King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 145 The Incompatible Big Three

Naturally, the Knicks will not be reconciled to failure. The return of Billups and Stoudemar in the second quarter also delayed the Knicks' continued decline, but Cousins ​​and Iguodala are not the same for the Kings. And yes, especially Iguodala began to ravage the weak Brewer after Anthony left the court. In just one round, D'Antoni gave up and let Brewer continue to defend Igo on the court. The idea of ​​Dala's mission, Brewer on the court was directly rushed into the inside by Iguodala's crushing breakthrough and scored a 2+1.

D'Antoni was forced to use Bill Walker, a stronger forward and guard swingman. When He Yixiang was not on the court, he was the king's first ball-handling point and organization point on the court. At this time, Anthony had just played the first quarter. , no one can consume enough energy from this guy on the offensive end.As a head coach who once led the Suns to play a 7-second storm, he naturally understands the importance of seeing the opponent's main organizational points.Walker is stronger and tougher than Brewer defensively.

But the all-round gap of other substitutes made the Knicks a little helpless. Humphries almost made Landry play the effect of an All-Star player. Landry seemed to vent all the anger of being dominated by Boozer in the last game On him, holding the ball at the top of the arc and rushing directly, Humphries' speed completely made Landry feel no pressure at all. Landry, who broke into the penalty area, had already thrown off Humphries, and Sta Dameier was limited by Cousins, who was staring at him behind him. After a moment of hesitation, Landry had already got up and dunked successfully.

The Kings are gradually taking the lead step by step in the hands of the Knicks. The point difference between the two sides has been stretched to 14 points at the end of halftime. The Kings lead 58:44. When Spike Lee watched the team fall behind step by step It was extremely painful in his heart, but he couldn't stand up and cheer for the team loudly.At this time, there were discussions from Kings fans behind him.

"I have said long ago that the Knicks are not good. Speaking of the Big Three, but in fact they are a combination that does not match at all. I am not optimistic about their chemical reaction."

This sentence immediately attracted Spike Lee, who was still worried about the team, and he couldn't help turning his head and asking: "Why do you say that? I think the Big Three should be very strong. There are two All-Star starters this year and a former Finals MVP."

The middle-aged caucasian who was talking behind him saw Spike Lee. As a King Madman fan, he naturally knew the story between He Yixiang and Spike Lee, but he saw Spike Lee whose eyes were full of curiosity. , also patiently answered him this doubt: "It is undeniable that they are very strong. As you said, they are a combination of two All-Star starters and an FMVP. This combination sounds better than our three. The giants are obviously stronger! We are paired with two rookies and a team boss who led the team and failed to make the playoffs."

After a slight pause, looking at the impatient director in front of him, he continued to explain his reasons: "Billups and Anthony definitely match each other, otherwise the Nuggets would not have played in 09." The tacit understanding and cooperation between the two of them are naturally not much to say, but Billups is undoubtedly a master of positional warfare. Starting from the Pistons, he is the best positional warfare in the entire league. Top point guards, in terms of field control ability, I don't think He has reached the level of Billups now, but there is no doubt that they don't match Stoudemire. Stoudemire has long been used to it He’s a quick offense, transition, even with the Knicks. So, it’s simple, they’re not a good fit.”

"Then there is no way? Superstars will find their own rhythm to match together. They will all rationally change their play styles and work together with each other." Spike Lee thought it made sense, and he was indeed doing it. After this transaction, Stoudemar's data also showed a significant decline. After 9 consecutive 30+ games before the All-Star Game, he hadn't scored 30+ points until the transaction was completed, but he said But can not admit defeat.

The White Kings fans didn't care about Spike Lee's stubbornness, he just nodded in agreement: "Indeed, every superstar has a strong ability to adapt, and they will adapt to each other to become a great combination, but this matter is not It will happen today, it will not happen this season, Stoudemire will continue his sluggish play!"

The next second half of the game also verified this statement. Every time Stoudemire ran quickly across the half, he found that Billups was slowly carrying the ball across the half. I can't run anymore.After Stoudemire fell into the positional battle, the pick-and-roll tactics King also chose to double-team him, and the singles with the ball were almost the task of Anthony. In the three quarters, he only got 34 offensive opportunities, of which two The second time was his opportunity to fight for his offensive rebounds, which made him, who was originally the boss of the Knicks, feel very disappointed now, and his enthusiasm on the defensive end was obviously not enough. Divine power.

Originally, the Knicks had a gap on the bench, and Stoudemire did not perform well. Anthony contributed a good first half under Iguodala's defense and gradually misfired in the second half due to physical problems. Billups Never a player with explosive scoring ability, in the end the Knicks Big Three could only regretfully lose to Sacramento.

And the Knicks' statistics are just like what the white fan said. The two new aids performed well. Billups scored 17 points and 8 assists, and Anthony scored a game-high 32 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Lost with a score of 97:111.Stoudemar's 16 points and 10 rebounds are considered good for other players, but they are definitely not good for this All-Star starter.

Cousins, who was still suppressed by him in the first match this season, suppressed him this time, scoring 22 points and 13 rebounds with 20+10 data, and also sent him twice on the defensive end Cover.

At the end of the game, Spike Lee was still sitting on the sidelines in a daze, and the Kings jersey on his body was a bit dazzling. After the explanations from the Kings fans at the beginning and the presentation of this game, did we really form an incompatible Big Three? ?If this season's gamble fails, what about the two big contracts of Anthony and Stoudemire?Spike Lee, who originally felt that the team was rebuilding well at the beginning of the season, only felt a burst of coolness at this time.
