306 The Knicks' offensive frenzy
The audience erupted in a violent cheer, as if a bomb had just been dropped here. On the bench, everyone also stood up, some applauded, and some waved the white towel in their hands to express their devotion to Zhang Chen's slam dunk.
Zhang Chen fell from the basket, without saying a word, his face was as calm as a lake with waves, and the surging slam dunk just now only turned into a slight hook at the corner of Zhang Chen's mouth.
At 4:3, the Knicks completed the overtake, and the game had just begun, but the Knicks were already galloping across the court like wild horses. In the next ball, the Pacers were afraid to try to provoke the Knicks' defense, and they carefully packed up their basketballs and walked across the half court, and the two teams met each other. The ball is in Ford's hands, and he originally wanted to use his speed to pass Zhang Chen to avenge the arrow just now, but Du Hong did not give him this opportunity, Du Hong's defense is conscientious, although he can't fully control Ford's movements, but it can also make him restrained and difficult to move freely.
Ford began to make a tentative breakthrough, his legs and the basketball alternately forward, and the distance between him and the basket was also shrinking between the rotation of the basket, but when he wanted to go further, he immediately saw Gallinari standing in front of him expressionlessly, and Gallinari's outstretched defensive hands were grinning on his way.
Ford saw that he had no chance, so he had to pass the ball to Glenger again, Gleng was not so lucky this time, Zhang Chen's footsteps locked his movements to death, Grange didn't want to take out his own move to press the bottom of the box at the beginning of the game, so he hoisted the basketball into the inside, and then, David Lee and Randolph, although his defensive skills are not high, but his defensive positive surname is very good, stared intently at the offensive players.
The final destination of the ball was to bounce off the basket, because the trajectory of the ball had violated the best rules for scoring goals, and David Lee smirked as he picked up the rebound that fell into his hand under the basket. And Randolph's sharp eyes have immediately run past half the court, in the previous cooperation, he understands that Zhang Chen is not a person who will declare personal vendettas, as long as he can find an opportunity and let Zhang Chen see it, he will definitely pass the ball immediately.
Zhang Chen received a pass from David Lee, and passed through the half court in an instant, Ford was fast enough, but he still found that Zhang Chen swept past him like the wind, and soon inserted into the opponent's three-point line.
So, Zhang Chen gently pulled up near the free throw line, his body stretched in the sky like a cluster of golden lotus, and the opponents rushed up to block Zhang Chen's shooting route, but Zhang Chen's purpose was not on it, he suddenly curled up at the last moment in the air, and the basketball immediately left the sky and fell into the dust, and under the impetus of Zhang Chen's slender and slender five fingers, he came to the sky above Randolph.
"Suffered!" Several of the Pacers' guys felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to turn around and take care of Randolph's attack. In order to alleviate his preference for Zhang Chen, who knew that this had completely become uncollectible, the basketball was tightly grasped by Randolph's hands in the sky, and then his body rushed to the side of the basket in the slide, and then the dull sound of slam dunk soon resounded in the arena.
"Beautiful!" Teammates rushed up to celebrate, and since Zhang Chen and Randolph already had the precedent of working together before, they now high-fived and celebrated like normal teammates, and then each went back to the half.
The Knicks' offenses were crisp, steady, accurate, and ruthless, which was tantamount to a slap in the face after the opening, and the Pacers quickly began to dig a big hole for themselves in this series of attacks.
The next ball, the Pacers finally shot a mid-range shot, and then Du Hong served on the bottom line, and the basketball came to Zhang Chen's hands, Zhang Chen's speed was still as cold as a knife, and in a short moment, his body had cut into the opponent's inner line like lightning cutting through the night, and the inner line of the Pacers was in an instant, just in the decomposition of Zhang Chen's scalpel, the agitation fell apart. With this endless momentum, Zhang Chen went all the way to the bottom line of the forbidden area, came to a place not far from the basket, faced the camera that blinked at Zhang Chen like curious eyes, glided a short distance in the sky, and successfully hit a layup with a low hand.
"White team's number six goal is valid, two points!" The referee blew the whistle and raised his hand, and the Knicks' lead began to slowly widen.
In the entire first quarter of the following period, the Knicks' offense found a little bit of its own feeling in offensive tactical simulation training, Du Hong also came to a three-point line cooperation with Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen came to cooperate with David Lee and Gallinari. The Knicks' cooperation gradually rolled up an overwhelming web, gradually eroding and melting the Pacers' scores, slowly making them into holes.
By the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were already leading by seven points, a score that made people feel excited, and the Knicks' players had a kind of joy written on their faces.
