At Christmas, the whole of North America is in a grand festive atmosphere. Many families choose to eat delicious food and get together as a family. Families with a basketball atmosphere gather in front of the TV to watch the NBA Christmas game. Naturally, the choice is between the Knicks and the Golden State Warriors. State Warriors.

Madison Square Garden, the basketball mecca, has long been crowded with people and has become a sea of ​​people. The interior of Madison Square Garden is decorated with a festive atmosphere. Before the game, staff dressed as Santa Claus distributed gifts everywhere, although it may be just a It's a small gift, but the person who gets it is very happy.

It was not so easy in the away locker room. Even though the Golden State Warriors are known as the best team in the league, no one dares to underestimate a team with Gatsby.

With a charming smile on his face, Steve Kerr wished each other a Merry Christmas with the players, and then began to discuss the tactics. The tactics had been prepared in advance, and now it was just an emphasis before the game.

The smile on Cole's face is natural. He pays close attention to Gatsby and knows that Gatsby is indeed the best in the league, but the current Golden State Warriors are too strong and he cannot help but not be confident.

The Golden State Warriors took the lead as the visiting team, and still got a lot of cheers. When the Knicks entered the field, the cheers were overwhelming, especially when Gatsby entered the field. The cheers of the fans almost lifted the roof of Madison Square Garden.

The starting lineup sent by the Golden State Warriors is: Curry, Barnes, Durant, James and Griffin.

Even Knicks fans who have always been confident have to gasp, this lineup is really too strong!
The starting lineup for the Knicks is: Gatsby, Thompson, Harris, Green, Antetokounmpo.

The Knicks fans felt relieved when they saw their lineup. No matter what, we have Gatsby!
Wang Meng sighed: "Every time I comment on a Golden State Warriors game, I can't help being dazzled when I see their starting lineup. It's so luxurious. It's worthy of being the NBA version of the Galaxy Battleship. The most famous player here is Bahn. Si, to some weak teams can be used as the core of team building, how terrible this is!"

Game start.

Antetokounmpo stands on the middle circle and jumps the ball with Griffin. Although Antetokounmpo is thinner than Griffin, he has better height and wingspan, especially the wingspan.

Antetokounmpo first passed the ball to Gatsby, Gatsby caught the ball, and Barnes stopped Gatsby in the first place.

Gatsby quickly pushed the ball into the frontcourt. He was not as worried as the fans and coaching staff. The Golden State Warriors are strong, but when the two sides fight, it is hard to say who will win. If nothing else, just talk about matchups Condition.

The Golden State Warriors have Curry, the Knicks have Gatsby, and the defense has Thompson to deal with Curry.

Barnes is mainly an air cut at this point, and Gatsby can limit it.

James is very strong, the Knicks have Harris to match up, and Durant is defended by Antetokounmpo. Durant's advantage is not a crushing level when facing Antetokounmpo. Inferior to Durant, plus Antetokounmpo is a person who often trains against Gatsby, there is no problem in defending Durant's breakthrough.

Griffin is for Green to deal with. Griffin does not necessarily have the ability to crush Green.

Of course, this is a specific matchup. In fact, the fight is ever-changing and depends on the cooperation and tacit understanding between the two parties.

In this regard, the Knicks will have an advantage. After almost half a season, the Golden State Warriors have basically developed all kinds of tactics. However, although the Knicks team lost Gatsby in the middle three years, everyone else is still there. .

In the previous life, the Warriors let go of Barnes in order to attract Durant. This does not mean that Barnes is bad. He is just worse than Durant. In fact, he is very strong. This is a very comprehensive player, whether it is offense or defense. They are all online, but the personal offense is not top-notch, which is inconsistent with the needs of the Warriors.

In the current lineup of the Golden State Warriors, Barnes only needs to be responsible for the defense, and the rest of the time, he will make some open shots and then make an air cut.

Barnes has quick defensive steps and tough confrontation. He is a player who can defend the opponent's ace. He stood in front of Gatsby. Although he did not show his teeth to provoke Gatsby because of his low-key personality, he closely followed Gatsby. Cibi.

Gatsby gestured for his teammates to run, and Antetokounmpo ran out to help Gatsby with a high pick-and-roll. Antetokounmpo was thin, and his pick-and-roll wasn't very good, but after all, it was Barnes to squeeze through, and it was still slow. A little bit later, Gatsby rushed over, Griffin could only be forced to delay, Antetokounmpo went down the inside, James shrank back and held on, Gatsby flicked the ball to the bottom corner, Harris appeared in the bottom corner , Catch the ball and make a three-pointer.

hit!

There was a buzz in Madison Square Garden.

Everyone in the Golden State Warriors looked calm. They were very confident. They might not be able to defend them, but they were also confident that no one could limit their offense.

Curry dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to James. Thompson followed Curry closely. Finally let Curry find an open space, received a pass from James in the bottom corner, and Curry hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

This is the confidence of the Golden State Warriors.

Gatsby didn't show any emotion. The Golden State Warriors have confidence, and he also has confidence in his heart. In terms of personnel talent, the Knicks are really not inferior to the Golden State Warriors. The Golden State Warriors have three regular season MVPs, and the Knicks also have two regular season MVPs. Game MVP, himself and future Antetokounmpo.

Although Thompson and Harris are not MVPs, they are extremely good as the second-in-command. The basketball game is not something that can be played to the greatest effect by hoarding talents blindly.

Although Thompson, Harris and Green cannot be the stars, they can play a great role in the Knicks' lineup.

Thompson is Curry's defender. Both are the greatest off-ball players. Curry's single defense against the opponent's ace is insufficient, but this kind of defense against off-ball players is also excellent. However, Thompson's off-ball defense is indeed difficult. , he ran around the screen of his teammates. Gatsby broke through and found Thompson in the corner. When the ball arrived, Thompson took off and shot immediately after receiving the ball. Although Curry is not out of position, his height is not as good as Thompson's. , Thompson hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
3: 6!

Madison Square Garden is boiling again. This game is really exciting. The talents of both sides are very good, but the two sides are not selfish at all. On the contrary, they have more team spirit.

Talented, but also united.
