Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 135 Advancing to the Second Round

Woody's "three consecutive shots" went all the way from the inside to outside the three-point line, and finally formed a fast break counterattack to help his teammates complete the goal.

This series of operations directly stunned the New York fans at the scene.

The cheers grew louder and louder, and they became increasingly unable to control their emotions. Finally, the cheers resounded throughout Madison Square Garden.And it continues, just like giving up Xuanmai chewing gum, and can't stop at all.

Kenny Smith shouted excitedly, spitting: "What did I see? What did I see?"

"OMG!"

"Woody!"

"He put on such a great shot-blocking show!"

"This is not the first time I have seen a player block consecutive shots, but this is definitely the most exaggerated blocking show I have ever seen!"

The key is that his span is too big.

In a general shot-blocking show, the shot-blocker waits for the opponent to rush up inside again and again. Woody is better. He directly chases the ball and "blocks" all the way. With that posture, to be honest, any dog ​​passing by will be beaten. hand.

Bill Walton said: "This will definitely become a classic scene in Woody's career!"

No matter whether he can hit it in the future, because this "three-hat" is too exaggerated!
The New York fans turned against each other, and the atmosphere at the scene also shifted directly to Woody and the Heat. The next game did not have any ups and downs. The New York Knicks plummeted, and the Heat set a new record for their single game in this series at Madison Square Garden. Maximum point difference.

107 is better than 87!

A full 20 points difference!

Big score 3-0!

No more, no chance...

Based on the NBA's playoff history for so many years, the New York Knicks' hope of advancing to the next round is 100%. Now it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

最终让整个麦迪逊花园广场发出惊叫声跟欢呼声的伍迪一共拿到了34分16篮板4助攻6盖帽2抢断的豪华“两双”。

In addition, Wade also reversed his decline in this game, scoring 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

Although his performance is not as outstanding as Woody's, his statistics are much better than those in the previous two games.

This game also showed his adaptability.

It means that this honest-looking guy is actually a "potential stock" with great potential!
After watching the game, Pat Riley took the initiative to send a message to Wade:

——Man, I see your growth and your potential. You are far from reaching the heights you can reach!

These words made Wade ecstatic.

Because Pat Riley took the initiative towards him, especially because he was insinuating, and after learning that Pat Riley had not sent a message to Woody, he felt that his position in Pat Riley's heart had finally caught up. Woody some.

Where there is a will, there is a way!
One day, he will take Woody's place in Pat Riley's heart.

"Magic Calculator" indeed did not send a message to Woody...

He called Woody directly.

There was excitement in his voice.

In the first game, Woody scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals.

In the second game, Woody's data was 17 points and 14 rebounds.

To be honest, after the second game, Pat Riley was worried about whether Woody would be restricted like this.

Although, such data is already a top rookie performance.

But there is still some gap between it and the top level.

There is a saying that "look at the old age when you are three years old".

The quality of a rookie's first playoff appearance can actually tell us about his future.

Even someone like Kobe is really tempered step by step.

But one thing is undeniable...

Players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan all reached their peak when they debuted.

Considering Woody's age, his peak is definitely not the same as the peaks of the above. That would be too harsh on him.

But the current data, according to Pat Riley, can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

As a result, in this game, Woody used a higher level performance to make him smile with satisfaction.

No matter what level of rookie he is compared to, this is a top-notch performance.

Especially this performance in front of his "old club" made him even more satisfied!

Of course, the most satisfying thing is that after this game, the score reached 3-0. If they win another game, they can advance to the second round.The last time the Heat advanced to the second round was in 98. Before you know it, 6 years have passed!

Now, we have finally returned to the heights of the past...

It was undoubtedly a successful season!

Stan Van Gundy also praised Woody and Wade severely after the game, but during the daily training the next day, he reminded everyone: "The series is not over yet, everything is still possible. The only way to avoid a bad situation is to end this game quickly!"

Winning the fourth game of the series directly is the real completion!

Under his reminder, everyone on the Heat team continued to maintain high morale.

The fourth game of the series came as scheduled.

It's also the home court of the New York Knicks.

The entire home atmosphere is already "dead".

None of the Knicks players have high morale.

The reason is very simple:
The scene was filled with huge boos, which didn't stop from the moment they entered the stadium.

Losing 20 points at their home court in the last game made New York fans a little angry and completely lost their minds.

And their boos sapped the Knicks players' fighting spirit for this city.

Anyway, the money has been obtained, no matter whether it is 4-1 or he is directly "swept" out!
From the beginning of this game, the New York Knicks were not rushing to win.

However, they still have goals they want to accomplish...

That means, no matter what, limit Woody!

After the third game of the series, Woody's "historical rookie" data caused an uproar in the outside world.

As Carmelo Anthony continues to slump, Woody has become the brightest star of the "03 generation".Originally, the other two of the "three geniuses" could still share some starlight, but now, one is already watching cars at home, and the other's performance is completely inferior to that of the regular season, making Woody completely in this "draft year" "Outstanding", leading the way.

His consecutive "three consecutive shots" became the "best game shot" of many media such as TNT, ESPN, Bleachers, and FOX.

As for the specifications, let's put it this way...

Worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple!The New York Knicks, as the backdrop, were naturally ridiculed by many media.

The Knicks head coach recorded all these sarcasms and threw them in front of the Knicks players before the start of the fourth game: "This is the honor that this newcomer has achieved on your heads. He has been riding on your heads. It’s shit, but you can’t even let out a fart!”

