340 Chapter 338: Tell the truth

When the electronic buzzer sounded, representing the end of the first quarter, Spike Lee looked up at the big screen.

Before the game started, Spike Lee was still very excited, with an impatient expression on his face, claiming that he wanted to watch Henson Joe and Paul make jokes.

But now, the black director's face is ashen.His conspicuous orange outfit just makes him look extremely awkward.

28 to 20, in just one quarter, the Pacers let the New York Knicks fall behind by 8 points.You know, this is still when Anthony has already scored 9 points alone.

If it weren't for Anthony and JR Smith's outstanding performance in the rotation time, Spike Lee has reason to believe that the Knicks will be behind by double digits.

He didn't want to make a documentary for a Chinese, and the bet with Henson was purely a whim.

Spike Lee likes to use the perspective of blacks to create movies, and through movies, express to the world the social phenomenon of black people in America.But a Chinese?Come on, Spike Lee doesn't understand Chinese life.

"Guys, work harder, okay!?" Thinking of making a documentary for Henson, Spike Lee couldn't help getting goosebumps all over his body.So he turned his head and yelled at the Knicks bench, but instead of motivating the players, he was hated by Mike Woodson.

Spike Lee is a die-hard Knicks fan, and he also has his own exclusive VIP seat at Madison Square Garden.But this does not mean that Spike Lee has a good relationship with all the Knicks.

At least the current Knicks coach Mike Woodson doesn't like Spike Lee very much, because as a layman, he always likes to dictate to the team, which makes Mike Woodson very annoyed.

"Shut up, Mr. Spike Lee, we know what to do!" So, seeing Spike Lee yelling, Mike Woodson also fought back without hesitation.

Originally, the current situation of the game was enough to make people upset, and Spike Lee came to add fuel and jealousy. Which coach would like it?
In the first quarter, the reason why the Knicks were suppressed can be easily analyzed.

First, no one can contain Paul George's singles.

Second, the Knicks will always have only one attack point on the court, either Anthony or JR Smith.

Therefore, to solve these two problems, Woodson must send someone to guard George, and then let Anthony and Smith play at the same time to increase scoring points!
So, Mike Woodson gave Anthony a task, "The second quarter game. You go to mark that No. 24!"

Anthony geared up and nodded slightly.He wants to win more than anyone else, and he doesn't care what he has to do to win.

Usually, in people's perception, Carmelo Anthony is a defensive black hole.However, in fact, Anthony, who is 2 meters tall and weighs 03 kilograms, can defend well in terms of hardware.The reason why he doesn't defend well is because he doesn't want to defend!

Anthony's single-defense level is not good, but it is actually average.For details, you can refer to the case of Anthony personally defending Kobe's back in the Western Conference Finals in 10.It can be said that Kobe did not take much advantage in the matchup with Anthony.

However, Anthony basically has no sense of assistance in defense. He often changes leak-proof players, positions are extremely random, and he is not active in retreating. In other words, his defense is too poor, all because of his attitude.

Perhaps, this is because Anthony's physical strength is not as rich as James, Wade and others like perpetual motion machines.If you want to keep the offensive end fully fired, you can't allocate energy to the defensive end.

In Anthony's view, it's not his job to defend such dirty work.What he should do is to score all kinds of difficult points, and then lead the team to victory.

But anyway, Mike Woodson has always believed that as long as Anthony is willing to work hard, he can do a good job of defense.Right now, Anthony is the most suitable player in the Knicks to match up with Paul George.Therefore, Mike Woodson will be very "unbelievable" to give Anthony a defensive task.

But seeing Anthony nodding firmly, Woodson felt relieved a lot.As long as he works hard, as long as he works hard
"At the beginning of the second quarter, we saw that the Knicks were the first to make personnel changes! Coach Mike Woodson brought up JR Smith and Amare Stoudemire who just returned from injury. In this way, Carmelo Anthony can return to the third position! There is no doubt that Coach Woodson needs Anthony to face George!"

Reggie Miller's comments hit the nail on the head, and Woodson's intentions are very obvious.In this regard, Miller deliberately looked around from the commentary table to the bench.

But he saw that Henson was not surprised or flustered by Woodson's adjustment.He just sat there with his legs crossed, his chin resting on one hand, wondering if he had anticipated Woodson's adjustment.

In the first matchup between Anthony and George, they made a successful defense.

This time George caught the ball and shot, but Anthony's running was unexpectedly active, and his height of 2 meters was enough to interfere with George's shot.In this way, George, who performed well in the first quarter, hit the iron as soon as he came up.

