Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 252 He can’t lose again, and there is no reason to lose again!
Dolan was sitting in the audience on the sidelines.

It's just that there are too many stars tonight.

The camera didn't catch him.

He watched Su Wan's first goal for New York and thought to himself:

Only players like this deserve to be in New York!
Fortunately, he didn't say this out loud, otherwise Donnie Walsh, who was right next to him, would definitely correct him:
It’s not “only players like this are worthy of New York”, but only New York is worthy of such a Suwan!
It's not an exaggeration.

When Su Wan finished the dunk, within 10 minutes, more than a dozen media outlets had released real-time updates:
"First ball for New York, a dunk over David Lee!"

This is not only because the current Internet development is getting better and better, but also because Indiana does not have such a large media base.

And this difference in media base will only become greater and greater over time.

No media outlet would set up its headquarters in a small town; they all take root in big cities.

Suwan's first goal for New York was reported by more than a dozen media outlets within 10 minutes. This is not only a reflection of his influence, but will also continue to amplify his influence, thus creating a strong impact and making all fans feel that they are living in "a world with only Suwan."

Of course, this has a premise:
That is Su Wan's performance of constantly having high exposure rate.

The Heat counterattack.

Since Suwan has taken on a lot of offensive responsibilities this season, the team has no stable scoring point other than him.

Whether it is Stephen Curry or Gallinari, they are both rookies who have not experienced big scenes yet, and they need some time to grow.

As for Artest and Tyson...

Don’t mention it!

Therefore, the responsibility of single defense was given to Artest, whose offensive ability had deteriorated.

"Uh-huh!"

Just as Artest lifted up his trouser legs, Wade "exploded" the ball in front of him and broke through, rushing straight to the basket.

Su Wan assisted from the side and forced Wade to make a "pseudo-step" layup.

"Shh!"

As the ball was hit, Wade fell to the ground.

As the recognized "last season of Wade's peak", Su Wan felt it just from the contact in this round, and he was indeed ridiculously strong.

What surprised Su Wan even more was Artest.

When did he learn how to “lift up his trouser legs”?
As expected, whenever there is a lack of ability, it will often be reflected in attitude.

In the transition between offense and defense, as soon as the ball reached Stephen Curry's hands, D'Antoni on the sidelines asked him to speed up. Then he realized belatedly that the rhythm point of the New York Knicks was not at this time.

Hey!
Transformation is so difficult!

D'Antoni automatically "muted".

The ball was given to Su Wan again.

Suwan faced Wade again, and this time he called for a pick-and-roll with Tyson Chandler. However, as he bypassed Chandler, he stood at the top of the arc and shot the ball, which went into the net cleanly.

"Suwan is in really good shape tonight!" Bill Walton knew very well that shooting three-pointers with the ball was not Suwan's strong point.

Or……

Bill Walton raised his eyebrows slightly, and he thought of a bold possibility:
Or has Su Wan made progress again this summer?

Have you also practiced the three-point shot with the ball?
If it were someone else, Bill Walton wouldn't be so sensitive.

But Su Wan...

Combined with the news that he had been training in the gym all summer, he felt it was very likely.

This guy is really perverted!

Su Wan, who was returning to defense, directly signaled to Artest to switch defense with him.

He now knows very well that with Artest's mobility, he will definitely not be able to defend against Wade.

Then let him do it himself!
After summer training, his physical fitness reached 98 points.

This is the amount of physical energy that can be spent freely in the first half even if "The zone" is turned on.

Of course……

This is without turning on "full power"!
But even if he turned on "full power", Su Wan is now at least a "real man for 5 minutes"!
As for not opening "The zone"...

That’s the “Physical Fitness Boy”!
Wade's breakthrough was obviously not as smooth as in the previous round.

Suwan's defense is a bit like an enhanced version of Tony Allen.

Tony Allen is good at close defense, but he is too short. It is easy for him to suffer when defending those explosive players in the same position, because he can only defend the level of the "little snake" in Los Angeles, hehe~
Whether it's strength, explosiveness or height, Suwan is at the top level for the power forward position. In addition, he has the best body control in the league, and his tackling ability is even better than Tony Allen.

only……

"beep!"

