Although James just failed to prevent Lian Dao's layup, he seemed to see the shadow of the paranoid in Los Angeles in a daze.
The game had just started a few rounds, but Lian Dao's performance left a deep impression on everyone.
The Heat's offensive failures these times were all thanks to the failure of Lian Dao.
The Knicks are not only dominated by Lian Dao on the defensive end, but also led by Lian Dao on the offensive end, including the first two Stoudemire scores.
From the very beginning, Lian Dao firmly grasped the initiative on the field, just as he said: This is his domain!
In the next few rounds, the Heat's Big Three also began to score through the pick-and-roll.
The Knicks didn't even think about locking the Big Three completely, because that was simply unrealistic.
James and Wade are both superstars, plus Bosh, an all-star forward, no matter how strong the Knicks' defense is, it is impossible to prevent the Big Three from scoring.
Moreover, although the state of the Big Three in this game is not as hot as the previous game, it is definitely a normal performance.
The Knicks' offense in this game is very clear, that is, with Lian Dao and Stoudemire as the Knicks' offensive arrows, and the final end point of all tactical coordination is on them.
Because of Stoudemire's previous offense, Bosh did not dare to double-team easily, which allowed Lian Dao to completely release the offense, break through and then dunk, make an emergency stop mid-range fallback jumper, and shoot a three-pointer.
Lian Dao's rich offensive methods have made James and the Heat miserable. The most important thing is that Lian Dao is in a very good state today.
After half the game, Lian Dao made 4 of 5 shots and scored 11 points. If the game continues in this state, once the Heat's offensive firepower breaks, it will be directly opened by Lian Dao's attack.
Therefore, Coach Spoel still used the method of single defense from the outside and assisted defense from the inside. As long as Lian Dao broke through, he would immediately double-team.
However, coach Spoelstra's defensive strategy is obviously going to fail.
Lian Dao broke into the inside lane, and as long as there were many people around him, he would pass the ball to Stoudemire. Stoudemire was in a hot state in this game, and Lian Dao was also happy to enter the watching mode.
Stoudemire lived up to expectations, layups, dunks, mid-range shots, and even made a three-pointer from the outside in the first quarter.
The Knicks' style of play has a meaning of simplifying. Once the Heat double-team, the Knicks let other players attack on the weak side;
The most important thing is that the Knicks' outside shooting is in good condition in this game. Although this strategy is simple, the Heat have a feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to make a move.
Especially when the Heat chose to besiege Lian Dao, Stoudemire faced Bosh the Dragon King on the side and played extremely resolutely.
Fans at the American Airlines Center even thought that this was the bully who faced the Spurs in the playoffs of the 2004-05 season.
Stoudemire showed great power in the first quarter, surrendering an amazing efficiency of 6-for-6, and scored 14 points in a single quarter against Bosh's defense.
Among them, I also scored 2+1 once!
Relying on the performance of Lian Dao and Stoudemire, the Knicks scored 35 points in a single quarter.
The Knicks, who completely released their offensive firepower, made everyone feel a deep fear.
The Heat also scored 28 points in the first quarter, which is a lot for the Heat in a single quarter of the playoffs.
However, under the unscrupulous attacks of Lian Dao and Stoudemire, the Heat are still lagging behind.
"The Knicks' pass-and-cut cooperation in the first quarter and the pick-and-roll cooperation were wonderful. The pick-and-roll cooperation between Amare and Nash was the most threatening pick-and-roll in the league."
"But in today's game, I'm afraid the most threatening will be changed. The cooperation between Sickle and Amare is the most threatening, especially Sickle's restraint in the second half of the first quarter, so that Amare Ray gets to do whatever he wants inside the Heat."
"If the Heat don't pay attention to the protection of the penalty area in the second quarter, then in the second quarter, the Knicks are likely to take advantage of the victory to chase and open the score again!"
Kenny Smith looked at the data of the players on the field. First of all, Lian Dao had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. The data was very comprehensive. Although his score did not increase in the second half of the first quarter, he had 4 assists.
