413: Pay attention to the number of fouls (five more for support!) )
The fight had only been a few rounds into the game, and Ronnie. Brewer was fouled twice. Though. Smith is the Knicks' sixth man and has actually played more minutes than Brewer.
But the fact that the starting quarterback was so passively sitting on the bench definitely had an impact on the Knicks.
"Are they emotionally okay? Why don't you call a pause to adjust? Off the court, Grizzlies assistant coach Elston. Turner reminded Stevens of the day.
Stevens was initially worried about the players' emotions, but when he found out that Ringo and Randolph were premeditated and havoc, he was relieved to sit back on the bench.
"It's not us who are emotionally out of control, it's the Knicks. If we take a timeout now, we're calling a timeout for the Knicks. I trust them, and they'll take care of everything. "Stevens waved his hand, Link is not an impulsive player.
The game went on and Smith was very, very active when he came on. After a series of lows in the Nuggets and China, he followed in Anthony's footsteps to New York.
Just when people were thinking. When it would make a mess in the Knicks' locker room, Smith unexpectedly had a conversation with a serious Mike. Coach Woodson fits perfectly.
Coupled with the presence of Anthony, an old friend, he had a very good time playing with the Knicks.
Smith is not an off-ball shooter now, but a ball-handling single-hander. This period. Lezhong plays all kinds of key balls, lore balls, all kinds of folding lever buckles, butterfly steps are constantly emerging, and the style of play is extremely ornamental.
While. After coming on the court, the Knicks' offensive points actually became two. But in basketball, it's not about whoever has more offensive points to win.
This time, Raymond. Felton obviously got rid of Iguodala and had a shooting opportunity.
But Anthony chose to pass the ball to someone he trusted more. Smith, Smith held the ball in front of Link's defense and seemed to be very relaxed.
But Link didn't and. With some reservations, as soon as Smith received the ball, Link posted it roughly.
He knows. Smith doesn't like physical confrontation, so give him physical confrontation!
Smith did play a lot of trouble in the face of confrontation, and his skills were not shown.
Eventually, he chose to rush out and make a pull-up jump shot. This guy's shooting options have always been a mystery.
Link immediately reached for the first time. In front of him, he was seriously disturbed!
In such a situation, Smith's shooting is iron!.Smith's offensive skills are completely ineffective in strong confrontations!
Against this kind of nerve knife, Link has a lot of experience.
The Knicks' offense failed again, and now, Conley is starting to play steadily.
The Knicks are in a hurry, but the Grizzlies can't be in a hurry.
The young but calm point guard pressed the tempo and calmed Link and Randolph. They're now more focused on their goal – to spur the Knicks on while playing their own basketball!
Ronnie. After Brewer went off the court, the Knicks' defense was a big problem. The outside line is too short to be Mike. The dilemma Woodson had to face.
1.93m Kidd to 1.98m Iguodala.
1.98 meters, to 2.03 meters Link. Not to mention that the Knicks' other outside line, Felton, is only 1.85 meters, and whoever hits him in the wrong position has an absolute advantage.
Soon, the Grizzlies made a big fuss about their outside height advantage.
Linkla drew the defense into the bottom corner, and Iguodala and Conley exchanged hands. As a result, Filton had to defend Iguodala in a bad position......
Then, Iguodala made a mid-range jumper that Facton couldn't interfere with. Iguodala isn't just a defensive stalwort, he's a threat to his shots.
The basketball hit again, and the Grizzlies equalized.
The more the Grizzlies scored, the more anxious the Knicks became. After all, who wants the advantage they've gained to just disappear?
After that, the Knicks moved bigger and bigger.
Dark elbows, trash talk, ramming, tugging, hurried whistles...... These things are all over the game.
When it was time for the turnaround, the Knicks let "Roaring Celestial" Rashid. After Wallace came on the field, the scene was even more "lively".
Randolph paid two fouls, and Anthony also had two fouls after Brewer and went off early.
In this way, after the first quarter of the two sides, the score became 29-25. The Memphis Grizzlies temporarily led by four points as the game went into intermission.
