NBA: No. 1 Forward
Chapter 409: Don’t underestimate the scoring ability of any superstar【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
James' height is actually not much different from Lian Dao. He was 2.03 meters when he first entered the league, but he was selected for the NBA as a high school student, and his body is actually still developing.
So now, Lian Dao estimates that James' height is around 2.05 meters, and his wingspan is not as good as Lian Dao's, but although the wingspan of 2.15 meters is not exaggerated, it is still very good.
And strong physical fitness, coupled with a focused defensive attitude, is enough for most players to lose against him.
Lian Dao did not choose singles for his first attack, mainly because the Heat were familiar with Lian Dao's habit of opening three-pointers.
So, Lian Dao could only call a screen, and played a pick-and-roll with Cousins.
If Lian Dao can dislocate in front of Joel Anthony on the pick-and-roll, it is basically equivalent to sending points.
Joel Anthony is very active defensively, and his defense is also very good, but that is against inside players.
At least for defending Lian Dao, Joel Anthony is at a disadvantage in terms of speed and mobility.
Joel Anthony's ability is relatively average, and he is a bit weak as a starter. According to the barrel theory, Joel Anthony's performance may determine the height of the Heat. After all, he is the team's biggest weakness.
Persimmons are picky and soft, which is a player's biggest advantage and avoid disadvantage.
With the help of Cousins' high cover, Lian Dao went to the basket to kill, but Lian Dao found out that the Heat chose to double-team in the first round of the game!
Seeing Lian Dao's breakthrough, James and Joel Anthony both shrunk to the basket. The Heat's defense was very resolute.
Facing a double team, Lian Dao knew that this was not a good opportunity, so he passed the ball to Cousins.
But Joel Anthony immediately defended, and defense is the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the Heat.
Cousins didn't get a shot, so he handed the ball to Holiday again to reorganize.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Knicks' first tentative attack was unsuccessful, and the Heat's defense was very successful.
"The Heat's defensive strategy is very clear. As long as Sickle breaks through, the Heat will immediately shrink the defense. The Knicks' outside line, Tony Allen's offense is not a strong point, which also leads to a sharp drop in the Knicks' outside offensive firepower, so this makes the Heat's The defense was so blatant."
Later, Lian Dao caught the ball in the middle distance and played James with his back.
However, the moment Lian Dao turned over to shoot, he did not expect Wade to arrive at the first time.
Seeing the formation of a double team, Lian Dao immediately shot a fallback jumper, but what Lian Dao didn't expect was that there was a "flyback" shooting bonus, and the ball still hit the basket.
"Damn, is your condition that bad today?" Lian Dao also knew at this time that he might not be in a good condition today.
He is hesitating whether to use the "Peak State Card", the three "Peak State Cards" rewarded after completing the task of "leading the Knicks to the first record in the regular season in 2010-2011", and five bottles of "Physical Recovery Liquid" Haven't used it yet.
But now that it is used, Lian Dao is worried about the next game and what happens in the finals.

You must know that he only has three cards, and if he uses one, he will lose one. The finals plus the Eastern Conference finals will not end in two or three games. Even if he pushes all the way, it will take 8 games. Lian Dao didn't think the Knicks could push all the way.
Lian Dao forcibly suppressed the urge to use the "Peak Status Card". He wanted to see if he could restore his hand feeling through his own adjustments.
The Knicks fans were already planning to cheer, but unfortunately the opening ball was missed, which suppressed the emotions brewing in the fans.
"Oh? Didn't score. It's rare to see Sickle not scoring the opening goal. The Knicks' first attack today was very difficult! It seems that the Miami Heat have done enough homework for the Knicks!"
On the court, Tony Allen was a little uncomfortable. He knew that if his outside offensive threat was not so weak, Wade would not dare to give up easily and choose to help defend Lian Dao.
Bosh grabbed the rebound before Stoudemire, and he switched offense and defense in an instant.
