Chapter 244 Breaking the Net, Prove

The return of the Knicks is undoubtedly an exciting news for the Knicks at the end of the season, the Knicks have been bumpy since the beginning of the season, and there have been changes in the middle, and it is not easy for the old teammate Houston to maintain the current record after the departure of Houston.

In any case, as far as the current development trend of the Knicks is concerned, it is still very promising in the playoff competition, because the Knicks are in good shape now, although they are not ranked high in the East, but there are still not too many problems with the Knicks in the playoffs.

At the celebration of Van Horne's return, Van Gundy also has great confidence in the team's future, encouraging everyone to go to the next few regular season games, so that the Knicks can strive for a place in the playoffs, Van Gundy's words give everyone confidence is still very strong, not to mention that the Knicks are under Van Gundy's many years of **, the defensive ability is very outstanding, and Van Gundy's ability in the playoffs has always been a proof, who can't take the Knicks far, But what follows may be unexpected,

In the arrival of Liang Xiao, the Knicks have undergone tremendous changes, but Van Gundy's conservative tactics are slowly changing, at least in his previous life, Van Gundy was a very conservative person, much more conservative than now, mainly in the center position is to rely on a strong center to win, in the Knicks is Gorilla Ewing, in the Rockets is Da Yao, but now the Knicks do not have a strong center in the strict sense, this is also Van Gundy is changing,

Because New York to New Jersey is not very far, soon to this beautiful city, but the Knicks and his party did not appreciate the city known as the garden state, and soon began to prepare for the game, due to Van Horn's injury recovery time is short, in the last game against the Raptors The playing time is very short, although the physical recovery is better, but a month is definitely a process of falling too far for NBA players who have to insist on training for more than six hours every day, It will take a lot of time to get to the team after his comeback to reach the pre-injury level, and it is also meaningful for Van Horn to play on the Nets' home court, after all, Van Horn has played for the Nets and has achieved good results.

In the arena, Van Horn and his teammates did not train very hard, but the Knicks players seemed very relaxed, as if they were facing a strong opponent.

The game was played on Wednesday, but the New Jersey Nets' home stadium, Continental Airlines Stadium, was still packed, and the Nets have been in a great situation this season, and the fans will definitely not skimp on their cheers and support for a strong contender for the title.

"Friends from the audience, welcome to watch today's NBA, today's broadcast game is the Knicks vs. Nets game, the guest we invited is still our old friend Zhang, now our game still has a period of time, I hope you can send a text message to participate in our program, the way to contact has been played at the bottom of the screen." Imperial TV broadcast the game between the Knicks and the Nets live, and before the start of the game, the host began the routine opening,

"Coach Zhang, we are now watching the Knicks' game can be regarded as worrying, you look at the Knicks' game in the previous period, it was very unstable, I remember that before the All-Star Game, the Knicks have always been in the top eight in the East, but some time ago they were about to fall out of the top eight, and the ups and downs are worrying." The host made an analysis of the Knicks' battle situation some time ago,

Director Zhang's hoarse voice sounded, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Knicks fans, especially Liang Xiao's fans: "I think the Knicks' performance in the past time is excusable, why, you see that the Knicks are not very strong on the inside, and they are missing a big general like Van Horn, as long as they meet a team with a strong interior line, the Knicks will definitely suffer, plus some time ago, Sprewell was also injured, and the rebounds are not guaranteed, if you only expect Marbury and Liang Xiao, it is still a little unrealistic, The ups and downs also show that the Knicks' confidence is in question, and I think the Knicks will play better in this game. ”

"I also think it's going to be a good game, the Knicks are all in the roster now, and everybody's back." The host is very optimistic about the Knicks, "Okay, now the director has played a data comparison between Knicks Marbury and Kidd of the Nets on the screen, Kidd is averaging 18.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game, Marbury is averaging 22.3 points, 3.3 boards, 8.7 assists per game, and both can be said to be All-Star level players." ”

"I think the director means that the key to fans seeing this game may be to see the two teams in organizing guards, but then again, in terms of organizing guards, Kidd is more professional, and even in the triple-double data, Kidd's all-round ability can be shown, but Marbury is not weak, plus the Knicks still have players like Liang Xiao and Sprewell, and the comparison of the lineup is still very interesting."

After nearly half an hour of idle talk, the live game finally started in the scolding of the fans.

"The Knicks' starting lineup is Van Horne, Thomas, Sprewell, Liang Xiao and Marbury, and now it's a full lineup, and the Nets' starting lineup is Jason Collins, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, Krikittels and Jason Kidd." The host introduced the lineups on both sides one by one, Uncle Mu collapsed on the Nets, but his body was limited, and he played a total of 36 games in this season, and in his previous life, he went to the Knicks next season.

