Chapter 666: Discordant Guy
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played relatively harmoniously, but soon discordant things appeared.
The first team to break the harmony was the Knicks, and the person who broke the harmony first was named Curry.
In the second quarter, both sides began to replace their bench players.
Because in the first quarter, both sides did not let the main players have any rest and played a full quarter of the game, so at this time they had to rest for a few minutes. Otherwise, I'm tired of a fart.
And it was in just a few minutes of the rest of the main force that extreme discord happened on the field.
Originally, the score on the field was 21:20. There is little difference in scores. And Curry has to do something at this time. Hey, it's a young man, young and vigorous, and hot.
The five players off the bench for the Knicks were Ibaka, Ty Gibson, Curry, Thornton, and Barnes. Although Thibodeau doesn't want Thorton and Curry to play together, Chandler really doesn't have much to offer. Although he has a good physical talent, he decisively became a half-crippled under the torture of Thibodeau.
The Magic's bench lineup is Gortat, Jason Williams, JJ Reddick, Ryan Anderson, Petrus.
Van Gundy is really not afraid of Petrus dying on the court.
In the second quarter, the Magic attacked first, and Ryan Anderson missed a three-point shot.
And turned around, after Ibaka grabbed the rebound on the inside, he passed the ball directly to Curry, Curry dribbled the ball through the half, and after reaching the three-point line, he took advantage of the Magic's formation not yet to be set, and directly shot a three-pointer.
The ball went safely into the basket.
Even Curry in that world, the first season was very eye-catching, and Curry in that world was picked by the Warriors in the draft. Curry quickly showed his worth.
Curry averaged 17.9 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game in his first season. This data industry is pretty good. This proves it. Curry is definitely strong.
The data in the Knicks is not as good as the data in that world in the Warriors, and it is only because of the problem of playing time and shooting rights that the data of Curry of the Knicks is not good compared with the data of Curry in that world.
24:20。 Curry's three-point shot did not attract Van Gundy's attention, after all, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year, scoring a goal is nothing.
However, soon, Curry proved that the ball he just had was not scored by eating dumplings, but Lao Tzu's strength.
Magic offense, Petrus attacked with the ball, a Thorton who accelerated past the defense, Petrus made a pull-up jumper, but the ball didn't go in.
The Knicks counterattacked quickly again, and the Magic's defense here was quite fast, mainly because of the goal scored by Curry before, so the Magic players were sprayed with blood by Van Gundy, so this time the defense will be a little faster.
However, even so, it is useless.
Curry was defended by Jason Williams and shot back and forth left and right. Then, taking advantage of Jason Williams' little slackness, Curry jumped straight up and shot a three-pointer again. Once again, the ball hit steadily. Enter the basket. Scored 6 points in a row,
27:20。
In an instant, the Knicks were on the rise. At this point, the head coach of the Magic has to do something.
Although the second quarter of the game was only 1 minute into the game,
Van Gundy directly asked for a timeout, and while he wanted to take a timeout, Van Gundy thought to himself: Nima, just this bastard Curry, he didn't play his cards according to the routine, and said okay, you will score two points and I will score two points. Now you're cleaning this three-pointer, what should I do? What a discord.
However, the discord did not end there.
Neither side made substitutions, and now the substitutions are a bit too hard, and the physical strength of the main players has not yet recovered.
It's still that heavy responsibility, and this suspension of magic is still more effective.
When they came back, the Magic gave the ball to Gortat on the inside, and Gortat singled Ibaka inside. A small hook hand that turns. The ball went in.
In the game between the Magic and the Knicks, who was the most eye-catching player off the bench? That's undoubtedly the mention of Gortat. Because Lewis didn't play well, Gortat had a little more chances. And Gortat also firmly seized these opportunities. Last season, in the playoffs, Gortat had already shown his worth, otherwise the Magic would not have matched a five-year, $34 million contract. After Gortat became a restricted free agent, the Mavericks offered him a $34 million contract, but the Magic chose to match the contract after the incident.
If it weren't for Gortat's strength, how could he be matched by the Magic contract. But Gortat is really unhappy with this contract, not with the value of this contract, but with the object of this contract, because of the signing with Magic, which led to a very unhappy thing. That's Gortat's playing time.
