Chapter 219: Bloodwashed Madison
"Wilson took the ball to attack in the second quarter. If the opportunity is not good, don't break through easily. Compared with the Thunder's inside, their outside is easier to score. "Danthony was drawing tactics frantically on the tactical board. As for how much the players with low morale can listen to, he had no scruples at all.
After hearing D'Antoni's arrangement, David Lee was undoubtedly the one with the lowest morale. He was named Wilson Chandler with the ball to attack, which means that D'Antoni had given up his plan to continue to fight the Thunder's inside.
Indeed, after Angel and Morris joined forces, his offensive efficiency was indeed not good. But before that, he was also the Knicks' number one scorer!
"David! Pull it out and give Wilson a pick-and-roll. You can't attack at low post, as this just fits the heart of that guy Van Gundy." D'Antony's shouting pulled David Lee back.
"Yeah." David Lee hummed softly. Although D'Antoni made such arrangements, he asked him to admit that he could not score under the Thunder's defense? No, it would never be possible!
The three most important guys in the Thunder team's inside are just yi groups of rookies! What's the terrible thing about yi groups of rookies? David Li Ke doesn't believe this evil.
The second quarter began soon, and David Lee showed up happily after he came on the court, and Anjie was still pressed on the bench by Van Gundy. This means that the Thunder's only two rookies, Morris and Ibaka, were guarded by him. David Lee felt that it was time for him to save face!
"Is it really okay? You know that David Lee's offensive skills are really good." An Jie turned his head and looked at the coach sitting next to him.
"Don't worry, don't you know your brother's abilities?" Van Gundy was still calm. Morris and Ibaka didn't play much time, so the glory of these two people was covered up.
................
The Knicks players faithfully implemented D'Antoni's arrangement. As soon as Du Hong passed the ball through half the game, he handed over the offensive power to Wilson Chandler.
As soon as Chandler got the ball, David Lee pulled out to make a wall for him. Morris knew that David Lee's shooting was no worse than Angel. He followed him without leaving the inside and handed over the full power to Ibaka for protection.
Wilson Chandler has excellent athletic ability, can break through and shoot. He borrowed David Lee's pick-and-roll and immediately entered the inside, but compared to break through, Chandler obviously prefers shooting.
Ibaka was ready to fight and grew up in the three-second zone to welcome Chandler's arrival. Unexpectedly, Chandler suddenly stopped and jumped into the game!
Durant was also deceived by Chandler's sudden stop in his high state, so he did not make any effective interference. The basketball shot by Chandler immediately worked when he saw the changes he made. D'Antoni waved his fist hard on the sidelines.
The passion of the Knicks fans was also ignited again. Throughout the first quarter, they hardly saw the Knicks play such a smooth attack.
"The Knicks' offense seems to have improved, how will the Thunder deal with it?" With the commentator's commentator, the camera cooperated very well to Van Gundy. However, this guy was still sitting calmly on the bench, talking and laughing with An Jie, as if he didn't care about the situation on the field at all.
"Dududu! Wilson Chandler made a foul and Durant made a free throw!" Wilson Chandler is indeed capable, but don't forget that the Thunder's small forward is the current league scoring champion!
Is Van Gundy anxious? He doesn't believe that Durant will be compared by Chandler.
Anjie sat on the bench for a long time in the second quarter. To be precise, the Thunder's lineup has not changed for a long time. Van Gundy seemed to be very dedicated to chatting with Anjie. It is rare that he has forgotten that his team is playing on the court?
But even so, the New York Knicks did not play better than the yi quarter.
During this period, David Lee tried to play singles with Morris several times, but he found that he seemed to underestimate the Thunder's rookie inside. He made four shots on Morris' head, but only received a decent two points for the Knicks.
Wilson Chandler's performance is indeed worth mentioning, but with Durant's strong offensive performance, Chandler's six points seem so insignificant.
It took eight minutes for Van Gundy to send Anjie up and lead the team's second team.
An Jie plays with the second team, which means An Jie will be the main attack point of the whole game.
When Anjieyi came on the court, his actions made the Knicks fans confused.
Thunder substitute point guard Sean Livingston just brought the ball across the center line, and Anger raised his hand to ask for the ball. And he wanted the ball at 45 degrees on the left side of the three-point line!
"What does An wants to do? It's not the garbage time yet!" Mike Bryn watched many games with Anger, but he wanted the ball outside the three-point line, which was the first time he returned.
Others don't know what Anjie wants to do, but Livingston is very clear. He did not hesitate and made an accurate pass, allowing Anjie to hold the ball from the outside of the three-point line.
Everyone's attention was focused on Angel, including the Knicks' players, who wanted to know what this big Asian man wanted to do.
"Stop looking down on others!" Knicks' rookie center Jordan Hill pressed Anjie tightly, and a center with no three-point shooting ability went to the outside of the three-point line to hold the ball. Isn't this clearly looking down on his own defense? Do you still want to break through outside the three-point line like a defender?
Everyone was wondering what would happen to Anjie, but ignored Livingston, who passed the ball for Anjie, had already cut into the inside without any obstacles.
Angel didn't even look at Livingston's position, but completed the pass on Jordan Hill in a hook position. The ball was passed accurately and quickly, and the Knicks players had no time to intercept.
