Chapter 224: Let's go head-to-head
Xiao Dash obviously didn't expect D'Antoni to have such a deep prejudice against Stephen Marbury, but for him, he needed Stephen Marbury's help no matter what. In his mind, Stephen Marbury has always been the sharp and sharp image in that video, and there is no zài problem in terms of strength. In fact, Stephen Marbury's physical condition is still quite good, although his physical function is not as sharp as explosiveness, but as long as he wants, he is still a first-class point guard, and he can still serve as the starting point guard on any NBA team.
For the Knicks, who are dying of talent, it is a treasure to have such a point guard with a wealth of experience and gorgeous skills.
But now, the baby has been put aside and completely excluded from the competition. While Stephen Marbury has one problem or another, he deserves to be in the game, not in the midst of the negative press.
Dash was tempted to pull Stephen Marbury out of the negative coverage of the scandal, but it was not an easy thing to do, because in the city of New York, everyone had a deep-seated negative image of Marbury.
But fortunately, Marbury himself has a positive reversal attitude, and Xiao believes that it will not be long before Marbury can gradually complete some transformations and become a very important member of the New York Knicks.
Drip!
Soon, the game resumed.
Sure enough, the Cavaliers were replaced by Ilgoskas, and Vallejo returned to the court.
This posture looks like it is about to concentrate on attacking in the half-court position.
At this time, the Knicks' lineup is still David Lee. Harrington. Wilt Chandler. chic as well as Chris Duhon.
Although the Knicks pay a high luxury tax every year, there are only a few people who can play on the court, and the bench is full of a bunch of uncles who only take wages and don't work. And these junk contracts are all the credit of Isaiah Thomas, and if it weren't for his wide open charity doors, the Knicks wouldn't be where they are today.
Fortunately, James Dolan is not bad for money, and he has completely forgiven Isaiah Thomas because he is a fatalist. He firmly believed that if he hadn't endured such a bad bitter fruit, he would not have reaped such a sweet treasure today.
James Dolan has always believed. There will always be someone in your world who will make you forgive all your past mistakes. And this person, for James Dolan, is chic.
After the game started, the Cavaliers really lowered the tempo, and Mo Williams controlled the ball very slowly, and when he arrived in the frontcourt, he handed the ball to LeBron James.
James held the ball in front of Wilt Chandler and dribbled slowly for a while.
Then he slammed into a slash, slashing through Wilt Chandler's defense in an instant.
James is a heavy sword in a sense. Fierce and domineering, but at the same time his speed is very, very amazing. It's like opening a hanging tank. Against this kind of guy with unusual talent, Wilt Chandler's level of defense is impossible to defend at all.
In fact, Xiao Dash didn't have any confidence in their defense either.
After a few team practice games, Xiao Po's defense of the Knicks has been very light. In the past, when he was with the Clippers, he often had his teammates practice defensive coordination, and in fact, the Clippers' defensive quality worked very well under Xiao Xiao's urging. But the overall situation of the Knicks made Xiao Sao not want to mention the word defense at all, because this team can't find the word defense from the playbook, and all the players are mostly offensive players. The only one who has a bit of a defensive stance is Jeffries, but he is still the kind of defender who is biased towards the pole, even if his pace can keep up with James's pace, but the strength is not equal to a weight class at all, James can knock it over and run over with a light effort.
After James rushed inside, he passed the ball to Ilgoskas with a hand-to-hand hand, and Ilgoskas received the ball and shot the basketball into the Nets with a very easy hook.
David Lee has no resistance to this at all, because in his opinion, Ilgoskas is like shooting on the second floor, and he can't interfere at all!! And the tonnage of Ilgoskas is also something that David Lee cannot resist.
With such a heavy backlog, David Lee could only cry without tears. After all, his position is a power forward, and in terms of his height, even if he plays a power forward, he is too short. But now he is asked to deal with the highest inside line in the whole league except for Yao Ming, which is a completely impossible task??
Very quickly, the Knicks completed the serve, and the basketball was handed over to Xiao in the first hand.
