The Bucks came to New York shortly after their leader Reed sent his own provocative message, and for them, New York is also a city full of temptation, and many players need to find some motivation and relaxation here.

This game is an offensive battle for the Knicks to regain their top five spots, and they also need to do a little bit of testing their defensive tactics in this battle to see if it can fit the survival of the current Knicks team.

That night, Zhang Chen, who had been rumored a lot recently and was shot a lot inexplicably, immediately ushered in earth-shattering cheers after trotting all the way to the middle of the court. Zhang Chen's position in this city has basically been completely established, many people have put his party as the savior of the Knicks, after the Knicks have spent so many gloomy seasons in the past, the Knicks finally ushered in a season with a good record, and fans also feel more energetic when they watch the Knicks' games.

Therefore, the Knicks' attendance is getting better and better, the fans' satisfaction with the Knicks is also increasing, and Zhang Chen's jersey sales have further increased.

Zhang Chen ranks first with a high score of 38.9 on the current scoring list, and Wade, who is in second place, has a score of 30.5. On the scoring weapon rankings, Zhang Chen's name of the Star Sword is still terrifying.

After entering December, Zhang Chen and they are going to usher in a few quite eye-catching games, first of all, the game between the Heat team and the Cavaliers, although now O'Neal has left the Heat team to join James to form the Tsar combination, the strength of the Heat team has also plummeted, but after all, the contradiction between Zhang Chen and Wade, the star of the Heat team, is also a major selling point of this game. Soon after the Knicks challenged the Heat away, they had to challenge the Cavaliers, and this is not the end, in fact, the Cavaliers are followed by the Lakers, the Knicks and these three teams are looking forward to everyone's game, Zhang Chen and James and Wade The conflict is public, and the contradiction between him and Kobe Bryant is hidden in the calm and turbulent undercurrent, for these games, everyone has invested great attention and expectation.

Today's game is a game for the Knicks to regain their top five spots, although the opponent is a bit of a name, but the Knicks fans still sat in the arena early to cheer for the players who could see the warm-up, and the shouts soon echoed slowly in the middle of the arena.

Before the Knicks players started to play, D'Antoni pulled everyone to bite the ear for a while: "Today's game is only allowed to win and not lose, we can't give up this top five seat, otherwise it will be very bad for us!" In the next tactical exercises, I have only one requirement, that is, whether it is offense or defense, we need to be organized, we need to put the position of our teammates in our own eyes, and we must not forget our tactics in the specific defense and offensive implementation...... Okay, that's all for me, let's play......"

In fact, halfway through his sentence, the players were already halfway gone, and many people were unhappy with D'Antoni's verbosity.

Before the start of this game, some Bucks fans also clamored to teach this year's scoring champion a lesson, so that they understand that they Milwaukee are definitely not easy to mess with, so they also enthusiastically estimated the content of this game - can you imagine that it must be Michael? Reed and Zhang Chen's battle is going to be a pretty eye-catching and beautiful game anyway.

The Bucks' defense is like that, whether it's Reed or a few other guys, their defensive aggressiveness is average, their defensive ability is even more average, and when facing opponents' attacks, they tend to be freewheeling. However, they are not ambiguous when it comes to offense, and offense is the life of the Bucks, so they pay attention to a variety of scoring methods. Since the beginning of this season, everyone thought that D'Antoni would move the ball to the Knicks in the other direction of the continental United States, but this is not the case, this season's Knicks have shown good defensive awareness and defensive positivity. Lee formed the two lines of defense of the Knicks, and with the improving defensive aggressiveness and skills of Randolph and Gallinari, the Knicks' defensive ability this season should definitely not be underestimated.

But the Knicks also like to attack, which is why Bucks fans think this game will be good, and they also believe that the Bucks will play at least one inseparable ** with the help of crazy offense.

However, the truth was far beyond their expectations, after the game just started, they originally thought that at the beginning of the game, Reed would definitely choose to use his offensive efficiency to provoke Zhang Chen, but what surprised them was that Reid did not show his high scoring efficiency at all, on the contrary, he basically didn't make much shots after he missed a shot in the opening game.

"What's going on?" Watching the game evolve, not only Bucks fans, but even some Knicks fans and players felt an indescribable strangeness.

Because after the start of the game, the opponent's star Michael? Reed was a little faltering, the Bucks' first ball was in his hands, and the basketball came to Reed's hands after being passed by the point guard, and he began to rely on Zhang Chen to break through the interior.

Zhang Chen still has some confidence in defending a star like Reed, but at this time he was troubled by the Bucks' blocking and dismantling tactics, so he had to take a step back and be passed by Reed, but although Reed escaped from Zhang Chen's defense, he suddenly saw a larger batch of defense on the inside.

