Chapter 406: The Derby Kicks Off

The Knicks' preseason games are spent in the run-in, Dragic is strong, but the team is not tacit enough, the Knicks' new lineup is Cousins, Monroe, Li Feng, Rose, Dragic, the outside double guard lineup, in several preseason games, gradually took shape, in the preseason game with the Houston Rockets, the Knicks scored 157 points.

After the preseason is the new season, the league is a gimmick, the Knicks' opening game is against the city derby, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Barclays Center is one of the youngest arenas in the league.

The New York media has been hyped up this season, many people think that without Harden, the Knicks' offense will be sharply reduced, and some people think that the Knicks' two-guard tactics are a failure, and they will be blown up when they meet the tall and strong Delon of the Nets.

The Nets players on the other side of the court also looked at the Knicks with an unhappy face.

In this case, the atmosphere on the court is full of hostility, and the two people who came to explain the game today, Joan Barry and John Dick, also looked at the court and said:

"Before today's game, there was a lot of spat in the media between the two teams. Both teams are indeed the focus of the league right now. ”

"The city derby has always been like this, and it is naturally more eye-catching for two teams that are so strong that the two teams that are eye-catching in the league want to play the last game of the season together."

At the beginning, the bald bandit Barry briefly talked about the current situation of the two teams, and Dick, who was next to Barry, immediately said:

"The key is that now fans want to know what state the Knicks will be in after a summer, and whether they can win three consecutive championships!"

Dick's expectations for the Knicks were quite high, and Barry looked at the other party in surprise and said:

"You're so optimistic about the Knicks! Do you think they can go that far? ”

"At least I think there's a chance!"

Barry and Dick were exchanging their views on the game, which was broadcast on the domestic side. The hosts Yu Jia and Yang Yi in the broadcast room were also talking about this game and the past of the two teams.

Yang Yi was the first to say at this time:

"Today's game is last season's champion on one side and the Nets, who are still in the limelight lately. It's a big game like that, for sure. ”

"Ahead of this game, both teams were not very calm. The Nets are undefeated in the preseason, while the Knicks slaughtered the Rockets with 157 points! ”

When Yang Yi said this, Yu Jia was just laughing on the side. Yang Yi went on to say:

"The Knicks are missing Harden this year, and the Nets are not weakened. In this situation, the Knicks came over to play their home court. It's sure to be a dragon and tiger fight! ”

Yu Jia also nodded again and again and said:

"Yes! Li Feng also said a lot of cruel words before the game, and the game can be expected in this situation. ”

"Then you are looking forward to Li Feng!"

"Aren't you?"

Yu Jia and Yang Yi also talked and laughed in China, and the commentator could naturally talk and laugh.

But the Knicks and Nets on the court have no idle talk and jokes, they are indeed a little hostile to each other, who made them the same city derby?

At this time, the lists of the two teams were lined up, and the Knicks today are still point guard Dragic, scoring guard Rose, small forward Li Feng, and power forward Monroe. Center Cousins.

On the Nets' side, point guard Deron is the point guard, the scoring guard Joe Johnson, the small forward Anthony, and the power forward Blatche. Center Lopez.

Today, the lineup on the Knicks' side is still the same, and the Nets' David Lee family died and couldn't play, so Blatch could only come out.

Bracchi is also a good power forward in all fairness, with a very strong physique. The technique is also enough, although some love excitement, but this is really not a shortcoming.

Bradge is not bad, but compared to David Lee. That's the concept of two steps. David Lee's consistency on the defensive and offensive ends is as infallible as clockwork, but Blatch is a completely emotional forward.

The difference between the two determines the intensity and tenacity of the Nets.

The lineup was sent out, and the game began, with Lopez and Cousins on the center circle together.

At this time, the Nets must contain the Knicks' various interior lines, the Nets need to control the rebounds, and Li Feng must score less than 30 points.

The Knicks' biggest advantage right now is the interior, and controlling the Knicks' interior is the number one. Then the Knicks' second advantage is the fast offense, so the Nets need to be perfect in the rebounding to suppress the opponent. Third, regarding Li Feng's control, it is also a matter of course.

The Knicks' only way to win is to strive for more points on the inside, no matter what means are used to strengthen the defense near the three-point line, compress the opponent's space, play their own rhythm, and not let the opponent go with the rhythm.

Now that David Lee is not here on the Nets' side, the interior is empty, and the Knicks need to take this opportunity to score more points on the inside.

On the Nets' side, Joe Johnson and Anthony's see-through three-point masters have strengthened their defense of the Nets' three-point line, which is the easiest way to contain the Nets' scoring. The latter is important, the Nets are a very good team at controlling the tempo, and the more this happens, the more they can't let the opponent control the tempo.

The ways for both teams to win are listed, and there is not much difference between them and what the managers of the two teams think.

Everyone knows the main points of the game, but how to achieve it and how to play it in the game are all difficult things. Knowing how to do it, whether it can be done is originally two propositions.