When Xiao Xiao took the ball and ran wildly, he found that there was a thick and fast shadow around him, and when he turned his head sideways, LeBron James had followed him like a shadow.
Xiao Sao guessed that the Cavaliers would increase their defensive efforts, but he didn't expect that McBrown would actually send James over to defend himself, which is a bit illogical, because James is the offensive engine of the Cavaliers, and if he personally defends the arrow figures, then it will inevitably affect the body. If there is a problem with his body, then the Cavaliers will also collapse.
Xiao Shao's idea is very orthodox, but he doesn't know that defending himself is LeBron James's personal request, and his idea is that Xiao Xiao must be strangled to death first. As long as Xiao Sage is strangled to death, the Knicks will be ruined. When the time comes, they will be able to quickly open up the score, and then even if they are out of content, the difference will become out of reach, and the Knicks will have no other way but to announce the arrival of garbage time.
James' idea struck Mike Brown because it logically worked. But the basis for James' workability is... He was able to strangle Xiao to death.
James is very confident in his defensive ability, because he feels that he is not lagging behind Xiao Xiao at all, whether it is height, weight, speed and strength, in such a situation, it is simply too difficult for Xiao Xiao to score easily.
Xiao Sprinkle when he saw that it was James who defended himself. A slight surprise. But. This accident soon turned into a burning will to fight.
Xiao Xiao has always been looking forward to fighting against the strong.
And LeBron James is undoubtedly the signature figure of this league. Although now recognized as the first person in the league is still Kobe Bryant. But whether it is in terms of numbers or personal tables, LeBron James has led Kobe Bryant across the board. In a way, James can already be called the first person in the league.
It's really exciting to be able to play against the first person in the league to attack and defend.
Chic fighting and high-spirited.
So, he decided that the ball was going to be singled out against James.
So, invisibly, he increased his speed again.
When the dashing figure advanced more quickly, James couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Xiao's speed to be so fast, after all, this is a breakthrough with the ball, and he can actually advance at a high speed again in the state of breaking through with the ball at high speed!! Sure enough, it should not be underestimated!!
While being surprised, James gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, struggling to keep up with the dashing pace.
The two of them ran forward and backward in a high-speed movement posture, until they came to a step outside the three-point line, and made a sudden stop. Although LeBron James guessed that Xiao Shao would make an emergency stop, his ability to control his body was still not as accurate as Xiao Shao.
He dragged two steps forward, and when he stood still, he found that Xiao Shi had raised his hand to shoot.
He was impressed with his dashing, fast-paced shooting. And quite jealous. So almost without any hesitation, he quickly pounced. He was ready to give Xiao a violent cap.
But the moment he flew up, he realized that he had been fooled. Xiao Sao didn't take off quickly at all, but there was a pause.
This pause is obviously to lure you into the urn.
Oops, no, he wants to make a foul!!
After James came to his senses, he quickly chose to stop. However, it was already too late, and Xiao Shi was already head-on...... Poof, Xiao Sa directly hit James's strong bull-like body, and instantly it was as if he had been hit in the chest by a boulder, and his blood was churning, but even so, Xiao Sa still endured the huge slap and threw the basketball with difficulty...... Drip!
The referee blows the whistle and signals for a foul on LeBron James.
Bang!
The basketball that Xiao threw out still didn't enter the basket in the end, after all, his shooting angle was too bad, and his body was still subjected to such a big slap, which seemed a little lacking.
Although the shot did not enter the Nets this time, the foul that made three free throws still made the whole court boil, chanting the name of Xiao.
After all, it was LeBron James who was playing with Chick.
And the previous scene of Xiao Sao and LeBron James flying with wings and running wild is really pleasing to the eye and brings people the passion of speed.
There was even a sense of tension at the last brake, as if I was watching a drag racing movie, and the moment when I made a foul was a beautiful tail flick that knocked the opponent off the cliff.
"Hey, it looks like you're no different from those stupid defenders, and you're going to be fooled with such a fake feint?? You're going to pounce on you?? Xiao Shi rubbed his still painful body and said to LeBron James playfully.
