On May 17, the tiebreak battle between the Nets and the Heat officially started, and this game attracted the attention of the whole United States.

Because the win or loss of this game will directly rewrite the winning pattern of this season, and the winner between the Nets and the Heat will also meet the Wizards in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although most media predict that the Heat will likely win this game, the Nets' performance in this round of the series is really amazing.

Especially Joe Johnson, it would not be an exaggeration to compare Joe Johnson to Jordan in this round of the series.

In the whole round of the series, Joe Johnson averaged 31.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, and his shooting percentage remained at 47.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage was also as high as 40.3%.

Adding to the outstanding performance of Deron Williams and Lopez, the Nets successfully dragged the game into a tiebreak and competed with the Heat.

After the tiebreak started, the score between the Heat and the Nets was always very anxious, and the situation on the court was not as optimistic as the experts analyzed before the game.

Throughout the game, Joe Johnson still maintained a super high offensive level. Even though D'Antoni doubled against Joe Johnson in the second half, Johnson, who felt hot, seemed to be like a god descending to earth, suppressing Wade on the offensive end and helping the Nets take the lead.

In addition, former Elvis Wallace also performed well in the tiebreak battle, which greatly limited James' offensive efficiency on the defensive end, leaving James' shooting percentage in the entire first half of the field goalkeeper, which is already a very effective defense.

Even though Gerald Wallace is no longer at the peak, the macho still goes all out in the tiebreak battle and continues to play his own role in the field.

In the entire second half, as time on the court became less and less, the Heat and Nets teams also fought their lives one after another, no longer having any reservations, and even the defensive movements began to increase.

But the Nets still led the Heat by 4 points at the end of the third quarter with the outstanding performance of Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace.

I have to say that this kind of scene was something that no one expected before the start of the tiebreak.

The Heat's overall strength in this series must be above the Nets, but the resilience and tenacity shown by the Nets moved everyone.

Especially the man Gerald Wallace, who was even though Haslem's iron elbow opened in the second half of the third quarter, still returned strongly in the fourth quarter and continued to play with injuries.

In the end, with more than two minutes left before the end of the game, the Nets were still leading by a slight advantage of three-pointers, and it seemed that they had unlimited possibility of promotion.

As James and Billups' last three-point shooting missed, the Nets finally defeated the No. 1 Heat to win the championship seed and won the highly anticipated tiebreak battle.

After the game, the excited Blue Nets people ran constantly in the middle of the field, cheering each other. Even Joe Johnson was so tired that he knelt on one knee and was dehydrated, but he could see the joy that could not be hidden on Johnson's face.

In sharp contrast, the Heat seemed very lonely while the game was completely over. Wade couldn't help but kick down the trash can in the passage when he left the game.

Head coach D'Antoni also had a complicated expression, and he must have felt mixed feelings in his heart and could not calm down for a long time.

It is hard to imagine that the Heat, the No. 1 seed to win this year, did not even enter the Eastern Conference Finals and was shocked by the Nets in the semi-finals. This is definitely a shocking thing.

And the Heat's another defeat this year is likely to cause the management to move next.

Although I don’t know if the Big Three will disband on the spot, D’Antoni, the head coach, was pushed to a slightly awkward position.

Although the Heat did not win the championship last year, Spoul brought the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals and started a very fierce battle with the Wizards.

As for this year, although the Heat after changing coaches, they scored second in the league, they did not even step into the threshold of the Eastern Conference Finals. This is definitely a fact that Miami fans cannot accept.

According to the previous style of NBA teams, D'Antoni's dismissal seems to have entered the countdown stage.

Even if the management does not intend to change coaches, D'Antoni is likely to quit in this position. After all, this pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear.

However, considering that the three Heat giants have been formed for three years, but in these three years, the Heat have not even won a championship, so simply changing coaches can no longer fundamentally solve the problem.

At this time, the Heat management should think carefully. Even if the team changes another coach next year and continues to strengthen, the team can really win the championship.

