The highlight of the game came in the second half, but it was Thomas Jr.!

With Brother Lee giving Curry five 3-pointers in the first half, the Knicks led by 13 points in the first half.

Then in the second half, it was right to replace Brother Li in the first rotation, but the guard line was replaced by Thomas Jr. to try!

This is the second time that the Knicks have let this year's second-round pick play the regular rotation in the regular season, and the people who matched him are not bad, Butler, who is also a rookie this year, as well as Hayward, David Lee, and Yi Jianlian.

This made many people at the scene interested, because at the preliminary glance of this lineup, this little man wants to deal with the rhythm of the ball??

That's the idea of the young marshal!

Aren't you very hung in the preseason?

He also wanted to see how Thomas Jr. performed during the regular season, and whether there would be a performance of the king of the last quarter.

Rotate in the third quarter, even if you lose points, you can catch up in the fourth quarter, and it is better to win points.

Then Thomas Jr. was educated in the first round, how well-trained Anji's Celtics were, they found that there was a 1.75 meter dwarf on the court to block and dismantle, and the Knicks made Thomas Jr. face the singles master Pierce with a change of defense.

"It's too short!"

Pierce made a short gesture after scoring, Thomas Jr. shook his head directly to signal for the ball, and then dribbled directly to the front court in the stupid eyes of everyone, and took advantage of Rondo's still to see if there was a block, and shot a left-handed 3-point shot, and the ball brushed out of the frame!

Didn't go in!

"Damn, this is a madman, isn't it?"

"What kind of chaos are you fighting here?"

The Green Army fans and orange fans at the scene looked stupid, and they thought that they were Kobe??

"But it's a good opportunity." Kerr rubbed his temples underneath, this little man is in charge of him, he can't change this style of play, I can only hope that he won't play so exaggerated during the short rotation of a few minutes, otherwise it is not an exaggeration to say that after this game, Thomas Jr. will only be able to lead by 30 points in garbage time.

Generally speaking, the way for rookie players to gain trust is to start with a blue-collar or tactical position, even if Thomas Jr. is the only defender on the field who combines the ball to dominate, but you can't be so willful.

Everyone saw that Thomas Jr. was a teammate, Butler was the first ball, and he was angry in the second round.

And David Lee and Yi Jianlian are both reminding Thomas Jr. to slow down, find a feeling and then attack, they will come up to block and dismantle.

Little Thomas shouted like the boss with a proud face, "Defend first!"

And in the next round, he was okay to defend, Rondo also wanted to bully him, he didn't move when he turned his back to the basket, forcing Rondo to pass to O'Neal Jr., O'Neal Jr.'s mid-shot was interfered with by Yi Jianlian and didn't score.

"Rondo's back ability is still weak."

"Yes, Rondo needs to rush up, and he doesn't have an advantage playing a guard with a big ass because he didn't shoot in the first place."

"It's good that Rondo beat him, and everyone else beat him, and he is absolutely vulnerable."

"Haha, so this player who claims to be the strongest 175 on the surface is still useful?" Su Qun and Yu Jia chatted with Yang Ma.

"It's useless, in an NBA-level league, a height of 175 is too short even to play the number one position. It is expected that he will have a hard time breaking through the interior under the defense of NBA-caliber players; Defensively, he's less likely to compete with NBA-caliber guards."

Jiang Chao, who heard the live broadcast of Yang Ma on TV and the questioning voice on ESPN's side in the box, shook his head.

Tsk tsk.

"Hey, hey, don't forget that the players I choose must be fine."

Jiang Chao saw that the girls were also laughing at this little man for being a bit of a clown, and couldn't help but slap their big butts in the back:

"Since you can play, you definitely have a few brushes."

"Since the boss has said so, we'll have to wait and see." Wang Binbin saw Jiang Chao's in the afterglow

movements, the little face flushed and spoke directly and quickly to calm his heartbeat.

But in the next second, Ao Mei's snort made Wang Binbin want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

It turns out that the rumored boss's villa life is so expensive......

But in fact, this is already a familiar physical joke for them.

In Jiang Chao's opinion, it's only 2 rounds, and the offensive moves in the preseason haven't been shown, Jiang Chao chose him because his set of unique skills was unsolvable at the peak of his previous life, with a height of 1.75 meters, Thomas Jr. can win the title of the king of the NBA stubs, and his technical level should not be underestimated.

The signature stunt fake turn and hesitate is useless!

And on the defensive end, this young man is still young and vigorous, if he has more confrontations in the regular season, Thomas Jr.'s best offensive foul fake fall will be broken as soon as he shows it!

It means that everyone on the defensive end is afraid of this little man's fake fall, so they will not fully exert their strength like Pierce and Rondo just now, for fear that as soon as they exert their strength, people will pretend to fall.

Because of the height of the small man's gaze, the referee can easily feel that he is being "bullied", and he will give more offensive fouls.

However, in the next round when it comes to whether Thomas Jr. can play in rotation time again this season, he will start the show.

In the face of the interference of the long arm of the defender Rondo, Thomas Jr. first slowly dribbled, and then suddenly a top arc fake turn rhythm dribble to shift Rondo's center of gravity and body to the right side, and it was this time that Thomas Jr. directly followed a pause to accelerate and continue to break through on the right side.

That is, on the basis of the hesitant step, add a false turn.

Rondo thought he was going to return to the right position, but he didn't expect Thomas Jr. to continue on the right side, plus his speed was already fast, the visual effect was that Rondo was nailed in place and couldn't move, watching Thomas Jr. skim by his side like a wind, and then chose the simplest pull-up jump shot.

"Yo!! Thomas scored! This little thing!"