When LeBron James heard this, he was quite annoyed. However, on the surface, he still had a calm and breezy attitude, and said in a condescending tone: "Rookie, do you dare to defend me??" ”
LeBron James challenged Xiao directly.
"I don't have time to play with you." Shrugging his shoulders and scorning LeBron James in a more detached manner: "An ace offensive player doesn't focus on a bad defender. ”
With that, Xiao Shao had already stepped to the free throw line.
Looking at the dashing and floating figure, LeBron James scolded the bastard fiercely in his heart.
He wanted to use the agitation method to force Xiao Shi to attack him, and he believed that he would definitely be able to exhaust Xiao Xiao with his body, so that the Knicks would be defeated more completely.
Xiao Shi will not be fooled, as soon as James said this, he figured out the meaning behind James, this kind of clumsy agitation method is too pediatric for Xiao Shan, after all, he is a psychologist.
And the reason why Xiao Wan rejected James so unhesitantly was not because he was afraid of consuming his body, let alone afraid of being an enemy of James. It's that he knows that now is not the time, and before the team has a second stable output point, Xiao Sao will not play the trick of jade burning.
Other words. Before Stephen Marbury came on the field. Dash won't go head-to-head with LeBron James.
But actually. Xiao is now looking forward to Stephen Marbury playing, and he is even more looking forward to competing with LeBron James on both offensive and defensive ends. Because he wants to know how far he is from the number one person in the league today. Most importantly, he was looking forward to the great power of his body when he entered a state of exhaustion.
If James knew that Xiao Shao was looking forward to physical exhaustion, he would have been dumbfounded. If he knew that Xiao Shao would be able to block and kill the gods after entering a state of exhaustion, he would be even more stunned.
It's just that this qiē will rot forever in Xiao Shao's stomach, and he won't tell the second person, because this is the biggest secret in his life.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Xiao hit three free throws with unmistakable accuracy. Getting to the free throw line is all about scoring for the Dash.
His shooting percentage has been maintained at around 97 percent.
Basketball is rarely missed.
So, fouling on Xiao Dash is basically the worst, worst, and stupidest defense.
The game continued, and the Cavaliers were still controlling the tempo slowly, still scoring with great ease.
It can't be helped, the Knicks' defense is just terrible.
And after returning to the half, Xiao Po handed the ball to Wilt Chandler with a thought, and then ran with LeBron James for the whole half.
Xiao tried to mess up the Cavaliers' defensive system with guò runs, while leaving Wilt Chandler to break down the defense and score points.
However, Wilt Chandler was clearly not well suited to this treatment. After he has the ball. Barely passes. Straight heads-up.
Unfortunately, he didn't feel very good tonight.
He didn't hit three goals in a row. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, narrowed the gap steadily.
This situation made D'Antoni on the sidelines very angry, and he kept reminding Wilt Chandler to pay attention to passing the ball on the sidelines, but he was chic but relaxed. He still doesn't attack, he still gives the ball to Wilt Chandler.
He figured out this way to sue Sù de Antony, and only Stephen Marbury could save the situation, and only listen to himself.
Xiao Sa's is actually forcing the palace in disguise, but his qiē is all for the betterment of the team.
And LeBron James next to him obviously can't understand Xiao Sa's thinking, and he wonders why Xiao Xiao has not attacked, just taking himself around in circles.
After four or five balls, this strangeness began to turn into complacency and triumph. He felt that Xiao Po was afraid of his defense, so he would avoid the offense, so he would urgently pass the basketball out.
Ha ha! This is the deterrent power of defense!!
LeBron James's heart was very happy, but he couldn't help but say to Xiao stinky fart: "Hey, rookie." Why don't you dare to go on the offensive anymore? Is it because you're afraid of my defense? Aren't you amazing? I didn't expect you to be like this, not only did you not dare to defend me, but now you don't even have the courage to attack yourself. Haha, what a soft egg! ”
James couldn't help but get a little carried away.
He tried to get these words through guò to stimulate Xiao Shao.