When Wade, BYD, saw that he couldn't get rid of Su Wan, he just stepped into the free throw line and raised his hand for a "Wade throw". As the whistle sounded, the ball fell into the basket.

Otherwise, it would be hard to describe what you would experience if you met such a “special skills guy”!

There was no problem with Su Wan's defense, but he still gave him the opportunity.

He silently said in his heart again:
Why don't you throw this BYD to death!

When the audience heard the referee's whistle, they immediately became angry and shouted in unison:
"Referee sucks!"

"Referee sucks!"

"Referee sucks!"

……

Wade stepped onto the free throw line amid boos, and perhaps because he fell too hard, he missed the free throw.

David Lee was the first to rush into the basket, but he had to watch Tyson Chandler grab the rebound.

"start running!"

D'Antoni, who had been muted for a long time, shouted loudly on the sidelines.

New York's rhythm spot!

Then I saw Tyson Chandler throw the ball to the front court.

Su Wan bumped into Wade.

Su Wan touched the ball in advance, and handsomely "hooked the ball and turned around", avoiding Wade's "fatal move", and also made the female fans on the sidelines open their legs involuntarily.

"Shh!"

Then with a flick of his hand, the ball flew from Su Wan's hand to the other side of the court.

When the Heat's defensive players saw Suwan getting the ball, they subconsciously moved in his direction, and the other side was completely open.

Stephen Curry gets the ball!

"He didn't go to the basket!"

“Just vote!”

"New York strikes back!"

"Chasing three points!"

"Goal!"

"OMG!"

The excited tone is enough to explain Bill Walton's mood at the moment.

Stephen Curry's shot choice was something he didn't expect.

According to common sense, after Suwan successfully attracted the defense, Stephen Curry should have rushed straight to the basket to complete the attack after receiving the ball.

But he didn't, he directly shot a three-pointer!
Are you really so confident in your ability?

At this time, Bill Walton still thought that Stephen Curry's shot was his own choice.

The big screen at the scene also showed Stephen Curry returning to defense with his mouth guard in his mouth.

His sloppy appearance, coupled with his young face, gives off a "yellow-haired" vibe. No wonder many fans are unhappy with Stephen Curry's mouth guard.

Su Wan felt that he was being a bit pretentious.

This "chasing three-pointer" is very morale-boosting.

Suwan's entanglement this time was more successful than before. Wade, who was breaking through, was forced to pass the ball and quickly passed it inside. David Lee took the ball with his back to the basket, turned around and shot, but was blocked by Tyson Chandler.

The next second after Artest caught the ball, D'Antoni on the sidelines screamed heartbreakingly again.

Stephen Curry, who had just made a three-pointer, was the target of the opponent in this round.

The look in Su Wan's eyes, which kept observing his position while holding the ball, made the Heat players certain that Su Wan was still looking for Curry's position.

But in the end, Su Wan went to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer directly from the top of the arc.

"Shh!"

His three-point shooting was really good tonight.

Hit again!

"beep!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, the referee blew the whistle and Spoelstra called a timeout.

This time, the cheers engulfed the entire stadium.

11 is better than 4!

The New York Knicks made three three-pointers at the start, which stunned the TNT studio.

Kenny Smith has the same feeling as Bill Walton: "Suwan's ability to shoot three-pointers with the ball is much better than last season! And it can be seen that he is also very confident and dares to shoot three-pointers with the ball!"

Barkley pointed out another point: "The New York Knicks have paid great attention to counterattack three-pointers after defensive rebounds this season. Their 6-0 wave was all chase three-pointers in defensive counterattacks. Is this their regular play this season?"

This is his doubt!

The fans at the scene were so excited by the consecutive three-point hits that they started singing and dancing.

This is New York!
This is New York!
The New York of their dreams has gorgeous offensive scenes and fierce offensive firepower, where they can run, shoot, dunk and rush!

Only a performance like this can be called New York, the capital of the world!

