Chapter 486: Defensive Duel Offense
Drip!
Stan Van Gundy asked for a timeout, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, in fact, from the moment Yang Mo came on the court, he felt that the game seemed to be gradually out of his control. He must now make a targeted defense, and must not let Yang Mo lead the Knicks to play in shape, although they still maintain a large lead, but everyone knows how amazing the Knicks' combat effectiveness is once they soar.
"We're going to strategically give up some of our defense, and we're going to start with offense and resolutely bring down the Knicks. Ryan Anderson, you play power forward, Lewis, Vince Carter, you're swingmen, and Nelson, all five of you have to take each other down with your offense............"
Stan Van Gundy was in full swing with tactics here, but the Knicks were leisurely, and everyone was calm and relaxed, without the slightest hint of anxiety about failure. Yang Mo's return is undoubtedly a reassurance to the Knicks team, and they seem to have become accustomed to Yang Mo's performance of bringing them out of the quagmire. Therefore, at this time, they will not have the slightest worry at all, anyway, they have long been used to Super-Yang's last-minute performance to turn the tide.
In other words, as long as Yang Mo is still on the court, their confidence will always exist.
This is undoubtedly the ultimate expression of charisma as a star leader, and it is a remarkable achievement to be able to make his teammates trust themselves unconditionally in any difficult situation.
"The Magic's lead was only 16 points left, and Super-Yang came on for a little over a minute to get back five points." Collins commented, "I guess Stan Van Gundy must be terrified right now. If they are still killed by the Knicks with a lead of more than twenty points. So... It will not only push the super-yang of the return of the king to a legend. And at the same time nailed themselves to the pillar of shame. After all, the Magic team is far better than the Knicks. And... They also have home field advantage. ”
"If it's written according to a Hollywood script, then... The Magic will definitely lose tonight, because Super-Yang's return of the king drama has already made this game full of legends, so why not have a happy ending? Charles Barkley smiled: "As for the strength of the Magic team, I don't think it's too strong. Their biggest reliance is nothing more than Howard's strong containment on the inside, as well as many misplaced shooters on the outside, and Nelson, who is barely a master of chaos. ”
"Dwight is the No. 1 center in the league today. Lewis's oversized contract is a bit high-paying and incompetent, but his three-point shot is very, very difficult to defend. Vince Carter has lost the bounce ability of his youth, but his offensive skills have become more and more proficient. As for Nelson, he's an Eastern Conference All-Star guard. Besides, with a point guard lineup like the Knicks, they don't have the right to laugh at Nelson. Kenny Smith refuted Charles Barkley's argument almost point by point. He still thinks the Magic are strong.
"It's just strength on the books." Charles Barkley immediately corrected: "The Magic team has a lot of good scorers and good centers. But... They don't have a super-ace player who is the final word. Howard is good, but his ability to handle the ball is destined to be a tragedy. And the rest of the players, which one do you think can compare to Super-Yang, and which one can play against Super-Yang in attack and defense? Not really! A team that doesn't even have an ace core can only be regarded as a pseudo-strong team no matter what. ”
"So. Can you explain why the Pistons won that year? Kenny Smith directly gave an example: "The Pistons didn't have an ace core back then, and they didn't have an ace core, but they defeated the Lakers who had four ace cores to win the championship." ”
"Man, wake up, they can beat the Lakers because the Lakers have too many aces. There was internal resistance among them, and their ace core was mired in infighting and could not use their full strength. In such a situation. Of course, there is no doubt that you will lose. ”
"Whatever you say, it makes sense, your mouth is so powerful anyway." Kenny Smith shrugged his shoulders and gave up his argument with Barkley.
But Barkley was more serious at the first time, and chased after him: "Since you are not convinced, then, let's just bet that we are hungry and bet on who wins tonight." I bet on the Knicks, what about you? ”
As soon as Barkley proposed the gamble, Kenny Smith wilted directly, and he didn't want to make any bets with Barkley, especially related to Yang Mo. Because, whenever he was involved in a gamble with Yang Mo, he had never won, and he was insulted. The so-called once bitten by a snake for ten years is afraid of the well rope, he doesn't want to be mentally stimulated anymore.
Kenny Smith wilted and didn't dare to fight, and Barkley had no choice but to give up.
And by this time, the game has already begun.
When Yang Mo came on the court and saw the lineup of the Orlando Magic, he couldn't help but smile slightly. Then he turned his head to Wilt Chandler on the bench and said: "Prepare to warm up, and when there is a stoppage later, you will come on and replace Turyaf." ”
After explaining this, Yang Mo said to Jeffries again: "Rashad Lewis will be handed over to you, I don't want to see him throw in any threes, I believe you can do it." Show your fangs and show him your defenses. ”
"Okay, no problem." Jeffries nodded, quickly following Rashad Lewis. While other forwards are easily deflated against Lewis, who is almost 2.08m, Jeffries has no problem at all because he is taller and his defensive pressure is strong. In fact, his only drawback is that his body is a little thin, and this is not a problem against Lewis, who is not much stronger.
"Tony, I'll leave that Nelson to you. Let him shoot and never let him take a step inside the three-point line. ”
"Understood!"
"Turiaf, I'll leave that guy to you, remember, he's a pitcher."
"No problem, boss!"
"Milicic, you... The mission is not to let Howard dunk on your head. Can it be done? ”
"Yes."
After Yang Mo gave orders, he came to Vince Carter's side very simply. As soon as he went up. The deepest greetings that came to Vence Carter...... Boom! Boom! Boom!
