At the beginning of the second quarter, the two teams switched to the bench.

The Spurs' bench has always been very powerful, and although the Spurs' substitutes are also a group of not very famous characters at this time, they can play very fiercely on the court.

After 3 minutes in the second quarter, the Spurs tied the score, and the Nets quickly replaced Horn.

Horn was on the court at this time, and he felt obviously not as good as the first quarter, he used up his strength in the first quarter, and at this time, Horn didn't have any skills to use, and his absolute power on the court was reduced a lot.

Horn's state is a little worse, and he can only make the team's offense alive through strategy.

But the comparison with the Spurs is reasonable, it is purely looking for death, and the Spurs led the Nets by 9 points at the end of the first half.

At halftime, Horn also felt a little helpless, today he didn't have skills and did feel a little unaccustomed, sometimes he habitually wanted to use skills, but he didn't have any skills.

In the third quarter of the game, the Spurs completely grasped the initiative, the Spurs' ball flow was very reasonable, the offense was one after another, the Nets couldn't see it, Horn hurriedly turned on the personal offensive mode at this time, but he was indeed at a low ebb now, and the state in the second half was not good, the game was over, and the Spurs defeated the Nets by a big score.

It's really nothing if the Nets lose, but the Nets lose too badly.

So after the game, the media said a lot of bad things about the Nets, and the most justified bad thing is that in the first half, all teams were adjusting their state every season, so the Nets had good results, and now everyone is serious in the second half of the season. The Nets are finished. Today's game against Spurs is a case in point.

Horn was criticized as well. Many media think that Horn is a good player in the first half of the game, others are not serious, and if he is not playing well now, it is that other teams are serious.

Horn wanted to fight back very much at this time, but he was unlucky, and then Lopez was injured for 1 month and couldn't play, and the Nets lost their big center at this time, and the next game was very easy, losing 3 games in a row.

This time it seems to be solid, and the Nets are taking advantage of people for half a season.

Horn didn't play well in these games either. As a result, various media outlets began to turn to criticize Horn.

Horn's arch-rival Anthony was also sneering on the side, and the Nets' record fell behind to the fifth place in the East.

Both the team and Horn have suffered a crisis of confidence, and even the media, which believes in Horn's strength, have been wildly criticizing Horn's recent performance as really not very good.

Horn had been used to playing for half a season, and now that he doesn't need it, he is really uncomfortable.

At this time, Horn finally completed the first task assigned by the template space, and Horn finally had the first skill point.

The Two-Faced Villain has three basic skills, each of which is split into two sides.

The Spurs add explosive scoring ability and physical ability, and the main role of interference is defense. Tenacity: This ability increases the ability to attack continuously.

At this time, Horn should learn to spur, because the Nets lack scoring ability right now. But now that the Nets have lost Lopez's interior defense and are also short of people, Horn still chooses defense first between offense and defense, and he chooses tenacity.

In this way, Horn can both increase his hit rate and increase his strength when using this skill.

Tenacity: Consumes 20 energy points, increasing the immunity to interference by 15% for 20 seconds in shooting mode.

In Savage mode, the strength is increased by 15% for 20 seconds.

With this skill, Horn's projection will be more accurate, and his strength will be increased all of a sudden.

At this time, the Nets happened to meet their old rival Knicks, both teams are Eastern Conference teams, and they can meet several times a season.

When the two teams met at such a moment, Anthony naturally said before the game: "I will definitely make Horn look good today." We Knicks are the kings of New York! ”

JR Smith also said unashamedly: "We are just getting into the state now, and we will definitely be ashamed of today's game!" ”

Compared with the arrogance of the Knicks, the Nets have been much more low-key recently because they have not played well, and Horn has no time to pay attention to the Knicks' words now.

The game kicks off at Madison Garden, the home of New York, and before the game starts, Horn went to a famous seafood restaurant at Grand Central Station to feast on the court.

Today's game is the New York derby, and it's a big game, and Bill Wharton and Albert were sitting on the sidelines early before the game.

The media are also ready, just waiting for the good show Cairo.

The game started on time, and because Lopez was injured, Horn had to partner Henry Foss as a starter.

New York started with point guard Kidd, shooting guard Tony Douglas, small forward Shambaught, power forward Anthony, and center Chandler.

New York is a classic small lineup, with every position except Chandler being a short but sharp attacking lineup.

It's usually hard to defend with this kind of lineup, but Woodson has played an excellent defense with a small lineup, and this kind of defense is the guarantee of the Knicks' recent top-two in the East.

The Knicks took the ball to the Nets' half, and there was no particularly complicated offensive routine, just blocking and pick-and-roll.

Kidd passed the ball to Shambaugh, who immediately dribbled and played with Anthony to block and dismantle, and when Anthony flicked on the line and then pulled to the side, because Anthony had a strong offensive ability, the Nets could only be pulled over.

