Chapter 553: Back-to-back fight against the stag
The Knicks have a 6-0 record, which is still second in the East. The No. 1 Celtics won the Suns at home today, the night the Knicks beat the Cavaliers, going 7-0 in the opening season. This pervert. The start was very good. The Celtics, who can win two consecutive championships, really can't be underestimated.
After the Knicks toughened the Cavaliers, they had to rush to Milwaukee non-stop, because the next game was back-to-back away games against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Knicks are in hot pursuit with the Celtics, and this game against the Bucks must be won as well.
Although the Bucks are not very strong, this season's Bucks have ushered in a big explosion of the best in their minds. That is, Andrew Bogut's outburst. This season was the highlight of Andrew Bogut, averaging 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.
Milwaukee fans feel like their spring has come. Andrew Bogut will lead the team to the next level.
But it turned out that they were overthinking. Andrew Bogut is the core of a team, the offensive power is insufficient, and the psychological element is even more serious. It's not mature enough at all, and if there is a star who can suppress Andrew Bogut, then Andrew Bogut is still very qualified as the team's starting center. Both offensively and defensively, Andrew Bogut can contribute.
Andrew Bogut is a very arrogant man, especially when he first entered the league, and it was clear that he had no one in sight of him in the draft.
The day before the 2005 draft, Andrew Bogut made wild claims that he would beat everyone else to become the top pick, and contemptuously asked everyone not to compare him to Australian predecessor Luke Longley.
When someone calls him "a strengthened version of Longley," the Bucks could draft Bogut with the No. 1 pick, and if so, he would set two records: He will become the fourth foreign No. 1 pick, and another college No. 1 pick in five years, Andrew Bogut was unhappy.
When it came to Longley, Andrew Bogut said dismissively: "He's a player, please don't mention him in front of me, it's unfair." My collegiate career in the United States was more prominent than any other Australian player, and I was very aggressive on the court, unlike Longley, who was slow on the court, and I was much better physically, with my shooting and my competitiveness. ”
When talking about North Carolina forward Marvin Williams, who competed with him for the top pick, Andrew Bogut also looked disdainful: "My vertical jump height is only 1 inch less than him, and you say that his motor cells are extraordinary, am I not like that?" ”
Although Andrew Bogut is not as unpopular as he was then, it is certainly not enough to be the core of the team and lead the swim too far.
In this game, the Knicks played against the Bucks.
Although it feels like the Knicks should be asking something, after all, the momentum of the 6-game winning streak is there. However, in fact, the whole Knicks team is very tired right now. Just went through a super war, almost exhausted all the strength, and now without a day off, another back-to-back, of course will be tired.
But it's no use complaining, the game has to go on.
The game between the Knicks and the Bucks, because the Knicks players are really a little tired. In the first half of the game, the Bucks' Andrew Bogut and Brandon Jennings played well, successfully allowing the team to establish an eight-point advantage.
The score on the court was 44:52.
Chen Jiyuan fought against this champion show who was earlier than him, and in the confrontation between the two people, Chen Jiyuan also discovered that this Andrew Bogut's strength was not bad. Although it is a bit overkill in the champion show. But in the 2005 draft, Andrew Bogut was certainly among the top picks.
By the second half, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks were on the full lineup, Andre Iguodala, Stephen Jackson, Sessions, Love and Chen Jiyuan. Thibodeau is trying to chase down the points at this time. It's best to be able to tie the score and then overtake it, and then in the last few minutes of the third quarter of the game, you can let the main players rest and then leave the body for the fourth quarter.
That's what Thibodeau envisioned, and then things really went in that direction.
At the beginning of the second half, the Bucks had the ball, and Brandon Jennings on the outside took the ball, and now the five people on the Bucks court are Andrew Bogut, Brandon Jennings, Charlie Bell, Eithan Ilyasova, and Luke Ridno.