No one can predict the development of the next thing, including Yang Fan with the Eye of God open, because the entire alliance pattern has been completely disrupted by Yang Fan in this life, no matter what happens next, Yang Fan will not be surprised.

But whether the Heat will make an operation that shocks the league is all offseason. The most important thing now is the Eastern Conference Finals where the Nets and the Wizards are about to meet.

I believe the whole world plans to pay attention to this series of matches, because everyone wants to see if a cold Nets broke out this year and become the darkest dark horse in NBA history!!

……………………

"Yang, good news! Good news!" Pushing open the door of Yang Fan's office, General Manager Grenfeld shouted with a little excitement, "The Nets beat the Heat in an upset, and he helped us get rid of our biggest opponent this season."

"It seems that even God hopes that we can defend our title this year, haha, that's really good news!" Grenfeld, who rushed into the office, seemed very excited, as if the championship was already in front of him.

"I saw it, Ernie, but don't be so optimistic. Although the Nets eliminated the Heat outside my expectations, this is not good news."

"If you really understand it, you will find out how amazing the Nets' performance in this playoffs this year."

"If the Nets can maintain such efficient offensive and defense levels in the Eastern Conference Finals, it would be a very bad thing, even worse than meeting the Heat." Unconsciously lit a cigarette, Yang Fan's face frowned, and looked far less optimistic than Grenfeld.

"But we won the Nets twice in the three regular season matches, so we should have a great chance of winning this round." Grenfeld, who was thrown into cold water in front of him, stood there on the spot, and he still said unwillingly.

"Mr. Ernie, I think what Young is right, but our situation is not that optimistic."

"The regular season is different from the playoffs. Judging from the Nets' performance in the semi-finals, our troubles are indeed coming." McMillan, who was sorting out the information, couldn't help but say.

"God, can't you give me some confidence? Just now, good news came out here, and you poured a basin of cold water on me. This is really a bad thing." Grenfeld couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and sat on the sofa and calmed down instantly.

"Don't worry, Ernie, maybe the situation is not as bad as we imagined. Due to the change of coaches this year, the offense and defense system of the entire team has undergone very serious changes."

"Especially on the defensive end, this season's Heat have put all their energy on the offensive end, so the Nets can play such amazing offensive efficiency in the semi-finals."

"This is closely related to the Heat's main tactics. If we meet us in the Eastern Conference Finals, then the Nets should be the one who really has a headache."

"Anyway, it's too early to discuss winning or losing now. Who can laugh to the end will have to wait until the series starts to know." Yang Fan said this and did not even raise his head, but continued to sort out the information in his hands.

As for what Yang Fan was thinking, only Yang Fan himself knew at the moment.

With the Nets' surprise elimination of the Heat in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, all news in the sports sector has been dominated by the Nets in the past two days.

Nets head coach Carlesimo can also be called a god in one battle. This year, he not only won the best coach, but also led the Nets to a big cold.

If nothing unexpected happens, Calesimo will become a favorite in the eyes of the media and can also completely stand firm on the road of coaching.

This season is the first season for the Nets to move from New Jersey to Brooklyn, and this start is definitely a stunning one.

At least at this time, Brooklyn was completely filled with joy. You can see young people with red faces and yelling fans in every corner of the city.

Not to mention whether the Nets can continue to overthrow the defending champion Wizards in the Eastern Conference Finals, just talking about defeating the Heat is enough to write into Brooklyn's history.

The three points that the Nets rely most on on the offensive end this season are Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Lopez.

In addition, Brachi, Marshan Brooks, Watson, Thomas Jr. and others can also provide stable offensive firepower.

On the defensive end, the Nets also have Gerald Wallace, Humphries and Bogans in charge, so the Nets can definitely be called a team with balanced offense and defense.

As for the Heat's losses in the semi-finals, in addition to the Nets' strong strength this season, the main reason lies in themselves.

After D'Antoni took office, he directly overturned the Heat's tactical system, turning the Heat from a team with balanced offense and defense into a team focusing on offense.