Tony Allen is determined to give Wade a good look on the offensive end. It is difficult for him to contribute on the offensive end, so he is determined to make up for it on the defensive end.
However, in the first round, the Heat did not attack Wade.
James ran back to get rid of Lian Dao for a short time, then received a pass from Mike Bibby, and chose to shoot a three-pointer directly from the outside.
James's sudden outside three-pointer caught Lian Dao off guard.
Although James has a three-point ability, it is only 33%. His three-point attempts in each game are not very high!
Therefore, Lian Dao's strategy for defending James is also more inclined to defend against breakthroughs.
As a result, another surprise for Lian Dao was that James shot directly from outside the three-point line.
James' key ball ability is not bad, especially in the Heat, as long as he has the opportunity, he really dares to shoot, but he really dares to get close.
Even Michael Jordan back then had a three-pointer in the regular season, but he showed his power in the playoffs.
Don't think that Jordan's performance in the three-point contest is poor, just think that Jordan has no three-point ability. You must know that before 2010, the halftime three-point record in the finals was always maintained by Jordan.
In the 1992 Finals, facing the Trail Blazers' three-pointer "release", Jordan scored 6 three-pointers in the halftime, and this halftime three-pointer record has been maintained until 2010.
Last year, Ray Allen broke this record when facing the defending champion Lakers.
At that time, in the second game of the finals, Ray Allen made 7 three-pointers in the half, 8 three-pointers in the whole game, and 8 of 11 three-pointers in the whole game.
And Jordan's weak three-pointers can reach Ray Allen's strong three-pointers.
So, don't underestimate the scoring ability of any superstar.
Even if sometimes their data is not so good, they can't relax easily, otherwise, if they are not careful, they may become the background board!
James is like this this time, Lian Dao gave him a chance, and he shot decisively.
In the end, the basketball went into the net hollow, causing some splashes, and the Heat started 3:0!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWade saw James' domineering shot, and excitedly gave his good brother James a high-five to celebrate.
Although James' shooting is not very stable, it often explodes. James made this opening three-pointer, and Wade knew that James should feel very good in this game.

James is also a big-game player. The more important the game is, the more stable his mentality is. This season, he has been under a lot of pressure, so he will never allow himself to fail in the conference finals.
After high-fiving, James said to Lian Dao, "This is the Heat, kid!"
Lian Dao held back his mouth and didn't say anything. Whoever asked him to cook, those who failed had no right to speak.
Seeing Lian Dao's gloomy face~www.mtl.com~, James didn't refute. Now he feels like drinking a glass of ice water in summer, feeling refreshed from head to toe.
"Sure enough, that guy Dwyane didn't lie to me, talking trash, it's really cool!"
James scored a three-pointer at the beginning of the game, and rarely spat trash at Lian Dao.
James is not a master of trash talk, and he doesn't talk trash often. James believes in "strengthening miracles". Regarding trash talk, James always thinks it is an outside trick.
But I can't stand the contemporary "pushing king" Wade. This guy is a master of trash talk, especially after James came to the Heat, under the influence of Wade, he has learned badly.
Of course, he is not very good at talking trash now. If it were Wade, he would definitely not talk like that.
However, Lian Dao is not in a hurry to respond with trash talk. If he wants to spray back, he needs to show his performance, otherwise, the person who can only talk trash is the king of talking.
In the second round, Lian Dao and Holiday cooperated.
He and Holiday set a simple screen on the perimeter, keeping Mike Bibby behind him.
Mike Bibby's defense and organization are inherently poor, which means that the Heat don't need point guards to organize. Players like James and Wade need to attack with the ball, and these two can directly attack in tandem , Don't need a point guard to organize.
The Heat used him as a three-point fort to help the Big Three open up space.
Mike Bibikong has tendons, but he can't use them. He was firmly blocked by Lian Dao, and he couldn't catch up at all.
James switched defenses to Holiday's side and stuck to Holiday's breakthrough route.
But Holiday was not afraid at all, turned around in disguise, broke through to the basket, and took off for a layup!
