However, on February 27, the Knicks will usher in their first strong opponent after the All-Star Game, the Miami Heat, one of the Knicks\' strongest opponents in the Eastern Conference this season.
This is the fourth time the Knicks have played against the Heat this season, and it is also the last time they have played in the regular season this season. In the first three games, the Knicks have achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.
In this away game, all Knicks players are ready for revenge from the Heat\'s Big Three.
Lian Dao and the others knew that this would be a difficult battle, and at the same time, everyone was fully prepared.
Sure enough, the Big Three of the Heat played well in the first quarter amidst the cheers of the fans at the American Airlines Center. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade felt even hotter. After the first quarter, the Knicks trailed the Heat 23:34 in a single quarter 11 points.
But in the second quarter, the Knicks launched a counterattack.
Lian Dao led Millsap and Cousins to blow up the Heat\'s inside lineup. Big Z was on the injured list and did not play. The Heat\'s fifth position substitute was Joel Anthony, but this guy\'s performance was too good Pulled down.
The Heat\'s inside defense was shattered by Lian Dao\'s repeated breakthroughs. Especially in the second quarter, D\'Antoni put up a dislocation singles tactic and attacked the Heat\'s weak inside.
Neither Bosh nor Joel Anthony caused too much interference to Lai Liantao\'s breakthrough.
On the contrary, the Heat\'s double-teaming of Lian Dao in the second quarter allowed Millsap and Cousins to get a lot of open opportunities. Today they also continued the touch of the previous game, whether it was a three-pointer or a mid-range shot. The rates are excellent.
Throughout the second quarter, the Knicks\' overall shooting percentage was as high as 73.4%.
At the end of the second quarter, the Knicks chased the score to 52:51, and the Knicks led by 1 point to end the first half.
Entering the second half, D\'Antoni carried out the pick-and-roll misplaced singles tactics to the end, and as long as the Heat dared to double-team inside, Stoudemire and Cousins would get a chance, especially Cousins after the All-Star, the inside lethality is definitely not one Joel Anthony or Eric Dampier could hold it down.
Moreover, the Heat\'s outside firepower in the third quarter did not continue the fiery state of the first half, especially Dwight Wade. Under Tony Allen\'s strict defense, he was completely out of shape and missed shots one after another. After a breakthrough, the Knicks quickly shrunk their defense.
The Knicks\' targeted defense made Wade a little miserable.
Although James can still score, his offensive efficiency is not very high under Lian Dao\'s marking.

In the last 2 minutes, the Knicks still firmly held an 8-point lead.
However, the ball is in the hands of the Heat. In the hand-to-hand fight with Lian Dao\'s death, James has never taken the lead, so naturally he has no room to catch the ball.
Bosh and Eric Dampier\'s off-ball screens finally allowed James to get the ball, but James, who had just got the ball and wanted to break through, was squeezed past Bosh\'s pick-and-roll, blocking the breakthrough route.
James had no choice but to force Lian Dao to hit the inside line. Seeing that James wanted to hit the basket, Stoudemire and Cousins were ready to shrink the basket at any time.
Seeing this situation, James had no choice but to take a mid-range shot, but his shot was interfered by Lian Dao, the basketball hit the front of the basket, and Lian Dao took the rebound first.
The Heat retreated very quickly and did not give the Knicks the slightest chance to break fast.
Stoudemire and Cousins once again mentioned the high position. James and Bosh thought that Lian Dao would hit the basket again, so the defense focused on Lian Dao\'s breakthrough.
However, after Stoudemire\'s high screen, Lian Dao shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Although Bosh rushed forward vigilantly, he was still a step slower in the end.
Looking back, the basketball fell straight into the hoop.

However, the Heat did not give up. Wade shot another three-pointer. Unfortunately, his status was not online in the second half.
Wade missed a three-pointer. Although the rebound was grabbed by Bosh, Bosh\'s second attack was double-teamed by Stoudemire and Cousins, but Cousins slapped him.
Lian Dao grabbed the shot ball and passed it long to Holiday, who was about to come down, and made a successful layup.
At this time, Spoelstra saw that there was no way to recover. He called a timeout in the last 52 seconds, replaced all the main players, and announced his surrender.
