Chapter 301

Judging from the competition in the first quarter, whether it's rebounding after bottoming out, or knowing shame and then being brave, anyway, the Knicks' team is still in good shape in this game. Even against the Pistons, they should have a fight.

However, the current time period is the bench time that the Knicks are most afraid of playing against the Pistons. The personnel changes on both sides are very small, which means that the Pistons' inside substitutes still maintain their strength against the Knicks' substitutes.

From the point of view of height, the Knicks' bench insiders actually have an advantage. They are taller, and even if Thomas wants a condescending effect, he can easily do it.Because the Knicks now have a lot of big guys on the bench, but these guys are relatively thin.

The only big man who can take a shot is Channing Frye. Lao Qian is already on the thin side, and Jeffries, Randolph Morris, etc., look good, but when they play The truth is revealed.

The inside forwards of the Pistons are just a bunch of muscular men and simple blue-collar workers. Not only are they tall and thick in stature, but they are also wild and rough in style.

Its representative is Jason Maxhill, a small man with a height of only [-] meters, and often even marks the opponent's tall center forward.This guy has a wide body and extremely strong strength, not much worse than the runaway 'Big Ben' Wallace

This is American basketball. The American basketball concept is all-round. It does not mean that whoever is tall will take advantage of it. Height is just a talent. Strength and speed are still very important.

So in the face of such an insider, Thomas can only send a few guys with decent strength on hand.Veteran Malik Rose is one of them, and there is also Diving Green, who does dirty work. His position is originally a small forward, so let this guy play inside.

As for the perimeter, this year's Pistons have changed, that is, they newly signed last season's main backup point for the Wizards, Jarvis Hayes, so that the Pistons' perimeter firepower continues unabated.

However, Lao Hu knows that the Pistons' substitutes still have some problems, that is, there is a veteran on the outside, and his condition should not be very good.

Lindsay Hunter, this veteran has also played for the Pistons for twelve years, and it can be said that he has devoted himself to death.He nodded at whatever the Pistons asked him to do. He thought he was traded to the Bucks as a bargaining chip, and then traveled around several teams in the league. When he finally returned to the Pistons, he was still cut by the Celtics. Yes, just came back.Of course, that was agreed between Joe Dumars and the Celtics.

But even such a veteran has finally reached the time when the hero is twilight. Lao Hu knows very well that the veteran Hunter will retire after not playing for a long time this season.In fact, it was because Hunter's competitive state was not as good as before.

Why does Lao Hu care so much about this Hunter?
That is because the old Hunter left a deep impression on people. When the Pistons played the finals with the Lakers in 04, it was this energetic old Hunter who continued the offense of the Pistons when Billups was not on the court. Many times staged a good show of riding alone.

Now it depends on whether the Knicks can grasp this point. Hunter is old, and Marbury is not young, but in general, the old horse is still much younger than Hunter.

But in any case, we have to pull out whether it is a mule or a horse.

The competition started within Lao Hu's expectations.

Sure enough, as expected, the old Hunter is indeed old, his personal offensive ability has been infinitely close to zero, and the old Hunter can only give the Pistons the last heat in the offensive organization.

Marbury is not good at stubble, the nickname 'lone wolf' refers to his playing alone, but it also shows that this guy has a wolf nature.That is to play fiercely, and you will never miss the opportunity if you seize the opportunity.

Therefore, facing Hunter who couldn't run, Lao Ma suddenly found the feeling he had back then.

boom!Swish!It was another fast break after a steal, and the old horse easily threw off all the chasers and scored the ball.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Seeing that his substitute lineup didn't seem to take advantage of it, coach Philip Sanders immediately made personnel adjustments. He replaced the young player Rodney Stuckey, who was selected by the Pistons with the 15th overall pick this year. rookie.

This substitution is very bold, because in the original history, Stuckey only served as the Pistons' backup point guard after the old Hunter retired.Although Stuckey's draft pick is not low, Sanders has always been very conservative in using the teenager.

In fact, this is also thanks to Marbury, because in the original history, Marbury was still fighting against Thomas at this time, and he would never appear in the NBA.

This is a butterfly effect. Old Hu was reborn, and then it affected Marbury and Thomas. In this game, Marbury came off the bench again and killed Hunter. Therefore, a new star Stuckey To be born.

