nba: No. 1 Forward Chapter 590 We will finish defending the title
In the critical third quarter, Spoelstra adjusted his strategy, the Knicks fought hard to defend, and the Heat followed suit.
The two sides fought evenly for a while.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Knicks had problems on the offensive end.
Millsap and Danny Green, who came off the bench, had problems with their touch, missed shots one after another, and were beaten into defensive counterattacks by the Heat.
In the end, it could only rely on Lian Dao's superb performance to bite the score, but the ultimate offense belonging to the Knicks did not come out.
After the last three quarters, the Heat still maintained the lead.
Lian Dao exhausted his physical energy because of his offensive and defensive efforts in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Lian Dao's hand feeling also declined seriously. In the end, the Heat moved back to Yicheng at home.
The loss of this game also proved that it is the players themselves that really determine the direction of the game.
No matter how good the tactics are, if the players can't play them, it will be in vain.
In fact, the Knicks' style of play is a bit like the "brave and three crazy" in history.
It's just that the tactics are different. The Warriors use Curry's three-pointers to drive the team's overall offense, so that the team can achieve a collective explosive effect.
The Knicks have Lian Dao as the core of the team. By improving the team's offensive and defensive quality, they can achieve the effect of driving the team's offense.
Compared with the Warriors relying on Curry's outbreak, the Knicks pay more attention to the whole in the third quarter.
Both have their own advantages. As long as the Warriors play well, Curry will basically play a runaway mode in the third quarter.
The Knicks are testing their overall performance.
However, it is normal to encounter failures. After all, the warriors in history have not played "brave and crazy" in every game.
After the Heat pulled one back, the big score was rewritten to 2:1.
This victory is very important to the Heat, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is equivalent to saving lives.
Now they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they have a new understanding of the Knicks' tactics and gained more experience.
There is still a chance in the series. As long as they win the next game, they can completely tie the score.
If they can tie the score, they have a great chance to win the Tianwangshan battle, and even win this year's championship.
The morale is like a rainbow, which is the current situation of the Heat.
But the Heat did it.
One day later, in g4, the flames of war reignited, and the Heat once again played the state they had in g3.
This time, not only James, Wade and Bosh are more active a lot.
However, the Knicks had another power outage problem in the second half of the third quarter, although Lian Dao tried his best in the third quarter.
But the unavoidable result of the fourth quarter was a crash.
The Heat recovered two games at home in a row.
The current big score is approaching the direction the Heat want.
2:2!
After the game, the Big Three were extremely excited.
James even said after the game: They are very confident to win Tianwangshan and break the Knicks' unbeaten record at home.
…
After returning to New York, Lian Dao refused all interviews and plunged into the video room.
He has to repeatedly review the games he played against the Heat.

The Knicks can't afford to lose the battle of Tianwangshan!
There is no problem with the general direction of D'Antoni's tactics, mainly because some of them have not been taken care of.
Lian Dao needs to find out where the problem arises.
Thinking back to the situation of the "Three Crazy Braves" in history, compare the Knicks' situation in the third quarter.
Lian Dao also found a problem.
D'Antoni put most of his offense in the second half of the third quarter.
But he ignored whether the player who replaced him could maintain his touch as soon as he came up.
If not, then this offensive time, the Knicks' offense is likely to stagnate.
Also, in the first half of the third quarter, the Knicks' offensive power was too weak.
The Knicks had to have someone step up and score in the first half of the third quarter.
The warrior in history is Curry, but the Knicks can only be cheap.
In other words, he must start to explode in the first half of the third quarter, so that he can drive his teammates to explode after changing to the offensive lineup later.
The reason why g2 does not have such a problem.
That's because the Knicks suddenly strengthened their defense, and the Heat as a whole had no time to adapt, which led to a precipitous drop in offensive efficiency.
But when g3, g4, and the Heat get used to it, this method will hardly work.
After Lian Dao figured it out, he wanted to go to D'Antoni to explain his thoughts.
As soon as he stood up, the door of the video room was pushed open.
It was D'Antoni, who called Lian Dao to the coach's office.
"Mike, I have an idea..."
"Sickle, I have an idea..."
The two spoke at the same time as soon as they entered the office, but immediately Lian Dao signaled D'Antoni to speak first.
"I discussed with Woodson and the coaching staff. We need you to break out early in the third quarter to support the team's offense, preferably before the offensive lineup comes up..."
D'Antoni paused at this point, then reached out and touched his forehead.
"Tie the score, or even complete the overtake?"
Lian Dao already guessed what D'Antoni wanted to say.
D'Antoni nodded, but then said.
"Not only that, but the offensive lineup will increase the three-point shooting. In the second half of the third quarter, you need to... rush for offensive rebounds!"
After D'Antoni finished speaking, he looked at Lian Dao.
Lian Dao nodded, he understood what D'Antoni meant.
One of the foundations of shooting three-pointers is that you must protect the offensive rebound and at the same time ensure the offensive deterrence around the basket.
Protect the rebounds because the shooting percentage of the three-pointer itself is a problem.
The reason for ensuring the deterrence at the basket is that only when the inside line attracts the defense can opportunities be created for outside teammates.
This is the case with the Warriors in history. Their outside shots have always been coordinated with off-ball cuts.
Otherwise, why do you think the Warriors can play "Crazy Bravery".
The Warriors, who played 73 wins that year, gave other teams two options.
The first is to defend Curry and Thompson with a pinch, and then the Warriors cut in and die without the ball.
The second is to not flank and be shot to death by Curry and Thompson.

In the offensive lineup, only Lian Dao is the most suitable.
However, in D'Antoni's view, it is unfair to Lian Dao, so he has been worried that Lian Dao will refuse.
After all, have you ever seen peak Jordan and peak Kobe playing support?
However, Lian Dao is not emotional about this, what he wants is victory, the championship.
"I can, Mike, I just wanted to tell you this idea before, but you still considered it first!"
"What we want is the championship, the final victory, isn't it? Mike!"
Lian Dao readily agreed.
D'Antoni nodded, stretched out his hand and looked at Lian Dao and said firmly: "We will complete the defense!"
One old and one young, their hands were tightly held together.
…
The battle of Tianwang Mountain is highly anticipated!
The Knicks are back at home, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com This game is very critical.
If they can't win this game at home, the next game will be extremely dangerous for the Knicks.
Although this is not a battle of life and death, it is better than a battle of life and death.
At the same time, it is also the home defense of the Knicks.
On the night of the game, Madison Garden was still full of stars, and many star fans came to the scene to watch the game.
Not only some entertainment film and television stars, but even some NBA stars came to the scene.
Like Stephen Curry, Ray Allen, Klay Thompson...
The atmosphere at the scene was still high, and the shouts of the fans filled every corner of the stadium.
The two of them couldn't hear clearly when they were talking face to face.
Feeling the atmosphere of the fans, the emotions of the Knicks players were also ignited. Everyone changed their previous decadent and disappointed faces, and they were very excited.
During the warm-up, the camera gave James a close-up shot. His expression did not relax at all, but was still serious.
It can be seen that for this game, he is also bound to win.
His seriousness also quickly showed in the game.
Chalmers made a pass error and was intercepted by Holiday, and quickly turned into a fast break counterattack.
James then started chasing and defending, and even caught up to Holiday in the end, and staged a classic chasing hat.
While accepting the block, he quickly turned to offense, and staged a chasing three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
This kind of performance also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of teammates. The Big Three continued the game state of g3 and g4 in Madison Garden.
At the end of the half game, the Knicks are undoubtedly still behind the Heat.
The Heat led the Knicks by 13 points at halftime at 63:50.