This season, the Heat's average score per game is second only to the Wizards, ranking second in the league, but the Heat's defensive loss ranks fifth from the bottom, which is a shocking enough.

In addition, D'Antoni's tactical system rarely makes mid-range shots, either hitting the basket or shooting three-pointers.

This also makes the Heat extremely unstable. When the hand feels good, it can easily hit 1340 points. When the hand feels bad, it wishes to throw itself to death.

The defeats in the semi-finals G3 and G6 are a good example. If "Zen Master" Jackson is an old antique, he will only play the one he wants to play.

Then D'Antoni just doesn't know how to adapt. Under any circumstances, he will stick to his tactical philosophy and will not make any adjustments because of the cold feel.

This coaching ability that can already be promoted to the fanatical level is really scary, and it is also a major reason for the Heat to be out of the surprise this season.

It has to be admitted that D'Antoni's excellent running and bombing ability has brought the Heat to a new level this season, and has performed an epic performance on the offensive end, at least the season with the highest offensive efficiency since the combination of the Big Three.

But when encountering a strong opponent like the Nets who have a balanced offense and defense and are equally strong in the playoffs, the Heat's magic ball tactics play ultimately reveals its drawbacks.

Finally, he was eliminated unexpectedly after seven consecutive games and performed in a suicide round.

It is worth mentioning that D'Antoni had become the target of media coverage at this time and was also collectively attacked by Miami fans.

There are even some Miami fans who express their anger through the Internet, saying that D'Antoni is Miami's sinner and threaten to shoot D'Antoni to death.

From the current perspective, D'Antoni has become the target of attack on the entire network, and both fans and media have taken advantage of this popularity to launch an attack on D'Antoni.

There are also some so-called basketball experts who gave high-profile speeches at this time and began to analyze D'Antoni's tactical theory from the perspective of data.

It means that D'Antoni's tactical theory has a very big loophole, so the Heat's loss has become an inevitable result.

Looking at the so-called experts' hindsight behavior on the Internet, Yang Fan, as one of the melon-eating crowd, felt very funny.

Although Yang Fan also disagrees with D'Antoni's coaching style, he still feels very disdainful when he sees these experts who are only good at hindsight.

It seems that as long as you change a title, those who say before the game that the Heat will definitely win the series will not be them.

D'Antoni's coaching style is indeed a bit extreme. Even Yang Fan, who also likes to shoot a lot of three-pointers, seems a little crazy. However, in comparison, Yang Fan looks down on these fiction-like experts.

As a competitive sports, it is normal to be upset. It can only be said that the Heat this year have been given great high expectations, so when the Heat are eliminated, it will attract so many people's abuse and attention.

For this, D'Antoni really has to take the blame, because the Heat's elimination has an inseparable relationship with D'Antoni's coaching philosophy.

However, this does not mean that D'Antoni's coaching level is as unsightly as experts have analyzed.

Even in Yang Fan's opinion, there are no more than five coaches in the active league with higher coaching skills than D'Anthony.

It can only be said that the Heat is too popular. D'Antoni has been pushed to the forefront by the media, so D'Antoni will attract everyone's unanimous attacks.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a tragedy for the head coach. People will selectively praise the team when they lead the team with excellent results, but once they are out of the game unexpectedly, all their previous achievements will be worthless.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan even felt sad when he died of a rabbit and fox.

Because Yang Fan dared not imagine what kind of evaluation he would have at that time if his legend could not be continued one day and he could not lead the team to win.

……………………

"Mike is an excellent basketball coach, even if the Heat's outs this year was something people didn't expect."

"But that's the case with competitive sports, it's also the charm of competitive sports."

"So I hope everyone can stop attacking Heat players and Coach Mike while congratulating the Nets."

"As an opponent, I respect the Heat and the Nets. Every athlete deserves everyone's respect, and the same is true for every coach."

"If everything happens according to the expected trajectory, then I think the sport of basketball will become meaningless." Yang Fan frowned in an interview before the Eastern Conference starts.
