NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

In the first quarter, Stoudemire was still the best player in the entire Knicks. He averaged 23+9 in the Suns last season. Today he scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter.

His shooting percentage is also very high. The inside defense of the Wizards is still not enough for a face-frame monster like Stoudemire.

Blatche's talent is too poor, lagging behind Stoudemire in terms of reaction speed and explosive power. Li Kaiming's speed can keep up with him, but his inside defensive attributes have not been improved, and his experience is not enough. Hit several.

The second quarter of the game quickly kicked off in the anticipation of the audience, and both sides took the main rotation players one after another.

The Wizards let Li Kaiming and Yi Jianlian form a space-based insider combination. Anyway, they couldn't prevent Stoudemire, so they simply opened up the space to the maximum. Sanders played the second card at the beginning of the second quarter.

The Knicks' rotation is relatively rigid. D'Antoni is a coach who doesn't like impromptu ideas. He likes to build the team's operating system before the game, and then he can sit on the sidelines during the game and watch the ball he designed The team operates like a precision instrument that fits perfectly.

So his rotation can basically be guessed by anyone who knows the Knicks.

The backup point guard took Tony Douglas. This is a high-quality player selected by the Lakers with the 29th pick in the first round last year. He averaged 8 points and [-] assists per game in his rookie season. Gained a firm foothold, and then became the best candidate for the backup point guard in D'Antoni's system.

The backup small forward is Wilson Chandler, a scoring player who was picked up by the Knicks with the 2007rd pick in the first round in 23.

This guy averaged 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season. If Gallinari hadn't been placed in the 3rd position of the starting lineup by D'Antoni, he could occupy a stable starting position.

The center was replaced by the second-round pick center Roni Turiaf, who was traded from the Lakers, and averaged 4+4 per game last season.

On the Wizards side, due to Nick Young's performance as a war criminal in the first quarter, Sanders finally couldn't help it. He directly pulled the former off, and then pointed at Nick Young on the bench and yelled.

Of course, only criticism is not enough. Sanders replaced Nick Young with Sun Yue, who performed well in the last garbage time. In this way, when the Wizards came up in the second quarter, Li Kaiming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue appeared on the court at the same time. All the Chinese fans stood up!

The game started quickly, and the Wizards served.

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and used Li Kaiming to cover to break through Turiaf. Li Kaiming pulled out to create space for Hinrich, and the rest of them also stood outside.

The Knicks have never seen this kind of offensive formation with five players standing on the outside, and they are still defending on the three-point line according to traditional basketball.

Soon the Wizards taught D'Antoni and the Knicks a lesson.

It was relatively easy for Hinrich to break through Turiaf. After reaching the penalty area, Stoudemire, who was defending Yi Jianlian, returned to the penalty area to help Turiaf suppress Hinrich.

Hinrich flicked the ball out to Yi Jianlian who was open in the corner.

Stoudemire immediately rushed towards the bottom corner, and the shooting guard Landry Fields on the same side also moved towards Yi Jianlian to defend.

Yi Jianlian did not hesitate, and immediately passed the ball to Sun Yue. Fields, who was defending Sun Yue, was transferred away. Sun Yue opened up for a three-pointer and made a decisive shot!

in!

28 is better than 29!

The Wizards lead by 1 point!

The on-site commentator Kate just followed the usual practice and said, "Sun Yue, a substitute player from Huaguo, scored his first point on the field!"

But he didn't know what Sun Yue's goal meant to Hua Guo fans!

In an nba game, two Chinese people appeared, and one of them gave an assist to the other!

In the live broadcast room of the Huaguo Sports Channel, there was already thunderous cheers!

Tears flashed in Yu Jia's eyes, "Finally, this day will be remembered in history. This is a milestone moment in the history of Huaguo basketball. In the NBA, it was the first time that a Huaguo player gave another Huaguo player Sent an assist!"

On the court, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian were also very excited. This was the first time for the two of them to play together in the main match, and they cooperated right from the start.

