Chapter 290: Victory over the Knicks

Stoudemire was taken aback, and there was not enough time for him to react any more, and the number 9 had already crashed into him.

This No. 9, of course, is Yi Jianlian.

There was no jump, no preparation, no steady, and in the absence of these three, Stoudemire was knocked out directly.

"Bang!" Yi Jianlian took advantage of the situation to dunk the basketball into the basket. "Drink!" Yi Jianlian, who fell to the ground, roared happily, it was really cool.

"I'll you!" Stoudemire took several steps back to hold himself down, but at this moment he was already extremely angry and aggrieved in his heart. He was actually raced like this faceless twice in a row, as the little overlord Stoudemire, when did he suffer this kind of anger? What made him most depressed was that neither Wang Meng nor Yi Jianlian defeated him head-on in the real sense, Wang Meng leaned on his shoulders with his hands, and Yi Jianlian did this by borrowing Wang Meng's pass.

Stoudemire naturally knows this, but the audience doesn't know, most of the audience are pseudo-fans, what they like is to simply play beautifully, they don't care about what moves the other party uses, they only remember who was taught a hard lesson.

Needless to say, Stoudemire was already anticipating what tomorrow's sports newspapers would say about the game.

Seeing that his lover was knocked over twice in a row, D'Antoni didn't dare to exaggerate, and hurriedly called a timeout.

"Well done!" Through the pause, Wang Meng said to Yi Jianlian.

"It's you who pass the ball well." Yi Jianlian has returned to his former appearance as a good student since he just finished dunking the basket. However, he was very happy in his heart, and he knew that just with this dunk, his playing time would definitely increase.

In fact, Monty did not make any personnel changes during the timeout, and Yi Jianlian still played as a cameo center.

D'Antoni on the Knicks' side deliberated for a long time and finally decided to replace Stoudemire, who was a little hot, off the court first. Let Chandler play center again. Although Chandler's offensive ability is a little poor, but with him guarding the basket, Wang Meng and others can't wreak havoc on the basket like just now.

Since losing back-to-back playoff games during his time with the Suns, D'Antoni has also focused some attention on defense, after all, it is difficult to win a championship on offense alone.

Chandler's defense is indeed good, but he was unlucky to play against Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's original draft template was Nowitzki, and his outside shooting ability is very strong.

In order to prevent Wang Meng, Chandler guarded the basket at the beginning, and waited for Wang Meng to break through Nash and then stepped forward to make up for the defense, but after Wang Meng broke through Nash and rushed into the inner line, Chandler just went up to stop Wang Meng, and saw Wang Meng pass the ball out, turned his head to look, but saw Yi Jianlian comfortably posing on the three-point line in the corner to shoot.

The basketball slowly spins in the air and then obediently flies into the hoop.

"Okay!" Scoring five points, Yi Jianlian waved his fist with hatred in his heart, but there was no expression on his face and retreated to the backcourt.

The Knicks were stunned to find that their entire team was helpless against a soy sauce player. Yi Jianlian is 2.12 meters tall, in addition to Anthony and Chandler, scumbags like Shambaugh who are only 1.93 meters tall have no way to make up for the defense, and Yi Jianlian has become very hot because of the previous riding of the ball from Stoudemire, and then Wang Meng broke through the pass after attracting the bag, and actually scored 3 goals in a row, one of which was a three-point shot.

D'Antoni could only continue to call a timeout, replacing Shambaugh and letting Stoudemire come on as a power forward to mark Yi Jianlian.

For the sake of a role player, D'Antoni was forced to change the team's lineup. But even so, the effect is still not very good, because the Hornets' current lineup can shoot three points from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and if you want to prevent them, you must all go to the outside to defend, but all the players are on the outside, Wang Meng is happy, because the Knicks do not have a player who can prevent their breakthroughs, there is no one on the inside, Wang Meng as long as he continues to break through, he can easily tear apart the defense line that the Knicks have organized with great difficulty.

In the second half, Monty seized the characteristics of the Knicks running too fast and high physical exertion, and replaced them with Wang Meng, Roy, Wallace, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol, so that they could run against the Knicks regardless of their physical strength. The Hornets and the Knicks are of course weak, but at this time, the Knicks' firepower exerted a little bit of power, not only chasing back the score that was a little behind before, but also leading the Hornets by 6 points.

