Chapter 218 Battle against the Knicks (final)
The boos all over the sky in the Wachovia Center Arena seemed to be mocking him, and the former six All-Star superstars showed embarrassment on their faces.

"What the hell is this new one?"

Stoudemire couldn't even understand it. The young man behind him who seemed to have a sworn enemy with him, all kinds of active winding defenses, with long hands and feet, clinging to him like a piece of brown sugar.

By pinching JR and Stoudemire, the Knicks' second team no longer has any offensive power.

The Knicks players suddenly discovered that the 76ers' second lineup was so difficult to deal with. The defensive end was like an iron barrel formation, and the Knicks, which lacked breakthrough ability, could not break through the 76ers' formation at all.

Fortunately, the 76ers' second team lacked organizational skills. The two teams began to fight defensively.

The scores of both teams rose slowly, and Collins was calm. Anyway, his task for the substitute was to hold the lead.

But Woodson is not calm. Why did he switch to JR and Stoudemire? It was not his original intention to take advantage of the time when the 76ers' main players were away.

So his mind was running fast, thinking about the method of cracking, and applied for a timeout.

Five minutes later, the main players of both sides returned to the court. At this time, the 5ers still led by 76 points 40 to 32. The two teams only scored 8 points in the first half of the second quarter. The audience fell asleep watching it.

Fortunately, the main force is back now, and the Knicks' Anthony has actually returned to the court 2 minutes earlier.

Lowry hasn't played yet, and the 76ers have a lineup of Tang Wenlong, Meeks, Iguodala, West and Gasol. Tang Wenlong and Iguodala take turns to control the ball and organize the offense, while Meeks is the outside line The fixed-point fort perfectly opens up the space.

The Knicks' offense is still bad, but the 76ers gradually regained their touch.

First, Gasol hit an inside hook, and then Iguodala scored a three-pointer from Meeks. The instant 5-0 widened the point difference to 13 points.

JR's three-point shot was interfered by Tang Wenlong and missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Gasol.

The 76ers attacked in a defensive position and opened up space for Tang Wenlong to single out JR. Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball under the crotch continuously and then crossed over. , Scoring a layup against a confrontation, as tough as a rock.

JR watched the show behind him, gave up defense after the first step was passed, and Anthony almost missed him with the ball in anger.

After being hit high, Woodson had no choice but to ask for a timeout, and the atmosphere in the Wachovia Center Arena became extremely enthusiastic, reaching the highest value since the start of the game.

Back from the timeout, Woodson arranged for Anthony to make a strong attack. Anthony caused Iguodala's second foul of the field and made two free throws from the free throw line.

Iguodala was fouled twice, and the Knicks made it clear that Anthony would continue to attack. After Iguodala communicated with Tang Wenlong, he adjusted his position in the next round and Tang Wenlong defended Anthony alone. At that time, Tang Wenlong didn't have a single foul, and he used the wheel fight in a grand manner.

Anthony was speechless. Seeing that another foul would free him, another outside blocker came up. Fortunately, Tang Wenlong was not as experienced as Iguodala, so it was a blessing in misfortune.

At the end of the half, the 76ers led 55 to 39 by 16 points. In the second quarter, they suppressed the Knicks and scored 16 points. Of course, the performance of the substitutes should be most praised.

The Knicks players were so stressed that they were silent when they returned to the locker room.

Barkley said triumphantly: "I have seen the performance of the 76ers a long time ago. I have always been optimistic about them. The Knicks are just a mess, and they showed it on the court. They hardly have any visible cooperation. Of course, if Cameron's one-on-one is also the team's cooperation, as if I didn't say that."

He has always talked a lot, and after saying these words, he is not afraid of offending the most critical New York fans in the NBA, but there are actually a bunch of people who hate him and scold him on the Internet.

In the second half, the Knicks organized a counterattack, and JR was promoted to the starting lineup in the second half. The offensive end was more active, but he scored several three-pointers.

It’s just that the 76ers can also score a lot of goals in the same period of time. When Chandler is on the court, they mainly break through and score goals. The tactics changed in real time, and the defensive lineup against the Knicks played very reasonably.

By the end of the third quarter, the 76ers had scored 85 points, of which Tang Wenlong scored 20 points, Iguodala had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, and Gasol had 11 rebounds.The Knicks only scored 64 points, and the difference between the two teams was 20 points. Anthony only scored 17 points on 4 of 12 shots. The Knicks scored the highest score. double player.

The fans in Philadelphia rejoiced, the game time hadn't run out, and it seemed that the game had been firmly won.

Tang Wenlong didn't take many shots, but his shooting percentage was extremely high. He mostly did other things in this game, such as rebounding and defense. On the offensive end, Iguodala played more aggressively than him.

After the fourth quarter, the Knicks also failed to make waves. Anthony played the first half of the game, but after the point difference did not close, he was replaced by Woodson, announcing that he had completely given up the game.

In the end, the 76ers beat the Knicks 112-94 at home. Tang Wenlong scored a game-high 25 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and sent 5 assists. He had 4 steals in the game, all of which came from the help defense , Most of the Knicks' passing routes are too straightforward, and they are simply testing his anticipation, speed and reflexes.

The post-match press conference was attended by both teams.

As the Knicks of the visiting team, they were the first to attend. Woodson brought Anthony and Stoudemire. The press conference hall was full of reporters, with different skin colors, yellow, white and black, almost from all over the world.

A reporter from New York faced Woodson with a sharp question: "It seems that the team is in trouble on the defensive end. The opponent scored 112 points on the Knicks tonight, shooting more than [-]%."

As soon as Woodson's face darkened, he knew that someone must be talking about defense, "The 76ers feel hot tonight. They played a very good offense. We were exhausted all night. There are indeed many unsatisfactory places on the defensive end. But the next game will be adjusted, and as the series progresses, everyone will definitely be more familiar with each other." The implication is that the 76ers only caught the Knicks by surprise because of the first game.

The reporter from New York got the answer, didn't ask any more questions, and sat down thoughtfully.

Afterwards, the press conference seemed to explode, and there was an endless stream of reporters raising their hands to ask questions. Philadelphia NBA officials asked questions one by one, as if bombing the three of Anthony in turn.