Li Kaiming and Sun Yi clapped hands to celebrate, and then gave the latter a thumbs up!

Both Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian laughed!

The Knicks serve the ball to point guard Tony Douglas. Douglas's every move is very academic, and it can be seen that he has received very good basic training.

Facing Hinrich, who is much more experienced than him, Douglas can't single out Hinrich with his own ability. After all, he is not the kind of guard who relies on his body to play.

Stoudemire's pick-and-roll is still D'Antoni's tactic to break everything, but this time the person defending Stoudemire has become Yi Jianlian.

After the pick-and-roll, Stoudemire went to the middle, received a ground pass from Douglas, and then shot directly from the middle distance.

Yi Jianlian was a step slower, and Stoudemire made a mid-range shot!

30 is better than 29!

The Wizards still used the cross-age five-out tactics on offense. Sun Yue's three-pointer didn't make the Knicks change their defensive strategy. They still defended on the three-point line without expanding a centimeter.

After Li Kaiming picks and rolls, he rolls out and goes beyond the top of the arc. Turiaf may have seen Li Kaiming's poor three-point shooting tonight, so he didn't follow him. The most important thing is that Li Kaiming is still one step away from the three-point line. Most people would not choose to shoot in this place.

Otherwise, how could Turiaf be a backup center, allowing a new Russian center to grab the starting position directly.

He obviously forgot what D'Antoni said to pay attention to Li Kaiming's three-pointers during the pre-match arrangement.

After several games, the tacit understanding between Hinrich and Li Kaiming grew day by day. Seeing that Turiaf was still standing stupidly inside the three-point line, Hinrich slapped the ball back, the basketball hit the ground, and bounced to the ground. In the hands of Li Kaiming at the top of the arc.

With a familiar rhythm, Li Kaiming shot directly after getting the ball, and didn't even bother to take a step closer to the three-point line.

Turiaf seemed to react, but it was too late. Li Kaiming hit a three-pointer and overtook the score again!

30 is better than 32!

Stoudemire was a little anxious, and hit two consecutive three-pointers in the opposite two rounds. If he continued to fight like this, he would be able to clock out and get off work in a few rounds!

At this time, the advantage of three points compared to two points has emerged.

If it was compiled into a cross talk script, there should be a fat man with small eyes singing "Ah~ three points, you are one point more than two points!"

The sad Turiaf didn't even have his turn to be criticized by coach D'Antoni, and was directly scolded by the team boss Dass on the court!

Of course, this scolding was not really a scolding, but Stoudemire saw that Turiaf didn't defend well and helped him focus.

The Knicks attacked, Gallinari tried to respond with a three-pointer, but unfortunately missed, the rebound was protected by Li Kaiming.

Handed over to Hinrich, the Knicks did a good job of defending against fast breaks, and did not give Li Kaiming any chance to fast break. When attacking, as soon as the ball is shot, it will run to the backcourt without even looking at the frontcourt board.

D'Antoni's pre-game arrangements also played a little role.

The Wizards' consecutive three-pointers finally made the Knicks players pay attention to the three-pointers, and then involuntarily moved their feet out a few inches on the defensive end.

These few inches may not mean much to others, but to Li Kaiming, who is good at breaking through, it may be the process of turning from a quiet path to a highway.

So Li Kaiming began to violently break through the Knicks formation with the ball in the next half quarter.

Lu Xun once said that there is no road in the world, and if there are many people walking, it will become a road.

Li Kaiming's frequent breakthroughs directly blew a hole in the Knicks' perimeter defense. In the second quarter, the Knicks became a team that anyone could break through.

Even Yi Jianlian can shake Stoudemire in the middle distance, and then hit a layup!

Although Stoudemire still wants anything and everything on the offensive end, he can't support a defensive system at all on the defensive end, which led to the overall collapse of the Knicks' defense in the second quarter.

At halftime, the Wizards led 65 to 53 by 12 points!