Because Howard, everyone knows that guy is one of the few monster versions of big players who can jump around no matter how many minutes Hang Chang has. And with Howard off the bench, Gortat's playing time is already destined to be very small.
Especially when Howard spends more time playing the No. 5 position and almost less of the No. 4 position, Gortat's playing time is even more limited. This gave Gortat the mind to seek a deal.
The magic in that world decided to let Gortat got, but this world didn't have to. Because in the future, the Magic are likely to let Howard play the No. 4 position and let Howard and Gortat play together. The main thing is that Lewis is slumping too much now. And the main reason is that Howard now seems to have developed a good mid-range. This gives Howard the basic conditions to become the team's No. 4 position. All that's left is to slowly change Howard's No. 5 habits. Then you can form an inside match between Howard and Gortat. Here's the outlook for the Magic's future Magic interior combination.
However, Gortat scored the ball directly on the pitch. But this is obviously not enough to see,
When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Curry broke through the point and assisted Thorton to shoot a three-pointer, and Thorton's three-point shooting skills were no joke.
A pretty good shot, how could Thorton miss it. The three-point shot was steadily shot and properly entered the basket.
30:22。
The Knicks' offense was really too fierce.
Hit three three-pointers from the outside. It's not a problem with the defenders, it's just that these two players obviously feel pretty good.
In the second quarter of the game, during this period of bench time, Thorton and Curry teamed up to give the Magic's bench players a refreshing reminder that could teach them immortality.
Within 5 minutes of appearance. The two combined to score 17 points. Curry scored nine points. Thornton scored 8 points. In the first five minutes, the two men were responsible for all of the Knicks' scoring.
The score was 38:29.
This point difference is still thanks to the Magic, who had to replace the main players in advance in the third minute. This is what keeps the magic from being beaten with a 17:2 mini-orgasm.
Otherwise, I don't know how much the score is on the field now.
Curry and Thorton did a great job today.
In the middle of the second quarter, the main players of both sides competed on the court. Because they occupy a 10-point lead, perhaps this makes the Knicks' players play more relaxed. The Knicks players are playing well.
Especially the players on the perimeter. Today, the Knicks' interior line is more about grabbing rebounds on defense and fighting for offensive rebounds. Interior players, including Chen Jiyuan, are not very good.
Half the game passed. The score was 58:47.
Of the Knicks' 58 points, Chen Jiyuan only scored 4 points. Lefu also scored only 6 points. Serge Ibaka and Ty Gibson also scored five points each.
That's just too little. Today's Knicks' inside and outside scoring data is a bit different.
The best player from the outside was Sessions, who had 14 points in the half, six assists and five rebounds. It's obviously going on for three pairs.
But the most efficient ones were Curry and Thorton, who were five minutes long and had a very good 17 points. It's simply not human.
Iguodala and Stephen Jackson didn't join in the fun. Stephen Jackson scored five points. Iguodala had two points, but Iguodala grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists.
Iguodala has now largely weakened his score. It made him look very non-existent. But even so, Iguodala is a very trustworthy player and is often able to react fairly quickly when anything changes on the pitch.
Moreover, after Iguodala weakened his own scoring, the biggest enhancement is the defense, and the attacking players opposite Iguodala will be weakened to a large extent. Because Iguodala is not going to conserve his stamina at all on the defensive end right now.
Sometimes, because of age, Stephen Jackson's poor defense of players in the small forward position also makes Iguodala, whether it is a shooting guard or a small forward, any player in any position will become out of temper after encountering Iguodala. That's what it's capable of. Iguodala's physical gifts are absolutely top-notch, and he puts his heart and soul into defence. The effect is simply amazing.
The Knicks, who led by 10 points at halftime, are likely to continue this advantage until the end of the game in the second half, as they did in the previous game. After all, the Knicks were the team that was knocked over the fewest times last season. Of course, this is also because the Knicks themselves have lost very few games. But the Knicks' rhythm is very steady. The fact that both offense and defense are relatively safe is also a big reason.
