I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 429

Tonight's showdown can be said to be the one that all viewers are looking forward to.

After the kickoff, Jordan perfectly demonstrated his excellent jumping ability, causing the surrounding audience to exclaim.

"WTF."

"Jump so high?"

"Damn it, this little Jordan from the Knicks is so cruel!"

Jordan picked the basketball into Deron's hand.

Deron, who caught the ball, easily dribbled the ball across the half court with ease in his eyes.

In this game against the Nuggets, he really didn't have much pressure.

He is very familiar with Billups, and he is also very familiar with Iverson.

Facing these two people, Delong has his own insights and tips.

After seeing that his opponent had completed his position, Delong and Su Ye looked at each other.

Su Ye immediately started running quickly outside the three-point line.

Inside, Randolph stepped over and took the initiative to help Deron complete the pick-and-roll.

After this quick pick-and-roll action, everyone in the Nuggets also knew that the Knicks would play the pick-and-roll three-point tactic that they were best at last season.

However, after Su Ye and Delong completed the handover, Billups stepped in front of Su Ye, and he was stunned.

Fake news?

Su Ye didn't get the ball in his hands.

On the other hand, from the outside position, Deron directly used Randolph's pick-and-roll three-pointer.

This fake pass just passed everyone on the Nuggets team.

No one expected that the Knicks would still play this trick.

Iverson immediately became anxious when he saw this tactic.

Isn't this the fake pick-and-roll tactic he played for the longest time in the 76ers? Why is it that the Knicks are also using this tactic now?

In this tactical system, Iverson takes Deron's position.

There are three strong points in this position.

One is a fake three-point pass, but a real three-point pass.

The third point is Randolph's remaining cut inside after the pick-and-roll.

It can be said that this tactic is specially used to play short players on the outside.

Because these players have no way to make up for the inside.

But the good news for the Nuggets is that Deron didn't feel very hot today.

After the three-point shot, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

In the inside position, Nuggets center Nene firmly blocked Randolph, who was running back, staring directly at the basketball, looking for a suitable moment to take off the rebound.

As Nene is also a bouncing monster inside, his jumping ability is also very amazing among NBA centers.

It's a pity that the person who competes with him in jumping is DeAndre Jordan.

A huge figure rises from the ground.

Rather than grabbing rebounds, Jordan prefers to rely on his jumping height and ability to stay in the air for tip-ins.

Jordan grabbed the rebound with both hands in the air, and used the impact of the fall to directly complete the dunk.

In the entire arena, Knicks fans were instantly excited.

"So handsome! Little Jordan!"

"This ball is okay, but it's no better than your brother Hayes."

"Oh my god, why do I feel that the Knicks have a stronger offense after replacing Jordan."

"Maybe it's because this guy's physical fitness is so explosive."

After Jordan helped the team score the first goal, his surrounding teammates also came forward to praise him.

Not far away inside the Nuggets.

The five people stood with their arms crossed and stared at Su Ye.

With just one goal, they all felt it. With Su Ye changing his position, the Knicks' overall play style and rhythm are now more stable.

There are Delong and Su Ye on the outside.

There are Randolph and DeAndre Jordan inside.

Jordan's starting position greatly supplemented Su Ye's ultimate ability at the basket after changing his position.

The emergence of Su Ye on the outside has also changed the intensity of outside defense.

It can be said that the Knicks are now a top-notch team on both offense and defense.

As for the shortcomings, it is only the first game of the season and no one has seen it yet.

On the contrary, Su Ye also glanced at the Nuggets intentionally.

In his eyes, this year's Nuggets are also considered a strong opponent.

Although talking about the Nuggets' top three outsiders this year, two of them are older.

But the Nuggets' main lineup is still very luxurious.

In addition to the Big Three, the starting five also include Gallinari, the big space shooter, and Nene, the inside rebounder.

Also sitting on the bench are Jr. Smith, Kenyon Martin, Al Harrington and many other outstanding blue-collar players.

