Chapter 232 The Christmas Battle in the Afternoon (1)

Madison Square Garden

"Long time no see." Facing Courtney Lee, a hug is enough to explain the joy of reunion after a long absence.

"Although it's a little late, I still wish you a happy birthday. I've prepared the presents. I'll come over after the game." It's been a long time since I saw you, and Courtney Lee didn't forget Yang's birthday.

"Joe and McConnell would also like to see you." The team's personnel changes left McConnell with only three people.

"Assemble, I should go."

"Why did you arrange me to broadcast the game in the afternoon? I really want to sleep." TNT appeared in the Philadelphia game for a long time, instead of ESPN, which has always appeared.

"It doesn't matter if you don't broadcast live, it's not my salary anyway."

"Then don't sleep anymore, let's take a look at the two sides facing each other."

"New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers"

"The New York Knicks are currently 14 wins and 18 losses, ranking 11th in the Eastern Conference. They have won 7 goals in the last 5 games, and finally broke away from the bottom two in the Eastern Conference."

"The team's second scorer, Hardaway Jr., continued to be absent due to the stress reaction of his left leg. This is the eighth game he has missed."

“相对于纽约尼克斯的挣扎，26胜6负的东部第一费城76人则是顺利的许多，他们在12月的10场比赛里
Except for a sleepwalking game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

It was only at home that they lost to Anunobi's superb three-pointer
The score of 8 wins and 2 losses puts James Harden and Chris Paul firmly in the league's second position. "

"The starters of the two teams are out."

Jarrett Jack, Courtney Lee, Lance Thomas, Porzingis, Kanter
Brogdon, Justin Holiday, Tatum, Young, Embiid

The reason why Richardson is not in the starting lineup is naturally due to injury. He played against the Bulls on December 12th.
right quadriceps contusion
According to inspection, he will miss at least two weeks of competition.

Of course, there is still good news for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Siakam, who has been injured for a long time, is back.

"Joe, is your back uncomfortable?" Embiid kept touching his back, which had to draw Yang's attention.

"Let's go to the team doctor. If it doesn't work, we won't fight this time." Although the Christmas game attracted the attention of the media and audience, it's not good to be injured.
When you feel uncomfortable, you have to rest when you should rest.

"Embiid can't play this game." The TNT live room received the news that Embiid was confirmed to be absent
Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Keith Pompey: Embiid will miss this game due to back tension

The starting position is played by Domantas Sabonis.

Sabonis Jr. and Porgy Jins stood in the middle circle
jump ball failed
Facing the unicorn Porzingis, Sabonis Jr. can't take advantage of it.

Catch the ball, fast fake cut

{Three points? }

"Do you really think I'm a 19-year-old kid?" Porzingis quickly cut in with a shot-threatening fake, which certainly gave him a big advantage

but
Yang, who is excellent in body turning and lateral footsteps,

not enough
He quickly returned to the defensive position

hand the ball to jack

Facing a situation where he can't make a strong shot and can't make a strong shot, Porzingis can only choose to hand over the ball
"Clang" Jack failed to attack Little Sabonis, who was unable to attack.

Counterattack
"You push"

Tatum, who got the rebound, wanted to pass the ball, but Monty Williams dissuaded the idea and let him advance
three points or two points
do i go to the basket

Tatum, who was thinking quickly through his mind, didn't know how to make this decision for a while

"I'm here." When he didn't know how to make a decision, Yang's voice was obviously a life-saving straw.

45-degree fast break ultra-long three-pointer

Compared with not sure what to do with Tatum, Young is not polite at all.

thrown super far
"Boom~~~boom~~~boom~~~The beautiful fast-break three-pointer comes from Young's super long-range shooting." Unlike the DJ who dutifully exchanged his own players at 63 minutes, this new DJ did not lower the volume according to common sense.

"Mistake, Porzingis barely passed the ball, and Lance Thomas didn't react at all." Porzingis' face-to-face breakthrough failed again. In order to protect the ball from being lost, he passed the pass directly out of bounds.

positional warfare

The 76ers did not use the usual starting point point guard Brogdon, but Sabonis Jr. played center to support

Lifting his weight, throwing his arms out to interfere with the ball handler's passing lanes, Kante did everything he could, just
The pass was still beautifully completed, and it still allowed Young, who cut out from the weak side, to get the ball. There is no need to say more about the next step.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Da, who completed the ups and downs of the knife, scored the second three-pointer of the game.

{To solve the problem, the first thing to get points}
"Covering" Knicks point guard Jack just after halftime, chose to let Porzingis cover
round cover

The reason why Brogdon chose to go around the screen is also very simple. After all, Jack has been coming for a long time recently.

Three points are hovering around 30%.

"Oops, it's a false screen." Porzingis, who wiped away, didn't give Brogdon a chance to go around the screen.

three-pointer

"Shuh" after making a three-pointer, Yang also knew that the ball was almost inseparable.

The Knicks finally opened after just over a minute into the game

pick and roll

After a fast-break 76-pointer on the first possession and a simple cut-out on the second, the Philadelphia [-]ers began the pick-and-roll that a champion coach least liked.

"It's been a long time, this is the tactic." Facing Yang who was standing under the basket and running out, Courtney Lee, who helped Lance Thomas take over, desperately grabbed the position in front of him.
brake
"boom"

Kanter, who is not good at defensive habits, directly ran into the back screen. Courtney Lee, who has good defensive experience and habits
Because I was concerned about the first two three-pointers

There is no extra energy to share the pressure on Kanter.

into the basket
Sabonis Jr. did not choose to cut in, but chose to shoot outside

Create space for Brogdon's drive to the basket.

"It's not too late." Kanter, who was delayed for a while, still wanted to block Brogdon's breakthrough layup.

"di"

"No. 00, defensive goaltending, New York Knicks possession."

3:8
"Mistake, Jack's passing route was completely guessed by Justin Holiday."

"A mistake, Justin Holiday lost the ball he got."

The fists were superimposed, and the Knicks coach Hornacek on the sidelines gave Jack a tactical signal.

high pick and roll
After the pick-and-roll with Porzingis, Jack chose Kanter as the screener

Kanter started in a proper manner and went down
Porzingis back screen
The Knicks used the same tactics as the 76ers
Porgijins quickly bounces to the three-point line after blocking Sabonis Jr.
Young, who had learned a lesson in the false screen, did not relax his grip on Porzingis at all.

deep into the basket
Jack knows that he is not the main attacker, so he must fully attract the young people's attention

"You fell for it, young man." Although Jack was an attacking defender, he didn't feel uncomfortable passing the ball to the player who was running down.

"bang"

5:8
Since there is no need to adjust, Kanter's dunk has become a logical result.
