The Knicks attacked, and Duncan took the initiative to ask for the ball frame on the wing to single Millsap.

As a short and stocky power forward, Millsap is extremely stable in the game, but he is only a little over two meters tall after all.

On the court, after winning the ball, I saw Duncan first grab the ball with one hand, then fake a real pass, and feed the ball directly over the top to Yao Ming, who had just blocked Korver on the outside and cut to the Hornets basket.

As long as the Hornets don't stop Xiao Yao from cutting to the basket at the first time, the Hornets are destined to be difficult to prevent Xiao Yao from scoring under their own basket.

CCTV, after Yao Ming scored two points for the Knicks under the basket, Director Zhang commented: "The cooperation between Duncan and Yao Ming can really be described as a heavy sword without a blade, and it is a big coincidence!" ”

On the side, Yu Jia said with a smile: "In this game, the two teams of the Hornets and the Knicks are in stark contrast.

One is the team that likes to play high in the NBA today, and the other is a team that is known for catching opponents and converting offense, playing as fast as they can on the court. ”

At the scene, before Yu Jia's voice fell, the Hornets quickly sent out a baseline ball after losing points.

In response to the Hornets' high-speed transition, Brown's strategy tonight is roughly the same as the tactics Wang Shuo used against those fast-break teams back then, mainly to press the ball carriers on the Hornets court.

This ball, looking at Curry, who got rid of Rondo after dribbling twice in a row on the court, on the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who felt that his blood pressure had come up in an instant, immediately turned around and called Paul.

Admittedly, Curry is the kind of player you need to give him some space to play so he can be the best on the court......

But you have to admit it......

Sometimes, Curry's worst solutions on the court ......

It's really going to make you want to kick him in the foot.

Take this ball as an example......

In the face of Rondo's pressure, Curry could have calmly used Garnett's cover to dribble through the halfcourt.

While the Hornets are likely to miss a chance to switch offense for this, the Hornets, in turn, can effectively avoid a low-level turnover.

But what was Curry's choice just now?

To put it nicely, this ball is called Curry's dare show, and the show is done.

But to put it mildly, this ball is just play.

But......

On the court, just as Wang Shuo was about to give Paul a face-to-face opportunity, after dribbling through the halfcourt, Curry hit another three-pointer for the Hornets from the outside.

As we all know, as a good head coach, "changing face" is also a must-learn course.

So at this moment, after patting Paul's shoulder, I saw Wang Shuoxuan change his face.

What pulls blood pressure?

When did Curry pull his Wang Shuo's blood pressure?

Is it okay to have nothing at all?

Come back, the Knicks have the ball.

Rondo hung a pass inside after blocking and dismantling in the high post and Yao Ming, and Yao Jr. scored two more points for the Knicks under the basket.

Garnett gave Curry a black cauldron in this defense.

Because originally, according to Wang Shuo's pre-game arrangement, Curry should have delayed Xiaoyao's descent with Garnett.

But at this moment, Curry, who still needs time to improve his defensive habits, took the initiative to make way for Yao Ming when defending.

Seeing this, some people may ask, with Curry's small body, can he really block Yao Ming's forward route?

Answer...... In basketball, who told you that when the defender takes a position early, the offense can rely on brute force to get a more advantageous offensive position?

Let's just say, is it possible that there is a rule in basketball called the offense hitting someone and fouling?

Unfortunately, Curry, who still needs to be strengthened at the moment, doesn't realize that he just missed a great opportunity to draw an offensive foul on Yao Ming.

And this is also one of Curry's biggest weaknesses during this period.

TNT TV, when commenting on the Hornets' defense, Barkley, who has always been fair and impartial, did not forcibly protect Curry because of his liking for Curry, but said: "This is Stephen Curry, he has his angelic side, and he also has his devilish side." ”

On the court, the Hornets have the ball.

This time, under Rondo's pressure, Curry didn't get too good a chance.

However, on the flanks, Clay coldly gave Wang Shuo a hammer in the chest.

Because without fully running the chance, Klay received a pass from Garnett and fired a three-pointer from Korver.

At this moment, Wang Shuo couldn't help but think of the group of Warriors fans in his memory.

