Chapter 214: Battle of the Suns 2
"Liang Xiao is on the court, and now the Knicks' advantage over the Suns is not obvious, Liang Xiao is on the court to strengthen the firepower."
"The Knicks are still relying on the power of the stars, Houston is alone, and the gods are on earth, hehe, after all, this is not a long-lasting thing, it is still necessary to balance more."
"The Suns are strong, or what you said by Coach Sun, it's not a neat team yet, I think the Suns are still a very strong team except for some unstable factors."
"That's right, you see that the inside line has this year's draft Stoudemire, the performance is very eye-catching, Da Yao may not be comparable to the inside line, plus Marion, the inside line is strong, and the outside line has strength is also good, to strengthen the interspersed inside and outside lines, it must be a strong team, but now there are so many factors lacking, so now there are trade rumors."
"Okay, let's see the changes that Liang Xiao brought to the Knicks."
For this game, many people think that it is a close game, but it is really hard to say in terms of strength, because strength is definitely not a one-plus-one thing, even a team like the Big Five may not be able to play the strength of five people, so it is a little weaker in the Knicks' lineup, but I think it is still stronger than the Sun in terms of integration,
Liang Xiao played, as an All-Star Eastern player this season, against Marbury, this year's Western All-Star, at least in the gimmick can find tricks,
After receiving the ball, Liang Xiao immediately moved forward, and at this time, Marbury smiled in his ear and said, "Hey, your ball is very good." ”
Liang Xiao heard Marbury's praise, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, this is not Marbury's style, in the previous life, Marbury standing in the NBA was a very arrogant and domineering task, but he was not a character who put everyone in his eyes, how to put himself in his eyes now, Marbury in his previous life came to the CBA to make a living after walking out of the NBA, maybe not necessarily to make money, maybe he couldn't let go of basketball, in the CBA, many people love to call Ma political commissar or old horse, Could it be that the love for China in the previous life has reached the present,
Liang Xiao was in a trance, the old horse immediately stretched out his hand, Liang Xiao immediately reacted, and turned around to avoid the old horse's hand, "Hey, old horse, you are not kind." ”
"Old Ma, what kind of consciousness are you scolding me, I can tell you, I'm not easy to mess with." When Marbury heard Liang Xiao's words, he was a little excited to declare war on Liang Xiao.
"Hehe, man, this is the affectionate name of Chinese fans for you, the nickname knows no, I also want to tell you, I am not easy to mess with." After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he staged a pendulum in front of the old horse, but the old horse's movements were not slow, otherwise, he would not have been selected as an all-star, Liang Xiao leaned on the old horse, made an arc at the top, cut to the three-second zone, a backwards, the old horse had to be sealed on Liang Xiao's face, but Liang Xiao still avoided the old horse's cover, the body was in the process of descending, in a rise, Liang Xiao moved to the right at the hand of the old horse's block, and the ball was sent to the Nets, this round, Liang Xiao won the game,
"Hey, you owe me one, wait for me." After Liang Xiao scored a goal, Lao Ma didn't block himself, but smiled at Liang Xiao and wanted to hit himself with a ball.
The old horse really didn't break his promise, after arriving at the front court, he didn't choose to give the little bully who wanted the ball to the inside, Liang Xiao followed the old horse closely, but the old horse's cross step was really too much, Liang Xiao was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, left and right, the speed and rhythm did not follow the routine, Liang Xiao was unchanged to respond to all changes, but just when Liang Xiao thought it was still what he thought, the old horse suddenly went to the left and cut in, Liang Xiao's reaction was not weak, and he moved sideways, and the two of them went to the bottom line nearby, the old horse threw a shot, and the ball fell into the bag steadily, This round of the old horse wins,
"Well, I said you owe me one, and I'll pay it back to you now." After the old horse scored, he said to Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao thought in his heart that this guy took the wrong medicine today or was under the impression of being rumored to come to New York to play, and now he will have a good relationship with himself, anyway, this is not Lao Ma's consistent style, just take care of it, just play your own ball,
Liang Xiao didn't gamble with the old horse, and immediately gave the opportunity to my outside Houston and the madman after entering one, Houston's feel in this game is very good, and the hit rate has reached 90 percent, and there is no psychological pressure in the face of Joe Smith, the madman is in the opposite penny Hardaway, although the two are similar in ability, but the penny has obviously been suppressed in terms of the right to shoot, the old horse and the inner Marion have obviously more shots, and now the performance of the little bully on the inside line is getting better and better, also took away the team's shots, which under certain circumstances, made Penny not have a good time with the Suns,
The first quarter of the game ended in a shot from Lao Ma, Liang Xiao didn't let this guy succeed, and entered the second quarter one point behind.