With his assists, Stoudemire scored 14 points and 4 rebounds. Most of Stoudemire's points came from the second half of the first quarter. Played the offensive firepower of the Knicks.
In the first quarter, the most different thing about the Knicks was that Lian Dao was no longer fighting alone. When he was double-teamed, the Knicks finally had a second offensive core.
But compared with the Knicks, it's a bit inconspicuous.
The Heat's bench was collectively silent, completely lacking the previous momentum.
The last thing Spoelstra wanted to happen happened. When the double offensive core broke out, they couldn't find their defensive center of gravity.
In the second quarter, Spoelstra didn't dare to let Stoudemire easily get singles opportunities, and the Heat had to send out manpower to limit Stoudemire.
But they wanted to limit Lian Dao's breakthrough, so coach Spoelstra chose to shrink the defense.
However, although Coach Spoelstra shrunk his defense, he did not give up on the Knicks' outside defense.
He positioned the Heat players within the three-point line, so that he could immediately supplement the Knicks' outside players and help defend the inside.
After all, not all players shoot three-pointers as quickly as Lian Dao. From receiving the ball to shooting, this distance is enough for the Heat to make up defenses.
Lian Dao saw Coach Sipo's purpose, so he made a tactical gesture, and then prepared to break through.
James didn't know the meaning of Lian Dao's gesture, but he was very careful.
Lian Dao used a large change in front of his body to create a little space, and then immediately accelerated his breakthrough.
James was overwhelmed by Lian Dao's breakthrough today, especially Lian Dao's super large disguise, which made James really uncertain about Lian Dao's breakthrough route.
This time it was broken again, James chased back in time, and Mike Miller also began to shrink and double-team.
Gallinari started running outside the three-point line at this time, but Lian Dao did not pass the ball in a hurry.
It has not penetrated too deep yet, and Mike Miller still has time to return to the defense. In order to create better shooting opportunities for his teammates, Lian Dao continued to drive towards the basket.
And just when the encirclement of Mike Miller and James was about to form, Lian Dao flicked the ball to the bottom corner.
Three points away from the bottom corner on the right, Gallinari just arrived.
At this time, Mike Miller, who was facing Gallinari, had already been attracted by Lian Dao to the basket, and it was too late to defend.
Everyone still thinks that the Knicks' offense will still revolve around the pick-and-roll and pass-and-cut cooperation between Lian Dao and Stoudemire, but in fact, they have already changed their offensive strategy.
Lian Dao's tactical gesture just now meant an outside attack, so as soon as Gallinari saw Lian Dao's breakthrough, he immediately moved.
Gallinari has a very good touch to catch the ball, so he didn't make any adjustments, and directly shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
Gallinari's three-point shooting percentage this season is close to 40%. Coupled with the bonus of Lian Dao's "Passing Master" badge, the three-point shooting can reach 45%. The rate will only get more terrifying.
Sure enough, Gallinari didn't waste Lian Dao's second pass. Although Mike Miller still didn't give up the defense, when Mike Miller arrived, Gallinari's shots had reached the highest point.
Mike Miller can only watch the basketball arc and then fall into the basket.
Three points hit!
The Knicks expanded the point difference to double digits as soon as the second quarter came up~www.mtlnovel.com~Mike Miller looked bewildered.
Didn't you agree to cooperate with the inside and use a dual-core offense? Why did it become like this?
Coach Spoelstra didn't know if the pass just now was a stroke of genius by Lian Dao, so he still didn't change his defensive strategy.
But in the next round, the Heat attacked and hit the iron, Lian Dao grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Knicks attacked again.
Mike Miller was vigilant a lot this time and did not choose to double-team easily.
Lian Dao was in the middle distance, leaning on James' back and asking Holiday for the ball, and then Holiday lobbed the ball into Lian Dao's hands.
After receiving the ball, Lian Dao turned around and hit the basket.
