Chapter 214: Huaguo Connection

In the first quarter, he was still the best player in the entire Knicks, he averaged 23+9 per game in the Suns last season, and now he scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter.

His shooting percentage is also very high, and the Wizards' interior defense is still a little underwhelming for a face-frame monster like Si.

Blatchefu is too poor, from reaction speed to explosiveness, Li Kaiming's speed can keep up, but his interior defensive attributes have not been improved, and he is not very experienced, and he has been shot several times in the middle distance.

The second quarter of the game quickly kicked off with anticipation from the crowd, with both sides taking on key rotation players.

The Wizards let Li Kaiming and Yi Jianlian form a space-based interior combination, but they couldn't prevent Si anyway, so they simply stretched the space to the maximum, and Sanders played the next two cards at the beginning of the second quarter.

The Knicks' rotation is more rigid, and D'Antoni is a coach who doesn't like to be impromptu, he likes to build the team's system before the game, and then he can sit on the sidelines and watch the team he designed run like a precision instrument.

So his rotation is basically something anyone who knows about the Knicks can guess.

The backup point guard took Tony Douglas, a quality player selected by the Lakers with the 29th pick in the first round last year, who averaged 8 points and two assists per game in his rookie season, and after being traded to the Knicks, he quickly established himself in the team, and then became the best choice for the backup point guard of the Anthony system.

The backup forward was Wilson Chandler, a split-point player who was picked up by the Knicks with the 23rd pick in the first round in 2007.

This guy averaged 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season, and if Gallinari hadn't been put in the starting lineup by D'Antoni at No. 3, he could have steadily occupied a starting position.

The center was replaced by a second-round pick center Ronnie Turiaev, who was traded from the Lakers, and averaged 4+4 per game last season.

On the Wizards' side, due to Nick Young's performance as a war criminal in the first quarter, Sanders finally couldn't help it, directly took the former down, and then pointed at Nick Young on the bench and scolded.

Of course, criticism is not enough, Sanders replaced Nick Young with Sun Yue, who performed well in garbage time in the last game, so that as soon as the Wizards came up in the second quarter, Li Kaiming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue appeared on the court at the same time, and all the Chinese fans stood up directly!

The game started quickly, and the Wizards served.

Hinrich dribbled to the front court and borrowed Li Kaiming to cover and prepare to break through Turyaf, Li Kaiming pulled out to create space for Hinrich, and the rest of the people were also standing outside.

The Knicks have never seen this kind of offensive formation where all five players stand on the outside, and they are still defending from the three-point line in traditional basketball.

Soon the Wizards taught D'Antoni and the Knicks a lesson.

It was relatively easy for Turian to break through Turyaf, and after arriving in the penalty area, the defender Yi Jianlian's Si returned to the penalty area to help Turyaf suppress Synrich.

Hinrich flicked the ball out and gave it to Yi Jianlian, who was in the vacant position at the phosphorus corner.

Si immediately pounced towards the bottom corner, and Landry Field, the scoring guard on the same side, also went towards Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian did not hesitate, and immediately passed the ball to Sun Yue, and Fields, who defended Sun Yue, was transferred, and Sun Yue made a decisive shot after three points!

Entered!

28 to 29!

The Wizards are ahead by 1 point!

Kate, the dismissal at the scene, just said as usual, "Sun Yue, a substitute player also from Huaguo, got his first point on the court!" ”

But he didn't know what Sun Yue's goal meant to Chinese fans!

In a game in the NBA, there were two Chinese people, and one of them also gave an assist to the other!

In the live broadcast room of Huaguo Sports Channel, there was thunderous cheers at this time!

Yu Jia's eyes flashed with tears, "Finally, history will remember this, this is a milestone moment in the history of Chinese basketball, in the NBA, for the first time, a Chinese player gave an assist to another Chinese player!" ”

On the court, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian were also very excited, this was the first time that the two of them played together in the main game, and they cooperated as soon as they came up.

Li Kaiming and Sun Yi high-fived each other in celebration, and then gave the latter a thumbs up!

Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian both laughed!

The Knicks served and gave point guard Tony Douglas a very academic move and could be seen to have received good basic training.

Facing Hinrich, who is much more experienced than him, Douglas cannot single-handedly challenge Hinrich with his own ability, after all, he is not the kind of defender who relies on his body to play.

Si's blocking and dismantling is still D'Antoni's tactic to break everything, but this time the defender has become Yi Jianlian.

After blocking and dismantling, he went to the middle, received a ground-hitting pass from Douglas, and then shot directly from the middle distance.

Yi Jianlian took a step slower, and Si Zhong hit!

30 to 29!

The Wizards' offense still came up with a cross-era five-outside tactic, Sun Yue's three points did not make the Knicks change their defensive strategy, they still stepped on the three-point line defense, and did not expand a centimeter outward.

Li Kaiming dismantled after blocking and dismantling, and went outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Turiaf may have seen that Li Kaiming didn't feel good about the three-point line tonight, so he didn't follow, the most important thing is that Li Kaiming is still one step away from the three-point line, and most people will not choose to shoot in this place.

Otherwise, how could Turyav be a substitute center, allowing a new Russian center forward to directly grab the starting position.

He apparently forgot to pay attention to Litney's three-pointer during the pre-game set-up.

After a few games, the tacit understanding between Hinrich and Li Kaiming grew day by day, seeing that Turyav was still standing stupidly in the three-point line, Hinrich slapped the ball back, the basketball hit the ground, and then bounced into the hands of Li Kaiming at the top of the arc.

Familiar rhythm, Li Kaiming shot directly after getting the ball, and didn't even bother to dribble one step closer to the three-point line.

Turiaf seemed to react, but it was too late, Li Kaiming hit a three-point shot to overtake the score again!

30 to 32!

Si was a little anxious, and hit two consecutive three-point shots in the opposite two rounds, and if he continued to play like this, he would be able to clock out of work in a few rounds!

At this time, the advantage of three points over two points is highlighted.

If it is compiled into a cross talk script, there should be a fat man with eyes singing on stage "Ah~ three points, you have one more point than two points!" ”

The sad Turiaf didn't even have his turn to be criticized by coach D'Antoni, and was scolded directly by the team's boss on the field!

Of course, this scolding is not really scolding, it is just that Turiaf did not defend well and helped him focus his attention back.

The Knicks attacked, Gallinari tried to respond with a three-pointer, but unfortunately missed, and the rebound was protected by Li Kaiming.

Handed over to Hinrich, the Knicks' defense fast break was executed in place, and Li Kaiming was not given any chance to break fast, as long as the ball ran to the backcourt as soon as he shot, he didn't even look at the front court.

D'Antoni's pre-match set-up also played a role.

The Wizards' back-to-back three-pointers finally made the Knicks players start to pay attention to the three-point shot, and then involuntarily moved their feet out a few inches on the defensive end.

These few inches may not be anything to others, but for Li Kaiming, who is good at breaking through, it may be the process of turning from a quiet path to a highway.

So Li Kaiming began to break through the Knicks' formation with the ball in the next half quarter.

Lu Xun said, there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it has become a road.

Li Kaiming's frequent breakthroughs directly opened a hole in the Knicks' outside defense, and the Knicks in the second quarter became a team that could break through any person who saw it.

Even Yi Jianlian can shake up in the middle distance, and then hit a layup!

Although he still wants on the offensive end, he can't support a defensive system on the defensive end, which led to a comprehensive collapse of the Knicks' defense in the second quarter.

At halftime, the Wizards led by 12 points, 65-53!
