Chapter 812 Just Want to Hang and Beat
Wang Zixing lamented: "Compared with his MVP season, Ross's explosive power is much, much worse now. It seems that the injury has really affected him. He is only 28 years old. It stands to reason that he should be at his peak." .”
Su Qun explained: "Ross has frequently suffered major injuries, and his physical foundation is really good. Some players suffer from injuries like his, and their careers may be almost over."
Pause back, the game continues.
For the Knicks, Boshen hit the Turks in the low post and gave the ball to Noah at the basket!
Noah's dunk was blocked by the basket!
Anthony grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-up!
9:5, the point difference narrowed to 4 points!
Westbrook came over with a dribble, and with the help of the cover of the duck egg, he broke through and opened the weak side.
Thanks to the Turks who broke through again and scored the top of the arc.
The Turks shot a 3-pointer-middle hit!
At 12:5, the point difference further widened.
Su Qun sighed: "The Knicks' defense is too bad, and the flexibility is not good. When the opponent makes a sudden point, the one who throws it can't come back. Some simply don't rush and watch others shoot."
Here Rose made a strong layup and stopped the bleeding for the team, 12:7!
Westbrook came over with the ball and gave it to the high-ranking Turk.
Thanks for the cut without the ball, the Turks pass in seconds!
Xie Kai caught the ball, shook Boshen, turned around and smacked into the basket, forced a layup and scored 2+1!
"Beautiful, the judgment of the kick is amazing!" Su Qun said excitedly.
Xie Kai made an extra free throw and the Thunder led 15:7!
The Knicks fans in the stands were also a little disheartened. They were tired watching the team being beaten by their opponents without the ability to respond.The problem with this team is actually on the defensive end. Due to injuries, Rose has always had problems defending against opposing guards, especially when picking and rolling.Anthony has never contributed much on the defensive end. Even when he was in the Nuggets at his peak, he didn't pay much attention to the defensive end. Now that he is older, his energy is used on the offensive end. This situation is even more serious.As for Boshen, the offensive end is indeed a good player, and the defensive end needs to improve both in terms of experience and habits.The best defensive player, Noah, is no longer as brave as he used to be, and dunks under the basket will be blocked by the basket. In addition to experience, his body has really declined too much.
With such an undisciplined team, if you let him defend well, there is something wrong with it!
The Thunder played against the Knicks in the away game. Anthony was completely unable to guard against Pickle without the ball, and Westbrook used the pick-and-roll to make the Knicks hurt.
Halfway through the first quarter, Xie Kai and Paojiao took a break. At this time, the score was 17:10, and the Thunder led by 7 points.
After Xie Kai and Paojiao left the field, the Knicks' defensive pressure was not so great.Anthony is afraid of Paojiao's off-ball offense, but he is not afraid of Robertson...
During this period, the Knicks scored through the joint scoring of Boshen and Melo, closing the gap.
With 1 minute and 59 seconds left in the first quarter, there was a timeout on the sidelines. When the timeout came back, Xie Kai and Paojiao returned to the court again. At this time, the score on the court was 23:21, with only 2 points left up.
At this time, the Knicks' second team consisted of Hernangomez, Brandon Jennings, O'Quinn, Justin Holiday and Kuzminskas.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Xie Kai dribbled over and organized an offense at the top of the arc. It was Justin Holiday who defended him.
There are many "holiday brothers" in the NBA. This Justin Holiday is the brother of Zhu Holiday and Aaron Holiday.He is 198cm tall, graduated from the University of Washington, participated in the 2011 draft, but lost.In a trade involving Rose this summer, he was sent to the Knicks by the Bulls.
Justin Holiday is tall and long, and his 3-point shooting percentage reached 43.3% last season. He is a growing 3D guard.
The reason why coach Hornacek asked Holiday to defend Xie Kai instead of Jennings was because he was not bad.If according to the setting of the computer game, the defense is based on the position, then it must be Jennings who defends Xiekai.
How bad Jennings's defense is, presumably anyone who has watched basketball for more than 3 years will have a point. Although his offense is unstable, he scored 55 points in a single game that year. This is something Xie Kai has never done so far. .
Jennings was guarding Robertson, a blue-collar wing with a poor outside shot.
Robertson is not only inaccurate in outside shooting, even if he has improved a lot this season, he is also not very good at attacking with the ball, and his back is even worse, so Jennings, who is only 185 tall, will not be killed by misplacement when defending him.
Xie Kai gave the ball to Kanter in the low post.
Kanter hit Hernangomez with his back, took advantage of his size, went to the basket, was flanked by O'Quinn, and forced a shot-no!
Kuzminskas grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Jennings to advance.
Jennings has been wandering for the past few seasons, and now no team will let him play the starting point guard. His defense and poor passing make his current value is to be a second-team mess The point-grabbing player is similar to Xiaobu back then.
It was Xie Kai who defended Jennings.
In fact, Xie Kai, Robertson and Paojiao from outside the Thunder's second team are all players in the best defensive team. No matter who defends Jennings, it is enough for him to drink a pot.
Facing Xie Kai's defense, Jennings tried to get rid of it by changing directions continuously, but he couldn't do it.He is 185cm tall, but he does not have the speed of AI. It is not easy to get rid of Xie Kai.
Jennings gave the ball to Holiday, who, with the help of O'Quinn's pick-and-roll, took the ball to the right corner and gave it to Kuzminskas in the bottom corner.
Kuzminskas couldn't break through the pickled pepper, so he distributed it to Jennings.
There was not much time to attack, Jennings forced a shot, stepped back and made a 3-point shot-almost missed!
Kanter picked up the rebound standing up and handed it to Xie Kai to push it over.
Xie Kai specially called Robertson to come over and give him a pick-and-roll.
"The pick-and-roll between swingers, I have an idea!" Su Qun said suddenly.
It was Jennings who defended Robertson, and it was obvious that Xie Kai was targeting him.
The Knicks certainly don't want to switch defenses, because once this happens, Jennings will face Xie Kai, which is not a good choice.
Justin Holiday opted to squeeze through the screen, and Jennings came for a delay.
At such a moment, Xie Kai suddenly started, accelerated and overtook Jennings, and surpassed the two of them!
Xie Kai charged directly from the middle. Facing O'Quinn's defense, he turned around and made a fake pass from the basket to Kanter.
Kanter easily dunked with one arm!
Wow - K honey screamed in the stands. It is obvious that Xie Kai did not directly score the ball, but 90% of the credit is his. Kanter who scored the goal just ate the meat that Xie Kai fed to his mouth That's all.
