NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 343 The hammer hits me!

The second half of the game begins.

Anthony seems to have continued his excellent touch, coming up to catch the ball and throwing it from mid-range.

The point difference has come to 19 points.

This time it was Xue Liancheng's turn to have a headache. Should he immediately use the [-]% hit skill to save his hope?
  Or do you hope that Oladipo can turn around, perform as he should, see if there is a chance to catch up, and then use his [-]% hitting skills?
  Ok……

After almost filtering the thoughts in his mind, Xue Liancheng already had the answer.

What's the point of keeping a [-]% hit skill if you're going to be defeated?
  Push over with the ball.

Coming outside the three-point line, he was thinking about how to create a 3+1 from Hinrich.

Sudden.

Oladiport came over to block for him.

He was just stunned for a moment, then walked around with the ball.

Oladipo has made changes, and of course he has to show the results.

Sure enough, Wade chose to delay him.

But this time, Oladipo no longer hesitated, but went straight to the basket with very ferocious speed.

This was obviously an opportunity, and Xue Liancheng quickly completed the ball.

But the Heat's current defense, especially the defense in the penalty area, is really not good.

Ibaka ran over, as if he wanted to help defend.

Gasol pressed over from the other side, obviously preparing to press Oladipo's space.

Because the interference area between the two is too large, many players will choose to play the ball when faced with such a flanking defense.

But here's the problem. The two of them just pressed to the basket and didn't really reach the basket.

So if you pass the ball out, there are actually no shooting opportunities.

And Oladipo inserted very firmly without any hesitation.

finally.

Ibaka, who is still relatively light, rushed to the basket to provide defense.

Their bodies touched in the air.

Oladipo folded to avoid Ibaka's blockade, and then rushed out with a backhand pick.

scored!

The on-site commentator had to sigh: "This ball is really difficult!"

Commentator: "Indeed, Oladipo's personal ability to stay in the air is quite good when he folds his backhand after physical confrontation in the air."

Host: "The most important thing is that Oladipo has already charged for this ball, which allows him to be fully prepared and full of strength, so that he can take a calm shot after a confrontation in the air."

Commentator: "Yes, Xue Liancheng's passing is really accurate. Of course, the most important thing is that Oladipo is no longer obsessed with fighting with Wade."

Commentator: "Hey, for the Knicks, only if Oladipo comes out can they have hope of winning. It seems that Tyronn Lue must have spent a lot of time during the halftime break."

And the game continues on the field.

Look back.

Anthony also changed his style of play, falling low again and beating PJ Tucker.

Before, he was running around, cutting, covering, and cooperating. The effect was quite good, and it can be described as immediate.

In these two rounds, Anthony once again returned to his familiar rhythm of the game.

That's right.

Just singles with the ball.

The first goal scored may have given Anthony the illusion that he was in great shape and could score no matter what, so it would be better to return to the rhythm of the game that he is familiar with, or to do it however he feels comfortable.

So, the ball is gone.

In the field of stand-up defense, PJ Tucker still has a way, and it is definitely not false.

The Knicks push the fast break.

It stands to reason that Spoelstra, Wade and others are too familiar with Xue Liancheng. They know the characteristics and rhythm of Xue Liancheng's game and will not give Xue Liancheng such a chance to play defensive counterattack.

But sometimes it's such a coincidence.

Xue Liancheng came over with the ball and saw that there was no chance, so he slumped his shoulders and rushed in.

It directly stretched the Heat's defense.

Coupled with the fact that the rest of the Heat are not yet stable, this becomes a matter of focusing on one thing and losing another.

The most important thing is that after Xinrich was passed, no one came to intercept Xue Liancheng.

This allowed Xue Liancheng to penetrate into the penalty area with ease.

When Gasol came to make up for it, it was already [-] springs too late...

Xue Liancheng succeeded in the layup very easily.

The point difference was brought back to 15 points.

Xue Liancheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This shows that they can still be saved.

Still within the scope of rescue.

Look back.

