Chapter 289 The Nuggets' Counterattack

"Shhhhhhh..." Knicks fans are now booing their opponents, because the Nuggets bench is using their passion to fill the holes dug by the main players.

The Knicks and Nuggets' substitute players are now playing fast against each other. They are both very fast and make a lot of mistakes, but the Nuggets' team is more accurate in shooting.

After JR. Smith played as a substitute, he felt even better, much better than when he was the main player. It seems that this guy should be a substitute honestly.

Kleiza is completely open. He was originally an international player with a relatively strong style of play. After getting familiar with the rhythm of the NBA, his performance is getting better and better.Moreover, the current situation is that after the main force competition, the Nuggets are behind, which makes him dare to fight even more.

Moreover, although the Nuggets' substitute insiders fouled too much, they played earlier and were more physically active.On the other hand, the inside line of the Knicks seemed a little underprepared because they had just come up, and they were suppressed by their opponents.

23 is better than 19!

23 is better than 21!

25 is better than 21!

25 to 24!At this point, the Knicks had to call a timeout.However, it doesn't seem to have much effect.

By the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were only 28 to 27 ahead of their opponents by one point.Especially the last goal, let the opponent chase and hit a three-pointer!
"Oh my god! The first quarter is finally over. In just a few minutes, I seem to be a little out of breath!" Fraser said while panting heavily. I have to say that his performance was very good. A good simulation of the mental state of New York fans.

"The Nuggets' bench performed very well. They showed their desire and enthusiasm for victory today, which is really surprising!" Brien praised more than five people at once this time.

The performance of the Nuggets really surprised Lao Hu a bit. It seems that JR. Smith is indeed holding back his strength.

However, there is nothing Lao Hu can do now. He can only hope that the rest in the first quarter will reduce the momentum of the Nuggets.

"Dantou, do you think the Nuggets have taken medicine?" Anyway, he was resting, and Marbury didn't want to listen to Thomas' speech, so he came over to chat with Lao Hu.

"Hehe! It's normal. These guys are like this. They play like crazy. The more chaotic they play, the better it is for them." Old Hu replied with a smile.

"Should we slow down?"

"It's not necessary to slow down, I think it's better to rush inside more!"

"Oh!" Hearing this, Marbury basically understood.

As a person who has been in the NBA much longer than Lao Hu, Marbury quickly understood what Hu Lin meant.

That is, continue Lao Hu's tactics of killing opponents.

This should not be a tactic, but in this game, it should work well.

There is no other reason. This is the Nuggets and Knicks. After the last fight, it can be said that the two sides have played against each other for the first time.Although the two sides competed in the middle, many people did not play in that game, and the most representative Anthony was watching from the sidelines.

With this major premise, what will NBA officials do?

They will never allow another brawl like that in that game. Although Stern doesn't understand basketball, he doesn't like anything that damages the image of the NBA.Even if fights are sometimes eye-catching, that's not okay.

Then, the referee of this ball must control the situation, so the scale of the foul must be very, very strict.

This is why Lao Hu made so many fouls in the first quarter. In many cases, they were actually body hair-level fouls.

However, even if it is a nano-level foul, the referee may call it, because they must control the game.As for the question of which players from both sides will stay on the court, it is definitely not a priority. As long as the game can end smoothly, that is more important than anything else.

So, bravely hit the basket!

At the beginning of the game, there was no change in the personnel of both sides, and it was still the lineup at the end of the second quarter.

The Knicks still go first, but this time, it's really different.

Squeak!Marbury slid past his current opponent, Chucky Atkins, very quickly, and very suddenly went inside the Nuggets.

Beep!The expected whistle came, this time it was Najera, a Mexican.

"Oh ho ho ho!..."

"GO! STARBURY! GO!..."

Seeing Marbury's performance, the fans are very satisfied. As long as the old horse plays well, he will still be the hero of the New Yorkers, and he will still be the "son of New York"!
"Aha!" Lao Hu was also waving the towel. Sometimes it's quite refreshing to watch others perform well because they listened to their own opinions.

It's like giving a move to a stinky chess basket. The chess player may not feel much, but the person who makes the move is very cool!

In fact, Marbury was strong enough to beat his current opponent, Chucky Atkins.

