basketball purple front

Chapter 523
44-22, the Lakers trailed by 22 points.

With this super leading advantage, whether it is the audience in the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they all feel that the Lakers are gone.

Can't win.

Can't make it to the playoffs.

Only the eyes of No. 24 and No. 29 still had a strong desire to fight.

"Wow~ Carmelo should be playing singles, a beautiful pick-and-roll cut, and then it should be one-on-one!" New York Knicks commentator "Famous Talk" Mike Brin said: "Do you think Ci Shiping How likely is it to defend Carmelo? Walter?" Another on-site commentator of the Knicks is the famous Knicks star, Tang Qian's "old acquaintance" Walter Frazier.Fraser said: "Less than 20%. Because this season, Ci Shiping's defensive skills are obviously not as good as before, and his hands and feet are getting slower and slower. Although his strength is still good, he wants to defend Kaka, who is in excellent form this season. Melo, that's not realistic."

"That's right, Carmelo can make full use of his footsteps and breakthroughs against the slow-moving Metta World Peace! Come on, CA, let's show it off!" Mike Breen's commentary style should also be unique in the NBA. Speaking of which, if the Knicks don't have a live game, he will go to ESPN as a guest host.Except for the deceased Chick Hearn of the Lakers, he should now be one of the most powerful commentators in the NBA.

"ah~ha~ Let's take a look at Carmelo's three-point threat, it's really standard and the same as a textbook, a tentative step, ha~, Ci Shiping has been shaken~ It's extremely smooth, one-on-one kindness Shiping is no longer the Artest he was back then!"

That's right, Ci Shiping is not only not as good as the "Artest version" in his peak period, but even because of his excessive weight, he was knocked down with a "click", and then he didn't get up for a long time.The pick-and-roll outside cut, commonly known as the pick-and-roll clearance, is to use the big man to come out to pick and roll, and then call out the opponent's inside line, so that the ball holder can have enough space to go one-on-one.

Otherwise, once he rushes to the inside and has a big man to defend, even Jordan will have a drop in hits.

The main function of the pick-and-roll cut-out in this Knicks team is to divert the tiger away from the mountain and empty the opponent's inside line. After all, Anthony's singles ability this season has reached the peak of his career. Mike Woodson's doing this can be regarded as "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude"" Adapt measures to local conditions".At least what he did in Atlanta was hardly used in New York.

Poor Mercy Shiping, once a generation of defensive champions, won the best defensive player at his peak, before Leonard, in 15 years, he was the only outside DPOY.With the critical eyes of that era, Ci Shiping can get this award, which shows his cruelty.How brutal?Hey, let me tell you a scary statistic, that year he was able to suppress the opponent's scoring average below 8.1 points!Yes, you read it right, you didn't look at the flowers, it was either 18.1 points or 8.1 points!In the first round of the playoffs that year, Paul Pierce got the worst playoff data of his career, 20.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 6.3 turnovers!The hit rate is even worse, 34.2%!Therefore, it is absolutely indisputable that Ci Shiping was the strongest perimeter defensive player under the handchec rule in his peak period.Peyton and Jordan are inferior to him in this aspect. Their strong body against defense is really suitable for Ci Shiping at his peak!The old fans who have watched the 03-04 season must be deeply impressed. This guy is simply the nightmare of any outside attacker!Why didn't he get this award later?Because the league revised the defensive rules in the next season and banned handchec, the strongest defensive weapon of Ci Shiping or Artest was greatly restricted, and the strongest defensive monster on the outside could only stay in the into the memories of the fans.

It's a pity that time makes people grow old. The current Ci Shiping has long since withdrawn from the ranks of the defensive gates, and instead has faintly become a "defense loophole". This cannot but be embarrassing.

Don't look at how easily Anthony has torn each other apart in singles with Ci Shiping, but how many people know that in the 03-04 season, that is, the year Ci Shiping won the DPOY, "Xiaomengxin" Anthony's career first What kind of data did you get when you encountered the latter once?Hehehehe, 13 of 1 shots, one of the lowest shooting percentages in his career, 7.7%, only scored 2 points and 1 steal, and the rest of the data were all zero!You must know that Anthony averaged 21+ points per game that year, not like a rookie at all, but Ci Shiping taught him a vivid lesson.It made him understand for the first time that in the professional basketball court, there are men who defend so tough, and beasts who defend such perverted!

