Chapter 051 vs. Clippers (4)

"Do you want Liang Xiao to play, Qiangzi, the opportunity is not very good now, the Knicks have never pulled the score away, if you see Liang Xiao playing, there will definitely be a move." The people in Zuo Qiang's dormitory saw that the game was suspended, and the cheerleaders on the court were singing and dancing, and asked Zuo Qiang.

"It's hard to say now, the different tactics used by both sides, now the score has only passed more than four minutes, Liang Xiaoshang has little chance, wait until eight minutes to see if it is the most likely." Zuo Qiang responded.

At this time, domestic fans hoped that Liang Xiao would be able to appear as he wished, after all, many people who didn't pay much attention to basketball at the beginning came to see Liang Xiao.

"Kenny, you said Van Gundy was always so bitter and hateful, wouldn't he smile and see what he would do, and it was almost impossible to tell from his face that he was not satisfied with the team." Barkley teased Van Gundy.

"Next on the court, Van Gundy means to break the deadlock as soon as possible, should strengthen the defensive aspect, limit the Clippers' bombardment, if it goes on like this, the Knicks' physical strength is worrying, only four minutes have passed, and I can't see anything wrong, it's very unfavorable after a long time, I believe Van Gundy still sees this." Kenny, a defender-turned-commentator, is more familiar with some of the team's tactics than Barkley.

Van Gundy was surrounded by the players, "And then I hope that people can limit them to the three-point line and not give them more opportunities to get in and shoot, so that we can trust them to make it through the first quarter and then surrender." I want you to move and defend, whether you can contain it or not, defense is our key. I need you to move, joint defense, you know, joint defense. Thomas, you and Harrington have to contain Brand and the No. 1 on the inside, Spreville you have to come in front of you, contain the inside, and you have to guard the outside when the ball is outside. ”

Joint defense is rarely used by most NBA coaches, because in the NBA, they are all based on their physical superiority to defend, and coaches believe in everyone's ability. This kind of joint defense tactic, which is commonly used on the international stage, is rarely used in the NBA.

As a defensive coach like Van Gundy, he has the shadow of an academy, and he usually uses all defensive tactics he can, and if it is to win, he has nothing to fear. For Van Gundy, joint defense has also been practiced in daily training, and now it will not be unfamiliar to the players at all.

The timeout ran out quickly and the players returned to the field. Now it's up to the Knicks to do a good job of defensive containment, and if the Clippers can't find a good chance in this round of defense, they may have a psychological effect in the first quarter.

"Oh, are the Knicks ready to stop point guard, now that Easley is being substituted, what position does Anderson play, point guard? I don't believe he can do anything! "Barkley saw Anderson on the court and the Knicks without a point guard in the proper sense of the word, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about Van Gundy's substitution.

"No, now the Knicks are replaced by defense-oriented players, Anderson has good ball-handling ability, Easley still has a big deficiency against Miller, at least the height does not have an advantage, in this way, the Knicks, Houston, and Sprewell can all attack with the ball. I think the Clippers' shelling tactics are going to be dismantled. Kenny Smith said.

Thomas served, Houston advanced with the ball, Andre Miller followed closely, Miller's defensive ability is still very good, although the height advantage is still much shorter for Houston, to the frontcourt, Miller and Margeti switched defenses.

Houston faced Margety and didn't choose to break through and give the ball to Anderson. Anderson took advantage of his body and advanced quickly, and Miller kept following, but Anderson's body was better than Miller, and his speed was not weak, and he did not contain Anderson's offense for a while, and the Clippers' outside line was broken into a mess.

Anderson broke through to the interior and was about to seize the opportunity to score a layup, when a thick body appeared in front of him, and this person was Elton Brand.

Brand saw Anderson recklessly enter his own turf, a lateral move, to make up for the position Miller had lost, which is his strength, good sense of filling, and active defensive skills.

A big hand covered Anderson's path of the goal, the view was blocked, and a hand passed the ball from Brand's waist to Thomas, who was in position, and Brad countered, but Thomas took a sideways step and the ball grazed the board and fell into the net. At 16-19, the Knicks scored two more points.

Switching sides to attack, the Clippers' Andre Miller entered the frontcourt and began to accelerate to break through to the inside, trying to use the fast offense to score two points. But when he got inside, it was like hitting an invisible wall, which was exactly what the Knicks' defense worked. Anderson stood in front of Miller and waved his hands, Miller wanted to find his teammates, but seeing everyone wrapped, he was isolated from the Knicks' human wall, looking helpless.

There is no choice but to retreat and find an opportunity. Seeing that there is no chance to make a move, then leave it to Captain Brand, now should be the time for him to pick up the girder. A lob pass and the ball is caught in Brand's arms.

But Thomas, like the Spurs' defensive titan Bowen, did his best. Thomas put his hand on Brand's waist, and Brand bounced up to shoot, only to feel a tingling pain in his waist. Thomas pinched Brand's waist with his hand, and really lived up to Thomas's "dirty" name, Brand didn't exert force for a while, his whole body fell like an electric shock, the ball rolled down twice on the frame, Harrington saw the opportunity to act, and took off the rebound.

Sprewell drove straight and ran very far to the frontcourt, Harrington made a long pass, and the ball was caught, and Odom kept surrounding Sprewell. But how could such a fast-break opportunity be wasted, a swing pass, Odom was left behind, and Sprewell flew to smash the dunk. 16-21, a five-point lead.

The audience immediately cheered, and those who didn't know thought that this was the home court of the Knicks, so it can be seen that the fans of the Clippers are not diehards. In this Staples, there are really too many Lakers fans, and the part that came to watch the game today are Lakers fans, but they have become a habit of life, and many of them just come to watch the game as a routine today, but with such a wonderful performance, they will not be stingy with their cheers.

The Clippers were pulled away in an instant after seeing the timeout, and the players were holding back a breath of anger in their hearts. In the NBA, it is absolutely necessary to get back to the court, not to mention that now the fans at home have a tendency to defect, and if they don't get back their face, there are still three quarters of games in the future, and they can only be seen as jokes.

Andre Miller went to the frontcourt, this time he didn't rush the ball out, he also knew that the situation had changed after the timeout, and when all his teammates were in position, Miller knew that it was time to open the situation inside, and the fast play of the bombardment was not suitable, and he could only find opportunities in the slow down positional battle.

The ball was hung on the inside, and this time it was still Brand who started to attack, but Thomas in front of him was too annoying. If sight could kill people, Thomas might have been shot into a sieve by Brand's gaze right now.

Brad caught the ball and squeezed Thomas with his body, hoping that this would make him feel better, but he was disappointed, he always felt a hand touching his waist, extremely uncomfortable, and now it was not a beautiful woman touching him, but this also made Brand unable to exert his strength.

Squeezed two points to the center Olowokandi, who bounced up after receiving the ball, really didn't say, although this "Olajuwon II" has no specialty, but this bounce speed is absolutely excellent, Olovocandi tried hard to dunk the ball with both hands, Harrington blocked in front, but forgot that there was someone behind, Thomas flew and jumped, a big hand slammed on the ball.

The ball blew off the rebound and jumped to the frontcourt, and Houston saw the right time, pressed Margetty, and sent the ball to the front court with one hand.

At this time, the whole court was running, and ten people were rushing for the ball.
