Strongest defender

Chapter 244 Breaking the net and proving that the Knicks are all back. The whole team seems to be enjoying themselves. Perhaps nothing can be easier than getting the support of teammates on the court. The return of Van Horn is undoubtedly the end of the Knicks season. An exciting news at this time.Since the start of this season, the Knicks have been bumpy all the way. They changed players halfway. After the old teammate Houston left, it is not easy to maintain their current record.

In any case, as far as the current development trend of the Knicks is concerned, it is still very promising in the playoffs, because the Knicks are currently in good shape. Yixin still doesn't have too many problems.

At the celebration of Van Horn's return, Van Gundy also had great confidence in the future of the team, and encouraged everyone to improve in the next few regular season games, so that the Knicks can strive to win in the playoffs. Fight for a number one ranking in the seat of the competition.Van Gundy's words give everyone a lot of confidence. Not to mention that under Van Gundy's training for many years, the Knicks' defensive ability is very outstanding. Van Gundy's ability has always been a proof of playoff tickets. With the Knicks going further, but everything that follows may be unexpected.

With the arrival of Liang Xiao, the Knicks have undergone tremendous changes, but Van Gundy's somewhat conservative tactics are also slowly changing. At least in his previous life, Van Gundy was a very conservative person, much more conservative than now. Still at the center position, relying on the high-strength center to win, it was Gorilla Ewing in the Knicks, and Dayao in the Rockets.But the current Knicks don't have a strong center in the strict sense at all, and this is also what Van Gundy is changing.

Since New York is not very far from New Jersey, they will arrive in this beautiful city soon, but the Knicks and his party did not appreciate the city known as the Garden State, and soon began to prepare for the game.Due to the short return time of Van Horn's injury, he played very short time in the last game against the Raptors.Although the physical recovery is better, one month is definitely a process of falling too much for NBA players who have to train for more than six hours a day.After the comeback, it will take a lot of time to run in with the team to reach the pre-injury level.Besides, it is also meaningful for Van Horn to come to the Nets' home court to play. After all, Van Horn has played for the Nets and achieved good results.

In the arena, Van Horn and his teammates had a low-intensity training, but the Knicks players seemed very relaxed, and they didn't seem to be facing a strong enemy.

The game was held on Wednesday, but the Continental Stadium, home of the New Jersey Nets, was still full. The situation of the Nets this season is very good. For a strong contender for the championship, the fans will never be stingy with their cheers and support .

"Dear viewers, welcome to watch today's NBA. The game broadcast today is the game between the Knicks and the Nets. The guest we invited is still our old friend Director Zhang. Now our game still has a while, I hope everyone can send text messages to participate in our program, and the contact information is already displayed at the bottom of the screen." Court TV broadcasted the game between the Knicks and the Nets live, and before the start of the game, the host began a routine opening .

"Director Zhang, we are worried about watching the Knicks game now. Look at the Knicks game a while ago, it was very unstable. I remember that the Knicks were always in the East before the All-Star Game. Among the top eight, some time ago, it fell out of the top eight, and the ups and downs are worrying!" The host analyzed the Knicks' battle situation some time ago.

Director Zhang's hoarse voice sounded, giving Knicks fans, especially Liang Xiao's fans, a reassurance: "I think the performance of the Knicks some time ago is justifiable. Why, look at the Knicks inside. The Knicks are not very strong at all, and they also lack a general like Van Horn. As long as they encounter a team with a strong inside, the Knicks will definitely suffer. In addition, some time ago, Sprewell was also injured. Rebounds are not guaranteed. If you only expect Marbury and Liang Xiao, it is a bit unrealistic. The ups and downs also show that there is a problem with the Knicks' confidence. I think the Knicks will perform better in this game .”

"I also think this game will be very exciting. The Knicks lineup is now complete and everyone is back." The host was very optimistic about the Knicks, "Okay, now the director played Knicks Marbury on the screen. Compared with Kidd of the Nets. Kidd averaged 18.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Marbury averaged 22.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 8.7 times and 1.3 assists per game. Both of them can be said to be All-Star players."

"I think what the director means is that the key to fans seeing this game may be that the two teams are playing point guards, but then again, Kidd is more professional in point guards, and even has triple-double data. It shows Kidd's comprehensive ability. But Marbury is not weak, and the Knicks also have players like Liang Xiao and Sprewell, so it is still very interesting to compare the lineup."

After nearly half an hour of gossip, the live broadcast of the game finally started amidst the fans' scolding.

"The Knicks' starting lineup is Van Horn, Thomas, Sprewell, Liang Xiao and Marbury. Now the lineup is complete. The Nets' starting lineup is Jason Collins, Kenyon Martin, Richard De Jefferson, Kerry Kittles and Jason Kidd." The host introduced the lineups of both sides one by one. Uncle Mu collapsed in the Nets, but his body was restricted. He played a total of 36 games this season. , In his previous life, he will be in the Knicks next season.

There was cheering in the Continental Stadium. The Knicks came to attack, but the Nets fans were not polite. From the very beginning of the game, there were fans who treated the Knicks as losers.The game started with the scrimmage of the center, and the Knicks did not show mercy. The comeback Van Horn had too many advantages against the rubbish center Collins. The opponent averaged only 5.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, which could not be compared with 16 points and 7 Compared to Van Horn with [-] rebounds.

