Chapter 6098: The First Playoffs of the Season Begins!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The New York Knicks fans at the scene were already cheering for the New York Knicks players before the game even started, and even before the coaches and players of the opponent Indiana Pacers entered.
It sounds like he doesn't care if his voice will be dumb the next day.
And the players of the New York Knicks are also crazy in their hearts when they hear their fans cheering so hard.
Immediately afterwards, the warm-up training done by the players of the New York Knicks on the court became more and more energetic.
All kinds of ultra-long three-point shots, violent dunks, and empty catches are staged in turn.
It seems that he wants to rely on his own actions to respond to his own fans.
Tell them that they will do their best to play this game today.
And the fans of the New York Knicks felt that their shouts were answered when they saw the excitement of their own team's players.
As a result, the shouts and cheers of the New York Knicks fans are getting louder and louder.
The moment the coaches and players of the Indiana Pacers walked into the Madison Garden arena, they were taken aback by the home atmosphere of the New York Knicks.
It's not like they've never played at Madison Garden.
It's just that the home atmosphere of today's New York Knicks is indeed more violent than ever!
Minutes and seconds passed.
After the warm-up training time of the players on both sides was over, the host on the scene introduced the starting players of both teams, and the game officially began.
The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Then, Da Yao and Jermaine O'Neal walked into the halfway circle.
Immediately after, the referee tossed the basketball into the air.
Da Yao and Jermaine O'Neal both jumped at the same time.
Jermaine O'Neal was the first to touch the basketball with his fingers and slapped the basketball into his teammate's hands.
The Indiana Pacers got the chance to attack first.
Peja Stojakovic received a pass from a teammate, dribbled to the front court, and then began to reach out and direct his teammates to run.
The Indiana Pacers players are clearly excited about this game as well.
However, they are also well aware that the strength of the New York Knicks' interior player roster is much stronger than theirs.
So, even though their star is Jermaine O'Neal, an interior player, they didn't put him in charge of attacking with the ball.
Instead, it was left to Peja Stojakovic to organize the attack.
The Indiana Pacers players are constantly on the move, trying to get a good chance to attack.
However, the New York Knicks players are still doing a good job defensively.
It didn't give the Indiana Pacers players an easy chance to get open spots.
After more than ten seconds of offensive time passed, Peja Stojakovic couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
If you don't attack, the attack time will be 24 seconds!
In desperation, he had to choose to take the initiative to attack with the ball.
Peja Stojakovic dribbled towards the left.
However, Peja Stojakovic is a very good scorer though.
However, his own offensive ability with the ball is not strong.
It can even be said that it is below the average in this league.
Therefore, Peja Stojakovic was not able to get away from this José Calderón defense when facing the José Calderón defense.
Instead, it was a bit messed up by Jose Calderón's defense.
In desperation, he had to pass the basketball in his hand to his teammates who were not far away.
Peja Stojakovic then accelerated again and rushed to the right.
Trying to get rid of Jose Calderón and trying to make an empty cut.
However, Jose Calderón was not left behind by Peja Stojakovic and kept chasing after Peja Stojakovic.
When Peja Stojakovic ran to a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line on the right side and received a ball from his teammates, Jose Calderón also rushed back to Peja Stojakovic to defend at the first time.
Peja Stojakovic's heart sank.
Originally, the attack he had just made was a tactical attack without too much planning.
It was a simple offensive coordination that was improvised and improvized.
So, the offensive threat that can be brought to the New York Knicks is not very big.
And now, José Calderón rushed in front of him, which is enough to show that the offensive coordination they just had failed.
And now, with less than three seconds left in the offensive time.
It was too late for him to make another choice.
You can only shoot directly by yourself!
In the face of Jose Calderón's frontal defense, he shot directly.
Not a good offensive option indeed.
However, Peja Stojakovic has no other way.
Put your hands together and jump straight to the basket.
Peja Stojakovic's shooting action isn't standard and doesn't look great.
But the speed of the shot is very fast.
Even if Jose Calderón was defending Peja Stojakovic head-on, he still allowed Peja Stojakovic to shoot the basketball smoothly.
Thankfully, José Calderón's reflexes and body speed are not slow.
Even if Peja Stojakovic threw the basketball out, it still put a little defensive pressure on him.
Peja Stojakovic, who was originally forced to shoot, still threw the basketball a little bit off this time.
"Bang dang!" Bang!
The basketball smashed out of the basket and was protected by Da Yao and rebounded.
Subsequently, the New York Knicks attacked.
After Allen Iverson dribbled to the front court, he directly passed the basketball in his hand to Da Yao, who was stuck in the position on the inside.
After Da Yao received the basketball, he directly started to play back.
One, two.
Da Yao didn't give Jermaine O'Neal much distance.
However, all he wanted was a space to turn around.
Put your hands together and turn around quickly.
After using his inside footwork to move around under the basket and shake off Jermaine O'Neal's defense, he easily hit a board shot under the basket and scored a goal.
The New York Knicks scored 2 points first!
After seeing this scene, Han Ning stood on the sidelines and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Today's game seems to be a little simpler than he imagined?!
