Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Expectation of the Twin Guards

In this game, the Knicks lined up the starting lineup that the media expected:

Organizing guard Jeremy Lin, shooting guard Byron Davis, small forward Anthony, power forward Stoudemire, and center Chandler are the Knicks' strongest lineup to date, and a $100 bill can fill the entire basketball court.

And the Raptors fielded a weird starting lineup: Spanish guard Calderon, swingman DeRozan, James Johnson, Amir Johnson, Gray. There is no Brazilian Leandro Barbossa, their regular starter.

Barbossa was the best sixth man when he was with the Spurs, but it was the star-studded Spurs, and Ginobili was on the bench. Barbossa's starter has been almost unbeatable since he was traded to the Suns, and this time Raptors coach Dwayne Casey will have something strange about Barbossa!

Seeing that the opponent's starting lineup was different from what he had inferred, Wang Xiaomu put away his mind of going through the motions and paid close attention to the situation on the field, it seems that someone wants to challenge the unspoken rules of star-making in the league.

The head coach of the Raptors, Dwayne Casey, is also a legend, who was banned by the NCAA for five years and was also the head coach of the Japanese national men's basketball team. Casey is also a championship coach, having been an assistant coach to the Mavericks when they defeated the Heat in the Finals in 2011.

In short, Wang Xiaomu felt the feeling of the monster cracking its mouth and revealing its fangs.

"Viewers, welcome to New York Sports, where we are now broadcasting for you the six-game winning streak between the New York Knicks and the Raptors. First of all, we would like to congratulate Jeremy Lin on being named the Eastern Conference Player of the Year last week. He was named the best player in the East and West along with Thunder's Russell Westbrook, while Jeremy Lin led the league with 29.3 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game, while becoming the first player in NBA history to score at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his first four games as a starter. "If it weren't for the fact that the game was about to start and George from New York Sports still had a lot of stats to stick to Jeremy Lin, the NBA's data flow pundits would have had some inexplicable statistical methods.

Since the game was played in Canada, Canadian TV also sent a luxurious broadcast lineup, and even they integrated beautiful elements into the game commentary.

Probably because the commentator can only show the upper body, the commentator selected by the Canadian National Sports Channel belongs to the type that can kill the audience in seconds just by relying on the waist and above. Casey Trapp was originally the host of a variety show, and she has a pair of extremely developed haode... But she unbuttoned the first button of her shirt, the greatness on her chest was about to come out under the wrapping of the white shirt, the charming collarbone and the tender white neck murdered countless eyeballs, and the majestic pair of double~peak waved with her breathing and arm movements......

may have been snatched away by this beauty on the sidelines, and the first opening performance of the Knicks stars was a big disappointment.

Jeremy Lin gave Xiao Si a lob and threw the ball directly out of the bottom line, but fortunately, the referee gave a step and thought that Raptors Gray had a choke lock.

The camera shows the head coach of the Raptors, Dwayne Casey, who is still and looks motionless.

Serve and fight again, the Knicks still poked Xiao Si at this point, and the healthy Xiao Si also seemed to want to be powerful, and he picked up 3 interior defenders of the Raptors in a row. The ball was plucked several times by everyone on the basket, but unfortunately, Zuihou was dialed out of the bottom line by Xiao Si himself.

But the referee deliberated for a long time and awarded the ball to the Knicks.

Seeing this slightly controversial decision, the head coach of the Raptors turned out to be still plain and unhurried.

It's a little interesting, Wang Xiaomu touched his beard stubble and began to pay attention to this opponent.

It's a pity that Stoudemire couldn't score this goal again, and this thing is like a traitor to the Knicks, standing on the court to protect the opponent.

However, it is still early to give Xiao Si the infamy of a basketball black hole, after all, the game has just begun.

But before Wang Xiaomu put down the water cup in his hand, Xiao Si actually knocked the opponent's player who received the ball to the ground with a direct action in defense.

This time, Stoudemire, who wore large black-rimmed glasses, became the focus of attention.

All the commentators began to make a fuss about Xiao Si, who had made a comeback.

"It looks like the big man of the Knicks needs to find a good feeling for the game, and he spends too much time not playing basketball." Local Toronto media quipped.

Soon, the media discovered that Xiao Si was not the only one who was out of state.

Anthony saw the opportunity and made a quick stop jump shot, but the ball was not next to the basket at all, a three-no-stick with too much force, which is uncommon in the history of melon's NBA conquest;

Byron Davis tried to break through from the baseline, but was directly pressed out of the baseline by the Raptors' big men, and the bearded man wanted to pass the ball to his teammates in a panic, but it went directly into the hands of the opposing player;

Jeremy Lin was even more miserable, dribbling the ball directly into the arms of Spaniard Calderón.

