Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 270: Breaking Tianwang Mountain!The balance of victory tilts towards New York!

In the second quarter, the Knicks were paired with Felton and Butler in the backcourt, and the other three were Bazemore, Stoudemire, and McGee.

Stoudemire rested for more than three minutes in the first quarter, and it was just right to come up with the substitutes at this time.

Although Lu Yong is not a coach who mindlessly increases the playing time of his main players, at this point in the series, he no longer cares about playing healthy basketball. When the stars should play their role, they must step up and take over the game. This is also their role. Players are fundamentally different and need to take on more responsibilities at critical moments.

At first glance, the Knicks' second lineup doesn't seem to be that outstanding, but if there are people as open-minded as Lu Yong, they will definitely scream when they see the Knicks' lineup on the court.

If these five people are all in their prime, they can form a team in the Eastern Conference and make the playoffs. Even if Butler and Bazemore have not yet reached their peak, the inside combination of Stoudemire + McGee still cannot be underestimated. , it’s enough to be a substitute for the Heat.

The Heat's five substitutes: Chalmers, Mike Miller, Lewis, Haslem, and Joel Anthony, are not much different from the previous games.

James and Way will come back in about 3 minutes. This is Spoelstra's usual substitution routine. In the second quarter, the substitutes will be allowed to hold on for a while, and then they will get two stars at once, catching the opponent off guard.

Unfortunately, the Knicks' second lineup is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone.

Even if James comes back, he still has the strength to fight, let alone face five substitutes.

The Knicks' tactics are not complicated. Felton and Stoudemire play a pick-and-roll in the middle. Bazemore drops to the corner and waits to catch the ball and shoot. Butler uses off-ball screens to cut through and find opportunities with McGee to score. .

Big McGee finally had a powerful performance today. After covering the weak side, he cut inside and relied on his body to hit the basket after receiving a pass from Felton. It was not difficult to beat Joel Anthony.

Stoudemire fell to the strong side and played pick-and-roll, attracting most of the defense for McGee. The Knicks twin towers used their absolute crushing dominance to destroy the Heat inside.

Lu Yong's tactics in the first few games revolved around Anthony, with JR Smith leading the bench, which did not have such a big advantage.Today, he started around Deron and played tactics around the Twin Towers as a substitute. The Heat were very uncomfortable and were caught off guard.

The Knicks have adjusted their tactics, but the Heat have remained unchanged. They are still the same people on the bench, how can they not fall behind?

The inside combination of Haslem + Joel Anthony is far worse than the New York Twin Towers, and their personal abilities are not at the same level at all.

Two minutes later, Spoelstra also realized that playing like this was not going to work, so he could only call a timeout to replace James in advance and let him lead the team.

But the Heat are now 20 points behind, and the situation is very unfavorable.

5 minutes later, Lu Yong replaced Bazemore, played Anthony, and the other four continued to play.

While the Knicks stabilized the rhythm, they also added Anthony to play singles with the ball, which made him stronger in positional warfare and quickly penetrated the Heat's defense.

If Wade and Bosh hadn't come back in time, the game would have been defeated in the first half of the quarter.

At halftime, 64 to 41, the Knicks led by 23 points.

In the third quarter, Deron Williams and Tyson Chandler, who had rested for a long time, returned to the court. The other three were Anthony, Butler, and Turkoglu.

Stoudemire is temporarily sitting off the court to rest. He is more effective with the substitutes. With Deron + Anthony supporting him, Stoudemire does not have to rush back.

In this quarter, the Heat relied on the performance of the Big Three to chase the point difference to within 20 points.

In theory, the Heat still have the possibility of winning, but fans watching the game know that the Knicks played too smoothly today, and it will be difficult for the Heat to make a successful comeback in the last quarter.In the final quarter, Ray Allen, who scored 22 points, had physical problems and his shooting efficiency dropped. He took 4 consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line and missed the best opportunity to chase points.

Wade also came off the court to rest for a while. The Knicks seized the opportunity to hit a climax, and the Heat completely collapsed.

To be precise, the person who collapsed was James.

He only rested for a total of 3 minutes tonight. In the first half of the last quarter, he led the team to chase points and was beaten 14-3 by the Knicks. His expression was very ugly.

Once a player's morale drops, his game state will also be affected.

James has rich experience in the playoffs, but he is no longer interested in playing. He called a timeout and left the game early to rest.

Anthony did not get used to the Heat. Even when James was off the court, he still attacked fiercely. In the final quarter, he scored consecutive points with sudden outside shots and beat Sean Battier.

Deron Williams practiced three-pointers before the game, and he did not disappoint. He hit two in a row in this quarter, and Anthony and Anthony sent the game into garbage time.

The entire Madison Square Garden was in an uproar, with fans standing up and shouting, filled with joy and excitement.

Lu Yong replaced all the main players 4 minutes later and sent in Felton, Bazemore, Novak, Kenyon Martin and Oden.The offensive dominance was gone, but the enthusiasm was still there, and the lead was maintained until the end.

Seeing this, Spoelstra stopped struggling and used the dead ball to replace all the main players.

There is no need to waste the energy of the main players in a game that they know they cannot win. The Heat still have a chance to equalize in the next game.

Of course, although Spoelstra has been comforting himself in his heart, he knows that the Knicks have a much greater chance of winning the series than the Heat, and the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards the Knicks.

At the end, 116 to 89, the Knicks defeated Tianwangshan by 27 points, and the score was rewritten to 3 to 2.

The best performer was Deron Williams, who played 33 minutes and scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, with a shooting percentage of over 50%.

安东尼打了34分钟，18投9中，三分球7中3，罚球6中5，得到26分4篮板2助攻。“小霸王”斯塔德迈尔表现也不差，12投7中，罚球7中5，得到19分11篮板2盖帽。

After the game, when the Knicks got the match point, the media changed their tone one after another and took their ability to adapt to the wind to the extreme.

After the first four games, the experts who were optimistic about the Heat's promotion shut up. They turned around and praised the Knicks for their sharp tactics and decisive offensive and defensive tactics. They repeated the same words they praised the Heat for a few days ago. They were really shameless.

Lu Yong found it funny after reading the news. He always treated these reporters' words as fart, and believing any more than they said was an insult to his intelligence.

Without them jumping out to criticize in the playoffs, the NBA would lose more than half of the fun. From the perspective of talk shows, they can be regarded as making a huge contribution to the fans.

Currently, the online support rate for the Knicks' advancement has reached 85%. Except for some star fans who are unwavering, neutral fans have all turned to the Knicks.

The Heat are very strong, but they always feel like they are in trouble in front of the Knicks. Without the help of the referees, whether they can drag the series into a tiebreaker is a question.
