Chapter 255

"Ms. Xu, the first quarter of the game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers is over. Mr. Xu, what do you think of the first quarter?" Yu Jia seems to have been watching Detective Di's movies recently.

"Hehe, judging from the first quarter of the two sides, we can only say that this game was very tense and intense. But both sides seemed to have opened a blacksmith shop at the same time. After the first quarter, the score was 19 to 17. Adams led by two points, but this score is really too little. Hehe, I feel that the two teams are not in the right state. Although the defense in this playoffs is different from the regular season, the shooting percentage of the two teams today, It's really low, hehe..." Teacher Xu is still the same, but he probably can't find any reason.

To be honest, as the two NBA teams, and the team that reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, the first quarter ended 19 to 17. The score is really low.

But there are reasons for this. First of all, the Knicks seem to have taken a little too much rest. That’s right, people are like this. With too much rest, sometimes they really can’t cheer up.In addition, the Knicks are still an away game, and they have been completely suppressed by the Cavaliers fans in terms of momentum, so they are naturally even less energetic.In addition, the Cavaliers were originally a defensive team, and it was even more troublesome for the Knicks to score goals.

As for the Cavaliers, Lao Hu is not very clear, but judging from the performance on the court, it seems that apart from LeBron James, there are really not many shots that can really be taken.Maybe it's because the Cavaliers are not in good shape, or they are a little tired. After all, the Wizards will be energetic as soon as they beat the Cavaliers, even though Arenas is not there.

But no matter what, the first quarter of the game is over, and the second quarter of the two sides will start immediately!
Or the Cavaliers first attack, but this time the Cavaliers are a group of substitute players.The Knicks' players on the court are of course like substitutes, but in comparison, it seems that the Knicks are about to be weaker.

In other words, it’s mainly about the insider competition. The Knicks currently have three insiders, Cato, Malik Rose, and Frye. , he is really too slow.Malik Rose is okay, but not tall enough. Frye has good speed and flexibility, but he is too thin.

The Cavaliers are Varejao, Donyell Marshall, and Alexander Pavlovic. The mobility of these three is really high. Pavlovich is 2 meters tall, but in reality His original position was shooting guard.

Therefore, in the competition for substitutes, the Knicks suddenly fell behind.

During the regular season, this shortcoming was not particularly exposed, but the antagonism in the playoffs has been greatly strengthened, and a loss inside will really make the situation very ugly.

As a result, the Knicks basically relied on Crawford alone to survive on the perimeter.No way, Boss F still can't play, and the Knicks are now in Jeffries.

Of course, in the face of the team's lack of rotation, Coach To also has a solution, which is to extend the playing time of some players.For example, Hu Lin.

Just 3 minutes after the game, Lao Hu was sent on the field by coach Tuo. If he didn't play, it would be impossible. Now the Knicks are completely in a situation of going it alone, and the score is also overtaken by their opponents.

When Lao Hu came on the court, it was already 24 to 25, and the Knicks were one point behind.Coach Toto was very smart. Instead of Jeffries, he replaced Cato, who ran too slowly. In this way, the Knicks' inside line became a combination of a short guy and two skinny guys.

The Knicks' current insiders may not be strong enough, but they still have height and speed.But putting the focus of offense on them must have some problems. At least the Cavaliers' current defense is not bad.

Then, Lao Hu set his sights on the outside line of the Cavaliers' bench.Although Lao Hu came up, Mike Brown didn't mean to change players. He seemed to be very satisfied with his current field configuration. Anyway, there are no Cavaliers in the waiting area in front of the technical stage.

This should be able to take advantage, because the current Cavaliers perimeter is Damon Jones plus Shannon Brown.

Compared to Daniel Gibson, Shannon Brown, who is more physically fit, made his appearance in the playoffs first.Although in the regular season, Gibson has already had the experience of starting, but in the previous series, Gibson did not play for 1 minute.

Both guards have problems. Damon Jones' physical fitness is average. Although his defense is very smart, he can only be called average at best.Shannon Brown is just the opposite. He is definitely a guard with excellent physical fitness, but he is just a rookie this year, and his experience is close to zero, especially in the playoffs!
Moreover, Lao Hu also knew that this guy had another weakness, which was his poor mental quality.

This was an All-Star Slam Dunk Contest that year. Shannon Brown was already a Lakers player that year, and after he was shortlisted, Kobe offered to help him pass the ball.It's a pity that Brown, who was originally strong, played abnormally and was eliminated in the first round.

