Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After a sigh, coach D'Antoni replaced Anthony and Billups and put them on the bench. There was not much time left in the first quarter.

At the same time, the 76ers also began to change the lineup.

In the last moment, the Knicks were still at a disadvantage, mainly because they sent away too many excellent players, and the remaining strength was limited.

On the 76ers side, even if the main players such as Qin Hao and Iverson are replaced, there is still a whole set of substitutes. Lou Wei, Holiday, Yang and others are also good.

So when the first quarter is over, it's 10 points off.

"I was 10 points behind in the first quarter, and it's over again today."

"What's the matter, can't even the 76ers play? If it goes on like this, it's a question of whether it can make the playoffs."

In the audience, the Knicks fans were very upset and disappointed.

Although the Knicks had a poor record during this period, the fans were a little nervous before the game, but they were 10 points behind in the first quarter, which was too depressing.

Knicks rest area.

A group of players sat on the bench, no one spoke, and fell into collective silence.

Stoudemire stared at the court with lost eyes. Anthony had a water bottle in his hand but didn't drink water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Trailing by 10 points in the first quarter, they were hit hard.

"Let me tell you." Coach D'Antoni clapped his hands, but saw the players look lost, he raised his face and shouted: "This is the end of the first quarter, what are you doing like this? Are you going to admit defeat?"

"Of course not." Xiao Si muttered.

Anthony raised his head and said bitterly: "But coach, I really can't figure it out, we are working hard, why are we still behind so much? What are we going to do?"

D'Antoni sighed.

In the final analysis, it is still the unreasonable lineup configuration, the management is greedy for the big, and only wants to form a "Big Three", how can it be thought that the Big Three are incompatible.

In fact, the management can't be blamed entirely. They originally thought that Stoudemire and Anthony were in charge of scoring, and Billups was in charge of organization. Isn't that good?

The result can be...

"Okay." Coach D'Antoni said: "All cheer me up, this is only the first quarter. We must defend well in the future. If you don't want to lose, give me a little bit of positivity. To chase points, To counterattack, you have to build on excellent defense, don't always think about scoring, you have to defend first."

The last sentence is for Anthony and Stoudemire.

The reason why coach D'Antoni has a headache, in addition to the incompatibility of the players' style of play, is that Stoudemire and Anthony scored sharply, but defense sometimes makes people speechless.

It's not that he has no defensive ability. If you are serious, one defense and one defense, Stoudemire and Anthony can defend very well, but the problem is that when they fall into the system, they need to assist in defense and defense, such as defending the opponent's pick-and-roll and defending the opponent's air. Cut... At this time, Stoudemire and Anthony will not focus.

So it's not that they can't defend, it's just that they don't have good defensive habits.

After all, Stoudemire used to play "run-and-gun" in the Suns. The Suns' defense was sloppy. Winning the game depended on "唰唰唰" and "哐哐哐". He stressed that "offensive is the best defense, as long as you score better than your opponent." More, defense is not a problem."

And Anthony is known as the "offensive kaleidoscope", he loves to score, enjoy scoring, but not very interested in defense.

"Come on, play hard." Coach D'Antoni waved his hand and signaled the players to come on the court. Thinking of this gave him a headache.

The second quarter begins.

After entering the second quarter, the Knicks' defense has been strengthened, but many problems have not been improved, and they are still at a disadvantage.

Especially when Qin Hao and Iverson returned to the court, the two made breakthroughs in succession, targeting Stoudemire, rushing to make Stoudemire's foul.

In a short while, Stoudemire got 3 fouls on his back, and coach D'Antoni had to replace him.

After that, led by Anthony and Billups, the Knicks could only chase hard behind, but the score difference remained more than ten points. Until the end of the first half, the 76ers led by 14 points.

"What are you doing, you are 14 points behind."

"It's over."

It was only half-time, but the confidence of the home fans was almost gone.

At the same time, the morale of the Knicks also plummeted and fell to the bottom.

"This can't be done." Coach D'Antoni frowned, pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, summoned the players, looked at Anthony and Stoudemire, and said, "Cameron, and Amare, we are now 14 behind. From the point of view of the first half, it is very difficult for us to come back like this.”

"To reverse it, we have to give it a go."

Stoudemire and Anthony raised their eyebrows and looked at the coach.

Coach D'Antoni took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you two unrestricted firing rights, don't care about cooperation, tactics, as long as you think you can fight, then resolutely fight."

From the first half, it was difficult for Anthony and Stoudemire to get along, and Coach D'Antoni was also ruthless. If that's the case, then let you both fire endlessly.

Anyway, it's up to you two.

Hearing this, Anthony and Stoudemire were both taken aback, they looked at each other, and then agreed: "Yes, coach."

......

The second half begins.

Both sides sent the main lineup, but the Knicks' starting center Jeffries did not, and it was Sean Williams.

boom!

The 76ers attacked.

Stoudemire took the rebound and passed it to Billups. Billups took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Anthony ran back and came to the three-point line for the ball. After getting the ball, he changed direction and made a breakthrough. With his excellent body The quality squeezed Brand away, hugged the ball and rushed to the basket, found a confrontation in the air, and then hit the board.

Dozens of seconds later, the Knicks counterattacked. Stoudemire rushed to the frontcourt. After getting the pass from his teammate, he did not pause or wait for his teammate to be in place, and rushed directly to the basket.

Nei's head jumped, blocked in front, and jumped up quickly, with a "bang", the two collided, and Nei was knocked away, Xiao Si roared and threw the ball.

beep!

Swish!

The whistle blows, the ball goes in.

The referee pointed to Nene, gave him a defensive foul, signaled Stoudemire to go to the free throw line, and another penalty.

"Gan." Nene cursed in a low voice, a little depressed.

Qin Hao looked at Anthony and then at Stoudemire. He couldn't help frowning. The two attacks on the Knicks were very simple. It was either Anthony's singles or Stoudemire's singles. "Position attack" and "running and shooting", just do it with the ball.

But the efficiency is very high, and the difference has been reduced to ten.
