After a short halftime break, the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets continued their showdown at the Madison Square Arena in Madison, Mecca. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the start of the third quarter of the game, Sun Yi found that the player who was marking him had become Artest with a hot personality and a tough style. The protagonist of the Auburn Palace affair was suspended by the league for 73 games in the 04-05 season, and the salary loss alone was as high as $5 million. One season later, he was sent to the Kings by the Pacers, and this season he was transferred to Houston.

Artest, who has endured a major setback in his career, has re-proven his worth with the Rockets this year. Especially when the team's number one star Maddy was reimbursed for the season, he bravely took up the burden and became an indispensable helper for super center Yao Ming. He and Battier form the outside line of the Rockets, and their defensive ability is among the best in the league.

It can be said that the team is currently ranked third in the West, and it is inseparable from Artest, who has changed his mind and become a new man.

This adjustment of Team Rocket made the mustache confused for a while. This is not good news for Chinese rookies. Sun Yi, who had just found a way to deal with his Duke University brother in the second half of the second quarter, had to adapt to his new opponent again. And this opponent is definitely a hard nut to crack.

Adelman, who led the team to compete with the Spurs for the second place in the West, also spent a lot of brain cells in order to win this game. Judging from the current situation on the field, his efforts are not in vain.

In particular, the defense of Chinese rookies has been very successful, and although Sun Yi has scored 18 points in the first quarter, his offensive efficiency is well below his season average.

Limiting Sun Yi's efficiency is equivalent to limiting the play of the entire Knicks.

Since he has not yet figured out Artest's routine, the Knicks are relatively cautious in their individual offensive selection. When he is organizing the team's offense, he often looks for Richardson, who is opposite Brooks. As the captain of the team, BIGQ tends to play well against opponents who are not as tall as him.

50 to 56!

When the game entered the official timeout in the third quarter, the underdog home team was still critical of the score.

"Rebound! Backboard! Everybody, every defense, every rebound has to do their best. We need to get the pace of the game up......" Knicks head coach D'Antoni.

"We did a good job defending today, and if we keep going, the victory will get closer and closer......" Rockets coach Adelman said 'did a good job defensively today', undoubtedly referring to the good marking effect on the Knicks Scout.

The arrangement of the two managers was carried out by the players on the field.

One side scrambled for rebounds in an attempt to launch a stormy fast break to crush the opponent in one fell swoop. The other side stood unmoved in the storm, still unhurriedly controlling the pace of the game.

As the teammates' hand felt declined, the Chinese rookie, who had been holding back, watched the score of the two teams pull away again, and had to go head-to-head with the Rockets' titan Artest.

With the exception of James, the chosen one, players who are generally good at strength are certainly not very good at flexibility. In order to be able to get rid of the difficult opponent in front of him smoothly, the Knicks Tanhuaxiu began to dribble under the crotch while controlling the distance between the two.

Sun Yi's current level of ball control can not only do all kinds of dazzling tricks at will, but also deceive opponents with any part of his body. For example, wrists, feet, shoulders, eyes, expressions, etc.

After two consecutive highly confusing changes of hands and changing directions, Artest, who was standing opposite, was obviously a little impatient. If you want to put aside Atai from previous years, you don't have to talk nonsense and stick it directly on the opponent's waist with your elbow, and you can't escape from his palm even if you play the feint.

But now the rules of the league and the referee's blowing penalties are more and more inclined to the attacking side. All defensive actions that go beyond the range of the cylinder are considered fouls.

Some of the titans of Team Rocket, who are tied up, can only try their best to control their desire to attack, waiting for the opponent's next move.

Seeing that the opponent was a little undecided, the young Chinese teenager immediately took a lightning first step. The speed of this step is enough to laugh at the entire alliance.

Artest, who was in a passive state, was suddenly rushed by Sun Yi in an instant.

Although there are still their teammates in the penalty area, the high-spirited Rockets warriors have not given up this defense.

Artest, who was half a position behind, knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't stop the other party now, then the distance between the two would be further and further apart.

