Chapter 697 Embracing a Single Strand! My prowess has never been limited to just 3 points!
"Yup!"
Gortat was also shocked: "I thought the three-pointer was Stephen's strongest offensive weapon."
He played really well tonight too.
Three points fell like rain.
When the defense is upgraded, focus on his three-pointers, force him to drive, and play offenses that he is not good at.
I thought... I could easily defend against him.
Really.
I was all ready to give Stephen a big block, but... I couldn't defend against it at all.
"You've made quite a bit of progress, Stephen!"
Wade paused for a moment: "If it's just Su Yan alone, we can still defeat him by using a series of attacks."
If Stephen develops into an excellent combo guard, and also has a superb three-point shot...
That's really difficult to deal with.
That's really bad.
That's not good news for us.
"Humph!"
LeBron snorted: "We have a Big Four lineup, even if Stephen plays well."
We don't need to be afraid.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, showcasing the aggressive spirit of our "Big Four".
Offense and defense, we slap each other across the face.
"of course."
Wade smiled slightly: "I'm just acknowledging Stephen's progress and admitting that the Knicks are not fighting alone now."
But I never thought we would lose.
It seems... I need to further increase my defensive intensity. Even if I can't stop Stephen, I need to put enough pressure on him!
Pause back.
Wade proactively approached Curry, pounced on him, and gave him a very strong defensive presence, not giving him any chance.
Curry remained calm.
His skillful ball control allowed him to constantly create space for Vedra and find suitable opportunities to break through.
If you can't hit a three-pointer, then drive to the basket. If you can't drive, you can still draw the defense and create good opportunities for your teammates to attack the basket.
such as……
Curry's high lob during a drive assisted Chandler for a successful layup.
In the next possession, Curry drove in again and, despite being entangled by Wade, delivered a beautiful behind-the-back pass to Tony Allen in the left corner.
Completely open space.
Su Yan drew the defense's attention, and with Curry's brilliant pass, Tony Allen got this opportunity.
Tony Allen is also a "3D player".
He was given a wide-open shot, a three-point opportunity, and he had a decent shooting touch. This shot...?!
"Shh!"
The ball flew into the basket with pinpoint accuracy, like a cannonball.
Tonight, Curry, the "championship's second-in-command," caused the Heat a lot of trouble with his three-pointers, drives, and passes!
Halftime is over.
Under intense defensive pressure from Su Yan, Curry stepped up, combining offense and passing to help the team establish a 7-point lead.
[Knicks 65:58 Heat]
The Knicks went into halftime with a lead at home.
Back for the second half.
Both teams intensified their defenses, seemingly determined to make the game a Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The first game of the new season.
Both of these title favorites will certainly want to defeat their opponent, win the game, and achieve victory.
We have to fight, fight tooth and nail.
With defensive intensity at maximum, the game becomes a physical brawl, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in offensive efficiency!
This was inevitable.
Therefore... protecting the rim will be crucial for both teams.
Whoever secures the rebounds has greater confidence in their shooting, which increases their accuracy!
then.
The key matchup in the third quarter turned into a duel between "Rebounding Monster" Tyson Chandler and "Borland Hammer" Marcin Gortat!
