Chapter 248 The battle is over
Kuang Ang! 'Little Shark' Curry slammed the basketball into the hoop, and finally let out a bad breath!
"Ahaha! Good shot, Dantou, you passed it really well!" After landing, Curry gave Lao Hu a bear hug, which almost didn't make Lao Hu go into shock on the spot.

That's right, this is a pass. When Lao Hu used a simple crotch dribble, he passed through the middle of Nesterovic and Humphries.Lao Hu immediately collected the ball for a layup, because he couldn't do it if he didn't make it.It's just that, at this time, all the attention of the Raptors' inside line is on Lao Hu.

In other words, this guy, Hu, laid up in front of so many tall players. This thing seems to only appear in certain fairy tales.

So, he chose to divide the ball. After taking off, he put the ball down immediately, then swung his arms, and circled the basketball behind Humphries. With a flick of his wrist, Curry easily caught the basketball.

"It's wonderful! It's simply amazing! China Hu played a pass that only Nash or Kidd could play. His performance was so good that I couldn't believe my eyes. He is really Huang... ...He is simply a yellow-skinned magician." Smith was too excited to speak at this time, and he was about to say a yellow person, but he himself immediately realized that this was not very good, it was okay, and his reaction was very fast.

"I like his breakthrough even more. This is a delicate job in a very small space. Without precise control of the basketball, it is impossible to do it. In other words, I can see the figure of the Argentine from this ball. Manu Ginobili! Yes, it is also a snake-like breakthrough, very similar! Wonderful!" Barkley also thinks this ball is great, of course he explained it from another angle.

Smith seemed to think of something suddenly, and immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha... I know why you like this breakthrough."

"Why?" Barkley was puzzled.

"Haha... old man, it's not because of your big ass that you like this breakthrough so much, hahaha..." That's right, what Smith said was right, because it was impossible for Barkley to make such a move, he The butt volume is too big.

"Haha..." It doesn't matter, Barkley never minds this kind of joke.

After the Knicks scored this goal, the score was already 43 to 34, and the New Yorkers were almost leading by 10 points.

At this time, the fans at home were also a little silent, because it was really not easy for the Raptors to catch up with this posture.

Coach Sam was not idle, he immediately called a timeout, but he didn't know if the Raptors had any new changes now.

There is not much time left, only 3 minutes and 38 seconds. Judging from this, it seems difficult for the Raptors to regain the score in such a short time.

The game started again, and the Raptors really changed again.

Coach Sam went all out this time and directly sent TJ Ford to play double point guard with Calderon.Anyway, I can't defend against them anymore, so I might as well think of a way in the offense.

It can’t be said that Coach Sam’s idea is wrong, because the score gap is a bit big now, and time is running out, so it’s better to play offense well, and the Raptors scored too few points in this quarter. If it goes on, he can create the NBA's lowest scoring record in a single quarter, and this face will be a big shame.

Sure enough, it worked. After the Raptors had more outside attack points, it really made the Knicks' defense feel a little overwhelmed.

Calderon seized the opportunity, this time he pulled away from the far end and hit a three-pointer directly.

"Oh ho ho ho!..."

"Jose! ... Calderon!"

43 to 37, this three-pointer gave the Raptors fans the hope of catching up with the score. They even used the method of shouting the name of the star on the football field to call the Spanish.

However, it doesn't matter, the Knicks are still leading now, the opponent just scored a goal, just hit it back.

It is still a gesture of pulling away, and the Raptors are still in the posture of preparing to double-team.

However, Lao Hu did not come to the bottom corner as before, but started to move around 45 degrees.Of course, he didn't do it alone, but found Lao Li as a wall.

He went in again, this time he broke into the inside line, and the Raptors turned their backs again!
But this time Lao Hu didn't find a good opportunity. The elders of the Raptors cheered up and couldn't let this yellow-skinned dwarf play tricks on them anymore.

