NBA: No. 1 Forward Chapter 163

On the day of the game, the Spurs also came to Madison Square Garden in advance for state training.

After the training, the Spurs coach Popovich was also invited by the media for an interview.

Immediately afterwards, his pre-match tainted milk operation came.

When asked about tonight's opponent, the Knicks, Popovich praised:

"They have completed the reconstruction perfectly this season, especially their core players with perfect talents. D'Antoni has brought the best tactics to the Knicks. They have also continued to play wonderful games this season. I believe this year's Knicks will definitely Can appear on the stage of the playoffs."

Popovich's mouth is like Chicago's marinated eggs and Barkley's flying pig - poisonous.

It's just that the latter two are because they are really optimistic about a team and think that the other party has a real hope of winning, and their vision is poisonous.

And Popovich did it on purpose, putting himself in a weak position, elevating his opponent, and letting his opponent relax his vigilance. If you really believe his nonsense, you are basically not far from losing.

Domestically, the Knicks game is also very concerned. The Christmas game between the Knicks and the Heat created the highest ratings in the country at the same time.

This has also made Liantao's reputation in China continue to rise. Not only that, because Liandao's popularity is getting higher and higher, many well-known domestic and international brands want to find Liantao to cooperate with them as endorsements.

Anta's popular products in China make everyone jealous.

At that time, when Anta signed Lian Dao, other domestic sneaker brands also ridiculed Anta as a symbol of being stupid and rich, and in the end it was inevitable that the bamboo basket would be empty.

However, before the signature sneakers were released, Anta has already become popular in China. Not only that, even the newly opened market in the United States has taken shape.

This makes many domestic sneaker brands jealous.

This time, the game between the Knicks and the Spurs was still broadcast live on CCTV 5.

It is not an exaggeration to say that because Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season this season, Yi Jianlian was also on the injured list and did not play, so everyone's attention was also on Lian Dao, especially Lian Dao's handsome appearance, which caused some male compatriots When you choose to watch nba games, you will be influenced by the will of your female compatriots.

Some Kobe fans like to watch the Lakers games, but my girlfriend thinks the Knicks games are more interesting, and Lian Dao is more handsome, so after a good negotiation, I put all the focus on the Knicks games .

Madison Square Garden, today is another game full of fans.

Madison Square Garden rarely has an vacancy rate. Even when the Knicks had the worst record in the past, there were very few vacancy rates. Basically, James Dolan is equivalent to picking up money. It can also be seen from this aspect The strength of New York City.

Tickets for the Knicks are even harder to come by this season.

The warm-up on both sides is over, and the opening ceremony will be held on the spot.

The Spurs' starting lineup took the lead, and Madison Square Garden was booed.

Tony Parker, Keith Boggens, Richard Jefferson, DeJuan Blair, Tim Duncan.

The Knicks came on the stage as the home team, and each player could cause huge cheers. When Lian Dao came on the field, the cheers of the audience reached the maximum, and all the Knicks fans shouted Lian Dao's name.

Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Lian Dao, Millsap, David Lee.

Duncan and David Lee for a jump ball.

Duncan's long arm flicked the ball over David Lee's head into the Spurs' half, and the Spurs took possession.

Although Duncan is no longer a flying devil after a serious injury and getting older, his rich experience makes him feel like a duck to water in the paint.

The Spurs advanced, Duncan stuck David Lee in the low post for the ball, and Parker immediately fed the ball in.

Although David Lee was at a disadvantage against Duncan, David Lee also tried his best to defend, and the confrontation between the two at the basket was also very fierce.

Although Duncan is stronger, David Lee is younger and more flexible. With his flexibility, David Lee constantly interferes with Duncan at the basket.

Duncan is still experienced and can avoid David Lee's interference every time.

Duncan's back attack is very characteristic, with his shoulders sinking, directly touching David Lee's chest, and then attacking inside, and using his elbows to open the way when turning around.

