Chapter 84 Uncomfortable Game Rhythm
Deron has a lot of hostility, but he has been playing according to tactics and has been firmly controlling the rhythm of the game, so Coach Sloan is very satisfied with his performance on the court, so he yells less often.

Perhaps because of this, plus bullying Du Hong made him feel the fun of beating Paul, so gradually, Deron entered a more unpretentious state.

Then throughout the first half of the third quarter, the Jazz gradually gained a certain lead.

Although not much, only 3 points.

The Jazz is the pick-and-roll, which is extremely simple, but extremely practical. Then the two pick-and-roll masters of teammates, Boozer and Okur, have seen their scores rise gradually, and Deron's assists have also quickly reached double figures.

On the other hand, the Knicks' tactics froze.

In the previous season, D'Antoni did not create a mature tactical system for the New York Knicks.

The so-called run and gun, that is, the 7-second offensive tactic, relies too much on a point guard with corresponding strength, so in the hands of D'Antoni, it is easy for the point guard to hit statistics.

But defenders who are not good at organizing are almost useless.

In the 08-09 season, the problem facing the Knicks was that there was no good organizer in the team, so after the start of the season with a poor record, they had to choose to play poorly again.

Of course, it's actually really bad.

So the Knicks, who had just introduced Lu Ming as a core point guard, did not form one or two sets of mature and effective positional warfare in just one or two months.

Once faced with a team like the Jazz, which has a strict offense and a strict defense, although their defense is at the lower level of the league, their defensive style with elbows flying all over the sky makes Lu Ming very uncomfortable.

To be honest, no one is not worried about being elbowed.

Or there will be no Harden who opened Sharingan after being almost killed by the first elbow, leading a trend called eye defense.

In addition, when the Knicks can't run and bomb and fall into a positional battle, when an immature pick-and-roll team meets a mature pick-and-roll team, the result can be imagined.

That is to keep paying tuition.

Although halfway through the three quarters, the Knicks were still only 3 points behind the Jazz temporarily by relying on Lu Ming and David Lee's stable mid-range after singles, and Gallinari's sudden one or two three-pointers.

But Lu Ming's own stats don't look so good anymore.

compared to previous games.

18 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. In the first 6 minutes of the third quarter, Lu Ming did not send out an assist. Instead, facing the tough defense of Wesley Matthews, who made his debut after halftime, and Deron's decisive lightning attack, he reaped 3 turnovers.

"Haha, as I said, a softie like him can only play basketball in this era. A few years ago, he wouldn't even be able to sit at the drinking fountain!" A star of the tough faction watched the game and tweeted happily.

"Perhaps after this game, other teams should do a little research on how to defend New York's No. 8 rookie. We only need a tough defender at No. 2!" Someone replied positively.

Looking at the name, he is also a famous figure of the tough faction.

"D'Antoni's coaching staff, maybe they should start thinking about how to avoid their No. 8 being locked up by the opponent's defensive player with their bodies."

"The existence of Chris Duhon makes Lu's position very awkward. I think D'Antoni should make adjustments quickly so that Lu can really play the position of point guard, instead of the current situation where he is a shooting guard and a point guard for a while." Some people suggested rationally.

"In the NBA, dual-capable means dual-incapable! Look at the number 30 of the Warriors. I really don't know what position he plays in every game! After 5 games, he averaged 9.4 points and 5.8 assists per game. He is a shooting guard. He didn't even score 10 points in the first game. It doesn't look like it! Point guard, 5.8 assists, obviously not. Oh, poor Curry!" Someone tilted the building.

"Yes! Golden State's No. 7 rookie and New York's No. 8 rookie are both too handsome. Maybe they should go to Los Angeles together. Maybe they have a chance to leave their handprints there." Someone came down the stairs. I don't know if it was a manager from the entertainment industry.

Although it was hard, Du Hong has been persevering.

Perhaps because of a suggestion on Twitter, D'Antoni called a timeout halfway through the third quarter, replaced Chris Duhon, who was in an awkward position on the court, and replaced Wilson Chandler at shooting guard, allowing Lu Ming to return to the point guard position.

Then he replaced Milicic with Earl Baron. The latter was in the matchup with Okur, especially in defending the pick-and-roll of the opponent's perimeter and center.

The game continues.

Lu Ming, who returned to the organization side, faced Delong who was half a head lower than himself. Although the organization was still not smooth, it was much better after all.

Moreover, on the defensive end, Delong couldn't use his physical advantage to beat Lu Ming like he bullied Du Hong.

But he was self-taught, unlike his predecessor Stockton, who started to defend Lu Ming with trash talk at the end of the third quarter.

"Hey, Xiao Wang from New York, 0 assists in a single quarter, is this the so-called playmaker?"

"Oh, poor little boy, I just touched you lightly, are you going to cry?"

"Would you like me to teach you how to run the pick-and-roll?"

"Hey, listen, Knicks guys, you should get rid of this guy who can't play point guard!"

"..."

On the court, Deron's trash talk quickly got into double figures.

On the other hand, Lu Ming forgot to use nuclear weapons this time, and just organized the attack silently, opening up space for his teammates, covering, or getting in position to grab rebounds.

It seems that every sentence has been said, and there is no way to refute it.

But Delong felt very annoyed, the feeling of punching cotton without any change of mood when you said something, and the other party didn't talk back.

For a moment, he felt as if he was facing Stockton in Utah's black and white.

Suddenly a little nervous.

He thought of what trash talker Gary Payton said of Stockton, "I used to hate John Stockton because he never talked to me. He would treat you like a zombie and kill you."

It doesn't feel good.

But before his feeling came true, with only 2 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, Lu Ming was elbowed by Boozer when he was stuck under the basket on the defensive end.

Not a show.

Nosebleeds came out.

The referee decisively called an offensive foul by the Jazz.

"NO! NO! I didn't foul!"

Boozer felt that he was wronged, and he swore that he absolutely didn't use any force, he just took advantage of the trend, how could he elbow that annoyingly handsome face by such a coincidence.

The game was suspended, and Lu Ming was taken off the court to deal with it.

Fortunately, after the examination, only the nose was hit, and the bridge of the nose was not broken. The bleeding stopped and the blow could continue.

After the replay, the referee also believed that Boozer was not intentional, and there was no additional technical foul or malicious foul.

But the fans don't do it, they think that No. 5 doesn't look like a good person at first glance, he is simply a murderer, and should be expelled from the NBA arena forever!