In this quarter of the game, the Knicks' main gain was not their score, but the joy of tasting that hearty and fast offense. In the first quarter of the game, Zhang Chen scored a total of 11 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound, as efficient as ever. In this quarter, it was surprising that there was a connection between the players and the players, and the team achieved a total of 5 assists throughout the first quarter, which is a reflection of the Knicks' human cooperation.
The audience saw what they wanted to see - the Knicks were getting better and better in their direction. Throughout the first quarter, their coordination wreaked havoc on the opponent's basket many times, their dunk made the opponent's basket shake, and their shooting made their basket bow down.
Beautiful goals are constantly replayed on the big screen in the stadium again and again, and now D'Antoni is excitedly standing in the middle of the players to point out, when the Knicks just played that wave of momentum of attack, D'Antoni also seems to have returned to the era when the Suns scolded Fang Xuan, when they razed the opponent's defense to the ground with extremely brilliant and gorgeous fast breaks.
Thinking of this, D'Antoni couldn't help but encourage with joy: "Well done! Pretty good...... I've seen the prototype of a team that can play both offensively and defensively, and find rhythm on both the offensive and defensive ends! Yes, we have to rely on this style to go all the way, and I also believe that we can fight a brilliant tomorrow and a bright dawn under the guidance of this style! D'Antoni turned into a crappy wet man at the end of his encouragement, and came up with two rebellishments.
And then it was the real tactical arrangement: "In the next game, we will definitely be counterattacked by the opponent, in order not to let the fruits of our victory fall into their pockets, our arrangement is as follows - after the main lineup is on the court, Zhang Chen, you don't have to pay attention to the assist for the time being, Chris will have to take on the responsibility of assisting his teammates, of course, Zach on the inside, I see that you can occasionally pass a few good balls...... You can also be responsible for passing, and Zhang Chen, your next goal is to score...... In the second half of the second quarter, a desperate scoring effort to stabilize our advantage, Chris, you have to make sure to pass the ball to Tatsumi when he runs out of space. In the second half of the second quarter, the rebounds on the inside also need the guarantee of David and Zach, and after they have their rebounding guarantees, Chen, you can make bold shots, whether it is a two-point shot or a three-point shot, as long as you are sure to shoot, you can shoot. As for the interior offense, it's mainly handed over to Zack, and you have to be responsible for the control of the rebounds and the secondary offense, controlling our interior lifeline......"
D'Antoni's tactics were explained one by one, Zhang Chen was given unlimited firing rights, Randolph had nothing to be jealous and dissatisfied with, Zhang Chen's invincibility these days, and the scoring's probing for the score had already left an imprint in his mind. He understood that if Zhang Chen fully unleashed his attack power, it would definitely reach an extremely terrifying level, so Randolph didn't have much objection to this decision.
The second quarter of the game officially began, on the field is the substitute lineup of both sides, although the tactical quality and individual combat ability of the substitute lineup is worse than the main lineup, but under the dedication of D'Antoni to adjust, these substitute lineups have also initially formed combat effectiveness, in short, when on the court, the main lineup will not be too worried. The Knicks' bench lineup adheres to the style of their main lineup, and when they attack, they are also as fast as a wind, often just a gust of wind, and they have completed an offense, and they are also both offensive and defensive, and they can also actively mobilize their defensive energy when defending.
Under the obstruction of the Knicks' bench lineup, after the start of the second quarter, the Pacers' desire to recover the score was quickly broken into the deep sea by the Knicks' players. The head coach of the Pacers hurriedly replaced several main players and photographed Granger to blow up Wilson? Chandler went.
After the main force of the Pacers came on the court, they finally achieved a certain offensive advantage, and under their offensive interference, the Knicks' defense was cut through huge holes, and when these holes spread, Grant was able to quickly jump into the interior or jump directly on the outside. Under Grange's starring, the situation was finally reversed, and the team's momentum was snatched out of the Knicks by the Pacers.
D'Antoni finally replaced his main force, and at the last moment of letting the main players play, D'Antoni patted Zhang Chen's shoulder and once again solemnly explained to Zhang Chen, letting him have unlimited firing rights and increase the offensive efficiency of the Knicks as much as possible.
Then, the main lineups of both sides once again pointed to each other on the court, and with the final six minutes left before the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 34:32, and the Knicks only led by two points, and their lead had been eroded a lot. It's just that seeing the Knicks' main lineup on the court, several guys from the Pacers still can't help but tense their thigh muscles, ready to fight to the death.
The ball of the first ball was in the hands of Zhang Chen, and sure enough, as D'Antoni imagined, after the Knicks' main lineup came on the court, the Pacers' defense began to shrink in a tactical way, as if adding a heavy ghost shell before his own interior line. And their main purpose is also to prevent the Knicks' sudden and fast offense, cutting off the Knicks' player-to-player defense. Under the command of this defensive guiding ideology, they did not interfere much with Zhang Chen's possession, only Grange slowly approached.
