"Melon, melon, melon!"

The Lakers visit Madison Square Garden, and the starting five Tigers have already made their debut.

On the Knicks' side, Alan Houston, Howard Easley, Dicambe Mutombo, and Kurt Thomas were sent successively, until the fans enthusiastically cheered Anthony's nickname, and New York's son Carmelo Anthony made his debut.

After the starters came out, the lights returned to a bright state, and it wasn't long before the players from both sides came to the center circle and the game was about to begin.

"Melon, I heard that New York fans are the most prone to strange thoughts?

But now it seems like you're very fond of them!

Haha, if you are beaten by me, the fans at the scene should be very sad, right? ”

Before the game started, Doon, who was leaning side by side with Anthony and secretly confronting each other, spewed trash talk to his good brother Anthony.

"You can't do it, let's change Kobe!"

In society, I am a brother, and people don't talk much!

Anthony bluntly said that Doon is not his opponent, and in comparison, Anthony wants to beat Kobe Bryant with his own hands, just like Doon wants to compete with Anthony.

The camera returns to the two players jumping in the middle circle, Uncle Mu is old after all, and the jumping ball is actually not as good as Grant.

As soon as the Lakers got possession of the ball, Payton immediately held the ball and pushed quickly.

Just won the Pistons with a fast break, and the Zen master did not take the initiative to deny Payton's style of play, which made Payton more confident and gave birth to more ideas.

The New York Knicks were not a strong team in the first place, even after getting Anthony, the Knicks were a little better than the previous two seasons, but the opening record was only 4-6.

What's more, the Knicks' starting point guard, Howard Easley, is just a veteran with bench strength.

Can't Peyton beat Billups, can't he beat Howard Easley?

As Peyton used to say trash talk back then – I cross you like crossing the road in the morning!

Payton gave Howard Easley a slight push with his protector during the breakaway, and he easily hit the basket.

As soon as Uncle Mu landed in the low post, he had to step into the penalty area to block Payton.

Fortunately, Uncle Mu is big enough and his arm span is long enough.

Payton saw a mountain suddenly appear in front of him, and continued to make a layup for fear of being covered, so he could only break through the ball to Grant in the bottom corner.

Grant wanted to throw himself when he got the ball, but saw that Doon was running towards him not far away.

So, Grant handed the ball to Doon, and then helped Doon block the pursuing Anthony.

Doon got the ball and went beyond the three-point line in the bottom corner, and then he made a jumper.

The big vacancy opportunity after the cover, it is naturally impossible for Doon not to grasp him.

Brush –

The basketball hollow fell into the net, brushing out a crisp splash sound.

3-0, Doon came up without the ball, relied on the style of play that the Syracuse oranges relied on to make a living, and made a three-pointer in front of his former teammate Anthony.

"Melon, want to catch up with me? You're not even close! ”

After scoring the goal, Doon trash talked to Anthony as he reached out to clap his hands with Grant.

However, Anthony was in a trance, and seemed to recall the scene when the orange people in Syracuse fought side by side, and even subconsciously stretched out his hand to Doon.

Seeing this, Doon immediately stepped forward, and before Anthony could realize that the situation was wrong and retract his hand, Doon went up and patted Anthony's palm, and then stepped forward and patted Anthony's buttocks.

"Haha, melon, you've been fooled! We're already rivals! The battle has begun, so you have to concentrate! ”

Seeing that Doon had returned to the backcourt, Anthony came back to his senses, and his dark face suddenly became a little more rosy.

"Wait, see if I don't kill you!" Anthony gritted his teeth and caught up with Doon.

Then he ran to the elbow area and turned his back to Doon to get the ball.

Doon knew that Anthony was going to single-handedly fight him, so he immediately went up to entangle and wrestle with Anthony.

When he was single-handedly with Anthony before, after all, he was just joking, and Doon didn't restrict Anthony with small movements, and now it's a game, and Doon naturally does everything.

In addition to the indiscriminate methods of digging out the crotch and inserting the eyes, Doon is no different from other iron-blooded tough guys and defensive giants.

Anthony was not very comfortable receiving the ball under Doon's aggressive defense, but he still got the ball in his hands.

So he first adjusted his state with a back fight, but Doon's confrontation was not bad at all, and his strength was more advantageous, and Anthony couldn't play space, so he could only turn around and face Doon.

Tentative step three threats, shook twice without shaking Doon's center of gravity, and then turned his back as if to turn and break through.

That is, Doon is familiar with Anthony, and he has singled out Anthony twice before, and the others have been shaken off by Anthony.

Anthony saw Doon move in front of him in small steps, so he turned back to the front and made a Buddha breakthrough, and Doon could only prevent Anthony's breakthrough first.

However, at this time, Anthony suddenly collected the ball, and then stepped back to make a jumper.

Doon flew out, but Anthony had already thrown the ball out.

When the basketball hits the basket, the basketball still bounces into the basket with the force of rotation attached to the basketball when shooting.

