Chapter 701: Full Fire
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai's dry pull hit steadily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He scored the Lakers' opening two points, and Westbrook's feint play was enough to divert it.
Hornacek couldn't help but shake his head, and when Evans ran forward after the ball was served in the backcourt, he couldn't help but remind: "Tyrek, follow your guys." ”
On the Knicks' offense, Rose advanced to the frontcourt and completed a two-star block with Anthony, and after the pick-up, he hit a pull-up jumper directly.
Turning around, Westbrook advanced to the frontcourt, signaled his teammates to open up space, and then asked Tang Shuai to ask for a low post and give the ball over.
The Knicks did not choose to wrap at this time, and Evans sank his weight to resist Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai pushed it in twice with pure strength, and Evanston was a little unable to parry, and at this moment, he took advantage of the momentum to turn around and lean back.
Evans started a beat slower and had limited interference after jumping.
"Huh!"
Tang Shuai's leaning hit again.
Although it didn't merge into a golden skill pack and wasn't so fluid in terms of the articulation of the movements, it was more than enough to deal with Evans' level of defense.
Hornacek shook his head helplessly on the sidelines, after Evans was injured, his athleticism has decreased a lot compared to his peak, and he has relied on physical fitness to play, and his strength on the defensive end has also decreased a lot.
The Knicks' offense is Rose again, and Porzingis is blocking and dismantling at the free throw line, after the dismantling, he rushes straight to the basket, and in the face of Yi Jianlian's blocking, he directly sends the ball to the basket with a big lever in the air.
The moment the ball was scored, the scene erupted in a burst of excited cheers.
After coming to the Knicks, although it is impossible for Rose to return to the powerful Phoenix City Rose, compared with the previous two years, his state and appearances have improved a lot.
“defense!”
Rose's scoring streak got the home fans in high spirits, and they cheered loudly for the home team as they entered the defensive round.
The Lakers played a pass and cut cooperation, Yi Jianlian blocked and dismantled without the ball, Tang Shuai inserted into the basket and received Batum's ball, and scored a throw in the face of Porzingis.
Looking back, the Lakers strengthened their defense, especially the targeted defense of Rose, Rose had no chance, Anthony played directly in the high post, the melon shook his footsteps, and the last step back hit the whistle against Batum's defense.
Although he has grown older every year, his scoring ability has not decreased much because of this.
On the Lakers' offense, Westbrook went to the frontcourt and called for Noll to do a block, rushed into the interior before Noah's defense, and got a layup opportunity.
Despite Noah's presence, the Knicks' defense is really average.
In his position, he can go to the basket with his starting hands, but I don't know why he didn't shoot right away.
Anthony immediately came to his aid.
Just then, Westbrook suddenly jerked the ball out, and the ball followed into Batum's hands, which was a good three-point opportunity.
However, Batum still didn't make a move, and instead ran towards Tang Shuai with the ball, waving as he ran.
Tang Shuai understood and ran over, and when the two staggered, Batum made a hand-to-hand pass, and then stood sideways to block Evans.
Tang Shuai did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and made a decisive three-point shot.
"Huh!"
Three points in the bag!
Tang Shuai's shooting, and!
There was an uproar at the scene, after Tang Shuai hit this three-pointer, the Lakers also overtook the score 9-8, before Rose and Anthony hit the head, they didn't notice much, only then did they find out that the Lakers' 9 points all came from Tang Shuai, and it was 4 shots and 4 hits, and it felt hot.
Many people unconsciously have an idea in their hearts, although Tang Shuai said that he didn't care about Lao Barry's comments, but his body is still very honest~
The Knicks' offense was finally frustrated, Anthony's strong attack was blocked by Batum, and the Lakers turned around and handed over Tang Shuai, who directly made a dry pull-up jumper after a breakthrough, hitting his fifth goal while helping the team extend the lead to 3 points.
Hornacek finally couldn't help it at this time, although he didn't pay so much attention to defense, but this was taken by Tang Shuai, and his face as a coach was a little unbearable.
After the Knicks scored a goal from Porzingis, Westbrook gave the ball to Tang Shuai in the frontcourt, and the Knicks immediately adopted a double package.
Tang Shuai saw the opportunity to divide the ball to the inside line Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's shooting was iron, and the rebound was grabbed by Noah back.
On the Knicks' offense, Anthony burst to the basket with Porzingis, who made a fluttering turn and hook to avoid Knoll's defensive shot.
The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, Tang Shuai received the ball and was ready to break through, Anthony immediately wrapped it up, he distributed the ball to Batum, who had a good chance to fall at the three-point line, but he was a little less lucky, and the shot finally jumped out of the basket.
