Chapter 385: Attack on the Knicks (2nd Update)

Rashad Lewis quickly fed the ball to Nelson, who immediately ran forward with the ball. However, since it was the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks had already fallen into position, so no matter how fast he was, he inevitably encountered defense.

The Knicks' current formation is a joint defense, but Nelson is pressed by a single defense.

It has been proven countless times that Nelson is completely powerless against a sloppy defense.

This time, of course, is not an exception.

He was completely blocked outside the three-point line, unable to get rid of the defense, he seemed to be stuck in a swamp outside the three-point line, unable to break free at all.

As he fell into the defensive swamp, the Magic's original fast attack was quickly choked and extinguished.

And Dwight Howard also had to come out to answer, and under his blocking, Nelson finally struggled to defend.

As soon as he broke free from the sluggish defense, he threw the basketball like a hot potato to Rashad Lewis at the bottom corner of the three-point line...... He was anxious to get rid of the ball and wanted to assist, but he forgot about the taboo of passing, and there were too many things that would happen in the middle of such a wide open and closed long-distance pass.

Like what... Syllable!

The basketball was effortlessly severed by Garinani's long arm, and then he quickly passed to Xiao Shao, who ran over to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, he did not increase his tempo and play like in the first quarter, but lowered his pace and moved forward slowly.

Xiao is not a slow old man, but he has to accommodate the two big tons in the team, and he has to get them back to half-court before launching a fast attack.

Xiao Swan is not in a hurry at all. Compared to fast break. He prefers this kind of slow-paced half-court attack...... Because it's obviously more technical.

Running and fast attack is a bit like fast food for Xiao Spo. It's just cool for a while. The half-court offense is the real delicacy, and although it takes some time, the technique and connotation in it make Xiao Xiao addicted to all kinds of things.

Watching Xiao Shao move slowly on the court, D'Antoni on the sidelines slapped his thighs again.

The last time he slapped his thigh was because Xiao Sa showed what he expected, and this time he slapped his thigh because he felt that Xiao Sa was too violent, obviously a perfect run-and-shoot point guard, but he wanted to play a half-court offense, which was too wasteful. It's like you can eat with your face. But it depends on talent!

Xiao Shao is certainly not satisfied with being an idol who eats with his face.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Nelson did not return the favor to the other side to press the defense, because he deeply knew that his defense would not play a role in the slightest against the Xiao, and it was better not to humiliate himself. He was ready to be passed away...... Anyway, it's good if he's happy, at most he won't resist! If you don't resist, you won't be teased!

Nelson knew very clearly, of course, he was not so sober at the beginning, and he only suddenly realized it after being deceived and learned a lesson.

A dashing dragon tail swing crossover turned him to the bottom, and then an acceleration flew into the three-point line.

Dashing into the three-point line, the Magic's defense immediately shrank, including Dwight Howard, who also subconsciously expanded out of the restricted area. for fear that Xiao Sao would run in and make trouble.

But Xiao Shi didn't do this, he just struck the west. A clever angle of the basketball was passed directly into the penalty area...... That is, behind Dwight Howard.

And this ingenious angle is Dwight Howard's crotch, Dwight Howard only felt that Xiao's arm suddenly shook in the opposite direction, originally he thought that Xiaoxiao was going to break through the bag, but he found that the cool breeze under his crotch passed. Then he looked back and saw that Eddie Curry had already received the basketball, he hurried to block it, but Eddie Curry rubbed against him like a lyptic worm, and then the whistle blew, but the fat man's basketball hit the board and entered the basket...... Swish! It's a very easy and comfortable two points.

Not surprisingly, the Madison Gardens erupted in cheers...... The voice and lung capacity of Knicks fans have made T-NT's host praise at least ten times. He even teased: Knicks fans should be rock lovers, their voices are full of endless energy, Madison Garden Arena should no longer be called basketball Mecca in the future, but should be called rock Mecca!

In the monstrous cheers of the audience, Eddie Curry proudly raised his eyebrows at Dwight Howard and proudly walked to the free throw line.

It was Dwight Howard's second foul of the game.

At this time, he already faintly felt a trace of something bad in his heart, he knew too well that he was chic. Xiao Sa has always been a guy who takes advantage of your illness to kill you, and since Sage has tasted the sweetness from this attack, he will definitely continue to launch onslaught on the inside line in the future.

At this thought, Dwight Howard couldn't help but glance at Stan Van Gundy. At this time, he really wanted Gortat to come up, and with Gortat's partner, he would feel that the inside line was solid.

However, Stan Van Gundy rejected his offer because Stan Van Gundy felt that the lineup was more conducive to offense at this point, and he felt the need to destroy the hard-won chemistry. And the Knicks' two big men will soon become a burden on their defensive end, and they will certainly not be able to keep up with the pace of running and shooting, and then drag can also drag him down.