So, don't look at Deng Dadai's harmless expression, but this guy's movements are definitely not that clean. Within the tolerance of the referee, he used some small movements to the extreme.

In fact, this is a characteristic of basketball in this era, and the playoffs will be even more intense.

Then there is the classic turning around and hitting the board into the basket.

This set of moves is used in Duncan's hands in a smooth manner, and scoring goals with the board is also Duncan's signature goal move.

Looking back, Lian Dao caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-pointer from the outside against Richard Jefferson.

You have your Zhang Liangji, I have my wall ladder!

Although Lian Dao's post-up skills are not as good as Duncan's, his three-pointers will definitely give the Spurs a headache.

The Spurs still handed the ball to Duncan. This time the defense against Duncan was replaced by Millsap. David Lee still suffered a bit against Duncan physically.

Millsap is a muscular man, so he is stronger than David Lee in terms of confrontation. Facing Millsap's confrontation, Duncan also changed his strategy, turned around and made three threats, and then hit the board from mid-range.

Millsap is not as tall as Duncan. Although the physical confrontation has improved, the height of the body is somewhat disadvantaged.

For an old fritter like Duncan, adapting to circumstances is his best method.

but…

Lian Dao broke through Richard Jefferson's defense and went straight to the inside. Duncan was also guarding against Lian Dao's attack at the basket at this time.

Seeing Lian Dao's layup, Duncan stepped forward to defend and block the block. Lian Dao pulled the bar to avoid the block and then made a layup.

The Knicks can't guard Tim Duncan on the inside, but the Spurs can't guard Lian Dao on the outside.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were in their own offensive state.

The Spurs are not in a hurry here, or Duncan continues to ask for the ball in the low post.

Parker passed the ball again. This time Chris Duhon double-teamed early. Duncan then passed the ball back to Parker. At this time, Chris Duhon had to give up the double-team. .

After Duncan received the ball, he still turned around and made a mid-range shot. Millsap jumped up directly at this time.

Unexpectedly, this was a fake move by Duncan, collecting the ball and breaking through to the basket.

"Boom!" A dunk was scored.

These two rounds also demonstrated Duncan's mid-range low post singles ability.

The Knicks pushed the ball into the front court again. After Lian Dao received the ball, Richard Jefferson was a little nervous this time. He kept moving his feet to guard against Lian Dao's breakthrough or shot.

However, the crushing of talents cannot be defended by taking precautions in advance. The fastest first step is to start, directly passing Richard Jefferson's defense, and this time the inside line directly double-teams Lian Dao.

Lian Dao was not reckless, turned around and stuffed the ball under the basket, and Millsap dunked the ball after receiving the ball.

This ball barely vented part of the depression when playing against Duncan.

Millsap was also a little mentally unbalanced by Duncan. Without losing his position, he still couldn't stop Duncan's attack with all his strength, which made Millsap a little injured.

This is also the reason why Millsap is young and inexperienced. This situation will not happen to Deng Daidai. Even when he faced the Sharks back then, this guy was blown inside, and he did not have mental problems.

This may also be due to the fact that Deng Dada majored in psychology, but it has to be said that Millsap still has a long way to go in terms of mentality and technology.

Lian Dao is not afraid of opponents double-teaming, he has excellent passing ability, as long as he double-teams ~www.mtlnovel.com~, it means that his teammates will definitely have opportunities.

This is also a bit of a headache for Popovich.

He is not afraid of players like James, because James' shooting is still at a disadvantage, so most of his offenses are breakthrough dunks or layups.

The Spurs are very experienced in defending breakthroughs. They were very good at dealing with James at that time. On the outside, the Spurs let Bruce Bowen stick close to James, and they did not relax.

Once James wants to break into the penalty area, even if he has not started to start, the Spurs will immediately let Duncan or Robert Horry come to double-team, block his forward line, and force James to make a long shot.

It was this move that year, the Spurs directly swept the Cavaliers 4:0, James' outside shooting was very unstable, and under the defense of Bruce Bowen, James' shooting percentage continued to decline.
