Chapter 591: The New York Knicks' Offensive End
Collison waited for Hibbert to take his place.
Hibbert is really high, but he's also really slow, and it takes a player to take control of the situation and get him in position.
That's why Larry Bird traded him, Collison made a difference during the time Chris Paul was recovering from injury, but judging by his performances later, his ability was not as good as it appeared.
But it's also normal.
If anyone who suddenly bursts out can turn the ability to burst into the norm, then the annual Most Improved Award is a bit too difficult to choose!
Collison dribbled to the frontcourt, faced Dragic, waited until the Pacers' entire formation had unfolded, and passed the ball to Paul George.
At this time, Paul George did not have the ability to attack with the ball later, and he was more focused on counter-attacking scoring, so he handed the ball directly to Danny Granger.
Granger was also an All-Star small forward back then, but because of injuries, he stopped and stopped for the past two years, but finally returned from injury this season, and with his offensive ability, the entire Pacers team is also on the right track.
It's been a complete blow this season.
He is the main attacker of the Pacers, but at this moment he got the ball more seriously than usual, because it was no one else standing in front of him, it was Yi Jianlian, who had sat firmly at the top of the ESPN rankings for two consecutive years!
And to be ranked first on this list, Yi Jianlian naturally became the undisputed first person in the alliance.
After all, ESPN's ranking has a certain authority in the industry, not to mention that this year, when Yi Jianlian ranked first, there was no controversy among any fans!
This is also a kind of proof.
However, the arrow could not be missed, and Granger rushed directly towards Yi Jianlian with a cross step.
Yi Jianlian guarded Granger's right flank.
His left hand doesn't work very well, just block his right side and force it to the left!
Granger really didn't dare to continue to rush along the right side, Yi Jianlian was taller and stronger than him, where could he resist, so on the left side that was intercepted and walked with him, Granger finally made a difficult decision to take the left side that he was not good at.
But as soon as his idea came out, when he really took the ball and went to the left, Yi Jianlian hurriedly pressed it, this is the opening he gave, and now that Granger got in, he naturally wanted to close the net!
Granger's dribbling immediately became twisted, Yi Jianlian continued to increase his strength, and the ball in Granger's hand suddenly lost control and slipped from his hand.
Petrus on the side immediately grabbed the ball and gave the ball to Yi Jianlian when he ran back.
Yi Jianlian took the ball and ran, Paul George showed his athleticism at this time, he kept up with Yi Jianlian, but unfortunately that's all, two seconds later Yi Jianlian had already rushed into the Pacers' restricted area, his hand holding the ball suddenly shook, the ball flew from his hand to the rebound, smashed on the rebound, and then rebounded back, Yi Jianlian grabbed the ball steadily, and smashed it into the basket.
“wow!” The current commentator is also scared by this ball!
The reason why the self-throwing and grabbing is exciting, in addition to the fact that the action is really gorgeous, is that this action requires the ball carrier to have excellent control of the body, whether it is the action of smashing the ball towards the rebound, or the power of catching the rebounding ball, or the consistency of smashing the ball into the basket, it can reflect the physical fitness and physical condition of a player.
And Yi Jianlian's ball, whether it is the feeling when he shoots, or the strength of smashing into the basket after taking the ball, it can be seen that this guy's body and his use of the body are really good.
The Pacers were the first to attack, but it was New York who scored first.
However, fortunately, the Pacers were not affected by the ball, and Collison waited for Hibbert to settle after dribbling.
It seems that every team that starts with defense is very resilient, in fact, this is also normal, the quality of defense is related to enthusiasm, and positivity is often the embodiment of a team's mental outlook, so there are few teams with good defense and teams with bad toughness!
This time Collison went straight inside, and Hibbert took the ball, made a quick shot, and threw the ball towards the basket, which bounced twice and finally rolled into the basket.
A bit of luck, but it's also strength.
The score is tied,
It was the turn of the New York team to attack, Yi Jianlian failed to receive the ball this time, the Pacers' forward defensive ability was still very good, and Granger and Paul George blocked Yi Jianlian's receiving route well.
But fortunately, Xiao Si received the ball,
Xiao Si took the ball and made a strong basket to complete the one-handed split.
There is no Yi Jianlian to score, and Xiao Si to score.
That's called a breeze.
The score was ahead again.
Hibbert scored on the previous offense, which allowed him to gain possession of the ball on the next offense, only this time after taking the ball, Tyson Chandler posted it on the first time.
Hibbert, who has no offensive ability, doesn't dare to fight!
He gave the ball to Collison again.
After Collison got the ball, there was no one around, so he simply threw it himself!
"Huh!"
The shot went into the basket.
5-4!
The Pacers overtook the score.
The head coach of the Pacers also nodded steadily when he saw Collison shoot this goal, he was not very surprised that Collison scored three points at this time, this guy is the kind of No. 1 position that is very stable and can occasionally contribute a little surprise, in short, he can't make a big offense, but he won't perform very badly.
Yi Jianlian and Xiao Si hit successively, these two guys were also looked after in these two rounds, Dragic saw that the ball could not be passed, so he beckoned Tyson Chandler to make a block for him.
Chandler was very aggressive and gave high quality cover, and after Dragic bypassed him, his eyes suddenly turned into an open field, and Dragic went straight to the basket to complete the attack!
The Knicks scored again!
6-5!
It also took the lead again.
The head coach of the Pacers looked desperate, three balls scored by three different people, what else is this playing? What's the point?
This is also the current situation of the New York team, there are too many points to score, not including Tyson Chandler and Petrus, both of whom have the ability to eat cake.
If Dragic had just been blocked, he would have thrown the ball straight to the rebound, and Tyson Chandler would have completed an empty dunk.
And if Chandler had been blocked at that time, then Dragic could have gone to Petrus.
In short, he has so many points to choose from!
This New York team is really hard to limit, especially on the offensive end!
Of course, this is because Yi Jianlian was targeted, he attracted too much defensive attention, which also allowed these guys to have more space to play!
