Chapter 428: The Charm of Breakthrough (Thanks to the Reward from the Demon Brother)
Randolph's inaction made D'Antoni hold a mouthful of old blood in his chest and almost suffocate internal injuries, but he understood what kind of virtue this guy was, and scolded in his heart: "Don't look at your fun today, tomorrow Lao Tzu will pull you to the list!" ”
He didn't bother to talk to Randolph, so he roared at Richardson: "Substitution defense, you and Nate swap out!" ”
Nate Robertson looked at D'Antoni in a daze, and Richardson was also secretly scolding in his heart: "I just said that I defended so that I could defend against AI, and now I let Nate, this little melon egg, defend him, how can you be happy?" ”
However, Richardson still firmly implemented D'Antoni's arrangement, not because the latter is the coach and he respects the majesty of the coach, in fact, for this group of unruly thorns, the coach is a fart, and he has the ability to buy us out, anyway, he doesn't have to play with money, isn't it cooler? The reason why he is so obedient is because defending Iverson is a chore, and it is just right to give it to Robertson.
Robertson is also very happy, because this little guy only entered the league in 2004 and has always wanted to prove his strength, and it is not good to have a chance to fight Iverson?
So, everyone was happy, and the two changed guards.
Richardson almost cried when he switched defenses, Randolph was not active in defense, but the offense was strangely positive, and Robertson just held the ball outside the three-point line and asked for the ball to single Harrington. Harrington's strength is not good, Randolph's ass is big, he dragged his ass and hit Harrington, and then turned around and made a beautiful shot: The opponent is so weak, wouldn't he have to cut 40+ today? Oh, in that case, I can't say that I am going to go to the peak of my life today, and I can win Bai Fumei by signing a big contract.
Chamberlain showed no mercy, a slap woke up his sweet dream, Iverson grabbed the ball and quickly attacked the frontcourt, he wanted to do it alone, Robertson ran quickly and caught up with him, if he was in the 76ers, Iverson didn't care who was following him, he would definitely come by himself with this kind of ball. But now it's different, he's a lot more mature, and he's away from home, he's thinking a lot, and when he sees Curry on the side, he passes the ball.
Curry got the ball and Richardson smiled and forced it up, just a rookie, don't you rub it as much as you want?
Curry glanced at Richardson faintly, and then rose from outside the three-point line, ****! Three-point hit!
Richardson's face was expressionless, he was too embarrassed to look at D'Antony, he knew that the latter must have even had the heart to kill him now.
D'Antoni didn't understand what he had done to coach such a group of demons in New York, these guys were more stupid than the other, he was really speechless. Richardson guessed wrong, D'Antoni didn't want to kill him, but wanted to wipe out the entire Knicks!
Fortunately, he didn't do this, and then Crawford had a convulsion, facing Curry's defense, Crawford quickly came to the crotch dribble, his body swayed rapidly, Curry was worried that he would break through and took a step back, but Crawford came to a Maddie-style dry pull, jumped up in a chic and then shook his wrist softly, and sent the ball directly into the hoop.
Three-point hit, Crawford smiled slightly, and after landing on the ground, he ran to the backcourt like the wind, and then stretched out his fingers to make a 'No. 1' pose, nodding his head to make a salute, no doubt he meant to pay tribute to Maddie, who will carry forward the three-point shot.
It just so happened that the whole Rockets were watching the game in the training hall, and when they saw this scene, several people sighed in a low voice, and Maddie played with his phone expressionlessly, ignoring the scene on the screen. It was only through his slightly shaking hands that his old partner Yao Ming could still see the fluctuations in his heart.
Crawford's nervous knife type player is terrible once he has convulsions, the last time he played the Grizzlies and the Thunder, those two young players were convulsed, and as a result, one game was defeated and the other was directly lost, even the Lakers, the league leader this season, couldn't stand this kind of offense.
Crawford hit all four shots in the opening game, even if he was replaced by Jackson's defense, he was useless - three-point pull-up, breakaway throw, pull-up jumper, Crawford scored nine points in a row, plus a three-pointer from Robertson, and the two helped the Knicks lead 12-9.
After that, the two sides went back and forth, and the score was deadlocked, as David Lee missed a layup and Chamberlain grabbed the rebound, he passed to Iverson, who dribbled the ball through the half, he looked up at the score, 16-14, the half was over, and the team was still two points behind.
Seeing this, Iverson licked his lips, then turned to Curry and said, "Man, I'm here for this ball myself, I'll tie the score first, how about it?" ”
Curry was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly nodded and said, "You're the outside boss, Aaron, you say." ”
Hearing this, Iverson smiled slightly, and then when he faced Robertson, his temperament changed suddenly, no longer the kind big brother, but a burning flame, his eyes burst with a fire-like light, seeing this, Robertson was very vigilant, and hurriedly took a step back to prevent Iverson from breaking through.
Iverson didn't even make a feint, he directly changed his posture, almost no one could see clearly, Iverson's legs took two steps in a row at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and his thin but sturdy body suddenly changed direction and burst to Robinson's left side.
"It's fucking fast!" Chamberlain, who was inside, couldn't help but scream in his heart, he knew that this time there was nothing wrong with him, so he left the penalty area to make room for Iverson.
Robinson's reaction was not unpleasant, he missed both feet, and then quickly stepped out of the flank with his left foot, and finally blocked Iverson's momentum with the help of a step back. The two bodies were about to collide together, Iverson turned around abruptly, then pulled his shoulders outward, and then continued to speed up, stepping parallel to Robinson in one step, and then stepping past Robinson, who turned his head in panic, and it was too late to defend again, Iverson had already rushed into the penalty area.
