At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 19:23. The 76ers are a team that relies on defense to eat, and the Knicks are obviously pulled down by the opponent, shooting only 33 in the first quarter of the whole team, and it is no wonder that they are condescending.

Brand's play was eye-catching, the old captain made 4 shots in the first quarter, and these only 4 shots were all successfully converted into points, and the super high shooting rate made Harrington, who was in the same position, feel guilty, he also shot 4 shots, but in the end only the first one was converted into a score, and it was an unguarded dunk.

Milicic doesn't care much about the score on the court, he just secretly remembers his score, two points on two shots, and a shooting percentage of 50, which is enough, Victory Cigar has never demanded much of himself, unlike Harrington, he does not have the luxury of toppling Chandler's starting position, as long as he occupies a stable bench position, he can stay honest.

"Limit the opposing interior offense, Brand is an All-Star level power forward, if he gets the right shot, we will be difficult, I believe the first quarter of the game has made you realize his difficulty, even if people say that he is a high-paid and low-energy parallel import, but in this game, he is still the super power forward who shoots accurately!"

D'Antoni patiently instructed his disciples, "Darko, Al's defense is not very good, you have to pay attention to the defense at all times, don't wait for Brand to get a chance to go up, you have to deal with it in advance." ”

Compared to Harrington coached by Nelson Sr., D'Antoni is still more willing to believe in Milicic who came out of Brown Sr. And the actual situation in the past few games has also proved that the defense of the victory cigar can bring victory to the Knicks.

As for Li Chen, D'Antoni didn't say much. It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's just that he doesn't think it's necessary, and after so many games, the mustache can also see that Big Apple doesn't need someone to give him such and such guidance, and he can understand the game very well.

While the 2-of-5 shooting percentage in the first quarter was not satisfactory, it was only the first quarter, and more things will have to wait for the game to continue.

Like what. At the beginning of the second quarter, Eddie Jordan noticed that the Big Apple was not sitting on the bench as usual, and he was still on the court. Fight with the substitutes to recover the difference.

Li Chen stepped into the three-point line, squeezed away Capono and passed straight to Landry under the basket, because Blazek had moved out to make up for the defense, Landry easily put the ball into the basket. The rotation of injuries on the inside line allowed Landry, who has been unable to play, to gain a lot of playing time. Compared to Rocket's brother, his situation is obviously worse than one street.

Entering the 76ers' offensive round, the Knicks' players did not sit still, and although Thorton's bold cut failed to steal the ball, it also caused a mistake for the 76ers, and when most of the offensive time was spent, Thaddeus Young's hasty shot did not score points.

Thorton, who picked up the rebound, made a long pass directly to Li Chen, who ran past half the court, and his usual training made him very clear about his boss's habits. As long as the defense is successful, the Big Apple will always run to the opponent's basket as soon as possible. And this time was no exception, Li Chen received the ball all the way into the 76ers' paint area, and then dunked it, during which Capono has been firmly stuck by the Big Apple.

"The defense of the substitute lineup is obviously not as good as the main force, and Capono's physical fitness is also very deficient compared to Iguodala, at least in the face of Li Chen's forced breakthrough, he seems powerless!" The commentary obviously sees the situation on the field very thoroughly.

"D'Antoni clearly wants the Big Apple to take advantage of the 76ers' laxity to cut points, after all, he is still young, physical strength is not pressure on him at all, he has played an average of 36 minutes per game this season, but all kinds of facts show that the Big Apple is now fully capable of more than 40 minutes of play, and even playing the whole game is not a problem for him!"

D'Antoni on the sidelines shook his mustache, the guess he explained was right, as a coach, he must be very clear about the physical fitness of his disciples, although it is not very safe to use high loads, but it is not a big deal to abuse it occasionally, after all, this is young capital.

Another layup that hit the inside, and after the goal, the Big Apple smugly glanced at the 76ers' bench, he made up his mind to bully the bench, and if the 76ers don't make changes, it seems that he intends to continue bullying.

As the head coach, Eddie Jordan couldn't stand it at first, and in just one and a half minutes, the Knicks managed to tie the score, according to the original plan, he was ready to send the main team in about four minutes, but now it seems that the plan has to be advanced, God knows how many points the Big Apple will get in these short two or three minutes.

Daimport played, Iguodala also played, the interior barrier and the outside defensive core showed Eddie Jordan's determination to limit the Big Apple, but the result was not optimistic, the Big Apple came to a back single in front of Iguodala, not only scored two points, but also successfully cheated a foul, and no one could stop the hot Big Apple.

"Bang!" The people of Philadelphia made a sound of striking iron in unison, they tried to put a little pressure on Li Chen, but I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Big Apple smiled at the audience and immediately closed his eyes, and he threw the free throw out of the way.

Swish! This result instantly made the audience sigh in unison, Li Chen's smile just now was very casual and turned into a smile containing contempt in their eyes, isn't it just to score a goal, what is there to be proud of, many fans cursed loudly.

"Hey, boss, keep a low profile, I can't wait to kill you when I look at them!" Thorton, who was standing on the side, snickered secretly, he also wanted to do this, but he believed that if he really dared to learn from Li Chen, it would not be far from the day when he left, the team boss was called personality, but when he was a rookie, it would become incomprehensible.

