The rebound was desperately protected by Shambaugh under the basket, and the Knicks finally got the rebound and the offensive opportunity. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They were losing rebounds in a row, being stealed, and almost in jeopardy, and now they finally have another opportunity to attack.
Because after a series of battles, the time has been consumed for another minute or so, and now there is only 1 minute and 40 seconds before the end of the game.
At this time, the Knicks were really anxious, but the Nets were also desperate, Henrivos was desperate not to let Anthony receive the ball this time, and Famar was also desperate to prevent JR Smith and Anthony from blocking and dismantling.
At this time, the competition has almost become a wrestling match! It's all about physical strength, and the Nets are desperate defenses, but the attackers are always in the initiative.
As soon as Jr Smith saw that Mar was desperate not to let himself and Anthony block and dismantle, he played a trick and made a feint towards Anthony's side, making Farmar think that he was going to cover and lean towards Anthony's side, but at this time, J.R. Smith accelerated past Farmar in the opposite direction, and then directly wanted to make a layup or make a foul.
Horn saw that Jr Smith had this move near the basket, and he would not let Jr Smith succeed, so he hurriedly flew over to block in front of J.R. Smith.
Horn shot to block J.R. Smith, and J.R. Smith couldn't fly out of his palm at all, just to see the two of them collide in the air at once.
However, Horn's hand was higher than J.R. Smith's, and Horn slapped J.R. Smith's basketball out with a single palm.
Horn blocked J.R. Smith here, and Madison Garden had just let out an exclamation when Anthony stepped forward and desperately picked up the basketball. Directly want to shoot offense. Anthony is going to make a move. Henrivos was naturally sealed right away in front. But Henrifus's athleticism is not good, and he can only do it to block the gun's hole, as for whether it can be effective, it is a matter of two things.
But it didn't matter, Henrifus in front was eye-catching, and Horn in the back was about to arrive, flying up behind him and pounced on Anthony.
Horn pounced very fiercely this time, obviously a desperate block, and Anthony suddenly encountered a little impact.
In front of him was Henrivos. On the right was Horn, who shot a little hastily, and the basketball smashed into the rebound, which was picked up by the old guy Kidd.
Kidd picked up the basketball and didn't dare to rush the ball, so he immediately took the ball out and reorganized.
Kidd is very cautious here, and the Knicks players are also very cautious, and only Anthony and J.R. Smith are more active at this time.
Anthony ran to the outside of the three-point line to catch the ball this time, and finally received the basketball, but as soon as he received the basketball, he found that Henrivos had posted himself very deadly. I didn't have a chance to shoot at all.
In this situation, Anthony raised his elbows. distanced himself from the other party, and then suddenly rushed past Henrivos with a sudden acceleration.
Anthony passed Henriforth at once, and Horn saw the situation from the side, he hurriedly reached out and hit Anthony's hand at once, and intercepted Anthony with a foul.
Horn fouled Anthony to the free throw line, where Anthony hit the first free throw and missed the second.
The basketball rolled out all of a sudden, and Horn rushed up from the side to grab the rebound, and after grabbing the rebound, Horn desperately ran towards the Knicks' half.
The Nets still have to play fast break, and it is really difficult to tear apart the Knicks' defense in the half.
Horn pushed forward quickly, and Chandler couldn't keep up with him in the back, so the defender of Horn became Horn's old friend Shambaugh again.
Horn used his strength to resist Shambaugh in the run, knocking Shambaught twice, so he didn't dare to get too close to Horn, but only led the defense in front.
Shambaugh retreated all the way to the Knicks' three-point line, and when he got here, Horn suddenly seemed to feel his blood boiling, and the feeling in his body and hands was completely there.
At this point, Horn dribbled the ball under his crotch, and the cross-step changed to the left and pulled to the left, waiting for Shambaught to move slightly to the left. Horn suddenly pulled back to the right, then started the hunt and flew up and shot another three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
Horn came back with three points, and even if Shambaugh chased it back, it couldn't seal Horn's face.
In this way, I saw Horn almost sitting in the air, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew out, turning into an arc of light. ”
The three-pointer hit again, another crucial three-pointer, and it was Horn's sixth three-pointer.
When such a ball was thrown, all the Knicks players and the entire Madison Garden felt cold in their hearts.
What a cold-blooded killing!
With only one minute left in the game, Horn hit another three-pointer to stretch the gap between the two teams to eight points.
The difficulty of chasing 8 points a minute is already very, very huge!
"It was a crucial goal!" Bill Wharton almost blurted out: "Horn's goal laid the foundation for the Nets' victory." Without this shot, the Knicks still have some hope of chasing 5 points a minute, but now that Horn has hit a three-pointer, the Knicks' hope is slim. ”
Beal makes sense to say this, the last minute is only 60 seconds, the Knicks make one shot, and the Nets will definitely drag time back, as long as the Nets drag the time twice for 24 seconds, the Knicks will have no time.
