Chapter 33: A Date with Melons
With the two big wins in the opening season, the Warriors are full of momentum and have great ambitions to win 72 wins in three seasons. The Warriors' next game may also be a special opponent, the New York Knicks. This team has been rotten for many years, this is a team with an extremely glorious history, but it still seems to be unable to find a direction in these years, and the recent season has brought in good players such as Anthony, Stoudemire, and Chandler, but the results are still not good. The interesting thing is that this season, the Knicks also killed the Celtics and Hawks in the first two games, which is a big surprise, and it seems that the Knicks are slowly transforming. There is another point, perhaps a big highlight, that is, there are currently two games played, and Lin Fei's average score per game is 29 points, but he is not the scoring champion, and the scoring champion is the Knicks' Cameron? Anthony. The reason why it is interesting is because Lin Fei is the strongest offensive firepower but the most singular player in the league, and Anthony may be the most comprehensive offensive player in the league today, he can not only break through, but also shoot, both with his back and at fixed points. James once commented that the player he feels is the hardest player to defend in the league today is Anthony. In a collision like Lin Fei and Anthony, who will be the final winner may only be able to see during the game.
Anyway, there was a bit of a story back then. In addition to the Warriors, in fact, the Knicks are the closest team to Lin Fei, but unfortunately at the last moment, Lin Fei was invited to the Knicks to try, but in the end the Knicks didn't ask for it, because they felt that Lin Fei's line was relatively large.
Anthony, who is now the scoring champion of the Knicks, is nicknamed Melon, and he is exceptionally sweet when he laughs. And Lin Fei also has the nickname of the smiling assassin, although this nickname does not only belong to him, he is not an authentic smiling assassin, but people know that behind Lin Fei's smile may be extraordinarily cold-blooded. However, for the next game, Anthony is looking forward to it. Although this guy gives the impression of lacking a little bit of domineering, so even though many people think that he and James are natural rivals, no one has ever thought that Anthony can reach the height of James. But because Lin Fei's scenery in the past two seasons has even overshadowed James, James directly regarded Lin Fei as his number one enemy, and Anthony is rarely even mentioned again, from this point of view, Anthony may need to prove that he may be James's real enemy.
It's just a clash of superstars. And for the positional duel, it seems to be very clear. One thing is for sure, Lin Fei definitely has the strength to complete the Knicks' point guard, because the Knicks don't have a speed to defend Lin Fei's first step, their point guards turned out to be Kidd, McBiby, Byron Davis These old players, it can be said that after Lin Fei took the first step, he was able to turn around and smile at them, and then leave easily. At the same time, if Keynes plays point guard, the Warriors' guard line combination can almost crush the Knicks. Because no one in Cairns, whether he is shooting or breaking, can keep up with Cairns. The biggest suspense in the duel of the guard line may be whether the Warriors are Keynes or Lin Fei, and they are a little more ruthless.
Then it's safe to say that the Warriors will have a hard time defending Anthony and Smalls. Even if the Warriors have a defensive master like Keynes, when facing Anthony, the difficulty of defense will not be lower than that of defending James, because Keynes and James have played against each other many times, and he knows some of James' habits, he likes to defend James' breakthrough to force James to shoot, and when defending Anthony, you don't know what Anthony will do next.
Don't forget, the Knicks' interior role Stoudemire and Chandler are both strong players, and the Warriors have almost no way to defend the violent play on the offensive end of the Warriors, and Chandler as the best defensive player, the defensive skills can be seen, from his selection to the national team, in fact, he is still quite level, but some people are not optimistic that Chandler can play a great role against the Warriors. Maybe it's because of the Warriors' style of play. The Warriors pay attention to impact, the offensive range is relatively outside, and more than half of the shots are even shots from outside the three-point line, and Chandler's toughness may be useless. In the previous confrontation between the Warriors and the Knicks, the Warriors took a lot of initiative, but this season's Knicks have defeated strong opponents one after another, perhaps the run-in between their players and the coach's tactical arrangements have become more and more mature, and they may still be a bit of a threat to the Warriors.
The game is fast approaching.
The two teams battled for the ball, Chandler was stronger than Clauderson, and the Knicks took the lead in getting the ball.
The Knicks' current tactics are playing Anthony's core, but Anthony is not used to attacking with the ball, and he is not like James. However, after half-time, Anthony was definitely the absolute point of attack.
Antony held the ball high and it was Keynes who defended him. Keynes also knew Anthony's ability,
Anthony took a stride, then slammed back, directly pulled away from Keynes, and then hit the ball with ease.
It seems that Anthony's desire to attack is particularly strong!
This may be a good sign, only if Anthony is crazy can there be a good game. Because the Warriors' offense has never been worrying, Lin Fei's offense is now quite stable, even if Lin Fei's offense is not in a state, the Warriors' trident combination can definitely carry the banner of the Warriors' offense.
