Chapter 355: Confrontation
"Amare, we need to go a little faster," Gortat not only scored for Yao Ming, but also made a foul by the little giant, 2 plus 1.
Stoudemire heard Gortat's tone seem to be dissatisfied, and the little overlord was even more unhappy, as the team leader, being reprimanded by a new role player, Stoudemire felt particularly shameless. The little bully was about to sneer at each other, but Nash was between the two in time to prevent Stoudemierdo from saying it, so as not to affect the feelings between his teammates.
The Suns attacked, and after Nash and Stoudemire blocked and dismantled, they passed a wonderful aerial relay to the Little Overlord......
The Polish Hammers had a good sense of it, and the ball stuck Yao Ming's position under the basket in time, creating a way for Stoudemire to kill the basket.
Xiaobawang will not miss such an aerial relay opportunity, jumping quickly to catch the basketball, and pouring the blue ball into the basket with both hands!
The New York fans certainly won't give Stoudemire a round of applause, Kenyon. Martin was out of position and he should have been close to Stoudemire and not give him a chance to jump.
D'Antoni knows his disciple best, and the prerequisite for guarding against Stoudemire is not to let him receive basketball, but the Suns have Nash, and few can do that on the defensive end.
"Stick to him and watch the passing route."
In the next game, the Knicks paid special attention to defending the tandem between Nash and Stoudemire, and if Stoudemire couldn't catch the basketball, he didn't just need Kenyon. Martin's table xiàn, Thai. Lawson is also responsible for half of that task, and he has to jam Nash's pass to Stoudemire Jr. from the source. Therefore, any team with a good defense of the No. 1 and No. 4 positions will have a higher winning rate when facing the Suns.
Seeing that there were not many opportunities to pass to Stoudemire, Nash began to shift the passing target. Richardson and Grant. Hill can both cause damage to the Clippers on the offensive end.
At 5 minutes and 50 seconds in the first quarter, the score was 12:15, Richardson hit a three-pointer from the outside, and Zhang Yu just entered the interior to assist in defense and missed his opponent.
The game went into an official timeout, and it was counted on the home team, the Knicks.
"Yao did a good job, Stoudemire has already had a foul. Everyone knows what level of his defense is, and all the firepower after the timeout beckoned to Amare. ”
This guy D'Antoni actually counted his former disciples, but this order was very much in line with Zhang Yu's appetite.
The mustache did not replace Yao Ming. In the past, he would replace Yao Ming and Tai at this time. Lawson, though, only replaced the latter today.
Yao Ming has already scored eight points, and the Knicks' scoring is basically his score in the low post, and today the little giants have an absolute advantage against the Polish Hammers.
Suns coach Gentry was very unhappy with Stoudemire's defense. This guy didn't follow his own arrangement to trap Yao Ming in the game. Gortat couldn't hold out on to dealing with the little giant alone.
Steve. Nash knows what's going on, Stoudemire obviously did it on purpose, this guy has long wanted to leave Phoenix, and he is not interested in the new coach, because Gentry puts a lot of emphasis on defense, but Stoudemire is the same guy as D'Antoni, these two guys have no defense in their eyes, so going to New York to follow his mentor D'Antoni is the thing that Stoudemire wants to do the most now.
After the pause. The Knicks' lineup became: Chris. Du Hong, Zhang Yu. Gerrard. Wallace, Channing. Fry, Yao Ming.
The Suns' lineup became: Steve. Nash, Leandro. Barbossa, Jared. Dudley, Amare. Stoudemire, Robin. Lopez.
Robin. Lopes has played against Zhang Yu twice last season, this little rabbit's college classmate came up and put a big hat behind Zhang Yu who broke through with the ball, his defensive strength is not much better than Gortat, but he is the most familiar player with Zhang Yu on the field.
"Good guy, come up and give me such a ruthless greeting gift."
"Zhang, you know I'm going to work hard for the starter now, if you ask me to cover a few more, maybe I can be a starter in the next game."
"I know your strength, you will be the starter sooner or later."
Zhang Yu and Robin briefly exchanged two sentences on the way back to defense. Lopes has been in a bad situation this year, and he has already had a chance to be a starter, but the team traded to Gortat, and he has become a dispensable figure, and Gentry only uses him as a blue-collar under the basket.
Robin. Lopes doesn't weigh much more than Gortat, and Coach Gentry replaced him for the only reason, and that is that the Polish Hammers have already committed two fouls.
Stoudemire broke through to the basket in the high post this time, and Xiaobawang's dribbling ability is very good, and many people believe that once Stoudemire leaves Nash's ball, his personal count is likely to drop significantly, but they ignore that Stoudemire is a player with a strong independent offense, and it is good that someone can feed him the ball, but even if he leaves Steve. Nash, he can also rely on his all-time ball-handling breakthrough ability among his interior players to launch attacks from the high post alone.
