Chapter 214 Battle against the Knicks ([-])

Barkley and his partner Kenny Smith formed the golden partner of this game. Before the game started, the big-mouthed Barkley had already made a prediction.

"It will definitely be an overwhelming series. I am optimistic that the 76ers will sweep the Knicks."

"Sweeping the Knicks?" Kenny Smith sneered, with a look of disbelief, "Philadelphia is indeed very strong, but the Knicks are not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will. You know, Carmelo Anthony and Stade The two of Meyer missed nearly 30 games in the regular season, and if it wasn't for injuries, their record would be even higher, at least the top five in the Eastern Conference."

"Top five?" Barkley confronted him tit for tat, his mouth full of mercy, "If it wasn't for the outbreak of Jeremy Lin, the Chinese kid, I'm afraid the Knicks wouldn't even be able to make the playoffs."

The two people talk to each other, which is in sharp contrast to the domestic commentators who praise and approve each other. The audience likes to watch the two people bickering, and there are always funny words and sentences in the process of expressing different opinions.

While the two were talking, the opening introductions of the two teams on the field were over. The starting five remained on the field. The 76ers wore traditional white jerseys, while the Knicks chose blue jerseys.

76ers starting: Lowry, Tang Wenlong, Iguodala, David West and Marc Gasol.

Knicks starters: Baron Davis, Iman Shumpert, Anthony, Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler.

Tang Wenlong and Anthony embraced. Anthony looked serious and his eyes were full of murderous intent, "This is a memorable round of playoffs. I will testify for the rising Knicks."

The two are friends off the court, but rivals on the court. Not to be outdone, Tang Wenlong retorted: "But today's victory will belong to Philadelphia. This is a gift for the fans who have been looking forward to the first record in the regular season for 30 years. .”

He used the title of "No. [-] regular season record" to put pressure on Anthony, and he was full of confidence.

After the lighting, cameramen, scorers, and technical staff are in place, the middle circle jumps the ball!
Gasol and Chandler had their thick arms folded together, and the two looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they had secretly started to compete.

The whistle sounded, the ball went up into the sky, and Gasol immediately yelled and jumped up with all his strength!

Two strong men like savage beasts flew up, Chandler's wingspan was longer, but Gasol relied on better timing and rhythm, pressed Chandler with his arms, and hit the basketball first. .

The basketball flew out, Tang Wenlong took two smooth steps, and grabbed the ball with his long arms.

"Boom!" There was deafening cheers in the Wachovia Center Arena, the white ocean surged, and the fans stood up to cheer for the home team. It was obviously just a simple jump ball, but it seemed like won the whole game.

"Is this the charm of the playoffs?" Butler off the court clenched his fists, suddenly felt a heat in his heart, the tension was swept away, and his whole body became passionate.

Lowry stopped outside the three-point line after holding the ball for halftime, and the offensive slogan of "kill the Knicks, kill the Knicks" rang out in unison.

At the free throw line, Gasol catches the ball, Tang Wenlong resists Shumpert at the elbow, Anthony and Iguodala are entangled behind them, and the four seem to be huddled together.

Suddenly, Tang Wenlong made a fake run to the upper line, and then slid to the bottom line in the opposite direction, nimbly like a fish.

As soon as Shumpert turned around, he collided with Iguodala immediately, "Bang!" The two muscular men grunted at each other, and the collision was painful.

Tang Wenlong took advantage of Iguodala's off-ball cover to run back to the basket. At this time, Anthony missed a shot and Tang Wenlong ran over first.

Gasol's mid-range ability pulled Chandler out of the three-second zone. He held the ball high and threw it near the right side of the basket. It was a parabolic advance pass.

Tang Wenlong braked, stepped on the floor with his toes, and stepped up in one step, accelerated into the air in an instant, raised his hands high, because the jumping ability was too amazing, when he grabbed the ball, his arms retracted again, half bent Put it on top of your head.

Then he stared straight at the basket and slammed his hands down!
"boom!"

Tang Wenlong's two hands firmly grasped the rim, and under the huge weight and inertia, the basketball stand was obviously pressed down heavily, wildly like a giant bear in the wilderness.

Both Barkley and Kenny Smith exclaimed at the same time, their mouths could be filled with duck eggs.The audience at the scene felt like being stabbed by a needle at that moment, and they could never return to the bench. The decibels were like heavy metal music, and they couldn't stop at all.

"Good pass, I like this opening!" Tang Wenlong jumped off the basket, tilted his head and high-fived the retreating Gasol.

Gasol nodded, his blond hair fluttered like a drummer, and responded with a smile: "Your dunk is too brutal. As long as you take off, no one in this world can stop you!"

The pressure on the Knicks was heightened, with Baron Davis dribbling across half court with a grim expression.

He is no longer the bearded man of the old black eight Mavericks. He is now slightly bloated, and his speed is as slow as a classic car from the 40s.

He held out his finger and pretended to direct a move, and then handed it to Anthony who fell to the low post to catch the ball.

Iguodala defended against Anthony. The two played against each other countless times. They knew each other's routines clearly. When Anthony turned his back, Iguodala had already begun to simulate in his mind several possible offensive methods for Anthony. Turning and leaning back after the defense, a step-back jumper after turning back, or a tentative step after turning around to get the ball and then attack?
Tentative step!
Anthony still chose the offensive technique he likes and is good at. When playing Iguodala face-to-face, the success rate is higher.

He shook his body for a while, and then dribbled and broke through after taking a step. There were many fake moves on his body, as if there was a possibility of pulling at any time.

Suddenly, he rose from the ground and made a mid-range dry-land pull-up jumper one meter away from the paint.

Iguodala flew to cover it, giving people a feeling as if he could cover it. Anthony calmly told himself that Iguodala would definitely not be able to cover it, but his hand shape changed slightly when shooting.

The basketball shot hit the rim and bounced, and the falling Iguodala backhanded Anthony. The rebounding ability of Melo has always been ignored, but in fact, because of his physical fitness, his ability to grab offensive rebounds Has always been at the forefront of the same position in the league.

The insiders under the basket huddled together. When the basketball bounced, Gasol, who was in a more favorable position, made Chandler unable to jump up, and then jumped up by himself. His elbows were raised, and he looked as tough as a Philadelphia gangster.
