The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 975: 1 war is about to start

The Knicks didn't win the series in Game 5.

The Heat are stronger than expected.

"They should have shown this kind of blood in the fourth game." NBC's commentator Bob Costas expressed regret, "It seems to be too late now, even if we win this game, there are still two games waiting. Do they expect the Knicks to be unprepared for this level of intensity every game?"

Costas' partner Hubby Brown vehemently denied: "It's impossible, Bob."

"We have to be soberly aware that the Knicks were less than half as good in the Eastern Conference finals. In the past three games, leader

It's disrespectful to the opponent, but instead of seeing anger on the faces of the Heat players, we found that they played two unusually weak games. That's why I don't believe they can come back, they don't have the genes to come back. "

Brown's unlimited smear of the Heat caused Lewis Shafir's disgust.

Shafir said to the media: "Hubby Brown understands basketball!"

For the Heat, this could be the closing battle.

Tonight, the Heat continued to increase in intensity, but the Knicks are the reason why the intensity of the Eastern Conference playoffs has continued to go to extremes since the 1980s.

The Knicks don't want to make the Blazers wait too long in the Finals.

They want to get rid of the Heat as soon as possible.

Therefore, as soon as the game started, Ewing took the attitude of "rejecting surprises", squeezed the Heat's defense line strongly, and successively succeeded in the interior.

So far in the playoffs, the Knicks are both the most aggressive team on offense (100 possessions scored) and the second-most **** team on the defensive end (100 possessions allowed/first is the Trail Blazers).

In the regular season, the Heat still ranked first in the league, but after entering the playoffs, their offensive and defensive intensity did not rank in the top four.

There is a gap between the defensive end and the Knicks.

The best offensive end is also incomparable.

The Knicks, with a balanced offense and defense, have a very high lower limit of the game, and the Heat fell into a disadvantage at the beginning of the game.

The system was running smoothly. The Knicks’ iconic ball-handler used pick-and-roll breakthroughs to create chaos, the corner shooter received no-ball screening moves, and after the inside pick-and-roll and screening, the division of labor was clear, and the No. 4 position was pulled outward (Kemp), The five cuts in.

As long as the tactics run away, five offensive opportunities can be created within ten seconds.

As a tactical manipulator, Stockton can always find the best passer.

Under such an offensive, the 99 team can only make a choice, what to defend, what to give up, always give the Knicks sweetness. If you want to take care of everything, you need a super defensive lineup, and this configuration is extremely rare. .

The real situation is completely beyond Donovan's imagination.

Before entering Miami, he worked as an assistant coach for the Knicks for four years. He thought he knew the Knicks and the Knicks very well. However, understanding does not mean that he can crack.

Tonight, the Heat first bet on the Knicks' outside shooters being inaccurate, focusing on preventing Stockton's breakthroughs and Ewing's pick-and-rolls and Kemp's cover from time to time, trying not to give Wilson a chance to hit the mid-range.

But such a defense is simply impossible.

Ewing and Kemp both have one-handed shots, and Kemp can also shoot three-pointers, so their pie range can be extended from the basket to the free throw line and even beyond the three-point line.

How can you prevent such a range of eating cakes?

Taking a step back, if Ewing and Kemp don't have shooting touch, it doesn't mean that the Heat's arrangement will work. This is precisely what makes the Heat the most troublesome. Ewing has an advantage in any insider when he encounters the Heat. Kemp's athletic ability and explosiveness are only comparable to Barkley in the active No. 4 position.

This sheer talent advantage means that they don't need complete easy when they go down and eat the cake.

When someone is stuck in front of them, they are very stable at the end of each other, so even if the Heat's flank receives all the help from the basket, it may not be able to prevent it.

The Knicks' shooters are not retro-style stupid standing outside and waiting to pass the ball and shoot three-pointers. Miller has a good sense of movement. Wilson has the ball and the ball is accurate in the middle distance after running. , break through to the paint area and connect with the center. With Ewing, who is as stable as an old dog and strictly controls the team and does not make mistakes, and Stockton, an old cannon who has mastered psychological warfare, when the opponent's defensive resources are not enough to limit the operation of the system, he wants to guard Nick. The attacking of St. John's was an impossible task.

Louis built the Knicks into the best defensive team of all time, but their offense was a perennial top three in the league, and in its heyday there was no objection to claiming the league's No. 1.

The Heat were lucky today.

Miller, who has been accurate for five games, is not very accurate today.

