Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 254 The Little Overlord is rejuvenated!Fatty Germany beats Paul while eating and sleeping?

That night, reporters interviewed other stars in the league and asked them to talk about Anthony's 65 points.

Anthony's old friend and rival James said: "I am happy for my brother. He has completed a great feat of historical level. I hope he can bring more surprises to people in the future."

Kevin Durant of the SuperSonics said: "God, what did I see? This guy's explosive scoring power is terrifying. I look forward to the next match with Cameron."

Durant said the plainest words in the most shocked tone like a "die". He and Anthony had a close relationship in private, mainly because Lu Yong was the coach of the Knicks, so Durant paid special attention to this team. Team, even Anthony also has a good impression.

Du Xiaoshuai knows very well that Anthony's ability to score high scores is inseparable from the support behind Lu Yong. When Lu Yong coached the SuperSonics, he often compiled statistics for him. He knows better than anyone how to get the two MVPs.

Anthony's meteoric rise this season is an inevitable result. He himself is a scoring champion, and now with Lu Yong making plans behind the scenes, it would be strange not to win the scoring title.

What is the difference between Durant and Anthony?
In fact, there is not much difference between the two in nature. They are both small forwards who focus on scoring, linking up with teammates in the second place, and have top shooting skills and offensive skills. If we really talk about the differences, Anthony is probably better in skills, and Duran is better. Although his physical fitness is better, there is not much difference in his scoring methods.

Lu Yong also arranged "sewer tactics" for Durant, so Adu is no stranger to this scene, and he even vaguely misses the days when he led the team to the top of the league.

Suns player Dudley also accepted the interview and said helplessly: "Anthony is a great player. He has the league's top offensive ability. You don't know how he will end the offense next. All you can do on the court is Keep up with him, whether you can defend him or not depends on luck."

Dudley was responsible for defending Anthony tonight and was beaten into a funnel. He was now extremely depressed, but he had to admit Anthony's greatness. Only by praising his opponent higher would his background not seem so useless.

Suns head coach Gentry went even further in an interview, saying that 65 points in a single game may not be Anthony's limit. As long as he wants to score points with all his strength, he may be able to average 40 points per game.

Although everyone knew that Gentry was trying to praise Anthony to offset his faults in defensive tactics, this answer still excited the reporters in the audience and successfully diverted their attention.

Fans are also paying more and more attention to the Knicks, not wanting to miss any exciting moments that may happen, and their attention is increasing day by day.

Next, the Knicks usher in a wave of intensive schedule.

Lu Yong began to mobilize veteran players to rest to prevent players from suffering injuries.

On the 11th, the Knicks defeated the Warriors 115-98.

Draymond Green and Bazemore were both poached by Lu Yong. The Warriors' forward defense is not very strong. In addition, Carl Landry also did not join the Warriors due to the instigation of the butterfly effect. This season, the Warriors as a whole The strength has been greatly reduced, and no one can guarantee whether it can become the dynasty team that won three championships in four years in the future.

At least in Lu Yong's view, the Warriors are useless this season. The current 16-17 winning rate is less than 50%, ranking only 11th in the Western Conference.Their biggest difficulty comes from within the team. It is difficult to build a team of kings in a short period of time.

After Andrew Bogut joined the Warriors in the summer, he and former SuperSonics star David Lee formed a two-tower interior with one offense and one defense. However, this guy simply took it home. After the start of the game, he only played 21 games for the Warriors because of a knee injury. The injury ended the season, and his averages of 5.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game plummeted, which almost killed the Warriors.

If Stephen Curry hadn't exploded this year, averaging 23 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, the Warriors wouldn't have won 16 consecutive games and would have joined the Suns and Hornets in the race for the No. [-] pick.

After the game, Curry took the initiative to hug Lu Yong, his eyes filled with the light of wanting to play for Lu Yong.

As the coach who values ​​three-pointers the most in the league, Lu Yong has almost single-handedly promoted the advent of the small ball era in recent years.Curry, who loves shooting three-pointers, has a good impression of Lu Yong. Unfortunately, he just signed a four-year contract extension with the Warriors this year. If he wants to join forces with Lu Yong, he can only wait until the next contract year.

