"If we're going to win away from home against the team that is at the top of the league, we can't be distracted by the opposition's attack, keep your cool! Even if we are overtaken, at least we are not losing to ourselves. ”

Sloan's words made the players no longer panic, they were beaten by a wave of Knicks offensive and almost collapsed, but they are not a weak team, they are not so easy to beat, just like the Knicks can still fight back after 14 points behind, they can also do it.

The game resumed, Delong. Williams used his trademark spin to get past Ty. Lawson, who entered the paint area and faced Yao Ming with a lever to avoid the cover, played the basketball from a very small angle and made another foul on Yao Ming.

"I didn't touch him, I didn't foul!" Yao Ming heard the referee's whistle, holding his head in his hands, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Zhang Yu rushed to the referee, and the little rabbit was extremely dissatisfied with the referee's decision: "That ball shouldn't be a foul, they may only have body hair contact." ”

The referee has his own judgment and warns Zhang Yu's tone, and if he continues to complain, he will show a technical foul to make the little rabbit understand what it means to respect the referee.

D'Antoni can only replace Yao Ming with Birdman Anderson again, today the Jazz are obviously targeting Yao Ming instead of Zhang Yu, this is their experience as a Rockets sufferer, against a team with Yao Ming, making a small giant foul is the best choice, at a critical juncture, Delong. Williams accomplished that task for the team.

Sloan clapped his hands hard off the court, despite the fact that this season. Williams has a bit of a conflict with him, but the core is still trustworthy on the court.

Yao Ming's departure had a very big impact on the Knicks. ZHANG Yu and Delong. Williams began to score against each other, and the little fat man turned on his own offensive mode in the second quarter, using his height to beat Tylawson in a row. The latter was immediately overwhelmed.

Great. Lawson is a good fit for Rondo and Paul, who don't have a big difference in height, and his speed and strong body can be a good defensive effect for this type of star. But on Upper Delon. With point guards like Williams and Billups who have an absolute advantage in height, he has no more energy to spare.

Zhang Yu also beat Matthews after Yao Ming went off the court in the second quarter, and the undrafted pick's defensive ability was above the level, but he couldn't do anything against the bunny, whether it was Zhang Yu's rhythm change or using his speed and explosiveness to smash Huanglong. Matthews said that he couldn't prevent it, and he had a good experience of what it means to be exploded!

The half-time game ended with the score 40:46. Zhang Yu after Yao Ming went off the field, and Gerrard. Wallace closed the gap by another point.

Zhang Yu had 12 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half, and his breakthrough shot revitalized the team in the second quarter, making everyone forget about his aberrations in the first quarter.

Yao Ming, who played only six minutes in the first half, scored six points and three rebounds. Wallace had 8 points and Landry had 8 points.

Delong. Williams had 12 points and five assists, Boozer had 13 points and six rebounds, Oku had eight points and Kirilenko had five points.

Intermission. D'Antoni emphasized his team's rebounding in the locker room, with the Jazz having six fewer rebounds in the first half and four fewer in the more crucial frontcourt rebounds, each of which was an extra offensive opportunity for the team, with the Jazz leading them by six points with those four rebounds.

"If Yao isn't on the court, we're going to have to pick up the pace, they're one of the best teams at positional play, they have the league's best field defense. We can't go head-to-head with what they do best, they're afraid of speed. We'll use our speed to deal with them so they don't have time to get into place! ”

D'Antoni will inevitably mention "speed" in less than three sentences, these two words have been imprinted in the depths of his soul, and his requirements for his team are always speed first, this is a guy who is paranoid about "speed" to the extreme.

Sloan encouraged his players in the visiting dressing room to dare to shoot in the second half, they are not as good as others, and if you want to win, you have to see the stars play. Williams and Boozer must take responsibility, and only the two of them can play well to lead the whole team to take out the Knicks.

In the second half, Zhang Yu played Yao Ming first, they didn't know how long Yao Ming could stay on the field today, and they had to play Yao Ming more if they had the chance, Yao Ming, who basically didn't play much in the first half, was physically fine.

Oku defends Yao Ming behind him, and the Turks have the same defense against Yao Ming, which has been reflected in the playoffs in the first two seasons, and he and Boozer take turns to greet the little giants, making Yao Ming difficult every time he meets the Jazz.

Yao Ming squeezed back, Boozer didn't dare to come up this time, and D'Antoni partnered with Frye and Yao Ming in the second half, at this time Frye had pulled outside the three-point line, cleared the Jazz basket range, and created a one-on-one opportunity for Yao Ming.

Boozer hesitated outside for a long time, but he still didn't dare to let go of Frye, who had a very high three-point shooting rate, and sat back and watched Yao Mingqiang eat Oku to score a goal.

Yao Ming struggled to beat Oku and Boozer, but if no one came to cover it, the little giant sat in the penalty area little by little by relying on his weight, and his hook hands and jump shots were extremely high.

Sloan shouted a few words from the sidelines to Kirilenko, who started in the second half, and told the Russians to wrap Yao Ming, and now only his opposite player Gerrard was on the field. Wallace has the lowest three-point shooting rate, and the Knicks' three-point shooting rate this season is 34.9%, which is not low but by no means high.

