super small forward

Chapter 216
Stoudemire was able to beat Garnett, Duncan, and Nowitzki to be selected to the first team of the best team in the 05-06 season, not only because of his physical fitness.

His one-handed face-up singles are the real means of scoring. Except for O'Neill, others can score more than 20 points in a game by dunking. Howard scored [-] points per game in the three-second zone in those years. The points are used to compare with Olajuwon and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whose inside score is better, and Stoudemire's inside explosive power is more of a deterrent.

With a good ability to break through with the ball, he didn't dare to stick to him in the middle distance on the inside. He was afraid of breaking through with his back. What really killed his opponent was his good mid-range and short-range shooting.

Two years ago, Stoudemire was still a super power forward averaging 25 points per game, but the injury not only ruined his knee, but also ruined his confidence.

But today he held the anger of washing away the humiliation that the Lakers brought them last time, put aside all injuries and so on, and said that he would kill the Lakers first.

Gasol, who was bullied miserably in the Western Conference Finals in 2010, was bullied again today!
Who is the most serious "noble disease" of the Lakers?
It is none other than Gasol, a romantic man from Spain. When he defended Stoudemire, who came off the bench, he looked like you love to shoot or not. He lazily watched the former bully in the middle distance Three consecutive mid-range shots were made.

When Gasol came back to his senses and put up the defense, Stoudemire had already shot away. The furious little bully didn't care about his knee problem at all, and all kinds of skillful footsteps made Gasol playful enough, and even rushed to the inside. Dodged Whiteside's defense and pulled up a dunk.

After playing Gasol with confidence, Stoudemire played against Antetokounmpo who came off the bench, as if he had returned to his peak state overnight. After Anthony scored 21 points in the first quarter, he Scored 19 points in a single quarter.

On the offensive end, Anthony and Stoudemire led the team to blast one after another. On the defensive end, the Knicks finally recovered the defense of last season today. Coach Mike Woodson learned the defensive system from Larry Brown. After getting the knack of defending Kobe from Zen Master, he caught the defect that D'Antoni was not good at creating scoring opportunities for super scorers, and isolated Kobe to play singles.

Although Kobe calmed down and played a wave of 7-of-1 after 7-for-5, he alone could not compete with the Knicks, who were all mad.

The more difficult Lakers side was playing until the end of the halftime, pointing at Kobe alone, and seeing the score of 39 to 61 at the end of the halftime, it was not good to wake up!
In the Lakers locker room, D'Antoni called everyone together. Looking at this group of players with their heads down, D'Antoni thought to himself: You must be careless. I told you that the other party is not easy to deal with and you don't listen.

"Our offense sucks! We must play a good offense in the second half! Kobe, rest first, and then play in the fourth quarter." D'Antoni has long noticed that something is wrong. The opponent's offense is driven by two stars, which is different from their previous The same style of play, but the defense is definitely not what Mike Woodson's big bald head came up with!

D'Antoni is very familiar with Mike Woodson, both of whom have served as assistant coaches in the US national team. He knows that this big bald man can only play a rigid defense, just like Larry Brown, but this time he suddenly changed into such an aggressive defense. , obviously by someone's instructions.

However, D'Antoni really can't think of a way to solve the opponent's defense for a while. He is the kind of coach who relies entirely on the support of the system. Can figure out a way to break the opponent in the second game, but now let him think that it is difficult for him, he has never been good at commanding on the spot.

With the mentality of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, D'Antoni asked Kobe, who is most familiar with the Zen master: "Kobe, I think the defense on the opposite side must be the Zen master playing tricks behind. Do you have any solution?"

"I think...the other party must be coming for me. Substituting me is probably the best solution! Substituting me and using Giannis to control the ball, use Liu's best running position to contain the opponent..." Kobe Giving an unexpected answer, without waiting for D'Antoni to be surprised, he continued: "It would be great if Drummond could play today, he has already got permission to play, hasn't he?"

Kobe's ability to say such words was obviously beyond D'Antoni's expectations. D'Antoni has never been good at communicating with the players under his hands. He didn't know that Kobe had become less paranoid because of Liu Ren, a possible successor. Now Kobe wants to see more Until Liu Ren can take on more responsibilities and provoke the Lakers before he retires.

But now D'Antoni is worried that if Kobe is replaced by the Lakers, will anyone still be able to score in the mid-range where the opponent's defense is weakest?Kobe played a full 20 minutes in the first half, scored 19 points on 9 of 27 shots in the half, and scored two-thirds of the team's points alone!D'Antoni saw that only Kobe could score steadily, and used him to death like he did last season.

Green, who was wearing a suit behind the bench, started to move when he heard Kobe's words, but he was helpless. D'Antoni was a little too cautious and planned to let him come back in the game on April 4. The rest of this month. The team went out, but did not play.

"Replace Kobe? Will anyone still be able to score?" This game is the first time D'Antoni has encountered such a troublesome situation this season. He couldn't beat the Spurs before because he thought he couldn't. Worried, but what he thinks is that as long as the players are serious, they will definitely be able to play, but now he can't do anything about the Knicks' defense, so he is back to last season with a good hand and doesn't know what to do. The way to kill Kobe.

Liu Ren looked at D'Antoni and felt that this coach is actually quite pitiful. From the most trendy coach in the league ten years ago to a coach that has begun to be outdated now, this kind of change must not be easy to accept for a while.

If D'Antoni was one of the pioneers of the small ball era ten years ago, D'Antoni, who still maintains the same thinking ten years ago, is no longer suitable for this era. Today's small ball must not only attack, but also defend equally.

Liu Ren stood up, showed a confident smile, and gave his teammates a shot in the arm: "Don't worry, coach, we will definitely win! You have to trust us, that Melo guy surprised me in the first quarter, and then It's time for our show, this is our place!"