On the 12th, the Knicks defeated the Bucks back-to-back 108-97.

安东尼这场发挥不佳，全场出战36分钟，21投8中，三分球6中2，罚球4中4，只得22分5篮板3助攻1抢断，表现不如24分4篮板5助攻的蒙塔-艾利斯。

尼克斯主要赢在内线，“小霸王”斯塔德迈尔16投10中，罚球7中5，砍下25分11篮板2助攻2盖帽，打爆了臂展奇长的运动型内线拉里-桑德斯，后者只有6分7篮板1盖帽。

新秀德拉蒙德-格林同样表现抢眼，替补出战28分钟，6投5中，三分球2中2，得到12分6篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽，填满数据栏。

On a day off, the Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons 116-92, becoming the first team to win 30 games this season.

The little bully continued to show his power, playing 32 minutes, scoring 26 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and severely abused Pistons center Greg Monroe.

Monroe has good statistics this season. All statistics have reached career highs, averaging 16 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal per game. He looks like an All-Star.

In fact, as long as you have a deeper understanding of Monroe, you will find that this guy is essentially an ordinary starter who cannot be reused.

Strong offense and weak defense are synonymous with him. Coupled with the poor record of the Pistons in recent years, Monroe has gained more opportunities and shots without the pressure of record, which makes the data look more amazing.Once he is thrown into a championship-contending team, it is not certain whether Monroe can start or not. He might just be a sixth man.

Anthony's condition has improved slightly. The only shortcoming is that his shooting rate is still low. He made 22 of 9 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. His condition was up and down.

After this game, the Knicks lead the league with 30 wins and 7 losses, 2.5 games ahead of the second-place Heat in the Eastern Conference.

On the 16th, the NBA ushered in a popular focus game. The Knicks faced the "Lob City" Los Angeles Clippers at home.The Clippers performed well this season, with 23 wins and 14 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference.

Although it is not the first step in the championship team, the "Lob City" composed of Paul, Griffin and Jordan is deeply loved by fans. The violent playing style often performs top-five ball-level dunks. If the league launches a popularity ranking, the Clippers will definitely be in the top five.

The media are praising the Clippers' smooth offensive performance. Griffin also won a large number of All-Star votes with his explosive dunks, locking in the starting position in the Western Conference early.

However, in Lu Yong's view, the real core player of the Clippers is Paul. Without him delivering cannonballs in the backcourt, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan would not have grown to this point.

In addition, the Clippers have always played well in the regular season, but the reason why they have been unable to make further progress in the playoffs is also very simple. The core players of this team have obvious flaws. Paul is short in height and cannot play a decisive role in critical moments. Griffin's shooting is poor. He only took 0.4 three-pointers this season and his shooting rate was less than 15%. Even his mid-range shooting was unstable.

As for DeAndre Jordan, this guy is a typical blue-collar insider who can only take advantage of the pie on the offensive end. Once he encounters a powerful opponent, the Clippers will easily be defeated.

Lu Yong didn't take this Clippers team seriously at all, because Deron Williams' style of play irritated Paul, and his reputation of beating Paul during his meals and sleeps was a solid record. Paul was destined to be unable to beat him because of this. With an advantage, the Clippers have nothing to fear.

Anthony was sidelined due to a wrist injury in this game, and his absence undoubtedly greatly weakened the Knicks' offensive firepower.However, Lu Yong is still not too worried. Anthony has been explosive for half a season. After finally meeting Paul, Deron Williams should feel relieved.

Anthony's rest is just enough to allow Deron to swallow more of the ball, and he will also experience the taste of dominating the game tonight.

After the players came out, they learned that Anthony was out due to a wrist injury, and "Big Mouth" Barkley couldn't help laughing. "Anthony is absent tonight due to injury. I don't know which Knicks player will have a breakout. I guess Lu Shuai will most likely let Deron play the main attack. He has a high success rate against Paul. This is not the first day that these old enemies have known each other. ”

Smith smiled and said: "Maybe Anthony's injury was just a cover. Lu Shuai's purpose from the beginning was to help Deron teach his old opponent a lesson. He can definitely do such a thing."

After the warm-up, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced on the big screen.