At this time, Barry also said:

"The game is about to start, and the competition for today's game is mainly about inside and rebounding!"

Dick also said:

"It's natural, and that's true for most games."

As the two of them spoke, Lopez had already put the basketball into Delon's hands first. Delon took possession of the ball and lightly advanced towards the Knicks' half.

The success of the Nets last season was attributed to DeLong, so the media and fans have a relatively high evaluation of DeLong this season. Deron is considered to be one of the best defenders in the league.

Dragic is also very familiar with Delon, the two used to be in the west, and there were many collision opportunities, so at this time, Dragic saw DeLong was very energetic, and when he saw DeLong coming, he defended like a fire-breathing look.

DeLong also knew that his old opponent hated him very much, and immediately turned his body to protect the basketball. Then direct your teammates to run.

Now that the Nets have lost David Lee, their tactics have changed a lot, and many low-post tactics and high-post tactics are no longer available. Without David Lee, the Nets have become a more pure shooting team.

As mentioned before, Delon is not capable of changing the opponent's defense, what he is good at is waiting for his teammates to run out of position, and he can send the basketball out of the box at the right time.

So at this time, the first to stir up the opponent's defense was Joe Johnson's off-ball run, just Joe Johnson's running tactics. Any team that is stirred up by him must be a mess.

The Knicks are no exception. The Knicks' good formation was torn open. The opposing team's defense was changed by his teammates, and Deron was able to find a chance to pass the ball, and a ground-hitting pass actually gave the basketball to Bradge first.

The Nets actually started playing from Blatch first, which is a somewhat intriguing signal. The Nets do have a habit of starting from the inside, but they do so from Lopez or David Lee.

Now playing from Bracch, it is obviously a deliberate arrangement by Callesimo. Callesimo is also an experienced manager who knows all too well what a player can do on the pitch. What kind of player is Bradge, a player who can be used as David Lee when he starts to go crazy, and once he loses his momentum, he has nothing.

So today the Nets want to hold the team up from the inside. Counteracting the team's weaknesses is going to make Bracy happy.

This big guy is happy to play, and the Nets will have no worries on the inside, making up for the shortcomings. Callesimo is not afraid of anyone!

So the Nets are a matter of course to play Brackey's low-post offense. Bradch also has a bit of a footwork.

The big guy took the ball and slammed it into Monroe, then turned left and right, and suddenly threw a throw.

Monroe's defense was in place, but Bracchi relied on his round body. leaned on the other side, stretched out his hand and made a throw, which simply smashed into the Knicks' basket.

Bradge had a performance in the opening scene! At the moment of Blatch's goal, the Nets' home court was a wild cheer.

Bradge himself jumped happily to his own half. Look at Bradch like this.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Bradge like this, except for the Knicks players, almost everyone else is laughing. The two teams scolded each other before the game, but the game started with a smile.

At this time, the Knicks came over, and the Knicks came up, and the tactics they played were slightly different from before.

Dragic took the ball over and gave it to Monroe first, and when Monroe got the ball, Li Feng ran past him to catch the ball and immediately passed it to Cousins, who was cutting towards the basket.

Cousins and Lopez are both big men, and the gap between the two is not too big compared to the amount of pure strength, but compared to the speed and running position at his feet, Lopez can't catch up with Cousins, and Cousins inserts a simple insertion from the high post to the low post directly into the heart of the Nets.

Lopez couldn't catch up, and Bracy didn't have the awareness to help defend, so Cousins was an easy hook to score two points.

Both teams started from the inside in the opening game! And they all succeeded, but the goals of the two teams were completely different.

With a very different goal, the Nets pushed in again and started to attack slowly.

The Knicks seemed a little less arrogant and impatient, and at this point the Knicks' endurance was much better than before.

The Nets wanted to wait for the Knicks to have problems themselves, but the Knicks also became a patient wolf.

In the patient waiting, the Nets couldn't find too good an opportunity, and Delon could only go up and single out Dragic.

Delon's personal body is still good, with a long arm span, large hands, and relatively fast speed, and he is relatively successful as a defender. But as an attacker, Delon has an irreparable disadvantage.

DeLong doesn't have a good fight on the ground, and he doesn't have an advantage in jumping and bouncing. If you want to beat others, you have no advantage.

DeLong doesn't have the ability to force others or change the opponent's defense and pass the ball out, so he has to rely on his teammates to act.

Now go and single out Dragic, Dragic is not the hot-blooded guy at the beginning of the season, and now Dragic is also a cunning learner.

As soon as Delon came, he immediately gave up and sent Delon into the Knicks' defensive trap.

Then I saw that the Knicks came and a group of people beat up Delon in a group, and Delon hurriedly passed the ball out. As a result, the basketball was cut off by Rose.

