NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 49 Good Start



Chapter 49 Good Start
Andrew, who exploded in the United States, did not show up. This made the media who wanted to interview him helpless. On December 12th, the game day of the New York Knicks, Andrew did not show up, and the media immediately surrounded him.

Facing one question after another from the media, Andrew answered very calmly.

Andrew always remembers one sentence: Only by not forgetting the original intention, can we always achieve success.

Even after winning the biggest rookie endorsement contract in history, Andrew's mood didn't fluctuate much at all. What to eat, what to drink, what to train, what to train, as usual.

Don't be arrogant or impetuous, and move towards your goal step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

Come on, Andrew.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the New York Knicks VS New Orleans Hornets will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Speaking of the New Orleans Hornets team, it also makes many fans regret that the original Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans in the 2002-03 season, opening the history of the team in New Orleans.Since Chris Paul, Chris Paul was selected with the fourth pick in the first round in 2005, David West and other players have grown, the team has become a strong team in the Western Conference, but it has never made a breakthrough in the playoffs. Other teams strengthened and rose, and gradually fell behind. Even last season, when Paul was injured and absent, he only achieved a record of 37 wins and 45 losses and missed the playoffs.

This season, they are trying to make a comeback and enter the playoffs. After returning from injury, Paul led the New Orleans Hornets to a 9-game winning streak. The feeling of being reborn.

Currently with 11 wins and 2 losses, it ranks first in the Western Conference.

"Chris Paul!" Andrew murmured looking at Chris Paul on the other side.

Although he knew that Chris Paul would leave the New Orleans Hornets next season, he didn't expect the New Orleans Hornets to start this season so fiercely. This game is a hard battle.

"Beep beep." Following the referee's whistle sounded.

The game officially begins.

With a snap, Timofey Mozgov hit the ball first and the New York Knicks got their first offense.

Andrew dribbled the ball across half court.

Oh?
A hint of surprise appeared on Andrew's face, he didn't expect to be defending himself by small forward Trevor Ariza.

This is also a helpless move by the head coach of the Hornets. Paul's defense is very good, but his height is too deadly. The 183cm Paul is 201cm shorter than the 18cm Andrew. At the same time, what is his weight?It is also too different.

The head coach of the Hornets has also watched Andrew's previous games. Andrew's physical fitness is too tough, even if he faces the inside line, he can fight hard.

This is simply a foul, such a height, such a physical confrontation in the 1st position, too BUFF.

So the Hornets coach can only avoid his edge and prevent Paul from defending Andrew.

As for the No. 2 Marco Belinelli, he has very comprehensive skills and strong breakthrough ability. He can dominate a game with long shots when his hands are hot. He is also a good passer and has a very wide field of vision.Belinelli is the player who runs the most on the field. He dares to make moves without hesitating his physical strength or even getting injured. However, his defense is mediocre, and his confrontation and jumping are not enough. The Hornets head coach dare not send him to defend Andrew. blow up.

The Hornets coach had no choice but to send Trevor Ariza who was about the same height and weight.

Trevor Ariza is 203CM tall and 98KG in weight to defend Andrew just right.

But you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

Andrew immediately directed his teammates to single Paul or Marco Belinelli.

Before the game, Mike D'Antoni's head coach arranged for Andrew to single Paul or Marco Belinelli.

Andrew lobs the ball to low post Wilson Chandler, allowing Wilson Chandler to single Marco Belinelli.

Facing the impact of Wilson Chandler, Marco Belinelli couldn't stand it at all.

Marco Belinelli retreated again and again, and Wilson Chandler took the opportunity to turn around and make a jumper, which was easily hit without defensive pressure.

2:0
The New York Knicks opened the scoring in a different format than before.

"Good shot, Chandler." Andrew praised.

The head coach of the Hornets saw that the New York Knicks hit the weakest link of his team under the command of Andrew, and his face couldn't help but fell into contemplation. What should we do? Replace Marco Belinelli?
Forget it, let's observe another round.

It was the turn of the New Orleans Hornets to serve again, the ball was given to Paul, and Paul dribbled across the half.

After halftime, David West ran over immediately and set up a high pick-and-roll with Paul, which is a very common offensive method of the New Orleans Hornets.

As soon as the pick-and-roll, Paul rushed in, and at the same time the pick-and-roll David West couldn't help running to his shooting position-at the free throw line, which is a very accurate position for David West.

The New York Knicks used a defense switch. Andrew came to David West. Although David West played inside, he was only 205cm tall. Andrew could defend a little bit; while Danilo Gallinari crossed Move in front of Paul and stop him from breaking through.

At the same time, Landry Fields on the flank came to double-team Paul at any time.

Faced with such a situation, Paul was a little stunned.

Generally speaking, there will definitely be opportunities for him and David West to pick and roll. Either he has a shooting opportunity or David West has a shooting opportunity.

But not now.

Paul rolled his eyeballs, and pulled out immediately.

When David West saw this, he immediately went out again.

The two hit another high pick-and-roll.

"Change." Andrew said immediately.

Andrew pounced on Paul.

opportunity!

Paul saw an opportunity to score, so he accelerated directly to the inside of the New York Knicks, took off, and layup.

At this moment, a dark figure appeared behind Paul.

The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind!

The squirrel was Andrew.

Andrew leaped high and hit the ball in Paul's hands from the back.

with a snap.

The ball was slapped directly by Andrew.

In an instant, the entire Madison Square Garden boiled up, cheering: "Andrew." "Andrew." "Andrew." It was also this block that made the morale of the New Orleans Hornets drop slightly.

Your own core is blocked by the opposite core, this, this, this.
"Defend the ball." Andrew yelled at his teammates.

"Yes." "Got it, boss." "No problem.".
As the ball was blocked by Andrew, there was not much time left for the New Orleans Hornets to attack, with only 2.4 seconds left.

The New Orleans Hornets serve out of bounds.

Everyone in the New York Knicks is very strict.

Trevor Ariza, who was out of bounds, kept looking for his teammate to catch the ball, but couldn't find it.

The referee on the side kept counting the seconds, 3, 2, 1.

"Beep beep." The whistle sounded, and the New Orleans Hornets violated the serve for 5 seconds. The ball was converted and returned to the New York Knicks.

"Good shot." Coach Mike D'Antoni stood up and shouted to the team on the field.

Fans at Madison Square Garden also cheered for the home team's defense.