But it is a pity that the Knicks did not become safe because of this, because Al Horford grabbed an offensive rebound in the chaotic interior!

This is another important point that Henson has been emphasizing-offensive rebounds!
Although the Knicks now have two [-]-[-] insiders on the field, the current Chandler and Stoudemire are undoubtedly athletes with more fame than strength.

Stoudemire has been plagued by injuries this season and has been reduced to a substitute. Since the "Champion of Boxing" left the Mavericks, he has never had a high-profile performance, and has always been quite satisfactory.

These two guys partnered inside, but it would be better to let Anthony play the fourth position with vitality.Neither Stedmire nor the "Champion" actively blocked the top man, but was blocked by the blocking master Horford, and lost the rebound at the same time!

After Horford grabbed the offensive rebound, he was not in a hurry to attack again, because he knew that Chandler was not a casual challenger at the basket.

The All-Star center calmly hit the ball back into Paul's hands. Paul made a fake shot and then broke through suddenly, catching Kidd, who had bad legs, off guard.

The mid-range jumper hit steadily, and the Pacers took advantage of the second offensive opportunity to expand the point difference to 10 points, double digits!
"What is Spike Lee thinking about? Thinking of a name for Coach Henson's documentary?" Seeing Paul score, Reggie Miller couldn't help teasing.

"Damn it!" Anthony was very angry when he saw that the point difference had come to double digits.This kind of anger will fill him with fighting spirit, but it will also make him lose his mind at the same time.

So this time, the Knicks' offense failed.Anthony didn't strike the iron, he didn't have the opportunity to strike the iron at all.When the impatient Anthony lowered his center of gravity to dribble, Paul George reached out with his long arms and stabbed the basketball in the hands of the "social melon"!

Excellent physical fitness, quick hands.Decisive, calm, calm, not easily fooled, once made up his mind, he will never give up halfway...In just one round, Anthony experienced the power of George.

This newly promoted All-Star is really difficult to deal with.

Anthony made a mistake, and George grabbed the basketball and ran across the court.No one on the Knicks could step back in time, and both Stoudemire and Chandler were past the age at which they could run all over the court and take a big risk.

As a result, Spike Lee could only watch as George dunked with both hands with both strength and height, widening the point difference to 12 points.

Look at the aging Knicks, and then look at the dynamic and talented Pacers. Talent, this damn, enviable drool-worthy talent!
"Do you think that putting Anthony against George can contain him? Mike Woodson thinks really simply. I don't know if Anthony can contain George, but I'm sure George will not make Anthony easier than before."

Henson sat on the bench talking to himself, he was already waiting for the team to open the score.

Seeing this situation, JR Smith stepped forward, ready to share Anthony's scoring pressure.Mike Woodson let JR play at the beginning of the second quarter, also out of this consideration.

But is JR Smith really that good?He was able to score so many points in the rotation time of the first quarter, mainly because Ray Allen, who was somewhat powerless, defended JR.

Henson originally wanted to use Stephenson, a New York street kid, to "entertain" JR during the rotation time of the second quarter, but he didn't expect Woodson to take JR up on his own initiative.

Save yourself trouble now, JR Smith can't play his strength in front of the Pacers' starting lineup with almost no defensive weaknesses.

Sure enough, in the first shot attempt of the second quarter, JR failed to hit.Danny Green was in front of JR from beginning to end, not giving him any space.

He is not afraid of JR's breakthrough, because Green knows that there are two reliable partners behind him, Horford and West.

Stedmire and Tyson Chandler are not the kind of insiders who can open up space, so Horford and West must have one guarding the basket!
This kind of trust in teammates is not something that can be seen in any team.

"What did you arrange during the break just now?" Seeing that the Knicks missed another attack, Spike Lee couldn't sit still.But he couldn't vent his anger on Henson, so he had to vent his anger on Mike Woodson.

Woodson gave Spike Lee a blank look, and the black director made him even more upset.

And a disturbed person cannot make good decisions.

JR made a good shot, and after coming over, the impatient Anthony had just recovered from a round of defense, and then became lazy again.He just wants to attack now, he just wants to score.

After thinking about it for a long time, the result is that George ran away easily through the cover, threw Anthony away, and then made another layup with an understatement.

With a gap of 14 points, the Knicks, third in the Eastern Conference, seemed vulnerable.The second quarter had just begun, and Mike Woodson had to call a timeout again.

Spike Lee buried his head deeply between his hands, recalling every word that bastard Henson Joe said in his mind.

Henson Joe said before the game that this game has entered his track, maybe this time he is not being arrogant, he is... telling the truth!
