Chapter 228: Come to New York

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 74-72, and the Knicks trailed by 2 points.

Howard walked to the free throw line in the second half of the third quarter until Zhang Yu fouled four times, and D'Antoni quickly replaced the little ancestor.

It's okay to make your own claims, but you can't "cut Huo" and cut addiction? It is estimated that if he doesn't replace the little rabbit that has been killed, this master will cut himself down first.

When Zhang Yu got off the court, the eyes of the monster looking at him were full of resentment, during this time, his number of free throws had risen to 16, but he only hit 7, this free throw shooting rate was miserable!

Big Van Gundy also replaced Howard and two main forwards in the last two minutes of the third quarter, and the game entered the second team battle.

The Knicks can achieve today's record, except for Zhang Yu's table, which is inseparable from their second echelon.

Little Potato, Crawford, Ah Q, Jeffries, Anderson, the Knicks are now on the second lineup, and their offensive power is stronger than the main force of many teams in the league.

Magic's second team: Anthony. Johnson, J. J. Reddick, Contney. Lee, Tony. Barty, Massin. Gortat.

The second line-up of both teams was evenly matched, although Connett. Lee has a good schedule this season, but the other players are much worse than the Knicks.

At 9 minutes and 55 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score had become 78:80, and the Knicks led by two points, and today's Knicks' bench lineup played the role of savior.

New York's bench lineup is outstanding thanks to owner Dolan's grievances, if you go back further. The real thanks are actually the New York fans. The tickets they bought were the most expensive in the league, and even the food in the stadium was much more expensive than the other teams. There are also goods in specialty stores, which are even more expensive. Especially things related to Zhang Yu, which can make the pocket money of primary school students not enough to spend.

New York fans describe James. Dolan, just one word: "black", two words: "profiteer!" ”

I guess three words are: "vampire".

Marbury didn't trade out in the end this year, and their salary is still the best in the league, and the salary of more than 100 million has made many managers of small city teams look at it, and they have the urge to immediately pack up their baggage and come to New York to kneel and beg for work.

Before the closing date of the transaction. After all, the secret negotiations between New York and the Pistons about Iverson were not settled.

The Pistons wanted New York's '09 first-round pick in exchange for the Nuggets, but the Knicks were reluctant to do so, and the deal ended up not agreeing on this point.

Back to the game. Big Van Gundy was disappointed with his team's substitutions and brought on Howard and Lewis in the 10th minute.

After Howard came on the court, he seized the opportunity to beat Birdman Anderson and scored points in two consecutive rounds. Let D'Antoni immediately replace Jeffries with David Lee. Move the Birdman to position four.

David Lee had four fouls on his back, and Howard was still playing hard in the low post, hoping to get him down completely.

Big Van Gundy replaced Howard this time, just to let him kill, although the free throws were too bad, but it was better than the bench not scoring points, even if Howard couldn't get the free throw, at least he earned a foul.

Anderson was fouled just three times. Howard's strong kills were taken over by the Birdman.

D'Antoni took a pinch on Howard during this time because the Magic didn't have a full lineup on the court.

After Howard missed consecutive free throws. I guess I was embarrassed to be embarrassed, and finally stopped insisting on strong attacks, and transferred the ball to the outside after attracting defense.

JJ Redick was not very famous at this time, just an outside shooter, the purest kind, with poor ball-holding breakthrough ability, although his projection ability was outstanding, but he was too short and easy to be limited by defenders.

Even though the shooting guard who was in the air at Duke University plummeted to the NBA and didn't have any chances for two years in a row, you can't let him shoot open threes, it's fatal!

JJ Redick took advantage of his erratic movement to receive consecutive shots from Howard.

Crawford's defense is too watery, his wave throws are much better now, at least he can pass the ball in the face of the bag, but the defense is still very bad, mainly because the defensive attitude is still problematic. Fortunately, during this time, the offensive firepower of the Knicks bench was also ferocious, and the two teams launched a battle of points.

It wasn't until the 7th minute and 20 seconds that D'Antoni replaced Zhang Yu and replaced Ah Q.

The mustache asked Zhang Yu to simply play the No. 3 position and go to defend Tekoglu in the opposite position.

The Knicks' on-court lineup became: Nate Robinson, Crawford, Zhang Yu, Anderson, David Lee.

After Zhang Yu came up, he continued to defend Turkoglu, and now the score is 83:84, and the Knicks have helped their main players to overtake the score, if they still lose, it will not be a problem for their teammates CBA.

Turkoglu has 18 points and 6 assists, compared to Zhang Yu's current 25 points and 6 assists, except that he is slightly inferior in scoring and organizational.

"I said, are you interested in coming to our team? We'll have plenty of room for next year. Zhang Yu began to fire the cannon again, this is the rhythm of packing up the monster and the agent together.

"Can you give me an annual salary of 10 million?"