Whoosh, the basketball came to the outside. It seems that this is an impossible pass, because Nate on the outside has to face TJ Ford's defense, and he doesn't have any good chances.

It seems that the Raptors' defense succeeded this time. They didn't let the Knicks find any space. Nate Robinson could only hold the ball there, and his attack threat has been greatly reduced.

However, the change will come again soon!
pass the ball!Nate took two dribbles and immediately passed the basketball because he had seen Hu Lin appear in the corner, and he was unguarded at this time.

That's right, Lao Hu is indeed unguarded, because after entering the inside line before, the basket became very chaotic, and Lao Hu could only pass the ball.However, after passing the ball, he didn't sit idle. It's not good to stay where he is. This basket is a place of right and wrong, and if he fails, he will be blown for three seconds.

So, Lao Hu ran, but instead of returning to the outside line as usual, he went straight forward, continued to move forward, even went out of bounds, and finally made a circle to the bottom corner.

Lao Hu's running position is weird and very, so Calderon didn't follow him, because the outside line is also short of manpower, so when Lao Hu appeared in the bottom corner, no one cared about him.

It wasn't until he caught the ball that Nesterovic thought of making up for it.

Swish!Apparently, Nesterovic hadn't played a role.

46 to 37, the point difference came to 9 points again.

"Shhhhhhhh..." The fans are still the same old way, probably they are getting tired of hush.

"GO! Raptors!..."

The Raptors' offense was cheered by the fans. The three-pointer just now was very effective, at least it made the fans passionate again.

It's just that the passion didn't last long, and the fans fell silent again.

This time it was the same cooperation. However, when it came to Bosh, Bosh didn't continue to play the pick-and-roll with Humphries, but faced David Lee by himself and directly hit back.

Bosh already has a strong strength. He is no weaker than David Lee in terms of technology and athletic ability, so he thinks that he doesn't need any cooperation at all.It's just that the coach arranged it before, and the effect was good, but now the tactics can't be played out, so let's play by ourselves.

Of course, Lao Hu was unwilling to be lonely when he saw the back attack here. This guy is addicted to the defense team today, and it is not difficult to come to help anyway.

change!After Bosh leaned on his back twice, he immediately turned around and shot a jumper, because he saw Hu Lin's defense from the corner of his eye.

Bang!It seems that two-on-one is still very effective.

This time it was Frye who defended the rebound. After he came on the court, he and David Lee were very flexible in their positions. Since both of them can play power forwards, there is no scruple in changing positions.It was as if David Lee was the one guarding Bosh this time, and Frye was the one taking care of Humphries.

Frye's rebound was quickly turned into a fast break by Hulin.Hu and Nate moved quickly, passed the ball to each other twice, and finally made an easy layup against TJ Ford.

Although this goal seemed simple, it actually exposed a problem, that is, the Raptors' perimeter defense is not strong enough, at least physically poor.Calderon himself is a European player, and his defensive habit has always been to rely on the team.And TJ Ford's body is already very fragile. If there is no accident, this star who is known for his speed will soon go back to practice again. Then, he will start to fight against the disease of congenital spinal stenosis for two or three years. Then sadly retired.

Therefore, the Raptors are now completely caring about their heads and ignoring their backs. They are focused on offense and have no defense, and the entire lineup is also messed up. There is no way to organize effective offense and defense.

That's right, in the final period of the second quarter, the Raptors started to mess up.Their running positions were very chaotic, the ball couldn't find people, and people couldn't find the ball. In the end, there was no way but the stars played individually.

Bosh, Calderon, and Ford all played singles one after another. In the end, Nesterovic was really lonely. The veteran even played one by himself. The success rate can be imagined.In such a chaotic situation, the Raptors simply failed to achieve any results.

And the defense is also messed up. The Raptors originally wanted to double-team the inside, but their personal defensive ability on the outside is too poor. The Knicks don't need to play Curry at all. They just need to eat opponents on the outside.

