat desperate is that the point difference between them and the Knicks is getting bigger and bigger!
Why?
The momentum of the Heat is like being poured a basin of cold water by the Knicks.
The hearts of the Heat fans who watched the game were cool.
What exactly happened?
With James, Wade, two top scorers plus Bosh, the Heat scored only 11 points in the first quarter of the opening game against the Knicks?
How did the Knicks do it?
...
In fact, Knicks coaches D'Antoni and Lin Yi were not surprised by the score in the first quarter. The only surprise was that they didn't expect the Knicks' defensive champions to be so fierce...
In the first quarter, the Heat sent Bosh, Haslem, James, Wade and Chalmers as starters.
In order to limit the Knicks, Heat coach Spoelstra deliberately made a small speed increase.
The starters for the Knicks are Tyson Chandler, Lin Yi, Gallinari, Tony Allen, and Livingston.
The Heat played a pick-and-roll in the opening game, and Wade attacked first, but Wade soon discovered that Tony Allen could always bypass the pick-and-roll. Although the sensible Wade puffed up his cheeks, he knew that he was not a People are fighting.
Wade is not reluctant to attack, because the Heat still have James!
However, when the "little emperor" managed to break through Gallinari's defense line, he found that waiting for him in the penalty area were two frame protectors who moved laterally and made up the defense very quickly!
After Lin Yi?
It's okay, the Knicks still have the "Champion"!
Tyson Chandler is indeed a defensive expert. He gave James enough confrontation. Even James cannot ignore the height of the "Champion".
Tonight, the Knicks are heavily hoarding the inside when they are defending. Chalmers is the only starter in the Heat with a stable long-range shooting ability.
Chalmers finally survived until Livingston went down, but the Knicks replaced Finsen made Chalmers even more uncomfortable.
The Knicks' defensive strength today has reached the playoff level. Their defense is like a huge pocket. After tricking James and Wade in, they immediately surrounded them!
In the second half of the first quarter, Janeway used sudden points to drive his teammates. "Little Emperor" hit one, and "The Flash" made a shot. However, the Knicks' defensive rotation was crazy, especially in the second half of the first quarter. After Danny Green came on the court, the North Carolina player who used to be able to stand by the drinking fountains in the Cavaliers used his tough defense and desperate rotation, which greatly changed James' impression of him.
It turns out that the Cavaliers used to have such a number one player?
The Heat couldn't score offensively, and the Big Three were not in a hurry at first. After all, the Heat's defense was also very tough. They also did a good job of defending against the Knicks, but how could Lin Yi look injured tonight?
Haslem, who was in charge of marking Lin Yi at the beginning, quickly felt the oppression that Lin Yi brought to him. Lin Yi's singles hit rate of Haslem was always around 50%, and Spoelstra had no choice. I had to sacrifice James to defend Lin Yi, but the result was to restrict Lin Yi... But after Lin Yi missed consecutive attacks, he turned to use forced breakthroughs to make fouls.
James ate two fouls in a row.
The "Little Emperor" looked at the referee with an embarrassed face and aggrieved face. If Lin Yi's two breakthroughs are considered fouls, what about my previous breakthroughs?
The referees will not pay attention to the little emperor's complaints and complaints. This kind of ball that can be played or not is of course biased towards Lin Yi!
You know, Lin Yi already won everyone's sympathy points, and the halo of fighting with injuries made him taller and more stalwart in the hearts of the referees.
James, who was in a foul crisis, had no choice but to go down and rest, and the game completely moved towards the result the Knicks wanted to see.
Lin Yi played the full 12 minutes in the first quarter, and made 14 crazy shots and hit 6 goals. Although the shooting rate was only 42.8%, every fight, every fallback, and every jump shot of him was regarded as a David's bright sword!
Because he is challenging the heat like Goliath!
Lin Yi didn't expect...the fans went astray again!
Shouldn't the point of this game be that the Knicks' defense is strong?
Sorry!
Now the fans only have Lin Yi in their eyes, and even in their view, it is because of Lin Yi's efforts that inspired the Knicks' desperate defense.
Lin Yi: ORZ!
...
"Everyone did a good job! Lin, take a break at the beginning of the second quarter." Comrade D'Antoni was very relieved. The coach also watched the dishes. The Knicks' defense was so good that it exceeded Old De's expectations.
So at the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Yi got a lot of rest time.
The Knicks sent O'Neal, Battier, Danny Green, Louis Williams, and Sean Livingston here.
The heat's offensive rhythm is not fast, as long as the Knicks don't make mistakes, they won't eat their counterattacks, and even if the Heat "cut the shark", Lao De is not worried. Anyway, the Knicks are leading now. Right in the middle of Lin Yi's arms.
When your number of fouls is full, according to today's referee's scale... Lin Yi will be full of free throws later!
On the Heat's side, James' expression was very dignified. He said something very encouraging to his teammates. James knew that the game must be brought back in the second quarter!
So Wade and Bosh didn't stop, but what the Big Three didn't expect was that what was waiting for them in the second quarter...
