Chapter 152 The Big Heart on the Field
When Curry approached, Billups leaned back slightly, and after leaning a bit, Curry was completely blocked, using inertia to score the ball smoothly!
"That's the experience of a veteran."
"For the ball just now, if Billups didn't rely on it, he might be at risk of being chased."
"This is a detail. Just this ingenious leaning immediately prevented Curry from chasing caps."
In the CV-5 live broadcast room, Su Qun was explaining.
"Now the Knicks are still behind, and many fans may think that at this time, it depends on the performance of Anthony and Stoudemire."
"Actually, it's not. Instead, I think that the neglected Billups is the key to whether they can reverse the situation."
"Because he is the brain of this Knicks team and controls everything on the field. Anthony and Stoudemire are going to execute tactics around him to complete the scoring."
"Especially in such a backward situation, blindly playing singles is not very effective. No matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to fight against the opponent's entire team."
"Unless your state is very hot, like Kobe's game against the Raptors in 06, when he scored 81 points."
"With Anthony or Stoudemire in this state, you may be able to play individual singles all the time, but this state is rare."
"So it still depends on how Billups organizes the team, and on the premise of doing a good job of defense, then think about how to score the ball."
"No matter when, the premise of chasing points is to do a good job of defense."
"Otherwise, no matter how good you are on the offensive end, if you can't defend against your opponent, there is still no way to recover the score."
"Obviously, in the timeout just now, D'Antoni was also aware of this situation, and they made changes on the defensive end."
Zhang Weiping took Su Qun's words and analyzed the current situation of the Knicks.
Looking back, the Cavaliers attacked again, and the Knicks still adopted the defensive strategy of double-teaming Long Rui.
Hixon was emptied again, but Long Rui still passed the ball. This is the most reasonable way to deal with it.
In the last round, Hickson missed a ball because of his own hesitation. This time he became more nervous.
With no one defending in front of him, he passed the ball directly to Yi Jianlian.
"What are you doing? Idiot!"
On the sidelines, head coach Byron Scott looked anxiously and immediately cursed.
Long Rui was also somewhat dissatisfied with Hixon's performance, but he didn't make a sound because he could feel Hixon's psychology at this time.
After Yi Jianlian connected the ball, Stoudemire immediately defended him, and he continued to exert physical confrontation, which made Yi Jianlian very uncomfortable.
Yi Jianlian wanted to attack, but after two tries, he passed the ball to Varejao.
At this moment, it is Sean Williams who is defending Varejao. He is much shorter than Varejao and has a relatively thin body.
He has always been a striker, and it is helpless to ask him to stand up to Varejao. Simply because he has a pair of long arms, he can still play a certain role in interference.
As soon as Varejao saw Williams, he immediately gained confidence. He was bullied by Stoudemire before, and now that the ball is in his hands, he naturally wants to vent.
Facing Williams, Varejao turned his back directly and wanted to play singles.
But on his second dribble, he suddenly felt that his back was empty.
"careful!"
Long Rui hastily reminded, but it was too late.
I saw a figure rushing out from the side of Varejao, stretching out his long arm and breaking the ball!
Williams immediately gave the ball to Billups, and Anthony and Douglas quickly played the first time.
Long Rui and Curry retreated with all their strength, but the frontcourt formed a 3-on-2 situation.
Anthony and Douglas came in from both sides, while Billups went straight to the dragon.
The three launched attacks from different directions at the same time. Long Rui and Curry couldn't take care of it and could only watch the opponent score the ball.
On the rebound, the scorer jumped, and the Knicks scored two more points.
52:58
The point difference was narrowed to 6 points.
There are still 48 seconds left in the second quarter, and each side has a complete offensive opportunity.
"Stephen, you organize it."
Long Rui said to Curry.
Now the Knicks are taking special care of him, causing him to be unable to organize the team's offense well, causing the Cavaliers' offense to stagnate.
Realizing the problem, he immediately sought change.
Afterwards, the Cavaliers sent the baseline ball directly to Curry, and Long Rui quickly ran to the bottom corner, ready to respond at any time.
Curry slowly pushed the ball into the frontcourt, and immediately played a pick-and-roll cooperation with Yi Jianlian.
After the pick-and-roll, the opponent changed defenses, but Stoudemire defended very well. He kept raising his arms to prevent Curry from having room to shoot.
Yi Jianlian immediately slid down. When Stoudemire was pulled out of the inside, the Knicks' basket was completely lacking in height.
At the bottom corner, Anthony immediately went to defend after seeing this, leaving only Douglas staring at Long Rui.
Seeing an opportunity, Curry first threw the ball to Yi Jianlian to attract the opponent's attention, and then Yi Jianlian made a second pass to Long Rui who was ambushing in the bottom corner.
After Long Rui received the ball, Anthony's heart skipped a beat. How could Douglas alone guard Long Rui?
Now that the matter has come to this point, Douglas can only bite the bullet and try his best to defend.
He was a full 10 centimeters shorter than Long Rui, and the strength of the two was also very different. Under such circumstances, it was even more difficult to defend Long Rui than to reach the sky.
Long Rui first made a tentative step, and then took a retreat step and made a direct shot from outside the three-point line.
Maybe the touch is really contagious, the power of this ball is a little bit stronger, and I can't make it.
After Stoudemire received the rebound, the Knicks players immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Now they are in control of the last chance to attack in the first half, and the complete attack time of 24 seconds also allows Billups to organize this attack calmly.
He slowly advanced to the frontcourt, directing his teammates to set up, and Anthony and Stoudemire were ready to receive the ball at any time.
When the shot clock was overwhelmed with eight seconds remaining, Billups went on the offensive.
Anthony and Stoudemire, one left and one right, came up at the same time to make double screens.
Billups used the cover to go to the weak side.
At this time, Stoudemire wanted to make an air cut, while Anthony slipped to the corner and was also ready to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.
Originally, these were two very good choices, but Long Rui saw through their intentions and arranged defenders at two points in advance.
Billups wanted to pass the ball but found that there was no chance at all. With the last two seconds left, he faced Curry's defense and directly chose to shoot!