Calderon will naturally not refuse this kind of upside-down gift package, and directly dribble to kill the Knicks blue line, and the Knicks who can't catch up can only watch the opponent make a two-handed dunk performance in his basket.

The Raptors seem to have tasted the sweetness of this offense, playing a 10-0 run led by international guard Calderon.

Wang Xiaomu didn't expect his side to be defeated, so he quickly chose to pause and say to these guys.

"Head, it feels a little strong. It's like finishing Liliang training, and it's hard to grasp your Liliang. Xiao Si, who played the worst, hurriedly explained to Wang Xiaomu. After all, the few balls he scored were missile scatters that almost made Toronto fans laugh out loud.

The other guys nodded their heads in agreement.

"It feels okay when I make a move, but it's always a lot of energy." Anthony also hastened to explain his mistake.

"I wanted to stop, but I couldn't." Jeremy Lin also defended his low-level mistakes.

"Alright, let's adjust our form on defense. Choke the opponent's neck first, and don't let the opponent toss under the basket again. After listening to the complaints, Wang Xiaomu could only comfort these guys like this, it turned out that the effect of the medicine he put in the wine was so good that it made these guys lose their judgment of their body and feel.

Coach Wang, who suffered the consequences, patted everyone's buttocks and instructed everyone to get as close to the basketball as possible before shooting.

The Knicks, who returned to the court, relied on boxing champion Chandler to pick up the rags under the basket and scored 7 points. The rest of the crowd is still looking for their familiar shots.

Well, no one came to a few sets of bench presses at halftime! Wang Xiaomu even had the mind to let these guys bring sandbags on the field.

Naturally, the Knicks' wave shot drew unanimous ridicule from the Doron multimedia.

"Oh my God, this is a team with a six-game winning streak, and they used to play against elementary school students." The beautiful reporter of the Canadian National Sports Channel shook her chest for a while, which made the mouths of the other announcers in the vicinity dry.

At 16:7, the Knicks went into the next timeout with a nine-point humiliation.

"Rhythm, understand? Jeremy, you're about to be taken to the ditch by Calderon! Wang Xiaomu was extremely dissatisfied with the team's current offensive organization, Jeremy Lin was completely suppressed by the opposing organization's defenders, and even stumbled to pass the ball to Anthony, not to mention others, having a ball for Chandler was like testing the boxing king's muscle strength, allowing him to take the ball between two players.

Jeremy Lin, who was sprayed BB by the coach for a while, was also very depressed. For him, who still lacks experience in the NBA, every defender is different. And Calderón, who has a lot of experience in international matches, clings to him like a slurry, sticking to himself, making him feel like he is stuck in the mud and can't extricate himself. So much so that it was difficult for Jeremy Lin to catch the ball, and even harder to pass it to others after getting the ball. He even wanted to suggest that the head coach let him switch places with Davis.

Unexpectedly, head coach Wang Xiaomu's words pushed him to the cusp.

I saw that Coach Wang Da said very seriously to the others: "Remember, our team has no shortcomings at present, even if it loses, it can't lose the routine, the organization guard is currently not playing well, but he has to play badly, and the offensive and defensive conversion must be handed over to him as soon as possible." ”

In Wang Xiaomu's opinion, the enhanced version of Jeremy Lin that has been transformed is enough to be a dual-energy guard.

As the name suggests, a two-way guard is a player who can dribble and shoot and score, and can be at home in both playmaking and shooting guards.

At present, there is still a market for the NBA's traditional organizational guards, and Kidd and Nash are the most traditional representatives. Including Calderon, who defended Jeremy Lin. Their favourite is a teammate who relies on his teammates to run without the ball and pass the ball to the line of opportunity with quick eyes. It's a great art, and not all playmaking defenders are the first to deliver shells when they see a teammate in a gap. Stockton, Mark Jackson, Kidd, Nash, they did it, and they're the best passers in history, even measured by greatness.

The other is such as Rose of the Bulls, Arenas and Roy of the Wizards, and even the current veteran of the Knicks, Byron Davis, can also be classified as a two-way guard, they have the function of handling and scoring at the same time, so they can not only create their own scoring opportunities when attacking, but also use the cut ball to help teammates score, and the defense is often struggling.

Wang Xiaomu's expectation for Jeremy Lin is that he can become a qualified dual-ability defender, even if he is not good enough, he can be qualified.

However, because "assists" and "scoring" are contradictory in theory, once players are not sure, they often change from "double guards" to "double guards".