At this time, the big screen on site was given to Su Wan.

The cheers from the audience reached a new level, with a bit more enthusiasm.

Before Suwan came, New Yorkers' requirements for the Knicks were simple:
Become a strong team!

Win a finals trophy again after 37 years.

But now, Su Wan has brought not only a strong team to this city, but also a gorgeous style of play to this team...

It's like finding a girlfriend.

If you have any one of the following: fair, rich and beautiful, you won’t lose out.

If you can get two of them, you're already making a profit.

If you have all three, what else can you say?
perfect!

Although it was only a few minutes into the game, New Yorkers felt this way.

No way, I'm used to popping champagne at halftime...

In front of the Heat's bench, LeBron James stood there expressionlessly, waiting for the Heat's players to leave the court one by one, repeating over and over again: "Well done, well done, keep playing like this, be patient..."

But in his heart he was already beaming with joy!

That's it!

That's it!

Let the New York Knicks ruthlessly ravage you!

Only in this way can the Heat fans look forward to his first comeback after 29 games!

To be honest, he had never been so expecting Su Wan's team to beat his team.

There is no way, just as Rich Paul said, leave the Cavaliers and join Miami. This is Wade's team, and he has become the "second in command". Spoelstra's system is built around Wade.

This made it very difficult for him to adapt.

Always pay attention to Wade's position on the practice field.

This is not his best style of play!
It's not what he thinks is basketball!
But his reputation is really bad now. It can be seen from the fact that Pat Riley finally signed a 3+1+1 contract with him and was unwilling to give him a trade veto power that this guy is very afraid that he will destroy the atmosphere of the Heat team.

And these methods of his...

LeBron has to admit, it works!
He was a little panicked!
Rich Paul turned into a Bill Duffy and kept stressing to him, "Man, you have to be patient and don't cause trouble. We need to wait for the right time!"

Judging from Rich Paul's analysis, the only thing LeBron can expect now is that the Heat will fall into crisis in the first 30 games, and then he will step up to save the team.

He is so experienced in this matter!
It was during Shaquille O'Neal's "injury" that he led the team to a "4-game winning streak" and then completely gained the right to speak in the team.

This is how it is on the basketball court, whoever can lead the team to victory is the “boss”!
In the first game of the opening match, LeBron didn't have much hope.

The New York Knicks are a bunch of monsters. How could they possibly be a match for Wade, Chris Bosh and David Lee?

I didn’t expect that!
They had a crazy three-point shooting feel and showed signs of defeating the Heat from the start.

It would be great if we could really defeat the Heat!

However, Spoelstra's joy did not last long. After the timeout, the Heat adjusted their defense, forcing Suwan on the defensive end and not giving him the opportunity to challenge Wade one-on-one, forcing the entire Knicks team to move the ball.

He also saw that the New York Knicks' starting lineup was not without problems.

The most obvious problem is the lack of a pure organizer.

As long as they get the ball moving, the "single-point threat" posed by Suwan can be offset to the maximum extent.

On the offensive end, Chris Bosh became the main attacking point, and combined with David Lee's agile offensive style, he began to pull the New York Knicks' inside defense.

Gallinari's defense is a problem for him.

Once Tyson Chandler is pulled, there will be an open space in the interior.

In addition, when the ball was given to Wade, he no longer looked for Suwan, but instead looked for opportunities to single out Stephen Curry.

It has to be said that although Spoelstra is still a "rookie coach", he has a very high accuracy in looking at problems. He saw the two biggest weaknesses of the New York Knicks' defense at a glance:

Position one and position four.

The effect of this countermeasure is also very good.

The Heat quickly narrowed the score, and the whole scene became a little dull at this time.

D'Antoni stood on the sidelines, anxiously. His mind was racing, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and then his mind went blank.

There is one thing that is very criticized about the "Little Mustache" coaching:
He often uses a rotation of seven or eight players.

No matter how many available players there are in the lineup, he will only use seven or eight of them at the beginning of the season.

This use of people actually reflects his shortcomings in coaching:
The lineup will not be adjusted based on changes on the field.