"It's so fast, I have to say, the little guy of 175 does have an advantage in speed!"

This goal also made the young marshal not replace him immediately, signaling Matthews and so on.

However, the Green Army did not succeed in changing the defense at this time, and it was impossible for the Knicks to expose their defensive weaknesses all the time under your nose, this time they did not change the defense, but Hayward went directly around the defense to continue to defend Pierce, and it was not easy for Pierce to crush Hayward, and after turning his back to the basket, he couldn't see the basket at all, and threw an air ball.

Butler got the rebound to Thomas Jr. in the frontcourt, and Thomas Jr. dribbled with his left hand and hesitated to inspect Rondo's defense.

Suddenly accelerate to break through, once the defender slows down with Thomas Jr., Thomas Jr. is more likely to create a speed difference with the defender.

But this time Rondo was not deceived, he was much more cautious after knowing the speed of Thomas Jr.'s first step, but it didn't matter, Thomas Jr. would continue to shoot!

You know, there's only one advantage to being short!

Speed, speed!

Or TMD!

Velocity!

As long as Rondo sticks a little closer, it's easy to get thrown off!

The main reason is that Thomas Jr. is not like the first ball to play with a direct three-point shot, and Thomas Jr., who really wants to be a person, is not covered, he bypasses directly from under Rondo, uses his big ass to carry Rondo behind, and then makes a layup in 3 steps.

Little O'Neill hesitated and watched Little Thomas score quickly!

Su Qun instantly changed a statement:

"Thomas Jr. takes advantage of this speed difference, and Thomas Jr. can easily open his position and get into the hoop!"

"This second-round pick offense is really good."

Daddario in the box has already begun to blow:

"Actually, the first ball is not a wave, you haven't seen Nate Robinson play, more than this little Thomas wave."

"Yes, learn to be tolerant, a player who can score goals is a good player!"

In fact, Nate Robinson's Knicks fans also thought the same way, and this kind of sharp start and stop can be smarter than Nate Robinson's reckless style of play

Ming, but it also has to do with the physical talent of Thomas Jr.

Nate Robinson is the top talent in the 175 body, and Thomas Jr. is not so strong and cannot become a slam dunk king like him, so although the two are both 170+, their playing styles are completely different.

In the next few rounds, Thomas Jr. also successfully attracted the middle pack, and his early pass was also good, giving Hayward and Yi Jianlian several vacant opportunities, causing Matthews, who was originally going to play, to put on his training uniform and sit on the bench again.

"Yes, it's a good fight."

Thomas Jr.'s early transmission of the ball made the on-site commentator Johnson praised, if a short player like them wants to pass the ball, he must see the position of his teammates in advance, and do not run to pass again, because of the natural height disadvantage, many times you have to jump up and pass the ball to bypass the opponent's long arms.

So if you see where the person is and then pass, your side is naturally delayed than those who are 2 meters long, and the consequence of the delay is that the opponent has already judged the steal when the pass is out.

And Thomas Jr.'s early passing is very good, and it can be seen that he has thoroughly studied the Knicks' tactics.

However, Thomas Jr. played 4 minutes in the third quarter, and with the difference to 11 points, @

The hesitation and false turn often subconsciously guess that Thomas Jr. will choose to turn around and habitually defend forward, at this time, Thomas Jr. can easily pass the defender.

It's not like Curry and Harden who can sense defenders, he just throws everything!

After the young marshal said, he relied on the opponent's inside line twice in a row to make layups, just one step ahead of you, no way!!

And in the end, when the opposing guard and the inside line did not dare to come up, they were brewing a direct three-point shot outside the three-point line!!

The ball arcs high and the ball goes in!

There are three points, too!!

Invincible!!

"The strongest on the surface!! 175！！ I admit it!" D'Addario and others slapped their faces one after another.

Wang Binbin asked Jiang Chao: "This is the pinnacle of ordinary people playing in the NBA, right?"

Jiang Chao: "It should be, the average height of men in the world is about 175, but he should be the fiercest!!"

With the final Thomas Jr. also stealing O'Neal Jr.'s back-body dribble and winning a one-handed split, Thomas Jr. scored 15 points in 6 minutes in the fourth quarter, with 21 points, 5 assists, 2 steals and 0 rebounds!! the fourth highest score in the Knicks!!

Curry and Harden both watched the orgasm on the bench, and they all stood up and applauded.

"This kid can also dunk in practice!" Curry's face was full of envy.

Harden: "If you don't come off the bench, you won't dunk any point guard."

"I'll be fine, but I don't have a chance!"

"Have you forgotten the last time you went to the basket with no one on your neck?"

"Ahem......

In fact, the coaching staff expected it but didn't think that Thomas Jr. would be so crazy, after all, he was not so alone in training in the team, although he shot enough today, but he could get in, and the person the boss was looking for was too slippery.

The number of shots went to Nate Robinson, who scored as many as 13 points......

The King of Doom is undoubted!

This hesitant step is indeed top-notch!!

The young marshal and the others looked at Thomas Jr., who set a personal career scoring record, and couldn't help but sigh: It has to be Boss Jiang!

The crowd shouted MVP in a funny way, and if it weren't for Butler, Thomas Jr. would have even rushed to the stands to replicate Beverley's celebration last season......

The post-game interview naturally gave this little Thomas, who faced the Celtics tonight, where to pay attention to Brother Li.

"Basketball is everything I have, no matter how bad life is, basketball can always help me get out of trouble, I'm just playing, playing my basketball!"

Jiang Chao, who was in the box, knocked on the table with French fries and said with a smile:

"Yo, what do you mean by this kid, playing unsatisfactory in our Knicks??"
