Chapter 404 The Luxurious Knicks
After beating the Golden State Warriors, the Phoenix Suns flew home to face the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks have made a lot of moves this year. They were originally very promising, but they did not achieve the expected results.

Currently, with a record of 6 wins and 12 losses, they are ranked No.10 in the eastern theater. The new season started with a 5-game losing streak.

Before the game, media reporters were almost one-sidedly optimistic that the Suns could easily beat the Knicks.

The reason why they are so optimistic about the Suns is that the Suns have won 7 consecutive victories, are in full swing, and are sitting at home, taking advantage of the right time, place and people.Second, the Knicks are too disappointing this season.Originally, they could become a powerful team that would shake things up. At worst, they could hit the playoffs, and they would still be in a relatively good position.However, the performance of this Knicks now is surprising, and they have achieved very poor results.

You must know that the salary of the Knicks is No. 1 in the league. During this offseason, the player transfer market has also achieved a lot. The player lineup is very luxurious, and the famous coach and champion coach Larry Brown was invited to coach.

However, the Knicks obviously had a good hand, but they played poorly in the end.

Looking at their lineup, there are starters and substitutes, even if the Suns have the lineup of last season, it is not as good as the current lineup of the Knicks.

On the 1st position, Knicks star Stephen Marbury is in charge. He is nicknamed "Lone Wolf", but he is known as the world's number one guard. Marbury's words are a bit big.

However, the strength is there. A true All-Star point guard can now average 23.1 points and 5.6 assists per game, which is quite strong.

In addition to the star players at the starting point guard, this year's first-round 21st rookie Nate Robinson, nicknamed "Little Potato", is only 175cm tall, and he is still playing in the NBA for the first year, but he is quite capable. Yes, he can still score 9.5 points and 3.5 assists, and can become a bench gangster.

At the 2nd position, the Knicks have Quentin Richardson playing. He was poached from the Suns this year. He is the Suns' in-ball three-pointer.Although his statistics have declined since he joined the Knicks, the problem is not with him. His strength has proven himself, and there is no problem.

There is also a scoring champion Jamal Crawford sitting on the bench, a super sixth man with convulsive temperament.

There may be some problems in defense, but the offensive firepower is rampant, and he is also a superstar of Kobe's level. Although his state is not effective from time to time, with him in charge, the Knicks' offensive firepower is completely fine.

On the 3rd position, Trevor Ariza played. After playing in the NBA for a year, he has grown in speed and sometimes has a strong offense. However, he dares to shoot and has a tough style of play.

The most important thing is that his real excellence is in defense. His body is very violent, his defensive skills and defensive awareness have a good foundation, and he has the potential to become a top wing defender.

In addition to the supernova in the starting lineup, there is also a former superstar Anfernee Hardaway on the bench, a superstar who can force O'Neal away, and can also form a twin star with Kidd.

Of course, his physical fitness has declined seriously due to injuries and age, but if he plays hard for more than 10 minutes, there is still no problem, and the combat power he provides will not be so bad.

At position 4, Channing Frye started the game. He is the No. 8 pick in the first round of this year. He is 211cm tall and a bit underweight. The three-point line can be withdrawn to the outside to attack.

At present, he has played out his potential, averaging 12.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, full of talent.

The Knicks' draft this year can be said to be a bumper harvest. Besides Frye and Nate Robinson, there is also David Lee. Although his pick is a bit low, he has the best performance in the future. star.

Due to playing time issues, his current performance is mediocre, only 5.6 points and 2.3 rebounds, but there is no problem playing as a substitute at all.

You know, they also have Taylor, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, as a power forward.

On the 5th position, the strength of the Knicks is not bad. The player who played was Eddie Curry dug from the Bulls, nicknamed "Little Sea Fish". Not bad position.

However, his defense is a defensive loophole due to weight and mental problems, and his data has dropped a lot. Currently, he can average 14.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

On the bench, there is also the former All-Star insider Antonio Davis. He is a bit old, but he can handle it for a few minutes, or let Frye play the center. The Knicks have various types of insiders. There are all kinds of players, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Just looking at the Knicks' lineup, it is possible to make up two good lineups. After all, their salary is the first in the league, and they didn't come out of thin air.

