Chapter 121 The Difficult Little Man
"Boys, you did a great job! I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good work and show the momentum of the last game. Eddie, you have to strengthen your offense. Of course, take a break at the beginning of the second quarter. Egghead attention Divide the ball, pay attention to defense, pay attention to that short guy, you go up at the beginning of the second quarter, have you had enough rest?" Thomas is still very good at boosting morale.

"Well! I'm fine!" Hu Lin came down at the end of the first quarter and rested for 2 more minutes. Of course, his physical strength book is also very good, so naturally there is no problem.

"Very good! Come on Jamal at the beginning, let's play fast and hit the opponent..." Thomas' intention was obvious, to let Marbury take a break first.

The boss of the team also understands what Thomas means, but the current situation is still a normal rotation, so he has no reason to attack.

After a short break, the second quarter began.

Jerome. James and Frye formed the inside, Balkman came off the bench, and Crawford and Hulin formed the outside.In this lineup, only Crawford and Hu Lin are the only ones with real offensive power. Frye's performance in the first few games of this year has a big drop compared to last year, but he is still better than the other two.

Not to mention Jerome, he can still contribute defensively, but really offensively, you'd better not give him the ball.Balkman has no desire to attack at all. As soon as this guy joins the team, he looks weird. In normal training, he rarely shoots. He just likes to defend there!Later, everyone also saw that this guy's desire to shoot is extremely low. Let's put it this way, it is even worse than Rodman in the later stages of his career.

So, with this lineup, Hu Lin is going to play fast!
The regular season is just the beginning, and many teams seem to have just woken up. Therefore, the coach will not arrange the tactics so deadly, especially the coach who has just taken over the team.

The Nuggets attacked first, and they also had a substitute lineup. Because of Kenyon Martin's serious injury, Nene could only keep playing.On the outside, Boykins and JR. Smith partnered. It can be said that the current lineup of the Nuggets can only be arranged in this way.

The opponent attacks first, and the Knicks defend first.

It may be a coincidence that the Nuggets also want to play fast. JR. Smith went it alone first, scoring a three-pointer against Crawford's defense.

22 to 30, the Knicks fell behind by 8 points.

"Hurry up!" Hu Lin actively went back to ask for the ball, and of course Balkman was very generous.

Crush it!

The Nuggets' defense is not like the Spurs', their retreat is relatively slow.In fact, from the perspective of the entire league, there are not many teams that can defend as well as the Spurs. Popovich is definitely an abnormal request in this regard.

Nene is still on the road, the fastest is Boykins and JR who made a three-pointer.When Hu Lin quickly advanced through the middle circle, Boykins came over.

Small players have a natural disadvantage in defense, and there is no way around that.You can only train your footwork to be excellent through continuous hard work, otherwise, you will not be able to survive in the NBA at all.

Boykins is a very hard-working player, otherwise he would never appear in the NBA.He has great feet, but he is really short, his legs are too short, so he needs a higher stride frequency to make up for his shortcomings.

The advantage is so obvious that everyone knows how to use it, but if you push it too far, the end will be very tragic.Hu Lin suffered a loss in the first quarter, so he did not take it lightly this time.

"Bang!" Dribbling the ball under his crotch, Hu Lin seemed to be about to change direction!
"Squeak!" Boykins' footsteps are very flexible, no matter whether the opponent changes direction or not, he will respond.

"Bang!" After dribbling the ball under the crotch, he dribbled directly behind his back, and the basketball returned from his left hand to his right hand!

Breakthrough directly!

"Squeak! Squeak!" Boykins immediately took another two steps, unable to help.

This is enough, for such a physically dominant situation, as long as you can pull out about 1/4 of your body position.It doesn't look like Boykins is out of position, but Hulin has seen a wide avenue leading to the basket.

JR. Smith!
This guy may be a 'nervous knife', but his basketball awareness is still very reliable, and his physical fitness is also very good. Seeing that Boykins was going to be exploded, he immediately came over to double-team Hu Lin.

"Whoosh!"

Those who can enter the NBA will not be too poor in consciousness. Crawford is already in a completely unguarded state, and Hu Lin has already observed it.

"Shh!"

Three point hit.

25 to 30, the two teams played very fast, the two offenses ended, and only 17 seconds passed in the second quarter.

"Good shot! Just hit it like this! Clap clap!..." Thomas shouted loudly from the sidelines, and at the same time he was still applauding vigorously!
Coach Tuo also understands in his heart that the current lineup on the field really doesn't have many offenses. Therefore, Hu Lin's choice is correct. Encouraging players is a must at this time.

Immediately retreat, of course, it is much more convenient to retreat at this time, Jerome James has not even passed the middle circle.

