Chapter 72 The Best Point Guard ([-])

Because of the time difference between the Eastern and Western festivals, Hu Lin couldn't go home, and his parents didn't want to go to the United States. One was the visa trouble, the other was the language barrier. I am very busy, earning money for my son to marry a wife.

So, the two of them decided that Feng Kuo didn't come, but stayed at home to do a filial piety for Hu Lin.

In the last month of 05, the Knicks only won two games in total. The current record is 8 wins and 20 losses.Such a record is really unreasonable, so the Knicks need to change, they can't just keep rotten like this, you must know that their salary level is the highest in the league.

The management of the team is not without hard work. There are still personnel changes this month. Barnes, who has played the main force for several games, has been laid off. Yes, this is hard work, so the lineup is at least slimmer, and the reason is very simple. , just to spend less money. You must know that if it comes to January 1th, Barnes' non-guaranteed contract will be forcibly converted into a guaranteed contract. Facing the huge salary problem of 10 million, layoffs Losing Barnes is still a good choice.Although the mantis is thin, it is still a piece of meat.

Of course, no one cares that Barnes found a job immediately, the 76ers gave him a new contract, and no one cares that a group of rookies with a basic salary are extremely efficient, and naturally no one cares that they will get 1000 this year. The two million dollar 'penny' only came out to play 4 games, and the total time was less than 20 minutes before he went back to the hospital.

But there is also a positive side. Maybe after waiting for too long, the team's uniform team finally got their hands on Jerome James!
God knows what this guy who eats and sleeps all day said, 'his actions are bad for the team', so he was suspended indefinitely, so the Knicks can save nearly $5 per game , it should be said, well done!

Don't doubt everyone, this is the NBA!

The conflict between the generals and the generals in the team has become more and more intensified, and it is basically semi-public.Marbury is a relatively straightforward person, and Brown is also very straightforward. To be honest, neither of these two people is a bad person, and they are very serious about their work, but it is because of this that the conflict between the two becomes irreconcilable.

Marbury hopes that someone can help him block people or pick and roll, so he can often kill insiders. It's not that he doesn't have three-point ability, but breakthroughs are more in line with his style, and he also prefers breakthroughs!
How could it be possible for a person who once killed all directions in the street court not to like to break through?

Brown is a coach who has never played pick-and-roll at all. He is a standard academic coach who always emphasizes reasonable basketball concepts. Therefore, he hopes that Marbury, as a point guard, will not always focus on personal offense. , Pay attention to the strength of your teammates.And, like in the 76ers, Brown has always been outspoken. He thinks it is good for the players, and he will say it to his face. He is such a person.

In fact, there are many similarities between the two people, but unfortunately, they just can't pee in the same pot.

Two straight men together really can't make a difference!It's all strange.

Not to mention the fans in New York are dissatisfied, even domestic fans have lost confidence in the Knicks, they are constantly trying to come up with ideas, but these things can only stay in the minds of these fans and in the forum posts , will never have any impact on the status quo of the Knicks.

Life has to go on, and the regular season can't stop. The NBA won't wait for you to resolve your conflicts before starting the game. Let's solve it as you go.

On January 1, the first game of the new year, the Knicks will face the Phoenix Suns at home.

The Knicks' opening starters are Eddie Curry, David Lee, Antonio Davis, Crawford, Marbury.The old coach still wanted to change, Ah Q suffered a back injury and couldn't play. Although there were conflicts, Marbury was still the number one point guard.

For the Suns, Boris Diaw, Curt Thomas, Marion, Raja Bell, Nash.The coach is D'Antoni, and 'Stoudemire' has been reimbursed for this season due to a serious injury. Therefore, they can only rely on the former Knicks veteran Curt Thomas inside. This gentleman is really an evergreen tree.

Let's skip those things before the game, and the game begins.

As soon as the first quarter came up, Marbury seemed to want to prove something, with full firepower, shooting inside and outside, scoring frequently, but the Sharks met Thomas' tenacious defense inside, and the Suns knew that they were tall. It is a disadvantage, so basically the small sharks are taken around the front and flanking, and it is difficult for the small sharks to get the ball.In this way, Lao Li has played to a certain extent, of course, only to a certain extent.

Everyone probably knows that the Suns in this period did not rely on defense for food. They played offense, bombardment, and D’Antoni’s specialty. The current team is very skilled. Under Nash’s organization, the Suns are like Playing fast is like a whirlwind, scoring points frequently.

As soon as it came up, the Knicks scored 10-0, but the Suns soon chased them back. In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the Suns first relied on Eddie House's three-pointer to tie the score. After catching up to 21 to 22, Frye, who came off the bench for the Knicks, scored consecutively. Finally, Barbosa scored a goal, and Marbury responded with a three-pointer, 23 to 27, and the Knicks ended in the lead.

Marbury played very well in this quarter, so Brown was very face-saving, and Hu Lin didn't play.

But the main force needs to rest, and the second quarter is for Hu Lin.

Hu Lin faced Eddie House at the beginning. Although Hu Lin hadn't played against him, he still had some impressions of this guy.His nickname is 'Big Wallet', how should I put it, he is a guy who can score as many points as possible if he shoots crazy Attacking guard, playing point guard, his ball handling ability is relatively poor.

Nate Robinson?It was sent to NBDL not long ago.

So, Hu Lin pressed on this guy, he wanted to win, he wanted to make more contributions.

Sure enough, under the pressure of Hu Lin, Eddie House was a little flustered. He was shorter than Hu Lin, so if he was forced into the corner, his vision would be very bad, and there was no way to pass it down. The ball was blocked by Crawford who was waiting for the opportunity.Originally a super substitute, he was replaced by Trevor Ariza in the middle of the first quarter and played again in the second quarter.

Fast attack!

This kind of outside interception, under normal circumstances, the success rate of the fast break is extremely high, because very few people come back from the defense.However, this time Eddie House returned to the defense very actively in order to make up for his mistakes. You must know that he is just a substitute, and it is impossible not to be active.

Crawford has nothing to do, he can only pass the ball, or let alone this fast break, many balls in the position will end in his hands.

To whom?Of course it was Hu Lin, he was the closest.

"Kang ang!"

After Hu Lin received the ball, he jumped into the free throw line and swung his arms like a windmill, making the basket tremble.

"Yeah!" Turning around, he gave Crawford and his teammates a high-five. The big guys on the bench were still waving white towels.

To be honest, Hu Lin hasn't been so happy with buckle for a long time, he really has been depressed for a long time.

"wahoo!!!!" This is Madison Square Garden, and the fans were quite surprised to see this Chinese man behave like this.
