Chapter 285 Easy First Victory

"Shhhhhh..."

"Ooh! GO! CAVE! GO!..."

The Knicks and the Cavaliers' substitutes faced off amid such cheering sounds, and listening to this sound, it seemed that the Knicks' substitutes did not lose the wind.

That's right, that's it.The Knicks' bench lineup composed of Marbury, Crawford, Jeffries, Frye and Malik Rose played impressively, not only did not lose the wind, but simply overwhelmed the opponent.

The Cavaliers' bench has not changed, Daniel Gibson, Pavlovich, Ira Newport, Marshall, Varejao.Their characteristic is still focusing on the inside, waiting for opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside, which is exactly the pattern of last season.

However, the Knicks' bench has long been prepared. They speed up the game, try to land as few positions as possible, and then strengthen steals.Although the Knicks will make more mistakes in this way, this situation is more suitable for the Knicks who are not tall enough and faster.

Swish!Marbury hit a three-pointer in a fast break again, leading by two points 37 to 35.

Beep!Mike Brown had to call a timeout because he didn't want to lose, especially against the Knicks at home.

"The Cavaliers called a timeout, what kind of arrangements will Coach Brown make?..." Smith was still very conscientious, but Barkley immediately came out to complain.

"That guy Brown can't do anything about it. I guess he is still the same. He just called out LeBron James. I will use this trick."

Sure enough, as Barkley said, Mike Brown replaced all the main players, including the 'little emperor' LeBron James.

Everyone can see it, and Coach Tot can also see it, so he immediately played the main force, but he needs to use Balkman to defend LeBron, so Nate was left on the bench.

At this time, the time is already 3 minutes and 52 seconds of the second quarter, and this should be the decisive battle between the two sides in the first half.

From now on, nothing has changed, so the Cavaliers' weaknesses have not changed.

Although he knows this, what needs to be done now is to defend.But fortunately, Lao Hu doesn't have to double-team LeBron.

The Cavaliers still play that way, attacking completely around LeBron, but this time he met Balkman, an 'old rival'.

LeBron chose a very simple style of play, which is to get the ball with his back and squeeze directly to the Knicks' basket, while Balkman can only keep retreating. He is still unable to compete with LeBron in terms of absolute physical strength.

Bang, bang... Soon, LeBron entered the dangerous area. At this time, the Knicks' inside line had to respond, and Lao Li immediately came to help.

boom!Ground pass!Another pass!
Today's LeBron is very interesting. As long as there is a double-team, he will not attack. He will pass the ball when he needs to, and he will return the ball very reasonably.

Gooden, after Lao Li helped, Gooden happened to have space, and LeBron's ball also came over, and the ball was quite in place.

However, the athletic ability of NBA players is very strong. In the narrow inside space, they can return to their positions immediately without completely drawing the opponent out.Although this will lose the initiative in defense.

Lao Li immediately withdrew. Although he couldn't completely seal off the space of Gooden, he still interfered with the opponent's shooting as much as possible.

Bang!It seems that this interference has an effect, anyway, this ball hits iron.

"Oh oh oh..." The fans were of course a little disappointed, but that's okay, they've seen this kind of scene a lot.

In any case, although the Knicks missed people and made mistakes in the process of the ball, the result was very good, and the offense was still blocked.

"Back to defense! Back to defense!" LeBron was still the same as before, calling everyone to retreat, and he didn't care about the ball.

But to be honest, Lao Hu really felt a little strange in this state of indifference.

Because this is too indifferent, as if it is normal if the goal is not scored.

When this happened in the playoffs last season, LeBron would have a look of great disappointment on his face.Although it was very short, Lao Hu has seen it a few times, but now, LeBron is completely as if nothing has happened, which is really abnormal.

Whether he is normal or not!I just need to fight hard!The big deal is that there will be some conspiracy and tricks at that time, let's talk about it at that time!
Having made up his mind, Lao Hu devoted himself wholeheartedly to this attack. He must make good use of Snow's 'weakness'!
run!Lao Hu is running. He is actually a point guard now, but the ball was handed over to Ah Q and he went running. It seems that he is not doing his job properly.

