Basketball: Serious injury at the start!Turn on hell mode

The head coach of the 76ers, Maurice Cheeks, shook his head helplessly. It is inevitable that there will be some omissions in other places after the heavy siege of Duke.

Now is it time to shift the focus of defense from Duke to the Knicks or continue to bet on the opponent's shooting percentage?At this point he was caught in a dilemma.

But then Thaddeus Young's three-pointer from the 76ers stabilized his restless heart, giving him an idea in his mind.

"As long as the score can be maintained and the score is not widened, the main scoring point of the opponent's substitute is mentioned in the starting lineup. Our substitute has an advantage, and the outcome depends on the rotation."

The situation on the court was similar to what he had imagined. The Knicks shrunk the inside defense to make Brand helpless, and the 76ers' offensive focus shifted from the inside to the outside.

But their three-point shooting rate is not very ideal, even if the 76ers replaced the pitcher, it still feels cold.

On the other hand, the Knicks played wave after wave of small climaxes through tactical cooperation.

First, Crawford slid to the baseline and made a reverse basket after receiving a pass from Duke.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Lian tried the middle distance in the open space, and also hit.

When the 76ers hit the iron with a three-pointer on the last attack in the second quarter, David Lee grabbed the rebound and made a long pass, and Marion dunked with both hands.

Instead, the Knicks ended the second quarter with a 55-54 lead over the 76ers by one point.

Duke was restricted in scoring throughout the first half. He only scored 7 points and 2 rebounds on 7 of 2 shots, but sent 7 assists, successfully connecting the team's offense.

.......................

In the third quarter, they changed sides and fought again.

The Knicks still put Crawford on the starting lineup, and the 76ers' defense is still aimed at Duke.

Under such circumstances, the Knicks' offense became smoother and smoother. Fortunately, the 76ers' outside shooting percentage picked up slightly, and finally stopped the decline.

But with the Knicks taking advantage of the scene, D'Antoni's face is still not very good.

He brought up the strongest scoring point on the bench and still couldn't close the point difference, which made him a little uneasy about the next game.

By the time the rotation came on, the score was 71-68, with the Knicks leading by just 3 points.

And in the duel of the rotation lineup, it was exactly as he imagined, the Knicks seemed to be defeated steadily under the fierce offensive of the 76ers.

Without Crawford, a strong scoring point, the Knicks' bench lineup would not be able to play.

Chris Duhon is good at defense, Korver is just a spot-up shooter, and only Wilson Chandler can score for the team with his individual singles, but it doesn't help.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks instead trailed the 77ers by 80 points 76-3.

In the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, the 76ers continued to pursue the victory.

Louis Williams made a direct three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the left.

Willie Green cut into the penalty area with a screen and dunked after receiving a pass from Reggie Evans.

Immediately afterwards, Louis Williams made a layup and caused a foul, and also made an additional penalty.

On the other hand, the Knicks only relied on Wilson Chandler's one shot to get a three-pointer.

A wave of 2-8 was played in more than 3 minutes, and the point difference came to 8 points in an instant.

This situation forced D'Antoni to call a timeout.

"Duke, I need you to play to connect the team's offense, and launch your personal offense when necessary!"

D'Antoni's words reached Duke's ears, and he knew that he would play the whole game next.

Yu Jia and Zhang Lili, who are far away in China, also began to give advice to the Knicks.

"The biggest problem for the Knicks now is that they don't have scoring continuity on the offensive end. At this time, someone needs to stand up and help the Knicks break the scoring drought."

Zhang Lili talked for a long time and talked a lot of nonsense.

Yu Jia next to him couldn't stand it any longer, so he could only say:

"Let's see what kind of tactical arrangements coach D'Antoni will have. Hey, Duke was replaced in advance. This is not his regular playing time. It seems that D'Antoni has no good way."

"The Knicks must be far inferior to the 76ers in terms of strength, so why can they play back and forth with the 76ers? In the final analysis, the firepower output point from the bench is raised to the starting lineup. Pit, completely opposite to the last game."

"Haha, the 76ers have also made adjustments, and Iguodala is back. It seems that these two people are going to fight from beginning to end today."

.........................

"Andre, do we have such a big hatred?" Duke looked at Iguodala who was close to him, and asked angrily.

"You can't blame me, it was arranged by our coach, I was just implementing his tactics, fxxk, you cheated me again!!!"

As soon as Iguodala spoke, Duke turned around his defense and received a pass from Wilson Chandler to the basket.

Without Brand's restraint, Duke easily broke into the restricted area, leaving only one Speights in front of him.

Speights looked at the menacing Duke, but there was a tinge of excitement in his heart.

"If I can cover him up, then the attention I receive should be greatly improved?"

He has already thought of the headline of the news report after the game: Duke overreached to challenge Speights and suffered a bloody cap!

However, as full as the ideal is, the reality is as skinny as it is.

I saw Duke's explosive ball, which seemed to speed up and hit the basket, but in fact it was false.

When the two were about to have physical contact, Duke used his left foot as a fulcrum, and a 360-degree top turned and directly wiped Speth.

Speth only felt a blur in front of his eyes, Duke had disappeared, and then a "swish" sound came from behind him, and he realized that he had been passed.

What hit him even more was yet to come.

"Come on, you almost stopped me."

Looking at Duke with a serious face, Speights wanted to cry but had no tears.

The situation of catching a turtle in a urn did not appear, but he felt that he was the monkey being played with.

Iguodala, who came belatedly again, glared at the innocent Duke fiercely. He has already suffered from Duke twice today, which made him very upset.

"I can't be careless anymore."

Whether others admit it or not, at least in his heart, Duke has been marked as difficult to defend.

"drop"

At this time, the whistle sounded, and Duke looked up in surprise.

Pause again?

Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks called another timeout immediately after seeing the Duke goal.

"The head coach of the 76ers is very cautious. The Knicks pause as soon as they score. I don't know what adjustments he will make."

"Oh, both sides have replaced their main players. It seems that the final decisive battle is coming early."

After returning from the timeout, the two teams replaced all their main players by coincidence, and the outcome will soon be decided.

Duke looked at the familiar face and couldn't help sighing. After finally scoring two points, he immediately started targeting himself again.

These days, is playing so introverted?