The Knicks immediately began to change their moves the moment Reed entered the interior line, and their interior line joined Gallinari with a dynamism, which quickly turned into a defensive network, and Reed plunged headlong into this network, so his layup finally dodged David? Lee's defense, but it turned out to crash into the hands of the eye defender Randolph, who waved his big hand, so the basketball was directly slapped by him.

Then the Knicks quickly launched a counterattack, the basketball danced in their hands, Zhang Chen, David Lee and Gallinari directly came out in three lines, several people together in a triangle of three tips, the wind swept across the half court, and directly interspersed within the opponent's three-point line, and then a final by David? Lee's layup.

The counterattack was crisp and clean, and you can really see the Knicks' methodical offensive ability now, and they are often able to take all sorts of opportunities to cause problems for opponents, and in this offense, they use passes to tear apart the Bucks' defensive setup. This kind of inspirational offense is occasionally reminiscent of the Suns in the past, who are as fast as a whirlwind, and the start and end of the offense is often in an instant.

Reed was rewarded with a big hat, and it was rewarded to him by the eye defender Randolph, which made him quite unhappy, and he also spoke wildly before the game started, and now he can't take it back, for his own dignity, he started his charge again, he was ready to hit the free throw line with a pull-up jump shot to solve the offense, who knew that after missing his teammates' blocking, his offense was full of holes, and Zhang Chen only relied on his pair of legs to prevent him from leaking.

"How did this kid's defense become so good?" Reed was quick to ask himself a question that many others had asked since the start of the season, and when he played Zhang Chen last season, Zhang Chen was just a player with a little bit of speed, accurate shooting, and erratic movement. Now his defense is so strong that even if he wants to collide with his body, he can't break through Zhang Chen's defense.

This made Reed feel a little uneasy, but in order to be responsible for his wild words, he still used his skills to press the bottom of the box, and finally shook off Zhang Chen and came to the free throw line after a few high-speed changes, who knew that Zhang Chen's speed that made people feel quite difficult to catch up again, although Zhang Chen was too late to block his shot, but Zhang Chen's right hand that suddenly stretched out made Reed almost fall from the air.

The ball also flew out of the basket without any suspense, and Reed's second effort was wiped out in Zhang Chen's defense. Instead, Zhang Chen and the opponents came to a cooperation, and after receiving Randolph's pass, he hit a jumper outside the three-point line, so Reed said that he wanted to suppress Zhang Chen's big lie and was slapped by Zhang Chen. And Zhang Chen has not yet half the joy of the winner, on the contrary, his face has always been expressionless, and his defense has not been loose at all, so Reed has to speculate on Zhang Chen's intentions while trying to attack, which makes him tired and difficult to act.

Reed was suppressed, and the point guard was gradually suppressed in the combination of Zhang Chen and Du Hong, which made the Bucks feel very uneasy - their offensive initiator and offensive finisher were all suppressed by the Knicks, so that their offense became quite difficult, and every breakthrough that tentatively named the breakthrough often portended a shameful failure.

The current power forward of the Bucks is another opponent and breaks into the interior with a basketball with a three-step basket, ready to come to a powerful slam dunk, but what he didn't expect is that David Lee's defense is quite fast, which makes his wishful thinking completely fail, in order not to make a mistake, he passed the basketball to the center next to him at the last moment when he was still able to fly in the air, and the opponent's center and Randolph who was misplaced immediately started a competition.

He has also experienced the ability of Randolph's eye defender, so his attack is also relatively loose, who knows that at this time, Randolph accidentally used a little bit of their defensive training results in the past few days, and reflexively used the basic steps and basic defensive movements taught to him by Zhang Chen, and the opponent's center sharpness felt the pressure.

"Bang bang bang!" The basketball hit the ground again and again, and the opponent's center saw that the offensive time was about to come, and he couldn't allow himself to hesitate any longer, so he immediately turned around and made a layup, his angle was a bit of a moon in the water, his head was thrown back, and the basketball was thrown out in the direction behind him.

"Smack!" Randolph's defense bought time for David Lee's vacancy, after the Bucks' center layup, David Lee quickly rose into the air to intercept the ball just now, the basketball was photographed by David Lee, flicked on the ground, asked Randolph to take it in his hand, and then quickly passed to Du Hong, Du Hong passed to Zhang Chen, and the two of them floated directly across the opponent's half court in a two-line offensive way.

In the defense of the Bucks, Zhang Chen picked up the basketball near the free throw line, and after two steps, he threw the basketball behind him, and suddenly Du Hong, a 1.85 meter, reluctantly had an aerial relay with Zhang Chen.

