Chapter 218: Leading in All Aspects

Lee admits he was weak defensively, but that was more due to his physical limitations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And Anjie didn't have any physical contact with David Lee at all in that ball just now, but David Lee still let the opponent score easily.

A simple fake fax tricked David Lee into a daze. An Jie cheered over there, and David Lee Ke was a little angry.

"It's okay David! Attack, we play back on the offensive end!" D'Antoni knew what his leading center was thinking, and he didn't expect David Lee to defend against Anjie in this game. As long as you can do better than others on the offensive end, what does it matter if you are scored a few times when defending?

Chris Dujon controlled the ball and advanced to the front of the court, and as soon as he crossed the halfway line, Westbrook posted on.

Van Gundy knows that the Knicks' small guard is limited, and if he continues to press him, it will disrupt the guard's offensive organization somewhat.

So he told Westbrook to use a half-court press defense against Dujon!

It turned out that Van Gundy's approach was extremely correct, and the skinny Dujon was directly forced to interrupt the dribble under Westbrook's entanglement!

In order to prevent mistakes, Dujon held the ball with both hands and dodged Westbrook's steal. Westbrook was unrelenting, trying his best to force Dujon to make a mistake without fouling.

Fortunately, the Knicks' starting small forward Wilson Chandler arrived in time, which allowed Dujon to get a chance to pass, and the Knicks struggled to even keep the ball on their first offense.

Chandler got the ball, but he turned around and had to face Durant, who was tall and arm-long.

Chandler tried to break through with his stronger body, but was pulled out by Durant's long arms while traveling.

Italian Daroni Gallinari reacted quickly and scrambled to pick up the ball that Chandler had lost.

"The Knicks are so embarrassed, this is the first time they attack, and they are defended by the Thunder!"

Gallinari's ability to attack with the ball is not too good, and he is more often used as a mobile turret.

So when Gallinari got the ball, he didn't break through again, but opted for a pass.

As for who the ball will pass, the answer is already obvious. David Lee had already leaned on An Jie and raised his hands, ready to be ashamed!

"The offensive skills are gorgeous!" is not used to describe Anjie, but to describe David Lee, who is now holding the ball.

He, like An Jie, is an inside line who relies more on technology to eat. Whether it's shooting or back-to-back skills, footwork or hook hands under the basket, David Lee is no less than Angel.

This season, David Lee is averaging a career-high 20.2 points per game, thanks to his excellent offensive skills.

He didn't have a hard time with An Jie, he knew that although this Asian was about the same weight as himself, his strength was amazing. In the past, people would still marvel at Anjie's strength, but after a year in the NBA, Anjie's strength is good.

Instead of making any futile attempts, Lee turned around with the ball in both hands and started a series of offensive moves of his own.

No, David Lee didn't have a frame, but like An Jie, he used a half-turn and then quickly turned in the opposite direction.

Anjie was not deceived, he has been carefully observing David Lee's footsteps. Now it's difficult for even Da Meng himself to deceive An Jie, let alone a mere David Lee?

Sure enough, David Lee's turn was the real signal. Although the pace was very fast, Anjie was able to judge David Lee's intentions through the details.

Lee confidently turned around and prepared to shoot the basketball. When he framed his face, he unexpectedly found that An Jie had already jumped, ready to reward himself with a big hot pot with his head and face.

If this ball insists on shooting, it will definitely be blocked by An Jie. David Lee had to change his plan temporarily, insisting on continuing to execute his shooting actions and taking the initiative to lean towards An Jie.

"Dudu!" As soon as the two bodies made contact, the referee immediately gave An Jie a foul.

An Jie raised his right hand and signaled that he had committed a foul, which was undisputed.

"This guy is still too young, in fact, he has already judged David Lee's next move, but the monkey should not jump early. The commentators of various TV stations expressed their regrets, they thought that Anjie's iconic "volleyball hat" would be staged again. It's a pity that Anjie met a David Lee who is as smart as himself.

Although David Lee got two free throws, he was still shocked into a cold sweat. The Asian just now seemed to read his own mind, and his movements were completely anticipated. If it weren't for his quick reaction and a quick move to make a foul, I wouldn't be able to pick up the ball from the out-of-bounds now.

Anjie's mood was not affected in any way, and the foul at least provided experience for his next defense.

David Lee made two free throws and two free throws, and this guy's shot was as accurate as a defender. Of course, a lot of guards nowadays don't know what shooting is.

When David Lee was still thinking about how to deal with An Jie later, An Jie took the initiative to find him.

"Come on!" while the Knicks fans were shouting for defense, Katherine cheered for the Thunder in the middle of a crowd of Knicks fans. Because her man, An Jie, holds the ball again!

"Ann has attacked with the ball twice in a row, which is rare. Mike Brin looked at it with interest, what trick was Van Gundy going to play?

In fact, according to Van Gundy's tactics, this ball should have been played for Durant. But when Angel received the ball, he noticed that Jarred Jeffries was being pulled far away by Kostic, so he decided to make a fuss about David Lee alone.

Durant has no complaints about this, Anjie is not a sticky person, and he knows that his strong center will not dominate the ball all the time. Occasionally let An Jie attack one by himself, so what's the matter? Not to mention the single David Lee on the inside, this offensive choice is not bad.

David Lee held Anjie's sturdy back with his hand, and before Anjie could exert his strength, he could feel that this muscle would definitely burst out with great strength!

"Bang!" Sure enough, Anjie was not as gentle as David Lee, and he sat back viciously, making David Lee very embarrassed.