QIAN Ning. Frye was completely unable to stop Stoudemire's high dribble breakaway, and Duncan couldn't defend this offense alone. Naturally, Fry could only deliver food, and was beaten twice by Xiaobawang in less than a minute.
The Stoudemire defensive end finally began to wrap Yao Ming, this is also a wayward player, if his defensive attitude can be correct, then entering the Hall of Fame is a sure thing, maybe even the championship has been won, 06-07 season, at that time, no matter who the Suns and Spurs enter the Finals, the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers is the same result, that year's Suns are the closest year to the championship, but after missing it, there will be no chance.
The Suns wrap Yao Ming, and the outside line will be exposed, and the Spurs can make up for it with their quick rotation, but the Suns don't have this ability at all.
Zhang Yu hit a three-pointer on the outside, today's little rabbit's desire to attack is not strong, and it seems to be invisible after the game starts, if everyone is not too familiar with him, his sense of existence on the court is really not strong.
At 4 minutes and 40 seconds in the first quarter, D'Antoni replaced Yao Ming, who had already scored 10 points, and the little giant shot four of six in the first quarter and hit two free throws, showing his dominant interior attack ability.
Among the active centers in the NBA, if you talk about the offensive ability of the low post, Yao Ming can really be called the first center in the NBA.
The score was 19:19, and after Yao Ming went down, the Knicks lineup became: Chris. Du Hong,Zhang Yu,Gerard. Wallace, Carl. Landry, Channing. Fry.
D'Antoni has now pretty much dropped Birdman Anderson, even though the latter has just signed a five-year contract, and with Landry and Channing Frye, Mustache doesn't like to use Birdman Anderson, who doesn't have much offensive ability.
According to D'Antoni's opinion, he will definitely not give Birdman Anderson such a contract before the start of this season, a player who can only defend and not attack, is a base salary player in the eyes of the mustache.
In the last four minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Yu hit two mid-range shots from 18 feet in a row, both of which were shot opportunities with the help of positioning and covering after the little rabbit ran without the ball.
Madison Square Garden boiled all of a sudden, Zhang Yu is this is amazing, don't look at him often like stealth on the field, sometimes his stealth will even start half the game time at once, but if you relax a little bit about him, then what awaits you is a fatal blow!
Stoudemire and Yao Ming have already gone off the court together, and in the 2:01 second of the game, the score is 25:21, and the Suns' scoring momentum on the court has slowed down suddenly.
The Knicks were a little relaxed on the defensive end at this time, and Nash's change of direction in front of the body instantly broke through Chris. Duhon, a mid-range pullup jumper, scored two points.
Nash started to attack individually, and at this time you could see that the Knicks' defense was really not very good, especially the lineup in the bench period. Delhi and Channing. Frye cowered into the box as if he were watching a play, allowing Nash to throw his shot from 15 feet.
Jeff. Van Gundy shook his head: "If Yao Ming's defense of pick-and-roll and mid-range is not good enough because of his huge size, then the two guys on the Knicks inside now are completely because of their defensive attitude."
Reggie. Miller laughed, "Mention Steve. Nash, as everyone knows, was shut out of dozens of colleges because they thought Nash's defense was really bad. But we have to see that Nash's defensive enthusiasm is not low, he is often knocked out of two meters by strong and tall opponents, and the inability to defend against opponents does not mean that he is not serious about defending. ”
Nash played the entire first quarter with seven points and three assists, and if he had been selfish, it was not impossible for him to win the scoring title.
The score was 30:28, and the two teams were evenly divided in the first quarter, both of which were a mess defensively, but very sharp offensively.
New York fans love this kind of game, and these guys only score 80 or 90 points in a game, and they still prefer to watch such a mercury-like offensive battle.
Zhang Yu had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Yao Ming 12 points and 3 rebounds. Wallace 4 points.
Steve. Nash had seven points and four assists, Stoudemire had eight points and three rebounds, Richardson had five points and Barbossa had four points.
In the second quarter of the game, the Suns sent a lineup of Dragic, Barbosa, Dudley, Stoudemire, and Gortat.
Knicks substitution: Tylawson, Marcus. Thorton, Carl. Landry, Kenyon. Martin, Yao Ming.
Stoudemire finally began to wrap up Yao Ming in the second quarter, and the little giant scored more points than him, which made the little bully put away his little nature.
Kenyon. Martin cut into the basket from the weak side, Yao Ming was tall and had a wide line of sight, and at this time passed the basketball to Kenyon Martin who cut into the basket in the middle of the bag.
The old champion has not scored in this game, and his average points per game this year has dropped to only eight points per game, and this time Kenyon Martin looks to be faster than Landry, receiving a two-handed dunk from the basketball, and a huge roar from his mouth to vent the frustration in his heart.