Zhang Yu didn't expect that his trash talk would get a response from the other party, and he was stunned for a moment.

Tekoglou immediately broke through with the ball, despite his height, the dribble was really good, and he cleanly passed Zhang Yu, and then made a mid-range pull-up jumper to turn his score into 20 points.

"Damn, this guy has such a high IQ, and he still plays this set?" Zhang Yu felt that he had been slapped in the face, and even he himself had such plans.

"Little one, I knew you had a tough mouth." When Tekoglu returned to the defense, he also sprinkled another handful of salt on Zhang Yu's face.

Tekoglu's move angered Zhang Yu, and on the offensive end, he used his speed to force a breakthrough, made a difficult drifting shot in the low post, dodged Lewis, who helped defend him, and scored his 27th point with an ultra-difficult shot between the opposing two.

"I'll leave you with no time for the rest of the day, you can try." Zhang Yu continued to use trash talk at Tekoglu.

Turkoglu was not fooled, if Kobe Bryant, knowing that the other party was trying to provoke him, he would immediately bukkake Zhang Yu to fight back. However, the Turk only feigned a singles, and finally passed an air relay from Howard, allowing Warcraft to score his 23rd point.

Zhang Yu was uncomfortable enough, it was the first time he had encountered such a cunning opponent.

The Knicks attacked, Zhang Yu turned around and used his speed to break through the tall Turkoglou, and in the face of JJ Redick's defense, he scored two more points with a strong shot.

JJ Reddick's height of 190cm makes him really no threat even if he is in a bag.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Big Van Gundy immediately replaced JJ Reddick with Petrus and replaced all the main lineup.

The score was 87:88, and the Magic were still one point behind.

In the fourth quarter, the game was fiercely competitive, and the two teams chased each other, and the difference in points alternated.

At 3:15, the score became 93:92 again, and now the Knicks were one point behind, and the mustache called a timeout.

"Back on the court, we're fouling! Which of you has committed a number of fouls, you know in your own mind. I don't need to say much about what to do when I get on the field. We're targeting the big guy, remember, don't make me stupid and offend someone else. After the mustache finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Zhang Yu, which means that you have already committed four crimes, so don't follow him.

Zhang Yu's several strong shots in the fourth quarter are now being replayed on TV, which is extremely difficult, but they all go in.

Barkley could also see this in the live broadcast room, and said: "The little rabbit can still shoot in the face of multiple blocks, his ability is very impressive, even if your defensive routine is all right, you can't stop it." ”

Kenny. Smith also said: "Superstars are like that, no matter how difficult the ball is, as long as it is given to him, it will become easy and smooth. I said superstars, right? That's right, he already is. ”

Barkley gave a lewd look: "Even if it is, he's the youngest of the superstars." ”

Kenny. Smith laughed, "Old man, you say so, beware of the little rabbit biting you." ”

The two teams returned to the court, the Knicks had to attack first, and they only arranged defensive tactics for this timeout, and if "chopping" was also a defensive tactic, then their coach finally called a timeout for defense.

The Knicks still play pick-and-roll, and when they don't have a fast break, they are star singles in addition to blocking.

Zhang Yu followed David Lee's cover and burst in, this time he was going to go to the inside line to have a look, he hadn't seen Howard for a long time.

Howard only felt that his eyes blinked, and Zhang Yu actually got into the inner line.

"Chinese rabbits still dare to come in?" Howard felt that he was quite majestic under the basket today, and whoever came in couldn't please him in front of him, this is dominance.

Zhang Yu didn't know that the monster was stinky in his heart, he only knew that Howard's footsteps were a beat slower this time, and his steps were not good, so he immediately decided to change the "split" in the "breakthrough ball" to a dunk.

After winning the slam dunk contest, Zhang Yu's desire for slam dunk suddenly increased, although it was still less than other stars, but it was not as painful as a slam dunk in a game.

Zhang Yu suddenly accelerated, and he burst into the basket in two big steps.

Howard slowed down and chased after him, screaming in his heart that it was not good.

In this ball, Howard followed behind, and Zhang Yu really had to dunk to ensure that he was not blocked. If he chooses to go to the basket, Howard steps on it and can slap the ball away.

Zhang Yu kicked hard with his left leg and jumped on one leg for a quick dunk, which had nothing to do with the excitement, and was completely a choice to avoid blocking.

But New York fans don't care about this, watching Zhang Yu's slam dunk, no matter how ordinary it is, it is also a slam dunk, which is extremely rare, and they immediately sent the warmest cheers to their own core.

Barkley saw Zhang Yu's dunk and couldn't help laughing: "This dunk of the little rabbit is not brilliant or violent, I call it 'cookie dunk', simple and simple, just score." ”

Kenny. Smith added: "He's dunked on Howard's head, which is a plus a lot. ”

Big Van Gundy was very dissatisfied with Howard's defense this time, and shouted at Howard off the court: "Concentrate on it!" (To be continued......)