Don't blow it, don't black it.

In Wang Shuo's view, the Warriors fans in his memory are definitely warriors in the true sense.

Because this TM has to be a good heart......

Can you support the Warriors who have the same Hornets as this Hornets for many years and have the "Spray Brothers" of Curry and Klay?

No!

Wouldn't these two guys be able to play if they weren't wasted?

Hmmm——!

On the sidelines, after a long sigh, Wang Shuo once again showed his ability to change his face and said, "I knew that this kid Clay could do it!" ”

On the side, looking at Wang Shuo, who was calm at this moment, his heart had been ploughed back and forth several times by 10,000 grass and mud horses in these few offensive and defensive rounds, and Director Lu suddenly had an inexplicable admiration for Wang Shuo.

However, Director Lu may not believe it when he says it......

In fact, even the well-informed Wang Shuo almost smashed the tactical board in his hand in anger just now.

Because, Clay's offensive choice just now is also the worst solution.

You know, when Klay finished shooting, the Hornets still had about 12 seconds to attack, so Klay could have just grabbed the ball and reorganized the offense with his teammates.

No doubt......

This Hornets are destined to bring Wang Shuo a different experience in the final years of his coaching career.

Because it is different from the past when Wang Shuo was always able to suppress the opponent through tactics, and helped his players play better on the field through reasonable layout and personnel rotation......

The Hornets, who have both Curry and Klay, have decided, even if it is Wang Shuo, they can't expect what kind of offense the Hornets can play on the court in the next second.

After all, Van Curry and Klay can be slightly more reasonable...... Durant will not be cast a psychological shadow in Wang Shuo's memory, and decisively chooses to join if he can't beat it in the coming year.

In the center of the spectrum, halfway through the first quarter, Wang Shuo's heart, which had been hanging in his throat tonight, could be regarded as returning to the position it should have returned.

Because in the second half of the first quarter, with Paul on the court, the Hornets' offense immediately became organized.

At the same time, on the Knicks bench, after years of precipitation, Brown, who was much calmer than when he led the Knicks to play against Wang Shuo before, replaced Yao Ming with West step by step.

Brown is well aware that when Curry and Paul are on the floor at the same time, it is the fastest offensive tempo of the Hornets on the court.

Therefore, he must let Xiao Yao temporarily avoid the edge in order to let Xiao Yao exert his power in the subsequent matches.

On the pitch, Brown's substitution also worked wonders.

Because at the end of the first quarter, although Paul did create a lot of opportunities for his teammates to go straight to the frame......

But the 37-year-old Duncan once again proved to the world on this night that he is the No. 1 forward in history with his rim.

CCTV, after Duncan knocked out Curry's layups twice in a row, Director Zhang said with an emotional expression: "Today's Duncan's inside line is really a good deal, don't open it!" ”

In addition, Korver, whom the Knicks brought in last summer, also hit two consecutive three-pointers for the Knicks at the end of the first quarter.

And, to the ecstasy of the majority of Kuhei in front of the TV, Korver hit both three-pointers in front of Curry.

However......

What this group of Kuhei never expected was that before they could take tonight's evidence to criticize Curry, during the interval, Wang Shuo took the lead in holding Curry's meeting.

Wake up, the NBA is not a rice circle.

Even if Wang Shuo usually favors Curry, he will not choose to protect Curry brainlessly when Curry is frequently out of position on the defensive end tonight.

In Wang Shuo's view, the kind of fans who can't accept a few words of truth from others when their favorite stars are not playing well are not worthy of being called fans at all.

During the break, I saw Wang Shuo first scolding Curry in front of everyone, and then praised Garnett and Leonard, who had taken the blame for Curry many times in the first quarter of the game.

And at this moment, in the face of Wang Shuo's criticism, although Curry was very aggrieved in his heart, he still hung his head silently.

At this moment, the reason why Curry silently hung his head was because he himself knew that he didn't defend well.

As for grievances?

Alas!

In this world, as long as it is a human being, who will not be wronged when accepting criticism?

Before the start of the second quarter of the game, while everyone's attention was on the court, I saw Curry quietly wrapping around Wang Shuo's side and elbowing Wang Shuo's waist firmly.