However, under the coaching of Larry Brown, the Knicks did not rise, but slowly fell. It really makes people wonder why?
At 12:9 p.m. on December 10th, the Phoenix Suns will play against the New York Knicks at the American West Arena.

After a simple appearance, a layup and a warm-up dribble, the starting lineups of both sides lined up and came to the middle circle of the basketball court, ready to start scrambling for the ball.

During the winning streak of the Suns, D'Antoni did not intend to change the formation randomly. The starting five were lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Raja Bell, and small forward Coprine Diaw. , power forward Sean Marion, center Kurt Thomas.

beep! !

A crisp whistle sounded.

As the referee threw the basketball in his hand high into the sky, the game officially began with a scrum.

Curry VS Thomas! !

The two jumped almost at the same time. Curry's height is 213 cm, which is 206 cm taller than Thomas' height of 7 cm. Dial into the hands of Marbury.

The first quarter of the game started, the Knicks got the ball first, and with long legs, Marbury dribbled the ball to the frontcourt unhurriedly. Facing the defense of the active first guard Nash, Marbury was naturally uneasy. convinced.

The top arc of the three-point line, a Buddha-like fake action, after deceiving Nash's defensive center of gravity, the fake shot made a real breakthrough, his body was short, and he exerted force with his feet, accelerating to the ground and entering the three-point line.

Nash did not give an inch, using fast footsteps to move laterally to keep up, trying to block Marbury's breakthrough route with his body.

Malibu is skilled and bold, and he also wants to beat Nash in his heart to prove his strength.

During the march, a step-down dribble shot the basketball from the right side to the left side. After attracting Nash's heavy defense, he turned around and changed direction.

Facing Thomas' supplementary defense, he pulled the ball up, jumped up from the basket, stretched and stretched in the air, and after dodging Marion's block, he hooked with his right hand, and the basketball spun lightly and flew to the basket. The rebound, like having eyes, got into the basket precisely, scored two points, and the score was recorded.

2 to 0! !
Marbury stumbled a little after finishing his shot. Seeing that the basketball was still hit, he immediately turned around and returned to defense. When he came to the middle circle, he threw his fist in celebration.

Off the court, the fans and the audience did not give Marbury the face of the head star who used to sit in the arena. They booed one after another. Obviously, they already belonged to Nash and were conquered by Nash, the son of the wind. "Lone Wolf".

On the commentary stage, Barkley smiled and commented: "After all, Marbury is still very capable. It's not nonsense for him to call himself the world's number one point guard. There is nothing wrong with being number one in the world.

However, Marbury seems to have forgotten the function of the point guard to organize the passing of the ball, and did not do a good job in the most important thing of organization, but is willing to do what the shooting guard should do!

Is this a dog taking a mouse? Meddle in your own business!If he really likes scoring so much, why doesn't he compete with shooting guards? Also, with an average of 25 points per game, it seems that he really can't fight for the scoring champion. "

Kenny Smith nodded, and added: "Marbury's style of play is still too personal, and he can't drive his teammates. Instead, he hurt his teammates' performance because of taking too many shots.

Nash has the opposite style to him, so he can become the commander of the Suns and let the Suns take off.

Marbury was forgotten and replaced by Nash, which proves that the eyes of the fans are clear. As far as a point guard is concerned, it is not enough to have a strong and dazzling score. Look at Nash's performance. A true point guard! ! "

On the court, I only saw Nash dribble to the frontcourt, step down and dribble continuously, forcefully break through Marbury from the middle, and reach the three-point line.

Using Marion's cover, after getting rid of Marbury's defense, he took a step at the free throw line, pulled the ball up, attracted Frye's defense, and made a three-step layup, piercing the entire Knicks' defense line, and then Send the basketball to the sky.

After covering the pick-and-roll, Marion didn't stay in place and wait for the ball, but cut inside.

Jumping up from the basket, the body is very stretched, alley-oop, turned 90 degrees, dunked with both hands behind his back, dunked the basketball into the basket, scored two points, and returned the favor.

2 to 2! !
As soon as the game started, it was a direct confrontation between two different point guard styles, allowing fans and spectators to see a gorgeous offensive feast.

Nash and Marion teamed up to score two points with a wonderful dunk, which stimulated the visual nerves of the fans outside the court. They applauded in unison, like rain hitting plantains, and the cheers were like a storm. It was like rain, overwhelming the sky and raining down.
