NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The game was a big success, and the team was in trouble.

Chapter 74 Top rim protector, the birth of team history record

Nuggets locker room.

After weighing the pros and cons, Buzdelik decided to give up this seemingly feasible tactic.

The second half of the game started.

But the Nuggets players who had lost all their spirits had difficulty playing the same performance as in the first half.

Especially Anthony.

After a power outage for nearly a quarter, he almost forgot his basic skills and was almost intercepted by Nash.

So the Nuggets did not have a smooth start and failed to catch up with the huge score difference.

Fortunately, the Knicks gave them a chance when they replaced the second lineup in the third quarter, and the Nuggets played a small climax of 7:0.

The Nuggets entered the final quarter with a score of 74:82!

“The final quarter will be coming soon. The fans who came to watch the game today definitely earned their tickets. This is a hot pot feast!”

Kenny Smith kept talking.

Even the outspoken Feizhu next door began to worry about whether his partner could walk out of the door of the Pepsi Center alive after the game.

Barkley quickly helped to smooth things over:

“Yes, this is destined to be a hearty game. All the players in Denver played relatively stably today. The rookies on both sides played well, especially Anthony, the new favorite of our home team fans. As of now, he has scored 1…13 points in the third quarter!”

Barkley looked at the technical statistics in his hand and his face twitched.

Carmelo Anthony made 5 of 17 shots!

This was definitely a disastrous performance for Carmelo Anthony, who performed so well in the first two games.

Originally, both rookies wanted to report their statistics to liven up the stadium, but Barkley stopped talking.

Intermission.

The fans at the scene were also agitated.

The ability of the Nuggets to catch up at the end of the third quarter gave them hope again, and the word victory was not far away for them.

Nuggets bench.

Bzdelik was like falling into an ice cave!

Since the tactical attempt in the second quarter, the Nuggets have been in a slump.

The team’s star player was lost in the third quarter, but fortunately the rotation lineup made efforts to catch up.

Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to explain this home defeat to the Nuggets executives.

On the other side.

Don Cheney walked in front of the team leisurely.

He didn’t pick up his classic and obscure tactical board again, explaining their trends in the last century.

Instead, he chose to let the players get enough rest to recover their physical strength!

The last quarter of the game still started at this tight rhythm.

Knicks attack.

“Defense!”

“Defense!”

···

Denver fans shouted defense.

They knew very well that what the Nuggets needed now was not extreme offense, but defense.

Only by limiting the opponent’s scoring can they catch up with the score.

Unfortunately.

The Knicks did not make any sense and continued to do the same.

Let Dirty Kurt help with the screen, Wang Song came to the right corner to position and pass the ball.

Call Camby!

After two muscle collisions, the competition ended, and Wang Song came to the basket to complete the layup.

Camby was very upset!

He was troubled by this matter throughout the game.

Not only did the defense not work well, but even the offense was affected by this aspect, resulting in the dunks not being understood.

Switch offense.

Anthony and Camby played a familiar pick-and-roll on the weak side, and Camby got a good position.

Dunk under the basket!

From the side, Wang Song suddenly rushed out.

Camby got another big block.

After this big block, the two gold medal commentators in the commentary booth couldn’t hold back their breath.

They stood up and exclaimed: “7 blocks, it has made history!”

“Wang Song is the first rookie player in the history of the Knicks to get 7 blocks. This Chinese center has proved that he has top rim protection ability in just the third game of his career.”

“And… as the game progresses, this record is likely to be refreshed again in this game! Double blocks are not impossible!”

Kenny Smith’s excited voice made Barkley’s legs hidden under the commentary booth tremble slightly.

Double blocks?

This is a very sensitive word for Barkley.

You know, even for him, the highest number of blocks in his career is only equal to Wang Song on the court now.

7!

If Barkley’s career as an inside player is the only regretful thing, it is the ability to protect the rim

.

His height of 198cm made it difficult for him to block those big men who supported their elbows head-on in the last century when confrontation was encouraged.

But now, this Asian kid has just entered the league… In just three games, he has already refreshed the team record for blocked shots and tied it with himself.

Barkley looked at Wang Song on the court, his eyes full of envy.

···

The time of the final quarter passed quickly.

After the commentary booth announced that Wang Song had made history, the Nuggets seemed to deliberately restrain their impact on the penalty area.

Especially Camby, the original center who ate cakes completely became the Nuggets’ defensive vanguard.

He ignored the offense.

And this style of play that relied too much on the feel of the hand eventually did not work in the final quarter when the physical strength was exhausted.

On the other hand, the Knicks continued to output with an extremely stable offense, and they still maintained a stable scoring trend when the opponent was silent.

The game lost suspense!

With 5 minutes left in the game, the Knicks had already established a 20-point lead.

The exhausted Wang Song was substituted.

Herb Sendek originally wanted to strongly request Don Cheney to continue to arrange Wang Song to play.

But Wang Song took the initiative to refuse him.

“Mr. Herb, this is just a regular friendly game, don’t let me risk my life~”

Herb Sendek saw this and shook his head.

Then he glanced at the technical panel and felt a little regretful.

If he could continue to brush the data, maybe…

“Alas~ young man!”

After getting along for a long time, Herb Sendek also roughly understood Wang Song’s character, so he stopped there.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game.

The Pepsi Center was filled with curses and complaints.

In response, all the Knicks players celebrated and cheered.

The Knicks players who were still playing on the court threw the ball high, and everyone rushed to the bench.

They lifted up the tall Asian guy from the Knicks’ bench and threw him into the air.

On the sidelines.

Looking at this scene, the two TNT commentators in the commentary booth smiled at each other, and both stood up at the same time to finish their commentary.

“Congratulations to the Knicks! Congratulations to Wang Song! They still maintain their strong momentum since the start of the season and won three consecutive victories! And as the most outstanding player in this game, Wang Song also broke his own career record and created a team record for the Knicks.”

“8 blocks! He once again proved that he is a top rim protector! ! The Knicks’ restricted area with him… is a no-fly zone!”
