Strongest defender

Chapter 242 The rebounding situation The Knicks finally breathed a sigh of relief after losing streak, and did not let the losing situation continue.

A victory is like a good situation. All the media expressed surprise about the performance of the Knicks as if they had discovered a new world. No one is more enthusiastic about such a topic than this group of people. All the reporters are telling about the Knicks. Smith has regained his feeling and regained his form, especially the domestic reporters, who boasted about the Knicks' performance, especially Liang Xiao's performance, as if a new player appeared in China.

The text messages and phone calls Liang Xiao received were also congratulations. He expressed his gratitude for these kind greetings one by one, and returned to his talent training ground to strengthen his abilities. Liang Xiao has never slacked off on such things, because Knowing that there are talented people from generation to generation, maybe I will be criticized from all sides if I don't work hard. The most important thing is that I can't pass this test.

After the game against the Wizards, the Knicks rested for two days and continued to make adjustments. This is a big test for head coach Van Gundy. The Knicks' existing lineup can only be supplemented on the basis of the original. All kinds of people are in the training game For the debut, no one wants to work hard to get a better position at this time. Even if it is affirmative, it is a very good result. This makes the atmosphere of the Knicks not seem to be in a slump because of the injury of the main force.

After the home game against the Wizards, the Memphis Grizzlies are ushered in. This young team is still constantly rectifying the team. Every team has accumulated a lot of money. Although the current Grizzlies have Pau Gasol and White Chocolate Jason Williams, and got the Magic's Mike Miller in the trade, but this team just doesn't seem to find its soul.

The game kicked off under the attention of more than 2 fans at the scene. The madman is still resting off the court for this game. It will take a few days until he goes on the court. Not to be taken lightly.Sure enough, after the opening 4 minutes, the Knicks were bullied by the Grizzlies for a full 4 minutes. A wave of 12-3 start made people have to wonder if this game will end in failure again.

"Hey, Shandon, look at the opponent's No. 31, and watch out for his three-pointers!" When Gasol in the Grizzlies' inside line faced Thomas's offense to no avail, Liang Xiao saw the ball fly out from the inside line. Immediately yelled at Anderson.Although Battier has not yet become a veteran of the team, for this three-pointer and high-post player, Liang Xiao directed his teammates to make up for it in time. If the ball is scored, the Knicks will It's a complete failure.

Fortunately, Anderson was reminded by Liang Xiao, so he rushed to his position in time, and flew towards Battier who made the shot. Battier's eyes were sealed by Anderson, and both of them lost their aim at once.Witherspoon on the inside got a rebound.

Half of the quarter has passed, and the Knicks' shots basically ended with a strike. Such a shot made the Knicks only hit 20.00% of the shots after half the quarter.A quick counterattack started, Liang Xiao received the ball and passed it to Marbury. Now the Knicks can only rely on singles, and singles have become the main scoring method.In terms of coordination, it is only more effective to have two defenders.

Facing his opponent Mike Miller, Marbury is superior in height, wingspan and jumping. In addition, Marbury's face-up singles skills are also top-notch. Fortunately, the Timberwolves and the Suns created the old horse's singles , Now after a cross step in front of McMiller, he started to retreat, so that Miller did not keep up with the rhythm, and the ball was hit steadily.

But the good times don't last long. The Grizzlies have Pau Gasol inside, and the pressure on the inside is still urgent, not only because Thomas can get a good containment effect with the support inside, after all, the opponent's toughness is not easy because of a strong defense Players are effectively controlled.Although the Grizzlies are now sending Drew Gooden and Gordon Girisek, this has not affected the Grizzlies' deep inside bench strength at all.

Under the leadership of Gasol, the Knicks fell behind by 7 points with another 3-11. This made Van Gundy anxious on the sidelines. After two consecutive timeouts, he still did not receive good results. Frequent substitutions inside, one lineup for offense, another lineup for defense, the whole style of play is like American football, but this effect really received the effect in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter.

Liang Xiao and Marbury frequently succeeded on the outside, and Thomas's occasional go-betweens were basically the only shots in the inside. This result made the Knicks only trailing by 9 points at the end of the first quarter, and they were finally contained. A situation of constant defeat.

