I really play basketball

Chapter 208 Choking Defense
Rodman made two consecutive mid-range shots, and Van Gundy has realized that the original defensive strategy is no longer working, and he has to adjust.

On the court, another wave of offense from the Knicks.

Derek Harper, who was in control of the ball, was still the same as the previous two rounds, like a headless chicken, unable to find his way at all.

Under the Warriors' pseudo zone defense, it was difficult for the Knicks to pass the ball inside.

The gorilla couldn't catch the ball and was a little anxious.

But Mourning stuck him tightly, and it was useless for him to worry.

When Derek Harper wasted seven or eight seconds on the outside, it seemed that he couldn't get inside.

He turned his head and immediately scanned the other teammates. He saw Starks who had ended the attack with a volley in the previous round, and shook his head secretly.

He saw Charles Oakley again. The old oak now only has the role of rebounding and hand-to-hand combat with opponents. Offense?
Finally, he saw Anthony Mason.

Just like the old Nelson analyzed before the game, Anthony Mason was reused, not because of how strong he was.

It's that this Knicks team is no longer available...

On the court, Anthony Mason received the ball with 13 seconds left on the shot clock.

He chose to lean against Byron Russell, and began to thrust his fat ass.

The power gap between the two was too great, Russell would definitely not be able to stand up to Mason.

But he was not particularly flustered, but methodically followed the law of Mason's thrust and kept retreating.

Retreating in this way ensures to the greatest extent that Russell's own center of gravity is stable and the defense does not lose its position.

Although Mason is getting closer and closer to the basket, Rodman and Mourning's help defense and frame protection are not vegetarians when they really get to the basket.

Mason also understands this. The basket is a restricted area. If he goes there, he will die.

His opportunity is in the middle distance, just in the next step.

In the next step, he pushed Russell away with a big butt squat, and turned around to make a shot.

At this moment, a strong and slender figure appeared beside Mason.

The big hand directly sealed Mason's face, forcing Mason to change from the original dry pull to a fadeaway jumper.

Reluctantly shot a fadeaway jumper, and there was a bang!
Yang Wu, director Zhang shouted excitedly: "Dalin, or Dalin, this defense is too critical!"

That's right, who else could that strong and slender figure be if not Lin Xing?

In the United States, although it is no longer surprising, Matt Gudica still sighed with emotion:
"It's STA's defense again. This season, STA's role in the Warriors' defensive system seems to be the core of assisted defense..."

"He is no longer a combination of offense and defense, he is going to take over the rhythm of MVP and Dpoy!"

Lin Xing's key first defense once again made the Knicks' offense come back in vain.

Rodman took another rebound. When he gave the ball to Lin Xing, he said: "Continue to give me the ball later."

Lin Xing shook his head, not because he didn't give it, but because - the Knicks' defense cannot remain unchanged. As long as it changes, Rodman will have no chance.

Unless, Rodman can go in against the defense.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Lin Xing does not believe it anyway.

He controlled the ball to the frontcourt, only to find that it was Starks who was defending him head-on.

Starks had a bitter look on his face, and Lin Xing gave him a "yo ha".

This guy didn't change his face, he still had a bitter look on his face.

Starks was thinking hard, he really didn't want to guard Lin Xing.

If it's the past two seasons, Starks can still reject the head coach on the grounds that he needs to focus on offense.

Now, if Starks mentions focusing on offense again, it's a proper joke.

Now that the opponent has been replaced by Starks, Lin Xing has to change his style of play.

Speed ​​is no longer dominant, but power has the upper hand again.

Lin Xing crossed his arms, separated Starks, and made a direct and unreasonable collision.

Starks staggered out of position, and then Anthony Mason came up to help.

What the Knicks missed this time was Byron Russell standing in the corner.

Russell's position is thousands of miles away from Lin Xing, far on the weak side.

Lin Xing jumped and threw it away without finding the target.

"Dalin passed Starks, but Mason came up again, flanking back and forth, Dalin... made a direct shot?!"

Although there is no word "unreasonable" in this commentary directed by Zhang, the word "unreasonable" is everywhere.

With a bang, Lin Xing's unreasonable shot was indeed a very reasonable strike.

On the court, Lin Xing didn't care much.

For a strong shot, it's normal to hit the iron. If you don't hit the iron and hit the net hollow, that's a strange thing.

Under the basket, Ewing protected the rebound.

The offense and defense switched, and the Knicks began to counterattack.

