Chapter 360: The Coming Problem

After Stoudemire scored the ball, Anjie smiled excitedly, instead of remorse. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This monster, maybe in life he likes to be simple, but on the basketball court, the more challenging the game, the more enjoyable it is for An Jie!

"Let's go Felton, let's attack it!" An Jie finished speaking, sent out a baseline ball, and unhurriedly marched towards the half court guarded by the Knicks.

The Knicks' attack just now, the entanglement of "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler made Anjie feel very uncomfortable. This time, Anjie had planned to meet the strong contender for the Defensive Player of the Year on the offensive end. But when he stepped into the three-point line, An Jie found that the person who came up to defend him was not Chandler, but Stoudemire who had just provoked him!

"Do you want to use Chandler to defend LaMarcus?" Anjie didn't understand why the Knicks were arranging it this way, in fact, it was a sign of Mike Woodson's confidence in Stoudemire. He believes that an angry Stoudemire is definitely the best knife to defend Anjie. That way, the Knicks could also free up a Defensive Player of the Year candidate to strangle the Trail Blazers' second-in-command.

As a result, the Trail Blazers' offense will be at a stalemate. Taking advantage of this time to quickly establish an advantage, when Anjie is out of the game, Woodson plans to completely open the score!

It was with this consideration that Woodson specially arranged such a change of defense. However, Woodson's decision has proved to be the right one for now.

Stoudemire has a very good set of defending Anjie, after all, everyone is an old opponent who is familiar with each other, and they have a few pounds and taels for each other, and the other party has a bottom in their hearts.

Anjie is now carrying the ball with the basket on his back, but it is very uncomfortable for him to turn around. Stoudmier stuck Anjie's turning space, not because of how powerful Stoudemire was, but because he was familiar with Anjie's turning habits!

Anjie was afraid that he would be blown for a violation because he had been carrying his back for too long, so he planned to hand over the task of finishing the attack to Aldridge.

However, if even Anjie has a hard time getting rid of Chandler's entanglement, then Aldridge is even more so.

"The King of Fighters" was like kraft candy, biting Aldridge to death. Aldridge struggled to run and barely received the ball, but receiving the ball was only the first step, and how to beat the strong man in front of him after receiving the ball was the most critical point.

With the ball in hand, Aldridge was on the verge of shooting, but the experienced Chandler was unmoved. Chandler has seen a lot of this kind of feint, and he knows very well which ones are real and which are fake.

Seeing that he could not get space to shoot, Aldridge was ready to break through directly. But the moment he made contact with Chandler, he immediately dismissed the idea of forcing a breakthrough to the basket.

Chandler's guy is just too strong! And he's very good at defending his feet, not letting you get space or stepping back too quickly.

Aldridge barely managed to get to the basket under the intense physical confrontation, but even then, he found himself without getting any chance to make a layup.

Helplessly, the Trail Blazers' twin towers had no choice but to hit the ball out again. However, Wesley Matthews' first three-point shot was off the basket, and he was not to blame, but Anjie and Aldridge had too little time to prepare and adjust. Matthews didn't even have time to make moves to buy space for himself, so he had to hurry up.

By the time Matthews received the ball, 24 seconds were running out. Forcing the shot, this is Matthews' only option.

Anjie didn't dare to rush forward to grab rebounds under Stoudemire's card position, he knew that Stoudemire would not hesitate to use fake falls against him, and if he was saddled with a foul because of competing for rebounds, it was really not cost-effective.

So, Stoudemire safely protected the rebound. Mike Woodson smirked when he saw that the ball was firmly in the hands of the Knicks.

Anjie and Aldridge, the Trail Blazers' most powerful weapons and one of the league's most powerful interior combinations, were just like that, and they were solved by themselves!? Woodson would certainly be happy because he solved a problem that many teams couldn't solve.

"The Knicks did a fantastic job defensively, and Ann and Aldridge's first offense was met with strong blocks. "It's not often that Mike Brin and Aldridge are so embarrassed on the offensive end. However, he knew that these two big men with explosive offensive ability would definitely come up with effective solutions. This game will be an offensive and defensive game between the insiders.

After the Trail Blazers' offensive failure, Carmelo Anthony was not far behind and finally fired. As soon as he advanced beyond the three-point line, he jumped straight to the basket. A three-pointer caught Gerard Wallace off guard. The basketball hollowed into the net again, and Anthony compared his right hand to a pistol and shot at the Trail Blazers' basket. Today, his shot is as accurate as a bullet.

The Knicks did a good job of following Woodson's setup, and on both occasions, they used shots from outside the three-second zone as a means of attack. Because the best way to avoid Anjie is to stay away from the three-second zone.

Maybe other teams use this method to cause their shooting percentage to drop significantly, which can lead to the opposite effect. But the Knicks, who have many good shooting players, are definitely the most suitable team for this offensive deployment.

Whether it's Stoudemire or Anthony, or their starting small forward Landry Fields and Iman Shambaugh on the bench, they are all very accurate players.

Woodson certainly knows that shooting alone won't solve the problem. But at least during the time that Anjie was on the floor, the Knicks could rely on shooting to stabilize the situation and not be pressed by the Trail Blazers.

After two rounds of offense and defense, Woodson's strategy was well executed. If the game continues like this, there is no need to wait for Anjie to go down, and the Knicks will be able to fully control the initiative of the game.