Rose was reluctant to face Anthony with the ball, and immediately passed the basketball to Li Feng outside. Once Li Feng got the basketball, the rhythm of the Knicks suddenly accelerated, Li Feng pushed crazy with the ball, at this time the three outside lines of the Nets were all offensive players, none of them could suppress Li Feng, and Li Feng brought the rhythm up.

The Knicks came over, and Li Feng immediately turned into a back-to-back attack and suppressed Joe Johnson. How thin Johansson is in Li Feng's eyes!

When the Nets were helping to defend, Li Feng threw the basketball into the hands of Monroe, who was following up with a trailer outside.

Monroe picked up the basketball and made a mid-range shot, and the Knicks immediately scored 2 points!

In the opening period, the Knicks played the Nets a 4-2. Too many mistakes have laid the foundation for the team.

At this time, Callesimo hurriedly went over and yelled at Delon a few times, the Nets conceded a goal, and when he played again, Delon finally calmed down a lot, and he didn't have the idea to go head-to-head.

Instead, he broke through and threw the basketball to Blatch, who this time took the ball above the free throw line.

After getting the ball, Blatch immediately made a decent three-threat to the basket, and Monroe hurriedly defended at this time. But no, Brach is like a wild boar. Crashed into Monroe's arms.

When Monroe was pushing the other side out, Bradge just turned over and tried to get out of the other side.

At this time, Monroe's defensive action was not clean, and he was caught by the referee, and Blatch made a shooting move to deceive Monroe into a foul.

Monroe met Brache today and was a little depressed. The main thing is that Bradge is too fat, as if it is a meat roll, and he is simply round and can't start.

Monroe himself is a slender type of power forward, and his strength is not too strong!

Monroe's defense of Blatch has failed again! Blatch was gleefully on the free-throw line, and once the guy got excited, he was able to make the free throw. Hit both free throws.

Bracche's opening consecutive Nets points were all taken by him. At this time, Anthony also encouraged him in the past:

"Boy! Just do it, do it with your hands and feet, and believe in yourself. Be sure to believe in yourself. ”

Anthony is very willing to communicate with his teammates and encourages them as soon as they play a good game.

Bradge was originally a player who kicked his nose in the face and had to have fun on his own when he had nothing to do, but now he was even more happy to get Anthony's encouragement, and he defended desperately in his own half.

Blatche's performance was watched by the Knicks, but the Knicks didn't adopt a special defensive strategy against Bracy for this.

The Knicks played again, and they still started from the inside, before Blatch was powerful, and at this time the Knicks came over and gave Monroe a chance to get revenge.

Monroe took the ball here and resisted Bradge, but Braczy was excited to play at this time, and his defense was also desperate.

Bradge is desperately pushing Monroe outward, Monroe seems to be idle when he beats others, but he beats Bradge with this kind of meat. The regiment did not have many options, and at the end of the year, Monroe could only end the attack with a hook miss.

Monroe's attack failed, and Barry immediately became surprised on the sidelines:

"Before the game, everyone thought that Monroe had an advantage against Braczy. But now that the game has begun, Monroe can't cope with Brackey, but lets Bracchi play again and again, which is really interesting. ”

Dick also said:

"Bracci's performance today was really good, even exceeding his previous ceiling. I think it's time for the Knicks to take special action against Brackey. ”

That's what Dick said, but on the court the Knicks didn't! The Knicks are still steady and silent, and they don't seem to care about the excited Bracky!

In today's game, the key point of attention was on Bradge from the beginning, and a small corner became a key point to change the situation.

The Nets also really have the confidence and perseverance to come from the defensive end. Delon actually threw the basketball to Brach, who was at 45 degrees.

Bradge had a successful attack in the low post before, broke through the foul in the face frame, and now he has the ball again, and he is also confident.

It was a very decent spying step to take the ball, and then pulled it up and threw a mid-range.

Bracy's posture is a bit weird, and the fans haven't gotten used to such a Bracch, but today Bracy felt so good.

The basketball shot was hit!

"Brush!"

Bracch scored two points for the Nets again, and after the goal, Bracch took an arrogant step.

On the bench of the Nets, these players were also laughed at by Blatche, and everyone was imitating Blatch's movements and laughing and laughing on the sidelines.

At the beginning of today's game, Bracy himself scored three different scoring methods in a row, and on the offensive end, he resisted Monroe, who was the Knicks' best at playing singles in the low post.

In this way, Bracy really became a wonderful opening statement for the Nets in the opening paragraph.

Bradge can have such an attack, and Callesimo on the sidelines also smiled dumbly, and Bradche's current performance has not been seen in the usual training games. But now it's playing like that in the race.

Now Blatch's performance is already the level of the league's top interior line. Could it be that Bradge was originally the league's top interior lineman? The thought suddenly came to Karesimo, and then he himself laughed frightened by his own audacity.

Blatch immediately raised the morale of the Nets at the beginning, and there was cheering everywhere at the Barclays Center. The fans are in love with this big fat man at this time, and the big fat man is also very excited at this time. (To be continued......)
