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

Back from the timeout, the Knicks have the ball.

"Oh, Roy is here to defend Duke. Is a wonderful show about to be staged?"

Barkley instantly regained his spirits.

Although the two faced each other before, it was just a fast break with limited gold content, far inferior to a one-on-one in a positional battle.

Duke's face was serious, and Roy's defense had to be treated with caution.

He made a triple threat. Seeing that Roy did not make any defensive movements, he simply gave up these technical moves and accelerated to kill to the right.

"boom!"

Roy was about to follow, but found himself hitting a wall.

It turned out that Ah Lian came up to cover him.

Duke, who bypassed Roy, faced Aldridge, which was much easier.

I saw his simple acceleration, so that Aldridge had to move his feet quickly and retreat.

His slow pace allowed Duke to see more options. He made a sudden stop, then retreated, and a large open space appeared in front of him.

Collect the ball, take off, shoot, three steps in one go!

"Shh!"

The basketball obediently fell into the basket.

"It's a beautiful step-back shot. The whole movement is smooth and smooth. Duke's skills are considered top-level among guards."

Comments from Smith.

But Barkley was somewhat dissatisfied with Duke's performance.

"Pretty is beautiful, but it didn't hit Roy's head. I thought he would have a one-on-one duel with Roy!"

Just as the two were commenting, the Blazers' offense also hit the Knicks' hinterland.

This time the protagonist is not Roy, but Aldridge who has been shot in the face.

Aldridge ran to the free-throw line after coming up and screened, and there was no defender around.

Steve Blake saw this, too, and he did his job as a point guard, passing the ball just in time.

Aldridge didn't waste this opportunity either, firing the shell at a fixed point and hitting it hollow.

After scoring the goal, Roy landed next to Duke immediately, his body clinging to the opponent, and a pair of long arms covering his side.

The Knicks' fast break was resolved into invisible in this way.

D'Antoni took all this into his eyes, and his heart was very gloomy, but there was nothing he could do.

The entire Knicks starting lineup only has Duke as a ball-holding point. Once Duke is heavily guarded by the opponent, it is easy for the Knicks to fail to deploy their tactics.

On the Knicks bench, there are only two people who can hold the ball stably, one is Crawford and the other is Chris Duhon.

Needless to say, Crawford is far more valuable as a sixth man than a starter.

Chris Duhon's position is the point guard, and he completely overlaps with Duke. A point guard who doesn't hold the ball?Um?It seems that it is not impossible.

D'Antoni seems to have discovered a new continent.

On the court, the Knicks couldn't run and bomb, and could only fall into positional warfare.

Duke still wants to play the tactics just now. Roy is very experienced this time, and he is no longer obsessed with entanglement with the UAE. After being delayed, he chose to leave the opponent as soon as possible.

Duke had just faced Aldridge, and before he could make a move, Roy greeted him from the side again.

"It's very persistent!"

He secretly thought.

Opportunities are created where there are no opportunities.

Taking advantage of the two men switching defenses and getting a foothold, Duke hit back and passed to Alian at the free throw line.

Ah Lian did the opposite and broke through in the direction Aldridge was running towards.

And Aldridge couldn't stop the car, so he could only watch Ah Lian go away.

Oden also wanted to give the rookie of the same year a big shot, so he took a step forward, and a momentum emerged spontaneously.

But Ah Lian had no intention of entangled with him at all, and simply handed the ball to David Lee who had been waiting under the basket for a long time.

Naturally, David Lee would not let go of this opportunity to eat cakes, and he opened his personal scoring account with a light layup.

The offensive end points of the two teams have gradually shifted from star players to role players.

Duke and Roy seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they both acted as green leaves.

The two sides also played very fiercely, and the score continued to rise.

D'Antoni frowned, he was thinking about the possibility of putting Chris Duhon in the starting lineup.

In deep thought, he didn't seem to care about the situation on the field at all.

But things have proved that he has such confidence.

When the game time entered the 9th minute, the two sides began to change into a rotation lineup.

As soon as the rotation lineup came on the field, the two teams that were originally evenly matched immediately showed a huge gap.

The Blazers' rotation simply couldn't withstand the Knicks' offensive firepower.

Look at their rotation, most of them can't even name Duke.

The Knicks' luxurious bench lineup made Blazers coach Nate McMillan drool, wondering why he didn't have this good luck.

The point difference also began to widen at this time. By the time Nate McMillan sent Roy to save the field in the first 2 minutes of the second quarter, the Knicks had already led the Blazers by 6 points.

The most important thing is that the Knicks' main players are still resting quietly off the court to recover their strength.

As soon as Roy came on the court, it worked immediately. His bursts of inside and outside shots improved the Blazers' offensive efficiency by at least a notch.

The Blazers also stabilized the situation so that the Knicks would not widen the gap too much.

But the good times didn't last long. After 3 minutes, the Knicks' main force returned to the court.

The energetic main lineup showed strong offensive firepower.

Duke was very active when he came on the court, even if the defender was Roy.

He first forcibly broke through Roy's defense line, attracted Marion who double-teamed and made a wonderful pass at the top of the arc. Marion raised the knife and hit a three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, the same trick was used to reach the inside, but this time it was a fake fax shot, and the basketball was sent to the basket with a low layup.

In just a few minutes, his presence on the offensive end completely overwhelmed Roy.

And Roy didn't care at all, and he still did a good job in series on the offensive end.

The team's offense was also sorted out very smoothly by him, and the goals of Aldridge and Blake also allowed the Blazers to take a long breath.

The game also ended the first half of the competition in this situation.

62-57

The Knicks in the away game entered the intermission with a 5-point lead over the Blazers.

"The starting lineups of the two sides are evenly matched, but in the rotation lineup, the Blazers are blown out."

"If the Blazers still can't make changes in the second half, then the Knicks have a high probability of winning this game."

Because he didn't see the confrontation he imagined, Barkley's analysis was also a little low.