After having space, Shambaugh easily singled out Henry Foss, and Henry Fosson couldn't defend this kind of outside player at all, allowing Shambaugh to score 2 points with an easy shot.

The Nets pushed in, Horn went to the high post and passed the ball to the side, and then he suddenly turned on the tenacity and went down to the baseline to get the position.

Horn suddenly came down and wanted to play the low post, at which point the Knicks felt that they were not afraid, because Horn's power was notoriously unimpressive.

Anthony didn't care too much about Horn behind him, he thought he could stop Horn with his own strength.

But at this time, after Horn turned on tenacity, his strength suddenly increased by more than ten percent. Horn at this time is completely different from before.

Williams puts the ball in. Horn took the ball with an easy back-to-back attack. Anthony naturally took a step back, and this step Horn was in a deep position, and with this position, Horn turned and scored with an easy hook.

Horn is taller than Anthony, and once he gets the ball in a deep position, Anthony has no way to do it.

Anthony was also a little depressed after being beaten by Horn, he felt that he could defend Horn! In the last game, I was able to withstand it with my strength. Why didn't Fang Cai resist, could it be that he didn't pay attention.

When Anthony was depressed, Bill Wharton was still there and said: "Anthony's defense is too unserious, he shouldn't let Horn attack so easily!" ”

The Knicks' offense has always been free and loose, and in this round, Douglas didn't look at his teammates at all, and directly threw a long-range three-pointer himself, but missed.

The Knicks recently saw that the Nets were a little bad, so they despised the Nets.

Horn's last tenacity skill hadn't been used up at this time, and this time he went directly to the low post to get stuck in the position.

Anthony came out desperately at this time to push Horn, but strangely. Today, Anthony's strength was not enough in front of Horn at all, and he was easily squeezed to the basket by Horn.

When he got to the basket, Horn made an easy shot and scored another 2 points. Horn played Anthony too easily today, which is something that the Knicks didn't think about at all before.

Horn actually started to play in the low post, and Anthony didn't have the power to fight back, who believes this!

Woodson was also anxious at this time, how could Anthony let Horn fight like this! He skipped to let Chandler defend Horn.

New York, and they finally played a combination this round, Anthony took advantage of his teammate's cover to run off the ball to the wing and throw a three-pointer.

Anthony's biggest change with the Knicks is not playing power forward, but playing more off the ball, and Anthony has been more of an offensive player this season who takes advantage of the offensive opportunities created by his teammates and then shoots himself. Anthony's offensive efficiency has naturally improved greatly with such shots, and now this kind of off-ball running is also under Anthony's changes.

"Bang!"

It's a pity that Anthony's three-point shot was also missed, and the Knicks weren't in good shape today.

The Knicks didn't play well, and the Nets played the basketball and immediately gave it to Horn in the high post.

Horn took the ball and looked back at this time, and the defender changed from Anthony to Chandler.

Chandler is a strong defensive player, but he is also not good at defending players who float on the perimeter, and his function is designed to defend the low post and help defend the basket, which he has no experience with.

At this point, Horn immediately used tenacity again, facing Chandler's defense, Horn took a spying step, and then immediately raised his hand to a mid-range, at which point Chandler came up to interfere, but was covered by tenacity and ruthlessness.

Horn shot the basketball and easily drilled into the basket, Horn scored 6 points in a row in the opening game, two low posts and a mid-range are the easiest ways to get points, but it also makes the Knicks feel very puzzled.

At this time, Albert also said on the sidelines: 'Horn looks good today!' He hadn't felt this good in a long time. “

Horn has now finally started to use the skills of the two-faced villain, and his condition is naturally good.

The Knicks didn't score points in a couple of rounds in a row, and this time they came up and they finally started to get a lot more serious.

Kidd used his teammates' cover here to move to the side, and at this time Kidd's breakthrough basket was gone.

The Nets' defense of Kidd inevitably relaxed a little, and just when the Nets relaxed a little, Kidd suddenly threw a three-pointer in the process of dribbling to the side.

Kidd's three-point shot was thrown very suddenly, no one else expected, and Kidd's three-point shot was very fast.

In Kidd's most brilliant days, his biggest weakness was his inconsistent shooting, but now Kidd's main scoring tool is actually the three-point shot.

"Brush!"

Kidd suddenly hit a three-pointer to open the scoring for the team, and the Knicks finally scored.

Horn scored 6 points in a row at this time and has become a thorn in the side of the Knicks. But Horn himself was starting to feel very good at this point.

It's the Knicks' half again. This time, Horn took the initiative to switch to a savage state. Then use the power to go to the low post and the Chandler card position.

When Horn began to rush into the card position, Chandler was not too serious, he felt that Horn was killing himself, and when he went up to make contact with Horn, he immediately realized that something was wrong, Horn's strength was greater than he imagined.

