Chapter 615 [The Battle of the Comeback, Marking Three Points]

That night, many fans went to Madison Square Garden to watch the game.

Even though the Knicks have a bad record in recent years, their home attendance is still good, ranking seventh in the league this season. This is worthy of the headquarters of the NBA, the largest city in the United States, no matter how bad the team is, there is no lack of attention, and it still makes money.

When the player played, Knicks fans gave Guo Xu a huge boo. Guo Xu didn't know when he offended them, maybe they just wanted to see the sun unlucky, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.

The game was not broadcast live in the United States, and when arranging the schedule, officials felt that there was no suspense about the Knicks vs Suns.

China CCTV5 live, this day in China is Saturday morning, many fans will choose to watch NBA games during the holiday. The Rockets' game started later than the Knicks, and the time difference between the East and West was different, and the two games were broadcast in a row.

Zhang said: "The Suns have injured three people, but they still have an advantage against the Knicks and are expected to win three in a row. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Manager Isaiah Thomas personally coached, but the team had a terrible start, mainly depending on the performance of Curry and Marbury. ”

The Knicks' lineup is very different from Guo Xu's previous life, which can be said to be chaotic, and the depth of the lineup is not as good as the team coached by Brown.

Miraculously, the deal for the 2006 draft pick is still there, and in order to get Curry, the Knicks gave the Bulls next year's first-round pick, and if this continues, the Bulls can pick a high pick.

The only good news is that the Knicks did not send the 2007 draft swap to the Bulls this time, and the Bulls and Knicks swapped in the previous life, and selected Joakim Noah with the 9th pick in 2007, a future All-Star, and a high-quality interior player who won the best defensive player award.

After the warm-up, D'Antoni and the starters emphasized tactics and the game began.

The starters of both sides appeared, and the Suns had five players: Guo Xu, Gary Payton, Raja Bell, David Lee, and Vallejo.

Knicks Five: Marbury, Willie Green, Matt Barnes, Malrick Rose, Eddie Curry.

The Knicks' swingman position is a big flaw, and there are too many bad contracts on the team to solve.

Their total salary is nearly 20 million less than last season, McDyce's contract expired without extension, and he pardoned one person. And the Suns didn't trade Anfernee Hardaway, which was a super hole, and now Hardaway joined the Pacers with a base salary after being pardoned by the Hawks.

Barnes' start shows the depth of the Knicks' roster, he was a famous "vagabond" in the NBA in his previous life, and he never signed a long-term contract. In this life, he has wandered many teams, successively playing for the 76ers, Clippers, Heat, and Knicks.

Zhang said: "The Suns changed two starters, perhaps to strengthen the offense of the rotation lineup. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "I think it's to add an organizational point, the Suns are not running as well as last year, in addition to Guo Xu, Joe Johnson also has some organizational skills." He's also played well this year, and now the Warriors can't say who is the boss between him and Davis. ”

"I think Joe Johnson is more like the core of the Warriors, he plays very reasonably, has a high shooting percentage, and Davis has good physical fitness, but likes to mess around." ”

Vallejo jumped the ball to win and the game began.

Payton organized with the ball, and Guo Xu ran to the bottom right corner.

David Lee and Payton played a block and dismantle in the middle, attracting the shorter interior Marrick who moved faster to change the defense, and Guo Xu relied on Vallejo on the side to cover the run position without the ball, and received a pass at 70 degrees on the right side.

The veteran Payton's role this season has become very crucial, and he can't continue to play soy sauce. If he doesn't play, he has to let Blake play, in short, there has to be a player with excellent passing awareness to start with Guo Xu and feed him with shells, he is now a quarterback play.

Vallejo is tall and has good cover quality, while the Knicks can't win, Marbury's statistics this season have declined, and he has almost no desire to win, and his pursuit defense is not very active.

As Guo Xu expected, despite the change of coach, the Knicks still have no hope, and their foundation has rotten this season. It's not just the squad that's bad, it's the coaching staff that's bad, the management is also bad, and if you want to rebuild, you have to change your blood and clean up all these people.

The Knicks won't be able to draft potential players until 2007 at the earliest, as they gave away first-round picks.

Guo Xu received the ball and shot quickly, the rhythm was perfect, and the hollow entered the net. 3 to 0.

He is very familiar with this kind of cooperation, he has played this in the Nets and Knicks training, and it is Marbury who passes the ball to him. He has the confidence to pitch in, right in this field.

He has been practicing hard for nearly three years and is finally back today.

Zhang Li said: "Good ball, iconic three points, Guo Xu feels good." ”

Xu Jicheng said: "The Suns still have to defend it, and Haslem didn't start today, so the defense may be worse." ”

As the commentator expected, David Lee's defense was terrible, and he didn't even have the awareness to switch defenses after encountering a block, and Marbury scored an easy layup. 3 to 2.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu relied on the off-ball to cover the run, Malik changed the defense, Guo Xu then looked for Vallejo for the second block, received Payton's pass, and Curry did not change the defense in time.

Curry is so fat and lazy that he only moves around the box on the defensive end and never goes beyond the three-point line. Guo Xu received the ball at 50 degrees on the left side and shot it hollow into the net again. 6 to 2.

If it weren't for the Knicks, Guo Xu wouldn't have shot so easily.

He knows which position is the most powerful to block and pick, he knows how to get rid of Marbury and Curry, and understands the psychology of the opponent, and the Knicks are doomed to be unlucky in this game.

The Knicks attacked, Marbury dribbled to the front court to face Guo Xu and pulled out three points, Guo Xu didn't jump, just stretched out his hand to interfere slightly.

Marbury's shot was also paced well, hitting a three-pointer. 6 to 5.

The home fans gave Marbury a round of applause, and the stars raced each other as soon as they came up, and the game was exciting.

Guo Xu is in the bottom corner of the right side again, and it is difficult for Payton to break through the defense of the opposing guard with the ball, but he is good at protecting the ball and observing the run, and it is difficult for the opponent to break the basketball from his hand, which is the role of the veteran.

Guo Xu ran to the bottom left corner, Vallejo blocked Marbury, and Curry didn't change defense. Guo Xu ran to the bottom left corner and turned just to receive Payton's pass, did not hesitate at all, and immediately jumped to shoot.

Catching the ball like this, Guo Xu can't remember how many times he has practiced, he doesn't think about how to shoot at all, he relies on muscle memory to act subconsciously, and the rhythm is perfect. Marbury was a little slower to get around the cover and jumped up and couldn't get covered.

The ball hollowed into the net, and Guo Xu hit another one. 9 to 5.

Xu Jicheng sighed: "Guo Xu's state is incredible, do you want to challenge your three-point record today?" ”

"His teammate is injured, he is more resolute on offense, the team needs him to step up and score, he plays at shooting guard," Zhang said. ”

The Knicks attacked, Curry went out to block and pick-and-roll, and Marbury drew Vallejo into a switch and passed the ball to the middle.

Guo Xu is not very active in chasing defense, his goal is very clear from the beginning, to try to get high scores, not to win the Knicks too much into garbage time. He also didn't have a close defense Curry, leaving room for his opponent to be comfortable and could make a triple threat.

If "Little Overlord" Stoudmayer encounters this kind of opportunity, he will definitely rush in and dunk, and no defender can stop him from cutting in the air.

Curry slowly went to the basket and chose to throw, although the ball went in, but there was no domineering.

This fat man is really a typical example of self-depravity, and when he was a Bull, he often dunked violently, although the number of rebounds was pitiful, and now he likes to play on the go.

9 to 7. Knicks fans still gave Curry some applause......
