Chapter Seventy-Two: This Apple Is Not Easy to Gnaw
Before the San Antonio Spurs-New York Knicks game began, the Spurs were the first to arrive in the visiting locker room at the Madison Arena. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Wow, New Yorkers are so rich, and so are the visitors' locker rooms." Qin Yan really had the feeling that the people in the village had entered the city.
"Hey, Qin, don't be like a countryman, it's too embarrassing." Green quipped with disdain.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, change into training clothes, and then let's warm up." Duncan showed the temperament of a big boss at this time.
"Hi, guys, welcome to New York." Suddenly, there was a somewhat quaint greeting from the door of the locker room.
The crowd stopped and looked towards the gate.
Three figures appeared at the door, led by Anthony.
"Cameron?" Qin Yan had some doubts in his heart, what are you here for?
"Cameron, are you here to say hello or what?" This kind of dialogue between the bosses is better handled by Duncan now.
"Hello, of course." Anthony really deserves to be a person who eats both black and white, and looks very angry, "This is my territory, as the host, I should come to welcome you." ”
"You're not here to get off the horse, are you?" Duncan suddenly put on a straight face, looking like a black boss.
"Uh-huh. Do I need to do that? I'm the owner here. Anthony reacted quickly and immediately cooperated with Duncan.
"Alright, Cameron." Ginobili directly punctured the role-play of these two people. "You can't just say hello to Tim."
"Haha" The two of them couldn't hold back, so the three big guys of the Knicks and various acquaintances of the Spurs began to hug, after all, these three people have been in the league for so long, and a group of old men of the Spurs are familiar with them.
"Cameron, introduce you to our two young people, Ke Huai and Qin." Duncan put his arm around a little brother and introduced him to Anthony.
"You're the one I'm facing tonight, come on, boy." Anthony patted Leonard on the shoulder first, and then turned to Qin Yan, "You are that Chinese kid, you have been very popular recently." There aren't many people who can be recognized by Bryant, and you're the first of this year's rookies. ”
"I..." Qin Yangang wanted to say something.
Anthony waved his hand, "I heard that JR is a little upset with you. But don't take it personally, JR is not bad, if you have any contradictions, solve them by yourself in today's game, I won't interfere. ”
Qin Yan was a little stunned, what does this Anthony mean? I don't care about JR's provocation at all.
But I have to say that Anthony, the boss, is still quite righteous, and his younger brother is not impartial when he provokes trouble, which is very good, quite like that.
"Okay, okay, don't get so nervous," Parker came out of the round, "We'll see you on the field." ”
"That's it," and a few acquaintances began to talk to each other.
"Okay, you can go ahead and change your clothes, see you later." After a while, Anthony felt that the time was almost up, and was polite, and then went out with Kidd and Stoudemire.
"What the hell are these three people doing?" Qin Yan didn't understand it a little, is this a family friendship?
"Alas, master, come here to chat, show off, and by the way, put pressure on your heart." Ginobili hugged Qin Yan, "Just don't be influenced by him." ”
"It's not me who is under pressure today, it's Xiaoka." Qin Yan looked indifferent.
Leonard's face was calm, and the facial paralysis mode was turned on.
"Alright, boys, get ready to get to work!" Popovich began to summon his men.
"Come on, come on, cheer up" Duncan led the whole team "Spurs!" ”
"Winning !!" There was a neat roar from the whole locker room!
……
Later in the day, Madison Arena.
I have to say that Knicks fans really love this team, even when the results are not good, they did not give up on them, this year the team has a dream starter, and fans hope that the team can usher in new glory.
Today's Knicks start is still the same as usual, Chandler, Stoudemire, Anthony, Shambaught and Kidd, JR, who tweeted before the game to give Qin Yan a look, is still on the bench.
The Spurs are still old starters, Split, Duncan, Leonard, Qin Yan and Parker. Now that the Spurs have basically set this set of starters, there will be no changes without special circumstances.
"Tim. Today I'll teach your little brother a lesson, don't you mind. Before jumping the ball, Anthony said to Duncan.
"Hehe, you have the ability to go, I believe in the ability of Kehuai and Qin." Duncan looked indifferent.
"I don't care about that Chinese kid, my goal is that little facial paralysis." Anthony's goal is clear.
Duncan shook his shoulders, Leonard was actually more stable than Qin, and he was too calm.
The two sides began to jump the ball, Chandler deserved to be tall and long and bounced, and grabbed the ball directly, and the elder Kidd dribbled the ball against Parker unhurriedly to the three-point line, and handed the ball to Anthony.
In front of Anthony, Leonard spread his long arms, tried to expand his defensive range, and stared at Anthony's movements.
Anthony usually likes to play some tricks, and it is his characteristic to use tricks to play tricks and then score goals. But today, he didn't do that, a simple crotch change direction, he killed directly to his left side.
As soon as Leonard wanted to chase after him, he felt like he had hit a wall with the sound of "Peng", and when he looked up, Stoudemire didn't know when he was already by his side.
What's going on? Xiao Si took the initiative to block Anthony? Or is it such a good quality block?! Is this still the Stoudemire that everyone remembers? You must know that in the first few games, unless Anthony summoned and had to summon many times, Stoudemire would not have come out of the penalty area at all!
Leonard didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly bypassed Xiao Si, Anthony's speed was not fast, and he could still catch up if he chased it now.
At this time, Anthony was in front of Duncan, and Leonard also chased after him from behind, if he forced his shot at this time, the chances of this goal being scored were not high.
Everyone at the Spurs felt that Anthony was ready to make a move, because it was in line with his character.
But no one expected that Anthony suddenly put the ball away, threw it back to his head, and threw it back to Xiao Si! Xiao Si's side, no one is watching!
While Stoudemire's mid-range shooting isn't top-notch, it's above average. Like this kind of big vacancy, his mid-range shot is still spectrum, he jumped easily and threw the ball in, and the Knicks successfully scored the first attack!
The Spurs players were dumbfounded.
Passing the ball after blocking and pick-and-roll? Oh my god, this is the Knicks? Are you sure it's not the Jazz of the year? I really didn't see these tricks in the footage of the first few games, what are the Knicks doing?
The Spurs were a little caught off guard, and the Knicks in front of them seemed to have changed into a team, no longer the team they saw in the video, no cooperation, and scattered sand, but a united team that closely focused on blocking and dismantling tactics.
Anthony and Stoudemire, in particular, have finally developed chemistry, and the two of them have a variety of offensive options after the pick-and-roll, and whoever holds the ball will put a lot of pressure on the Spurs. Coupled with the slow heat and discomfort of the Spurs at the beginning, the two worked together to play a wave of 10-2 small climax, which made the momentum of the whole team more and more vigorous, so that Popovich, who was watching the game from the sidelines, had to quickly pause and interrupt.
The fans began to cheer, wave after wave. That's right, that's what the Knicks should look like, and such a good lineup should play such an effect.
Looking at the Knicks who were high-five in celebration on the opposite side, the Spurs players looked at each other, sure that the Knicks were opening the right way in this game?
"Boys, I have to say we miscalculated" Popovich admitted his mistake "Forget everything you saw in the footage the other day, and now start treating the Knicks as if they were the highest level opponents!" ”
If you want to eat apples, you have to have a good pair of teeth now, and this big apple is not easy to gnaw.