Under such circumstances, Woody naturally became a "thorn in their side" and a "thorn in their flesh."

Game [-] of the series, they were very focused on cutting off Woody’s catches.

After all, whether this guy is scoring while running or making a mid-range jump shot, he needs his teammates to feed him the ball.

As long as you cut off the passing route for him, you can completely prevent him from scoring!

Woody quickly sensed the New York Knicks' intentions. He immediately changed his style of play and began to create more space for his teammates to receive the ball and run.Wade played very comfortably in this game because the entire space was stretched wide.

The Heat quickly gained the upper hand and gradually formed an advantage!

At the end of this game, Wade scored a series-high 22 points.

He was used to being restricted, and suddenly he was no longer so targeted. It was as if he had taken off his shackles. He was free and carefree.

It's not just Wade who benefits, but also Odom and the others, whose offensive performance is more or less much better than usual.

It's easy to defend a man with the ball.

But it is too difficult to defend a person from catching the ball, or even cut it off as completely as possible. It requires the defensive strength of an entire team to barely do it.

Woody assumed the responsibility of Wade in the first two games tonight.

He only took 11 shots in the game.

There were almost 6 to 7 fewer shots than in the previous games!
But these few shots are very good opportunities. You can basically take the ball and score it.Woody made 11 of 8 shots and scored a total of 16 points. If it weren't for too many dunks that affected his feel, he only made 5 of 1 free throws, and his score would have been higher.

In addition, he also got 14 rebounds and a playoff-high 6 assists.

Plus 4 blocks and 2 steals...

His presence cannot be ignored!
The Knicks generals were quite excited at first.

Because they completed the task very well and limited Woody's shots.

Compared with the previous game, Woody's shots in this game can be said to be much less.

But when they looked at the final data sheet, they looked confused.

Why does it feel like the data is different from what they thought?

Drexler was a little surprised when he saw the data sheet: "When did Woody fill in these data?"

He also saw the New York Knicks' efforts to contain Woody in all aspects, and he also felt that it was quite successful.

But in the end, you told me that he got the data of "15 plus 15 plus 5"?

This……

The Knicks players belatedly remembered that Woody scored 34 points in the last game!
The number of goals scored in this game was lower than in the previous game...

This doesn't seem like a big deal!
Woody himself had a dull expression when he saw this data.

No one knows better than him how much he racked his brains in this game.

Ball holding ability...

It’s really critical!

He must make up for that this summer.

Otherwise, look at the changes in his scoring. From 34 points to 17 points, as long as someone targets his catch, his scoring will be directly reduced by half...

It seems that without good ball-holding ability, there is really no way to become a true "super giant"!
However, the New York Knicks also paid a heavy price for this. They lost another 16 points in this game.

In all 4 games, they lost by an average of 15 points per game.

In this era, this is a very exaggerated loss of points!
At the same time, they were swept out 4-0.

This posture is as embarrassing as it is!
The people of Miami also took revenge for being "blackballed" in 99.

It can be seen that Heat fans are really satisfied. Everyone on the Heat team who returned to Miami at 2:[-] in the morning was blocked at the airport.

A large group of Heat fans spontaneously came to pick him up at the airport.

All kinds of cheers merged into a symphony, and those who didn't know it thought a party was being held here!

Since the beginning of this season, this Heat team has made many Miamians regain their passion for basketball.

But starting from when, these Miami people want to accompany this team to reach the top step by step.

So most people in Miami must have started with the Heat's 4-0 sweep of the Knicks tonight...

This "battle of revenge" was really comfortable to win!

There are still so many media who are not optimistic about the Heat before the key game.

In this life, is there anything more exciting than "slapping" someone in the face?

and……

Woody was very dissatisfied with his performance in the fourth game and couldn't wait to make up for his own ball-holding problem.

But Heat fans are very satisfied with his performance in these four games.

After the first round of the series, Woody played in 4 games, averaging 37.8 minutes per game, averaging 23.25 points, 14.25 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.5 blocks and 2 steals per game, shooting 55% from the field and 70% from the free throw line!

Completely top-notch inside player data.

The 18-year-old genius handed over such a data sheet in the first round of his career. All they could say was:
Rain or shine, we are with you!
until the peak!

If they were to know that Woody was still not satisfied with himself and wanted to improve his ball-holding ability, he would probably smile crookedly...

What kind of "fairy baby rookie" have we encountered?

Is Miami’s luck coming?
Eliminating the New York Knicks 4-0, the Heat became the first team to advance to the second round of the playoffs this season.

This was a situation that no one expected before the first round of the playoffs!

In fact, for the Heat, a newly formed team, being able to reach the semifinals in the first year is actually considered a success... After all, there are only 8 teams that can reach this position in a year!
This year's Heat team hasn't reached the "luxury tax line" yet, so what kind of bikes do they need!
Even if they are ranked second in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, this result is enough to make a difference...

But the Heat generals obviously don't think so.

After the first round of the series, they quickly got into preparations for the next step.

In the current Eastern Conference, in addition to the Heat defeating the Knicks 4-0, the Pacers currently lead the Boston Celtics 3-1 and are only one step away from promotion.

The Nets and Pistons have also obtained match points respectively, and now they are waiting to give the final blow!

During this period, the final results of the season's "Best Sixth Man", "Best General Manager" and "Best Head Coach" awards were also announced...

"Sixth Man of the Season" belongs to Antoine Jamison!