The rebound was picked up by Porzingis, who threw it to Rose.
Rose accelerated to the Lakers' frontcourt, where a breakaway layup resulted in a defensive foul on Westbrook.
After one of two free throws, the Knicks were tied at 11-11.
There was another burst of excited cheers from the fans at the scene.
It's clear that the rest of the Lakers' roster doesn't seem to be in great shape, and Hornacek's wrap-and-roll tactics work.
At this time, the team's point guard will adjust the team's offensive tactics and strive to maximize the offensive effect, but if you want to talk about the player's tendons, then Westbrook is the first without suspense, he advanced to the front court with the ball, and still signaled Tang Shuai to ask for the ball.
Tang Shuai ran to catch the ball, and as soon as he got the ball, the Knicks' bag was about to come up again.
He frowned, this time he didn't choose to pass, leaned his back against Evans and dribbled, and directly turned to the right and leaned back to shoot.
Anthony, who was in the bag, immediately jumped up and pounced, Evans also jumped, and the two of them went towards Tang Shuai with two hands.
Tang Shuai's face did not change, and when the leaning range reached the maximum and his body was about to fall, he started to shoot.
The ball flipped back so much that it managed to avoid the two defenders, and the basketball flew past their fingertips and towards the basket.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai's shot went in again!
He hit all six of his first six shots!
The Lakers players on the bench had gone completely crazy, running to the sidelines waving towels and shouting hard.
The Lakers have hit 6 of their 8 shots so far, and all the goals scored have been scored by Tang Shuai, which really fulfills what Stephenson and Westbrook said before the game, and Tang Shuai's success rate is far higher than that of other players.
It is normal for a player to feel hot for a period of time, and it is not as difficult as imagined to make all 6 shots, but it is really terrifying to continue to feel hot.
In the rest of the first quarter, Tang Shuai shot out and hit 4 balls again, the Lakers made a total of 24 shots in the first quarter, and Tang Shuai shot 10 of 14 alone, contributing 23 points personally.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Lakers led 36-30, in fact, in terms of scoring in a single quarter, it is not very high, but everyone on the scene can see that the other members of the Lakers team are giving Tang Shuai the opportunity, and trying to help him create a new scoring record is on the one hand, and more importantly, Tang Shuai's success rate is indeed stronger than others, and it is much stronger.
In the second quarter of the game, Tang Shuai only sat on the court for two minutes, and then was replaced by Billups.
With both his coach and teammates being so supportive, he didn't have a reason not to accept it, and in the second quarter, he continued his good hand and scored 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting in the first quarter.
By halftime, he had scored 39 points and had broken the record for halftime scoring at Madison Square Garden.
Throughout the first half, he could be said to be absolutely on fire.
Such an eye-catching performance also won him the favor of many home fans, although it was an away game, but by the end of the half, there were already many fans shouting loudly for his performance, especially those who held KT boards, people who didn't know, thought this was the home of the Lakers.
"I don't care what you're feeling tonight or what you're thinking, but I want to remind you that Don scored a new high 39 points in the oldest arena in the first half of the game, and if you don't do something to stop him, you're going to be the new backdrop, the backdrop for a new Madison Garden scoring record." At half-time, Hornacek looked around at his players and said.
"Coach, Don is in shape tonight." Evans said a little helplessly, to be honest, he is not not working hard, but Tang Shuai is already strong, and now the rest of the Lakers, including Billups, are working hard to cooperate with him to score, which is iron-hearted to score, how can it be so easy to succeed.
"I know." Hornacek gave Evans a cold look, although the reason is like that, but Evans is still reasonable, he really regrets putting him in the starting line tonight.
Hornacek said no more, and the locker room fell silent.
"Coach, I have a proposal." At that moment, Reddick suddenly spoke.
"JJ, you say." Knowing that Redick was Tang Shuai's former teammate, Hornacek looked at him in an inquiring tone.
"Actually, this method is very simple, and it is also known to each of us." Reddick didn't say it directly, but sold it beforehand.
Hornacek motioned for him to continue.
'We're not a team that's very good at defending, and it's very difficult to limit him with a single defense or a co-defense.
The others nodded frequently, and everyone saw it in the first half.
"So we have to think differently, I've been with Don for a season, I don't dare to say anything else, but his desire to win is far more than anyone else's, so as long as we are on fire in the second half and turn the momentum around, then between individual points and team wins, I'm sure Don will not hesitate to choose the latter." Reddick spoke his thoughts in one breath.