Xiao Sao just smiled lightly, and calmly told him: "Why can't you hold your breath at all?" The game isn't over yet, and the qiē you've been expecting is definitely going to happen. ”
"Also, I have to tell you something. If you're trying to create a contrast in your opponent's psyche, it's best not to try to use such offensive suggestive words. You have to turn a corner to get excited, not to attack so directly. If you run into someone with a bad temper, there is a good chance that you will get two fists in the face. ”
Xiao was very kind enough to remind James how to properly use trash talk.
LeBron James still had his nostrils up after hearing this, but he was also a little unhappy in his heart...... I don't get angry like this, it's really a good egg!
Xiao Xiao doesn't know the slander in LeBron James's heart. He only knew that D'Antoni could really calm down, and he didn't call a timeout even after all this.
Just when Xiao was surprised that D'Antoni was so calm, D'Antoni took the initiative to call a timeout.
When D'Antoni called a timeout, Xiao smiled from the inside out.
He knew that from now on, he had the initiative in using Stephen Marbury.
So he strode to the bench, and before that, Xiao Shao told LeBron James in advance: "Hey, LeBron, I'll go head-to-head with you when I come back from a timeout, heads-up on both offensive and defensive ends, please be ready to fight!" ”
So saying, he whistled and walked away.
LeBron James frowned immediately after hearing this... Why did this guy suddenly change his mind? Why don't I have the joy of achieving my goals at all? Why does it sound like there's a big conspiracy going on??
LeBron James' face was full of suspicion.
And Xiao Sao has returned to the bench, at this time he changed his face to a strict sù, he said very strictly: "We must make a change, we must make a change!! ”
Xiao Shi emphasized it twice in a row.
"We're five points behind now, and if we don't make adjustments, are we going to accept a defeat so humiliated?"
The chic tone became more and more strict.
At this time, D'Antoni also became a little strict.
He also thinks so, he also thinks that this basketball with hope of winning should not be lost like this, and he thinks that changes must be made, and he can't be led away by the nose by the opponent like this.
Seeing D'Antoni nodding on the side, Xiao Xiao suddenly said: "Next, we must bring Stepambury on the field, only he can break the current deadlock." We need his experience, we need his technique. Although I know he has a lot of misunderstandings, the basketball court is where strength is all about, and I think Marbury is strong enough so he can play. And the salary he receives from the team, he has a responsibility to play for the team. He's also a New Yorker, and he's more obligated to win for the city. ”
Xiao said this generously and justly.
The players all nodded subconsciously, and D'Antoni also nodded subconsciously.
He nodded like this, and Xiao Xiao quickly said: "Since everyone agrees, since the head coach also agrees, then it is decided." Stephen, you take off your coat and replace Chris. I'm going to have a heads-up with LeBron James, and in between heads-ups, I need you to help me sort out the team, and as soon as I pass the ball, you're going to throw the basketball steadily into the basket. ”
"Good!" Stephen Marbury agreed, and his tone was still a little excited.
Stefamarbury hasn't played for a long time and now that he's finally back in action, he can't hide his excitement. Once, he thought that his love for basketball had disappeared, but since Xiao Shi arrived, the two of them often got together to study breakthrough skills, and he found that his love for basketball had always been there, but he was temporarily blinded by other negative feelings.
Drip!
With a whistle, the game resumed.
When Stephen Marbury returned to the court, the audience immediately erupted in boos.
No one would have thought that Stephen Marbury, who had been frozen for a long time, would suddenly appear at this time, and they had even forgotten that Marbury could still play. Isn't the team discussing how to buy out his contract for a sum of money slightly less than the amount of his contract?
Listening to the boos, Xiao Shi realized how much the fans in this city hated this guy who was originally called the Son of New York.
Xiao Xiao didn't want to understand how these old feuds were nurtured, he just knew that Stephen Marbury was a good player.
So, he walked over and said to Stephen Marbury, "Don't care about that, they'll cheer you on sooner or later."
With that, he turned around again and motioned to the fans not to boo. At the same time, he also took the initiative to raise his hands and applaud!
The fans at the scene were very puzzled when they saw Xiao Sa's move...... Why should Xiao Dash applaud this hateful fellow? But don't learn from Stephen Marbury, a terrible guy!!
