A team like the Magic is too difficult to play, balanced inside and outside, Howard can turn over the river in the restricted area alone, and expect his team's three inside lines to defend against Warcraft, which is a bit unreliable, why don't you think about how many of them can hold out until the end of the game in front of Warcraft?

Before the game, the mustache repeatedly emphasized that he should win the game with his offense and destroy his opponent with his speed!

Defensively, the main defense of their outside players, especially Turkoglu and Lewis, and the interior Howard is not covered, resolutely one-on-one, with his offensive ability, even if he scores 40 points, is it enough to destroy them?

Zhang Yu knew that what the coach said was right, as long as Howard was clamped, the outside line would inevitably be exposed, and a bunch of outside shooters on the other side were waiting for this moment.

He glanced at his opposing player, Connett. Lee, like him, is this year's rookie, and halfway through the season, the rookie has secured the Magic's starter, but only has played just over two quarters.

Connett. Li's offense and defense are good, but it is not enough to defend Zhang Yu, the height of the official newspaper is 196cm, Zhang Yu knows that it is fake at first glance, at most 193cm, he is not Crawford tall at all.

In today's game, whether the Knicks can defeat their opponents, his core is the key!

Who has more points against him or Warcraft? Which team is more likely to win the game.

Than scored? He wasn't afraid of anyone!

Especially after the All-Star, he is like having a superstar aura, and he is more comfortable in the face of ordinary players, I don't know if it is a psychological effect?

The game started with the bald Crawford as the referee today. The referee is the top-ranked referee on the Spurs forum blacklist. But in New York, he is the most popular referee. Because as long as he is in charge of Zhang Yu's game, Zhang Yu has a winning rate of more than 80%. Fans of other teams in the league think he has a soft spot for Zhang Yu, but that doesn't stop Crawford from regularly officiating the Knicks.

In the opening jump ball, David Lee didn't jump much himself, so he hurried back to defense.

It's rare for a center in the league to skip Howard now, and a guy like David Lee who can't even jump Yao Ming should be a little self-aware.

The Magic opened the first offense, and Alston handed the ball to Howard, who was about to be in place inside. Warcraft singles David Lee.

Lewis has put Kenyon. Martin pulled outside the three-point line, and Howard was the only one in the box.

The monster fought with its back to the basket with its strong body.

David Lee has good strength. But in the face of Howard's impact, he could only retreat a little, hoping to withstand 4 seconds, and then it would be time for the monster to turn around.

Zhang Yu suddenly started on the outside line and saw the right time. The monster squeezed into the inside and was about to turn around and shoot at the moment. He rushed over like an arrow from a string, slapped the basketball off Howard's hand, and then quickly scooped the basketball into his hand, turned around and attacked!

Warcraft was stunned, this guy who was a teammate a few days ago, was so ruthless today, and he gave him a dismount in less than a minute after the opening!

Zhang Yu dribbled quickly, and Connett Lee followed closely beside him. The Knicks' other two fast-paced players, Nate. Robinson and Chandler went hand in hand with him. The Knicks are on a three-line fast break.

Attacking the front court, Zhang Yu threw the basketball into the sky and passed it to Chandler, who arrived on the other side.

Chandler's opposing player, Turkoglou, was not fast and had been left behind by him at the moment, and the Knicks staged a wonderful aerial relay at the beginning, and Chandler showed off his outstanding body with a big windmill dunk in the air.

Howard's low-post strong play has something in common with Yao Ming, that is, it is easy to be stealed by small men on the outside.

Yao Ming is a little clumsy because he is too tall. However, Howard's basic skills are not solid enough, and he can only use one heart when he hits his back, and he can't notice the outside defense bag at the first time, and he is easy to be attacked by small people. Especially a guy like Zhang Yu who starts quickly and starts steadily and ruthlessly, when he reacts, the ball is gone.

The Magic's main point guard, Nelson, was reimbursed for the season before the All-Star break, and they traded for Alston from the Rockets before the trade deadline.

This year's record proves that the impact of point guards on the Magic is really not that big, as long as Howard is there and the crosshairs of the outside shooters are not abnormal, the strength of the Magic will not be affected.

Howard failed his first inside attack, and the second time he continued, Alston once again hoisted the basketball into it.

David Lee once again used his strength to push out, he knew that the most difficult thing to prevent Howard from being squeezed into the basket was not to let the other party squeeze into the basket and dunk, and Howard's shooting rate was limited, and letting him shoot might not be able to kill them.

The monster was extra careful this time, staring at Zhang Yu on the outside from time to time, and finally turned around and threw this small hook hand out of the basket, and Howard's second attack ended in failure!

Zhang Yu smiled at him, the happy beast now knew what it was like to be stared at by a master.

Howard slapped his palms hard when he returned to defense, and he didn't succeed in two attacks, which made him very remorseful.