The key is that this guy is not young. Atkins only came to the Nuggets this year and got a veteran's basic salary.It's just that this guy was a very energetic little man before, known for his speed and dexterity, but, after all, he is old, he is now 33 years old.

Marbury before, because he had to play well and play reasonably, he always controlled his breakthrough.This is a good sign, but when it's time to use it, the old horse has to use it.

Swish!Swish!Two free throws were made, and the Knicks opened up the score slightly 31 to 27.

Although Najera had fouled three times, George Karl did not take any action. He still shouted loudly at the players on the sidelines without intending to make a substitution.

The game continued, and the momentum of the Nuggets didn't seem to be stagnant because of the rest, and their offensive ability was indeed second to none.

After JR. Smith teased Crawford a few times, he pulled out his hand and hit a three-pointer!

After this guy scored a goal, he raised three fingers. This guy already had an arrogant and stinking face, but he looked even more annoying at this time.

Sure enough, Crawford asked Marbury for the ball. At this time, Marbury had to give it, because the status of the old horse was no longer what it used to be.

So, the drama of Crawford VSJR. Smith was staged again.

After a while of shaking, Crawford broke into the paint and threw a floater.Obviously, Crawford didn't know what to kill the opponent. He killed the opponent, which is the best.

It seems that the plan is one thing, but when it is executed, there will always be various changes. As the saying goes, the plan does not change quickly!

However, this is after all a competition between the benches. After 4 minutes of the second quarter, the two sides began to replace the main players one after another. When Lao Hu appeared again, it was already 5 minutes and 12 seconds into the second quarter.

"Both sides have replaced starters, and the Knicks still sent Balkman to deal with Cameron. It seems that now is the most important moment in the first half." Brien pointed out the current situation of the two sides.

"It's a pity that the Knicks' luxurious bench lineup failed to solve the problem well. The home team is now two points behind." Frazier was a little worried.

That's right, the current score is that the Knicks are 38 to 40 behind their opponents.

But Lao Hu's face was full of smiles, because Marbury had completed the task that should be completed. Although he didn't get rid of all the opponent's players, he also allowed Camby and Kenyon Martin to play early.

So if this is the case, continue to kill!
Now that the Knicks have the ball, Lao Hu just has the opportunity to deal with the opponent's center!

Moreover, the Nuggets don't seem to realize the threat of Hulin now, they are still using veteran Anthony Carter to defend Hulin.

With a wave, Lao Li ran out again!
This time Hu Lin did not choose to 'tick' Iverson, because there was absolutely no need to do that.

The change of position was very smooth, and Lao Hu faced Kenyon Martin all at once!
Ma Zhuangyuan's defense is actually not bad, but he is not that kind of conscious player, mainly relying on his super physical fitness.This guy has a good body, strong strength, high jumping, and it is common for him to slap others.

However, it is not easy for Martin to put a defender's breakthrough. He prefers to defend the last shot.

Therefore, Martin was retreating, and he gave Hu Lin a lot of space. It seemed that he was very confident in his jumping, even if he was far away from the opponent, he could interfere with the opponent's shooting.Moreover, doing so can also prevent him from fouling easily. Martin suffered a lot before.

However, Lao Hu would not let this guy go easily, he rushed over with a big stride, as if he was going to crash into Martin's arms.

The opponent is really bad, this is simply too much deception, Ma Zhuangyuan is angry, he is a master who rarely suffers, and usually he makes others suffer.Martin immediately put on a defensive stance, his center of gravity sank, waiting for Lao Hu to come over.

"Kenyon! Don't do that!" Old Karl shouted on the sidelines, but Ma Zhuangyuan didn't seem to hear him at all.

Old Carl is not stupid. He has long realized what the Knicks Chinese wants to do. Therefore, he told the insiders of the whole team not to foul lightly and to minimize physical contact.However, it is one thing to command, and another to carry it out.

Otherwise, the old coach would not always make the players stiff, and there are reasons for this.

boom!Seeing that the opponent stopped retreating, Lao Hu suddenly made a crotch dribble, so that he also stopped.However, Lao Hu immediately flipped his wrist, made a false pass pass, and then did it again, and immediately took the ball back!
At the same time, Lao Hu's footsteps did not stop, he took out the European step again, and this time, Martin was fooled again!