The Heat's offense is much more rigorous.

Anthony started running again, but unfortunately, Ibaka's hand slipped for some reason when receiving the ball. They didn't even have a chance to make a shot and were directly intercepted by Vonlei.

The Knicks' defensive counterattack pushed up again.

Because this steal was so unexpected, neither side was mentally prepared, so the Heat's return defense and the Knicks' fast break were both on the same starting line.

In this case, Xue Liancheng's advantage became highlighted.

He relied on his strength and basic skills to rush all the way, and was finally intercepted by the Heat at the free throw line.

But the Heat have missed several people.

PJ Tucker is one.

Oladipo is one too.

As for why Oladipo was leaked, it was all because Oladipo followed Wade in the Heat's offensive round just now.

result.

When Wade ran out of the perimeter, Oladipo was caught on the screen, causing him to fail to follow up.

When the Knicks counterattacked with a fast break, he fell down invisibly.

Xue Liancheng rushed to the free throw line, and then he reached the top of the arc. Everyone was blocking Xue Liancheng, and no one paid attention to him, which left him with a completely open opportunity.

As for this multiple-choice question, Xue Liancheng chose Oladipo without hesitation.

The latter finally lived up to his trust this time.

Chasing shots from outside the three-point line.

Swish!
  Come on!

The point difference suddenly narrowed to 12 points.

Commentator: "Now the Knicks' offense finally looks much smoother, which is not easy."

Commentator: "The most important thing is that Oladipo returned to form and scored 2 goals in a row. You know, he was 7 for 1 before!"

Host: "Tyron Lue really has a way of training players!"

Commentator: "The Heat's problem now is that the offense can't score, and the defense can't defend it."

Commentator: "Xue Liancheng's deterrence is too great, I don't dare to let him go!"

Spoelstra turned around on the sidelines, but ultimately did not choose to call a timeout.

Maybe trusting Wade and Anthony?
  result.

Wade really lived up to Spoelstra's trust and stepped forward to stop the bleeding.

The two sides once again returned to a tug-of-war situation, and the fight was endless.

At the end of the third quarter.

The Knicks still trailed the Heat by 78 points, 89:11.

A double-digit score difference is definitely not small. After all, you beat your opponent by 12 points in a twelve-minute period. This is not an easy thing.

Especially this opponent is the top team in the East, the Miami Heat in the Big Three model.

But in fact, from the Knicks' perspective, this point difference is not particularly large.

Because the offensive firepower unleashed by the Knicks is equally terrifying, there are many cases of scoring 40+ points in one game.

As long as Xue Liancheng goes crazy, he can really turn the tide and kill people.

of course.

The premise is that it can explode.

The commentator analyzed this: "If the Knicks want to have a chance of comeback, more people must step forward to share Xue Liancheng's worries, especially to share the defensive pressure."

Commentator: "López's condition is not bad. When he faced Gasol, he was not suppressed. He made small hooks, big hooks, turn over jump shots, showing a very comprehensive skill. He is definitely Xue Liancheng The most trustworthy teammate in this game.”

The host disagreed: "Lopez is just the base. If the Knicks want to explode with terrifying offensive firepower, they have to look at Oladipo."

The commentator agreed, "Yes, I think so too. Since Oladipo arrived, the Knicks have obviously focused on the cooperation between Xue Liancheng and Oladipo. The sparks between the two are also very brilliant. Led the team to an [-]-game winning streak. Many times they scored like crazy, led by Xue Liancheng and Oladipo. So... if the Knicks want to catch up, Oladipo's performance is crucial. important."

Host: "After three quarters, Oladipo's condition has obviously improved. He scored 11 points on 4 of 12 shots. In the entire third quarter, he scored 7 points in a single quarter. His efficiency was 4 of 3 shots. It seems that he is still the same. Very promising.”

Xue Liancheng and Oladipo sat on the bench to rest.

As a result, two minutes passed and the score was stretched to 15 points.

