【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
Returning from the halftime break, the Madison Garden fans were a little nervous.
The camera on the scene gave the lens to Knicks coach D'Antoni.
But D'Antoni didn't show the tension he imagined, but still acted very relaxed.
While this made all the fans puzzled, they couldn't help but have some expectations.
At this time, the one who can still remain calm is either because there is real work in hand, or it is a two hundred and five.
Are there any tactics the Knicks haven't used?
Or did they find a strategy during the halftime break?
…
Back in the second half, the Heat, except for mentioning Bosh to the starting lineup, did not change their other positions, and they were still in the previous starting lineup.
But the Knicks have changed a lot.
First of all, Zhu Holiday and Danny Green did not play, but replaced with a brand new lineup.
Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Lian Dao, Cousins, Hassan Whiteside!
After this lineup came out, everyone exclaimed, and everyone was very surprised.
Is the Knicks ready to hand over the victory?
Except for Lian Dao and Cousins, there are a bunch of substitute players. The fans don't understand D'Antoni's lineup.
Not only Knicks fans don't understand, but Spoelstra doesn't understand either.
He is also at a loss when he sees the Knicks lineup now.
To talk about the characteristics of this lineup, except for Butler Spoel who is not familiar with it, the others are defensive champions.
Is D'Antoni going to abandon offense and play defense, will he play defense?
Before they had time to express their doubts, the second half of the game had already begun.
The Heat took the lead in the opening game.
Their style of play is still the same as before, the strong and weak sides cover and cooperate, and the pick-and-roll is misplaced to get as good a scoring opportunity as possible.
It's just that the Heat's cooperation this time was not successful.
Because the Knicks suddenly increased their defensive intensity, a defense that did not consider physical consumption at all.
Wade's misplaced attack was complemented by Cousins, forced a shot, and finally missed the basket.
Lian Dao retracted to the basket and received a defensive rebound.
But the Heat did not give the Knicks a chance to launch a fast break.
When the Knicks came to the frontcourt, the Heat's overall defense had been completed.
If this were replaced by the Magic in the first round, the Knicks would have succeeded with a wave of fast break counterattacks.
But the Heat are obviously not a "very average" team like the Magic.
However, Lian Dao took advantage of the Heat's unsteady foothold, accelerated and went inside.
The Heat instinctively shrank the defense, and then Lian Dao quickly passed the ball to Butler in the right corner.
Butler made a three-pointer!
"when!"
The kid was a little nervous and missed.
Bosh successfully protected the defensive rebound under the basket.
He originally wanted to pass to James for a fast break, but in a blink of an eye he found that all the Knicks players in the frontcourt had retreated to the backcourt.
Then, the Heat's defensive counterattack cooperation failed again!
Wade originally wanted to single out Butler, but suddenly found that the rookie in front of him was not easy to deal with.
When defending, there is a desperate energy of Saburo.
Seeing that there is not much time left in the attack, Wade can only hand the ball to Bosh.