He didn't pay attention to let Horn actually get in the waist position, and at this time Williams threw the ball in.

Horn took the ball and held off Chandler behind him. The body turned left and right, and suddenly a feint to face the basket, Chandler's footsteps moved slightly, Horn immediately dribbled a step, and a big turn wiped Chandler behind him, Horn relied on this step to reach the dead corner of the basket at once, where Horn easily scored 2 points with a low-handed layup.

Horn actually beat Chandler in the low post, and this time Madison Garden was not calm.

Chandler is the best defensive player! He is the best defensive player in the league, even if he doesn't put too much effort into it. The defensive ability is also extremely strong, but now Horn actually beat Chandler in the low post. What kind of situation is this, one of the best points of the Knicks' defense is actually broken.

Bill Wharton was not afraid of big things in the commentary seat and said: "Horn is too fierce in the low post today, and after beating Anthony, he made Chandler bigger, Horn is accumulating all his strength to deal with the Knicks!" This time the Knicks look good! ”

Albert also said on the side: "In the past, Horn played badly in the low post, but today he played so well, what's going on." Could it be that the Knicks were careless, or was Horn deliberately practicing in the low post! ”

Seeing Horn beat Chandler violently, the little general's side suddenly became excited. Recently, he has also sensitively noticed that Horn's condition is not good, and his shooting is not good, just when he was worried about Horn, Horn suddenly played so well, and he was also very relieved.

Knicks head coach Woodson couldn't understand it at this time, and Horn's low post was very average before. The power is not good, and it is difficult to even get stuck in the low post, but today he beat Anthony and scored on Chandler's head. He was until Chandler scored on how difficult it was.

Why did Horn's low position suddenly become so good! No, it should be asked, why did Horn's power suddenly become so good, this is unreasonable!

When Woodson was very helpless, Chandler was also very unhappy, he was indeed a little careless, but he felt very uncomfortable when he was beaten like this.

Horn himself is very happy, it turns out that it is so cool to play in the low position, and it is so cool to bully people with strength. You don't have to jump around, you don't have to avoid others, it's really refreshing to play with a hard bridge and a hard horse!

When Horn was having a good time here, the Knicks immediately pounced. Anthony didn't take the initiative to attack with the ball before, and he hit the ball with the highest shooting percentage. But now that Horn is playing low posts in a row, he will be soft if he doesn't make any more shots.

Got the basketball, Anthony is still very familiar with Horn, he knows that Horn is fast, at this time he is not in a hurry to break through with the ball, but the triple threat probing step to tease Horn to defend up.

Horn doesn't have much to do with Anthony, Anthony's triple threat is too powerful, and the small mid-range shot is too accurate.

Once Anthony made a spying step feint, Horn could only walk forward, and once Horn did it forward, Anthony immediately stretched out his arm to block and then knocked Horn away with a hard bridge.

Anthony has speed and strength to force people to pass very strongly, Horn hurriedly used tenacity to increase his strength at this time, and Anthony hit it hard, Anthony did not take advantage of this time, and immediately hit again.

"Smack!"

Horn and Anthony made two consecutive physical contacts, Anthony didn't take advantage of it with his strength, and when he shot, although he felt good, he didn't shoot the basketball.

With strength, Horn really feels different, if there is strength, there is a position, and if there is a position, you don't have to dodge, but squeeze others to dodge, this feeling is really good.

On the Knicks' side, Anthony singled out Horn and was unsuccessful, and the Nets immediately played over, and the basketball still went to Horn.

At this time, Horn still took the ball and hit Chandler's body very fiercely, and when Chandler saw Horn like this, he immediately became angry!

I let you hit one, do you think you can't prevent you? Once Chandler got angry, he immediately defended extremely fiercely, and once Chandler was serious, his defensive ability was really powerful.

Horn couldn't squeeze in at this point, and was restrained by Chandler.

restrained Horn, Chandler immediately smiled smugly in his heart, and Bill Wharton also said: "Horn is a little too proud to challenge Chandler!" ”

Just as Bill Wharton's words landed, Horn suddenly made a pass next to Chandler, and the ball slipped from behind Chandler directly into the hands of Wallace, who cut in from the air.

Wallace took the ball and flew up a violent dunk, "Bang dang!" ”

After a series of low posts, Horn began to use his low post deterrence to pass the ball.

As a result, the Knicks' side suddenly felt more tricky, and they had difficulty scoring. Horn, on his side, can not only play low, but also use his low post offense to get his teammates to score.

Woodson was forced to call a timeout, and after calling a timeout, Woodson decided to immediately increase the defensive intensity against Horn. And the Knicks have to deal with Horn's ability to respond, and now that the Nets don't have Lopez, Woodson decided to use the strength of the whole team to deal with Horn alone.