Artest?Mercy Shiping?Meta Walter Pease?You are old, and you can no longer pose any threat to me!

Let's see how I dunk this ball!

Just when Anthony was about to wash the basket, a big yellow palm flew out from the air and said, "Did you forget? I'm not allowed to fly here!"

Slap~ Tang Qian blocked Anthony's dunk with a slap. It was clean and neat, and there was no fault at all!
"Oh~No~ Carmelo's dunk was blocked by No. 29 of the Lakers. Although I am a die-hard supporter of the Knicks, I have to admit that this Eastern center's block is very simple and clean. , I can’t blame anything!” Mike Brin finished speaking and said: “Walter, what do you think of him?” Walter Fraser frowned and said: “Well, I don’t know why, I don’t seem to like him very much feeling, although the cap is indeed clean and beautiful."

"I don't like him very much either. I hope that in the next round, Carmelo can find his way back~" Mike Brin said.

Gasol received Kobe's assists and made a strong inside attack, 44-24, 20 points behind his opponent.

Here the Lakers requested a timeout, because the team's small forward Ci Shiping fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Gary Vitti ran over and took a look, then shook his head and said, "Get on the stretcher, Mehta, you must have injured your ankle ligament, let's go back to the locker room and check in detail." Ci Shiping's expression was painful, but the tone contained , as if there was some relief: "I see, Gary, take me away."

"What don't you want to say to your teammates?" Gary Vitti said.

Ci Shiping shook his head, because he also knew that his degeneration was extremely obvious, compared to the beginning of this season, he was incomparable.In terms of physical reserves, he is the first to be exhausted among the five starters of the Lakers.

Therefore, in his recent games, the defensive end has been "invisible", without any sense of presence.

You must know that he is a No. 3 player who is famous for his defense. Now he can't make any contribution on the defensive end. Even if he can score a few goals on the offensive end, what's the point?Carmelo Anthony's passing goal hurt Ci Shiping's self-esteem even more. Although he is usually joking and joking, he seems heartless, but he still has glory on the court.

Suddenly, Ci Shiping had an idea of ​​wanting to retire.

Although he is actually not that old, only a little more than half a year older than Gasol, but if he degenerates, he degenerates. Not everyone is Kobe, James and Jordan.There are many basketball players who degenerate once they are over 30 years old, and Ci Shiping is just one of them.

In the end, he didn't say much, just covered his face with a white towel, and was carried into the player tunnel by the Lakers' medical team.

The Lakers replaced veteran Antawn Jamison and the game continued.

It seems that Jamison's firepower is much stronger than that of Ci Shiping, but the current Lakers lineup on the court does not lack offensive points.So after replacing Antawn Jamison, the problem of defense actually became bigger and more serious.Ci Shiping can still fight hand-to-hand, but what about Jamison?He is three and a half years older than Ci Shiping, and has long since lost his defensive energy.

Because everyone knows that compared to the offensive end, the defensive end is the first major aspect of a player to decline.

Besides, Jamison was not a good defender when he was young, so he is even more energyless when he is older.

This looks in the eyes of Mike D'Antoni, and it is anxious in Mike D'Antoni's heart.

But what else could he do now?The Lakers have no one to use outside, and Jamison still has a height advantage.If Morris, Meeks and others are replaced, the defensive lineup on the outside will only become more fragile.

"It's okay, Carmelo, just get the next ball back." Jason Kidd is known as "Grandfather", and he is a complete veteran of the rivers and lakes, so he quickly calmed Anthony's angry heart and said: "I will Pass the ball to you." Anthony nodded immediately when he heard what Kidd said. No matter what, Kidd's status in the world is there. The Mavericks came here to improve the team's backcourt stability and tactical quality.Jason Kidd has always done a good job. He is not the same as Nash. He is the kind of guy who is extremely calm and hard to be provoked. He is calm, simple and practical. He is in his No. 5 position .Although the pass is not as coquettish and gorgeous as Nash, it is also unique. In addition, his defense is much better than Nash. The best defensive team many times is the best proof.