Poor on-the-spot reaction ability!

Tyronn Lue is the best in the league in this regard. His problem is that he trusts the "ace lineup" too much and is too fixed in his rotation at certain times.

But he still thinks quickly when facing the situation, and he dares to use anyone.

He felt that in the current situation, it would be better to replace the power forward position with a defensive center like Turiaf or Jeffries.

D'Antoni disagreed a little. He didn't like the lineup with too few three-point shooting points on the court. He was also unwilling to use a lineup where both inside players had no three-point shooting ability: "The space is too small, and it's easy for the offense to be blocked!"

Tyronn Lue showed a "mysterious smile" and said, "Same sentence... give the ball to Suwan!"

As he was speaking, Suwan first called for a pick-and-roll, rushed into the basket to complete a "2+1", and then faced Wade and forced a mid-range jump shot. This shot made Barkley exclaim that he saw Michael Jordan.

The atmosphere on the scene returned to a celebratory one.

D'Antoni temporarily compromised and nodded in agreement, replacing Gallinari with Turiaf. His active defense and strong body made it difficult for Chris Bosh to attack with the ball from the baseline.

There's little space there.

But if Chris Bosh attacks from the wing, his ball-handling attack is worthless.

Whether it is Artest or Suwan, they can provide timely assistance and force him to pass the ball.

The ball returned to Wade's hands again.

Now he needs to open up the situation from the other side and make the side where Chris Bosh is standing become the weak side.

Wade nodded, carrying the "bomb" and rushed towards the New York Knicks' inside line.

ball……

Enter!
There were more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter, but Wade had already scored more than 10 points.

If you were a former New York Knicks fan, you would definitely type the word "want" on the public screen at this moment.

But now there was no envy in their eyes.

Because Su Wan...

Already got 14 points!
"Shh!"

Another step forward from mid-range!
Su Wan is in incredibly good shape tonight. From the start to now, he has made 8 of 6 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, and has already scored 16 points!
Wade is very powerful, but he is still not strong enough in front of Su Wan!

How can you say that New York fans would envy the Heat for having Wade?
Suwan's response aroused Wade's competitive spirit. During the Heat's offensive round, he took the ball without hesitation and rushed inside against Suwan. He accelerated so suddenly that he left Suwan behind him and glided in the air to avoid Tyson Chandler.

"Bah!"

One-handed chop!

"Ho!"

Wade clenched his fists, bowed, roared fiercely at the audience, and then pounded his chest hard.

His classic celebration pose was captured by the media at this moment.

The New Yorkers responded with shouts of abuse, their eyes fixed on the ball.

When the ball fell into Su Wan's hands, the shouting turned into cheering.

As soon as his foot passed the midfield, Su Wan accelerated directly. Wade moved back a step and tried to intercept sideways, only to find that he had lost the best interception opportunity.

The first line of defense failed to form an interception at all. David Lee turned his head decisively and retreated. Only Chris Bosh foolishly faced forward.

"Bah!"

Su Wan fell from the sky like a Dongfeng intercontinental missile, and directly rode on Chris Bosh's body to complete a dunk.

The impact of landing made Bosh's body soften and he sat down on the spot.

The ferocious impact caused the entire audience to cheer and directly blew up Madison Square Garden.

"OMG!"

"What did I see?"

"What did I see?"

"Su Wan, killed the fierce dragon from the north!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, Chris Bosh took the lead in a daze and met Suwan's gaze. Their eyes met, leaving Bosh with the nightmare of his life.

Wade quickly ran over and pulled Bosh up.

Bosh shook his head, as if he had just woken up.

New York Knicks:
Stephen Curry was stunned.

Tyson Chandler was stunned.

As for D'Antoni in front of the bench, his eyes almost popped out.

It’s not that he hasn’t coached players with explosive styles. Amare Stoudemire can be said to be a historical "jumping man", but he rarely sees scenes like "crows riding on a plane" and "kids driving a big car" like Suwan.

Spoelstra was also a little scared. When Chris Bosh passed by, he said, "Don't be affected, don't be affected, man, keep your enthusiasm, don't be affected!"

