You Chapter 148: You're a Cow

"I used to think that gorillas were the ugliest in the NBA, but today I found out that there is something uglier than him?"

David Lee lost to Oden on the jumper, and Zhang Yu stuck to Roy on the defensive end, with an expression of disbelief, and spoke.

Roy knew who Zhang Yu was talking about, and the pioneers really couldn't find anyone uglier than the little emperor except their main center, although he agreed with Zhang Yu's words, but the opponent insulted his teammates, or let Huang Mamba decide to give this Chinese who has been in the limelight a little bit of color.

Huang Mamba's ability to control the ball is very good, good at disguise and feints, and strong ability to make fouls, which is very similar to Zhang Yu, both of whom are often compared to Kobe.

Aldridge covered, Roy dribbled to break inside, Zhang Yu's legs were fast and flexible, although the power was small, but he quickly bypassed Aldridge with his feet.

Roy didn't shake off Zhang Yu, used his body to cover the dribble, and continued to break through to the basket.

Zhang Yu was separated by his body from the basketball, unable to break the ball, and kept following the defense to the basket.

Roy dribbled to the penalty area, David Lee came over, Huang Mamba didn't look back and slapped the ball back, Aldridge understood that he would receive the basketball behind him and hit a mid-range shot.

Kenyon Martin patted his chest to indicate that he had missed someone.

Today, the Trail Blazers have the advantage on the inside, with Aldridge and Oden being better than the Knicks' two insiders in terms of height and athleticism.

Although Oden has a serious knee injury, he has all the physical attributes to be a 7-foot dominant center in the NBA before he breaks out.

According to the information provided by the team's scouts before the game, Zhang Yu knew that Roy and Oden's knees, and even their main small forward Dravis' knees had injury problems, which can be called a "knee arrow army".

Roy has improved rapidly in recent years due to a knee injury to his own knees, but his style of play has become more and more technical, gradually getting rid of his dependence on his body.

Zhang Yu doesn't have so many worries, his skills are excellent, but most of the time, he still likes to use speed directly to get rid of opponents, especially against these guys with arrows in the knee, speed is the most direct and effective means.

Without the help of cover, Zhang Yu took the ball and put on a three-threat pose, and after two tentative steps, he accelerated sharply to the right to break through, which is the direction of Royna's legendary left knee without a meniscus.

Roy is indeed most afraid of others breaking through to his left, his left leg is not as explosive as before, the lateral movement is half a beat slower, and Zhang Yu has accelerated to wipe the ball over.

Breaking through the Yellow Mamba, it was Auden the Great who stood in his way.

"Which of this guy's knees has a problem?"

Zhang Yu thought shamelessly in his heart, he still wanted to repeat his old tricks, but suddenly thought of an important question: "He doesn't know which knee Oden has a hidden injury?" Left or right? Or were both shots? ”

I can't care so much, Zhang Yu has already arrived at the basket, Auden is in a good position in the penalty area, Zhang Yu jumped against Auden, changed hands in the air, changed angles and waited for Auden the Great to start falling to the ground, he had time to throw the basketball out......

"Whoa......

The basketball thrown by Zhang Yu didn't need to be bumped on the basket at all, and fell straight into the net, clean and neat!

The New York fans erupted in a tsunami of cheers for this wonderful goal, and their champion easily played the champion of the Trailblazers, and in the battle of champions in '08 and '07, Zhang Yu won the first leg with a crushing attitude!

"Sure enough, there are two times, no wonder the limelight is so popular?"

After Roy was broken through, he witnessed the whole process of Zhang Yu playing Auden behind him, he couldn't do such a move himself, this ability to stay in the air alone, few people in the entire alliance can do it, this depends on talent, it can be said that it is an exclusive ability for superstars in the alliance.

In the first quarter, the Knicks tried every means to raise the speed, because the opponent's center, that is, Oden the Great, had a congenital disadvantage in speed, coupled with a knee injury, so that his running ability was not better than Yao Ming, and he was particularly powerless on the court in the face of the bombardment team.