There was a cheer in the stadium of Continental Airlines, the Knicks were coming, the Nets fans were not polite, from the beginning of the game, there were fans who treated the Knicks as losers, the game began in the center's scrum, the Knicks did not have a soft hand, the returning Van Horn faced the garbage center Collins has too many advantages, the opponent only averaged 5.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, and it can't be compared with Van Horn who has 16 points and 7 rebounds,

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks relied on the inside line under the organization of Marbury, and the first ball was Van Horn's shot, which was the first gift to Van Horn's return, the opponent had Kenyon Martin on the inside, and now Martin is in full swing, bounce and rush are very good, and can have 8.3 rebounds and about 17 points per game, but under the double combination of Van Horn and Thomas, it is still difficult to support alone,

However, the game is not as difficult as the Knicks expected, after all, the Nets' wins this season can show that they are a strong team, but the Knicks are not much weaker than the Nets now, maybe stronger than their opponents in some aspects, after Kidd's long-range three-point shot, the Knicks began to raise the banner of offense, because the Knicks have blossomed more since the beginning of the season, and they do not rely on one or two points to score, which is after Van Horn's return, Changing the way of relying on singles or strong play in the past few games, and focusing more on the overall performance of the team, Kidd saw the Knicks' performance coldly sneak one on the three-point line,

Liang Xiao first made trouble on the scoring guard, the Nets' quarterback is Kitels, this player of the 96 generation, with slender arms, is also a very good guy on offense, from the beginning to the present, there have been a lot of scores, but Liang Xiao is more focused on this guy, and gradually began to reduce his shots, although this 96 generation guy is very good, but now it is slowly going downhill, an average of 13 points per game can not enter the ranks of the ace, Liang Xiao first after a stop-up jump shot in the middle distance, Then another breakthrough dodged in the air under the basket, and the lever hit a layup, Martin's hand almost touched the basket, but Liang Xiao's movements were very freehand, and now his ability is becoming more and more prominent.

Marbury and the madman are not soft, the old horse has more choices to assist, this game met a good opponent, Kidd did not make trouble for the old horse, but if it was put in the past, the old horse and Kidd were more energetic, and now Kidd has more people to help him, and the assist is very handy in the job of point guard, and the madman still has a lot of space under Jefferson's defense, after all, Jefferson is not a guy who is good at defense, and has always been suspected of dunking, Although he can make a great contribution to scoring, the 22-year-old Jefferson is not yet fully grown, which is why the guy who now averages 15.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game can't resist the tear of the veteran.

The game took the lead at the end of the first quarter with the Knicks' offense blossoming, but in the second quarter, Kidd was very devoted, and even chose to go to the basket for layups many times, although Kidd was a little short as a point guard, but the 29-year-old guy has not shown his old age, which is why in his previous life, Kidd would play for the Mavericks, and finally won a championship,

Martin's ability can't be underestimated, this guy is obviously a muscle **, even Thomas can use all kinds of dirty means when rushing to grab rebounds, but as the so-called force drops ten, the power is there, it has to give Thomas a headache, and the Nets' bench is also very hard, Lucio Harris stood up on the bench and also strengthened a lot of firepower for the Nets, before the start of the second half, the Nets actually surpassed the Knicks,

Van Gundy seemed very calm in the Knicks' locker room, but he still commented on the ups and downs of the game in the first half.

"The first half of the game was really-for-tat against Maimang, I didn't expect the Knicks lineup to play a different effect, I think now the Knicks think more relaxed, but the Nets have to work harder in the second half to get a win at home." The host is very optimistic about the performance of the Knicks, as if this game is that the Knicks will win in the end.

"Although the Knicks are doing well, there are still some things that can be better, I think in the second quarter there was no smooth play in the first quarter, I think Van Gundy will notice this, in the second half of the game, if Van Gundy can play against the Nets in the first quarter, the Knicks will have a good chance of getting a win on the road." Director Zhang was talking about the gains and losses of the game next to him,

The fans in front of the TV immediately heard the host of the imperial court TV station analyzing after watching the top ten goals of the week, saying something that was not nutritious, and simply didn't rush to the toilet just now, but fortunately, the game started soon,

"I see that the Knicks' defense has been significantly strengthened in the second half, you see that Martin's layup just now was blocked by the Knicks' inside line, there is no space to the basket, Martin's ability can be shown more when he is under the basket, but if he is too far away from the basket, the shot will come down." After Martin's short-distance shot came out of the frame, Director Zhang immediately analyzed,

"Okay, Marbury broke through, Kidd still stuck very tightly, split the ball, see who is in the bottom corner, Liang Xiao, good opportunity, Kittels pounced, and then divided the ball, the wind shot at a forty-five degree angle, and hit a three-point shot." The host followed the Nix's pass, emotional,

In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks paid more on defense, for the Knicks' interior line, it was mainly to defend Martin, and on the outside was on top of Kidd's bag, although it was not a very wise choice for Kidd's bag, but at this point it was not that the bag was very dead, and the strategy was more, because Liang Xiao and the madman were above the two points, the opponent was not very weak, and the scoring ability was still very prominent. Besides, Marbury's defensive ability is still very strong, and not every ball has to be paid by the whole team.

In the third and fourth quarters of the game, the Knicks' state was very stable, which was rare for the Knicks in previous games, and now it is more delicate and reflected in this.

At the end of the game, the Knicks laughed, although the Continental Airlines Stadium could not bring good luck to the Nets, but it could bring good luck to the Knicks, and finally verified their strength after the return of the whole, and breaking the net is the best proof,
