Chapter 463: Blue Buff of the Basketball Holy Land (4/6!) )
The Cavaliers' offense, Paul and Yao Ming's pick-and-rolls were once again defended.
After a few games, the Knicks seem to have slowly adapted to the Cavaliers' style of offense.
Yao Ming's high-level strategy.
Carter shook off Fields and went straight to the basket with a reverse run.
Yao Ming's ground-hitting pass.
Carter takes the ball and goes straight to the basket.
Stoudemire came to the rescue.
Carter directly protected the ball, stepped three slow steps, squeezed away Stoudemire, and hit the board with a low hand.
Stoudemire's block didn't follow, and the ball grazed the rebound and bounced into the basket.
The Cavaliers' bench was boiling, and the goal was beautiful.
Tang Tian also nodded at this time.
Butler had such a layup opportunity before, but he didn't go up and was almost offended.
In terms of offensive ability alone, Carter Sr. is obviously much stronger than Butler.
On the Knicks' offense, Anthony has a hot hand, does not go to the low post, and directly attacks with the ball outside the three-point line.
The rest of the team pulled wide, and only Chandler mentioned the three-point line for the pick-and-roll.
Carter was very experienced with this ball, and he went straight to the front to squeeze forward, not giving Chandler room to block and dismantle.
Chandler tried several times without success, and Anthony reached out directly to Chandler at this time to ask Chandler to go back.
The three-point line at the top of the arc is directly one-on-one.
Anthony took a half-step forward with his right foot, striking the standard "triple threat" stance, and then suddenly accelerated his way through the right side.
Carter judged it accurately, and focused on the right to follow.
Anthony burst to the free throw line and went straight to the ball and made a quick stop.
Carter, who is experienced, brakes directly on the spot and then raises his hands high.
This is equivalent to leaving an obstacle of more than two meters directly in front of Anthony.
Although not as young and capable as Butler, Carter Sr.'s experience allowed him to play a successful defense.
Anthony's shooting angle and line of sight were greatly disturbed, and it was only a shot with feeling.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the rebound, but it rebounded and went to the basket!
11 points in a row!
Anthony's hands seemed to be on fire.
The audience at the scene was completely excited, and many people stood up directly from their seats, waving their arms and swearing at the venue.
'Be patient, we're only five points behind.' Tang Tian stretched out his hand on the sidelines to applaud the players.
The Cavaliers' defense is fine, and with this intensity, Anthony can't be so accurate all the time.
Paul's frontcourt pick-and-roll was blocked, and he dribbled the ball directly to the outside, and then signaled for Yao Ming to fall low.
The Knicks adapted to the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll, which was a direct change of move.
Yao Ming's low back hit, Anthony directly recycled the bag clip.
Yao Ming reacted quickly and sent the ball out to Carter on the outside at the first time, who received the ball and shot directly at three points before Anthony returned to defense.
"Huh!"
Carter's three-pointer also scored!
He's already scored 5 points since he came up!
There was a stirring at the scene.
Anthony's strength on the offensive end, coupled with the restrictions on Paul and Yao Ming's scoring in this paragraph, was supposed to be a good time for the Knicks to open the scoring, and no one expected that Carter Sr. would play the role of a surprise soldier at this time.
This 3-pointer was made, and the Cavaliers instantly chased the difference to 2 points.
"Come on! New York! ”
The fans felt the pressure and cheered loudly for the Knicks under the lead of the DJ.
Anthony is still playing high singles.
Tang Tian waved his hand on the sidelines, and Green went directly to the bag, which was not given an opportunity to attack with the ball outside the three-point line.
Anthony didn't pass the ball, he just chose to shoot a three-pointer.
The back-to-back hits gave him confidence in his feel.
Carter was also smart at this time, and pounced directly next to Anthony, without violating the shooting cylinder, but successfully gave enough interference.
"Bang!"
Anthony's pull-up three-pointer was finally missed, and Yao Ming took the defensive rebound.
"Well done! Well done! ”
Tang Tian was also using his way to cheer for the team at this time.
The Cavaliers' offense, Yao Ming continued to play with his back in the low post.
Carter's continuous performance is equivalent to giving the Cavaliers another stable outside shooting point on the court, and the Knicks dare not wrap up, and the sense of space on the court comes out at once.
Yao Ming's back to the basket became a foul on Chandler's beater and went to the free throw line.
After hitting both free throws, the two teams were tied at 11!
Anthony's hot form only allowed the Knicks to maintain their lead for less than half a quarter!
Bibby showed his experienced side at this time, and when he got to the front, he signaled Anthony to play without the ball.
It's a veteran's initiative, but it's critical.
Anthony was hot tonight, and it was difficult for the Cavaliers to play without the ball, and he always got some good shots by blocking or running back.
The situation on the scene also stalemate.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 30-35, with the Cavaliers trailing by five points.
Anthony shot 8-of-15 in the first quarter and scored 23 points in a single quarter, which was still some way from his record of 33 points in a single quarter, but it was already his most exciting single-quarter performance since coming to New York.
Madison Garden Plaza, the basketball mecca, seems to have directly given him a blue buff in the most critical game.
In the second quarter, both sides changed to the bench one after another.
On the Cavaliers' side, Jeremy Lin plus Carter on the outside, Hilga Artest on the front, and Whiteside at center.
On the Knicks' side, Woodson kept Stoudemire on the court and replaced him with Davis, J.R. Smith, Shampert and Novak.
Up the Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin and Artest's blocking, Jeremy Lin burst into the basket, Stoudemire moved well, didn't give his hand space, he went around and came out.
"Defend! Defend! ”
With the ons of the fans in attendance, the Knicks played a tough defense.
Hill also missed a shot from mid-range as Stoudemire picked up a defensive rebound.
Davis dribbled to the front court, and Stoudemire took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post.
After the ball was in, he glanced at Whiteside behind him, turned his back and shook Whiteside in succession and made a shot.
"Huh!"
The ball hollows into the net.
Stoudemire continued the excellent hand of the first two games.
The Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin's three-point shot after the pick-and-roll was a little bit unlucky, and Stoudemire added another defensive rebound.
Casey got up at this time and shouted to the Cavaliers players, the team's defensive intensity went up a lot, and the Knicks didn't have a chance to block and dismantle several times.
Davis glanced at Smith, who asked for the ball, and finally gave the ball to Stoudemire, who was inside.
Stoudemire faced Whiteside, a turning high board.
It's almost a whistle shot.
"Bang!"
The ball hits the rebound, bounces off and falls into the net.
Stoudemire scored four straight points to bring the Knicks' lead to nine.
Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time.
10 points is a hurdle, and after this line, the situation of the Cavaliers on the court is very passive.
Even if the score difference is constantly widened, he can only be forced to change the main force in advance.
Jeremy Lin carries the ball to the frontcourt.
At that moment, Carter Sr. reached out directly from outside the three-point line to ask him for the ball.