Of course, not so fast, the Pistons are still Billups' team.

However, Stuckey's strength is still there. Although he is still a little immature, the offense of the Pistons has improved.

Next, the substitutes of the Knicks and the Pistons continued to play against each other, because the insiders of both sides were blue-collar players, so the main thing was to look at the firepower from the outside.Naturally, he couldn't play this ball slowly, with many turnovers and fast breaks.

"Ha! Another steal, the Knicks caught another chance this time... a layup! Aha! He was blocked! This guy Maxiel is really unbelievable..."

"The Pistons seized the opportunity and made a shot. Although this opportunity was not so good, sure enough! Didn't make it..."

The two commentators of TNT are also busy, but the head coaches of both sides seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, substitutions!

The substitutes of the Knicks and Pistons fought fiercely on the court, but they were substitutes after all, but the second quarter was about half way through, and the main players of both sides hadn't come up yet.

In fact, this is the tactic of Pistons head coach Saunders. Saunders knows very well that through so many fights with the Knicks, basically anyone can see clearly that the Pistons' bench is stronger than the Knicks. .

That being the case, let's make more use of our own advantages. Anyway, the Pistons' powerful forward group has an advantage in the paint.In this way, it is impossible for the whole situation to become bad. Only by controlling the inside line can the entire game be controlled.Even if the Knicks are replaced as the main force, the Pistons are not afraid, because they only need to replace Rasheed Wallace at that time, and they can guard Curry.In fact, this is mainly the effect of the Pistons' defense against Curry. The gap between the main force and the substitute is not very big.

Then, as long as the substitute stays on the field for a while, even if it is only 1 minute, it can take advantage of physical strength. Therefore, in order to make the most of his own advantages, the head coach Sanders is not so anxious to replace himself. The starting main force, even if the Pistons are still behind.

Of course, this is not to say that there were no substitutions. The Knicks and Pistons had substitutions during this period, but the benches were replaced!

Both sides are holding back, Thomas just simply doesn't want to show weakness, and the current situation is that the Knicks are leading. Although the lead is only about 6 points now, it is not considered a lead, so Laoto is also nervous and does not want to change the main force.

As a result, the bench players on both sides got a long time to perform in the second quarter, and the chaos on the scene lasted even longer.

Beep!At 7 minutes and 47 seconds into the second quarter, Thomas finally couldn't hold back anymore. If he continued to play like this, he couldn't tell who was the main player and who was the substitute.

Therefore, Thomas was ready to pursue the victory, and he took the initiative to replace the Knicks' starting lineup.

The score at this time was 43 to 36, and the Knicks still led their opponents by 7 points.

Finally played, sitting off the court and watching the game for a long time, Lao Hu felt that he was back to that rookie season again. To be honest, it felt quite interesting.

The Knicks have come up with all the main players, while the Pistons are preserving their strength.

Philip Sanders only sent three people, Billups, Prince, and McDyess!
Max Hill is still on the field, and there is Jarvis Hayes. It seems that the performance of these two bench players still satisfies Sanders.

After the timeout, the Knicks were attacking. Lao Hu had been sitting on the bench for a long time. He really wanted to play a good game, but he immediately saw a dislocation, a big defensive dislocation.

Max Hill is guarding Eddie Curry!

"This Sanders is too bold. Even if Max Hill is very powerful, Curry is definitely not easy to deal with. How can you really play like this?!" Lao Hu admired Sanders' boldness in his heart, but If you look down on people so much, then let you pay for your comeback.

Tactic number one!
Lao Hu immediately made a gesture, very decisively let this guy Curry attack.

With a snap, Curry has already received the ball. After pulling away, there are only Curry and Max Hill in the low post. Although McDyess is still at the other end of the basket, this is enough for Curry to eat his opponent alone.

bang, bang...

Both of them are strong enough. Although Curry has more fat on his body, this does not affect his use of his body to cause enough damage to opponents.

Muscle to muscle, the two people under the basket, one big and one small, are in constant physical contact.

"Oh ho ho ho!..."

"Kill that fat pig!"

"Jason, you are the best!"

The fans in the stands are all afraid that the world will not be chaotic. They just think that if they add a little boxing or wrestling to the basketball game, it must be very interesting.

However, this is still a basketball game.

Squeak!Curry turned around, got the space for the shot very quickly, and shot!
