Chapter 181 Each has its own worries!
A 2-0 trail means that the opponent can get the match point as long as he wins one more game, and he will win the entire series with two more games.
There are teams in history who can complete a comeback while falling behind 0-2. Although this situation is rare, there is still hope. The Heat lost the first two games and it is not yet time to despair. The problem is that these two games were lost by big scores!
It doesn't matter if you lose the game, but losing a big score means that the strength of both sides is too large.
The Heat fans stopped doing it, and the Heat media stopped doing it.
The first thing is to scold the referee, saying that the referee favors the Knicks. Zhou Mubai can average 8.5 fouls per game, and averaging 15 points per game with free throws alone. With so many fouls, it is definitely possible that the referee favors the Knicks.
The referee expressed his grievance - in terms of the Heat's defensive intensity and Zhou Mubai's average breakthroughs, I still counted his free throws!
Since entering the playoffs, Zhou Mubai has averaged 26.1 breakthroughs per game, which is hard to imagine in this era. The space in this era is not as good as later. The smaller the space, the lower the efficiency of breakthrough, so reducing breakthroughs is a natural choice.
Even in the small ball era, there will be no more than 20 personal breakthroughs, and the team will not make more than 60 breakthroughs.
The Knicks averaged 44 breakthroughs per game, while Zhou Mubai's breakthrough alone accounted for more than half.
In this case, Zhou Mubai averaged 8.5 fouls per game, which is actually within a reasonable range. After all, Harden averaged 19.7 breakthroughs per game and also received 11.2 free throws. Although it is less than Zhou Mubai, this is also normal, because the Rockets have better space, and the Knicks' space is still much worse now. With many people, the chance of fouls will be higher.
Zhou Mubai's finishing ability at the basket is much stronger than Harden. In order to stop Zhou Mubai from taking a layup, the Heat can only use fouls to stop him.
After scolding the referee and scolding the head coach, the head coach is the soul of the team. If you lose the ball, the head coach will definitely take the blame.
The player who lost the ball naturally has a responsibility, but the head coach has the biggest blame. Fans who don’t know the right and wrong criticize Spolstra on various social platforms, making him useless.
The players did not avoid it, and Wade was the first to be the one. After all, he is the team's well-deserved leader.
Wade averaged 26.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists in the regular season. In these two games, Wade averaged 17 points, 3.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds. The branch line fell in scoring, and the efficiency value could not be seen.
Of course they knew that Wade's efficiency was reduced because of Zhou Mubai, but because of this, he wanted to criticize. You, Wade, a platinum generation in 2003, was at his peak. In the finals, MVP, a man known as the Flash, Jordan, who was 5 cm short, was you forced to this level by a rookie?
Other players can't escape this, especially Beasley, the second-tier player, who was criticized for his personal misconduct. The series looks good, but the efficiency is actually not high. It is completely invisible at critical moments. Fans don't scold him, anyone.
In the end, even Pat Riley couldn't escape, and fans scolded Pat Riley for having poor operations in recent seasons.
The conscience of the Heat, the Heat won the championship in 2006, and then O'Neal was old, Pat Riley also exchanged the old O'Neal for a Marion, which was already a superb method.
As for picking off Beasley, there is actually no problem. Beasley is the best choice in terms of physical talent and technology. Who can tell that his mental attributes are so powerful?
But this is how fans are. You are cute when you win, and you are unhappy when you lose.
Generally speaking, the media still understands football than fans, but they want to make money. What fans like is their way of making money, so they also follow the fans to scold the Heat, from management to coaching staff, from players to logistics staff, don’t worry about anything else, just scold them.
Pat Riley is actually fine. He has experienced too many ups and downs and is used to being scolded. Coach Spoelstra is under greater pressure and the players are under greatest pressure, especially Beasley.
He was young and was scolded all the way. The pressure was long since he was overwhelmed. This time he became the last straw, completely crushing him, and he looked depressed.
The Knicks and his party arrived in Miami. In April, Miami was shining brightly, and the girls all had hot pants and T-shirts, which were particularly enthusiastic.
Compared to the Heat's depression, the Knicks and their team are much more relaxed. Holding two wins in hand, there is too much room for maneuver. As long as you win one home game in Miami, it is a foregone conclusion that the Knicks advance to the next round.
Coach D'Antoni smiled when passing by, but could not hide his current worries.
The Heat are not a team that gives up easily, Pat Riley is even a bloody old wolf. Whoever dares to underestimate Pat Riley may be bitten off a piece of meat.
It has always been difficult to play away, it is difficult to play in the regular season, and it is even harder to play in the playoffs. The Devil's home court is not a joke.
The Heat are good at defense, and this characteristic will be fully utilized at home. The so-called home advantage is not just a saying.
Many of the yelling on the court are subjective, and just a little bit of grasping the scale is enough to make people feel troubled.
This is still one thing. Now the Knicks are leading by 2:0. If they win a game in Miami, the series will probably end in five games. It is not a good thing for the league. In the NBA's playoffs, the income of tens of millions of dollars is not a joke, especially for big dogs like the Knicks. If they can play a few more games in Madison Garden Plaza, the league's income will have to be tens of millions of dollars.
NBA earns only about US$4 billion per year. If you arrange a few more playoff games, you can earn tens of millions of dollars more. Why not do it?
So, when the home court in Miami, the Heat have all the right time, place and people. The Knicks now seem to be stronger than the Heat, but this strength is only relative. If you cannot get a fair penalty, it is not impossible for the Heat to beat two consecutive games.
Players can relax temporarily, but the coach cannot. If even the coach relaxes, it will be a disaster.
After all, D'Antoni was still not very relieved. After arriving at the hotel, he quietly found Zhou Mubai and told him about his concerns.
Zhou Mubai listened patiently to D'Antoni's nagging. D'Antoni was still old and said more to his trusted disciples. Zhou Mubai's patience is not comparable to that of young people. After listening patiently, he comforted: "Actually, the Heat has no way out to retreat to this point. We have a lot of room for maneuver. I have detected their limits. Don't worry, leave it to me on the field."
D'Antoni left with satisfaction.