Wade rushed even harder this time. Turiaf wanted to intercept him, but saw Wade had already taken off over his head.

"Bah!"

"Dwyane Wade responded to Suwan again!" Bill Walton was excited. "When we talk about the best No. 2 player in the league, we think of Suwan and Kobe. We regard these two people as evenly matched opponents. We gradually forget about Dwyane, but the facts prove that Dwyane Wade is still a player of that level!"

"He's competing with Su Wan!"

LeBron was also very excited.

Although he hoped that the Heat would lose, he could not help but feel excited when he saw Wade's explosive performance.

So fierce!
It's too fierce!
When did he have such a strong teammate?

The first half ended with a confrontation between Suwan and Wade.

Suwan scored 18 points in the first quarter and ended up with 32 points at halftime.

Wade scored 13 points in the first quarter and 23 points in the first half.

The two of them were fighting back and forth, sparks flying!
However, the situation is not optimistic for the New York Knicks...

Wade's scoring momentum is not much behind Suwan, but he is not the only one scoring for the Heat.

His rapid momentum successfully turned Chris Bosh's side into the weak side.

Because Turiaf failed to make timely defensive support, his weakness of slow pace was infinitely magnified.

Tyson Chandler's defensive quality also declined at this time.

Bosh scored 10 points in the second quarter and also had 2 assists.

Let’s look at the Knicks.

With Gallinari out of the game, neither of the Knicks' inside players have the ability to create space and need to rely on "eating cakes" to survive. The Heat can safely and boldly expand their lineup.

Stephen Curry's shooting suddenly became less stable.

New York's firepower is entirely supported by Su Wan alone.

Therefore, at the end of the first half, the Heat successfully narrowed the gap to 54 to 55, just 1 point behind.

D'Antoni thought:

Look, let me tell you!
In a basketball game, it’s useless to rely on one person.

We need more scoring points in the lineup!
He wanted to put Gallinari back to the power forward position and try to solve the problem with three-pointers.

After Su Wan returned to the locker room, he stopped pretending and said directly: "Felton will play the No. 1 position in the second half, and Stephen will play the No. 2 position. Don't be too anxious, just run and look for opportunities!"

Suwan knew very well that even in his prime period, Stephen Curry's main playing style was to pass the ball to his teammates and then run to receive the ball.

This is the style of play he is most accustomed to.

In that case, Su Wan gave him a pure number one Felton.

Su Wan said: "I will play the third position, and you can play the fourth position, Ron!"

Artest is slow in defending Wade, but he is not slow in defending Chris Bosh at the four position, and he also has advantages in strength and center of gravity.

In fact, many "outside heavy tanks" will move towards the fourth position when defending when they get older.

For example, Jordan during his time with the Wizards, and "Big Bird", he played the power forward position on offense, but on defense he was more likely to defend the power forward position to avoid having his speed and explosiveness destroyed by the power forward position.

In the 06 Finals, Artest also proved his ability to defend the power forward position.

The biggest difference between Chris Bosh and Nowitzki is that Artest has an easy way to defend Nowitzki, but when defending Bosh, you need to pay attention to his first step and don't let him get away from you.

But New York's inside player is Tyson Chandler.

Even if Chris Bosh left Artest behind, his path would basically be locked. In this situation, Tyson Chandler could easily determine Chris Bosh's breakthrough route and complete the interception.

Tyronn Lue thought this change of formation was good and said, "I think it's okay!"

Suwan, who was recognized, gave D'Antoni face: "What do you think, Mike? How about we play like this in the second half?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to D'Antoni.

The core members of the team agreed, and the assistant coach also thought it was good...

So what else can I say?
D'Antoni nodded: "Let's play like this!"

To a certain extent, this can actually be regarded as strengthening the "three-point attack"!
It doesn’t go against my philosophy!

Ok……

But D'Antoni always felt like there was something blocking his chest, making him feel stuffy.

Su Wan didn't care what he thought.

To put it bluntly, this is a confrontation between two ideologies.