So Horn's three-pointer almost cut off the Knicks' hopes. A score of 8 and a score of 5 may seem like three points apart, but those three points can take you from heaven to hell.
The Knicks were pushed to this point, and Woodson and the Knicks didn't give in, and they launched a crazy counterattack. But there is too little time, and the Nets are still projection-type in foul tactics.
In the end, the Knicks lost to the Nets by four points at home.
Horn made six three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 23 points, plus 28 points in the first two quarters, Horn scored 51 points in one game.
In the end, as soon as this statistic came out, it shocked the whole league. The country also became enthusiastic in an instant.
The Nets won again against their rival Knicks. This time, the Knicks boss was really angry. The Knicks can lose to anyone, they just can't lose to the Nets.
The Nets, like the Knicks, have money and don't care about losing, but they must not lose to the Knicks.
Now that the Nets have won, the Russian boss is very happy and immediately invited everyone to a big dinner.
After a big meal, the Nets celebrated like a holiday.
The media also broke out in the crazy celebration on the Nets' side that night, and the Knicks lost again! At this time, Anthony could only say depressedly in the media: "We are always unlucky. If it's in the playoffs, we won't lose! ”
Anthony said this Many people think it makes sense, thinking that the current Knicks are ranked higher and have a higher winning rate, they have lost two games in a row, and the Nets Lopez is still injured in this game, so there are still many people who think the Knicks are better.
In this way, the Nets have no choice, and after winning the game, Horn immediately received a new small task, and a game of scoring 20 points under the basket will receive 100 gold coins.
Horn completed the task in the next game. In doing so, Horn opens up a new skill.
He used this skill point on Spike, Spike: Consumes 8 energy points. In Shooting mode, the next shot hits are increased by 7%.
In Savage mode, the next move is 7% more powerful, 5% more bounced, and 3% faster.
In this way, Horn finally has two skills that can be used, and with these two skills, Horn is immediately different on the offensive end.
In the next game, Horn suddenly became extremely ferocious on the offensive end, and this ferocity was not the same as the previous agility.
After having the strength, Horn also abandoned the previous style of jumping around with a lot of feints, and it would be good for my brother to fight directly if he had the strength, what kind of tricks are he playing! That's completely unnecessary.
In fact, those who play very fancy, they don't want to be very fancy, who doesn't want to solve the problem in the simplest way, everyone wants to, but once they don't have physical fitness, they can only use skills to solve it. Playing fancy is just a survival method for some players, not that he likes to play that way.
In fact, more people should like to be O'Neal, with outstanding talent, they don't need to train as hard as Kobe, and they don't need to practice hard for long-range shots, they are lazy in training on weekdays, and they don't play back-to-back games, just rely on their talent and win the championship directly, how good is this!
Horn jumped around before, and there was no way, and he didn't want to play fancy, which would be a waste of physical strength and time.
Now once he has a strength skill, Horn is happy, and he doesn't use any tricks, just use his strength to eat, this is the real insolvability.
Horn's style of these games has changed, from the original jump, to the overlord under the basket, and all kinds of strong games under the basket.
Other teams are not sensitive, but the Nets' players and head coaches are extremely sensitive to changes on Horn's side.
The head coach of the Nets, the little general, wondered at this time, Horn hasn't seen how to practice strength recently, how his basket has become so powerful! Could it be that Horn is really a genius, the little general expressed his doubts here.
The rest of the Nets feel that Horn's pace of progress is a bit scary, and Horn's recent basket play is indeed a bit fierce.
The more powerless a person like him is, the more he actually yearns to play under the basket, and now once he gains power, he is simply a low-post madman.
Horn began to play in the low post on the one hand, making up for the shortcomings of Lopez's absence, and on the other hand, allowing the Nets' results to gradually stabilize.
The Nets gradually stabilized the third position in the East, and at this time, the league's teams have also entered a white-hot stage in order to compete for playoff tickets, and each team has taken out their real skills at this time.
It's okay in the East, the difference between strength and weakness is more obvious, there are only a few strong teams, and the Nets are not bad, and there is not much threat.
But not on the western side, the competition in the western side is extremely fierce, except for the Thunder and Spurs, the other teams are completely entangled, and the gap between them is very small.
At this time, the teams in the East meet the teams in the West have a very low win rate, and in this case, the Nets are meeting the Warriors in the West.
The Warriors have been reborn this season, with the addition of head coach Mark Jackson.
Jackson played point guard with the Pacers and he is the second-most assist-free point guard in history.