"Seriously, you almost stopped me!"

After Anthony's successful singles, he trash-talk Dhorn while showing his trademark big smile.

One thing to say, because of the lack of arm span, Doon really can't defend against a giant planet like Anthony.

However, this kind of ball is very difficult, and the hit rate is correspondingly not much higher.

Now that the game has just started, Anthony has physical strength and can maintain high efficiency for a period of time, and when Anthony's physical strength declines, his offensive ability will naturally drop by one or two notches.

To put it bluntly, Anthony can shoot a maximum of 20 shots a game, but he can't shoot 30 or 40, and the shooting rate is 50%, which means that he can score 20 points on jump shots at most.

Therefore, Doon is not worried at all that he will be killed by Anthony with this mid-range jumper.

Normally, you should start with a simple ball in a game, and the more simple balls you hit, the easier it is to win the game.

The star's difficult ball is to cover the bottom, and if the first three quarters are all such difficult balls, then it will be too hard to win the game.

Although Anthony won the NCAA championship, he clearly didn't understand the right way to win.

Doon is different, Doon recognizes his own strength and position in the team.

With the help of Payton, Kobe, Malone and others, they quickly figured out the right way to win.

In the first quarter, Doon played as much as possible without the ball, either catching the ball and shooting three-pointers, or cutting in the air and hitting the simple ball on a fast break.

Doon just had to save his energy and sanction Anthony in the second half.

Anthony, on the other hand, indulged in the joy of singles Doon's success, the more he played, the more excited he became, and the more he played, the more he looked like a bitter melon.

In the first quarter, Doon went off the court two minutes earlier than Anthony.

Doon played more than eight minutes, shooting 3-of-5 from the field and 2-of-3 from three-point range to finish with eight points, two rebounds and two assists.

Anthony played more than 10 minutes, shooting 4-of-9 from the field, 1-of-3 from three-point range, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and 11 points and 2 rebounds.

The 11 points in a single quarter did reflect Anthony's ability, but the score on the court was 27-22, and it can also be seen that Anedon scored a lot of singles and could not help the Knicks take any lead.

As the game entered the second quarter, Doon continued to start, while Anthony was still resting below.

Doon, who is good at launching onslaught in the second quarter, quickly scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists with Payton's cooperation.

At the same time, the difference between the two teams was also stretched to 11 points.

Anthony didn't expect Doon to be so good off the bench.

However, because the point difference has opened up by double digits, Anthony has not bothered to think about it, and Doon's statistics are already ahead of him across the board.

After Anthony returned to defend Doon, Doon's scoring efficiency also decreased significantly, and Anthony once again gained the upper hand with his super offensive ability.

At the end of the first half, Anthony had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and Doon had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

Just looking at the data, Anthony is really not much better than Doon.

The game entered the third quarter, and the Lakers directly started all the pressures, obviously wanting to close the game early.

Knicks head coach Don Cheney had to play the main game and continue to send Anthony, who was not well rested, to the court.

Anthony has good physical strength, but he is not a physical monster either. And outside players who are good at shooting often fail because of shooting at critical moments.

In the third quarter, Anthony's offensive firepower was obviously not as strong as in the first half.

And Doon, who defended Anthony, was still alive and well.

"Melon, aren't you okay? Then hurry up and throw in the towel! ”

Doon continues to taunt Anthony, hoping that Anthony will continue to hit him with the ball in his back.

Only with Anthony's large number of iron striking data to prove that Doon did prevent Anthony, Doon was embarrassed to say to outsiders, I didn't win by traveling at the wrong peak.

"Melon, isn't he your little brother in college? You're going to find a way to get him! ”

Just when Anthony was overwhelmed by Doon's defense, Alan Houston, who was dizzy by Kobe's defense, also stimulated Anthony in a timely manner.

Anthony could only grit his teeth and continue to single Doon, and then DuangDuangDuangDuang's iron sound.

"Melon, it looks like it's only Los Angeles goodbye! Fourth quarter is supposed to be garbage time, and I won't play again! ”

With only a few seconds left in the third quarter and the gap between the two teams stretched to 23 points, Doon had already begun to say goodbye to Anthony.

Anthony was a little unwilling when he heard this: "I didn't lose to you!" ”

Anthony had only three quarters of play and had 29 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and Anthony did everything he had to do.

"That's right, I have better teammates!"

Doon didn't deny it, and the straightforward words were like a knife that went straight into Anthony's heart.

In fact, Doon scored a double-double of 22 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, and if the fourth quarter continues, the triple-double data will definitely not run.

Compared to 20+ triple-doubles and 30+ points, Anthony really can't say that he really beats Doon.

"I won't lose again next time!"

Anthony is no longer hard-mouthed, so he can only meet in Los Angeles to play away and fight another tough battle.

"Goodbye, melon, I'll be waiting for you in Los Angeles."

After clocking out of the third quarter, Doon waved goodbye to Anthony.