The extreme offensive concept of "Moneyball" is still too advanced for Suwan who came in 2024.

Don’t ask, the only thing that left a deep impression on Su Wan was the 22 consecutive missed three-pointers.

He can't bet everything on three-pointers.

and……

He thought he could change D'Antoni's mind.

This is his confidence as a "Hang B".

If it really can't be changed, then it can only be said that D'Antoni is not destined to be the head coach of the New York Knicks.

Suwan looks at Tyronn Lue and thinks he has the "head coaching qualities"!
The game continues in the second half.

Su Wanzhen found himself underestimating Chris Bosh.

I originally thought that as long as I blocked Chris Bosh's first step, I would be able to determine Chris Bosh's path to the basket and restrict him, but Chris Bosh's offensive style with the ball is more than just dribbling and breaking through.

He has so many offensive methods when he catches the ball:
Direct dribbling, catch-and-shoot jump shots, and even the "triple threat" technique...

And Chris Bosh's mobility is indeed at the small forward level.

He is different from Nowitzki. As long as you squeeze him half a body length, it is difficult to stop him from rushing to the basket. Even if he staggers, he can complete the attack in an unstable manner.

Artest had a hard time defending him.

But playing this way has improved the New York Knicks' mobility, and the mutual defense can be completed faster.

Although Chris Bosh was able to score in the one-on-one defense of Artest, he struggled again when facing the more mobile help defense of the New York Knicks.

So although it was not what Su Wan had expected, the tactical goal was still achieved.

That’s enough. No matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

In addition...

Stephen Curry did find his more accustomed shooting rhythm without holding the ball.

But his shooting percentage has yet to improve.

This is caused by many factors.

Now he doesn't have the sharp breakthroughs like in his peak period. He can only occasionally have a flash of inspiration and break through to cause damage, but this is not enough for opponents to defend against his breakthroughs.

Especially a "talented head coach" like Spoelstra is even less likely to be fooled.

Also, the three-point shot is a scoring technique with a relatively large fluctuation in hit rate.

As strong as Stephen Curry is, he can only maintain a stable three-point output during his peak two or three years. In other seasons, he is basically "excellent in one game, stable in four or five games, and lousy in two or three games."

But this is already the league's top three-point shooter, and it's a historical level.

From this perspective, D'Antoni, who is obsessed with the high-risk and high-return of three-pointers, is a complete gambler.

Apart from Suwan and Wade, there is no one on both sides who can score consistently.

Now the game becomes simple...

Barkley said: "Now it depends on whether Wade defeats Su Wan or Su Wan defeats Wade!"

Whoever can keep scoring till the end will have the last laugh and win.

Su Wan's gaze became increasingly fiery.

He was very strong tonight, but so was Wade.

If he wanted to suppress Wade, his current performance was not enough, which made him keep saying in his heart:

I can't lose, I absolutely can't lose!
This is his debut, and he will win the game no matter how difficult it is.

The thought became stronger and stronger, and Su Wan could feel that familiar breath, but it was still a little short of being fully activated.

At this time, he looked towards the Heat's bench, and just happened to meet LeBron's glance. Disgust suddenly exploded in his heart, and then...

That familiar breath burst out completely.

His eyes also became sharper!
"The zone"!
opened!
He found another key to open the door.

Wade also felt that Su Wan in front of him suddenly became more ferocious.

Like a wild beast determined to kill.

he knows……

Su Wan entered "The zone".

But today, he is here to mess things up!

Before the game, Suwan's grand opening and the "star-studded" sidelines allowed Chris Bosh to see the ultimate influence of a top player and also aroused Wade's competitive spirit.

He knew that Su Wan had become the mountain he needed to climb.

And now that he has an All-Star-level helper in Chris Bosh, he can't lose anymore, and there is no reason to lose anymore!

Even if it is Su Wan, he will leave with victory tonight!

With almost no offensive space, Wade completed a mid-range jump shot against Suwan.

The moment the ball went in.

The audience at the scene couldn't help but sigh as they watched him fall to the ground, roll twice, but the ball still fell into the basket:
Awesome!