Because this person was blown so hard before, Lao Hu took a little time, and found that Brown has a vertical take-off of more than 110 centimeters, and he once competed with LBJ in high school for a dunk stunt, and even has a 360 The Statue of Liberty.

So this is the point!

Jones and Brown are both combo guards, and Jones was beaten twice by Crawford just now, so now Brown is defending Crawford.

Lao Hu made a gesture, which was a gesture that had never been seen before, but Crawford could still understand it.

With a whoosh, Lao Hu handed the ball to Crawford, and after that, Lao Hu ran towards Shannon Brown.

The purpose of this move is very simple, it is to build a wall for Crawford. Although the effect of Lao Hu's human wall is mediocre, it is still a wall.

"Hey! Dude pass the ball!"

When he came to Brown's side, Lao Hu immediately said the above sentence, and then he immediately ran to the Cavaliers' basket!
From the looks of it, this is a tactical coordination of fake picks and real rolls!is this real?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Brown was taken aback by Lao Hu's voice, and turned his head to look behind him.

How could Crawford let go of such an opportunity? Naturally, he easily got rid of Brown's defense, and Damon Jones, who followed Lao Hu, just stretched out his hand for a moment.

Swish!With an emergency stop jumper, Crawford scored two points. 26 to 25, the Knicks once again overtook the score.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Next, it's defense. There is no way, the Knicks' inside line is inherently too weak, so Lao Hu simply helps the inside line to double-team the opponent!
Anyway, no matter who catches the ball, as long as he catches the ball inside, he will help, unless it is too far away.However, this ball happened to be on Lao Hu's side, so it was just right to double-team.

At this time, Shannon Brown, who was supposed to be facing up to Lao Hu, could really take a walk on the outside.

"Pass! Pass!" Lao Hu let go of Brown so boldly that all the fans present were yelling to pass the ball. They could see it clearly, but they were afraid that the players on the field would not see it.

Well, at this time, the fans seem to have forgotten that they are watching an NBA game, and their worries are a little unnecessary.

Sure enough, Shannon Brown scored the ball from outside the three-point line, but to be honest, he was a little hesitant when he took the ball.

Although Brown's physical fitness is very good, but like most rookie guards this year, shooting is not his strong point.Although his shooting range has already begun to be developed in college, the NBA's three-point line is 1 meter longer than that of the NCAA.

To vote or not to vote!During this selection process, Lao Hu has already returned.It seems that Shannon Brown is really not Hamlet's material!

However, at the moment when Hulin came back, Shannon Brown made up his mind and voted!
Really shot!Even if Lao Hu didn't lose his defensive position, even if the ball seemed so difficult, Shannon Brown still chose to shoot!
Bang!The result is also predictable.

Brown can choose other methods, or cooperate with others, but if he can choose this way, then this person is not Shannon Brown.

Therefore, even if the goal was not scored, Brown himself was annoyed, but he just blamed himself, completely unaware that he had fallen into the opponent's urn!
Lao Hu's method is very simple, which is to use the psychology of a rookie in the NBA and combine it with Brown's own personality characteristics. Don't forget that Lao Hu was also a rookie last year.

For the next attack, Lao Hu still played the same cooperation with Crawford just now, and continued to tease the rookie!
"Don't worry about this guy! Give me the ball!" Lao Hu changed a few words in Brown's ear this time.

However, Brown was not fooled this time. Of course, he gritted his teeth and stared at the opponent in front of him.

Snapped!Since they were not fooled, they are handing the ball to Lao Hu. This is the tactic between them.

Turn your back and take the Sikma step!

Hu Lin didn't seem to care about Damon Jones' defense at all, and he easily let the veteran focus on one thing and lose another.

But, it's not a breakthrough!
Whoosh!After Lao Hu got the space, he shook the ball and immediately stuffed the ball into the basket.

Crawford was waiting there!
boom!Swish!It was easy to hit the board and get into the basket, because Hu Lin's offense just now attracted the attention of the Cavaliers, and Crawford ran out from the Knicks' inside wall.

"Good shot! This tactical coordination is quite subtle. The Knicks are playing better and better recently!" Yu Jia likes this coordination very much. The key is this game. This kind of coordination is relatively rare.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Cleveland fans will never let go of the opportunity to boo their opponents, regardless of whether the ball is beautiful or not!
　It's the fifth day of the lunar new year, so it seems like we should say something auspicious.Then I wish everyone a fortune in the Year of the Snake!hey-hey!