The strongest body gives Vince Carter the most powerful impact, where can Vince Carter's old bones withstand the shaking of Yang Mo's level? At the moment, he retreated again and again, constantly dodging. However, it is a pity that Vince Carter's running ability is not outstanding at all, he has been the core of the ball since he entered the league, and he is not good at the work of running without the ball at all. And in the case that the legs and feet are not as good as Yang Mo. Where can he escape?
Vince Carter is equivalent to being restricted to death by Yang Mo, and the other players are no better than Vince Carter. Jeffries used his lean build to keep chasing Lewis, and Lewis couldn't get out of the open space. Nelson, on the other hand, couldn't move an inch under Tony Allen's beast-like aggressive defense, unable to move half an inch. And Anderson was even more uncomfortable by Turiaf's defense. The only thing that feels better is Howard on the inside, but... Nelson's ball couldn't pass in at all, and this guy's passing ability was only a little better than the previous Yang Mo, and he was helpless against the high lob at all.
In this case. Seeing the time fly by, Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines hurriedly shouted: "Hey, Dwight, block and dismantle, quickly block and dismantle." ”
When Howard heard this, he hurriedly ran from the restricted area to outside the three-point line. Hurriedly made a block for Nelson. Using this pick-and-roll, Nelson quickly broke through the box, but collided head-on with Milicic. Just as he was trying to change his direction and get rid of Milicic's defence, Tony Allen was already rushing to close up.
Seeing that he was about to be stealed, Nelson, who was sticky to the ball, had to throw the ball back. Pass it to Howard.
Howard received the ball and looked at the three-point line at his feet. A little stupid, he was about to break through, but he heard Stan Van Gundy yelling on the side: "Shoot, shoot, it's twenty-four seconds!" ”
As soon as he heard that it was about to be twenty-four seconds, Howard hurriedly started to shoot ......, but at the moment when he was about to shoot, a black shadow suddenly flew next to him...... Syllable! As soon as the basketball left his fingers, it was directly picked up by the palm of one hand.
Howard was stunned, and the figure reflected on his pupils at this time was like the golden-winged roc, tiger and tiger.
Soon, the shadow hit the ground and ran wildly towards the front.
Howard hurriedly turned back in pursuit, and only then did he see the back number of his jersey clearly, and then recognized Yang Molai. While desperately chasing after him, there was always a thought in his head: how did he appear? He's still defending Vince Carter, huh? Why did you suddenly burst out and take my shots?
Howard was originally slower than Yang Mo, and he was also dual-minded. Therefore, before half time, he was thrown three or four steps away, and when he desperately ran past the half, Yang Mo had already made a stop-and-go jump shot outside the three-point line...... Swish!
The basketball was crushed, and a crisp three-pointer turned the Magic's lead into 13 points. The previous Magic team thought that a lead of more than 20 points should be a good idea, but now 13 points have made them understand what it means to be in danger.
"New York!" After Yang Mo scored the goal, he shook his right fist fiercely, then propped up the jersey on his chest with both hands, pointed to those two words and shouted: "The winner tonight is New York, and no one in Orlando can stop it!" ”
Yang Mo's words were full of arrogance, and this arrogance soon drowned out the entire arena with boos. But again, the New York area was boiling, and countless New York fans who watched the game began to dance, some even leaving tears. They were so touched that they waited for almost a decade to finally re-emerge as a basketball star who could hold up the city of New York. Although when this guy first came here, everyone was questioning and slandering him, but now, he is a city hero. Although some guys still can't wipe their faces and declare that they hate Super-Yang and hate his arrogance, they have long recognized it to the extreme, and if fans from other places dare to provoke Super-Yang, they will definitely be the first players to rush to the front line to scold each other.
Amid the boos, Stan Van Gundy didn't ask for a timeout, still believing that the Magic should be doing offense, not defense. This idea is in stark contrast to Yang Mo, even if Yang Mo is more than 20 points behind, he still thinks that he has just started from defense. In a sense, the Knicks are more like the team that is ahead, after all, normally speaking, the team that leads will use defense to defend the city, and the team that is behind will use crazy offense to narrow the difference, and now the order is reversed.
When Nelson brought the ball to the frontcourt, Van Gundy immediately stood up excitedly, and then clapped his palms and kept urging the players, blocking and covering the run, under his shouting, the Magic team's half began to come alive a little, and the opportunities gradually came out. But... The problem arises, Nelson is not the kind of player who can pass the ball in time, his passing response arc is very slow, and he is suitable for the kind of passing that is stationary. But... The Knicks' defense is not vegetarian, and how could they possibly give Nelson a chance to pass the ball.
In this case, all the run-and-cover blocks become a mess, because there is no direct kill.
In the end, Nelson rushed to shoot the ball before the end of the twenty-four seconds, and the basketball missed as a result, and Yang Mo easily jumped up and picked up the rebound. Then slowly and leisurely instigated the fast attack.
When he took a step outside the three-point line in front of the court with the ball, he directly raised his right hand and shouted: "Guys, in order to prove that the last ball is not out of hand, please be ready to catch the ball at any time." This time, I'm going to make a great assist!! ”
Assists? The boss wants to play assists? Make no mistake, right? Is he going to bury the good momentum that he has built up so hard?
Almost every Knicks player has some bad guess in their mind. Tony Allen quickly reminded: "Hey, boss, you didn't watch the joke anymore, did you?" ”
Yang Mo shook his head with a serious face and said, "Repeat it again, please prepare everyone to receive a wonderful pass, this pass is very likely to make you on the top five goals tonight." Again, I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding! ”