Usually An Jie overcomes rigidity with softness, but today, the soft side has become David Lee, so An Jie plans to use the "steel" side to defeat the opponent.

David Lee doesn't know his shortcomings, and if An Jie continues to work hard, he can't stop it. Lee's legs were slightly back and he was going to let Angel fall into the trap himself.

When the opponent was fighting with all his back, he suddenly retreated, and let the opponent hit the air and lose his center of gravity. This kind of trick An Jie has not used, and he has used it more than once.

This time, David Lee plans to use this trick on An Jie, hoping to resolve the crisis.

In the second shot, An Jie began to exert force, and David Lee calculated the time to retreat, giving up space for a step.

An Jie did not fall to the ground, nor did he walk with the ball because of his unstable center of gravity. He was still standing there steadily, seeing that there was no space behind him, An Jie immediately turned over and shot, David Lee wanted to block, but the distance he gave up and the difference in the height and arm span of the two made David Lee's forward pounce meaningless.

"Brush. "Basketball hollow into the net, if David Lee knew that An Jie's back play was uncertain, strong and weak, then he would definitely not play that kind of cleverness.

The reason why An Jie is uncertain when he hits his back is not only to confuse the opponent, but also to prevent the opponent from using the trick of retreating.

The matchup between AnJie and David Lee was actually a microcosm of the first quarter of the game between the Thunder and the Knicks. The Knicks may be able to score a little bit with some unexpected situations, but that still can't match the Thunder's consistent scoring.

After Anjie "played" two balls, Durant also continued his path to dominate the scoring charts.

David Lee and Jeffries were unafraid of Durant on the inside, and Angel sent him a couple of good shots that allowed him to cut inside and hit the basket directly.

Lee is indeed positive, but all he can do is get Durant to the free-throw line again and again.

With five minutes left in the first quarter, Anjie was holding the ball in the high post while David Lee focused on Durant.

It can't be helped, he and Jeffries have already allowed Durant to score nine points on free throws alone.

He plans to get to the designated spot when Durant is about to cut inside, and then Durant will not be able to get space for the layup and will not be able to draw fouls. If you're lucky, David Lee can make Durant hit with the ball.

Looking at Durant's relentless running, David Lee did not dare to relax at all. He had now forgotten who his true counterpoint was!

An Jie found that the pressure behind him was getting less and less, so he didn't pass the ball this time, but turned around directly with David Lee as the axis, and ran towards the basket!

"Damn!" David Lee reacted and was about to grab Anjie's jersey with his hand, when he suddenly remembered that he had already committed two fouls because of Durant, and he was so frightened that he quickly stopped.

After David Lee stopped, there was no one to stop Anjie.

Naturally, he won't miss the opportunity to make a big splash in front of the away fans.

Face the Knicks' basket and meet the desperate eyes of Spike Lee and all the Knicks fans. An Jie's hands were violently clasped, and the entire Madison Square Garden arena fell into dead silence.

This buckle shattered the illusion of how many people won. An Jie told the New Yorkers with practical actions that the gap between the strength of the Thunder and the Knicks is very huge! If you can prevent me, then Durant will inevitably get a chance. If you can stop me and Durant, what are you going to do with Westbrook?

Van Gundy is indeed not good at offensive deployment, but the Thunder's strong offensive talent has covered up this shortcoming of Van Gundy.

After that dunk, Mike D'Antoni had to call a timeout, and he had to make some defensive changes to the Thunder's lineup. Because the first seven minutes of the game have proved that the Knicks and the Thunder are playing against each other, and they are not opponents at all!

After the timeout, Durant and Westbrook were already out of the game, and fake starter Kostic was also on the bench.

Looking at Morris and Anjie's combination of interior, D'Antoni has a headache! Although the rotation has begun, the Thunder's interior defense has become stronger.

Sure enough, after David Lee couldn't put up a show on the defensive end, he is now locked up on the offensive end by the twin towers of the former Whirlwinds.

On a rare occasion, David Lee used his feet to get rid of Anjie and prepare to attack the basket, but Morris suddenly came out and crossed between him and the basket.

David Lee tried to pass the ball but found that Jeffries didn't run out of space at all. In desperation, he had to reluctantly shoot, but the basketball failed to fall into the net.

With the tacit cooperation of Anjie and Morris, David Lee's shooting percentage began to decline.

David Lee was the Knicks' leading scorer, making just 1 of 5 shots after Morris and Anjie partnered inside. That's not a good shooting percentage for an outside player, not to mention that David Lee is a long-term insider.

Seeing that the score was slowly expanding, Van Gundy finally sent Sergi Ibaka to let Anjie go to rest.

David Lee would love to score now, but D'Antoni will have to replace David Lee, who has played a lot of time. And besides, even if David Lee continues to play, he may not be able to cope with the combined defense of Morris and Ibaka.

"Little Potato" Nate Robinson came off the bench to the court after the effect was very average, he repeatedly got rid of Sean Livingston's defense and broke into the inside, but in the face of the tall Thunder inside double black, he was less than 1.8 meters tall and naturally had nothing to do.

From starters to benches, no player on the Knicks can play calmly. On the Thunder side, the situation is just the opposite.

34 to 24, when the Knicks fans were sighing, Catherine cheered in her seat, shouting Anjie's name frantically. This has to be placed on the European football field, and perhaps Catherine has long been beaten by the Knicks fan base.

In the first quarter of the game, the Thunder team pulled the point difference to double digits, does this indicate that the Thunder will also usher in a ten-game winning streak?

The pride and self-confidence of New Yorkers seem to be becoming more and more vulnerable under the fierce offensive of the Thunder. (To be continued.) )