On the next ball, Kidd used the pick-and-roll to reach the Lakers' three-point line. If it was Nash, he would definitely continue to go deep and directly break into the Lakers' inside line with the ball to disrupt the situation.But Jason Kidd is different. The purpose of his passing is not to assist directly, or even directly to the passer. His "quasi-assist" ability is so strong that you can hardly imagine.Otherwise, can the lineup of the Nets be brought to the finals twice?Although his statistics are not so eye-catching, he can always sort out the team's offense extremely smoothly. Anyone who has watched the Nets in those years knows that without Kidd, the Nets may not be able to play in the playoffs. Can't make it, let alone the consecutive finals.

"Jason passed the ball to Pablo Steve Novak, is Novak going to take a three-pointer, he attracted Gasol to throw it out, oh~, no, he passed the ball, basketball Passed to Carmelo Anthony who is running in an air cut!" Mike Breen's commentary is the embodiment of Kidd's organizational ability. A player with mediocre skills suddenly became enlightened, and his ability to pass and assist "boomed" soared.

"Beautiful cut! Beautiful run! Anthony just throws off the defender, and he's about to rush inside and shoot!"

Tang Qian really felt that among the quasi-superstars on the outside, Carmelo Anthony's inside attack is the easiest to be defended against.He is worthy of being the No. 3 hatter in the NBA. With his inner offensive IQ, it is really difficult for others to compete with him for the first place.The offensive kaleidoscope outside the restricted area, the offensive [-] inside the restricted area, this is Carmelo Anthony, the enigmatic New York man.

"You want to score goals like this?" Tang Qian was a little speechless after seeing Anthony's offensive style: "God~ I'm sorry for my own eyes if I don't block you~" After finishing speaking, Tang Qian said Stretching out his left hand, he slapped Anthony's "straight up and down dunk" vigorously.Even if Tang Qian didn't open the gold ability card for this kind of ball, he would be blocked with 7% to 8% certainty, let alone the gold block card?

"No. 29 blocked Carmelo! Carmelo shot himself, got the offensive rebound, and then continued to shoot at the basket!" Mike Breen had just finished speaking, and there was another "snap", passing into everyone's ears.

I don't know if it's true that Anthony has the "offensive rebound halo". After being blocked twice in a row, he miraculously got the offensive rebound again!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” With a loud roar, Anthony “straight up and down”. His physical fitness has never been regarded as the top in the NBA. He bounced well in high school, but after he suffered an injury in college, he lost his high fly. Ability, not to mention the originally not excellent bullet speed.So this kind of forced shot at the basket was once again blocked by Tang Qian's hot pot.

After three blocks in a row, Anthony became furious. He yelled at the referee: "He fouled! Didn't you see that he fouled?" The referee for this game is the famous "Brother Iron Face" Ken Moore, he has been law enforcement in the NBA for 26 seasons, what superstar hasn't seen it?To put it bluntly, he has experienced the era of "Black and White Hegemony". He whistled the top ten in history without blinking. What are you Carmelo Anthony?
beep beep~
Before the Lakers had time to advance to the frontcourt, a whistle was heard, and the referee Ken Moore blew the whistle.

Look at his gestures... New York No. 7, technical foul!
The Lakers Kobe stepped forward to make a free throw, swiped, and scored a free throw. Since the ball was in the hands of the Lakers, he continued to serve the frontcourt.

After the absence of Nash, the Lakers' offensive system has indeed become sluggish, including Tang Qian. His offensive ability has been greatly reduced in an instant, and it is completely different from the threat of Nash when he is on the court.Blake made a three-pointer. When~, the shot hit the iron. Kobe passed the ball very well, but unfortunately he couldn't make it.

This made Kobe's patience, which was not much in the first place, more and more rare.