However, if the game can be as good as the coaches of both sides expected, then the charm of basketball will not be so great. The reason there are so many timeouts in basketball is because the situation on the court is changing so quickly that the head coach has to adjust to the current situation at any time. And the variables of this game started with this offense of the Trail Blazers.

Ricard didn't actually make any changes, but the Trail Blazers players on the court were going to solve their own problems on the offensive end first.

The Knicks' defensive strategy hasn't changed, with Stoudemire still tangling with Angel and Tyson Chandler sticking to Aldridge.

Continuing to grind with these two diehards in the low post may be difficult to achieve. Although the strength of the Trail Blazers is on the inside, this time, Anjie feels that it may be better to start the offense from the outside.

As soon as Filton adjusted the rhythm of possession, Anjie was raised from the low post. Although Anjie's projection ability is not as perverted as Aldridge's, it can be regarded as very accurate. Therefore, Stoudemire did not dare to slack off, so he had to follow An Jie out of the three-second zone.

Facton flicked a shot to the left, and the inexperienced Jeremy Lin reflexively shook his center of gravity. That slightest wavering was enough for Felton to get rid of Jeremy Lin's defense. It's not because of how fast Felton is, but because he knows how good Anjie's blocking quality is.

Sure enough, Jeremy Lin, who saw that he had been deceived, suddenly changed his center of gravity and threw himself in the opposite direction. However, this time, he hit the "wall" made by An Jie solidly.

Jeremy Lin's physical condition was already very average, and with the strong An Jie like this, Jeremy Lin completely stagnated. The first collision between these two yellow-skinned guys, the gap is very obvious!

Felton easily snuggled inside, while Stoudemire was still on the outside with Anjie, and Anthony and Fields were sticking to Matthews and Gerard Wallace from beyond the three-point line, respectively. In other words, the only person who can stop Felton's layup right now is Tyson Chandler!

But Chandler is still hesitating, whether he will continue to carry Aldridge or leave him to fill the penalty area?

No matter how high the shooting rate is, there is a chance that you will not be able to shoot. And if you throw the box to the opponent for an empty basket, it is almost impossible for the opponent not to score.

Thinking about it this way, Chandler finally left Aldridge behind and made up for it in the direction of Felton.

Seeing Chandler moving sideways, Facton didn't do anything, he made a light pass and flicked the ball to Aldridge, who was in the open position.

As soon as Aldridge lifted the basketball to shoot, he saw a figure wearing a white Knicks home jersey coming at him.

Seeing this, Aldridge hurriedly stopped. In the next second, Stoudemire, who pounced in the air, flew past Aldridge's eyes.

"It's good that he didn't make a shot, otherwise Stoudemire's career would have added another wonderful block!" Even Mike Brin, who was commentating the game in the audience, sweated for Stoudemire.

Now, Chandler and Stoudemire, who were supposed to fight Anjie and Aldridge, have both left their positions.

Aldridge made an easy pass and hit the ball back to square one.

After Stoudemire was shaken off by Aldridge, he saw Anjie holding the ball and killing in the box.

Now, the first reaction of Chandler and "Little Overlord" is that this guy must be stopped!

So the Knicks' two tough interior lines both rushed towards An Jie, and An Jie, in the face of these two moving walls, he was not afraid.

As soon as one foot stepped into the free throw line, An Jie jumped. Jumping from the free throw line to dunk? No, it's not a fairy tale, and Anjie can't do that kind of action. The reason why he jumped so far from the basket was because Anjie intended to finish the offense with a throw.

Stoudemire and Chandler really didn't expect An Jie to have this hand, they both hurriedly jumped and blocked, but they didn't touch the basketball, but because of inertia, An Jie was knocked to the ground.

At that moment, a sharp whistle sounded throughout the audience. And the basketball thrown out by An Jie was also hollowed into the net!

"Hit a three-point opportunity! Well done, Anjie successfully cracked the Knicks' interior defense strategy!" Mike Brin knew that Anjie and Aldridge would find a way to solve the problem, but he didn't expect this to happen so quickly.

Anjie still scored the ball under the overwhelming boos of the Knicks fans, and Woodson did not expect that his defensive strategy would come to an end in just two rounds.

If you want to defeat the pioneers, this little carving insect skill is not enough.

In the following game, the two sides attacked and defended each other. The Knicks relied on Anthony and Stoudemire to play very well, and the teamwork of Anjie and his teammates also made the Knicks miserable.

The score was not pulled apart until the moment the substitutes on both sides came on the pitch that the situation tilted.

Marcus Camby was snapped into a sieve by J.R. Smith, and Steve Novak's accurate three-pointer also made the Trail Blazers' bench players unable to cope.

The originally flat score was quickly widened, and when the first quarter of the game ended, the Knicks had an eight-point lead! You know, when An Jie just came off the court, the scores of both sides were equal.

With an eight-point advantage to end the first quarter, the Knicks must have been very satisfied. Their second lineup, in particular, has beaten the Trail Blazers' bench to the brim.

Ricard could never have imagined that his team would be in trouble because of someone else's second team.

Fortunately, there are still three quarters to be played in the game, and Ricard already has a plan in mind.

The scales of victory have tipped in the Knicks' favor, and now Riccard must find another point of support to turn the tide. And Anjie is the most practical repair tool for him to repair the balance!
