Chapter 121: Betting
The Knicks' two interior defensive bench players didn't feel much of it before, but now that Wade came up, he could immediately feel their slowness.
The overindulgent private life and casual training attitude made the Knicks, the two insiders with big contracts, slow and stupid, like two stupid bears.
Wade broke through twice in a row, both of them leaked, and the opponent made an easy layup.
D'Antoni was angry off the court, and the combined salary of these two guys was more than 10 million, which was enough in exchange for an All-Star insider. Thinking of Thomas, who offered them a contract, D'Antoni began to hate the general manager who always dictated his formation.
In the 7th minute and 30 seconds, D'Antoni, who couldn't bear it, returned to the main lineup, and the Knicks' defense was instantly improved.
D'Antoni has been criticized for his poor defense, but the Suns' defense has always been in the middle of the league, which is not very bad. Although Nash's personal defensive ability is not good, he has a positive defensive attitude. Add to that the fact that they have two top defenders on the perimeter, Marion and Ragabel, and Dior on the inside is also above average. The real weak link in their defense is not Nash, but Xiao Si on the inside, the poor defensive attitude of the All-Star big forward, which makes the Suns always travel inside.
Zhang Yu didn't score during Wade's time on the court, but he really felt a little bullying and afraid of the hard.
This time the Knicks attacked, Zhang Yu held the ball, David Lee came out to block and dismantle, Zhang Yu broke through Wade and did not go deep inside, attracted the defense and then hit the ball on the ground, assisted David Lee to cut the dunk, and the fifth assist arrived.
Under Zhang Yu's organization and scheduling, the distribution of the Knicks' ball is very reasonable, the players' scores are in full bloom, and Zhang Yu's assists are rising, although the score has not risen much, but the assists are not bad
Wade was still fighting alone, and not long after Beasley came up, he was beaten down by Jeffries for an offensive foul.
Beasley was depressed, the reason why Jeffries's defense was okay was because he had a unique skill of making fouls, Beasley's explosive style of play, under the defense of this old fritter, it seemed to be stuck in the quagmire, and he couldn't make it out of his body.
When Wade saw Beasley's tragedy, he immediately got a hint and wanted to draw a scoop according to the gourd and make an offensive foul for Zhang Yu, who is also a rookie.
The Flash miscalculated and was brutally attacked by the cunning Zhang Yu, although he successfully deceived an offensive foul, but Zhang Yu's iron elbow really hit him in the chest!
"Damn, it's a loss!"
Wade clutched his chest, almost being beaten out of breath, if it weren't for the fact that his muscle strength was much stronger than Antonio of the University of Memphis, maybe he was also beaten by Zhang Yu's iron elbow this time.
Zhang Yu's previous breakthrough, Wade blocked in front of Zhang Yu in advance, wanting to make Zhang Yu's dribble collision. Zhang Yu has actually been tricked, he really can't brake the brake, as long as he hits Wade, it is a foul. However, Zhang Yu is willing to suffer, since he can't run away from fouling, he must hit hard to get back to his roots.
This is Zhang Yu's second foul, which is nothing for a guard. Seeing Wade's grinning appearance, he smiled happily, this foul is worth it!
Wade fans who watched the live broadcast of the game in China watched the slow-motion replay, and many of them suddenly became "Yu Hei" after Zhang Yu's foul.
48-38, after the Knicks made this mistake, they still led the opponent by 10 points.
In order to limit Wade's breakthrough, during this time, the Knicks began to shrink inside, and the effect of breaking through inside was not good, Wade tried a three-pointer, but unfortunately did not score.
The Knicks grabbed the rebound and quickly fought back, and Zhang Yu finally passed to Crawford, who also missed a three-point attempt.
D'Antoni replaced Crawford at 3:55 in the second quarter, and once the nerve knife was not accurate, it was his own side that was killed first.
James Jones is at the peak of his career this year, Crawford missed two three-point shots, and Jones has made 5 of 6 three-point shots today, without his three-point support, the Heat would have lost the game long ago.
With two three-pointers, Jones rewrote the difference between the two teams to 48:44.
Zhang Yu didn't score in the second quarter since Wade came on the court, and Wade unconsciously relaxed his defense against him. Zhang Yu slowly dribbled to the front court, pretending to look for a passing route outside the three-point line, Wade didn't care, Zhang Yu suddenly raised his hand and hit a cold arrow, Wade didn't even have time to reach out to block, looking back, the basketball had been hollowed into the net!
Zhang Yu scored 15 points, shooting 2 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 5 two-pointers, and 3 of all three free throws, with a very high shooting rate.
The difference between the two teams became 7 points, Zhang Yu's three-point shot stabilized the morale of the army, and the Knicks could let go again.
At halftime, Zhang Yu played the second quarter, and his count rose to 15 points and 6 assists, and the Knicks also led the opponent by 8 points at 56:48 into the second half.
In the second half, Crawford convulsed again in the second half of the third quarter, hitting two consecutive three-pointers to re-extend the gap between the two teams to 12 points.
The morale of the Heat team was hit hard, Jones was closely guarded by Wallace in the second half, and there was no longer the hot hand of the first half, and he missed three points several times, and the gap between the two teams widened.
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks have led the Heat by 18 points at 78:60, and the winner has been decided!
Zhang Yu played five minutes in the fourth quarter, and after the difference between the two teams reached 20 points, the Heat replaced Wade, who had already scored 31 points, and announced that the game went into garbage time.
D'Antoni also replaced the main team, and Zhang Yu had 20 points and 10 assists at this time, a beautiful double-double.
