Under the spotlight headlights, the two teams on the court started to fight.

On the black side is the 76ers, after the new uniforms were adopted this year, the overall appearance of the players has increased, coupled with the excellent performance on the court, the new jerseys are sold out, and the general manager can wake up with a smile in his dreams.

The Knicks chose the classic white jersey at home, still following the NBA's tradition of dark and light jerseys to match the game.

Chandler bounced significantly better than Gasol on the ball, slapping the basketball with a palm above him.

This year's Knicks summer recruitment is very successful, after Chandler comes to New York, the criticized defense will obviously improve greatly, but in the current Knicks lineup, point guard is still a big problem, Tony Douglas can't reach the level of the starter, Byron Davis is recovering from injury, and it's doubtful how much success he can have when he comes back from injury, Mike Bibby is also currently on the injury list, so the signing of Chinese point guard Jeremy Lin is actually a helpless move.

Coach D'Antoni has a hard time, since he coached New York in 08, the team has introduced wave after wave of reinforcements, and if the record still does not improve, it is estimated that the position is not guaranteed.

He faced a strong neighbor today, simply excluding Landry Fields, Iman Shambaugh, Anthony, Stoudemire and Chandler from the starting lineup, and even point guard altogether.

'That's what D'Antoni's style of coaching is, and that's what he appreciates the most. Collins looked at the Knicks' starting lineup and was full of praise.

Coach Bob couldn't agree more with Collins, "D'Antoni is really talented. He always has the audacity to make some changes. He and Nelson Sr. are the most creative in the NBA. Not only his ability to guide run-and-gun tactics, but also some other aspects. ”

"Yes, but the Knicks' overall roster flaws are still relatively obvious, there is no point guard, there is always a problem with the organization, Carmelo Anthony is a super scorer, but he has never had the ability to organize the team's offense, he is not Maddy. is not Tang Wenlong, who was born as a point guard. ”

The Knicks without a point guard lineup are a bit strange, Landry Fields dribbles the ball across the halfcourt and hands it directly to Anthony, and then he and Shambaugh both open up the position to run, and the 76ers do not come to wrap up, leaving Anthony and Tang Wenlong one-on-one space.

In today's game, Tang Wenlong took the initiative to ask for defense against Anthony, so as soon as he came up, he faced Anthony.

After Anthony took the ball with his back, he turned around and came over with the ball in both hands, facing Tang Wenlong's long spider-like arms. I was also a little jealous in my heart.

He stretched out his right foot and took a tentative step and placed the ball on his waist. Standard tri-threat pose.

In the first attack of the opening, everyone opened up the space and deliberately gave him a single challenge to the opposite leader, and even Xiao Si ran to the other half of the court with interest, and there was no intention of coming over to block the demolition.

Anthony is known as a kaleidoscope, and his offensive methods are complex and varied, and he is best known for this infinitely changing tentative step.

When Tang Wenlong went head-to-head with Anthony in the summer, the most difficult thing to prevent was Anthony's tentative step, but other things such as back singles he defended very well.

After taking a tentative step, Tang Wenlong was unmoved, and Anthony really dribbled and broke through!

His body was very strong, and after taking a step, he crashed into it like a giant bear, and then "bang", and had a confrontational collision with Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong's strength is not low among small forwards, but when he fights against a talented player like Anthony, he is still a little unbearable, and he immediately flashes a trace of space.

At this time, Anthony's second wave of sudden advances came, leaning on Tang Wenlong in a crushing manner, and began to squeeze towards the inner line.

Tang Wenlong raised his mind, according to Anthony's thoughts, he liked to suddenly withdraw his strength at this time and make a step-down jump shot or something.

Sure enough, the next moment, Anthony suddenly stopped, took a step back to the right, and half-turned around for a mid-range jumper.

After Tang Wenlong was prepared, he reacted extremely quickly, and after keeping up with one step, he bounced up, and his long arms rose high!

"It's here!" Tang Wenlong's fingertips touched a hard object slightly, and he knew that he had slightly rubbed the basketball.

He turned his head and roared, "Rebound!" ”

Gasol worked hard, and with a weight of 120 kilograms, Chandler was killed, and West saw where the rebound landed, and grabbed the rebounding basketball with both hands.

After Tang Wenlong finished roaring, he directly attacked quickly, and his little thin legs stepped forward, and the speed was very fast.

"Whoosh!"

David West's long pass flew right over, and the Knicks didn't have a point guard, but Fields and Shan Xiangporter were very active in retreating, one went to the basket to find a position, and the other followed Tang Wenlong.

In defensive counterattacks, Tang Wenlong likes to play in the middle position, which gives him a wider field of vision, and at the top of the arc, it is the place where he has the highest three-point shooting percentage.

Tang Wenlong looked left and right, and gave a random shot to the ground and gave Lowry, who came in with a smoke.

Lowry took a step forward from the basket and rushed directly to the basket like a small cannonball, and in the face of Fields' defense, the whole person floated out sideways, and a low-angle board layup with one hand.

Hit! 2 to 0.

The Knicks attacked, Anthony and Xiaosi played a block, and gave the ball to Fields, who ran outside the line, and Fields handed it to Tyson Chandler again, Chandler took the ball and compared the distance between him and the basket, and wittily passed it back to Shambaugh, who happened to be coming over at this time!

A Georgia Tech-born rookie who entered the league this year and was picked with the 17th pick in the first round, Shambaugh is known for his athleticism and defensive prowess.

But his offense with the ball was terrible, and after getting the ball, there was obviously a hesitation, and the 76ers rotated the defense in place, and so many tactical runs just now were all in vain.

The ball was given to Stoudemire in the middle distance, and he dribbled and stopped a step and jumped! Although David West followed, Xiao Si's shot was already shot, and his hand was very steady.

Hit 2 to 2.

The 76ers attacked, Gasol blocked Lowry, and after Tang Wenlong ran in the opposite direction, he used West's defense to get out of the gap and run to the bottom corner.

Stoudemire doesn't have a strong sense of defense and doesn't want to save to defend perimeter players in the face of changing defenses.

Tang Wenlong received Lowry's ball and jumped for a three-point shot before Anthony's chase arrived.

Without interference, Tang Wenlong's shooting percentage was higher, and after this shot mastered all the rhythm, the basketball spun beautifully and drilled into the basket. 5 to 2.

Anthony looked back at Stoudemire who had run forward, he was hindered by West's off-ball cover, but Xiao Si had no intention of making up for him, this season he wanted to defend well and play well, but according to this level of defensive laxity, it was useless to score more points.

But Xiao Si is the Knicks' highest salary now, and his offensive ability is strong, so if he is not allowed to play, I am afraid that Dolan, who has deep pockets, does not have such a big belly.

Sometimes Anthony will envy Tang Wenlong and Rose, these two guys are strong in offense and weak in defense, but as soon as they enter the league, there is a teammate who loves defense waiting, and after finding a few defensive players to join in the second and third seasons, he can grasp the offense well, and he can win the game steadily, and the team's record has skyrocketed.
