Chapter 782

New York Knicks:

Center: Dwight Howard, Warcraft desperately needs to prove himself to people, and he really did play too badly last time out to be worthy of his identity.

Power Forward: Greg Oden, Mr. Champion's first game in China was ineffective, and after the game, he was even judged to be inferior to Birdman Anderson, and he panicked on the court like a junior high school student who participated in the first game, and this game was also important to him because he wanted to win back the points he had lost in Thomas's mind.

Small forward: Danny Granger, after being promoted to the team's main team, participated in the first important game, his scoring ability has been recognized, but it is a little unreasonable to be blown up by Kobe Bryant on the defensive end, and he wants to stabilize his position, and there is still a lot to do.

Shooting Guard: Keller Korver, the Knicks can't afford to lose this game, and he can't afford to lose, and like he said, he's definitely not going to fall in the same place twice.

Point guard: Steve Blake, he's coming, he's playing, he's winning or losing, he's the most inconspicuous one on the court, and he's the most competent one.

Los Angeles Lakers:

Center: Pau Gasol, who played well in the last game, especially suppressing Howard, who is known as the monster, finally saw the hope of getting rid of the hat of the softie, but he still needs to work hard in this game, and don't make people feel that the performance in the last game is just a flash in the pan.

Power Forward: Lashad Lewis, this is not the most suitable position for him, the position he should be holding really does not really exist, the all-round strength of the inside and outside makes him a fish in water in any position, especially the three-point shot, the last game that threw in five three-pointers in just three minutes is believed to be a nightmare for New Yorkers for a long time.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant, there is no doubt that Kobe Bryant is ready to ascend to the throne in this game, as long as he can beat his opponent, I believe that the last record in the two consecutive battles with Keller will definitely make him the first star in the NBA, which should belong to him.

Point guard: Derrick Fisher, there is no better candidate for the Lakers' position, although he is a little older, but his presence will always be the most reassuring part of the Lakers.

The players on both sides are ready for the fight, and now all they need is that opening whistle

The basketball was thrown into the sky, and then the two big men, one black and one white, jumped up at the same time, stretching their arms to win the first opportunity for their team to attack.

Although Gasol did a good job in Shanghai, although Howard strongly denied this fact, but at least in terms of data, in the last battle between the two teams, Gasol scored 31 points in a single game, of course, this is not the worst, the most unbearable thing for Howard is that Gasol actually scored 17 rebounds on his head in the whole game, and 8 were offensive rebounds, comprehensively suppressed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, such a situation has never appeared when the two have played each other in the past, Howard has been a winner every time in the past, and now he is thinking about how to get back the advantage he lost, he doesn't like this Spaniard who stepped on his head, especially since this Spaniard has a name for a soft egg.

"Smack"

Howard, who was ashamed and brave, fought hard this time, and his excellent bounce power was vividly exerted at the beginning of the game, although the two were about the same height, but Howard jumped at least nearly ten centimeters higher than Gasol.

"Well done big man"

Blake moved two quick steps, reached for the ball, and then did not stop, and with a hard flick of his arm, the basketball seemed to have eyes, and accurately found Keller, who was moving at high speed on the left side of the court.

The opening fast attack, this is Thomas's strategy set before the game, she knows very well that the overall strength of the two teams is comparable, if you want to avenge Shanghai, you must take advantage of the Lakers' unstable foothold, they are stunned, only in this way they have a chance to win.

Run, catch, shoot

That's what Thomas told the players

When Keller received the ball, his feet were about to step on the three-point line, and his body, which was running at high speed, suddenly made a sudden stop, which caught Artest who was defending him a little unprepared, and rushed out several steps along the inertia of the opportunity to return to defense, and when he finally controlled his body with his hands and feet and barely controlled his body, when he wanted to turn back and continue to defend, Keller had completed a complete set of shooting movements, jumped, and then crossed the basketball with his fingertips.

"Damn it"

Artest cursed, now all he could do was look back at the basket he was guarding, and pray to God that the ball was okay, but it was clear that he wasn't religious enough, so God didn't help him this time.

