Chapter 135: The Enemy Is Coming
The game started under the command of these two hard-working managers.
The New York media started by speculating on the Knicks' starters wrong.
"Okay, friends from the audience, we got the starting lists of both sides, and the starting five tigers on the Knicks' side were. Oh? What's going on, how is Anthony on the big screen Novak's avatar? It may be a technical malfunction, so let me take a look at the note in my hand. Fack, what's going on? It turned out to be really Novak. ”
The away media is not so polite. The media that got the Knicks' start directly sprayed:
"Did the Knicks head coach get water in his head? It's all the rhythm of death! First of all, the strength of the Trail Blazers is underestimated, and secondly, the intelligence of the fans is too insulted. Did the fans come to Madison Square Garden to watch the New York bench play? ”
At the moment when the media of both sides were still spraying each other, the game had lost its suspense.
Marcus Camby and Gerard Wallace have already known their fate of being traded, and this game is the most important goodbye. The two main players are playing with their own professionalism, and they can also be regarded as an explanation to the fans of the Trail Blazers.
Aldridge, who is struggling to support himself, is like a stucco painter carrying a cement bucket, finishing the west wall and filling the east wall, and has been helping his teammates check and fill in the gaps in defense.
And the Knicks' giant ship was obviously accompanied by a pouring rain, and a 13:2 in the first quarter poured the Trail Blazers into the cold.
"I don't think the Portland media should be obsessed with who is the starter, and looking at their poor performance, I personally think the Knicks bench will play them more than enough." Back on his turf, George complained unscrupulously on the radio.
"yes, let them go back to their hometown! The Knicks must win! "The fans started the game in a state of excitement with the home team's outburst.
Novak's start was not in vain, hitting two three-pointers in a row as soon as he came on the court, drawing the enemy's defensive center of gravity away from the inside. The Trail Blazers' interior is also the only point they can compete with the Knicks, and the Knicks' outside outburst undoubtedly stabbed a bloody bladed dagger in the opponent's body.
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers stepped up their perimeter defense. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaomu actually replaced Novak, who played well, and Melon only rested for 3 minutes before returning to the court.
Seeing the opponent's substitution, Mike Milan's face turned green. He never expected that the other party would really dare to replace his best starter, and looking at the other party's happy expression, he didn't have any opinion.
In desperation, he had to stand on the sidelines and shout at his players to pay attention to the interior defense, and Carmelo Anthony hid for 3 minutes, which was obviously to tear a wound on their inside.
The Trail Blazers players have just been tasked with strengthening the rotation and keeping an eye on the perimeter, which has not even reached their own position. The manager went so far as to ask for another change of tactics from the sidelines.
Everyone on the field stared at the captain Aldridge, Aldridge looked pale and shouted: "Play according to our own routine, defend more actively!" ”
The Trail Blazers, who don't have a clear goal, are full of holes, in the eyes of Knicks players. The adversary is like an unguarded bank, which can come and go in and out at will.
33:14。 Section I. The Trail Blazers' defense was largely outnumbered by the Knicks. In the second half, Anthony and Novak, who came off the bench again, scored three consecutive buk-shots in front of the Portlanders. Jeremy Lin also broke through the inside line to give the opposing old guard a standard throw.
If there are any bright spots for the Trail Blazers on the court, Aldridge is the only gain, the All-Star player took advantage of the opposition with Xiao Si, and sacrificed a series of killer moves: namely: Super BT speed, play rhythm, and find closeness. Use your physical fitness and absolute ability to force a breakthrough, or cheat a foul.
It stands to reason. Wallace did not fall behind against the boxing champion Chandler, but now the boxing champion's style of play is quite tough, and the defense Wallace is very fierce, with all kinds of slaps in the face and nostrils. In short, it sent a signal: even if it is a foul, I don't want to score easily on my head.
In this situation, Portland's rout is also well deserved.
In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks' benches dug a few holes in the opponent's sinking giant wheel. Paul George and Steve Novak led the bench to shine. It may be that today I was stimulated by the beautiful god pitcher brought by the head coach. The Knicks' three-point shooting percentage is so high that even the commentary media has to admit:
"Today's Nix, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!"
"Oh my God, we can basically congratulate Coach Wang Xiaomu in advance on leading the team to 20 consecutive wins. The Trail Blazers had internal and external troubles and had no fighting spirit at all, while the Knicks were chasing after them and continuously set off an offensive climax. Look at this ball Nova and Chambord on the strong side to do blocking, Nova after receiving Champod's pass, actually began to play low back, Nova skillfully used her body to hit the opponent's chest, and then turned around and jumped, hitting a two-point shot. Ha Lu Ha! I believe that at the moment of Novak's attack, Yao Ming possessed the body, and this is how he played this classic center action. ”
At this time, the giant Yao Ming Chrysanthemum, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, trembled. Yao Ming said with words in his mouth: I can't imagine that a half-joking teaching in training N years ago, Nova really remembered it. My back beating, finally there is a successor!
Due to Novak's excellent performance, during the halftime interview, the media specially found Novak's original teammate Wade. Wade didn't play today, and he was surprised that the media came to ask him about his former teammate's story. After learning that Novak scored 20 points in the first two quarters, Wade decisively took the microphone.
"I'm so happy for him," Wade told ESPN. "I know he's had a rough start in his career, he didn't play a lot, he went to a lot of teams, it looks like he's been out of the league for a while, and now he's finally found a home in the league. Even if he hadn't found it, he had at least made a name for himself. He's playing well now and I'm happy for him as a former team-mate. ”
Before entering the players' lounge in the second quarter, the Knicks had a huge 30-point advantage to crush Portland under him. It's been a long time since Knicks fans have seen a hearty win at home, and they barely stop cheering.
In the celebration of the fans and players, Wang Xiaomu suddenly frowned, his eyes first shook to a corner, and then quickly lowered his head. Jin Yuchen, who was wearing a hat and disguised as a team assistant, first looked at Wang Xiaomu suspiciously, and then glared at himself.
That's right, the enemy, coming. (To be continued......)