"Hey, guys, you're doing a great job, and I'm hoping to improve your scoring on the inside in the second quarter, and I'm sure you have the ability." Van Gundy said to the players off the court, because in the first quarter of the game, the contribution of the interior line was not very large, and the scoring was mainly carried out on the outside.
The Knicks implemented Van Gundy's consciousness, in the second quarter of the game, the positional battle was staged more, which made the Suns suffer, the Knicks inside Thomas is a veteran of the positional battle, and the low-post singles are very good, so that Marion is always bullied in the low post, Marion is very good at moving, slamming dunks, and throwing, but when he stops to play against Thomas, he lets Thomas's defense and dirty work harass him so much that he just wants to turn around and elbow,
Xiaobawang against Harrington, but half a catty, Xiaobawang's ability to cut inside and score inside is not weak, Harrington's body can't compete, but Harrington also knows how to use his strengths, because in the middle and long-distance projection, he has an advantage, Xiaobawang often takes care of the inside line and does not take into account the outside,
On the outside line, Lao Ma taught Liang Xiao a lesson, Lao Ma always uses his scoring to make Liang Xiao very difficult to defend, cross step through people, this trick is very practical, the fluency of dribbling is incomparable to many NBA players, no wonder in street ball, Lao Ma also has a high reputation,
At halftime, both teams did not open the score, this game is a battle of proof for each player to his team, the most important thing is Houston, in the previous life, Houston only spent three seasons in the Pistons, dedicated his youth and everything to the Knicks, and now he has six seasons in the Knicks, and now he can't say that he sold himself and sold it, but who can say that this is a definite thing, businessmen are always pursuing the maximization of profits, Lao Ma doesn't care, or I hope so, When he came to the Knicks, he couldn't ask for it, as a team in his hometown, there is no player who will not be remembered, just like in his previous life, the Houston Rockets did not choose Lewis, which made Lewis painful, and Lao Ma hoped that he could play in Madison Square Garden and his hometown team.
In the locker room, Liang Xiao and the madman were laughing and laughing, but Houston, as the core of the team, has no heart to talk to everyone now, this good gentleman is not very willing to show his inner thoughts in normal times, and now he is involved in rumors and can only use his own actions to tell others, I am willing to stay in New York, stay in the Knicks,
But the world doesn't have to stop moving forward because of one person.
The second half of the game started very quickly, Van Gundy didn't emphasize too much in the locker room, the Knicks did a very good job in the first half, and it is best for the Knicks to do a good job of defense now, because in the lineup, the Knicks can only do this,
Houston played extraordinarily, Joe Smith who defended him had more time to rest than him, even if he hung on Houston's body, Houston could still hit the ball, the Suns head coach chose to pack Houston, Marion often went out of the three-second zone to assist Houston, but Houston's range was far enough to surprise Liang Xiao, in the past, Liang Xiao only knew that Houston was very good at three-point and long-distance projection to win the reputation of a mid-range shooting king, but in this game, Even when he chose to shoot just past the halfway point, the ball really hit, and the square on the rebound bounced into the net bag.
Liang Xiao looked at Houston's lifeless outburst, and was really speechless, big brother, don't do this even if you don't leave, isn't this a blow to other people's confidence, Liang Xiao didn't set up obstacles for Houston in the second half, knowing that what he needs to do most at this time is to send the ball comfortably to Houston's hands, so that he can vent well,
In the second half, Liang Xiao didn't shoot twice, but the assists have been ten, but in this situation, the Knicks can't play a good positional battle, Lao Ma led the Suns to play small-ball tactics, and they ran very fast, Marion and Xiaobawang's movement speed was not bad, which had a very big impact on the Knicks' interior, in the last two minutes of the third quarter of the game, Van Gundy replaced Houston, which couldn't stand it at all, this is not the usual Houston, the usual scruple group, Houston, who is scruples about defense, is now a bit of a stubborn taste, and the shooting is very impressive, but the opponent is not a fool, so the Knicks become a goal machine, and they have to attack without good restrictions.
Van Gundy's substitution strategy obviously did not have a good effect, and the game was lost in the end, because in the fourth quarter of the game, Houston, who was replaced, was still crazy like a goal, Liang Xiao and the madman's shooting power was significantly reduced, and the Knicks' home Suns had the last laugh.