The New Yorkers protected the rebounds. Even if it was Tang Qian, it was impossible to grab every offensive rebound. After all, reality is not a game, and as I said before, offensive rebounds are more difficult than backcourt rebounds. How much bigger than 3~4 times?After all, rebounding is much more beneficial to the defense.

"Jason, give me the ball!" As soon as he reached the Lakers' 3-point line, he raised his hand for the fairway.Kidd saw that the defender in front of Anthony was replaced by an older and weaker Jamison, so without hesitation, he stuffed the basketball in his hand.

Just when Anthony took a three-threat test step and was about to pull out his hand, a voice from the inside of the Lakers suddenly shouted: "Antoine, let him in." Jamison was taken aback when he heard that, but he still Without answering, Carmelo Anthony became furious and yelled: "Oriental guy! You are too arrogant! Do you really think that you can kill me if you cover me a few times?"

Tang Qian did not show weakness, and deliberately taunted: "As long as you dare to come and have a one-on-one with me, I will dare to eat you! Of course, if you are scared by me, then forget it, and I can understand. "What? You damn oriental stinker!!!" Anthony has never been the kind of person with a particularly calm head, so he immediately gave up the plan of pulling out, and broke through Jamison with a cat body. Go straight to kill the inside of the Lakers.

Seeing this, Gasol wanted to help defend and delay, but he heard No. 29 of the Lakers behind him say: "Paul, let this guy in, I'm in good shape tonight." Gasol wanted to continue to defend, but Due to his good relationship with Tang Qian, he still chose to respect the latter, of course... just a ball.

If Tang Qian's defense fails, he will continue to assist and supplement the defense.

Hearing that No. 29 was so rampant, Anthony was annoyed, and rushed in to forcefully resist and shoot.

"Yoo~ You've learned to behave a little better, don't you dunk?" Tang Qian said, "But it's still useless."

slap~
Another cap, which made Anthony almost fall to the ground!
The Lakers fast break, or Kobe, after changing direction, forcefully kill the inside, and then hit the basket to fight and score.

brush~
The basketball rolled into the opponent's basket, and it also cost the New York team an additional foul inside.

There is a chance to hit a three-pointer.

Tang Qian went to the frontcourt to grab a free throw rebound. When he passed by Anthony, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Don't look at me like this. I don't mean anything to you. If you feel uncomfortable, welcome to come again."

But, damn it! ! !hateful! ! !
Anthony remembered the scene of the last match, he didn't want to be deflated several times in a row!

brush~
Kobe added free throws, plus the free throws for the previous technical foul, 28-44, and the trailing score was reduced to 16 points.

"Jason, pass the ball~" After halftime, Anthony opened his hand again to ask for the fairway. He should have been off the court long ago, but because of continuous deflation, Anthony refused Woodson's order to leave the court.Mike Woodson's face was a bit ugly, but he also knew that Anthony would not come if he didn't come. Before he had a championship trophy, he would not have much confidence in facing any famous star.

"Carmelo, I think this ball is still..." Before Kidd finished speaking, Anthony interrupted loudly: "Give me the ball! I want to single him! Don't you believe in my strength?" Hearing what Anthony said, Kidd couldn't persuade him any more. Anyway, he has already won the NBA championship with the Mavericks, and his career is considered complete.As for the last few years, it is purely to enjoy the fun of playing, earn more dollars, and learn more about the skills and tactics of different teams, so as to plan to be a head coach after retirement.

Anthony held the ball again and broke through Jamison, which is not a problem at all, but the problem is Tang Qian's side...

The on-site commentators at Madison Square Garden were a little nervous, and they both said: "Carmelo held the ball in the top arc again, and he passed Jamison. Except for the Lakers' basket in front of him, only the East is left. No. 29. Gasol didn't come to help defend, this is another one-on-one matchup."

"Carmelo can succeed..." Before he could finish the word, a big hat rang through Madison Carrying Garden.

For the fifth or sixth time, Anthony was blocked in a single quarter.

And the saddest thing is that the person who blocked him was only one person.

"Hey, didn't I just say that?" Tang Qian lowered his head and said, "You should go to exercise more, your fat is a bit too much."