Although Wilson shot more than 50% of his three-pointers, he was mediocre in other aspects.

Double guns are rarely misfired, and this should have been an opportunity for the Heat.

However, when the outside line was not pierced, the Heat's inside line had an accident.

Ewing had 22 rebounds in a single game, and Kemp beat Hank Gaithers to establish himself as the top four forwards in the league.

Rodman came off the bench defensively, scoring 10 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks in 25 minutes.

Yu Tiancan played the Heat's bench effortlessly, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block with a 100 hit rate.

The inside line is so rampant, the Knicks' outside line is per capita and marginalized.

Stokes, who has the strongest sense of existence, is also a cake feeder. When the inside line is showing more than one show, the outside line is also the one who came to save his respect. He delivered 19 assists in the audience, all of which were for the inside line.

What the Heat can do is very limited.

Billy Donovan scolded his president for being short-sighted during the game.

Looking at the East, the only team that is a threat to the Knicks is the Heat, but their team president is like a lack of heart, and he is stunned to target the Pacers.

Pacers, what kind of turkey is that, worthy of such attention?

In recent years, the Heat has only one direction of reinforcement, which is to blow up Danny Manning.

Now, Manning did not hit, but the Knicks have become the enemy.

Those insiders collected against Manning, in front of the Knicks, are like Haru Xin Suzuki vs. Mahogany, not enough to see!

At this point, Donovan is helpless.

After all, he is still too young. Although it is true that the Heat's inside line was completely destroyed by the Knicks, it is definitely problematic that the team did not show the momentum to fight the Knicks until the fifth game.

However, in the first year of entering the industry, he was able to lead the team to the first record in the league. He fought six games against the defending champion in the Eastern Conference finals and became the head coach of the year. This starting point is only inferior to Louis in the entire NBA history.

Donovan didn't have much regret on his face when the referee blew the final whistle.

He's young, and the Heat are young, and they believe that failure makes them better.

"Coach Lu, we'll be disappointed if you don't complete the sixth consecutive championship." Donovan joked.

Louie snorted: "The pressure brought by Portland is enough, you should care more about these players."

Donovan doesn't seem to know the seriousness of the problem.

"Any questions?"

After all, Donovan is a coach who has gone out from under his own hands. Even if he has already gone solo and sees a problem with the other party, he should give appropriate advice.

"I like your fighting spirit in Game 5, but you shouldn't wait until that stage to fight hard. You can show this kind of blood in Game 4, and the series will be much more interesting."

"Billy, you did a good job in your first year, but it could be better," Louis said bluntly.

Louis is a person who likes to joke very much, but when he is serious, no one dares to despise him.

"Coach Lu, your words mean a lot to me, thank you."

Donovan's performance was sincere and prudent. Louis realized that his intentions were not in vain, and he smiled: "Since 1978, I have only wanted to be the best in everything. I hope your standards are the same as mine."

"Coach Lu is already a role model and role model for basketball coaches. I need to learn from you whenever I want."

For such rainbow farts, Louis has always refused to come.

After exchanging greetings with Donovan, the NBC reporter came to Louie with a microphone.

"Coach Lu~www.readwn.com~ What do you think about this victory?"

"Miami has a great team and they've proven they have the strength to challenge our supremacy. Starting this year, there will be an extra strong team in the East, which will increase the competitiveness of the division..."

Louie's touts of the Heat are formulaic, not distracting.

Still, the Heat are far superior to other teams that don't deserve Louis's bragging rights.

The reporter mentioned another question: "This game is also your finals promotion battle. After winning this game, the Knicks have advanced to the finals for six consecutive seasons, surpassing the Lakers in 1983 and 1987 and becoming NBA history. The team with the second-most consecutive Finals appearances."

Louis asked humorously, "What is the team that has advanced to the finals the most in a row?"

The funny thing about this question is that everyone knows the answer.

The reporter is an honest man: "It was the Boston Celtics in 1956 and 1966 (9 championships in 10 years / 8 consecutive championships in a period), and they entered the finals 10 times in a row."

Hearing this, Louis had a horrified expression on his face, and then he acted like a sea dragon king who was halfway soft, and said in frustration, "This is a record that is difficult to break."

"Coach Lu, the Knicks are still young, you actually still have a chance."

Louis instantly "smiles through tears": "Thank you for saying that, by the way, you should have another question, right?"

The nbc reporter then asked his third question: "What does it mean to be in the Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers again?"

Louie didn't have any acting elements after that, saying simply: "It means a war is about to start."