Clippers five: Paul, Bledsoe, Odom, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.

This is a seemingly strong starting lineup, but Bledsoe is only a third-year rookie and has not yet reached his peak. Odom has almost become a useless person. This season, he averaged 4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game. The shooting rate is 39.9%, which is one step closer to retirement.

Among the starting five, the only ones who can really play are Paul + Griffin. Even Jordan is almost useless. They have no other use than eating cakes and protecting the frame.

The Clippers' bench depth is quite good, and they also have sixth man Jamal Crawford, Butler, and Matt Barnes. However, the Clippers' real winning trend is Paul, and his performance will Greatly affects the trend of the game.

This season, Paul averaged 33.4 minutes per game, 16.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 2.4 steals. He shot 48.1% from the field and 32.8% from three-point range. His data dropped slightly from last season, but he is still an All-Star. level star.

If Deron Williams hadn't been very experienced in dealing with Paul, Lu Yong would not have dared to underestimate the Clippers.

The Knicks' starting five: Deron Williams, J.R. Smith, Butler, Green, Stoudemire.

Lu Yong has changed his starting lineup, Anthony is on a truce due to injury, and J.R. Smith, who has strong offensive firepower, will naturally take his place. As for putting Green in the starting lineup, it is to deal with Griffin, as long as Griffin cannot rush after the pick-and-roll. , his offensive threat is reduced by half.

Green has a ruthless nature in his bones. What he is best at is messing with people's mentality. It is definitely not bad to pester Griffin one-on-one. At the worst, he can disgust him for a period of time and use fouls to prevent Griffin from dunking.

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Stoudemire broke out faster, helping the Knicks get the first offensive ball in the opening game.

Deron brought the ball to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire. The Clippers were man-to-man. Deron broke through from the left and leaned against Paul with his body. He had no fancy skills and relied entirely on his height and strength to suppress the defense. He went to the basket, took three slow steps and made a layup, relying on Paul to score easily. 2 to 0.

Barkley smiled: "Sure enough, the Knicks focused on Deron from the beginning. Lu Shuai was obviously prepared tonight. Paul, a little man who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team four times, will suffer."

Kenny Smith said: "Deron played the ball very confidently. I don't know if it was my imagination. When he saw Paul, his eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of murderous intent."

When the Clippers attacked, Paul held the ball in the middle and played a pick-and-roll. He dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, changed his direction in front of his body and passed Deron's blockade, attracting help from the defense and passing the ball to Griffin.Green defended well in this round. He moved his feet very quickly and blocked Griffin's cutting route in time, preventing him from dunking in three steps.

Griffin's breakthrough was blocked and he stopped in place. He observed for a moment and passed the ball to Bledsoe, who was receiving the ball from the outside. The latter received the ball and went to the basket. JR Smith's physical fitness was amazing, but his strength was not comparable to Bledsoe's. After all, this guy is nicknamed "Little LeBron". He rushes like a human cannonball, hitting the board in a high arc against the defense and scoring. 2 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Deron Williams moved to the three-point line and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire. Paul was faster in pursuit this time and did not lose position.Deron opened up space while walking to attract Jordan's attention. He faked a move and threw the ball high to the basket.

Jordan turned around and sank slowly. Stoudemire jumped up from three steps into two steps. He caught the pass with one hand in the air, squeezed out Odom who was helping to block the shot, and scored a violent alley ball!boom! 4 to 2.

Barkley shouted: "Beautiful! Stoudemire made a powerful shot to Huashan from the beginning. This was a pass from Deron Williams. The two people cooperated more and more tacitly in the alley-oop through the pick-and-roll. "

Kenny Smith said: "Amar'e Stoudemire has been rejuvenated this season. Whether he plays power forward or center, Lu Shuai has always made him the starter because he is very useful in tactics and is very threatening when cutting down after the pick-and-roll. If the Clippers want to win, they can't put all their focus on Deron alone."

Barkley said with a smile: "Deron beat Paul at the beginning and gave the Clippers a powerful start. This ball also cleverly attracted help from the defense to assist teammates and succeeded in an alley-oop dunk. His performance is completely different from Anthony. In addition to scoring, Deron Also kills games with the pass."