He has been in the league for many years, and he gently nudges his opponent with his forearm in the side and behind the back.

'Gentle push' can really be said to be a very gentle push in the eyes of Artest, who is known for his strength. But when applied to the Chinese youngsters who are accelerating their breakthroughs, the effect is very obvious.

I saw Sun Yi, who was about to get rid of the defense, and suddenly his steps began to stumble.

Backbite!

When the referee's whistle blew, everyone thought it must have been a foul from the Rockets. Even if no one saw Artest's small movements, judging from Sun Yi's performance, it was obviously affected by external forces.

The young referee made a surprise decision, and walked! Knicks No. 8 Walking!

Woooooo

The huge boos that resounded throughout the arena found the young third referee again.

The experienced first referee can only smile bitterly in his heart for the somewhat reckless blowing penalty of the little partner. That's overkill!

Although Sun Yi's out-of-control movements look very abrupt and a bit exaggerated, you also have to see who is defending him and how the two compare in size. Artest's small actions have indeed deceived most people, but as long as you have enough law enforcement experience, you will definitely be able to judge what exactly happened just now.

Since the violation has been blown, then it has to be done.

Regarding the poor performance of the referee in this game, the mustache who endured it again and again finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. Standing on the sidelines and shouting accusations: "You are blowing a ****!" ”

Backbite!

In order to protect his young partner, the first referee could only make a mistake and give Knicks head coach D'Antoni a technical foul.

……

Young teams are often susceptible to off-field factors and referee blowing scale interference to affect the state of the game. In this game, the Knicks, who had many controversial decisions from the referee, were obviously confused.

62 to 72!

At the end of the third quarter, the scarlet numbers on the scoreboard stung every home team player who fought hard for the playoffs.

In the face of an extremely unfavorable situation and a backward score, D'Antoni, who gave it a go, will play the average David in this game. Lee stepped down and sent Harrington to be more mobile and nimble.

The Knicks coach's gamble-like substitution did not have a surprise effect in the final quarter, but instead made the opponent's advantage in rebounding more obvious.

88 to 74!

With five minutes left in the game, the Houston Rockets were already on the back of the road.

The Knicks players, who took advantage of the pause to catch their breath, sat on their chairs one by one and hung their heads. Even the arrogant Chinese youngsters have a rare look of confusion in their eyes.

He thought that it would not be difficult to use his super explosive power to deal with Artest, who is known for his strength. Unexpectedly, the speed of the rocket titan itself is not slow. As long as the other party sticks to himself with his body, Sun Yi will feel very uncomfortable.

The huge difference in weight and strength between the two makes it difficult for the Chinese youngster to maintain his rhythm and thus form an effective breakthrough. In general, if you can't get in, then use the shot to divert the attention of the defender. But today's average feeling of Sun Yi rarely shot on the periphery in the previous games.

The pause, which lasted just over two minutes, was over quickly.

The Knicks scout show, who bowed his head and pondered, was about to re-enter the show, when he was suddenly replaced by the black director Spike who was sitting on the sidelines. Lee shouted.

As usual, the number one Knicks fan, who wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses, pulled the No. 8 jersey on his hand. said loudly to Sun Yi: "Sun! Cheer up, I'm sure you can do it. ”

Believe in yourself! What a word to wake up a dreamer!

The shadow of the last defeat to Celtic has been hanging over the heads of China's rookie today. Sun Yi, who wants to win and is afraid of losing, has lost his unstoppable sharpness in the past. Every time he misses a shot, he will be given a strong psychological cue. You don't feel good today, try to leave the opportunity to your teammates. Coupled with the fact that the Rockets did a good job defensively, the Knicks, who had just won the Player of the Month, fell into a vicious cycle of wave after wave.

Sun Yi, who figured out what was going on, finally showed a sunny smile. Gratefully towards Spike, who woke him up. Lee nodded, then turned around and strode into the arena......

Bang!

The Chinese youngster, who fired on the periphery, threw a ball with slightly more power, and the ball smashed on the neck of the basket and bounced into the distance. Although Sun Yi didn't score this three-point pull, Artest, who defended him, with years of experience, obviously felt that the state of the Chinese guy in front of him was the same as before.

