Chapter 387: There is no suspense (first update)
The referee blew the whistle and Dwight Howard sent the basketball to Alston, who held the ball and moved forward steadily.
The starter who put Alston into the second half was Jeff Van Gundy's Jiany, and although Alston has rarely played a major role since being traded to the Magic, he is a veteran of Jeff Van Gundy when he was with the Rockets. So, Jeff Van Gundy has high hopes for him to control the team's tempo and follow through on his will.
Laver Alston was joined by Gortat, Dwight Howard, Turkoglou and JJ Redick.
This lineup is obviously going to play a half-court attack.
It's Jeff Van Gundy's favorite lineup, with a rebounding manpower and a defensive strongman, a player at the No. 3 position who can assist inside and out, and a three-point shooter on the front line and a point guard who can control the rhythm.
In fact, this is a replica of the team lineup when Jeff Van Gundy coached the New York Knicks many years ago.
It's called coaching inertia, and every coach likes to carry on the template of his own success, and then stuff similar players into the template.
Although Xiao Po is not a head coach, he does more work than a head coach.
But... From start to finish, he didn't have any coaching inertia, and his style has always been random and untraceable.
At this time, the Knicks' on-court lineup is Eddie Curry with David Lee, Jeffries is the small forward, Gallinani is the shooting guard, and Xiao himself plays the point guard.
Essentially, the Knicks' roster is similar to that of the Magic. It's just that... The Magic are more defense-oriented inside, while the Knicks are more offense-oriented inside.
It's a spear and shield duel.
Alston came to the front court with the ball. Xiao Xiao didn't go to press on the former streetball king. Xiao Swan has studied the technical style of every Magic player. He knows Alston has a lot of ball handling. Although the physical strength is not as great as Nelson's, the stability of holding the ball far exceeds that of Nielsen.
Alston didn't have the habit of sticking to the ball like Nelson, and he quickly passed the ball to Turkoglou, who broke through two steps with the ball and handed it to Dwight Howard, who arched David Lee a few times with the ball, attracted the bag, and quickly passed the ball to the outside of the three-point line. Redick was out of space at this point, and he quickly jumped up to the ball after receiving the ball...... Swish!
The Magic hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit to 16 points.
The Magic team played very patiently, without a trace of impatience, and the basketball passed through almost everyone's hands. In the end, there was an absolute vacancy to shoot!
Great!
Xiao smiled and nodded, he did not hesitate to praise himself.
He appreciates, but disagrees, that there are other ways to play team basketball, and it doesn't have to be that everyone is selfless to pass the ball, in his opinion. With every extra pass comes an extra risk of being tackled.
So, he decided to give a good demonstration.
But when he came to the front with the ball. found that there was no defender in front of him, and all the magic players followed in front of the other four magic players, as if they were shooting at will.
Xiao Shi is not a person who likes to eat buffets, and he hates this kind of picture of no one taking care of his own score.
If it had been in the past, he would have only been able to score because he couldn't pass the ball. And now, he's going to fight the Magic, isn't he trying to strangle my connection with the other players? Then I'm going to show it to you!
"Run!! Always ready to catch the ball!! Eddie Curry, stand near the free throw line and block for your teammates!! Xiao shouted a command, and he made no secret of his next action: "I am the assist!" I don't want to score!! β
Xiao is very willful, but the Magic players are very happy, and they also admire Jeff Van Gundy very, very much in their hearts...... Jeff was so good that he calculated that Xiao Xiao would definitely pass the ball instead of scoring!
Jeff Van Gundy was indeed right, he sat in the locker room and watched Xiao Shi command his teammates to run, he couldn't help laughing, and proudly reached out and touched his chin: "Hmph, after all, it's just a young player under the age of twenty, it's too easy to be stimulated." Hehe! β
Xiao Sao is indeed young and vigorous, but he is not a person who will be killed by his opponent with a trap lightly. What he is better at is to crush the opponent's trap in iron shoes, and then walk away rashly, as if I just like you to see me unhappy but I can't help me.
When his teammates started running, Xiao Shan also walked into the three-point line leisurely.
It looked careless, but the Magic team focused their full attention on him.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly threw the ball to the left with both hands, and it looked like he was going to smash the basketball like a cannonball at Garinnani who ran to the bottom corner on the left.
In an instant, the defensive center of gravity of all the Magic players who were observing the words rushed to that side.
But...... The basketball didn't hit the left corner like a cannonball, but was thrown back lightly and hit with the elbow of his right hand...... The basketball easily fell into the right-hand penalty area...... Just when everyone didn't understand what was going on, David Lee happened to run over there, and he was also a little confused, but he still subconsciously caught the ball, and then took an easy step and scored a layup, and no one defended him at all...... Swish!
The basketball went into the hoop so easily, without any hindrance.
