Chapter 418: The second core of the team

In the end, the Heat won Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Gardens. Wade scored 36 points, James scored 32 points, Bosh scored 26 points, and the Big Three teamed up to score 94 points. .

The Big Three made an overall effort to finally win a game at home in the Knicks.

Although Lian Dao scored 50 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, although this data is amazing enough, their opponents played better.

Wade was really desperate in this game. He was so fancy about this championship. He didn't take into account the hidden dangers of his knees when he moved a lot. He even used the "lightning European step" to break through the basket frequently in the second half.

At the end of the game, it was James who helped him into the player tunnel.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

The Heat's victory is a true portrayal of this famous saying.

The total score of the series came to 1:1. Next, the Knicks will face two away games. The opponent took away a victory at home. The next game will not be particularly friendly to the Knicks.

The Big Three of the Heat broke out to win the second game and became the headlines of the major media the next day.

"The Flash has come to Madison Square Garden!"

This is the headline of ESPN's second day of column news.

The joint outbreak of Wade and the Big Three allowed them to break all doubts, and now Heat fans are going crazy.

"The Madison Square Garden Arena was rated as one of the league's devil's home courts. However, it was completely conquered by the Big Three of the Heat. The Big Three of the Heat taught Sickle and the Knicks a lesson. The Big Three of the Heat let everyone see it The playoffs will be the stage for superstars!"

"Wade is still the core of the Heat's offense, and he can still lead the Heat to complete the Jedi counterattack!"

"Next, the Knicks will face two away games. If the Knicks can't resist, the Heat will repeat the process of the semifinals!"

All of a sudden, the Knicks, who were still favored by the major media, became the situation where the Heat lost the first game before.

And Wade, James, Bosh have played giant status, and now they have once again become the darling of the media, and then the Heat will return to the home court, with even more advantages, now no one thinks they will lose the next game.

For the Knicks, the playoffs lost at home for the first time this season, and after Lian Dao scored 50+, this is undoubtedly another big news.

Among them, Stoudemire was the first to be questioned.

As the second offensive core of the Knicks, facing the defense of James and Haslem, he did not perform very well in this game. The data of 15 points and 9 rebounds is not suitable for the second offensive core in the eyes of the fans and the media. status.

"The Knicks' missing second offensive core!"

The New York Times section news on the second day is this eye-catching headline.

They don't think the Knicks lost on defense, but on offense. This should have been the Knicks' forte, but they were overwhelmed by the opponent.

The main reason is that the second scoring point did not play a real role. The Knicks' offense relied too much on Lian Dao. Once Lian Dao's shooting percentage dropped slightly, the Knicks' offense would immediately stop.

"Offense wins the game, defense wins the championship!" This sentence is very famous in the NBA, but the real situation is that the offense and defense are balanced to win the championship.

A strong offense can make up for deficiencies on the defensive end, and the Heat have proven it in this game. Although they can't defend Lian Dao, they can guarantee that the Heat will score more points than the Knicks.

The strength of the Knicks can completely compete with the Heat, but there is only one core offense, which can withstand the firepower for a while; but it is absolutely impossible for the whole game to be at the peak explosive stage. At this time, the second core is needed to supplement firepower.

Even if it is as strong as the Bulls dynasty built by Michael Jordan, if there is no Pippen as the team's second offensive fulcrum, it will be difficult for Jordan to win two three consecutive championships.

In the first game against the Knicks against the Heat, Stoudemire did not play the role of the second offensive point.

When the score is behind, fans often see Lian Dao rushing into the enemy group first, using himself as a magnet, attracting the Heat's defense and then passing out, while the rest of the Knicks watch their core play one against two, or even One against three.

In the two games, there were several times when Lian Dao passed the ball, but in the end the ball came back to him.

In the first game, if Danny Green hadn't come forward in the second quarter, they would have lost the first round.

In the first game, Stoudemire at least did a lot on the defensive end, but in the second game, Stoudemire was in a state of stealth on both ends of the offense and defense.

Of course, the Heat's game is also an atypical victory. It is not too common for the Big Three to explode together this season. When these three score 90+ points, it is estimated that any team in the league will be helpless.

But the question is whether the failure of this game can really wake up Stoudemire.

If the Knicks want to go further in the next game, they cannot rely on Lian Dao alone. As for Danny Green, his own flaws are destined not to become the team's second offensive core.

The Knicks can complete the core task of the second offense, currently only Stoudemire.

Stoudemire must stand up on the offensive end, just like the previous 25 games in the regular season.

He must play more resolutely and fiercely on the offensive end, and he must cause a large area of ??damage to the Heat's inside line.

Only in this way can Cousins ??and Holiday play their offensive threats, which can also reduce Lian Dao's defensive pressure.

Lian Dao knew that Stoudemire had this ability.

Stoudemire played too much in these two games. Since entering the Eastern Conference Finals, Stoudemire's physical discomfort has made him a little afraid of confrontation and injury, so many times his offense has been somewhat restrained.

Stoudemire is not suitable for floating shots like Bosh. He is suitable for rushing into the crowd and completing dunks at the basket in the midst of chaos. have this ability.

Stoudemire's style is direct and lethal, hitting the rim head-on like James.

However, because Lian Dao often hit the basket before and attracted double-teams, he got used to floating and shooting after receiving the ball.

This is not a problem against other teams, just like the Heat, James and Wade hit the basket to get more shots for Bosh.

But it’s not enough to face the Big Three of the Heat. If the Knicks want to completely defeat this team, they must have more offensive points. Such a desperate effort.

After the first two games, basically each other's hole cards are almost gone. Now it depends on who can maintain the competitive state of Desperate Saburo.

Lian Dao and Stoudemire watched the news reports after the game, and both of them were very upset when they saw the news.

Originally expected to take the prestige of a 2:0 winning streak and build a 3:0 match point advantage at the Heat's home court in one go, but it turned into the embarrassing 1:1 tie now.

However, it's not that the Knicks haven't encountered this kind of start. Although the team's momentum is a bit low now, the players are in good condition.

This is where they improved the most compared to last season~www.mtlnovel.com~ They experienced the trip to the Eastern Conference finals last season, so even if they encounter difficulties this season, they can face them more calmly and bravely.

"Amare, the team needs you to attack the basket in the next game. How is your physical condition?" In the replay meeting after the game, D'Antoni did not ask Stoudemire, but rather informed him. .

Now that the game has reached this level, D'Antoni has also hardened. If Stoudemire is still in this state, he will really have to make a substitution.

This season, unlike last season, their rotation in the fourth position is still very strong, and at worst, they can let Lian Dao reach the fourth position.

"Mike, I will prove myself in the next game, don't worry, you will see me in the sun period!"

Although Stoudemire's character is straightforward, he is not stupid. He knows that D'Antoni is already dissatisfied with his performance.

In fact, not only D'Antoni, Stoudemire looked at the video after the game, his performance in these two games, even he himself was dissatisfied with his performance.