Roy wants to control the rhythm in the first quarter, he is a two-way guard with excellent organizational skills, but in addition to the playmaker has deep control over the rhythm, the team also needs to have such ability, the Trail Blazers do not have the tactical execution ability of the Spurs for the time being, and they are far from being able to reduce the speed of the Knicks.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were 28-24, leading the Trail Blazers by four points. It's not a big difference, but it makes the Knicks score close to 30 points in the first quarter, and it's obviously on the New York side, and it's difficult to score such a high score in a positional battle.

Zhang Yu played for eight minutes, scored 5 points and 2 assists and went off the court. D'Antoni is planning to try to let the main players, especially Zhang Yu, rest a little longer as long as the team stays ahead, so that can deal with that damn schedule, because tomorrow is another back-to-back away game, and the opponent is the Cavaliers who stole their victory in the last game, and they will play the Cavaliers twice in a week.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers replaced Roy and let him lead the second team to chase the score.

However, the second column of the Knicks led by Crawford is not easy to mess with, along with Chandler, Nate Robinson, Anderson, the second team of the Knicks also has defense and offense, although the organization is a little chaotic, but this kind of chaotic battle is just suitable for Crawford and Nate Robinson such nerve knives, this season more than once when the main lineup is evenly matched with the opponent, the second column of the Knicks came up with a burst of blind and shot to cut the opponent over.

Zhang Yu encountered a dead ball in 7 minutes and 30 seconds before returning to the court, when he played, the pioneer star had already scored 12 points and 4 assists, the score of the two teams was 38:35, and the Trailblazers relied on Roy's play to recover a point, which made Zhang Yu feel very happy.

"I've heard that without a meniscus, playing in the NBA is equivalent to masturbating with sandpaper, you're so good!"

As soon as Zhang Yu came on the field, the words he said made Roy feel uncomfortable and wanted to vomit blood! There are many rumors about this yellow mamba, and there is even news that he is still a mafia, so I don't know if this is gossip or something true? But Zhang Yucai doesn't care so much, trash talk has to be said, even if it's really a mafia, what's so scary? Lao Tzu is a communist, an industry, and a party!

Roy's title of "Yellow Mamba", in addition to playing style is similar to Kobe, there is also one thing that is also very similar, that is, he is also not good at trash talk, and when he is provoked, he uses the on-court table to shut up the opponent!

Zhang Yuda respects such a player in his heart, but this does not prevent him from being more unscrupulous to tease the other party with trash talk.

On the offensive end, Roy decided to get a claim for his knee, although his left knee hurts every time he exerts a violent force, but both the team and his dignity make him unable to avoid the challenge, as long as he plays on the court for a day, he will not give in to any opponent.

Looking at the consciousness of others, Zhang Yu didn't know that he had inadvertently played the villain again, and concentrated on dealing with Huang Mamba's attack.

Roy forced his strength this time, his basketball IQ is extremely high, knowing that Zhang Yu, a cunning guy, would defend against his breakthrough to the right side, this time he broke through to the left side in pain, and sure enough, Zhang Yu had no time to react, Roy had already dribbled into the penalty area.

Huang Mamba's ability to stay in the air is not as good as Zhang Yu, and he can't wait for the opponent to land in the air like him and then shoot easily, but he has his own trick - making fouls!

Birdman Anderson jumped up to block, only to be fouled by Roy cunningly, and the basketball was not blocked, Roy avoided the block very well, and threw the ball towards the basket at a different angle......

The basketball hit the rebound, bounced off the basket and tossed and turned on the basket, and gently fell into the net as the Knicks fans prayed to Lady Luck.

It seems that "Lady Luck" is not so pleasing to the Knicks during this time, maybe it would be better for them to pray to their own "Lady Liberty".

However, Roy's trick can't be used much, and Zhang Yu won't be fooled a second time.

