The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

The suggestions of the TNT commentators were not followed. In the first quarter, Curry was not replaced early, but instead played for a full 11 minutes, only 1 minute ahead of Zuo Li.

Yes, Zuo Li played the entire first quarter, not because Zuo Li didn't want to rest, but because he couldn't rest, and the reason why he couldn't rest in the first quarter was that Curry played 11 minutes.

It sounds a bit of a mouthful, but that's the way it is.

Curry, who was crazily targeted, once again became a breakthrough for the Knicks. James, and even the substitutes replaced by the Heat took the initiative to use pick-and-rolls to hit him, and the effect was just now. Janeway scored 18 points in a single quarter and scored consecutively. In the 10-point scoring wave, 18 of the 14 points were scored directly against Curry.

This situation made Zuo Li unable to leave the field, because in order to make up for Curry's gap, everyone else was devoted to defense, and the offense was not smooth. No one except Zuo Li could score stably, so Zuo Li played the entire quarter.

18分5篮板2封盖，左立单节交出恐怖的数据，一个人顶住了詹韦联手冲击，让尼克斯单节28-30只落后2分。

But that's an unhealthy scoring ratio.

In the ESPN live broadcast room, guest commentator Magic Johnson expressed his concerns:

"Zuo Li was the MVP in the first quarter. There is no doubt that although James and Wade played well, could score, and played with their own rhythm, Zuo Li is still the better one. He is carrying the Knicks forward."

"However, whether this situation can last for a whole game, even though he is left-handed, there are many feats of 50+ or ​​even 60+ in a single game in the playoffs, it is also a question mark."

"He played the full first quarter, which is too tiring. Even if he can play the full three quarters, can he still maintain such a shooting percentage and such a scoring touch? After all, basketball is a sport of five people, no matter how strong one is. , and it is difficult to lead the team to win all the time.”

"That's right," said the narrator Jimmy.

"Zuo Li is very strong, but the rest of the Knicks played mediocre. In fact, it is understandable. This is the playoffs. The Knicks put a lot of energy on the defensive end, especially David Lee. He worked very hard. After all, he is not Lando. Husband, other guys, they're not All-Stars, so they need a second guy."

"Stephen Curry, he has been playing such a role this season. Before this round of playoffs, he averaged 21.4 points per game and made 2.5 three-pointers per game. He is a qualified second master. But in this round, especially at the beginning of G3, he averaged only 11.2 points per game, and his turnovers doubled from 2.4 per game to 5.1 per game! This is a terrible number. The score is currently ranked second to last among all playoff teams, thanks to his teammate Zuo Li who played too hard in the first two rounds, otherwise he would be at the bottom."

"Today in the first quarter, he had 0 points, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He basically had zero effects, even side effects. He didn't even take a single three-point shot."

"In this situation..."

Jimmy didn't say it clearly, but the meaning he expressed was similar to what TNT and other mainstream forums said before.

That is, whether the Knicks can consider changing guards.

In fact, D'Antoni has not thought about it, after all, he is not stupid, how could he not understand the Heat's tactics.

It can be said that the Heat are purely gambling tactics. Let Zuo Li play and cut off the connection between Zuo Li and the shooter is the first strategy.

Have to say, it does work.

From a rational point of view, the strength of the Knicks lineup is not as good as last year. Randolph's departure from the team is indeed a big impact, which makes it a little difficult for the Knicks to use the combination of position, running and bombing to dominate the league.

But this was solved by Zuo Li and the Knicks coaching staff with genius ideas. The super running and shooting tactics made the Knicks invincible in the regular season.

However, after researching for so long, the Heat finally discovered the Knicks' problem. Firstly, except for Zuo Li, everyone else is too tender. The defense is actually getting worse, especially the first position. Curry was not good at all, and Dragic was replaced by the old Nash. This is the opportunity for the Heat.

What is James best at?

Tank six-step layup?

Crab step jumper?

Do not!

neither!

What James is best at is actually the pick and roll!

If the pick-and-roll is not allowed, James' power will be reduced by 7%.

So the Heat practiced for the entire season and finally played such a game.

I have to say that Riley and Spoelstra are amazing.

At this time, D'Antoni's change is actually the best.

However, Curry worked hard.

It's not that he doesn't defend, it's just that his body really can't bear it.

D'Antoni is very aware of Curry's efforts, so he is unwilling to replace him in advance. Curry is also a guard who he thinks has very, very, very potential. Such a change will easily damage his self-confidence, and may even affect his future career. career.

So D'Antoni has been thinking, since a few days ago, how to solve this dilemma.

but……

He hasn't found it yet.

On the Knicks' bench, Curry was panting exhaustedly. He had already tried his best to defend, and even wanted to use his body to confront Janeway head-on. This made Curry very frustrated, and at the same time wanted to prove himself very much.

However, it turns out that he might really not be able to...

"Coach, no..."

"I'd better go down."

For the first time, Curry expressed positively that he did not want to fight.

"No need, Stephen, the game is not your business alone." Zuo Li patted Curry on the shoulder.

I have to say that the Heat's move is really powerful. It not only hit Curry, but also restrained Zuo Li. After all, Randolph is not there, and David Lee's defense is average. Empty, and Anderson and him overlap somewhat, and the effect of changing it is mediocre and offensive, which makes Curry have to face the two directly.

He can see Curry's efforts.

To be honest, there is no solution to this matter. After all, some people are born with poor conditions. This is fundamentally different from those who do not work hard to defend, but there is no solution. After all, Curry will be an important player in the future. Also a big problem.

"Coach, I think, since I've been targeted, I can't prevent it even if I try hard. Why don't I send it in, let me defend it, replace Dream Chaser, and do something."

"As for Curry, let him concentrate on attacking, don't defend!"

"what??!!"

The coach hadn't spoken yet, and Curry was stunned.

Not defensive?

That's Janeway, they are afraid when they go crazy, can they win? !