As soon as Bosh held the ball in the low post, he was flanked.
It was too late to pass the ball, and Bosh could only choose to turn around and make a fadeaway jumper.
"Snapped!"
It's just that he just raised the ball to his chest when he was photographed by Lian Dao's sneak attack.
The Knicks counterattacked the fast break across the board, and Butler took the lead in running wildly.
He knows that every time he plays is hard-won, so he cherishes the hard-won opportunities very much.
There are many players who are stronger than Butler, but no one is as passionate as Butler.
Lian Dao quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt, Butler rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, completing a dunk!
Back on defense, Butler excitedly found Lian Dao and clapped his hands.
He remembered what Lian Dao had said to him yesterday.
Lian Dao said that he would have a chance, didn't he get playing time today!
As for becoming the most shining star in the 11th session in the future...
Butler's ambition is sprouting!
…
The photographer on the scene showed the assistant coach Mike Woodson who came to the sidelines.
In these two rounds, the Knicks' defensive strength has increased by more than one strength.
It is self-evident who made the defensive strategy.
Therefore, the sudden high-intensity defense in the third quarter can only come from Woodson, who studied under the old Brown.
In fact, this strategy was discussed by D'Antoni and Woodson a long time ago, before the G1 game.
The reason why G1 is useless is because the Heat did not give the Knicks a chance to use it.
The Knicks held the lead after the second quarter.
In this game, D'Antoni knew that Spoelstra would definitely adjust the team's strategy for the Knicks lineup.
Therefore, the Knicks suddenly stepped up their defense in the third quarter.
Use defense to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm and consume their physical energy.
In the first half of the third quarter, the Knicks have maintained a high-intensity defense.
And, it achieved very good results.
Because the sudden increase in defensive intensity made the Heat's players uncomfortable.
Although Spoelstra has been adjusting the details of the team's offense on the sidelines.
But the defensive lineup that the Knicks have come up with is not hell-level in the league, but it is definitely similar.
Not to mention Cousins and Hassan, Tony Allen and Lian Dao are all at the best defensive team level.
Although Butler is a rookie, but Saburo's hard work on the defensive end caused Wade a headache.
Moreover, the Heat are not without flaws on the offensive end, and their outside shooting ability is average.
After half a quarter of the game, the score on the field has become 62:62!
Although the Knicks were a bit weak on the offensive end of this lineup, under the leadership of Lian Dao, they finally tied the score.
"Is this still the Knicks? Is this still D'Antoni's team?"
Mike Breen asked with wide-eyed eyes.
If you don't look at the Knicks' bench, he will suspect that this is a team coached by a defensive coach like Popovich, Larry Brown or even Thibodeau.
The on-site camera once again showed the Heat's bench and Spoelstra shots.

Shiba frowned, kneading the space between his brows.
Obviously, this operation by the Knicks also caught Spoeldo by surprise.
However, Shiba was not in a hurry.
With such a high-intensity defense, the Knicks can only consume more energy than them.
In the end, the Knicks will basically face a weak follow-up.
As long as they survive the third and fourth quarters, the Heat have the final say.
"beep~"
At this moment, the Knicks made a substitution.
Except for Lian Dao, the rest of the players all went to rest.
Holiday, Danny Green, Millsap, Stoudemire played.
There was another series of question marks at the scene.
It's no wonder that the fans can't understand it, it's because D'Antoni's substitution operation is too bold.
Before this, no team would choose to make such a rotation at this point in time.
It's so out of line with the regular rotation.
Spoelstra felt that he had guessed D'Antoni's intentions.
He thinks that the Knicks consumed too much energy in the first half of the third quarter. In order to maintain a high-intensity defense, D'Antoni had to do rotations.
But is this really the case?
In the first round after the rotation, James broke through the basket after a pick-and-roll, causing Stoudemire to foul.
The Knicks lineup ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The overall defensive strength has declined somewhat.
James stood on the free throw line panting, took a deep breath, and adjusted his rhythm, but he still made one of two free throws.
The Heat once again overtook the score.
Spoelstra was not in a hurry at this time, he felt that the Knicks' lineup could not stop the Heat's Big Three.
The situation of the next game will definitely return to the hands of the Heat just like the first half.
The Heat are destined to take away the victory from the Knicks' home court, and at the same time break the Knicks' undefeated home court.

The Knicks advanced to the frontcourt to attack.
Millsap and Lian Dao pick and roll, and after the split, Lian Dao quickly breaks through the penalty area and distributes the ball to the outside.
Millsap didn't hesitate after receiving the ball and shot directly.
Lian Dao's breakthrough caught most of the defensive attention, and Millsap got a good chance on the outside.
"brush!"
Millsap's state in this game is still excellent, and he made a three-pointer.
"Nice job, Paul!"
"Boss, as long as you pass the ball to me, I will give you an assist, hahaha!"
Millsap is playing more and more confident now.
Spoelstra reminded the Heat players to pay attention to the outside defense on the sidelines.
Although Millsap made a three-pointer, it did not attract too much attention from Spoelstra.
The Heat attacked, James failed to attack the basket, and after withdrawing, he missed a mid-range shot.
Because of the defensive intensity in the first half, the Heat consumed a lot of energy.
Even if James is to blame for his physical fitness, he feels a little powerless.