Hu Lin, Nate, are all strong guys, even Frye can beat the opponent, because he is tall.

During the defense of the Raptors, the performance of Gu Tiao and his back was even more serious. When Bosh came out to take care of the outside line, Curry beat him to the basket. As soon as he returned, Lao Hu immediately distributed the ball to the outside.

The last 3 minutes were like a nightmare for the Raptors. They just wanted to end it as soon as possible, but the Knicks players kept chasing their asses and hitting them.

When the whistle blew for the end of the first half, the fans of the home team breathed a sigh of relief. 55 to 40, fortunately, the three-point time is really not long, otherwise, the next third and fourth quarters would not have to be played.

But in the face of such a team's performance and such a decline, it is useless to call a timeout.Coach Sam Mitchell didn't dare to look up at the scoreboard anymore. He buried his head deeply in his palms.

"The first half of the game is finally over. I think this is a relief for many people. At least the Raptors can take a breath and rearrange their tactics. Although the point difference is not small, there is still plenty of time. The Raptors The Dragons should fight back in the second half!" After watching the Raptors' miserable performance at the end of the second quarter, Smith was already looking forward to the future.

"It's a mess! It's a mess! It's a mess! When I see this Raptors team now, it's really hard to imagine that they are an NBA team. Even the current high school team is better than them. If you can't Quickly adjust, this game should be over! Sam! Come on! I'm watching you!" Barkley said that he was quite serious before, but then he turned into teasing again.

Now even without Barkley's words, Coach Sam has to make tactical adjustments.Judging from the current situation, the changes made by the Raptors were wrong. They did not restrain their opponents, and even stagnated their offense.Therefore, it must be changed again!

So, the Raptors are a tragedy!
Change is not a problem. Philosophically speaking, everything is in motion, that is to say, everything is changing.However, the Raptors have changed a lot this time, and this is the problem.

It is said that although NBA players have strong personal ability and strong tactical execution ability, they can't stand up to such changes, and they can't stand it on anyone.

Players are human beings, not data figures manipulated when playing games. They must have an adaptation stage for tactics and movement.And this one, it changed from the very beginning, and then changed again after playing a quarter, and then changed again when it failed in this quarter, this is simply playing with people!

When the third quarter started, the Raptors changed again!

Sam Mitchell returned to the original starting lineup, replacing Humphries, veteran Anthony Parker played for TJ Ford, and Maurice Peterson formed the Raptors' backcourt.

Very good, returning to the original lineup again, it seems that Coach Sam still sees the problem, that is, the Raptors' teammates don't have a thorough understanding of this tactic, and they are not very familiar with it, so just change back.

The idea is good, but the reality is that this change has left many people at a loss.

This is mainly because, 'Dragon King' Bosh.

Bosh's position has not changed much. He is a mid-range power forward, which is why Coach Sam asked him to play point forward.But this time the tactics changed, and his function also changed, from an organizer to an offensive terminator.

In this way, others are a little uncomfortable, because there is another problem with the distribution of the ball rights.When we arrived at Bosh, the battle was almost over, so many people watched the 'Dragon King' and played alone...

Kuang Ang!

It was another sliding dunk after a fast break, and Hu's pass made Nate perform again.

It's just that this time'Little Potato''s raging basket, did not get many people's response.

There was not even booing from the fans. The Canadian fans had nothing to say at this time. In the entire Aviation Center stadium, only a small group of New York Knicks fans shouted with joy.

Because, this goal was already at 9 minutes and 33 seconds of the third quarter, and the score was 83 to 57. The Knicks led by 26 points.

From this moment on, the battle for the top spot in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Division has entered garbage time!

　The fox is very emotional, and there is no interruption during the Chinese New Year, and the fox is telling everyone the truth, there is really no one word of the manuscript, and it is all during the Chinese New Year.Yes, I still ask everyone, I hope everyone can support Fox a lot, thank you!
