'It's hard to believe that the ball was passed by Milicic...... He actually had a flash of inspiration, and it was a left-handed pass. ESPN's McBrin was amazed: "Whether it's the skill, the timing, and the finish of the late pass behind the back, it reminds me of Pau Gasol or Divac back then." ”

"In fact, his draft template that year was Nowitzki plus Kevin Garnett, and Don Nelson was even penalized by the league for illegally going to Europe to watch him play." Reggie Miller said: "But so what? He can only be called a qualified defensive center now. Under Larry Brown's tutelage, he's done the weight gain, his athleticism has diminished, and he can't run like a fawn, or break through with the ball like he showed in the draft tape, and finish the pass and cut like a point guard. The occasional flash of inspiration doesn't change anything. ”

"If you don't treat him as a role model for the 03 generation, he's actually not that bad." Bill Wharton said.

Reggie Miller and Bill Wharton didn't change their minds about Milicic because of the pass.

But McBrin muttered quietly, "Actually... He was only 23 years old. He is younger than LeBron James. ”

At this point, the game continues.

The Cavaliers have consciously controlled the frequency of Shackle O'Neal's singles, and now everyone knows that the Shark's physical strength can only sustain an efficient output for 20 minutes, and once he exceeds this playing time, his fat body will drag down the offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire team.

When the Sharks stopped singles, LeBron James took over the game. He began to pound the paint area ... Gallinari's defense was like a piece of tissue paper to him, easily destroyed with a slight push.

But as soon as he sprinted straight into the paint, he was picked up by Milicic straight out of the air on the first turn.

It made him realize that something was wrong, and that he had rarely had such a determined look in his eyes when he had fought Milicic before.

Swish! Bang!

One of two free throws, the rebound was picked up by Duger, and he instantly launched a sharp and fast offense.

When he started quickly, the Knicks' roster picked up the tempo.

At this point, D'Antoni once again saw the surprising side of Milicic, who was still moving faster than the centre-forward despite the weight gain. At seven feet tall, he has the same coordination as a defender.

This allowed him to quickly get a head start. When Dugg reached the three-point line, his feet also broke into the paint. Immediately, Dugg stuffed the basketball into the restricted area, he received the ball and jumped directly into the basket, dangled a shot, LeBron James flew up from behind him, he shook his left hand, and the basketball was handed over to the corner. Gallinari fires with precision...... Swish!

Basketball hits.

Milicic's extremely patient style of play led to a thumbs up for Dug.

Subsequently, LeBron James still forced the basket and hit a backhand layup.

With both flanks of the team covered in paper, Milicic couldn't have blocked every attack...... It's not something that attitudes can change. After all, LeBron James isn't an idle person either.

Afterwards, Dugg continued to pick up the pace.

O'Neill was quickly left out of the rhythm.

But unfortunately... All three of the Knicks' shooters were in a cold situation.

This allowed the Knicks to take the lead despite taking the tactical initiative.

The first quarter ended quickly, and at 28:27, the Cavaliers who were playing away led by one point.

Next, the Knicks will be even more passive. Because Milicic, who worked wonders in the first quarter, had to return to the bench, his physical reserves were not much better than those of Shackle O'Neal, and his consumption was far greater than O'Neal's.

"Good job." D'Antoni took the initiative to praise Milicic on the bench, and he has decided to put the Serb in the rotation.

He then announced the transition of Zach Randolph, David Lee, Jeffries, Stephana Novak and Chris Dujon.

It's a common rule in the NBA, and teams usually rotate their lineups at the end of the first quarter or early in the second quarter to give the main team a break.

But tonight, McBrown clearly didn't want to play by that rule.

He just replaced Shaq O'Neill and then brought on Ilgauskas.

LeBron James and other main players are all there.

Because in his eyes, there is no need to dwell on the Knicks for too long, and if he can put them in garbage time in two quarters, he will never drag them out to the third quarter.

This arrogance sustains them in a quick victory.

And when the game started, things did turn out as they imagined. LeBron James is a flat horse, and although Jeffries who defends him can be regarded as a half-defensive giant, the player who can defend LeBron James one-on-one in the league has not yet been born.

Coupled with the Knicks' sparse defensive system, LeBron James was simply a hit in the first five minutes.

The Cavaliers took a double-digit lead almost instantaneously.

This made the MVP vocals of Madison Garden even more intense.

Duge's eyebrows furrowed when he listened, and he felt extremely depressed about this 'surrender' behavior. But his teammates sitting next to him seem to have accepted the premise.

"I'm going to play!"

At the fifth minute and 14 seconds of the second quarter, Dugg took the initiative to walk up to D'Antoni as LeBron James hit a three-pointer that extended the margin to 12 points.

He proudly stretched out three fingers, and the whole audience shouted MVP.

This gave him an extremely strong sense of pleasure, as if he had really completed his ascension to the throne here.

Then he deliberately glanced at Duge, and his eyes were full of superiority. He had always been unimpressed by Duge's nickname, and he felt that the 'Duke' was born to reflect him. But when he heard the news that Isaiah Thomas had compared Snoopy to himself, he was immediately strongly offended. So, when a New York reporter asked him what he thought of Thomas's remarks, he directly threw out a response that was not a player of the same level.

Moreover, before he went on the field, he had already decided to kill the majesty of the 'duke' tonight, so that he could know the majesty of the 'king'.

Unfortunately, there has been no opportunity for direct dialogue.

Backbite!

D'Antoni agreed to Dug's request, and Dug quickly walked to the technical desk, and after being confirmed by the statistician, he quickly walked onto the court to replace David Lee.

This is D'Antoni's arrangement, and he hopes that Dugg can go up and strengthen the defense and limit LeBron James's breakaway kills.

Dugg fed the ball to Chris Dujon and the two walked side by side to the frontcourt.

Immediately, Dugg walked into the paint area, and Chris Dujon remained on the outside line.

He's not a quick point guard, he's mechanically working with Zach Randolph in the playbook and then giving the ball to Jeffries, who is forcing a shot...... Bang!

Basketball misses.

LeBron James immediately turned around and tried to rush for the rebound.

However, as soon as he walked into the paint zone, Dugg turned his back and stuck him directly behind him, and even LeBron James could not gain the upper hand with a strong static force.

He could only watch as Zachrandolph jumped quickly under the defense of Ilgoskas, first hitting the basket with his left hand, then making up for it with his right hand after it fell, and finally putting the basketball in with both hands.

One offense, two points, three frontcourt rebounds.

This is Zach Randolph's box-pressing stunt for walking the rivers and lakes.

Soon, LeBron James arrived in the front court with the ball.

He glanced at the positions of the players on both sides, even though Dugg had arrived in the box.

But he still decided to break through.

Ilgoskas immediately walked to the three-point line to make a solid pick-and-roll for him, and he immediately rushed to the basket with an unstoppable momentum.

When he was reckless, he even produced a chilling wind.

No one will want to confront him head-on, even Yao Shu has publicly declared in the media: "Being hit by LeBron James is no different from being hit by a train, and no one wants to break their ribs because of a normal defense, or even lose their career!" ”

Yao Shu's words are exaggerated, but it is true that few people are willing to withstand the thunderous impact of the 'king'!

But.

This time.

The Duke stood under the basket with his eyes like a torch.

He's waiting for LeBron James!

……