"It's so intense, it's just hand-to-hand combat. It can be seen that the two teams with the best records in the league are hungry for this victory. Therefore, the intensity of the game is very scary. I hope the referee can handle the scale and not let the scene get out of control. "Hubby. Brown wanted the game not to get out of hand, but the people who played the game didn't.
"In the second quarter of the game, strengthen the breakthrough!" Stevens wasted no time, and as soon as the players were seated, he immediately laid out his strategy for the second quarter.
"The other party is very rough and anxious, they move a lot. So in the second quarter, I need you to kill the interior more and force them to foul! In the first quarter of the game, both Brewer and Anthony had two fouls, which had already disrupted their plans! Of course, we have to calm down ourselves. Especially you Zack, you've already fouled twice, give me attention to the action! ”
Stevens wasn't intimidated by the toughness of the opponent, which undoubtedly brought him closer to the Grizzlies players.
"Finally, I want to say, protect yourself for me! Dangerous moves, don't try them. They move big, we make them pay, it's as simple as that. Don't pay the price. Okay, go ahead, we can get them, we've got the upper hand, one, two, three, grizzly! ”
The break was short, and some of the players were back on the pitch before they were sweating well.
Rashid. Wallace was one of them, coming off the bench in the first quarter but starting in the second quarter. After all, Anthony has already committed 2 fouls, Mike. Woodson couldn't risk him in the No. 4 position anymore.
So, the 38-year-old "Roaring Tianzun" was ordered to be in danger, and Tyson. Chandler partners on the inside.
Link hasn't taken his eyes off Wallace since he came on the court. Speaking of which, there are a lot of antiques on the Knicks, in addition to Rashid, there is also Kurt. Thomas, Prigioni and other post-70s generations are worthy of being the oldest teams with an average age this season.
These old antiques can give the Knicks tournament experience, but of course, they also have drawbacks.
As soon as the Knicks came up in the second quarter, Anthony hit a shot in Iguodala's head. To be honest, Link feels like Anthony is actually more comfortable playing at the No. 3 position.
In that case, let's get Anthony back to the fourth position as soon as possible!
The score was forced to close to two points, but the Grizzlies were in no hurry. Next, they were going to start executing Stevens' strategy.
Mike. In order to protect Anthony, Woodson still used it on the defensive end. Go to Shou Link. It's also the kind of master who can do a good job of defense, but he often wanders.
This time in the face of Link, he took his guard very seriously. In the face of Randolph's pick-and-roll, he chose to go around the front hard, and did not retreat to give Link space to shoot.
Seeing that Smith was working so hard, Mike. Woodson couldn't have been happier.
But it didn't take long for Woodson to see Link leaning against him. Inside Attack! Link's breakthrough was very decisive, and he must have planned it a long time ago!
I was afraid of Link's pull-up jumper, so I didn't dare to rush too hard. And just like that, Link easily made his way into the box. At this time, the one who defended Link's side was Rashid. Wallace!
He's exactly what Link was targeting!
Wallace is known for his roughness, but Link is not afraid! Are they all 38 years old, can they compare with 28?
"Stinky boy, you're so fat!" Wallace is not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and seeing that Link dares to challenge himself, he actively jumps up to cover it!
But Wallace had just taken off when his body began to fall! is 38 years old, and he is no longer the "Roaring Tianzun" who can send 6 blocks in a single game!
Link pressed Wallace in the air and made an easy layup. But Wallace wasn't the kind of person who would like to watch the other team score, and he didn't want to push it, causing Link to fall to the ground.
It's okay, it's a 2-point ball, Rashid. Wallace had to turn him into a three-pointer.
The referee's whistle blew, Wallace fouled the defense, and Link stood on the free throw line and got the opportunity to play 2+1! Stevens swung his fist excitedly, Link's tactical execution ability is really strong, and if he says kill, he kills!
Tianzun didn't refute, but just lamented the ruthlessness of the years. Now, I was actually bullied by this kind of kid......
And Mike. Woodson was nervous, and if Wallace also went off the court for too many fouls, then Anthony would have to return to the No. 4 position, and then ......
The Memphis Grizzlies are gradually taking control of the game under Link's super execution.