At 6 minutes and 20 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 46:51, and the Knicks chased the difference to within five points.

Sloan noticed that the mustache on the other side seemed to be learning from him, and Sir released Gerald. Wallace shoots from the outside, and the Knicks put Kirilenko on the outside, both of whom are excellent defensively, but their shooting skills are mediocre and their shooting consistency is insufficient.

The Jazz veteran was furious and saw Kirilenko miss two consecutive three-point misses, so he directly replaced the Russian with three-point shooter Korver.

D'Antoni was a little proud, he used this trick to disgust Rivers in the playoffs last season, and now Sloan really can't stand it and takes the lead in making substitution adjustments.

The mustache lifted Zhang Yu to the third position, and used Marcus . Thorton replaces Steven Gerrard. Wallace. Now they have three batteries on the outside line, which can give Yao Ming more support on the inside line.

Zhang Yu confronted Korver. The advantage is even greater, and the three-point shooter has no regard for speed, explosiveness, agility, strength, height...... Almost none of them can take advantage of Zhang Yu, and if the little rabbit wants to defend him, he can completely lock up this white shooter with superb three-point shooting skills.

Boozer asked for the ball on the inside at a critical moment, and the Jazz ran a no-ball cover tactic, which made the inside line misplaced, and Yao Ming changed the defense of the old enemy Boozer.

Zhang Yu didn't think it was good. This ball Jazz obviously did it intentionally, they wanted to beat Yao Ming again, and the little giant had already scored 6 points in half a quarter. Extremely efficient.

Yao Ming defended Boozer, and the anti-bone boy squeezed twice in the low post, naturally he couldn't squeeze Yao Ming, who was like a giant.

It didn't matter if Boozer couldn't squeeze it, he immediately turned around. made a hard bow to Yao Ming......

"Let's go down!"

Yao Ming is very careful about proportionality in this ball. Seeing the moment Boozer turned around and broke through to shoot, he slapped the basketball out!

The referee did not blow for a foul, and Yao Ming's action was clean.

Boozer scolded in his heart, this is really a loss for his wife and a soldier!

Yao Ming was obviously prepared, not only did he not fall for it, but he also slapped Buzeer.

Brewer received the fan basketball at the free throw line, and the crippled hand did not hesitate, and immediately rushed to the basket when he got the basket, and in front of him was the little giant Yao Ming......

"You go down for me too!"

Yao Ming shouted again. The Jazz are the team he hates the most, not to mention that he was targeted so badly today. I've been holding my breath for a long time.

Brewer wanted to dodge the block in the air, and then make Yao Ming foul, but unfortunately he overestimated his ability, he was not a little rabbit, he could dodge and move in the air, his range of action in the air was small, and the concealment was low, Yao Ming, who had been in a hundred battles, was not deceived at all, and he slapped Brewer, who was on the layup, and fanned the ball down!

"You are the Great Wall of China!"

"You're a Big Mac!"

"Chinese monsters!"

The adrenaline of New York fans at the moment was stimulated by Yao Ming's two domineering blocks, and Madison Square Garden reverberated with overwhelming cheers for a while.

This time it was Zhang Yu who got the basketball, the little rabbit turned and ran, and the Knicks immediately launched a fast attack......

Delong. Williams and Korver returned to defense, but the Knicks had more people involved in the fast break, Zhang Yu, Tylawson, Marcus. Thorton, the Knicks' three-line fast break was simply unstoppable by only two people, Zhang Yu flashed Korver's easy tomahawk split, showing his style as a dunk king.

The score was 48:51, and after the Knicks counterattacked this time, the difference was only three points, and Sloan could only call a timeout, and they were about to collapse by Yao Ming's two big hats.

"Don't panic, after the pause, we continue to impact Yao Ming, when people are most excited, it often means destruction! Look at the guys in this stadium, they're crazy right now, they don't think about it, and we can take out their interior pillars with one more foul. ”

Sloan remained calm, whether he was right or not, a coach should have such a bearing that Taishan collapsed and remained unchanged.

The Jazz players were stabilized by the head coach's calm expression, and if they think about what the coach said, there is really no problem, they have done a good job before, as long as they succeed in causing the little giant to commit a foul, he will sit on the bench for another quarter, what is it to get a few blocks?

After the restart of the game, Delong. Williams broke through with the ball, Boozer pulled out to block and the Jazz replayed what they do best.

Frye didn't choose to delay the little fat man's breakthrough, he chose to follow Boozer.

Delong. Williams gets rid of Ty. Lawson made it inside, and it was Yao Ming who defended head-on.

Yao Ming was confident at this time, and immediately put on the little fat man, and put his hands on the other party's head, as long as the other party shot under the basket, he must look good.

Delong. Williams made a pass from behind, and the target was Boozer.

Yao Ming and the Knicks players all looked at Boozer, Delon. Williams was just a passing feint, the basketball went around behind his back and retracted it, unhurriedly followed Yao Ming into a reasonable collision area, jumped in the air with his back to Yao Ming, and after the two made contact, the little fat man turned back to look at the moon and threw the basketball high to the basket......