But then, the Knicks were a bit blind, and Monty switched to the lineup of Fisher, Tony Allen, Barnes Oden and Milicic when both players were running out of breath and played a defensive battle. The Knicks collapsed in an instant, and the physical exertion was too great, resulting in the Knicks' fast break speed was far less fast than in the first quarter, and under the strict defense of the Hornets, the Knicks' various outside shots missed, and various breakthroughs were blocked by the two big men Oden and Milicic inside, although the Hornets' offense was not strong due to lineup problems, but at least they could score steadily.

During this time, the Hornets caught up with all the scores after landing, and here they widened the score gap to more than ten points.

When Wang Meng and other main players played again, the Knicks only lasted less than two minutes, and Wang Meng opened an instant explosion and used a fatal blow to hit a 3+1 to score 8 points in a row, and lost the mind to resist.

Seeing that the Knicks were replaced by the bench, the Hornets also changed to the bench.

As one of the heroes of the victory in this game, Yi Jianlian did not play in the final garbage time, Yi Jianlian was not depressed, but secretly happy, did not play in garbage time, which proves that the head coach has determined his tactical value.

In this game, Yi Jianlian scored 18 points, the highest score in years. Although he only came on as a substitute, his powerful long-range shooting ability made him and Wang Meng's partner very effective.

Wang Meng got 25 points and 11 assists, and although Nash with Wang Meng sent 13 assists, but under Wang Meng's defense, he only scored 8 points, but fortunately, he didn't have high requirements for scoring, so it didn't matter.

Among the two teams, the highest scorer was Anthony of the Knicks, who scored a game-high 31 points, but the shooting percentage was very average, only in his early 40s.

Both sides scored high points in this game, with the Hornets at 139 and the Knicks at 132, which is already a rarity in the absence of a fight.

It is worth mentioning that the game scene of Wang Meng and Yi Jianlian riding and dunking Stoudemire has been hyped by many newspapers and media, especially Chinese reporters, who have two Chinese players to humiliate Xiaobawang together, which is a news that has rarely appeared in the past few years.

Stoudemire became popular in China, although he was also well-known before, but his popularity in China was only average, only people who knew basketball knew him, but now, everyone knows the unlucky guy who was buckled by Wang Meng and Yi Jianlian. As a result, Stoudemire has been awarded a lot of advertising contracts for Chinese goods, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.

defeated the Knicks, and the Hornets were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, because the next few opponents were not particularly strong.

Pacers, Suns, Nuggets, Clippers, these four teams cannot be regarded as particularly strong teams, at least in the eyes of Wang Meng and others, they are much worse than teams such as the Knicks and Thunder, but there is a problem that makes Wang Meng quite a headache, because these four games are all away. That's right, back-to-back in a row.

The Hornets have won 9 in a row, a streak of wins, although the momentum is very encouraging, but such a streak, the pressure on the players' spirit is also very large, the players played mostly at home, with sufficient rest time, but it is not revealed, but in this continuous away game, the players' physical strength will be consumed very quickly, coupled with mental fatigue, it is likely that the Hornets will be crushed by the team.

The Hornets are a new army, and Monty doesn't dare to risk testing if the Hornets can withstand such high pressure.

Therefore, Monty chose to give the entire Hornets a two-day break after playing the game with the Knicks.

For a compact NBA event, it's nice to have two days off.

Wang Meng, who had nothing to do during the holidays, decisively flew to New York to find Taylor.

During this time, Taylor was busy in New York about the new album, although people can't leave, but there is still a lot of free time, Wang Meng is ready to relax with Taylor in New York for two days, and then go back to the Hornets round teammates to Indiana.

It didn't take long for New Orleans to get to New York, and a few hours later, Wang Meng was already standing in New York.

Taylor, who had already received Wang Meng's call, was waiting for Wang Meng outside the airport.

"Hey!" From a distance, Taylor saw Wang Meng and beckoned at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng walked in and saw Taylor's outfit, and rolled his eyes helplessly, "I said, can't you change your outfit?" Always this one? ”

Taylor had come in disguise, dressed almost the same as before, and wearing a hat that would have been mistaken for a pickpocket if you didn't look closely.

"I think this looks good!" Taylor smiled slightly and said, "Besides, it's just me dressing up in disguise, it's just like this for the sake of simplicity and convenience, and I don't usually dress like this." Alright, let's get in the car. ”

As a result of sneaking out, Taylor's car was just a very ordinary sedan, and in a big city like New York, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention at all.

In fact, Taylor came to pick up Wang Meng, and he didn't need to disguise himself at all, because the relationship between the two of them is now known to almost all the United States, and it is not a secret, and there is no secrecy or anything, but the two of them always like to be sneaky like a spy joint, maybe because this has some special meaning when they meet two people.