After defender Ston easily received the ball, Angel's pass penetrated the entire defense of the Knicks. After Livingston received the ball, he faced a basket that was just unguarded.
"Anjie! It's really fun!" Yu Jia smiled and shook his head. At the same time, Livingston easily made a layup. Although Anjieyi did not score on the court, he still made everyone remember him.
More than ten seconds later, the Thunder made a comeback. After this, An Jie did not fall outside the three-point line again. He ran to the inside line in a regular manner, as if he was ready to take the position.
When everyone was not in a good position, it was Livingston again. He quickly passed, but Anjie got the basketball two steps outside the three-second zone on the left side of the basket.
Jordan Hill lowered his center of gravity, and he knew that Anger's breakthrough in the middle distance was also threatening.
Unexpectedly, before Anjie turned around after getting the ball, he didn't even hold the ball with both hands, so he used a very fast pass to send the ball to the inside.
Livingston arrived, received an Ager's pass, and then faced the unguarded basket again and scored a one-handed dunk.
Two consecutive passes from different positions, but two passes were passed by a model.
"God! Is Divac possessed? No, An's passes are more beautiful than Divac!" McBrien has no words to describe Anger. A big center broke down the opponent's defense twice in a row with just passing. When the main players such as Durant and Westbrook came off the court, the court seemed to have become Anger's personal stage.
The third time, Anjie was not playing the silly. He played singles with Jordan Hill in the low post. When he pushed to the basket, he suddenly quickly transferred himself to the basket. He held the ball with both hands and raised it over his head, tiptoed, as if he was about to jump and dunk on the spot.
The furious Jordan Hill naturally would not miss any chance to block Angel. He had excellent athletic ability and jumped with all his strength, but he was the only one who flew in the air.
Angel lightly twitched Jordan Hill!
When Hill was still in the air, Anjie actually took off.
"Bang!" The basket of Madison Square Garden Arena was torn to pieces by Angel again. Spike Lee covered his eyes and was unwilling to see the tragic curtain.
Finally, Anjie ended the "slaughter" in the second quarter with an iconic retreat jump shot. After the half, Anjie looked at David Li with a provocative look. Are you not your skills excellent? Then let's compare who is better and more comprehensive!
David Lee gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. The more he did this, the happier Anjie would be, because his goal was achieved.
If David Lee loses his calmness, he will almost be able to turn the tide in the second half.
The second half of the second quarter became An Jie's solo show, he passed, dunked, shot, and hooked. He had all kinds of martial arts. With An Jie's wonderful performance, people have forgotten the existence of David Lee.
David Lee? You are behind the scenes, and now the most gorgeous insider is Anjie!
63 to 47, the Knicks fell behind the Thunder 6 points at home. In just 24 minutes, the Thunder defeated the Knicks.
Yi's halftime adjustment did not make the Knicks much change. David Lee, who lost his mind, played crazy singles in the inside. He made six shots and got the same score as Yi in the second quarter, with two points.
An Jie was not polite and accepted all five rebounds formed by David Lee's smacking iron.
On the offensive end, Anger continued to show his high passing skills and soft feel. Under his pin-threading, Durant and Westbrook played extremely easily.
Westbrook, who was in high spirits, completed a dunk across the man under Angel's pass. The decent Jeffries became the background of the Thunder's No. 0 defender. Westbrook also reserved a seat for the top ten goals today with this goal.
With 1 minutes left in the third quarter, someone in the stands began to leave the court. This was undoubtedly a huge psychological blow to the Knicks players.
Anjie knew this feeling. When the team played under Calessimo lost nine consecutive games and Thunder fans turned to cheer for the Hornets, Anjie felt very uncomfortable. But now, the Thunder are no longer the bearer of this pain, but the creator.
84 to 65, after the third quarter, the Knicks scored only two more points than the Thunder at the end of the half. In the third quarter, except for David Lee's 6 shots, the others' shooting percentage was not much better. The Knicks made only 7 of 28 shots in the entire third quarter. What reason is there to make fans cheer for them in such a state?
In the fourth quarter, Van Gundy indeed let the third young master of Thunder "check in and get off work". This is the time this season that the Thunder has ended the game early? Van Gundy no longer remembers it, but he likes such moments, and he likes to lock in the victory early.
In the last 1st quarter, people who did not play include David Lee. D'Antoni could no longer bear to see that he wasted opportunities by randomly doing so, so he simply pressed him on the bench.
Actually, it’s not David Lee, who made the Thunder’s inside defense too strong?
Last season, Anjie was not on the court, so the Thunder's inside line would become a weakness again. But the situation this season is completely different, and this is the importance of strengthening the lineup in the summer.
In the fourth quarter, facing the Thunder who had "given" the game, the Knicks finally won yi's lead in a single quarter. 22 to 26, but when the game ended, there were not many people left in the Madison Square Garden Arena.
Spike Lee looked at the stadium dumbly, with his hands on his hips. Has the Knicks been so far? You know, the Thunder were a team that didn't even make the playoffs last season.
Catherine put her hands together and put them on her chest, smiling unstoppable. Is there anything more fulfilling than victory? Yes, that is, the tenth consecutive victory.
yiyio is 88, and Madison Square Garden Arena has a "bloody case". This is not the first time this has been massacred, but it is rare to be massacred by a team that is not considered a powerful person.
Chapter completed!