Like Mark Jackson or something. The physical fitness is not outstanding. By turning around, turning around, and then turning around again, the defender who is famous in the league. His understanding of tactics is really strong. This kind of person belongs to the person who has theory and practice, and his first step to becoming a warrior is to go to old Nelson.
Nelson Sr. carved his style deeply into the Warriors back then, and Nelson Sr.'s style was free offense and eclectic formation.
It's often said that the Suns' Danteney has brought the team into a fast-paced era, but before Danteni didn't return to the United States. Nelson Sr. has adhered to this style of fast-paced basketball for a long time, but Nelson's fast-paced basketball Sr. does not focus as much on the point guard position as Dendney's fast-paced basketball, nor does it pay as much attention to blocking and using space as Dendney.
Nelson Sr.'s basketball style is more free-spirited and more chaotic, with a lot of improvisations on the court.
Mark Jackson is the one who came out of the Pacers. This team is the team of Big Bird Larry Bird, who is the man who came out of the Celtics. When did the Celtics go free, and Mark Jackson is also a serious man, and he can't lead a team that plays like it did in the old Nelson era.
So the first step when he arrived at the Warriors was to kick out Monta Ellis who was cultivated by Nelson Sr., Monta Iris is not unable to play team basketball, but he has been powerful in the Warriors for many years, and since Johnson intends to break ground on his head, he does not plan to leave the aftermath and let Monta Ellis make small moves behind him.
After kicking out Eris, Jackson's next operation is a stroke of genius. He used Curry as the core. Curry is a player whose potential no one recognized before Mark Jackson. Although Curry has created the Curry miracle, Curry's weaknesses are too obvious. Physicality can be described as poor among NBA players, but Jackson uses Curry as the core.
Once Curry hit the core, combined with the tactics designed by Mark Jackson, he was immediately shocked. Curry played most of the season and suddenly became the hottest star of the season.
Mark Jackson fully unleashed Curry's potential, Curry's accurate three-point shooting, gorgeous ball handling, and exquisite organizational skills have opened the eyes of many fans. And Curry simply subverted the definition of the title of shooter, other shooters either shoot at fixed points or shoot when they catch the ball, only Curry, the demon, is a dribbling shot. This one is just too hard to defend.
Developing such a superstar, Jackson also devised the famous elevator tactics for Curry. This tactic is also hot this season, this tactic sounds very powerful, called elevator tactics, but in fact it is more like an elevator door.
This tactic is used like this, Curry runs without the ball, drills through between the two interior players, receives the ball, and then the two interior players are like elevator doors, and the two sides are closed, forming an extremely wide gate, completely blocking the defender behind, at this time Curry can easily shoot, this is the elevator tactic, more precisely the elevator door tactic.
The Warriors are such a new star in the league, Curry is also a rising star in the league, and the Warriors are still extremely hungry at this time, and now they are ranked sixth and seventh in the West, and the gap between eighth and eighth is very small.
Such a team came from the West in a menacing manner, just to catch the Nets and slaughter them.
The Nets don't have that much pressure at the moment, and this game is not a must-win, so the momentum is not so sufficient.
The game kicked off on the home court of the Nets, and the Warriors' starters were point guard Curry, scoring guard Thompson, small forward White, power forward David Lee, and center Bogut.
Bogut's arrival is also a major change for the Warriors, before the Warriors played fast, the biggest taboo of fast was the big center, the big center was the least suitable for fast-break tactics, even a big center with strong mobility like Howard could not play fast-paced basketball, and his combat effectiveness in fast-paced basketball was reduced by at least three percent.
So now we see Howard in the Rockets is not quite right, on the one hand, Howard's injury has regressed, but the Rockets' tactics are really not in Howard's taste.
The Warriors have come to Bogut, which shows that they have given up on the chaotic free system, and the Warriors need to defend and have interior strength.
The Nets' starters are point guard Williams, scoring guard Stevenson, small forward Wallace, power forward Henry Foss, and center Horn.
Horn is now finally starting to play at the center position, because he has enough strength to play this most crucial position.
The center forward has declined in this era, but a good center is still the dominant player on the court, there is no doubt about it. A good interior player is definitely better than a good outside player, and this is determined by the game itself.
A good outside can only determine offense, not defense, but a good inside can affect every corner of the game.
A good interior player can determine the defensive quality of a team, but no matter how strong an outside player is, he cannot determine the defensive quality of a team alone. But the NBA is a commercial league, and the inside players play far less well than the outside game, so the rules tend to be outside, and then the style of play is also inclined to the outside. So the inside line disappeared, the inside line that could attack disappeared, and the league became a world of point guards.
No one is to blame for this! It is the commercial factor that determines all this, and this is how the wheel of history crushes the center. But Horn appeared, he was a stranger, a character who shouldn't have appeared, so against the times, Horn became the first center. (To be continued.) )