Zhang Chen used his tried and tested but quite effective way to shake people, the basketball slapped forward between his right hand, and then Zhang Chen's body rushed out, and it was about to pierce the ghost shell of the walkers, stirring up a bloody storm inside them, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The guys of the Pacers have no doubt that Zhang Chen has the ability to turn over the sea on their inside, so they defend the interior more closely and can't let this destructive person break into the inside. Even Grange thought so, he wanted the Pacers' inside line to be like a virgin shyly clamping her thighs, and not allowing Zhang Chen to puncture that obstacle.
However, Zhang Chen didn't have their interior defense at all, his ability to adapt to the situation was quite strong, and he suddenly retracted his body and basketball and withdrew from the three-point line in front of the Pacers' array of interior ghost shell defenses arranged against him. Still a step-back jumper, the basketball carried D'Antoni's expectations and the resistance to pierce the air, and finally lowered his eyebrows in gravity, slammed through the Nets and smashed onto the hard floor.
At 37:32, the Knicks immediately led by five points, and the three-point shot is always the heaviest blow to the opponent.
Zhang Chen's face was still as calm as ever, and it had been hidden a second before the domineering appearance was revealed, and a quiet face did seem to have an inexplicable murderous aura at this moment. At this moment, Grange, who was much older than Zhang Chen, could only wake up when he saw Zhang Chen's face revealing his identity as a twenty-year-old young man - this guy who looked calm as if he had been in the alliance all his life, but he was still just a twenty-year-old hairy young man.
"This person is dangerous...... "Grant made a definition for Zhang Chen in his mind, and then began to attack.
The Pacers' offense was able to sink a few times under the Knicks' defense, but for the most part, their offense was still smooth. The ball fell effortlessly into the basket in the afterglow of their frenzied morale rush some time ago, making the score 37-34. Zhang Chen controlled the ball again, and the Pacers didn't pay much attention to Zhang Chen's offense just now, they were still shrinking the defense while paying attention to cutting off the Knicks' passing lane. It's a pity that Zhang Chen didn't plan to pass the ball at all, when he came to the three-point line, Gallinari's broad figure suddenly came to Zhang Chen's side, Zhang Chen's basketball and body seemed to be connected, and he came behind Gallinari at high speed, which quickly caused Granger to wait for an opportunity, and he also followed Zhang Chen's direction and moved a few steps in front of Gallinari's body, wanting to re-enter his defensive range behind Zhang Chen's back.
However, Zhang Chen seemed to have already guessed his thoughts, and when he dribbled to Gallinari's right hand, he did not continue to move towards Gallinari's right hand, but let his body suddenly change a direction with the help of his body control, and returned to the place he had just moved in a lateral movement.
Zhang Chen moved to Gallinari's left hand side and came back again, by this time Grange's body had already repented and ran to the other direction of the basket, and Zhang Chen's front lost the obstacle.
Jumping high, Zhang Chen's front was already flat, the basketball flew in his hand, and he had a cordial friction with the Nets again, and Zhang Chen's score also rose to 17 points. It's always easy for his score to rise, and often in the split second that his opponent doesn't have time to notice, his score is already on the wind.
Score: 40:34, the Pacers trailed by six points.
The Pacers started attacking again, and their offense was steady, finally blasting a hole in the Knicks' lineup, and then the army swept up and scored two points. The ball returned to the hands of the Knicks, and to the pain of the Pacers, Zhang Chen once again possessed the ball over half court.
Now the score is 40:36, Zhang Chen's two three-pointers have given the Knicks a two-point extra lead, although the Pacers said that the defensive policy should be mainly focused on the interior shrink defense and cut off the opponent's passing route, but it is difficult for them to resist Zhang Chen's series of three-pointers one after another.
As a result, the Pacers' defense finally loosened a little, and their ghost shell was shattered into pieces, just breaking the thread, and they were ready to use a 3-2 joint defense to kill Zhang Chen on the outside.
However, Zhang Chen is always so elusive, his body charged in the outside line, and immediately came to the three-point line, Grant quickly rushed up to block Zhang Chen, he had given up his back road, and went directly to Zhang Chen's outside three-point line, no matter what, they couldn't let Zhang Chen hit the three-point shot again.
Zhang Chen didn't shoot another three points, but used his shoulder to forcibly push away Grange, Grange was pushed up to the chest pain, so he had to lower his eyebrows and get out of the way, letting Zhang Chen tear a bloody path and kill the inside line.
"Zhang Chen is in again......" The inside players complained bitterly, but it was their fate to block him desperately in this situation, so they pounced on Zhang Chen.
At this moment, Zhang Chen let his body air and bloom before the opponent pounced, and then the basketball shot, and after the backward jumper, the basketball penetrated the net again.