Huang Mamba's normal breakthrough method mainly relies on the change of rhythm to find breakthrough space and opportunities, but these two kinds of Zhang Yu can use his feet to limit the opponent well. So then, Roy's scoring began to decrease, Zhang Yu's height, arm span and flexibility, coupled with his super high basketball IQ, is the nemesis of any guard who does not have absolute speed.

Zhang Yu may not be able to guard against guards like Westbrook, Rose and Wade, but he is just restrained against guards like Roy and Ginobili. If the boss didn't shoot singles, he would really be incomprehensible, and after Zhang Yu had enough experience in the game, he would not be afraid of the opponent.

In the second quarter, Aldridge took over the team's offensive banner and used his mid-range shot to stabilize the situation for the team. Both Kenyon Martin and Anderson are more suitable for defending in the low post, using the nimble footwork of interior players to cover the flanks and take advantage of the block. But once they encounter a projection big forward like Nowitzki or Aldridge, especially if the opponent doesn't go inside at all, and there are a lot of shooting feints, both of them feel very awkward when defending.

The Knicks are Nate Robinson who stepped up, this small guard who is only 170cm, often works wonders when facing the opponent's clumsy interior line, and this is also a nerve knife, playing up, pulling out three-point and various difficult shots can also stab people to death!

It can be seen that Oden's knee is now on the eve of exploding, and I believe he himself feels it, so he is extremely careful when making movements, and the defensive pace that is already not fast is even slower.

Nate Robinson hit Oden in a row, threw it outside when he had a chance, and passed it to Zhang Yu to reorganize.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Trail Blazers by five points at 53:48.

Nate Robinson scored a game-high 15 points and 2 assists, Zhang Yu had 10 points and 3 assists, Crawford had 8 points, Wallace had 7 points, and David Lee had 6 points.

For the Trail Blazers, Aldridge had a team-high 14 points and 5 rebounds in the first half, Roy had 11 points and 3 assists, Fernandez had 8 points, Blake had 6 points, and Oden had 3 points.

At halftime, Charles Barkley poked the Knicks with a knife and came up with an idea for the Trail Blazers, because Zhang Yu had a big mouth and said on his blog that he didn't need a big ass to be the best player in the league.

"The Trail Blazers didn't do well in the first half, they must prevent the Knicks' offense, the Knicks are the second leading scoring team in the league this season, as long as the offense is smooth, they can score a lot of points quickly, and if they are not careful, they are easy to be driven by their pace to attack and run, the best way is to keep their own calm pace, play the ball their own way, reduce their quick counterattack, and find open space to score."

Zhang Yu didn't know that his New Year's friend had stabbed himself in the back, and D'Antoni was also in the locker room to set up the attack for the second half.

"We made too many mistakes in the first half and let the opponent win many times, we have to solve those problems quickly in the second half, you know, the opponent can't be beaten lightly, we have to work harder, play with our speed and reduce the mistakes!"

Although Nate Robinson scored a lot of points in the first half, he often went deep inside to cause passing errors, and the little potato went crazy, and he could kill the enemy and hurt himself, which was a double-edged sword.

Zhang Yu was in charge at the beginning of the second half, and D'Antoni wanted to reduce his mistakes, so he sent a combination of Zhang Yu and Crawford as soon as he came up, but it was Kenyon Martin who broke out first after the opening

Kenyon Martin is very fast, even as fast as a defender at his peak, which shows the athleticism of the new jubilee champion. Even now that he's past his prime, he's still a lot faster than most interior players, and he's suitable for fast-break tactics, otherwise D'Antoni wouldn't trade him for Randolph.

With Zhang Yu's two pick-and-rolls, Kenyon Martin scored two points with his insmart jump shot in the low post for the first time, which gave him confidence, and after the second block, he cut inside and raided the basket, received Zhang Yu's exquisite pass to complete a violent dunk, and also made Aldridge a foul, completing two plus one.

After falling from the basket, Kenyon Martin strode up to Aldridge and roared in celebration of his goal, but he was actually provoking the third-year.

Aldridge was criticized for being weak in his early years, his gentle jump shot and thin body have become the object of criticism from fans, and for a while remarks like "Aldridge is a soft egg" came and went, Kenyon Martin certainly will not let go of the opportunity to humiliate him, which is also a means of player competition.

