Chapter 464: Changing Formations (Chapter 5)

Yi Jianlian asked for the ball again, but this time he communicated with Xiao Si in advance and asked him to help get a position, and after receiving the ball, he directly used Xiao Si's human wall to get rid of Rudy Guy, and made a three-point jumper outside the three-point line.

It's really not Yi Jianlian who is boasting because Xiao Si is his teammate, Xiao Si's blocking and dismantling ability is not the first in this league, so he can also enter the top three!

"Wow, ahhhh

The scene gave a warm cheer because of Yi Jianlian's three points.

Yi Jianlian's expression did not change at all, this goal was at most a life-saving goal, but it did not affect the entire situation of the Knicks at all.

The Knicks are still in a situation where they are being suppressed by the Grizzlies.

But Yi Jianlian didn't know how to push the team, and when Xiao Si was suppressed, this team couldn't find another point that could make him feel reliable.

Originally, this point could also be him.

But the problem is that Filton is not Mo Williams, he does not have the latter's ability to contain and the latter does not have the same tacit understanding with himself.

"Smack!"

Felton's pass was successfully predicted by Rudy Guy and completed the steal, and Yi Jianlian, who was still preparing to give Felton's signal, had to quickly return to defense.

This is Felton's biggest problem.

His passing ability is also not outstanding.

Especially when he's up against a positional powerhouse like the Grizzlies, his passes can easily turn into turnovers.

Fortunately, the Knicks' full defense was quite fast and prevented the Grizzlies from launching a fast break.

"Raymond, maybe you need a coffee pick-me-up? What the hell were you trying to do with that pass? D'Antoni yelled at Felton, who was supposed to concentrate on the defensive end and was distracted by D'Antony's words, and Mike Conley took the opportunity to break through and pick up a basket.

omg!

D'Antoni held his head in his hands, and he really didn't know what to say to Felton!

"Substitution!"

"Raymond, come down quickly!"

"This is the worst point guard I've ever seen!"

The audience at the scene also because of Felton's poor performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in this round, and the incessant and irritable New York home fans are about to start again!

It's just that their invective did not make Felton perform well, but made mistakes one after another.

Hollins was also ruthless enough, seeing that Felton's condition was not good, he simply aimed all his offensive firepower at Felton in the second half of the first quarter, which made the already shaky Felton's entire performance drop another notch.

I didn't see it at all.

D'Antoni wanted to replace him, but looking at the guys sitting on the Knicks' bench at the moment, he decided to give Felton some time and adjust slowly.

He can't help it, this is his first year in office, and it is also the first year that the Knicks have come out of the sea of suffering, although it is now on the right track, but the impact of the quagmire in the first four years is not something that Downey can eliminate with a few trades, the core players of the Knicks are now good, even if it is Felton, his usual performance is not so bad, and his ability is above the average point guard in the league.

But the problem is that in addition to these main players, the rest are either veterans with a base salary or temporary workers or rookies who are poached from the development league, and he doesn't want to use them and dare not use them.

The head coach did not make changes, and the Knicks could only continue to be so sluggish, until the end of the first quarter, and Felton showed no signs of recovery, because of his slump, the Knicks fell behind by 8 points at 19-27 in the first quarter.

Yi Jianlian scored 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and most of the team's scores in the first quarter were related to him.

This shows that he still has no problem playing tonight.

The stark 5 turnovers in Felton's stats column were the main reason why the Knicks were behind, and Jr. shot 2-of-6 from the field, which was one of the reasons why the Knicks were suppressed today.

"Guys, we need to pick up the pace, I mean, we can't get in the middle of the pitch, we don't have any advantage in playing like that, so Raymond, I need you to bring out the push that you're good at, you shouldn't be tempted by Mike Conley on the other side, what I want to see is the way you've been playing the way you've been playing in the past!"

At the intermission, D'Antoni, who had scolded for the entire first quarter, was ready to change his routine and take a warm route to help Felton get back into shape.

Felton was very moved, and as soon as the game went up in the second quarter, he sent another mistake, allowing the opposite side to play directly into a fast attack.

D'Antoni was so angry that his little eyes narrowed into a line, lowered his head, patted his head, and felt that his brain hurt, this grandson is too disappointing, right?

"Or, can I try it and play the number one?"

After another pause, Yi Jianlian finally said what he had been thinking about for a long time.

"You play the number one position?"

D'Antoni was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Yi Jianlian's superb ball control skills and excellent overall view, and subconsciously nodded, "Okay, you can try!" ”

D'Antoni decided to try what Yi Jianlian said, let him be the number one, how to say that sentence, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, anyway, he can't think of a better way.

The Knicks changed the lineup so quickly, Yi Jianlian played the No. 1 position, Felton was not taken, but placed in the No. 2 position, and D'Antoni took the rookie Landry Fields in the No. 3 position, and the No. 3 position in New York, except for Yi Jianlian, only he was reliable.

That's the current state of the New York Knicks, whose starting lineup is completely top-notch in the league, but the bench isn't even second-rate in the league.

But even so, the team's total salary this year still exceeds the luxury tax.

It can be seen from this that the "smiling assassin" Thomas has been the general manager and head coach in New York for several years, and what kind of disaster has this team become!

The fourth position took Channing Fry, after all, the second and third positions have no range, and if the fourth position does not have a range, where can this run hit.

The No. 5 position is still Xiao Si.

When the new Knicks lineup came onto the court, the audience was in an uproar:

"This, what kind of strange lineup is this? How come there are two small forwards on the court? ”

"Why did you let Felton come up! Our backcourt is so bad that we don't even have a replacement for Felton? ”

Most Knicks fans immediately cursed again when they saw that Felton could still play, but when the Knicks served in the backcourt, they reacted:

"No, no, it's easy to be a point guard? Damn, Yi is actually a point guard? ”

Yi Jianlian waited for the ball in the backcourt, and judging from the positions of the Knicks players who had passed on the court, the two remaining players on the Grizzlies who were not in position were Marc Gasol and Mike Conley.

Marc Gasol naturally followed Xiao Si who served on the baseline, and Mike Conley ...... Only Yi Jianlian is left with no one to defend!

"I, me" the corners of Hollins' mouth twitched, why don't you play like this!