Seeing this, Wang Shuo was not angry.

Because he knows that Curry is willing to vent his little emotions in this way, which means that he has realized his mistakes.

So, after laughing and hugging Curry, Wang Shuo also took the opportunity to teach Curry: "Stephen...... Do you know why I'm criticizing you more and more this season? ”

Curry shook his head.

Wang Shuo continued: "Because the past was before, and the present is now.

In the past, you played the role of the Lakers at that time, just Kobe's deputy.

And now you, playing the role of this wasp, are the savior.

Therefore, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility, and the responsibility on your shoulders is not the same as before. ”

Hearing this, looking at Wang Shuo's expectant gaze at him, Curry suddenly felt that he was full of endless power.

On the court, in the second quarter of the game, the Knicks reintroduced Yao Ming, who only played half a quarter in the first quarter, and sent O'Neal Jr., Ariza, Jr. Smith and Douglas to partner with him.

In this second lineup, the Knicks still have the absolute upper hand on the inside.

And, for the Hornets, the second quarter of the game has just begun......

They got a piece of news that was extremely unfavorable to them.

That's ......

Jr. Smith won the God Card tonight!

This season, Smith has been his best in recent years, both in terms of competitive form and on-court performance.

The reason is, with the addition of the catfish Korver......

After losing his starting position, he burst out with infinite vitality on the field.

In the NBA, it's impossible for any team aiming for a championship to stay on the same lineup all the time.

Especially those teams that have had success in the NBA.

Because as you succeed more and more, you can't guarantee that all the players on your team will still be as aggressive as before, and that the players on your team will not change their mindsets.

On the court, at the beginning of the second quarter, Smith burst out and took advantage of Yao Ming's attraction on the court to score eight points in a row for the Knicks and stop the Hornets.

In this game, the Knicks' determination to win the championship has been undoubtedly shown in the game.

Take Yao Ming, who travels at the staggered peak in the second section, as an example.

On the field, in order to help the team defeat the Hornets, Yao Ming, who knew that his ability to attack the fortification was no longer as good as that of the year, did not put up a shelf in the case of staggered peak travel, and waited for his teammates to take him to lie down and win.

Instead, he took the initiative to take on a lot of dirty work and tiring work at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

In basketball, the individual performance of a star is certainly one of the ways to help the team win.

But as a team sport......

Individual star performances aren't the only way a team can win on the pitch.

This night, in Wang Shuo's opinion, is definitely the most leader-like night since Yao Ming entered the NBA.

In the second quarter of the game, under the leadership of Xiao Yao, the Knicks not only overtook the score in one fell swoop, but also helped the main team establish a lead of about ten points before the Hornets changed back to the main team.

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, this is the first time this season that Paul has lost by as many as 15 points to the bench.

I have to say that this whole team is united by the Knicks......

Indeed, in a sense, it is the best Knicks since he left New York.

In the second quarter of the game, the original amazing Spectrum Center was obviously much quieter because of the excellent play of the visiting Knicks.

Fortunately, tonight's Curry is a trustworthy "Heavenly Library".

On the court, in the second half of the second quarter, after Curry scored 11 points for the Hornets in succession, the Hornets, who finally stabilized their position, successfully rewrote the score of the two teams to 61-58 before the end of the first half.

CCTV, seeing this scene, Director Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This season, many people are picking on Curry's shortcomings for one or another......

But there is one thing that Curry is far from being matched by other players.

That's how explosive he is on the court at a certain point, and he can always help this Hornets turn the tide in an instant. ”

On the side, Yu Jia also said: "Judging from the performance of the game in the second quarter, the Knicks are definitely the better side.

Offensively and defensively, the Knicks did the best they could tonight.

But Curry is such an unreasonable player......

He is indeed the NBA's well-deserved regular season MVP this season. ”

One angel, one devil.

Admittedly, in the first half tonight, Curry caused the Hornets to drop a lot of points because of his defense, which can be praised by Harden.

Can you come back......

On this night, Curry has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Knicks fans.

No......

Rondo has already defended you so much......

Why......

Why can you still enter?