First ran from the front to the left corner, then ran from the bottom corner along the baseline to the right corner, and then received a pass from Ah Q.

The reason why he catches the ball is because of the running position this time, the goal has been achieved.

Another season has passed, and the veteran Snow is even older. He will announce his retirement halfway through this season.

But this time, Hu Lin didn't need to run more at all to achieve his goal, and he didn't even need to run a lap as before.

However, the veteran is still very experienced. He couldn't keep up with Hu Lin's footsteps, so he chose a more energy-saving defensive method, that is, he couldn't keep up anyway, so he simply chose to block the road.That is to say, a certain space was released, and Hu Lin's breakthrough route was guarded.

This is a very smart way of defense, because if you go up rashly, it will definitely be the result of an unstable foothold, so that Hu Lin can easily break through Snow.

However, this also means that enough space is given to Hu Lin, and Lao Hu has plenty of time to shoot.

Swish!Lao Hu is quite accurate, hitting a three-pointer!
"Shhhhhhh..." This is the kid, shhh him!

In fact, Snow had already tried his best to defend the ball. He could only choose one method, either to defend Hu Lin's breakthrough, or to give Hu Lin space.Based on his physical ability, the veteran chose to defend against the opponent's breakthrough. This is the right choice. Shooting is always possible, but it is difficult to let Hu Lin cut into the inside.

"Snow is really old. I didn't even think that this guy can still run on the court. If you want me to say that this guy should retire quickly, it would be good to find a job as a head coach." Barkley said The servant came out, and this time he put on the tone of a job introducer.

"However, we should still pay tribute to the veteran. After all, he has been playing hard for so many years and has made his own contributions to many teams. Of course, our Sir Charles has done quite well in this regard. Hehe..." Smith found another opportunity to complain about his old partner.

"It's different! I did it for the championship ring! It's a pity that the ring is too small, and my fingers are too thick. You know, the guy who measures the size of the finger always makes the wrong size." Barkley is very self-deprecating He said energetically, of course he knew that his old partner was a successful person with a ring.

"Hehe...it's okay, if you want, I can lend you to wear it for two days." This is too bad for Smith.

"Haha! You bastard!"

It doesn't matter, the two old friends are already used to joking, and they don't take it seriously.

The game continued, and the Cavaliers' style of play seemed to remain unchanged for thousands of years. This time it was handed over to James.

It seems that there have been fewer shots recently, so LeBron James chose to shoot himself.

He squeezed in with his back, but this time it was not so deep. After reaching the middle distance, LeBron immediately turned over and shot a jumper.

Swish!It's really accurate, this guy probably didn't relax too much in the summer.

However, as soon as he came back, Hu Lin took Snow and ran around the field again.

Swish!Hit again!
"Shhhhhhh..." The fans continued booing Lao Hu.

Then it was time for the Cavaliers to attack again. They still chose LeBron, but this time LeBron chose to pass the ball again, and Big Z hit two points.

The Knicks' offense was also simple, and Lao Hu ran all over the field with Snow again, but this time there were some changes.

Lao Hu is a team player, so this time he is not going to attack by himself.So, when he slipped the bottom line, he turned around halfway through the run.

This action was so sudden that Snow was taken aback for a moment.Not only Snow, but other members of the Cavaliers were taken aback for a moment.

Hu what is this for?Is he going to the inside to do the human wall?With his small stature?

Don't say it, it's really a human wall, but this human wall is a bit fake!
Lao Li cooperated very well, and he quickly passed Lao Hu's side, so that Drew Gooden seemed to be blocked by Lao Hu, but at this juncture, Lao Hu made a move.

That's right, this is the cooperation of a false blocker. Lao Hu and Lao Li move in opposite directions, so that there are now two receiving points under the basket, which immediately confuses the Cavaliers' inside defense.