Hei Ade was silent, he was an honest boy, and when he encountered this kind of thing, he chose to be silent, and used the table on the court to fight back at the other party.

"You're going to scare him into tears, we should be gentle with him."

Zhang Yu, the number one villain, came out of nowhere, and sprinkled a handful of salt on Aldridge's innocent heart, he and Kenyon Martin were like the first villain and the second villain, shamelessly bullying the tall protagonist. It's a pity that the difference with the TV series is that the villains here will not be slapped in the face, only those who have no strength will be slapped in the face.

Kenyon Martinga hit a free throw to score five straight points to rewrite the score to 58-48, and the Trail Blazers trailed the Knicks by two points.

McMillan quickly called a timeout, and the well-known coach who single-handedly re-cultivated the withered roses into flowers, knew that the Trail Blazers were on the edge of the cliff, and if they didn't pull back the decline, the game would be over.

NBA head coaches often seem very helpless, sometimes their tactics are cleverly arranged, once they encounter a very unreasonable superstar, such as Kobe, an unreasonable pull will make the coach's deliberate tactics go to waste. Coincidentally, the Knicks also have such a player

The Trail Blazers returned to the court, and McMillan made a special offensive play, and Roy ran an open shot, but unfortunately the basketball brushed out of the basket.

Zhang Yu received the ball and dribbled it to the front court, this time he did not speed up, but dribbled to the front court unhurriedly. At the top of the arc, Zhang Yu broke through to the inside with the cover of Kenyon Martin.

Roy was blocked by Martin, and Aldridge stepped sideways to help defend Zhang Yu's breakthrough, at which time Zhang Yu suddenly made a sharp stop, and jumped to the three-point line with a step-back step......

Aldridge was unaware of this sudden movement, and could only stretch out his arm as much as possible to interfere with Zhang Yu's vision.

The basketball drew a rainbow and plunged into the basket under the gaze of everyone

Zhang Yu raised his right hand and stepped back to the cheers of the fans, and this goal made the difference between the two teams even wider, and also made McMillan's timeout useless.

This goal was the most important turning point of the day for both teams, and since then, the difference between the two teams has remained around 10 points, and the Trail Blazers have struggled to close the gap no matter what.

When Crawford threw in a long-range three-pointer in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter to widen the gap to 15 points, the Trail Blazers finally gave up their resistance and bowed to the Knicks at "Madison Square Garden"!

The final score was 106-95, and the Knicks won two in a row after two straight losses, and a thrilling home win over the Trail Blazers improved their record to 11-6. However, they are still in fourth place in the East for the time being, as the Celtics, who are also in the Atlantic Division, are also winning, with the Green Shirts having a 12-4 record, second in the East, and the Cavaliers in first place 13-4.

Zhang Yu scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in this game, and was selected as the best player of the game.

The Knicks will travel to Cleveland tomorrow, and the Cavaliers are waiting for work at the "Credit Field" this time, the league's famous devil's home court, which has not lost 13 consecutive games in the preseason, and James has already released cruel words to greet the New Yorkers in Cleveland.

At the post-game press conference, the reporters had already forgotten about the Portlanders who had just lost here, and all the questions were for tomorrow's game against the Cavaliers, which made McMillan very dissatisfied and threw his sleeves away!

"Mr. D'Antoni, will you still use the bombardment style in tomorrow's game?"

D'Antoni would not answer such a question, it must have been sent by a spy, and said with a blank face: "No comment." ”

"Mr. Zhang Yu, do you know who the best player in the East for November was just announced by the league?"

Rakki regretted very much today, why did he not accept Zhang Yu's bet after the last game, because the league had just announced the best of the month in the East and West, and they actually awarded the best in the East to Wade, not Chinese nor James, he is now ruined in his intestines, this question is full of sarcasm, who let Zhang Yu swear in advance that he won this honor, and now he is slapped in the face, right?
