Chapter 119: Derby Derby
The New York derby, Horn and Anthony, new and old hatreds, the attention of fans in such a game is naturally very high.
The one who came to explain today's game was also a heavyweight lineup, the ** Tiantuan, Charles Barkley, Shaquin O'Neal, and Chris Webb came to the scene to comment.
The three of them looked bigger than the stars on the pitch, and the three of them started chatting before the game started.
"Hey! Chris, we all know you admire Horn, tell us about today's game! ”
Chris Webber also said politely at this time: "Today is the New York derby, and in terms of strength, it must be the Knicks who are stronger." And although the Knicks have only played for a week, their defense is very strong, and more importantly, Stadamyre is injured. We were always concerned about whether Stadamire and Anthony would be compatible, but now we don't have to worry about that, Woodson can use Anthony as the core completely! ”
"And it's a good idea for Woodson to have Anthony big forward!" At this time, Barkley couldn't help but interject: "Anthony's lateral movement is not good, but his confrontation ability is not weak, he can avoid his weaknesses and play his own points by playing power forward." At the same time, he is misplaced for anyone at power forward, and this is a perfect solution for the team! ”
"The Knicks' 4-1 record so far is very good, and that's why they've used this lineup. Let's see what Horn and Anthony can each do today at the power forward position! ”
O'Neill also began to join the debate at this time: "Anthony is doing a good job in the No. 4 position, Horn is no worse than him, Horn has easily passed all the players who are playing against him in the last few games, and he is now also a big boss level player." ”
"However, the Nets are still not as good as the Knicks on the foundation, the Knicks are more systematic in terms of configuration, and the Nets are too lacking in offense. Attack will be a key word in tonight's game! ”
The game began when the three former superstars were in full swing, and the game opened with the Knicks' half of the ball as usual.
Lopez definitely can't compete with Chandler, the Knicks got the ball, and Woodson on the sidelines immediately glanced at the junior general opposite.
The two of them have fought each other for a long time, and of course neither of them wants to lose today, one look at the two of them immediately moved away, but they both revealed their strong will.
Woodson and the young general, both head coaches in New York, are under a lot of pressure, and both understand that the New York derby is even more meaningful than the regular season results, and this is the best chance to win the hearts and minds of the fans.
Woodson came to New York this season and pushed Anthony to the power forward position, and New York started playing small ball. But Woodson's ball has its own characteristics, and Woodson's ball is very defending, and it's a small ball that takes defense seriously.
And Woodson also has his own way on offense, in the offense Woodson reuses guards, and the offense mostly starts with guards and big men, Anthony is freed from the ball-holding offense, allowing Anthony to do more catch-and-shoot jumpers and reduce Anthony's ball-handling offense.
According to this number, Anthony's offensive efficiency has greatly increased, the team's activity has greatly increased, and Woodson has paid attention to defense, so only a week after the start of the season, the Knicks have been playing vigorously.
Although the Nets also have a high win rate, they can't be compared with the Knicks, and the Nets win by hard work. The team that wins desperately in the regular season will not go far in the playoffs, because no one really works hard with you in the regular season, and everyone works hard in the playoffs, but it is not an advantage to work hard afterwards, but a disadvantage, because after the regular season, there is no room for the playoffs.
{That's why the Bulls lost so happily to the Wizards this season!} }
Both teams are desperate today, the Nets are also desperate, and the Knicks are also desperate, but the Knicks are obviously more organized.
Felton's main goal is to break through the ball, Kidd to deploy, Anthony to attack, and Shambaught and Chandler to defend.
The routine of the Knicks' small lineup is very clear, and they play very organized, breaking, blocking, shooting, and transferring, all on the idea of small ball.
Kidd looked unremarkable on the pitch but managed the ball very well and Felton and Shambaugh were very energetic.
The Knicks' small-ball lineup is very sharp offensively, and the Knicks are also very aggressive defensively, both on the ball and on people, and in this case, the Nets are too far behind others.
The Nets are notoriously bad offensively, with neither a system nor a strong point, Williams is lost, and Lopez doesn't even think about playing Chandler.
In this situation, it took only 3 minutes for the Knicks to beat the Nets.
At 13:4, the Nets fell behind by 9 points on a layup, and the general was furious and replaced Henry Foss with Horn.
Horn walked into the court from the sidelines, and the moment he came out, Madison Garden was booed.
Horn is currently the Knicks' public enemy and the most hated person by Anthony fans, so he must come up to a chorus of boos.
In the face of a chorus of boos, Horn had no expression on his face, Horn thought that he didn't need to be angry with these fans at all, what could they do if they booed themselves, you have the ability to bite me!
Horn doesn't care about being booed by them! Horn came on, and Anthony looked at Horn with a very cautious look from the sidelines.
He had already lost to Horn once last season, and he won't be careless again this season, so Anthony's eyes are very, very serious at this time.
The rest of the Knicks' players also looked at Horn, and they all understood that although Horn was a bench, he was the Nets' most dangerous enemy, and Horn was like a bomb, and once it exploded, it was very powerful.
Horn tees off the sideline, and then immediately runs to the court to get the ball, Horn only got the ball here, and found that the Knicks immediately set up a strong side of the defense, and this time Horn all three players coordinated with each other to form a small defensive formation, this formation is mainly to defend themselves to break through, and Anthony came up to interfere with his shot.
The Knicks were very well prepared, and at this time Horn still wanted to solve the problem with a forced offense like he did against the Timberwolves, but he only broke through one step after opening a three-game on his side, and he bumped into the moving Kidd.
Kidd fell to the ground and the referee gave Horn a foul.
Horn looked at Kidd who fell to the ground in a daze at this time, he was a little depressed, this old man's sense of position is too good, and the timing is too good, and he will definitely not be able to escape this old man's deception if he forcibly breaks through.