The Heat's bench still has something going for it. Por Gizins, Hardaway Jr., Gerald Green, Winslow, Josh Richardson and others all performed well.

Especially this year's three rookies, Porgitins, Winslow and Richardson, may not be considered rookies, but they have integrated well into the team.

It has to be said that this is Spoelstra's handiwork again.

At the same time, it also illustrates another issue. The Heat's management has a really unique vision for drafting. They want functional players who can plug and play, can defend and attack, and are willing to share the ball.

Director Lu finally couldn't stand it anymore and had to send Xue Liancheng and Oladipo in advance, play Lopez, play Crowder, and directly play the fifth grade.

The Heat also changed to the starting lineup, but their lineup did not change, because after Spoelstra adjusted Gasol's positioning, they no longer couldn't keep up.

and so……

Xue Liancheng was not so optimistic.

If you encounter another team, you may still have the opportunity to use mobility and kill the opponent in a fast way.

But this is the Heat!

His old club!

How can other teams compare with their understanding of fast breaks and defensive counterattacks? It can even be said that the development of the five small lineups originated in Miami.

It is self-evident how likely it is that Li Gui wanted to beat Li Kui to death.

Game start.

The results were as expected.

The Knicks do not have the advantage of being fast. The only feasible way is to use speed to move around, which gives them some space.

At 6 minutes and 40 seconds of the game, the commercial paused. They finally relied on their orderly offensive rhythm to get the point difference back to 11 points.

But that doesn't solve the problem.

In other words, it's not enough.

There was not much time left in the game, but the score was still in double digits.

Even though Xue Liancheng still had two [-]% hit skills, he still felt an extremely fierce sense of urgency.

At this moment.

Director Lu's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Xue, there is not much time left. I think you need to take more shots to take over the game."

Xue Liancheng was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He never expected that Director Lu would let him fire unlimited fire.

You know, he is a point guard!

His main advantage is to use the image dynamics and predictability in his mind to read the game, distribute the ball, and allow his teammates to score easily.

As for his own scoring?
  In addition to the [-]% hit skill, the bulldozer breakthrough can be used as the main offensive method, and the low-post singles can barely be taken.

Let him fire unlimitedly. Isn't this a joke?
  He suddenly remembered Director Lu's famous saying, "Give the ball to James", and couldn't help but secretly complain: Director Lu, doesn't he think of me as James?

Director Lu seemed to notice Xue Liancheng's surprise and added, "They know you too well, so you need to increase your deterrence so that others can have more opportunities."

Upon hearing this.

Xue Liancheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt like he was waking up from a dream.

He also wondered why this game was so hard to play. It took a long time. He was in Lushan and didn't know the true face of Lushan!
  Now he finally figured out what the problem was.

It's not just Oladipo, it's not just the Heat's strong defense.

The most important thing is that former teammates such as Spoelstra and Wade know him very well. They know his habits, his playing characteristics, and his scoring methods.

They constructed a trap and he slipped into it without even realizing it.

That's right.

That's scoring.

So far in the game, he has only taken 9 shots, but his efficiency is quite good. He can definitely hit 9 of 5.

But the problem is that as the team's star, he only took 9 shots, which is simply pitiful.

Even Feng Lai has taken 8 shots so far!

Why hasn't he taken any action?

That's the Heat's plan.

Unknowingly, it pushed him out of his comfort zone.

For example, everyone knows that he is very powerful in bulldozing, and he is very sharp in pick-and-roll breakthroughs.

What did the Heat do at this time?

Directly let the two goalkeepers Gasol and Ibaka press on both sides of the penalty area.

In this situation, he took a quick glance and knew that this was not a good opportunity for a breakthrough, so he dismissed the idea of ​​a breakthrough.

This is the trap.

Because he is too sensible.

As a result, this advantage was used by Spoelstra to persuade him to take shots and put him into an uncomfortable shooting area.

After thinking about this, he nodded, "I know how to do it."

Coach Lu seemed uneasy: "No matter what, your task now is to take more shots. I want to see your desire to take shots. If necessary, you can drop to the low post for singles."