The rebounding ball that bounced high landed in Chandler's hands.

"Wells, here!"

The Knicks, who missed a three-pointer, were unaffected in the slightest, shouting at his teammates for the fairway.

Sun Yi, who dribbled on the left side of the arc, made a gesture with his raised left hand, and all his teammates pulled to the other side to create offensive space for the Chinese guy who was preparing for singles.

The one-on-one heads-up between the stars is the most popular scene for all fans. Although the team was behind in the score, the home crowd couldn't help but stand up after seeing this scene.

New York fans are known to be picky in the league, but they're also the ones who know the ball best. Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! …… The spontaneous applause of the audience coincided with the dribbling rhythm of the Chinese rookie.

Sun Yi, who was high-spirited, did not let the fans who cheered for him wait too long. A simple change of direction breakout, immediately followed by a step-back step to pull out three points.

The Chinese guy who regained his confidence, the whole action was smooth, which made Artest in front of him stunned.

Swish! The sound of the rapidly spinning ball and the grinding of the nets reached the ears of everyone in Madison Square Square through the speakers on the hoops.

Sun Yi, who reopened the three-point account, was lucky to get a backcourt rebound after Artest missed the shot and immediately launched a fast attack.

Swish! The grinding sound sounded again.

The Knicks, who played out of form, hit another three-pointer.

In less than a minute, Sun Yi, who scored 6 points in a row, forced the difference between the two teams to within 10 points.

Adelman, the head coach of the Rockets who has been walking around today, found that the home team that was behind the score was full of momentum because of these two three-pointers. While he was hesitating to make a final move, the Knicks scored again.

Two consecutive three-point hits not only allowed the Chinese teenager to regain his touch, but also put the Rockets who defended him in a dilemma.

If it is too tight, it is not conducive to defending the opponent's breakthrough. If it wasn't posted, who knows if the guy who suddenly looked like a different person would hit the third three-pointer.

At this time, Sun Yi would not consider the other party's feelings, and after discovering the opponent's momentary hesitation, he immediately accelerated his breakthrough from his right hand. Due to the close distance between the two, by the time Artest turned around, the Chinese guy had already disappeared.

In the face of the national team's big brother Yao Ming's supplementary defense, the Knicks Tanhua Show was not intimidated by the opponent's height. When dealing with big players, the most effective thing is speed.

Sun Yi, who showed no signs of slowing down, tensed his whole body muscles at the moment when the two were about to make contact, and once again made an unexpected change of direction, and after getting rid of the frontal defense of the Rockets center, he easily scored 2 points with a backhand layup.

82 to 88!

Fans at Madison Square Square fell into a frenzy when they saw the passionate performance of the Chinese rookie......

Spike, who held back the game on the sidelines. Li finally had the confidence to stand up and applaud the team.

Seeing that his subordinate Ai would be defeated by the Chinese guy, Adelman had to ask for a timeout to lay out his final hole cards.

After the timeout, the Rockets were led by Yao Ming in Kwame. Brown hit a small hook on the top of his head, finally stabilizing the shaky situation a bit.

"Sun! Grandchild! Grandchild! ”

Fans will call out their favorite players by name at the most critical moments.

Chinese rookie Sun Yi is undoubtedly the darling of this stadium.

The Knicks, who were about to attack again, suddenly found that the opponent had a two-man package strategy. And this time, it's Bille. Allen and Pierce's even more terrifying defensive combination - Sean. Batyrgarohn. Artest.

The attention of Team Rocket aroused the pride in Sun Yi's heart. Come, you want to fight, then fight!

Despite being in a state of extreme excitement, the young Chinese youngster remained calm. He didn't recklessly shoot or break through, nor did he give the ball to his teammates in a fit of heart.

After two tests, Sun Yi found that as long as he came near the three-point line, Battier, who was not far away, would immediately come over. After he retreated, the other party quickly returned to his original position.

Hey! This NM is copying the tactics learned by the Celts! (To be continued.) )