But in the frontcourt, Derek Harper lost his way again.

This time, he was so guarded by Lin Xing that he didn't even know where the basket was. He wanted to pass the ball to Ewing, but Lin Xing cut the ball quickly and completed the steal.

"Break it, break it, break it!"

Amidst the excited voices of the director of Yang Wuzhang, Lin Xing, who had completed the steal, rushed to the frontcourt single-handedly.

The Knicks' retreat was not fast. Lin Xing got rid of all his opponents after halfway through the charge.

In the front court, he jumped up in the penalty area and hit the basket with a heavy dunk.

When there was a loud bang, Madison let out a "boom" and exclaimed.

When Lin Xing landed on the ground, he pretended to take a few overlord steps, and Madison couldn't bear it anymore.

"Fack Star! Fuck Star! Fuck Star!"

"..."

Falk Star's voice sounded neatly, and it lasted for a long time.

On the court, Lin Xing didn't care.

All he knew was that with a heavy counter-dunk, he got back the strong shot that he missed directly.

3 of 1, one goal short of 2% shooting, Lin Xing also scored the first [-] points of the game.

After that, the Knicks made a comeback.

Derek Harper simply stopped taking the ball and came up to Anthony Mason.

Mason played singles, and Russell at the top was struggling.

But it was the final touch, which was almost meaningless.

In this wave of offense and defense, Lin Xing didn't even help defend.

Because he saw that Mason didn't dare to continue to rush in, so he could only shoot in the middle distance.

Russell didn't lose his position again, and gave a solid interference.

Clang!
There was a heavy iron strike, and Madison made another bang and exclaimed.

This exclamation was not surprised by Mason's iron strike.

Rather, the game has been played for so long, and the Knicks still haven't scored a point.

Of course, the Warriors didn't score many points. Rodman scored 4 points, Lin Xing scored 2 points, and the score was 6-0. It looked good.

But the problem is that the scene looks much more difficult than the score.

Compared with the Warriors who can rely on Lin Xing to blast at a single point, the Knicks are really lacking in scoring.

Jeff Van Gundy thought of last season's playoffs. As a spectator, he saw the Warriors vs. Rockets series.

At that time, the Warriors relied on one-handed defense against the center to catch the ball and pushed the big dream to a high position.

At that time, Fan Guangtou still felt that he could learn from the Warriors and use it to deal with the Rockets in the new season.

The result was good, he faced the Warriors before he could wait for the Rockets.

Originally prepared to deal with the rocket's move, I experienced it first.

And after the experience, he still felt that it was very tricky.

The technical characteristics of Dameng determine that he can also play a role when he mentions high positions.

Ewing was almost taken aback. If he really reached a high position, there is a high probability that Ewing will be crippled.

On the sidelines, Baldy Fan stared at the starting five players on the court, and then swept around the sidelines.

Scratching his head, he really couldn't think of any solution.

On the court, Rodman grabbed the rebound, another offensive round for the Warriors.

Still Lin Xing, with a single-point blast, passed Starks with one elbow.

Mason came up to defend, but Lin Xing suddenly accelerated, took another step, and passed Mason.

"After two people in a row, Dalin went in directly."

Mason couldn't stop Lin Xing, and turned around to chase after him, but he couldn't catch up.

But Starks, who was passed by Lin Xing first, followed Lin Xing closely, chasing after him.

The two reached the basket one after the other, and Ewing stepped forward.

Lin Xing jumped up without hesitation, raised his legs high, and hit Ewing for a layup.

With a bang, the basketball hit the backboard and fell into the net frame after rebounding.

"The ball is scored, and Dalin is Dalin. He can get the ball into the basket even if he is defended by many people. It's too strong!"

On the court, Lin Xing and Ewing bumped into each other. After landing, he immediately pushed Ewing aside.

Panting and turning around, Lin Xing raised his right hand.

For this ball, it is not very critical to the Warriors.

But it is very important for Lin Xing. This one-on-three layup directly made Lin Xing hit 4 of 2 shots, 4% of the shots, and scored [-] points.

In terms of ensuring the lower limit of the hit rate, Lin Xing is really a bit of a GOAT.

No, to be precise, he is now the senior of Deputy GOAT.

Madison was noisy, the scoreboard jumped again, and it was 8-0.

Baldy Fan scratched his shiny bald head, but still called a timeout.

But he knew that pausing was of no use.