When playing in the second quarter, the Knicks immediately put a lot of firepower on the perimeter, which greatly increased the pressure on the Grizzlies on the perimeter. The Knicks relied on Liang Xiao's four three-pointers and Marbury's three-pointer in the second quarter. With a three-pointer, the situation that was originally behind was turned around. At the end of the half, the Knicks entered the break with a five-point advantage.

In the second half, Van Gundy strengthened the Knicks' interior defense, and did not allow scoring to become the Grizzlies' patent. The interior only defended and defended at any cost, which made it impossible for Gasol to go directly to the basket on the interior , more double-teams increased Gasol's turnovers. In the third quarter, Gasol alone made 4 turnovers. , This is also when a team relies on a star to score and becomes very passive.

When Liang Xiao and Marbury faced Grizzlies guards such as Jason Williams and Mike Miller, the explosive power in the second half was astonishing.Although they did not win the game by a big score, the Knicks Lao Ma and Liang Xiao contributed 49 points. This is also the main achievement of the Knicks during this period of time. The two have become more inseparable for the Knicks. a part of.

In the next game, the Knicks have been in a recovery trend. They challenged the Eagles away, and the madman Sprewell returned to the court. Although Van Gundy played conservatively, the madman stayed on the bench for a full quarter. He hasn't started yet, but the madman proved his strong return with his own state. In this game, he scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, which reduced the pressure on the Knicks a lot, especially in scoring The pressure on Liang Xiao and Lao Ma dropped sharply.

In the game against the Hawks this season, it can only be said that the opponent's luck is not very good. In three games, the Knicks completely defeated their opponents.For Liang Xiao, it can be said that Atlanta is Liang Xiao's blessed land. Although he rose in the Knicks, it was the All-Star Game in Atlanta that really brought Liang Xiao to the world. Liang Xiao proved it to the world with his performance fans, I really landed on this stage.

In the away game against the Eagles, Liang Xiao also scored 25 points and 6 rebounds without hesitation. Lao Ma put more energy into assists, only scored 11 points, but had 13 assists.The players of the Eagles are also dying players, which has to be said why the Knicks won all three games.The big dog Glenn Robinson and Sherif Abdullah Rahim are in the last moments of their careers, especially Abdullah Raheem who participated in the All-Star last year, and now averages 21 points and 6.6 points per game Rebounds, but the two of them basically played the role of soy sauce in the process of the Eagles' reorganization. Otherwise, in the previous life, the Eagles would not have ended the season as No. 11 in the Eastern Conference.

After winning the away game, the Knicks returned to the home court against the now-rotated Milwaukee Bucks. The famous coach George Karl has never been able to lead this team with outstanding players to the championship. Losing confidence in the year-to-year expectation, players and team owners are thinking that now is the time to reorganize the team.

When the Three Musketeers lost their final glory, the Bucks had come to an end.Ray Allen's current Seattle and Lewis are forming a spear combination that is starting to attack the league. What is left here are the old Sam Cassell and Gary Payton.

Although Liang Xiao won the game with the team, Liang Xiao still knew the gap between himself and these old guys.What I especially remember is that when Liang Xiao came to the Knicks to face glove Gary Payton in the preseason, even though he performed well, he still had no benefit in the hands of this old guy with excellent defensive skills.This game is still like this. Although Liang Xiao didn't talk to Payton directly on the breakthrough more often, he had to guard against the guy's extended hand at all times in the occasional confrontation and during the breakthrough. Maybe when the opponent will take the ball away.

In this game, Liang Xiao did not have too many outstanding performances, but the point guard matchup between Lao Ma and Payton, one old and one new, still aroused the cheers of the fans on the scene. What is the purpose of this game, maybe it is to find the taste of victory in the first three musketeers era or something else, but the duel between the two point guards definitely made the fans on the scene addicted.

After a seven-game losing streak, the Knicks achieved four consecutive victories, which made many people see the future of the Knicks in the playoffs. It seems that everyone is looking forward to it. The Knicks are at Madison Square Garden in New York City, I can imagine that all the superstars get honors here, this time they get a championship trophy here, if this is the case, that feeling is absolutely wonderful.
