NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was a big success, but the game was a big success.

Chapter 120 The youngest 30+20 player in history

“Peja ran from the outside, cut inside and suddenly turned into a reverse run to receive a pass from his teammate, shot from the outside, and hit a three-pointer!”

“This is the Kings under Adelman’s system. Guards, forwards, and centers will all become outlets. To play in the Kings, you need to have a high basketball IQ and good tacit understanding, so that you can adapt to their rhythm.”

After the timeout, the Kings started with a three-pointer, and the MC on the scene was excited.

And his passionate commentary also drove the emotions of the fans on the scene very well, and the stadium erupted in cheers like a mountain torrent and tsunami.

Kings coaching bench.

Adelman clenched his fists and roared directly on the sidelines without restraining his emotions: “Well done Peja, you are the most accurate shooter on the face of the earth!”

When the team was on the rise, the old man, the King, did not hesitate to praise him.

Some words were so corny that the players on the court would be embarrassed!

On the other side.

D’Antoni did not comment on the opponent’s goal this time, but just watched silently.

He did not attack the Knicks players who had just been penetrated by the defense!

The aggressiveness shown by the Kings is what the current Knicks need.

Compared with the outside world’s curiosity about where the Knicks’ winning streak ended, the new Knicks coach is even more curious.

D’Antoni also wants to know the problem of the current Knicks. Long-term victory will only bury the Knicks’ shortcomings and make people unable to know.

And the Kings’ offensive system obviously exposed the Knicks’ shortcomings in the off-ball end!

This kind of eager problem is a great test of the coach’s on-the-spot reaction and the players’ adaptability.

D’Antoni planned to wait for the next game to pause and rearrange the defense. Now he wanted to see how the Knicks players would cooperate with each other.

On the court.

The Kings’ smooth offense did boost morale, but that was not reflected on their defense.

The Knicks’ offense still maintained a strong posture.

Nash saw that Houston wanted to fight back on the offensive end, and made a tactical gesture of a guard three-pointer. After a run without the ball, Houston’s hand felt a little cold, and the basketball collapsed out of the rim.

With previous experience, Chris Webber was more cautious in protecting rebounds.

Not only did he block Kurt Thomas behind him, but he also kept a close eye on Wang Song who was blocking with his teammates.

In terms of tonnage, Wang Song has no advantage over Brad Miller.

But Wang Song’s bottomless lower limb strength and high mobility made it difficult for the big white bear to completely block the guy behind him, so in the second half of the game, the Kings adopted a double-team strategy more, with two people guarding Wang Song.

But the success rate of this plan is not high.

Wang Song’s high mobility and one-on-one positioning awareness always allow him to seize the initiative, especially his rebounding awareness, and his judgment of the rebounding point is absolutely top-notch.

Even if the Kings’ twin towers can block him behind, they can’t stop him from touching the rebound first and passing it to his teammates.

This round is a classic case. At the moment Brad Miller lost his position, Webber directly gave up Kurt and blocked in front of Wang Song, but the ball was still passed to Kurt to complete the tip-in.

This is why the Knicks can still lead for three full quarters despite their positional warfare being far worse than the Kings.

They completely beat the Kings in rebounding and second offense!

Webber and Miller looked a little depressed after failing to defend the ball, but they soon cheered up again under the encouragement of Adelman.

They have begun to accept the fact that they can’t grab rebounds from this Knicks rookie, but even so, the Kings still have hope of winning.

As long as they keep their firepower on the offensive end, the score will not be widened.

Looking back, the Kings had the ball, and Webber responded with a mid-range shot from the left bottom corner.

In the first half of the final quarter, the scores of the two teams rose alternately, and there was no sign of a gap.

Adelman, who was seeking stability, called a timeout and re-emphasized the protection of rebounds to the Kings players.

On the Knicks side.

D’Antoni took this opportunity to rearrange the defense, switching from man-to-man defense to zone defense, and focusing the perimeter defense on Peja.

“Wang, you will need to work hard to rotate and make up for the defense next!”

Zone defense attaches great importance to the lateral movement ability and awareness of the center. Wang Song can be said to be an inside player who perfectly fits this system. This is why D’Antoni dared to change the defense system in the final quarter.

Peja has been ready for the whole game.

, he didn’t believe that he could maintain that accuracy by focusing on the opponent in the next time.

This is indeed the case.

In the final quarter, under the pressure of Wang Song’s defense, Peja’s shooting time became shorter and his accuracy began to decline. Without Peja’s three-point firepower support, the offensive space of the entire Kings team was compressed.

The Kings didn’t have time to solve the problem of rebound protection, and the offensive end was the first to be silent.

The Knicks also took this opportunity to blow the horn of counterattack in one go. With enough offensive rebounds, Houston’s touch was finally fed out. Houston, who found his touch, made two consecutive three-pointers plus Nash’s small floater to help the Knicks establish an advantage.

In the final moments, Wang Song’s mid-range and hook shots under the basket hit steadily, killing the Kings’ hope of a Jedi counterattack.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and this highly anticipated strong duel ended. The Knicks defeated the Kings 108:100 and won 21 consecutive victories.

Although they lost the game, the Kings’ technical statistics were very dazzling.

Peja played for 42 minutes and scored a game-high 34 points, including 9 three-pointers, and Chris Webber also scored a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds under the Princeton system.

Apart from the two of them, no Kings player scored in double digits.

Compared with the Kings, the Knicks, who won the victory, seemed much more balanced.

Wang Song played for 35 minutes and scored a team-high 32 points. What’s more exaggerated is that he scored a new personal rebounding record, with 20 rebounds in the game.

And this terrifying data of 32 points and 20 rebounds not only refreshed Wang Song’s personal rebounding record, but also directly made Wang Song the youngest 30+20 man in history after the game.

All this has to be “thanked” to the cold touch of the Knicks’ outside line today. Houston, who played mediocrely in the first three quarters, scored 17 points with 7 of 18 shots. The son of the wind, Nash, may have released his energy against the Mavericks. In this game, Nash, who had little desire to attack, scored 13 points and 13 assists.

Post-match interview.

As the coach who won the game, D’Antoni was surrounded by the Saracao media.

The away media tried their best to throw all kinds of tricky questions at D’Antoni’s face. They tried to make the Knicks coach embarrassed and regain some face after the game.

But D’Antoni seemed to be well prepared and responded to these questions calmly.