Madison Garden was stunned for a moment, and then erupted into an astonishing noise.
At this time, the screen overhead was also replaying the picture of the dashing pass just now...... At the same time, the corner of the eye observed that David Lee just ran to the restricted area from the right side, quickly passed the basketball from the back of his head, and also used the elbow ball to the extreme, locking the direction without any deviation, directly leading David Lee to the basket easily.
"Perfect... Genius, magician-like approach, unparalleled creativity. Now, who would dare to say that our hero does not know how to pass??? The DJ shouted excitedly.
His yelling drew echoes from the audience, just by virtue of the pass just now. Slick enough to beat 90 percent of the league's point guards. It's perfect. And it's extreme!!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!! β
The on-site DJ led the fans to fill the entire Garden Arena with a murderous atmosphere!!
Listening to the murderous aura that permeated the arena. Sitting in the locker room, Jeff Van Gundy only felt cold in his hands and feet...... He didn't expect Xiao Shi to be so hidden, and his pass was so untraceable. Originally, he wanted to figure out the chic passing routine, but he didn't expect it to be so whimsical.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! At such a young age, he is so deeply hidden, who dares to believe that he can't even pass the ball in the last game? It's so good at hiding, it's hidden! This guy is the most deadly black mamba hiding in the grass and motionless, and he will not hesitate to come out and smack you in the neck at every opportunity, so that you can no longer live!! β
Jeff Van Gundy felt a chill down his spine, he had never met such a scheming opponent. In his opinion. The young man is the most fond of showing off and the most uncontrollable, and he is eager to use any killer tricks immediately, but Xiao Shi is not like this, he only comes up with tricks at critical moments, and no one knows how many tricks he has in his arsenal.
This person is quite difficult to mess with!
Tonight is more auspicious!!
Jeff Van Gundy was devastated in the locker room, and he had seen the final solution.
However, his brother Stan Van Gundy didn't see it, he thought the pass was just an accident, and the game continued, and he continued to push the team to attack quickly.
The Magic players returned to halfcourt, and Dwight Howard drew a foul on Eddie Curry. One of two free throws.
Yibian fought again, and the Magic team still let it go. And the chic way to deal with it is still to get the Knicks players running. In the end, he sent the basketball to the bottom corner of the three-point line with an unbelievable crotch pass, and Gallinani hit a three-pointer with ease.
The Magic players were helpless, and they also wanted to capture the sloppy passing path, but it was so fanciful that there was no trace of it. It's like, you can feel the wind, but you can never catch it! That's the biggest emotion of their defensive slick passing.
The game is still going on, and the unbelievable passes are still being staged. The Magic's offense is gradually getting into trouble, because the Magic team doesn't have a superstar on the offensive end after all, and at critical moments, they can't find someone who can ruthlessly plunge the dagger into the opponent's heart.
The Magic are in trouble, but the Knicks are playing happy basketball. The slick and slick passes made the Knicks players happy, because scoring was so easy.
In the NBA, a business league, the number of jΓΉ is the most important, and it is easy to have a light number of jΓΉ brushes, can you not be happy?
Compared with the happiness of the Knicks players, the Magic players are all bitter and hateful. They have been beaten to the point where they have lost their temper...... Obviously, they worked hard, but they were beaten by the opponent leisurely, and they couldn't even move!
They were very unconvinced, but the status quo made them convinced. By the end of the third quarter, the Magic had trailed by 26 points.
This score is already a chasm, and an even bigger chasm is that they simply can't find any hope of turning the tables around.
Therefore, they are all depressed when they end up.
Knicks fans are already celebrating, and the only thing in suspense for them is how many assists the team can rack up and how many points the team can win.
"If the first quarter was like Stephen Nash for an assist, and the second quarter was like Jason Kidd, then in the third quarter his style was completely a copy of the magician's performance, full of bizarre and whimsical, and every pass can be treated as an art...... "The T-NT host commented on the dashing pass during the inter-quarter timeout.
However, his words were interrupted by Charles Barkley: "I think it's more like Williams, the Kings' white clever Williams, of course, the efficiency and success rate are much higher than Williams." But in terms of style, it's really too similar, it's all the kind of passing that doesn't follow the convention, and it can even be said to be a stream of consciousness. I think sometimes when I pass the ball, I don't know what I'm going to do next, it's too casual, but it's so efficient. I have to say, Xiao Xiao I have seen the most talented player, there is no one!! Michael Jordan is also good enough to compare with him! Charles Barkley boasted about the chic and ignored anyone's direct praise of the chic to the clouds.
But everyone won't mind his exaggeration, because he was originally a dashing brain-dead fan!
This label has long been pressed on his forehead.
However, he himself is quite content, and there is no shame for him to be a dashing brain-crippled fan.
Shame on those who are against themselves.
Like what... Kenny Smith who has been silent tonight!!
