NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 307 308. Mysterious Operation (One More)
April 10

After two days of rest and adjustment, the Bobcats will fly to New York to challenge the Knicks away.

The Knicks' coaching staff has also undergone a complete reshuffle this season. The current head coach of the Knicks is former Pistons champion coach Larry Brown.

And in the summer offseason, the Knicks also got Eddie Curry, known as the little shark, from the Bulls.

With Marbury and Crawford on the outside, this Knicks lineup can be said to be very strong on paper.

And the Knicks also poached Kunyan Richardson from the Suns, the three-point leader in the league's three-point contest last season, which can be regarded as providing a stable three-point firepower for the outside line.

But even so, after the start of the season, the Knicks lost to the Magic and the Cavaliers successively, and are currently suffering two consecutive losses.

The team's coaching changes and reinforcements seem to have failed to get rid of the Knicks' bad luck as a bad team.

Therefore, the Knicks urgently need to win a game at home to stop the current decline.

During the two days of rest for the Bobcats, the players also fought in groups under Montgomery's urging.

After all, the Bobcats have practiced shooting for a long time in the offseason. What the players lack the most on the field is field experience and mutual understanding.

Facing the Knicks in this game, in terms of strength, there is a big gap between the Pistons and the Nets.

Although the Knicks are still strong on paper, Liu Rui knows very well in his heart that it is difficult for this Knicks team to become a big player.

Larry Brown is a head coach who pays great attention to defense, but these people in the Knicks are all offensive players.

Even if you search with your fingers, you can't find a few who can defend.

So in a sense, the melody of this game will be a battle between the two sides.

Whoever can play more smoothly on the offensive end will have a great chance of winning this game.

After all, anyway, the Knicks do have Marbury, Crawford, Shark Curry and other inside and outside players with very strong singles ability.

After the opening, the two sides also announced their starting lineups for the game:

Bobcats:
Mo Williams, Joe Johnson, Granger, Wallace, Okafor.

Knicks:
Marbury, Crawford, Quinyan Richardson, Frye, Shark Curry.

This season, Frye has been reused by Larry Brown.

But it's not that Frye is the type that Larry Brown likes. On the contrary, Frye is a three-point shooter who can open up space, but his personal defensive ability is extremely poor.

It's just that when he was in the Pistons, Larry Brown was used to letting Rasheed Wallace stand outside the three-point line on the offensive end. After all, Roaring Tianzun has the ability to shoot outside the three-point line.

When it comes to the Knicks, even the inside starting center Shark is an offensive center with extremely poor defense, which also makes Larry Brown's rhythm run counter to the entire Knicks in the first two games.

The team played like a game of loose sand, which is why they lost two games in a row.

It is also Larry Brown's helpless choice to reuse Frye and Shark Curry inside. After all, these are the only people the Knicks can use. Without them, the personal abilities of the rest are simply worse.

Because the two rookies in the past two years, Ariza and David Lee, were both drawn to the Bobcats by Liu Rui, which can be regarded as a serious injury to the Knicks...

After the opening, the Knicks, who got the ball first, played very simply on the offensive end.

Frye and Richardson stood outside the three-point line respectively, and made three-pointers when they received the ball and had the opportunity.

For the rest of the time, Marbury, Crawford, and Shark Curry, no matter who gets the ball, these three basically act as a personal singles show.

It's not that Larry Brown doesn't want to execute tactics, it's just that these people have such self-confidence as soon as they get on the court.

Leaving aside their personal abilities, this kind of confidence is born immediately after receiving the ball. If you don't want to play alone, he really can't control his hands! !
After the Bobcats experienced a loss with the Nets, the Bobcats put a lot of pressure outside the three-point line as soon as the game came up.

After all, whether it is Marbury, Crawford or Richardson, the three are not known for their defense, and even their defensive ability is extremely inefficient in the same position.

This also allowed the Bobcats to get a lot of shots from beyond the three-point line.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats played on the road with:
28:24
Leading the Knicks by four points, it ended the first quarter.

In the first quarter, the Bobcats were full of firepower. Facing the Knicks' defense, the average Bobcats still beat the Knicks into a sieve.

It seems that the so-called coaching change did not lead the Knicks out of the quagmire.

In the second quarter, the two sides competed with each other's bench lineups, and the Knicks were no match for the Bobcats.

The biggest guard of honor for the entire Knicks on the bench is rookie player Nate Robinson.

After Xiaotuo was selected by the Knicks in this year's draft, he also showed a strong desire to attack. Coupled with his relatively strong physical fitness, he also got a good playing time.

But compared with the Bobcats' bench, the Knicks are not quite enough.

The Bobcats substitute, led by Kevin Martin and Jefferson, one outside and one inside, can be said to have very strong offensive firepower.

Coupled with the defensive wing Ariza, this can allow the Bobcats to maintain a good strength on the court when they rotate the lineup again.

So as soon as the second quarter came up, the Bobcats quickly established a lead.

The management of the entire Knicks can be said to be very chaotic at present.

The operation of the offseason is also puzzling. They always sign some messy contracts. When they come to the team, they don’t have much playing time. After playing, they don’t play very well, but their salary is really quite a lot.

This mysterious operation also surprised Liu Rui.

By halftime, the Bobcats had extended their lead to 14 points to:
62:48
The first half of the contest between the two sides ended.

Back in the second half, Liu Rui also took this opportunity to carry out more player rotations.

Try to match different lineups, and find the running-in between each lineup in a real game.

After all, it is rare to meet a weak team like the Knicks, and the Bobcats have a high probability of winning the game.

So Liu Rui also regarded the Knicks as a living target, and was going to do some experiments in the second half.