After Brandon Jennings took the ball through the half, he and Andrew Bogut carried out a blocking and dismantling cooperation, Brandon Jennings's speed was still very fast, and he passed Sessions and ran inside with a single step of blocking and dismantling, and the Knicks changed their defense as soon as possible, Chen Jiyuan followed Brandon Jennings behind him, Brandon Jennings did not choose to pass, after rushing into the inside, he wanted a left-handed layup, Chen Jiyuan followed behind him, how could it be easy to let Brandon Jennings be so successful, However, Brandon Jennings is also very smart to use his body to separate Chen Jiyuan as much as possible, and then make a layup with a low hand with his left hand.
The difficulty of this ball is really a bit high. Although Chen Jiyuan didn't cover the ball, he didn't score the ball either. The ball went from the blue neck to the other side, and the coming Lefu just received the rebound.
Love threw the ball forward for the first time, however, the ball was not thrown very well, thanks to the time when Sessions ran to the front, Andrew Bogut had not yet passed the half, the gap between the two was still not down, Sessions waited for the ball, then jumped up and slapped the ball forward gently, and immediately accelerated forward again, and ran near the free throw line, an easy three-step basket, the layup was successful, Andrew Bogut and Sessions were a little far away, Although he wanted to jump up and make a big catch, it was obviously unrealistic, and in order to save his body, Andrew Bogut was not so dead as he was chasing. Let Sessions complete this fast break. 46:52。
The Bucks attacked, Brandon Jennings broke through with the ball this time, and then passed the ball to Charlie Bell, who received the ball, stepped forward, and then shot a big two-pointer. The ball pops out of the frame.
The rebound was in Charlie Bell's direction, but. Before Charlie Bell could get in front of him, Andre Iguodala intercepted the ball first, dribbled straight forward and ran forward. It's so fast, it's staggering.
However, the Bucks' defensive attitude is not so lazy, otherwise, they would not be able to make the playoffs.
Charlie Bale also ran with his head covered, trying to catch up with Andre Iguodala, while on the other side, Eisen Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings had already stepped back in time.
Brandon Jennings faced Andre Iguodala to defend his offense, while Eisen Ilyasova was on the other side to prevent the rest of the Knicks from cutting in.
Andre Iguodala came to the three-point line and ran into Brandon Jennings, who slowed down. He was about to stop the ball, but when Brandon Jennings' attention relaxed a little, Andre Iguodala suddenly accelerated again and rushed straight into the right side of Brandon Jennings.
Eisen Ilyasova saw Andrei Iguodala for the first time, and then rushed over to block Andrei Iguodala, but with this ball, Andrei Iguodala suddenly made a sudden stop-and-go jumper, which not only dodged Brandon Jennings behind him, but also made Eisen Ilyasova in front of him sigh at the ball.
A two-point jumper, ball in, 48:52,
With that goal, Andre Iguodala had two points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals.
The Bucks attacked again, and Brandon Jennings chose to break through himself this time, and then made a difficult layup, and the ball hit the board into the frame. 48:54。
The Knicks attacked again, Sessions held the ball, passed the ball Stephen Jackson gave, Stephen Jackson singled, took two steps with the ball, and was suddenly disturbed by Charlie Bell to interfere with the forward route, Stephen Jackson stopped the ball, and then gave the ball to Andre Iguodala, Andre Iguodala received the ball, and shot a three-point shot directly.
Charlie Bell stepped forward to interfere as well. But this three-pointer, Andre Iguodala still hit. 51:54。
The original difference of nearly double digits was smoothed out in minutes.
Andrew Bogut singled Chen Jiyuan with his back, and after two arches, a hook hand. It's a pity that the ball didn't go in.
The ball that bounced back happened to be taken by Chen Jiyuan.
After receiving the ball, Chen Jiyuan originally wanted to shake it for a long time, but Andrew Bogut next to him was very annoying and reached out to interfere with Chen Jiyuan's ball, Chen Jiyuan had no choice but to stabilize it first. Protect the ball.
Then the ball was passed to Sessions, who came to pick it up.
After Sessions dribbled through the half, he saw Andre Iguodala's vacancy and threw the ball directly into Andre Iguodala's hand, and Andre Iguodala shot a three-pointer in the left corner. There was no one around. The ball went into the basket again.
Another three-pointer. 54:54。
In such a short period of time, Andre Iguodala has scored eight points in a row. Instantly helped the team chase back the inferior point difference.