Stan Van Gundy's idea is not wrong, and theoretically it works.

Swish!

Eddie Curry hit the free throw and completed the two-and-one.

After Eddie Curry scored, Xiao Dash hurriedly told him to retreat. And he himself stayed in the half, and the basketball was quickly sent to Nelson.

Nelson immediately ran wildly with the ball, but the moment he started to get up, Xiao Jie clinged to it, and his speed was suppressed in an instant.

Nelson wanted to pass the ball at this time, but his long arms made him afraid to take the risk, so he could only reduce his speed and move forward steadily.

When the person with the ball slows down, the other Magic players don't have a role to play even if they run faster than the Rockets. Because it's not a track and field competition!

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines looked at this scene and couldn't help clapping his palms and scolding his mother on the sidelines!

It was just too bad for him, too bad to bear. Because. His entire offensive plan was completely ruined.

Originally, he also wanted to use the fast break to drag down the Knicks' two interior lines. As a result, the Knicks' two interior players felt that the restricted area was in a good defensive position. And his point guard is still struggling near the midfield, unable to get rid of the kraft-like defense.

"Pick-and-roll! Blocking!! Stan Van Gundy shouted anxiously: "The next ball is blocked for him from the start, and the other players are ready to catch the ball at any time!" ”

Stan Van Gundy can only come up with this solution at this moment, he doesn't believe that Xiao Xiao can block the tandem of two or even three people at the same time!

Prompted by Stan Van Gundy's big win, Rashad Lewis ran over to provide Nelson with a pick-and-roll screen, and Nelson used the cover to loosen up a little bit before quickly throwing the ball to Turkoglou.

Turkoglou faced Harrington's defense and cut inside quickly. But he didn't quickly find an absolute vacancy, and he completely got rid of the defense. He could only make an emergency stop and shoot the basketball out with a Nowitzki-like leaning rooster free-standing stance.

Turkoglu scored a similar goal in the first quarter.

However, this time, luck was not on his side, or the change in the pace of the game also disrupted his shooting rhythm!

Bang!

The basketball hits the front of the basket.

Dwight Howard saw that the basketball was playing iron and hurried to fight for it. But he squeezed hard, but he took a step back on his own, and he couldn't squeeze out the space at all, let alone jump.

Thereupon. He could only watch as a big fat man pressed against him, and another big fat man tiptoed off the rebound.

Dwight Howard is most afraid of this kind of super-large player in his life. It's like when he plays with Yao Ming, almost every time he is beaten. So, there is a saying that Dwight Howard ruled the center of the league, but Yao Ming ruled Dwight Howard.

Although the Knicks do not have Yao Ming, the combined tonnage of Jerome James and Eddie Curry is beyond Yao Ming's beating.

Dwight Howard was in pain, and he again gave Stan Van Gundy a hint.

But Stan Van Gundy remained indifferent, and he still believed in his run-and-gun lineup.

At this time, Xiao Sao had already moved forward slowly with the ball.

Xiao Sao went all the way unimpeded, and no one stepped forward at all, because no one wanted to bring humiliation on himself.

By the time Xiao came to the three-point line, all his teammates were already in position, just waiting for his pass.

Seeing this, Xiao Sang immediately accelerated and passed Nelson very simply, and then quickly cut straight into the penalty area. Dwight Howard rushed over to make up for it, but Xiao Dash stopped in front of him suddenly, and then handed the basketball from his sideside to Eddie Curry with a fake pass.

After receiving the ball, Eddie Curry did not shoot quickly, but forced a very advantageous position.

Dwight Howard is a natural defender...... The so-called natural defender is that he can't rub half a grain of sand in his eyes, and he will never allow anyone to go wild in the forbidden area in front of him.

So, he hurriedly made up for it.

Eddie Curry made a realistic feint to deceive him from the center of gravity.

Then Eddie Curry rubbed on him nimbly again...... Drip! The referee's whistle was more timely and punctual than the news broadcast.

Bang!

The basketball deftly falls into the hoop again!

The scene was boiling again.

Eddie Curry raised an eyebrow at Howard again, and then walked to the free throw line again!

Swish!

Eddie Curry hit a free throw to make another two-and-one.

At this time, Dwight Howard looked at Stan Van Gundy with some grief.

The grievances soon brought him off the pitch, and Stan Van Gundy replaced him with Howard's long-cherished Gortat.

Stan Van Gundy still couldn't bear to give up his run, so he replaced Dwight Howard, who had already committed three fouls, with Gortat...... He doesn't want his main center ace core to get into foul trouble early.

After the substitution adjustment is completed, after the re-serve.

The Magic team really used the three-person tandem progressive method, and Xiao Xiao didn't care about this method at all. Because 80% of the focus of this thing is on the point guard, if you need a tandem of three people to get through the half court quickly, then... In fact, it's no longer called running and booming. Because the most important timeliness has been lost...... There are no attackers on standby in the front court!

