Knicks vs. Heat preview: Brunson leads the team to a winning streak, the Heat's three-pointer may determine the trend
6686 Sports, October 27th, the Knicks will challenge the Heat away from home.
The Knicks defeated the Celtics by 105 in their last game and won two consecutive games. Towns and Brunson showed a fiery competitive state. Among them, Brunson got rid of the sluggish ball control in the opening game and scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists on 10 of 20 games. His stable output on the offensive end almost broke through the Celtics' defense. Towns' 4-for-6 three-point shooting percentage was also very threatening, and he scored 26 points and 13 rebounds.
In addition, Anunoby and Bridges' performance on the wings has also attracted attention from the outside world. Facing the Celtics' competition, the two not only shouldered a large number of wing guards, but also made 4 three-pointers, both scoring in double figures.
However, there is a big problem in the Knicks' bench. Clarkson and Yabusele failed to take on more. Hart only had 1 of 8 ball control in the last game. At this stage, Brown prefers the starting five to solve the problem.
The Heat had 1 win and 1 loss in the first two games. In the last game, they beat the Grizzlies by 32 points. The team shot 19 of 40 from three-point range. Adebayor and Weir combined for 43 points and 14 rebounds. In addition, Jovic on the bench also scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
During the period when Hiero continued to be injured, Powell's performance was eye-catching, averaging 21.5 points in the past two games.
However, the Heat's preseason performance was not ideal. Whether they can face the Knicks in this campaign and whether they can surrender close to 50% of their three-point shooting percentage will most likely determine the outcome. In addition, the Heat need to meet higher expectations in terms of error control and defense. Otherwise, with an average of 119 points lost per game in the past, it will still be relatively difficult for the home team to win.