Because they didn't know which one to defend, and Snow was still in the paint, so their people seemed too chaotic.

Snapped!Lao Hu caught the ball again, but this time he didn't attack by himself, but swung it a bit, and after attracting the Cavaliers' defense, he immediately passed it to Lao Li.

Swish!The Knicks' cooperation was successful again.

It can be said that for the rest of the first half, the Knicks and Cavaliers played at such a rhythm.

The Cavaliers revolved around LeBron, while the Knicks were Hu taking advantage of the opponent's defensive loopholes.

However, in effect, the Knicks' offense is much better.Because their cooperation is very proficient, not to mention, there are many tricks. It is often through the cooperation of two or three people that they can find a very good shooting space. Moreover, Lao Hu still maintains his strength against Snow.

But there are some problems with the Cavaliers. LeBron played two words today, 'reasonable'!
That's right, it's too reasonable, pass when you need to pass, and attack when you need to attack.As long as you double-team, I must pass the ball. As long as no one is double-teaming, I will definitely shoot by myself, but most of them are mid-range shots.

But here's the problem, the Cavaliers are basically relying on LeBron's team, but this time they don't have it.Of course, if those vacancies caused by double-teaming can be grasped, that would be good. Unfortunately, the feel of the Cavaliers' role players in the first quarter did not last until the second quarter.

In this way, without LeBron's strong attack, that is, he attacks the basket less, and others have the opportunity to take open shots. Of course, the Cavaliers' offense is very difficult.

When the second quarter was over, the Knicks had already led their opponents by 56 points 45 to 11.

"The first half is over, and the leader has changed from the Cavaliers to the Knicks. It seems that it started from the bench competition at the beginning of the second quarter. It seems that the Knicks' bench lineup has changed a lot this year..." Smith was summing up the first half, but as usual, he was interrupted by Barkley again.

"I said old man, you will not forget, right? The Knicks' current bench lineup is the most luxurious in the league. Have you forgotten the Knicks' 2000 million Mr.?" Marbury is already playing well now.

"Oh, I was indeed wrong just now. If you look at it this way, the Knicks do have the most powerful bench player in the league! Hehe..."

Well, if you don't lose your mouth, then don't do commentary, especially in the United States.

But these things can't affect the Knicks now. Anyway, the old horse has already compromised with Thomas. He hopes to win a championship, a chance to prove himself, and substitute as a substitute. Anyway, 2000 million US dollars is a lot, these How could he care about such a thing?

What needs to be considered now is the Cavaliers' counterattack.In other words, in the second half, the Cavaliers will definitely launch a strong counterattack, and they cannot sit still.You must know that this is their home game, and they lost to the Dallas Mavericks by more than 20 points in the last game. Note, that is also their home game!

However, the development of things, especially the development of the game, can sometimes be very unexpected.

At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks were counterattacked, and the Cavaliers suddenly picked up their speed. They wanted to fight the Knicks to the death.

As the helm of the team, Lao Hu tried his best to deal with it. He controlled the rhythm of the Knicks very well and did not let the opponent's plan succeed.

After 5 minutes in the third quarter, the score came to 67 to 54, and the Knicks even led by 13 points.

Didn't the opponent launch a counterattack?Why is the Knicks still stretching the score?
The reason is that in this counterattack, the Cavaliers' counterattack first replaced the young Daniel Gibson and asked him to increase the Cavaliers' attack speed.

However, the speed has increased, but the Cavaliers' turnovers have also increased.At this time, the shortcomings of the young teenager were exposed.Under Lao Hu's defense, Gibson contributed two turnovers in a short period of time.

But this time the counterattack failed, the Cavaliers seemed to have no motivation, and they never shook the Knicks' lead.

When there were 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Knicks were already leading 92 to 73, completely entering the rhythm of garbage time.

The home fans also left the field, and there was no one left on the field. Even Mr. 2000 million was on the bench.

But, to be honest, although the ball was won, Lao Hu just felt that this matter was very strange, it was very strange anyway!

Was it too easy to win? !
