Chapter 215: Cremation of the Clash Between Rookies (Part I) (Third Update!) )
The brief warm-up ended shortly after, with the starters on the pitch right after.
The Clippers still maintain their previous starting lineup, with the Big Three plus Redick and Pierce.
The starting lineup on the Knicks' side has not changed much from before, with Spaniard Calderon and defensive titan Afflaro on the outside, Anthony and superstar Porzingis on the front, and Robin, the younger brother of the Lopez brothers, on the inside. López is in charge.
With the referee's whistle, Jordan Jr. and Lopez jumped forward, and the fans broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and the game between the two sides officially began.
Tang Shuai sat on the court at this time, feeling the atmosphere of the Knicks fans, and his heart was also full of enthusiasm, although the Knicks' current strength is a little unrealistic to talk about the championship, but the momentum of this home court is not false at all compared to Los Angeles.
Jordan Jr. flicked the ball back to the Clippers' backcourt, and the Clippers got their first offense.
Tang Shuai used the packing system on the sidelines to do a basic scan of the Knicks' players.
The results of the scan came out, and it was roughly the same as he expected, only Anthony had an exclusive bag in the Knicks formation, the little melon was packed with a single body, the small melon was thrown in the bag, and the small melon broke through the bag, a total of three.
Because of the pre-match vignette, he paid more attention to fellow rookie Porzingis, and when the scan results came out, he also sent his most sincere recognition to the "competitor". Porzingis, as a rookie, turned out to be a master with an exclusive skill pack!
Although the ability doesn't seem to be much different from the purple skill pack, it's just slightly better, and at best it's the worst kind of the exclusive skill pack. But exclusive is exclusive, and this is the most advantageous proof of strength!
Platinum Slam Dunk Pack: Exclusive Orange Skill Pack. When facing a defense of average intensity, there is an 80 percent chance of completing a dunk between people. In the face of high-intensity defense, there is a 40% chance of completing a dunk between people, and additional attributes: When a teammate misses a shot, there is a 90% chance of judging the landing point of the basketball, and a 40% chance of completing a dunk!
Buckle, buckle!
When Tang Shuai finished reading the introduction of the platinum dunk bag, his mind was filled with the word only dunk, and it was hard to imagine that he was two meters tall and twenty-one. But Porzingis, who looks extremely thin, turned out to be a complete dunk!
"Bang!"
As he thought, Porzingis misplaced against Pierce was a powerful slam in the air, and the entire Madison Square Square erupted in an explosion of cheers.
Tang Shuai also looked up at the court, and after Porzingis dunked, he made an ambiguous look at the audience very mischievously, and the old man didn't look like a rookie at all.
"This guy really has a lot of potential."
When Tang Shuai saw this, he had a lot of recognition in his heart for Porzingis, but at the same time, the desire for competition in his heart was also more intense.
That's basketball. The stronger the opponent, the stronger you will be.
In the cheers of the fans at the scene, the weak Knicks played well, under the leadership of the core Anthony. It's on par with the Clippers.
At 22:21, the Clippers entered the first official timeout with a one-point lead, with about four minutes left before the end of the first quarter.
After entering the pause. Cassel immediately signaled Tang Shuai, Stephenson and Smith to appear, and perhaps the confrontation on the field was too fierce during this period of time. He put Cole who did well in training. Aldridge also came on a substitution.
The Clippers made personnel changes, and the Knicks rotated accordingly. In addition to Porzingis, the other four players on the Knicks court were replaced. Williams, Jaleine Grant, Langston Galloway, Kevin. Seraphim's main substitutes all came on.
After the pause, Tang Shuai held the ball and pushed forward.
After finally seeing Tang Shuai on the stage, the fans who supported Tang Shuai let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and after seeing so many performances from Porzingis, they finally looked forward to Tang Shuai's play.
Tang Shuai heard the cheers of the fans, but he didn't turn his head to look, the main team of the Clippers and the Knicks were on a par, he couldn't do this with the bench, otherwise the game would have to be played until the last minute, which would be too physically exhausting for a team like them that has been playing away from home continuously.
As soon as he advanced to the frontcourt, he beckoned Smith to come over and make a pick-and-roll, and then took a quick step to break inside, and it was a Maddie pull-up shot that met the changing Serapin.
The moment the ball was scored, the group of people who supported Tang Shuai let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers, regardless of the angry eyes of the Knicks fans next to them.
But the cheers didn't stop, there was a small block, Porzingis broke through with the ball, faced the misplaced Smith with a big turn, and a one-handed dunk also scored two points for the Knicks.
Smith could only shake his head helplessly, this Porzingis is too tall, and with such a good ball sense and technique, it is too difficult for him to dislocate and defend.
This time, it was the turn of the fans on the scene to cheer, and the sound was not an order of magnitude at all compared to the small group of fans who supported Tang Shuai, especially the fans who supported Tang Shuai, who roared at them when they cheered, clearly telling them that this was the home court of the Knicks.
Tang Shuai didn't care about this cheer, he took this cheer as supporting the Clippers.
When it came to the frontcourt, he motioned for Smith to go to the top of the arc to hold the ball, and then started running along the baseline.
The Knicks have only strong defensive ability, like Grant and Galloway, who replaced the court, are rookies, and they are still relatively lacking in experience.
He didn't keep a low profile anymore with the ball, and after hitting it, he directly reached out to the fans who supported him, and then made a flying kiss motion.
At this moment, the group of fans was completely excited, and they all stood up from their seats, roaring in their mouths, spitting all over the sky, at the fans next to them who had just called out to them.
There was a lot of boos in the audience, the sudden appearance of these fans was completely unexpected by others, and these arrogant performances were obviously difficult for them to accept.
But these fans didn't care, and they still shook the big head KT board in their hands excitedly.
Tang Shuai stretched out his hand and clapped his hands vigorously at this time, the competition on the field and the competition off the field are all in his performance, and he must do better.
The Knicks pushed in, misplaced and pulled away and went straight to Porzingis to stand in the low post for the ball.
The coach of the Knicks is the well-known old fish Fisher, he used some retro triangle offensive tactics for the team, but after running in for so long, it should be more figurative that it should be a single technique, and after giving the ball to Porzingis, the other four stood still and did not play the power of the triangle offense at all.
Porzingis got close to Aldridge and tried to renew the points on the offensive end.