At the beginning, under the organization of Marbury, the Knicks relied on the inside to succeed. The first ball was Van Horn's shot, which was the first gift for Van Horn's return.The opponent has Kenyon Martin on the inside. Now Martin is in full swing. He is very good at jumping and rushing. He can have 8.3 rebounds and 17 points in every game. But in the double-strong combination of Van Horn and Thomas Underneath, there is still a single tree that cannot support itself.

However, the game was not as difficult as the Knicks expected. After all, the Nets' wins this season can show that they are a strong team.But the Knicks now have a complete lineup and are not much weaker than the Nets, and may be stronger than their opponents in some respects.After Kidd hit a long-range three-pointer, the Knicks began to raise the banner of offense.Because the Knicks have bloomed more points since the start of the game, and they don't rely on one or two points to score. After Van Horn returned, they changed the way of relying on singles or strong plays in the past few games, and focused more on the ball. The overall performance of the team, Kidd saw the performance of the Knicks and suddenly attacked one on the three-point line.

Liang Xiao first attacked the shooting guard. The shooting guard of the Nets is Kittles. This player of the 13 generation has slender arms. , the score has been quite a lot.But after Liang Xiao focused more on this guy, he gradually began to reduce his shots.Although this guy from the [-] generation is very capable, he has slowly gone downhill now, averaging [-] points per game and cannot enter the ranks of aces.Liang Xiao first made an emergency stop jump shot in the middle distance, and then made a breakthrough and dodged in the air under the basket. He pulled the bar and hit a layup. Martin's hand almost touched the basket, but Liang Xiao's movements were very freehand. , and now the ability is increasingly prominent.

Marbury and Madman are not relentless, the old horse chooses more assists, and he met a good opponent in this game, Kidd did not make trouble for the old horse, but in the past, the old horse Now Kidd has more people to help him, and assists are very handy in his job as a point guard.Madman still has a lot of space under Jefferson's defense. After all, Jefferson is not a guy who is good at defense. He has always been suspected of dunking. Although he can make a great contribution to scoring, but now The 22-year-old Jefferson has not yet fully grown, which is why the guy who is now averaging 15.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game cannot resist the tearing of the veteran.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks took the lead with more offensive points, but in the second quarter, Kidd was very involved, and even chose to go to the basket for layups in many cases.Although Kidd is a little short as a point guard, the 29-year-old guy has never shown his old age. This is why in his previous life, Kidd would play for the Mavericks and finally won a championship.

Martin's ability cannot be underestimated either. This guy is obviously a muscular guy. Even Thomas can use all kinds of dirty methods when rushing to grab rebounds. There, Thomas had to have a headache, and the Nets' bench was also working very hard. Lucio Harris stepped up on the bench and gave the Nets a lot of firepower. Before the start of the second half, the Nets Actually surpassed the Knicks.

Van Gundy seemed very calm in the Knicks locker room, but he still commented on the relatively large ups and downs in the first half of the game. At this point, he also wondered in his heart whether he did not have timely personnel in some places. swap.

"The first half of the game was really tit-for-tat. I didn't expect that the Knicks' neat lineup would have a different effect! I think the Knicks are thinking more easily now, but the Nets are more relaxed in the second half. Only by working hard can we win a victory at home." The host was very optimistic about the performance of the Knicks, as if this game meant that the Knicks would definitely win at the end of the game.

"Although the Knicks performed well, there are still some things that can be done better. I don't think they played as smoothly in the first quarter in the second quarter. I think Van Gundy will notice this problem. If Van Gundy can win the second half of the game Based on the performance in the first quarter against the Nets, the Knicks are very hopeful to win an away game." Director Zhang was talking about the gains and losses of the game.

The fans in front of the TV immediately heard the host of the court TV station analyzing and saying something unnutritious after watching this week's top ten goals. The game starts soon.

"I saw that the Knicks' defense was significantly strengthened in the second half. You can see that Martin's layup just now was blocked by the Knicks' inside line, and there was no space to go to the basket. Martin's ability can be displayed even more when he is at the basket. , but if you are too far away from the basket, the hit will come down." After Martin made a short-range shot out of the frame, Director Zhang immediately analyzed.

"Okay, Marbury broke through, Kidd is still very tight, split the ball, look who is in the bottom corner, Liang Xiao, good opportunity, Kittles rushed up, and then split the ball, the wind is at 45 degrees Take a shot from the corner and hit a three-pointer." The host followed the Knicks' pass, feeling excited.

In the third quarter of the game, the Knicks paid more on defense. For the Knicks inside, they mainly defend Martin. On the outside, they are above Kidd's double-team, although Kidd's double-team is a It's not a very wise choice, but at this point, it's not that the double-teaming is deadly, and more support is needed, because Liang Xiao and Madman are two points above, the opponent is not very weak, and the scoring ability is still very outstanding. Only Kidd If you don't pass the ball comfortably, you will win. Besides, Marbury's defensive ability is still very strong, and not every ball needs to be paid by the whole team.

In the third and fourth quarters of the game, the Knicks' state was very stable, which was rare for the Knicks in previous games, and it is more delicate now that is reflected in this point.

At the end of the game, the Knicks still laughed. Although the Continental Stadium can’t bring good luck to the Nets, it can bring good luck to the Knicks. Finally, after the return of all players, they verified their strength. Breaking the net is the best proof.