If the starting lineup cannot widen the point difference, the Knicks are likely to lose points to the Nuggets when the lineup is rotated.

Not only the Knicks, but most NBA teams should have nothing to do with such a luxurious substitute lineup.

After the first attack ended, the atmosphere on both sides was full of gunpowder.

The Nuggets, led by Iverson, Billups, and Anthony, attacked mercilessly in the first quarter.

However, among these three people, neither Iverson nor Billups can compete with Su Ye in a normal team.

So when two people faced Su Ye with the ball, the Nuggets could only call frantically for pick-and-rolls.

After all, with Su Ye's height and weight, he is definitely a heavy tank.

For someone like Iverson, it would definitely be disastrous to run into Su Ye on the offensive end.

When Anthony got the ball and looked up to find that the person defending him was Su Ye, he was slightly startled.

He originally wanted to pass the ball, but suddenly realized that in this quarter, the Nuggets had been avoiding the confrontation with Su Ye.

So he chose to represent the team and face Su Ye.

Let the Knicks know that the Nuggets are not cowards.

After seeing Anthony giving the singles sign to everyone, Billups couldn't help but frown.

"ai, do you think this kid can do it?"

Iverson also fell into brief contemplation.

He has been teammates with both players.

From a fan's perspective, Anthony will most likely not be able to beat Su Ye.

But from the perspective of teammates, Anthony is not without a chance.

Both of them are heavy players, both have striker bodies, and both of them are very skilled in breaking through.

"I don't know, let's see first."

Standing in the distance, Iverson also began to be equally curious about who could win in the duel between these two people.

Carmelo Anthony holds the ball with both hands, steps forward with his right hand, and assumes a triple threat to protect the ball.

If you ask about the player in the league who can best rely on three threats to attack, it must be Melo Anthony.

His superb three-threat skills allowed him to secure the title of "Offensive Kaleidoscope."

Whether it's a three-threat breakthrough dribble, a derivative move after the three-threat, or a three-threat fadeaway.

These are all melon's special skills.

The most difficult thing about Anthony's triple threat is that you don't know when this guy will start.

Sometimes when he suddenly changes his movements as a triple threat, you will find that he suddenly activates and passes you.

Such a quick first step gives him a strong ability to kill with the ball.

Su Ye stepped forward with his right arm and deliberately blocked the opponent's offensive line with his left hand.

Anthony, who was already three threats on the back, tried hard to open up some space.

But he found that Su Ye's arm supporting his waist didn't move at all.

Ok?

Carmelo Anthony was stunned for a moment and tried two more times.

After pushing twice more, Su Ye remained motionless.

At this moment, Carmelo Anthony's CPU is almost dry.

He was famous all over the world for his skills in the West, so how could it be useless in Su Ye?

Since he couldn't bear it, he could only try another method.

Facing Su Ye, Carmelo Anthony turned his back and tried to use his strength to rush towards the basket.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he started to turn around, Su Ye stepped in front of him, reaching out to steal the ball.

Fortunately, Carmelo Anthony reacted quickly enough and successfully protected the ball with a pullback.

He was confused at the moment.

Why didn't Su Ye get shocked by these moves?

Not only that, Su Ye seemed to want to steal his own ball.

Seeing Anthony's stunned look, Su Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Compared with Kobe, Anthony is a slower, weight-based triple threat that is easier to deal with.

The best way to defend against a triple threat is to use your own body to feel the change in the opponent's center of gravity, that is, the arm you hold against the opponent's back.

No matter how realistic the opponent's fake movements are, it is absolutely impossible to deceive yourself about the center of gravity of the body.

It is absolutely impossible for the opponent to make anti-human dribbling actions.

This is also the reason why Kobe rarely used triple threats when he faced Su Ye in the finals.

Because Kobe himself knows it too.

The triple threat thing is of no use to Su Ye.

"continue."

Su Ye deliberately took two steps back.