Li Chen pursed his lips, "You also said it, I can't wait for it, I just like this kind of feeling that makes people gnash their teeth and disgust others." Entertain yourself and base your happiness on the pain of others, that's my motto! ”

In the next offensive. Li Chen explained what he had just said with practical actions, in the face of Iguodala's close defense, Li Chen took the ball unhurriedly, because it was his back, Iguodala couldn't see Li Chen's specific movements at all.

Picking up the ball and putting it on the side of his cheek, Li Chen made a look like he was going to turn around and attack, but in fact, he was just pretending. Larry Hughes suddenly cut diagonally into the 76ers' defense, Li Chen nudged with his hand, and the basketball slid past Iguodala's ear.

The steal king used a beautiful three-pointer to repay Li Chen's assist. Iguodala shook his head angrily, according to common sense, he didn't make a mistake in defense this time, but this time he faced Li Chen. A lot of common sense in the past didn't work for this freak.

"Isn't it disgusting!" Li Chen whispered. "Rest assured, you're not the first, a lot of people have tried it, including veterans like Pierce and rising stars like Durant, and luckily you're on the same level as the best in these leagues on this issue."

"Phew!" Iguodala spat out. "Are you talking about yourself, indeed. It's disgusting, but it's the first time I've heard someone say they're disgusting! ”

"Say whatever you want!" Li Chen shook off the next sentence and walked away, he didn't have any interest in messing with his opponent today, everyone was waiting for the result of this game, he didn't want to be described as a funny clown by some uninteresting people.

Iguodala seized the opportunity to return one, and he staged a vigorous windmill dunk for the audience as he broke through the baseline, and the atmosphere in the arena exploded instantly, although Xiao Ai is not an all-round scorer, but he is a qualified dunk, as long as he is given the opportunity, he can always send beautiful goals that make people's hormones soar.

"I'm sick to you! I'm sorry, you don't want to stage such a ball in your life, you tragic floor stream player. After the goal, Iguodala made fun of Li Chen unscrupulously, no wonder, on the whole, Iguodala can only be stronger than Li Chen in bounce and defense, and Xiao Ai, who finally caught the opportunity to taunt, has no reason to give up.

"It's like you're ahead!" Li Chen said calmly that the Knicks were already 6 points ahead at this time, and he didn't need to argue with his opponent.

Halfway through the second quarter, the 76ers have replaced all the main lineups, but in the face of the Knicks, who are in full swing, the lineup that has just worked suddenly lost its original effect, and Li Chen has brought a lot of trouble to Eddie Jordan's tactics with his personal offense and erratic passing.

The 76ers had to call a timeout, and in this short period of time, they sacrificed a trick - bag clamp, Li Chen was warmly welcomed by Eddie Jordan, and Iguodala was very unhappy with such a result, but he still firmly chose the former between victory and personal dignity.

Indeed, compared to the previous Knicks, the current team is even more tragic, except for Li Chen, they have almost no second player who can bring deterrence to the opponent, although Harrington has this potential, but in front of the experienced Brand and Damporter, he obviously does not have the capital to jump.

And Milicic and Larry Hughes are not people who can attack with the ball, Victory Cigar is very self-aware, and Larry Hughes will only be full of strong heads, if these two people don't have a good chance, Li Chen will rarely choose to let them end the attack.

The only remaining babyface can only be said to have this ability, but he has not been stable enough.

After the 76ers unfolded the pack, Li Chen had to focus more on passing, and because of the increase in defensive intensity, it was impossible for him to be as casual as before, in case he accidentally dropped the ball by the pack, it would be really disgusting.

With the ball on the outside, Iguodala was on the lookout. Li Chen turned around and pulled the ball back to break through from the other side, Brand quickly squeezed over from the other side, the two raised hands almost blocked all possible passing routes, and Li Chen had no choice but to pass the ball back to Curry.

At this time, you can see the level of Eddie Jordan, although there will always be leaks on the court because of the bag, but in fact, the 76ers did not leave much space for the Knicks, after Li Chen passed, Brand quickly stood back, and Iverson was also very decisive in front of Curry, from the perspective of the court, the Knicks had no suitable opportunities at all.

"Pull away, don't stand still and wait for the ball, I want to see you guys running!" The mustache stood on the sidelines and shouted victory, although it is a good thing that Li Chen can take on the offensive burden, but to a certain extent, it also makes other players start to become lazy, just like Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, but the Knicks are not so excessive for the time being.

Curry walked along the three-point line and Larry Hughes cruised on either side of the baseline, but that superficial engineering didn't put much pressure on the 76ers, and eventually, the Knicks threw the ball out before time ran out, but the ball went in.

The little rookie was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a thing as shit luck to appear on him, and in the face of Iverson's gaze, Curry shrugged, as if he was showing that he didn't mean to.

For the 76ers, such a ball is obviously very demoralizing, but fortunately, it is Iverson, and the answer is not to complain because of this ball, at least, they seem to have found an opportunity to limit the Knicks! (To be continued......)