The rest is much simpler, jump, layup, score, that's it.
Crawford also wanted to break through to the basket, Chamberlain had been setting a trap in front of him, and now the trap was working, the moment Crawford jumped up, he pulled back and forth from the wing to the wing, and slapped the ball back from front to back.
Curry grabbed the ball, but Richardson stuck him, and Robertson was also very cunning to entangle Iverson, so that the fast attack could not be achieved, and when it came to the frontcourt, Curry handed the ball to Iverson again, and with the latter on the floor, his task was much simpler.
Iverson got the ball again, Robertson gritted his teeth and opened his arms and half-squatted in front of him, then spit out a few words from between his teeth, and roared: "Swear to God, AI, your breakthrough this time...... it, come back! ”
Before he could finish his words, Iverson slammed the ball quickly over his shoulders and leaned towards his right.
Robertson moved sideways, but he couldn't move at all, he looked up in surprise, and saw Chamberlain appear next to him at some point to block his way, no wonder Iverson broke through from here, this is a block!
After blocking and dismantling, Iverson threw off Robertson and burst into the penalty area, seeing this, David Li hurriedly came up to make up for the defense, and Randolph didn't dare to play tricks anymore, so he wrapped Iverson from the flank, and the two wanted to lock him.
Facing a way without gaps, Iverson had no fear on his face, he smiled coldly and suddenly pulled his shoulders to pause, and then before the two people in front of him came up, he suddenly turned around and jumped up directly, David Li and Randolph jumped up, and the four black and white intersecting arms were raised high, blocking every road to the hoop.
Seeing this scene, a hint of mockery flashed in Iverson's eyes, and he raised his hand without hesitation, throwing the ball towards the hoop with a flick of his wrist, even if his vision was blocked, he still stubbornly threw the ball out of the hoop.
"What a XJBD!" Countless fans sighed, Iverson is really stubborn, and at this time, he still doesn't change his mind to play proflamation.
The ball flew up and then fell, and it was still a dozen centimeters away from the hoop, and it was impossible to hit. But just as it was about to go below the hoop, a pair of big golden hands appeared in time, and Chamberlain rose to the ground to catch the ball from Iverson steadily, and with a muffled sound, he turned his arms and smashed the ball into the hoop.
Relay in the air!
"Well done!" Old Nelson's face was full of excitement, he stood up and waved his fist hard, this is a wonderful attack, a block and a demolition, a pass and a catch, the two guys who cooperated for the first time actually played such a clever cooperation, how could this not make him excited?
Iverson was even more excited, because the appearance of Chamberlain made him understand that he had found the kind of coveted interior player - able to keep up with his speed, smart enough to have a smart enough mind, and the defense was still fierce enough to make up for his holes, this is a combination of Rain Man Sean Camp and Mutombo, such a center plus him, is born for championships!
At 18-16, the Warriors took the lead, but then Crawford tricked Jackson with a jump from beyond the three-point line, and then he slyly got into the latter's arms and made a three-point foul, hitting all three free throws to put the Knicks ahead again.
It's nothing, Iverson ran past half court and accelerated to the basket, Curry handed the ball to him with a ground-hitting pass, Iverson got the ball and quickly changed direction, David Lee and Robertson immediately became highly nervous.
Iverson dribbled a step forward, then slipped the bottom line and ran across the penalty area, turned around and passed the ball to Chamberlain, at this time David Lee was following him, Chamberlain was next to Robertson, Chamberlain jumped up and played a layup to send the ball into the hoop, Robertson did not admit defeat and jumped up to block him, but not only did not block it, but played a foul.
The scores of the two pairs alternated repeatedly, and the Knicks felt good, but the end of the first quarter ended with Robinson's whistle layup missed, and the Knicks ended the first quarter with a one-point deficit at 27-28, and Crawford had 13 points and two assists like a convulsion.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the old Nelson sent a lineup of double offensive guards, West and Iverson played at the same time, seeing this scene, I don't know how many head coaches were envious: Two offensive machines, how can the fuck defend the outside line like this?
Iverson and West talked and laughed, the two had fought each other before, Iverson had a stronger offense, West was better comprehensive, and his offense and defense were more comprehensive, which Iverson couldn't match.
"Help me defend." Iverson smiled at West.
West shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "It's very happy, but you don't just focus on attacking yourself, remember to pass the ball to me to make me feel refreshed!" ”
Iverson slapped him on the ass and said boldly: "It's simple, just wait for me to give you the ball, you can score as much as you want!" ”
Robertson and Richardson on the other side looked unhappy: This is too arrogant, right? What did you take them for? ATM? Your grandmother is a bear, and the two of them swore in their hearts that they must teach two lawless guys a lesson, and they must let them know why the flowers in New York are so red.
The second quarter is generally a bench depth contest between the two sides of the game, and Nelson Sr. asked West to play the sixth man for that purpose.
Chamberlain didn't play directly, sitting in the office holding a cup of Gatorade and drinking happily, he was very relaxed in the recent game, so that the physical strength can be reserved for a more suitable opportunity to play in the future, last season he suffered from physical exhaustion, the last ten games of the season are painful, and the playoffs are worse than death!
The Knicks relied on Crawford's convulsive touch and Randolph's brave offense, the latter began to exert power in the restricted area in the second quarter, and the immature Ibaka struggled to deal with this offensive giant, and Evans stepped up without hesitation.
Richardson and Crawford put cold arrows on the outside, the Knicks' offense looked imposing but was disorganized, and the Warriors were different, West and Iverson looked at each other, and then the two put a malicious smile on their faces together.
Our SHOW-TIME, it's on!
