Wade will go first against Curry.
After Wade finished, Bosh took his turn.
After Bosh finished, LeBron took over.
The Heat's goal was very clear and highly targeted: to find Curry, specifically to exploit his defensive weakness.
Although... Tony Arlin, George, and Su Yan will all help Curry on defense.
To be honest...
When the entire opposing team is focused on attacking one person, and three of them are capable of defeating the opponent one-on-one.
There will definitely be an opportunity.
Curry will inevitably find himself in situations where he has to defend the Heat's Big Three one-on-one.
He really couldn't defend against it.
To be more precise, it wasn't just Curry who couldn't stop them; Tony Allen and George also struggled to contain the Heat's Big Three.
They are leaders of their region, the bosses of their team.
They are really amazing.
They are really hard to contain, especially in the playoffs.
They targeted Curry, making the offense simpler and giving him more options when double teams came in!
This is Coach Spoelstra's tactic.
The tactics are working very well right now. Curry was constantly being one-on-one attacked in the first quarter; he was completely outplayed!
Curry was in a good mood at first.
But as she was repeatedly taken advantage of, and as her body was repeatedly violently assaulted, she endured pain.
Curry's mindset has also changed.
The Heat's strategy was too targeted. Frankly, he's still just a second-year rookie; he can't handle that much pressure!
That was true last year, and it's true this year too.
As a result, after the rotation lineup changed in the second quarter, Curry not only got overwhelmed on the defensive end, but his shooting touch also gradually disappeared.
"Damn it!"
Curry was very upset and in a bad mood.
This is also an area where he needs to grow, after all... this kind of intense, playoff-level targeting will continue throughout his entire career.
"It's okay. Their targeting didn't make us fall behind by many points. We played very well!"
Su Yan comforted Curry.
What he said was true.
When Curry's defense was targeted, he didn't fall behind on offense in the early stages, and Su Yan remained consistently effective on both offense and defense.
The offense can keep up.
On the defensive end, Su Yan, Tony Allen, and George were also able to constantly disrupt the "Heat Big Three".
The two teams were evenly matched.
When Curry's mentality collapsed and his confidence was lost, the team gradually began to decline.
This requires a process.
In the latter part of the second quarter, the Knicks continued to give Curry opportunities, trying to help him regain his confidence.
The team has always needed Curry's three-point shooting from the outside.
Unfortunately... the Heat came out too strong tonight, with too much defensive pressure.
Curry couldn't adapt and got completely outplayed.
Halftime is over.
[Knicks 57:64 Heat]
The Knicks trailed by 7 points.
"The Heat are up by 7 points, which is a significant margin. It seems... LeBron is the better player."
The magician laughed.
"Excellent my ass."
Larry Bird vehemently denied this, saying, "They're just playing a disgusting 'bandwagon game'."
However... even if they stick together for warmth, Su Yan is not afraid.
Just watch, Stephen has used up his time in this game, and Su Yan will take over the game in the second half.
He will once again transform into a "superhero" and save the Knicks!!!
"Oh~"
The magician winked. "I'm kind of looking forward to it!"
Knicks locker room.
Curry leaned back in his chair, drenched in sweat, silent. The relentless targeting had broken his spirits, and he was now extremely frustrated!
"unacceptable!"
George handed Curry a towel.
He roared in defense of Curry, "They've been targeting Stephen all along. The Heat's Big Three are acting like they've never won a game before. They have such a narrow mindset."
"You can't say that."
McGrady shook his head. "This is the playoffs, and more importantly, the Eastern Conference Finals. The winner will advance to the NBA Finals."
Anyone will stop at nothing to win, to win every game by any means necessary, until they lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
The Heat are very clever.
They are playing the ball the right way.
Of course... I'm not praising them; we also have our own strategies and methods.
Stephen wasn't in good form in this match, but he'll adjust gradually. It's okay, we still have Yan.
He can step up and take over the game.
"My problem!"
Curry raised his hand to admit his mistake, saying, "I just didn't play well, and we can't rely on Yan all the time."
"Yes."
George frowned and chimed in, "I've tried my best to defend, but I still can't stop it."
Dwyane, LeBron, and Chris Bosh.
I couldn't defend against any of the three of them.
My fast break, which I thought was a sure thing, went wide of the basket due to their interference.
I played terribly too!
"No no no."
Iverson shook his head. "Listen, Stephen and Paul George, you guys played very well."
As first- or second-year players, your performance in the regional finals was truly outstanding.
Many players like you faced the conference finals, against such a powerful team as the "Heat Big Three".
I was so scared that I couldn't stop trembling all over.
You did a great job.
However… the Heat’s Big Three are too powerful; they are the villains!!!
All three of them are incredibly strong on both offense and defense, to the point of being almost unfair!
This is not your fault!
"Yes."
Coach D'Antoni nodded, smiled, and continued to encourage the players in a relaxed tone: "Guys, all of you relax, don't feel pressured, and stay confident."
Provide as much help as possible to Su Yan.
It doesn't matter if you don't perform well.
But I believe that you confident individuals will find your own rhythm at some point.
They displayed the flair of the "New York Three Youngsters" and provided assistance to the team.
Before that…
Speaking of it.
Coach D'Antoni looked at Su Yan and said seriously, "Yan, you need to play more aggressively in the second half."
The Heat had three players on offense, which looked like team basketball, but in reality... it was just the three of them attacking!
The rest are just supporting elements.
When your teammates are not performing well, you need to step up, launch decisive attacks, and carry the whole team!
"clear."
Su Yan nodded.
He created opportunities for Curry and George in the first half, but he just wanted to play more easily.
after all……
If Curry and George are in good form, and the three young stars all contribute, it will make winning much easier.
Attacking on your own now is also a viable option.
15 minutes.
Passed by.
Go Knicks!
Go New York's "Three Youngsters"!
"The Flame God has descended!"
"Su Yan, we need you, superhero... Show yourself and let the villain Heat feel fear!!!"
"..."
The home fans roared and cheered wildly for the Knicks, completely unleashing their home-court advantage!
The second half.
The game resumes after switching sides.
The Knicks attacked first, and Su Yan dribbled the ball up the court.
Larry Bird's expression changed upon seeing this.
A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Look, the superheroes saving humanity... is about to begin!!!"