It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. He is a rookie head coach. He has already played the cards in the Knicks' hands. He has used blue-collar Mason as a star forward.

In this game, against the Warriors' steel defense, the Knicks really have nothing to do.

Soon, the pause was over.

The game restarted, and the Knicks' change was to add some pick-and-roll offensive routines.

Just like this attack after a timeout, Anthony Mason pulled straight out and played a pick-and-roll with Derek Harper.

As a result, the Warriors' defense made Baldy Fan desperate again.

"The Knicks pick and roll, the Warriors switch directly, Derek Harper faces Byron Russell, still not dominant..."

To put it bluntly, the Warriors are not afraid of pick-and-rolls. There is Rodman, the fourth position who can switch defenses infinitely, and Lin Xing, the pervert who can go from one hit to five.

The Warriors' pick-and-roll defense is just four words-simple and rude!
One infinite defense change solves everything.

In this wave of offense, Derek Harper faced Byron Russell and made another mid-range shot.

Bang!

"Still didn't score, the Knicks still didn't score, the first quarter of the game is almost halfway through..."

"The Warriors' current defense is really strong!"

Yang Wu, Shuangping only knows how to blow.

In the United States, Matt Gudica and Marv Albert have been intimidated.

"In the first half of the game, the Knicks were defended without scoring a point. Is the Warriors' defense so terrible?"

Matt Gutica is full of doubts, but the truth is there.

On the court, the Knicks played harder and harder.

Ewing was also forced to step up and give the small pick-and-roll on the perimeter.

But still the same sentence, the pick-and-roll is useless for the Warriors, and the Knicks' offense is still difficult.

Scoring a point is as difficult as reaching the sky.

The Knicks scored their first point of the game halfway through the first quarter.

The scorer was John Starks, a guy with a bald head who looked more and more unpleasant. This guy scored a three-pointer from the outside and scored.

From this point of view, the Warriors' defense is no problem.

Fan Bald on the sidelines scratched his head, let alone, the Knicks can only rely on this kind of fairy ball if they want to score in this game.

In fact, the Knicks' defense is not bad.

The Warriors can score under the Knicks' defense, so why not score some magic balls?
Just like the goal that Lin Xing scored in [-]v[-], isn't it a fairy ball?

The problem is that the Warriors have players who can play fairy ball, but the Knicks don't.

Therefore, the Knicks can only be beaten passively.

The first quarter of the game was over quickly. Off the field, Guang Guang looked up at the scoreboard.

In this quarter, the Knicks scored 12 points in 11 minutes of the game.

"awful……"

Next, in the second quarter, the Warriors continued to maintain a high-pressure defense against the Knicks.

Even if the player is changed, the new Charlie Ward and the backup center Greg Ostertag also ensured a defense above the standard.

Especially Charlie Ward, Fan Guangtou very much thought of that year's draft.

"This little point guard's defense is also very good. I remember that when he was drafted, Pat fell in love with him, but he was cut off by the Warriors..."

Fan Guangtou shook his head, he probably understood where the current predicament of the Knicks came from.

They are all low-ranked draft picks, and the Warriors can find high-quality young people like Charlie Ward and Greg Ostertag.

The Knicks are a bunch of useless players, the gap just appeared.

Of course, the bigger gap must be the star players on both sides.

Both teams are now playing defensively. In a defensive battle, the decisive factor is who can attack.

Ewing has been locked into a blue-collar center forward, but Lin Xing is still playing steadily and steadily.

In the second quarter, the Knicks moved forward with difficulty, but still only scored 16 points.

With 27 points in the half, Baldy Fan scratched his head: "It's too miserable!"

He didn't expect that the worst was yet to come.

Because halftime was over, the Warriors scored 45 points.

The 18-point advantage was not enough for the Warriors to seal the victory, so in the third quarter, after the main force was exhausted, the Warriors once again prevented the Knicks from scoring a point in half a quarter.

Although they fired in the second half, they scored a total of 9 points.

"9 points in a single quarter, it's horrible..."

With 9 points in a single quarter and 36 points in three quarters, the Knicks were defended not only horrible.

More importantly, Madison was booed.

Such a tragic performance of the Knicks made New York fans dissatisfied.

Fans think: The team is feeding them.

In the three quarters, the Warriors didn't score much, only 66 points.

But 66 to 36, 30 points difference, the suspense of the game has come to an end.

"I didn't expect that the warriors who switched to defense could be so defensive..."

"Suffocation!"