"Bang!" The sound of a slam dunk echoed in the arena, and everyone seemed to be able to see the trembling of the basket.

"Chen's passing, and the tacit understanding with Chris have been much better!" Randolph clasped his hands to his chest, and the ball just now gave him a small shock.

Zhang Chen and Du Hong high-fived and ran back to the halfcourt, and the two of them came to a tacit and amazing cooperation in the handling of the ball, which made Zhang Chen feel a sense of accomplishment, and he felt that his passing ability seemed to be getting more and more beautiful. Although there is no formal study space for study, but in the femdom of Steve? In Nash's hands of D'Antoni, Zhang Chen's passing skills are indeed incredible.

After the cooperation of Zhang Chen and Du Hong, there are still two minutes left before the end of the first quarter, but the Knicks have led by eight points, which makes Bucks fans feel disheartened, and the most annoying thing is that Reed, who made a big statement before the game that he wanted to limit Zhang Chen, has only scored 3 points so far in this game, which makes fans who like him embarrassed? And he said that he wanted to suppress it, but Zhang Chen, who was opposite him in this game, had already scored 9 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound, which made Reed's fans and Bucks fans feel that their crotch was cold - egg pain.

Reed received a pass from beyond the three-point line, and then he began to face Zhang Chen's defense, he used a crotch dribble, and then a sudden acceleration to completely shake Zhang Chen away. His grasp of the rhythm of this ball is quite in place, after all, although Zhang Chen's defense made him very aggrieved, but after such a long time of tempering the game, he also found some flaws in Zhang Chen's defense - too fast caused by inadequate movements, too fast when defending, sometimes staggered defensive timing, etc.

Reed used the shortcomings he found in Zhang Chen's defense to deceive Zhang Chen's defensive pressure with a step, giving him a temporary respite, and at the same time he let the basketball run in his left hand, which made his ball control more confusing. Zhang Chen was really deceived by his defensive move, he thought that Reed was going to his left, who knew that he used the change of direction after the step to deceive himself.

It's just that Reed didn't rejoice too early, and Du Hong appeared immediately in front of him, and Du Hong's defense was not completely about guarding against his attack, but more like a kind of delay. Sure enough, Zhang Chen's speed quickly caught up again, and Reed had no choice but to pass the basketball to the point guard, hoping to catch Du Hong off guard, but Du Hong was not in a hurry at all, because his defense of Reed also did not let go of the marking of his opponent player, just like that, the Bucks' offense could only be rushed in the end and died in sorrow.

“**！ This defense is too bummer! Reed cursed hatefully, just now he thought he would be able to enter the interior again, who knew that the Knicks' defense had changed again, Zhang Chen and Du Hong's joint defense made the outside line a little impermeable, especially Zhang Chen's weird speed supported him to defend a lot with ease, so that the outside players need to bear more offensive pressure.

The Knicks grabbed the rebound after the Bucks missed the shot, and the basketball later passed to Zhang Chen's hands, Zhang Chen quickly controlled the ball across the half court, and his speed made the Bucks players begin to lament in their hearts - this birdman is here again!

In order to prevent the Knicks from having another fast break, the Bucks immediately organized their defense, placing two defenders outside the three-point line, and their small forward also returned to the interior to defend Zhang Chen. The two lines of defense were built in an instant, just to prevent Zhang Chen from easily breaking into their inner line.

Zhang Chen came to the Bucks' three-point line, the basketball flew around his body, and then he directly used two consecutive body front changes, and finally connected to a crotch dribble, which suddenly made the opponent's outside defense fall apart, Zhang Chen quickly increased his speed to the peak state, his body and the basketball controlled by his right hand just hijacked the wind and whistled inside.

"It's broken through again!" Reed, who was involved in the outside defense, roared in annoyance, but it was completely useless for Zhang Chen's breakthrough, who was often able to ignore the opponent's defenders and cut straight inside when they didn't have time to react.

Zhang Chen's speed was fast, and soon came to the free throw line, the small forward of the Bucks did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly defended, the first line of defense of the Bucks team has been broken by Zhang Chen, they want to hold Zhang Chen in the second line of defense, at least after the return of the large army.

When Zhang Chen was facing the small forward of the Bucks, his body suddenly came to a strange stop, this emergency stop filled his body with a feeling of a silver bottle bursting with water, and then, the basketball was under the control of his hands like iron tongs, and suddenly came directly to the right hand, and then he quickly put away the basketball, his body took his left foot as the axis, and directly rotated one hundred and eighty degrees along the opponent's small forward, and then his body rose into the air and completed another one hundred and eighty degrees of rotation in the sky. The basketball flew into the hoop with the light push of his right hand.

The score was pulled away by two more points.