This is already a very good number for a rookie's first game, and the fans in the audience gave a warm applause to this new core who played well when Zhang Yu left the game.
Beasley was still on the court, and today Tanhualang was plagued by a foul crisis and only played for more than ten minutes, and the coach of the Hot Team didn't want his count to be too ugly, otherwise the media would definitely criticize him after the game. Although it is also inevitable to criticize the number of jΓΉ at this time, it is less criticism if it can be less
Beasley brushed his score to 10 points in the last quarter, but compared with Zhang Yu's 20+10, it still looked bleak!
This college star, who was once no less than Zhang Yu, met his rookie wall as soon as he entered the NBA, which seemed too difficult for him.
"Don't care about the media, I know your strength."
Seeing Beasley's disappointed expression, Zhang Yu surprisingly encouraged the old rival after the game, and made a request to exchange jerseys.
Beasley was surprised by this, and even wondered if this Chinese had some conspiracy? was stunned for a while, and then took off the jersey to exchange.
Zhang Yu's move almost made Wade unable to get off the stage, because the Flash was about to ask Zhang Yu to exchange jerseys.
However, Wade is an old man after all, in this case, he reacted very quickly, directly crossed Zhang Yu, and exchanged jerseys with Crawford behind Zhang Yu, without making a fool of himself!
"Damn, the Chinese stinky boy didn't mean it, did he?"
Wade thought with some anger in his heart, and then shook his head, putting aside inconsequential thoughts. He's thinking more now is putting pressure on the team to trade him for a qualified helper next summer, rather than fiddling with a scout.
If you want to rebuild through the draft, unless you can select a player as good as Zhang Yu, you can still trade ready-made stars to achieve quick results. He lost so many games last year, and it looks like he will lose again this year, and the Flash is completely tired of the word "losing" in his heart!
In the post-match press conference, the damned Sabi asked Zhang Yu another question that made him angry.
"You've been avoiding a head-to-head confrontation with Wade tonight, are you scared? Some fans think that your cowardly personality is not suitable for the NBA, and it will be difficult for you to adapt to the competition between NBA men, what do you think? β
"What kind of player is a man?"
When Sabi heard this, of course, he was embarrassed to mention Kobe's name, and suddenly he was inspired and said: "An excellent Chinese once said, 'I will never say that I am the number one in the world, but I will never admit that I am the second!'" I think that's what makes you a man. β
Zhang Yu was so angry that he choked, this bastard was too immoral, and directly took out Bruce Lee's words to squeeze him, so that he couldn't talk for a while, and the reporters in the press conference laughed, ready to see Zhang Yu's jokes.
"Can anyone sue me for Kobe Bryant and James' first season?"
Zhang Yu hesitated a little, but when he saw the reporters waiting to see his jokes, the string called "reason" suddenly snapped! He asked the reporters who mocked him.
The laughter of the reporters was stagnant, some people were confused, some people immediately used their laptops to check the information, and soon the New York media told Zhang Yu the answer.
James is 20+5+5+2, and Kobe Bryant didn't have enough playing time in his first year and couldn't take it at all.
Zhang Yu shook his head, with a disdainful look, which made Sabi and Raki in the audience half angry.
"Where's Jordan?"
Zhang Yu continued to ask, and everyone was shocked! What is this for?
"28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.3 steals while shooting 51 percent from the field."
The New York reporter had already guessed what Zhang Yu was going to do, and directly broke out the detailed number, hoping that Zhang Yu would calm down because of this.
But Zhang Yu is young and vigorous, how can he stand such a radical method? The other party even took out Bruce Lee, it's not his own face problem, unless he doesn't have the strength, now that he has the strength, he can't retreat! As soon as he retreated, he lost the face of the Chinese
"Mr. Bruce Lee is right, I won't admit that I'm second, so I'm going to set a goal for myself, the first two are obviously too difficult, Jordan is what I want to achieve."
As soon as Zhang Yu's voice fell, the audience was in an uproar!
Sabi really wants to give Zhang Yu an old punch, is this still low? But then he laughed happily, feeling that this Chinese was not as shrewd as he looked, and he was so easily fooled.
Zhang Yu was also snickering in his heart, and he didn't say that he would exceed Jordan's first season.
Jordan was 21 years old in his first year, and he was only 18 years old, even if his number was not as good as Jordan's in the end, as long as it was about the same, no one would be embarrassed to laugh at him with this. In fact, he is still comparing the first two, just bringing out Jordan can make these guys who see their own jokes more disgusting. As long as he surpassed James in his first season, the Yankees were more disgusting than eating half a pound of flies.
However, seeing Sabi's smugness, he felt that this was far from enough, and his heart was ruthless, and he continued: "You are Sabi of the 'Los Angeles City Times', right? I've read your report, and you don't think I'll be able to score 40 points in my first season, right? β
Sabi was a little stunned when he heard this, he did say it, but it was after the Olympics, and now he is not so sure.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Yu added fire and continued: "Let's make a bet, just bet that I will get a single game of 50+ before the end of the regular season this season, do you dare to bet?" β
Sabi hesitated for a moment, quickly flipped through the memories in his head, and found that no player in the entire history of the NBA has scored 50+ under the age of 20, and Zhang Yu is only a few months away from being 19 years old, this is too big, right?
"Bet! What is the stake? β
"The bet is ten Nyorai Divine Palms, and as for what the Nyorai Divine Palm is, you can ask Buckley, and he will be happy to tell you."