Really. The Magic quickly took the ball through the half. But they didn't find the offensive space quickly, and although they wanted to speed up, it took ten seconds to throw the basketball out...... Swish!

Although the basketball went in, Xiao Dash was still full of joy. This qiē is still in the form of his plan.

Back in the half, Xiao Xiao very easily used a ground-hitting pass to send Harrington into the box and scored an easy layup.

Although Gortat is taller than Howard, his defensive ability is not a level lower, and his athleticism is no match for Howard, and his speed is only slightly faster than Eddie Curry's Jerome James.

The Magic's rapid offense is tantamount to being completely scrapped by the scarf. But they still stuck to fast breaking.

When a team that doesn't have the soil for a fast break still stubbornly executes the fast break, then there is only one result left...... Watch the sky and eat!

God tonight is not bad against the Magic, their shooting percentage is okay, it's not ugly.

But compared to the Knicks, there is still some distance.

Under the chic and calm string, the Knicks' offense is very, very stable, and the shooting percentage is frighteningly high.

And, in the last two minutes of the second quarter, Xiao Sao decisively changed to a run-and-gun lineup. At this time, the players of the Magic team were already a little tired, after all, they had already run wild for half the game. However, the Knicks' run-and-gun players are good at work and leisure.

So. As soon as they came on the field, they descended like tigers, and like hungry wolves. Under the dashing thread of the needle. Harvest points quickly!

Although, the Magic quickly used Dwight Howard, but the trend is gone!

Originally, the Magic were only seven points behind the Knicks. But with the last two minutes of running and bombardment, the Knicks directly took a 19-point lead.

In response, Stan Van Gundy just looked up to the sky and sighed.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen into the trap of sloppiness from the beginning of the second quarter of the game. Xiao Xiao deliberately used two big men to confuse himself, and he deliberately created an illusion that as long as the Magic team continued to run and bomb, he could drag down the Knicks, because the Knicks were on the inside line of two big fat men at the same time. In fact, he found a way to delay the Magic's fast break. In this case, the two sides ran and bombed the players' bodies, and in the last two minutes, they directly used killer moves to easily cut down the tired players of the Magic team!

Insidious! Despicable! Shameless!!

Stan Van Gundy could think of all the dark words he applied to Chick.

And Xiao Shi always smiled and groaned.

Amid the cheers of the fans, he strode into the players' tunnel like a king.

At this time, the number of assists has come to an astonishing 19, which means that he has 11 assists in a single quarter!!

There is no doubt that this is a number that has gone against the sky to the extreme, and the efficiency is even more outrageous.

"We still underestimated Chick's passing ability, and in the first quarter we said he played like Stephen Nash. But in the second quarter, if you take a closer look, is there a slight difference between his play and Jason Kidd? It's completely a copy of Jason Kidd, methodically connecting the team and quietly killing the opponent in the half-court attack! It's very Kidd! The host of T-NT said in horror.

"It's a lot like Jason Kidd's style, but it's so weird. His back-to-back jumper is almost identical to that of Michael Jordan, but at the same time maintains his own style. His breakthrough is very similar to Stephen Marbury, Alan Iverson, Tim Hardaway and Stephen Nash, each style has a little bit, but the personal style is extremely strong. I feel like Xiao is a piece of the sea, he can easily absorb the good of any superstar, and then turn it into his own and brand it as his own. Charles Barkley said seriously: "He's got a whopping 19 assists now, which is at least five records as far as I know, but it's only half time, so I'm looking forward to his full game." ”

"When you look at Xiao Sa's assists, don't you notice that Xiao Sa's score is only 5 points so far? It also included three free throws, which meant he didn't score any more than the opening dunk. Kenny Smith said that if he had been in the live broadcast room, he would have fired a gun, but this was the scene, so he said it very vaguely.

"I think that's what Chi is capable of, when he wants to score, no one can stop him. When someone questioned that the Knicks couldn't connect the offense without a point guard, he could deliberately give the doubter a resounding slap in the face with assists! Great players have such great personalities and he certainly accomplished another great thing tonight. T-NT's host said.

"No, we're only halfway there." Charles Barkley said in a low-key way: "We still have to have a little bit of confidence in the Magic, even though they are already 19 points behind. But they were so arrogant and arrogant before the game, there must be something killer, maybe they put Spider-Man and Iron Man Superman's suit in their locker room! ”

Charles Barkley made a serious joke about the Magic team, causing the host next to him to laugh out loud, and the fans on the side also leaned forward and back, and there was also laughter in front of the TV.

And the reason they laugh is... The Magic team was so arrogant before the game, like a tiger, but when it came to the game, they became weak and pitiful kittens. The contrast is so great that it really makes people wonder where their previous self-confidence came out of thin air, maybe it really may be because they have Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Superman's suits.

……

The second more is delivered.
