Chapter 316: Why is it different from the Knicks I played before?

After Lian Dao took a few tentative steps with the ball, he suddenly accelerated and rushed to the inside. James hurriedly blocked Lian Dao's breakthrough route.

Lian Dao immediately stopped and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Although James struggled to take off and block shots, Lian Dao's height and wingspan were better than James's, and he bounced. Lian Dao, who won the slam dunk contest champion, did not lose to James. some distance.

He could only watch Lian Dao make a move.

"brush!"

"Sickle singles James, a classic matchup at the 3rd position, oh, James' wingspan is not enough, he didn't interfere with Sickle's shooting!" Looking at the two who met the first ball in the opening game, Mike Breen also Very excited.

"If Durant is basically misaligned playing any player in the league, then Sickle is absolutely misaligned playing any player in the league!" Jeff Van Gundy also said with emotion.

Lian Dao hit a fadeaway jumper under the defense of James at the beginning of the game, which caused the American Airlines Center to boo immediately, but then cheered for the Heat's offense.

James also decided to respond to the Heat's next offense.

In this era, if an opponent can respond offensively after scoring a goal against him, he will be considered tough; otherwise, he will be called a softie if he dares not respond.

And James is obviously not a softie.

After passing the ball several times, the basketball finally returned to James' hands. Wade and Bosh also opened up space for him to play singles.

James doesn't have too many fancy things in his playing. You rarely see him in any gorgeous disguise. Just a word, just shoot in with the ball!

Playing against James, Lian Dao would always be bruised and purple after a game. This guy is like a big bull, but for a player like a defender, apart from pain, Lian Dao doesn't make much trouble.

"Peng!" The muffled sound of the collision of muscles made D'Antoni on the sidelines get goosebumps all over his body.

Lian Dao was in pain from being hit, but his footsteps did not retreat in the slightest, and he was still firmly against James.

James is not feeling well right now. He used to hit Lian Dao with a trick that easily knocked players away. He always failed. Last season, it was still effective, but this season it seems that this guy’s strength has become stronger again. Unmoved by the impact.

"What a freak!"

After sighing in his heart, James turned around leaning on Lian Dao and rushed inside.

But Lian Dao followed James tightly all the time, leaning on Lian Dao to the basket, James forced a layup!

But under the fierce confrontation of Lian Dao and the interference of the long arm, James' layup unexpectedly went out of the frame!

James' tough response to the first goal was restrained by Lian Dao's tougher defense!

"James is still attacking like a tank. He shot from the inside and missed. Lian Dao defended really well. The ball was too tough! It had to be done like this. James' shot was unreasonable. Lian Dao's long wingspan is not just for display. !"

Mr. Zhang Lili, as the commentator of CCTV's live broadcast, saw Lian Dao's tough defense, and his "reasonable" quotations were once again offered!

"Shet!" James cursed secretly, and hurried back to defense.

Why, every time I meet the guy opposite, I will deflate myself.

He originally thought that he could defeat Lian Dao in all aspects of statistics today, but the first ball in the opening game gave James a thunderous blow.

However, through the first round of the contest, James also knew that hand-to-hand combat must be indispensable in this game!

The fans at the American Airlines Arena were still loudly cheering for their home team. After the instability of the Big Three at the beginning of the season, the current Big Three has reached an initial tacit understanding.

And the previous twelve consecutive victories also made Miami fans full of confidence in the Big Three.

James is deflated on the offensive end and needs to be recovered on the defensive end. He's more focused on the defensive end.

Obviously this time James wants to toughen himself, but Lian Dao doesn't want to harden himself with James.

This time, Lian Dao kept using his teammates and opponents to make interspersed moves, after attracting the attention of all Heat players.

Holiday suddenly broke through with the ball and caught Mario Chalmers by surprise.

Although the Heat formed the Big Three, they also paid a high price. At least if they aimed to win the championship, their configuration at the first and fifth positions was obviously unqualified, and Chalmers was also the Like Fisher, he has been criticized since the beginning of this season.

After all, many times Chalmers plays the role of a serving machine holding the ball across half court in this team, and James has been taking care of organizing the offense.

The point is that Chalmers has no defensive ability yet, limited by his physical athletic ability and height, Chalmers' defense has not been very good.

Holiday looked like he was about to pass the ball to Lian Dao, who had been actively running, but with a sudden acceleration, Chalmers passed cleanly.

Holiday, who got to the inside, changed hands and scored a layup in the face of Big Z's supplementary defense.

James looked at Holiday, who scored a layup, and Lian Dao, who was standing on the outside and high-fiving his teammates. He felt that he was being played around by Lian Dao like a fool.

The biggest difference between the Knicks and last season is growth!

When Lian Dao was restricted last season, few people could stand up to help Lian Dao share the pressure.

But after you have been baptized throughout the season, many people in the Knicks have grown a lot now, especially Holiday and Millsap, who can stand up and score when Lian Dao is restricted.

This is why after Stoudemire was injured, the Knicks still firmly believe that they can beat the Heat.

The reason why they lost to the Heat before was largely because they had just completed 25 consecutive victories. After losing to the Celtics, they have not recovered, including Lian Dao.

James also knows that it seems that Knicks has changed a lot and is much more difficult to deal with than before.

"The opening was 4:0. I guess the Heat didn't expect this opening. The victory in the game a few days ago made the Heat look down on the Knicks. They thought that locking Sickle was the same as locking the entire Knicks, but the opening proved that they were wrong. Already!"

The cheers at the American Airlines Center obviously dissipated a lot. In the eyes of many fans, without Stoudemire's Knicks, it is impossible to hold the Big Three of the Heat.

However, after the Knicks really showed their strength in this game, they gave the fans of the American Airlines Center a thunderous blow.

It was the Heat's offense again, and James knew that if he wanted to win this game, he must not go head-to-head with Lian Dao.

This time, James and Wade played a pick-and-roll tactic, James set a screen for Wade, then cut to the basket, and then received a pass from Wade for a dunk This tactic is also when they are winning streak I found out that playing against the Knicks before was also unsuccessful.

After all, although Danny Green has excellent defense, he is still a bit worse according to James.

However, a trick that had been tried and failed before, also failed this time.

Tony Allen didn't lose his position when they switched defenses, but squeezed past James' screen abruptly and returned to Wade!

And Lian Dao still stays around James at all times, no defense changes, no opportunities, there is no such thing as!

This is, Tony Allen's defense!

His physical strength allows him to defend from the 1st position to the 3rd position without losing the wind!

This is also the reason why there are so many big names in the free market throughout the summer, and Lian Dao only calls for Tony Allen by name!

As long as Tony Allen is there, Lian Dao's perimeter defense can be much easier!

"It's really a beautiful defense. Zhan Wei cooperated with the iron wall built by Sickle and Tony Allen. It was invalid for the first time in this game!"

Faced with Tony Allen's oppression, Wade finally chose to pass the ball to James.

But under Lian Dao's close defense, James did not receive the basketball. As soon as Lian Dao stretched his arm, he cut off Wade's pass midway.

Dwyane, you made a mistake!

"Oh, it's Sickle, he cut off Dwyane's pass. I'm afraid Dwyane has forgotten that Sickle is the best defensive player!" As soon as Jeff Van Gundy finished speaking, Lian Dao sent a long pass to Kuai Xia Holiday.

Holiday rode Juechen to the frontcourt, and directly dunked the ball into the basket through the interfering Chalmers!

Defensive counterattack, this is the Knicks' forte! This season, the Knicks dare to be second in defensive counterattacks. No team dares to be the first!
