NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 58 The Leading Knicks
The New York Knicks served in the front court, and Wilson Chandler went to catch the ball. After several passes, the ball returned to Andrew's hands, and Andrew dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

Timofey Mozgov ran out, still a high pick-and-roll.

Don't be afraid of old bridges, as long as the effect is good.

The high pick-and-roll is a very common offensive method for the New York Knicks this season.

After a pick-and-roll, Andrew threw off the defensive player and rushed in. Facing Ibaka, who still hadn't pounced, Andrew decisively stopped and made a mid-range shot.

When Ibaka saw Andrew's actions, he already knew something was wrong, so he rushed forward immediately, trying to interfere with Andrew, but it was too late.

Andrew is almost a mid-range jumper without defensive interference. You must know that during training, Andrew's free throw line position and nearby mid-range shooting rate are as high as 90%, as for the rest of the position, the mid-range distance is 70-80%.

"Shua." With a sound, the ball fell steadily into the arms of the basket.

6:2, the point difference came to 4 points.

"Andrew." "Andrew." "Andrew." When Andrew scored a goal, Madison Square Garden heard familiar cheers, and even owner James Dolan couldn't help applauding. The three offensive rounds were really beautiful.

The cheers of the fans reached Kevin Durant's ears. Kevin Durant felt harsh and said that he would do it himself next time.

Generally speaking, Kevin Durant will not take the initiative to attack in the first quarter, but leave it to Westbrook to organize. He plays the role of containment and support, but it is different now. The guy on the opposite side is too arrogant. The boss must respond.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball halfway through, Kevin Durant asked for the ball.

Westbrook gave the ball to Kevin Durant without hesitation.

The ball was handed over to Kevin Durant, and the fans at the scene couldn't help but tighten up. This guy was the scoring leader last season.

And defending Kevin Durant is Wilson Chandler. Wilson Chandler is the strongest defensive perimeter player in the New York Knicks except for Andrew. Wen Durant.

Kevin Durant did not get rid of Wilson Chandler after two consecutive changes of direction, so he directly pulled out on the spot. Wilson Chandler jumped up and blocked, but he still had the highest score with Kevin Durant. There is a certain gap in the points. In fact, Kevin Durant is too BUFF. The official height of this product is 208cm, and the wingspan is 228cm. It is difficult to cover him.

The ball left Kevin Durant's fingers, over Wilson Chandler's head, and headed for the hoop.

"Shua." With a sound, hit.

6:4
Even Wilson Chandler, who was well prepared before the game, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene. Obviously he had already defended in place, but it was still difficult to prevent him from scoring.
"Good defense, Chandler." A hand patted Wilson Chandler's back, and Wilson Chandler was lost for a moment. Looking back, it turned out to be Andrew.

Andrew knows that this kind of ball will cause certain emotions to the defensive players, even if it is very small, but it still has it. If it grows up, it will come out to "dominate" the outcome of the game at the last moment, so Andrew took advantage of it. Want it to "fate".

"Keep going, Chandler, give him more physical resistance, let him do more movements, and try to consume his physical energy." Andrew continued.

"Understood, leave it to me." Wilson Chandler recovered in an instant.

Hearing Wilson Chandler's words, the corners of Andrew's mouth curled up slightly.

The New York Knicks re-serve the ball to Andrew, and Andrew dribbles across half court. This time, Andrew initiates a pick-and-roll from the left 45 degrees. After the pick-and-roll, he deliberately approaches the bottom corner to attract winger Jeff Green.

Sure enough, Jeff Green saw Andrew rushing over, let go of Danilo Gallinari decisively, and moved laterally to help defend.

The next moment, Andrew flicked his wrist and gave the ball to Danilo Gallinari.

Fantastic opportunity.

"When." It's a pity that Danilo Gallinari missed the hit.

"Return to defense!" Andrew quickly reminded his teammates to quickly return to defense. The Oklahoma City Thunder's defensive counterattack is also very fierce, and he must not be allowed to play a defensive counterattack.

As soon as Andrew reminded, the New York Knicks players quickly returned to the defense, and even Danilo Gallinari had no time to complain, so he immediately returned to the defense.

When Ibaka gave the ball to Westbrook, Westbrook wanted to play a defensive counterattack. As a result, the four New York Knicks had already passed the midfield line, so he immediately gave up the plan of fast break and changed to a positional battle.

After halftime, the ball was still handed over to Kevin Durant.

This time Kevin Durant went to low singles Wilson Chandler.

Wilson Chandler didn't hesitate at all, he kept looking for physical contact, trying to make Kevin Durant use a little more strength, but even so, he still couldn't stop Kevin Durant from shooting.

Kevin Durant turns around for a jumper.

"Dang." A sound, missed.

"rebound."

Timofey Mozgov blocked Ibaka, took off, grabbed the rebound with both hands, and then gave the ball to Andrew. Andrew did not speed up the game, but chose to play positional warfare. Advantage.

Andrew still dribbled the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, and initiated a pick-and-roll from here.

This time Jeff Green didn't dare to help in the defense, he just delayed with his hands, but it was useless, and Andrew rushed in directly.

Ibaka: (⊙_⊙)?
Don't make up?Ibaka looked at Jeff Green suspiciously.

Jeff Green didn't expect Ibaka to make up for it.

Andrew drove straight in and scored an easy layup.

8:4
Andrew, who scored the goal, raised his mouth slightly. It seemed that he had some unexpected gains. Unexpectedly, they made a communication error. Both sides mistakenly thought that the other side made up the defense. As a result, neither of them made up, allowing him to easily break in and score a layup.

Passing by the two, Andrew said, "Thank you."

Jeff Green: "."

Ibaka: "."

Shrimp pork heart.

Excellent defensive tactics and excellent offensive tactics. The New York Knicks played smoothly in the first quarter. On the contrary, the Oklahoma City Thunder played very uncomfortable. In the first quarter, almost all of their sports shots were shot from the outside. They did not dare to rush in. New York The Knicks are sitting on a 215CM tall big white bear - Timofey Mozgov.

No matter what kind of pick-and-roll Timofey Mozgov faces, he doesn't come out and sticks to his basket.

As for mid-range opportunities, give them that.

What's more, the Oklahoma City Thunder are not allowed in the middle distance this year.

32:23
The New York Knicks led by 9 points entering the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Andrew sat on the bench to rest.

As soon as Andrew took a break, the New York Knicks' offense had problems. Compared with the first quarter offense, it was not at the same level, with frequent strikes and mistakes.

Fortunately, the Oklahoma City Thunder failed to seize the opportunity.

There are more than three points, and the point difference is only close to 5 points.

32:27
"Andrew, play." Coach Mike D'Antoni waved his hand. Andrew took off his coat and walked to the technical table to wait. The Oklahoma City Thunder immediately replaced Kevin Durant when they saw Andrew play.

Kevin Durant took off his coat and also came to the technical table.

Kevin Durant immediately declared war: "The victory in this game belongs to our Thunder, and you will lose."

"Oh!" Andrew replied perfunctorily.

Kevin Durant: "."