Zhang Yu snickered in his heart, but he knew that next time he wrapped up, Howard would pass the ball to the outside, but he had to be careful not to miss someone.

On the offensive end of the Knicks, Zhang Yu ran out of a small empty space, Connett Lee was very flexible and fast enough, and when Zhang Yu received the ball and turned to shoot, the opponent's block also arrived.

Although the defense was already in place, Connett Lee's height disadvantage did not have much impact on Zhang Yu with his block, and Zhang Yu still hit the ball steadily with a soft touch.

At 0:4 in the opening game, Big Van Gundy roared dissatisfiedly on the court, and in the tactics he arranged for the team, the inside single is only a relatively backward one, if the first two times are successful, but the first two low-post singles failed, and he can't bear to come back for the third time.

Howard's offense this time has become a decoy to cover and attract attention, but D'Anthony is determined to use David Lee to defend Howard alone, before Zhang Yu was caught by him, the mustache can't control Zhang Yu, since the effect is not bad, then let him go, but others must play strictly according to his arrangement.

In the first five minutes, the Magic's passing tactics and three-point tactics were suppressed.

It's Howard, Zhang Yu can't always cover the ball every time, but he still let this big man score 4 points on David Lee's head.

The score is 12:7, Big Van Gundy called a timeout, the team can't play tactics now, and can only rely on Howard's second rebound and strong attack to get points, which is not efficient, and the score is evidence.

Barkley took advantage of the timeout to give an idea for the Magic: "That inside monster has to be more ferocious, he has to play aggressively, only if it hurts the Knicks, New Yorkers will divide their energy to contain him, and the outside will have a chance." He's got a very long rim and a quick back-to-back and should be put to good use of to cause damage. ”

However, Big Van Gundy obviously didn't think so, after the Magic team returned to the court, let their two big men start to run more forwards, and the Magic have two such tall and accurate shooting three or four positions, and other teams are very difficult to defend, and they can't always do both.

Turkogrutong guò tactical cover and got a one-on-one strong hit to Wilson. Chandler's chance.

The Turkish striker is a very versatile player who can play from one to four, and while his speed in the number one and four positions can be a huge colander on the defensive end, it also shows that his attacking skills are well-rounded.

Turkoglu singled Chandler with a face-to-face frame, dribbled and then made a pull-out to shoot the basketball.

Chandler was not thrown away, but the opponent had a clear advantage in height, and the basketball was not affected and fell straight into the basket.

Zhang Yu also strengthened his desire to attack today, and frequently beat Connett Lee on the offensive end, which was very efficient.

It was difficult for the Knicks to attack the three-second zone today, because Howard dominated almost the entire paint area on the defensive end, and even Zhang Yu rarely hit inside, basically attacking the Magic basket with his long-range striking ability, fortunately, he felt good, and the efficiency of doing so was no worse than attacking the basket.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26-24, and the Knicks led by two points.

Zhang Yu had 10 points and 1 assist, shooting 4-of-6 from the field, 1-of-3 from three-point range, and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line. Today he was very accurate from mid-range, hitting all three shots, and only one of his three-point shots, which was not a high shooting percentage.

Crawford scored 5 points, Xiao Tuan scored 5 points, and the two gave Zhang Yu a lot of help, and the Knicks relied on these three outside guns today, because their score in the paint area was only 6 points, which was pitiful.

Wilson. Chandler didn't play much after he played an aerial relay at the beginning, and his good empty-handed running and cutting to the basket were useless today, because there was Howard standing under the basket, and he could only find a cover when he cut to the basket.

David Lee and Kenyon Martin also had little chance, and Howard alone nearly paralyzed the Knicks' three-second zone offense.

The mustache said that this is nothing at all, they originally relied on shooting to kill the enemy, and they simply gave up if they couldn't get the ground under the basket.

Howard got 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block in the first quarter, and that block was Zhang Yu, this guy also wanted to use his feints to cheat a foul or something, but he was split by the monster and covered his face with a big hat, and then he was honest and concentrated on firing on the outside.

Barkley commented on Zhang Yu's first quarter, saying: "Bunny's style today and Reggie's. Miller is similar, moving consistently off the ball and taking a shot with little time or space. The good news is that he has a good hand, but I don't believe he's going to be that accurate the whole time? Maybe the Magic should defend with Petrus, not with a shorter white shooter. Big Van Gundy may be trying to use Connette Lee's projection ability, but I have to say, no matter how accurate he is, can he still be accurate than the little bunny? ”

Kenny. Smith also said: "The Magic team didn't wrap Zhang Yu today, which is the source of his 10 points in the first quarter. Neither Turkoglu nor Lewis are good at defending alone, but once they play in a joint defense, the defensive ability of these two will be improved to a notch, especially the guy from Europe, who is the best at this.