Trying to use strength to make Anthony realize the gap between the other party and himself.

Anthony also got a little excited when he saw Su Ye relaxing.

Without thinking, a powerful explosive ball hit Su Ye from the side.

Then he quickly stopped the ball, turned around, and took a standard fadeaway jumper.

The whole set of movements is silky and smooth, without any sloppiness.

Even the audience was amazed by the beauty of Anthony's movements after seeing it.

But with such a perfect movement, a big hand appeared in Anthony's field of vision.

The interference caused by Su Ye's quick follow-up defense seriously affected Anthony's critical shooting.

The accuracy of the basketball dropped and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Jordan grabbed the rebound and Deron roared at everyone.

"Quick attack!"

The next second the Knicks quickly organized a counterattack and successfully scored another goal.

The audience felt sorry for Anthony's goal.

"It's a pity, it was so close."

"As expected of Anthony, he can find opportunities to attack even in front of Su Ye."

"It was a really beautiful shot, but it was a pity that it was just a little bit close."

"I feel like the matchup between the two of them is very interesting."

Only Anthony on the court shook his head with a wry smile.

End of first quarter.

On the Nuggets bench, Iverson sat next to Anthony and wiped his sweat with a towel.

"Cameron, how do you feel?"

Anthony was stunned for a moment before realizing that Iverson was going to talk about facing off against Su Ye again.

"too difficult."

"This guy's defense is too good."

Iverson also burst out laughing when he heard Anthony praising his old friend.

But after they finished laughing, the expressions of the Nuggets became a little complicated.

As a new season, both teams have made huge adjustments to their lineups.

The Nuggets focus on offense in the new season.

In the first quarter, they scored a full 30 points.

If this score is placed on any NBA team at this stage, it will definitely give the team a huge lead.

But it’s a fact that people didn’t expect.

The Knicks' offense is even more ferocious.

After unlocking the full firepower of both internal and external offensive ends, the Knicks were full of energy in the first quarter.

Scored 40 points directly.

Ten points more than the Nuggets, who have invested a lot of resources on the offensive end.

Not only that, the Knicks' entire team's defensive ability is not weak.

If it weren't for the Nuggets, I'm afraid the score difference would be close to 20 points in the first quarter.

"10 points."

"Work harder in the next quarter and let's catch up and see."

Billups sat down next to Iverson with a water bottle.

He was already getting older, and he had just played one game, and he looked very tired.

In the high-intensity NBA duel, physical strength has become his biggest problem at present.

As a point guard, Billups is most famous for his defensive ability, but it is obviously no longer good.

As his physical strength declines, his defensive ability will gradually weaken.

At the beginning, he had some back-and-forth against Deron.

But in the second half of the first quarter, the Knicks continued to launch fast breaks. When he was running long distances, it was obvious that his steps were sometimes half a beat slower than Deron.

Everyone on the Nuggets also discovered this problem.

But since they were teammates, they didn't even break it.

As a former champion point guard, Billups himself also knows that he must stand up in the second quarter to help the team chase points and win the game within three quarters.

However, three minutes into the second quarter, the main players from both sides announced their return.

The Knicks actually made another lineup adjustment.

Wilson Chandler, who was originally at small forward, was directly replaced.

The person who replaced him became Beverley, and Su Ye also took advantage of the opportunity to match up with Anthony.

In the first quarter of the game, Su Ye basically broke the hearts of many Iverson fans.

Facing his old teammate Iverson, he hit hard.

Iverson was surrounded from all aspects of offense and defense, including scoring in the first quarter alone.

Su Ye had 14 points, 2 rebounds and 0 assists.

Iverson only had 7 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but sigh, Iverson is really old and can no longer attack.

And Beverley, who was replaced again, is now a famous "mad dog" in the NBA circle, and he never cares about any face.

As long as he is an opponent, he will bite the opponent with all his strength.

Needless to say, the purpose of head coach Prosser coming to power goes without saying.

