Chapter 164 I Will Give The Team Victory

At 29:24, Li Hai scored 13 points in the first quarter, and led the team to establish a 5-point advantage when O'Neal broke out early.

It is impossible for the Heat's rotation players to explode every game. In the first half of the second quarter, the Knicks led by up to 10 points in offensive power from the bench.

But after Wade came on the court, he scored consecutive points and recovered the score by 5 points. Li Hai broke out with a strong attack power again, and even went to the basket twice, causing O'Neal to foul.

O'Neal was really tired. In the first game, at least one of the two fouls he made would have been blocked, but now O'Neal's body can't keep up with the reaction.

"See, we're going to win the game. The longer the series goes, the better it is for us. They're starting to lose us. They're tired."

Li Hai encouraged his teammates loudly, and he looked very excited.

"Li, are you okay, pay attention to physical problems." Marbury asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, my usual exercise is not fake... Don't worry, Knicks is not just me."

Li Hai won't be as big as Arenas, and he doesn't need it. He just needs to drive the Knicks' enthusiasm and help the team maintain an advantage at critical moments.

In the whole series, Li Hai had already played very tough, but now he has added more strength, Antoine Walker's defense immediately became a display, and James Posey was not good either, his physical speed and judgment could not keep up. Come up, not relying on enthusiasm can stop him.

"Li Hai, it's Li Hai again. He played crazy today. The Heat can't defend against his excellent mid-range shooting skills. They lack a strong defender."

"It still needs Wade to stand up. Wade has passed all the Knicks' backcourt players in this series. His mid-range shooting is also very stable. Compared with last year's playoffs, it has improved by three grades."

"I believe the fans are all looking forward to the matchup between Li Hai and Wade, but they don't have that intention yet. They are focused on showing the charm of CIC, and they all want to use offense to defeat the opponent."

In the second quarter, Li Hai scored another 12 points, 25 points in the half, which was also his new high in the half.

Wade scored 16 points in the half, which is almost his usual level. He is really the strongest of the Heat.

Still maintaining a 5-point advantage, Li Hai's offense gave his teammates strong confidence.

"Continue to strengthen the defense on the inside, and I will take care of things on the outside."

Li Hai said domineeringly, but no one would think it was wrong at this time. In the second half, Li Hai would still defend Wade. If Wade could be restricted to a certain extent, the rest of the Knicks would be fine as long as they kept an eye on O'Neal.

The problem of role players The Knicks don't need to make any targets. As long as they play their games well, they will definitely be better than the Heat in the player rotation stage.

The Heat also require the players to do their own things well. As long as they play a combination of inside and outside, the Knicks' defense will have problems. If Wade keeps his touch, it will be even more difficult for Li Hai to defend. After all, Li Hai needs to start faster. Slow down, if the defense is in place, the thing that made him hit O'Neal like in the first half should not happen.

The Heat are confident that they can block Li Hai when he is starting up. In that case, Li Hai can only choose CIC. CIC is a technology that is difficult to prevent and maintain stability. It depends on the interference methods over there. alright.

After entering the third quarter, even the Heat didn't expect Li Hai to play so resolutely.

The feeling of his shot is a bit like Crawford, and the decisiveness seems to be in shooting practice.

It just so happens that the Heat's small forward position is where their defense is weakest.

Regarding Walker's defense, Pat Riley couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing that Li Hai was still scoring consecutive points, he directly asked Haslem and Walker to switch defenses.

Haslem's defense was ferocious enough, but for Li Hai, his pace was too slow.

And if Walker is put on the inside defense, it is also a hidden danger, but the Heat can't control so much now, they hope that switching defenses will have a miraculous effect.

But they were immediately disappointed. Li Hai felt hot this time. Channing Frye mentioned to cover him near the three-point line. Li Hai bypassed the defender and hit a jumper.

In this game, the Knicks were like last year's team. They fired all kinds of shots from the outside. Li Hai sprinted quickly when he got the ball in the backcourt, and he couldn't stop it at all.

If O'Neill can only play in a satisfactory manner, Wade alone cannot suppress Li Hai.

Li Hai gave the Heat the feeling that they met the Cavaliers in the regular season, and James also killed them unreasonably, which made them feel that their team had deficiencies in defense.

Even if the defense was changed, Li Hai still had no impact. He scored 15 points in the third quarter.

The Heat finally felt the tension. Wade only rested for 30 seconds in the third quarter, and the kick was replaced again.

Li Hai was still young, and it was no problem to continue to fight for seven or eight games. When he changed to the court again, Li Haihe stood in front of Wade.

Wade couldn't help being surprised by Li Hai's physical strength. Of course, he had seen guys with more exaggerated physical strength, but the feeling that Li Hai had suddenly improved by a level made him a little uncomfortable.

Because he put too much energy into the offensive end, Wade's current defense can only be said to be at an average level. After this fight with Li Hai, he made up his mind. It is necessary to improve the defensive level, and Te must become the ruler on both ends of the offense and defense.

While defending Wade, Li Hai did not give up on offense, which was a rare situation for him, but at this critical moment, he had to stand out on both ends of the offense and defense.

"Finally at this time, Li Hai directly faced Wade, and Wade squeezed in, very fast. Under Li Hai's interference, he seemed to have lost his balance... Still went in, Wade's throw, It's definitely a top attack capability."

"On rare occasions, Wade faced Li Hai on the defensive end, Li Hai made a tentative step, and Wade didn't lose his position at all, what kind of attack method would Li Hai choose... Li Hai turned his back and went inside to fight hard. , turn over jump shot, Li Hai hits the shot by using the height, really solid basic skills.”

The score between the two sides was very tight. In 3 minutes, Antoine Walker hit a three-pointer, shortening the gap between the two sides to 2 points.

In an instant, even the fans became nervous. As long as there is something wrong with the Knicks at this time, this season will be over for them.

Li Hai was also very nervous, but he acted very calmly. When the team paused, he said calmly: "Give me the ball, and I will give the team the victory."