It's still fast, the two teams seem to be on the same page, you are fast and I am fast, let's see who can't hold on in the end.

Boykins and JR exchanged hands twice, and then directly handed it over to Nene on the inside, because the Nuggets had a small screen on the inside before, and the latter slammed Jerome, who was defending him, and directly shot.

"Bang!" It's just that the ball didn't go in.

The inside competition was very fierce, and Najera and Frye were very fierce in fighting for positions. However, Frye was still slightly inferior physically, but he had the advantages of height and wingspan after all!
"Crack!" Frye hit the ball.

"Hey!" Hu Lin, who was protecting at the free throw line, took the ball.

Fast attack!

But it's not that easy!

Although Boykins is no match for Hu Lin in terms of height, he can play the three-lane, and this guy's three-lane skill is definitely the top in the NBA.Therefore, when Hu Lin went to grab the rebound, Boykins was ready below, and as soon as Lao Hu hit the ground, he immediately reached out to poke the ball.

At this time, it is the time when athletes have the weakest protection for basketball, and Lao Hu is no exception.

"Crack!" The basketball flew out again!
"Fuck!" Lao Hu exploded directly, this is already his second mistake in this field, and it's all because of this little guy!
Ok!

Balkman was nearby, and he came directly to grab the ball on the ground.

This guy's defensive and steal awareness is really good, and he reacts quickly. Like the Nuggets' backup small forward next to him, Diawara doesn't have this reaction.

After catching the ball, Balkman threw it directly to the floor, and Hu Lin had already rushed over and got the ball.

This time, no one really came to make trouble. Boykins' short legs couldn't keep up with Lao Hu, and the others were a little hesitant because of the steal just now, so Lao Hu really had a smooth road ahead. !
step!Two steps!

Entering the paint area, Hu Lin counted his steps and flew up!

The right hand buckled down hard, grabbed the basketball tightly, and then swung the arms in the opposite direction, from right to left.

"Kuang Ang!"

Hu Lin made a replica of Julius Owen's reverse windmill.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh back again..." backhhhh, the audience did not buy it."

"Wow haha!..." There was still a white towel flying on the Knicks' bench.

"Beautiful job!" Hu Lin was praising Balkman.

"Thank you! The buckle is beautiful!" Balkman also gave Hu Lin a high-five.

"You're a nice guy, you look a lot like Sakuragi!"

"Oh?! Who is that?" Balkman was at a loss. Obviously, as a Puerto Rican, he was still quite unfamiliar with the cartoons of a certain island country.

"Hehe, when I get back, I'll tell you when I have the time."

Although Balkman's salary is more than twice that of Hu Lin's, but now Hu Lin regards himself as a big brother, and this guy is not too shy, but judging from the thickness of someone's skin, this Seems normal.

Who didn't come from a rookie!

However, soon, Hu Lin no longer had the leisure to train his juniors, and the Nuggets attacked again.

through, through, through...

Boykins continued to use the body of his teammates, like a butterfly on the court, interspersed back and forth.These teammates and opponents were all used by him, as long as there was a little gap, he could pass through.

As for Hu Lin's follow-up defense, it would be a struggle to be successful. There is no way, he is not as small and exquisite as Boykins.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Not only interspersed, but also various passing coordination, Boykins is making full use of his physical 'advantage'!
"Shh!"

This time, Hu Lin finally failed to keep up. Boykins seized the opportunity and hit two points in the mid-range shot.

There is still a gap of 27 points between 32 and 5!
Facing the opponent who always played 'peek-a-boo' with him, Hu Lin was really helpless.

In the positional battle, the Knicks have no chance to break fast this time, and the Nuggets have done a good job of returning to defense.

Crawford took the initiative to ask for the ball. As the Knicks' best sixth man, in fact, in this kind of time, he usually took over the offense alone.

What should be given has to be given. This lineup really has to rely on Crawford. Hu Lin passed the ball without much hesitation.

Crawford, VS, JR. Smith!
"Bang bang bang..." He kept dribbling the ball under his crotch.

"Bang!" The basketball stayed on Crawford's right hand for a while, and his upper body was shaking slightly from left to right.

"Squeak!" Changed to extraordinary!
When Crawford made a fake move, JR. Smith chose to steal the ball in a gambling style, but unfortunately, he was still a little tender.

For three-point shots, Crawford is a guy with a high shooting percentage, and he is considered a very accurate outside line in the Knicks.

However, JR. Smith is not a person who gives up easily, and this guy's physical fitness is quite good. After being shaken away, he immediately chased back on the spot. When he saw Crawford stop the ball, he directly threw himself Up in the air!

"Wow!" Crawford exclaimed!
JR. Smith made a block with a dribble.

"Beep!" The referee was still asleep, and they gave Crawford three free throws.