"Huh"

"What the hell"

Artest cursed and shook his arm hard, in fact, he had no reason to complain at all, but should feel lucky, originally with the serious foul he had in the last game, even the suspension was not too much, but in the end the Lakers still found an excuse for him and persuaded the league. Although these two games in China are in the name of preseason, they are actually just commercial games arranged by the Knicks, of course, Artest was not punished, and David Stern's promotion also played a big role, after all, the current NBA environment is that everyone is making trouble for the Knicks, trying to stop the rise of their dynasty.

Keller didn't heed Artest's complaints, but turned back to defend as soon as he confirmed the ball, still beckoning his teammates as he ran.

"Hey guys, come back, the Angelenos aren't going to give us time in formation, they're always staring at our ass, trying to hit our counter-attacking Dwight? Howard, that Spaniard isn't your type, don't always get tangled up with him, get back to your position"

The Knicks' replay was fast, the Lakers' attack was not slow, Kobe Bryant ran wildly with the ball, but unfortunately he quickly bumped into Granger, and Keller was also watching from the sidelines, ready to help defend at any time.

Seeing that the fast break could not be played, Kobe Bryant passed the ball to Fisher at the first time, and the game fell into a positional battle, and the basketball returned to Kobe Bryant's hands after a few passes, this time he seized an opportunity, although Granger has shown enough strength on the offensive end, but he is obviously still a little tender when defending, especially in the face of a superstar like Kobe.

A not-so-clever feint, Granger was very cooperative and still fooled, in fact, he did a good job, but when facing Kobe, he still felt an inexplicable pressure unnaturally.

shot and shot, although Keller's assistance defense arrived, but it was still a step, and he could only watch Kobe Bryant throw the ball, but this time luck was obviously not on the side of this devout Quaker, and the basketball actually slipped out after two turns on the basket.

Howard, who had been preparing under the basket for a long time, leaned on Gasol with his strong body and jumped into his arms to hold the ball.

"Offense"

While Keller yelled at his teammates to attack, Howard also threw the ball over, and the Knicks were significantly quicker to counterattack than the Lakers.

After Keller dribbled two steps, his right hand pushed forward hard, and after the basketball crossed a straight line, it was handed to Granger, who was advancing at high speed, and at this time it was Kobe Bryant, who was powerless just now, who was defending next to Granger.

Unable to do anything on the defensive end, Granger was eager to find it on the offensive end, just like Keller had just done, with a sudden stop, after shaking off Bryant's defense, and throwing it into the net near the free throw line.

"Well done Danny" team scored five points in a row, which made Thomas on the sidelines very excited, "Go on doing this, run, catch and shoot"

The Lakers' offense, Fisher passed the ball to Gasol on the inside, it seems that the Spaniard is still living in the glory of the last game, and he still wants to eat Howard under the basket, but after hitting it twice, he found that he encountered a solid wall today, and it was about to be violated in three seconds, and the Spaniard could only choose his better step-back small hook instead of a more brilliant basket strong hit.

It's just that his luck is also bad, the shot basketball smashed into the front of the basket and bounced back, and Oden, who was eyeing him from the sidelines, seized the opportunity to grab the rebound, and then passed directly to Keller, who had moved to the halfway line.

"A big man who passed on"

Keller gave a thumbs up, started the motor and rushed forward a few steps, before Artest, who was defending him, could react, and jumped up nearly a meter from the three-point line, and by the time he landed, he was already inside the three-point line.

"Huh"

The ball still went in, telling the three-pointer in the rush process, and this kind of handling is something that only an offensive maniac like Keller can do.

8:0

The opening game was beaten 8-0, and if such a situation had happened to the head coach of another team, I am afraid that it would have called a timeout, but Jackson still sat firmly on the sidelines, obviously he felt that such a situation was not a big deal, or he believed that his players could handle it.

But what happened next was clearly beyond his expectations, with the Knicks' offense thriving and his team's luck still terrible