Against Iverson.

Iverson couldn't help but frown when he saw that the person facing him was Beverley.

He already knew how annoying this guy was from people like Kobe Bryant.

Later, Kobe complained to himself about this guy for more than an hour. Of course Iverson knew how difficult Beverley was to deal with.

But compared to Su Ye, Beverly is more relaxed.

In the second quarter, Iverson hit Beverley's hands as soon as he held the ball.

Beverley put on a posture he had prepared in front of Iverson and kept wagging his fingers at him.

"Come, come!"

"Show me how you beat Jordan."

"Don't let me down, my sweetheart."

Beverly's trash talk also gave Iverson a chill.

He knew that Beverly's trash talk was annoying, but he didn't expect this guy to get into trouble like this.

But it has to be said that Beverley's trash talk is effective.

Iverson, who was unruly and unruly, was ridiculed by someone who was a draft pick in this round and even had a slim chance of playing on the team. He felt angry.

After Iverson dribbled the ball twice to find his touch, he responded with a sneer.

"Oh?"

"Want to see it?"

"Satisfy you!"

Iverson lowered his center of gravity and his dribbling rhythm slowed down significantly.

Then a sudden crossover directly changed the direction of the dribble.

The moment this signature move appeared, it immediately attracted a crowd of Iverson fans to cheer.

Even Beverley was shocked by Iverson's move.

So fast!

This trick is indeed Iverson's special skill. Now after so many years, although he is getting older, his fake moves are still very proficient.

Iverson beat Beverley in one step and rushed directly to the Knicks' basket.

But just when he faced Jordan and wanted to complete the finish.

The ball did not fall into the basket as easily as everyone expected.

Instead, it rolled around in the gap between the backboard and the basket and fell out from the other side.

Iverson also didn't expect that his layup did not hit.

On the side, Beverly saw Iverson stunned, and hurriedly went up to touch up the shot.

"What a cool dribbling move."

"It's a pity that the foundation is a bit poor."

"Go back and work on layups."

After speaking, Beverley didn't even give Iverson a chance to refute, and ran away in stride.

Iverson suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

old.

Really old.

On the other side, Beverley was still frightened because Iverson had just passed him.

They have prepared a lot for this new season.

Beverley has also studied the offensive habits of a large number of perimeter players in the NBA and is always ready to help the Knicks continue to play.

He was particularly thorough in his research on Iverson.

Beverley knew he couldn't guard against the young Iverson.

But now Iverson and Beverley are completely sure to restrain the opponent.

Because after so many years, as age increases, injuries increase.

Iverson no longer has the explosive power he once had.

And a short player without explosive power will naturally have a huge impact on his ability to finish inside.

Iverson is no longer what he used to be.

But Beverly didn't expect that this guy would be so aggressive.

He also decided to provoke Iverson less in this quarter and focus more on defense.

Speaking of research.

Head coach Prosser also has his own ideas.

This game against the Nuggets can be said to be the best game in his ideal world.

The Knicks need to form a new lineup in the new season, and it is destined to take some time to adjust.

And a team like the Nuggets, which has just added a super giant, is the key to testing the team's lineup.

First of all, the Knicks' core position has not changed much except for the departure of Ray Allen.

Their focus in the new season is to accumulate Jordan's inside experience and then develop a fixed lineup.

At this stage, take Prosser’s idea.

Basically, in the first half of the new season, the Knicks can try the lineup in the first two quarters.

Until you find a perfect answer to the problem, then try to work harder in the second half.

And today is a run-in for the Knicks.

He will continue to change the Knicks' lineup in the next period of time until the team has a reasonable chemical reaction.

While the team was still playing on the court, Prosser kept explaining to the players around him.

"Pay attention to Delong and Su Ye's movements."

"In the new season, I want you to start getting used to passing the ball and running."

"We have players like Deron, Su Ye, and DeAndre Jordan, so we should speed up!"