Xue Liancheng: "Don't worry, I will let you see my aggression."

The game restarts.

Xue Liancheng kept his word and immediately called for a pick-and-roll as soon as he came up.

Then he took a charging step and rushed in while pressing Hinrich.

At the free throw stances on both sides of the basket, Gasol and Ibaka are on opposite sides.

Facing Xue Liancheng's surging attack, they were all stunned for a moment.

After a whole fight, Xue Liancheng was rarely so reckless.

They all hit some very reasonable shots.

Like now, it is really rare to come in knowing that two Optimus Primes are guarding the basket.

And Xue Liancheng wanted this recklessness.

really.

Gasol and Ibaka looked at each other, and Gasol finally came up, preparing to defend Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng was not afraid to rush forward, and the two made physical contact in the air.

At this time, Xue Liancheng chose to pass the ball.

Feng Lai, who came in, received the ball and rushed straight into the air without anyone watching him.

And Xue Liancheng was standing in front of Gasol.

Hinrich rushed to make up the defense, but it was of no avail.

beep!
  At the same time as the whistle sounded, Feng Lai violently pressed the frame.

2+1 is done.

And this is the aggressiveness that he has been missing before.

Just go hard.

of course.

If he sees an absolute open opportunity for his teammates, he will still pass the ball as soon as possible.

after all……

He took the shot against Gasol, but he really wasn't very sure of scoring.

And if it is given to teammates, the probability of scoring will be greatly increased.

A round like this is equivalent to him using his aggressiveness to create opportunities for his teammates.

next round.

Xue Liancheng held the ball and directly signaled to pull Feng Lai out to play a pick-and-roll.

His three-pointer is more intimidating, so the Heat simply don't dare to let it go.

He jumped in easily.

This time it was Anthony and Ibaka who made the choice.

But the two of them didn't know whether it was due to lack of tacit cooperation or something else. Anyway, they both hesitated briefly after seeing Xue Liancheng press in.

And it was this little hesitation that allowed Xue Liancheng to come in directly.

By the time they both reacted and wanted to pounce, it was too late.

Xue Liancheng directly threw it high.

scored.

The score difference suddenly narrowed to 6 points.

Off-site attack and defense.

The Heat were a little anxious in their offense this time, and Ibaka made a hasty move.

Feng Lei protected the rebound.

The Knicks once again launched a counterattack.

Unfortunately.

The Heat really knew Xue Liancheng so well that they did not give the Knicks a chance to counterattack and retreated very quickly.

But no one thought of it.

Xue Liancheng rushed over and reached the three-point line, then suddenly retreated.

Cast directly.

Chasing three points.

Xue Liancheng actually didn't think too much, but the desire to attack came and he couldn't stop the car for a while, and then he took action hastily.

But Xinrich gave him a big gift. He probably didn't expect that Xue Liancheng would retreat and keep retreating...

When he saw Xue Liancheng withdrawing his hand, he could no longer get up, so he just watched helplessly as Xue Liancheng completed the move.

This means that this is a 15% hit bonus shot.

and so……

Xue Liancheng did not activate the [-]% hit skill immediately.

A shot.

The feeling comes instantly.

Three points.

middle!

The score difference came directly to the last 3 points.

And there is still a lot of time, 5 minutes and 11 seconds.

Tyronn Lue jumped up excitedly on the sidelines. What he wanted was Xue Liancheng in this state.

The commentator also jumped up, "Xue Liancheng is finally here. The 11-point deficit will be wiped out in an instant. Why doesn't Spoelstra call a timeout?"

Commentator: "Spo's eyes turned green. This was the pressure they put on others last season. As a result... this season, they put pressure on themselves. Such explosive scoring power is really terrifying."

Amidst the exclamations, the whole place fell into silence.

They looked at that familiar figure, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

This is the superstar they once had, a superstar who can beat someone to death!

result.

It belongs to someone else.

But now, they are the ones being hammered. You can imagine how uncomfortable they feel.
