Chapter 146
"Boy, don't you dare to attack yourself?"
At this moment, Long Rui was planning to organize the team's offense from outside the three-point line, and Anthony made a provocative sound.
He wanted to use this method to prevent Long Rui from connecting the teams, thereby interrupting the cooperation of the Cavaliers and causing their state to decline.
How could Anthony's trick be fooled by Long Rui.
Long Rui directly chose to ignore his provocation.
He called Yi Jianlian to come up for the pick-and-roll, and signaled Hickson and Curry to run.
After using the pick-and-roll to form a dislocation, Long Rui once again used his speed to see through the gaps and passed between the opponent's two defenders!
Inside, Stoudemire rushed to defend, but Long Rui did not slow down.
Just when the two were about to collide, he suddenly used a one-armed looping and changing direction, leaving Stoudemire behind in one step.
Then put the ball into the basket by looking back at the moon!
"Hey! This move is amazing!"
"This is one of Wade's stunts!"
"This trick requires a lot of physical coordination. Many players have used this trick, but the effect is not ideal, and it even looks very blunt."
"Wade is the best player to use this trick. I saw Long Rui just now. I think he is second only to Wade!"
Zhang Weiping said slowly.
"Long Rui's movements seem to be very smooth, and the moment he surpassed others, his timing is very accurate."
"This trick of turning back and forth seems simple, but it is actually not easy to do it well. Obviously Long Rui has grasped the essence of it."
Su Qun also echoed.
Long Rui's attack this time can be said to be unexpected. One second before, he was directing his teammates to run, and the next second he had already completed the breakthrough.
As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating, this method can often have unexpected effects, even Anthony was deceived by Long Rui.
"Boy, you can only rely on sneak attacks."
Anthony snorted coldly, feeling very upset, but he had no choice but to say that Long Rui played very smartly.
"I have only one goal, and that is to win. As for the method, it doesn't matter."
The corners of Long Rui's mouth raised slightly, and he replied calmly.
Halfway through the first quarter, the teams were evenly matched.
16:17
The Cavaliers only held a one-point lead.
The game entered the first official timeout, and players from both sides returned to the field.
"Carmelo, we can't fight like this anymore, others must stand up."
When Anthony and others returned to the bench, Knicks coach D'Antoni said this.
As for the various reasons, he doesn't need to go into too much detail, the players naturally understand.
"Coach don't worry, I will connect more teams in the future."
Chauncey Billups responded immediately, because that was his job on the court.
D'Antoni nodded, and then continued: "In addition to the need to change the team's offensive method, our defense also needs to be better."
"You have to step up on the defensive end, especially for Long Rui."
"He is still our key defensive target, and we can use assisted defense to target him."
"And Carmelo, you have to increase your defensive deterrence against him."
"Try to interfere with him as much as possible, and don't let him have too comfortable handling space."
"..."
Taking advantage of this timeout, D'Antoni also hastily made some tactical changes.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers, it seems that they are not nervous at all, and they are resting on the sidelines.
Coach Byron Scott didn't make any special arrangements.
So far in the game, they have been in the upper hand. The reason why they did not widen the point difference is because Anthony is in a hot state today.
But everyone knows that such a fiery state will not last for a whole game.
Besides, even if Anthony can maintain his state, it is useless, and the final result will inevitably lose.
This is a five-person sport, and now Long Rui has revitalized the entire team.
If the rest of the Knicks can't stand up, it's absolutely impossible to rely on Anthony alone.
Tens of seconds later, the timeout ended, and the two sides returned to the field.
The Knicks sent a throw-in, and this time, their offense began to make changes.
Billups organized on the outside, and the rest of the players began to run and cooperate.
The core of the offense must still be Anthony and Stoudemire, but when others get involved, the whole team immediately becomes different.
After a few delicate passes, Stoudemire found an opportunity on the inside.
Facing Varejao's defense, he shot the opponent up with a feint, and then took advantage of the opportunity to throw the ball!
"Dudu!"
The bottom line referee immediately blew his whistle.
And at the moment when the whistle sounded, the basketball that was thrown high fell into the basket miraculously.
This is a beautiful 2+1!
Stoudemire also raised his arms and made a very domineering celebration.
He walked to the free-throw line, made a few adjustments, and made a solid free throw.
19:17
The Knicks immediately went ahead by two points.
Varejao also held his head in his hands, his expression full of remorse.
"Don't be in a daze, go back to the front court!"
Long Rui yelled immediately, and Varejao came back to his senses, and you hurriedly ran towards the front field and threw yourself into the attack.
The offense played by the Knicks just now is a cooperation that they did not have before.
"It seems that D'Antoni has made adjustments."
Long Rui thought to himself, they must also deal with it seriously, and they must not be careless in the slightest.
"UA, Varejao, use No. [-] tactic."
Long Rui said something to the two of them, and they immediately understood.
In training on weekdays, these tactics have been memorized by heart, but their opponents do not understand these codes.
This is also a good means on the court, so that the opponent does not know the next plan.
After receiving the instruction, Yi Jianlian first came up to make a delay for Long Rui, and then immediately stood near the free throw line.
Taking advantage of this delayed opportunity, Long Rui also passed Anthony.
But Anthony was hot on the heels, and Billups on the side also came to help defend.
At this time, Varejao on the inside suddenly raised his body and stood at the free throw line at the same time as Yi Jianlian.
Long Rui went straight through the crowd, blocking Anthony and Billups who was helping to defend him.
However, the Knicks still have Stoudemire guarding the basket, and it is not easy to play.
Just when everyone thought that Long Rui was going to challenge Stoudemire, he suddenly threw the ball directly to the bottom corner with a no-look pass.
The Knicks generals also immediately turned their attention to the past. Curry, who was originally at a 45-degree angle, appeared in the bottom corner at some point.
When the other five saw Curry, their hearts immediately sank.
Especially Billups, he is the one who guards Curry.
But because of the help defense just now, he ignored Curry's running position.
It is obviously too late to defend against the past now.
Curry made another shot from beyond the three-point line and made a hollow hit!
19:20
The score that the Knicks had just reversed had not yet been overtaken.
On the sidelines, D'Antoni's face was a little ugly.
"What are you doing? Don't miss anyone."
He immediately roared into the arena.
On the next possession, the Knicks made a pass error and gave up the ball.
The Cavaliers seized the opportunity, quickly played a defensive counterattack, and successfully scored the ball.
Seeing this, Anthony was a little anxious. In the next round, he started to play singles again.
Perhaps because of the influence of mentality, this ball actually missed after swinging out of the open space!
Anthony also clapped his hands hard, obviously dissatisfied with his performance.
