Chapter 144 Ouch, Ouch, I Missed the Penalty
In the first quarter, according to the old rules, Lin Yi was replaced by D'Antoni after six minutes of playing.
The on-site director mischievously gave a close-up of "Gorilla" Ewing who came to New York with the team. As a Knicks legend and current mentor of "Warcraft" Howard, Ewing was covering his head with his face covered.jpg expression.
Howard played 9 minutes in the first quarter, and Van Gundy replaced him. After studying this New York team, he believed that restraining New York's bench lineup was the key to the Magic's victory.
In the first quarter, "Warcraft" made 2 of 5 shots, 1 of 4 free throws, 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Mentor, Ewing suddenly felt that Ji Sheng was really sad...
The said "rabbit jump"!
What about the gorgeous little hook you talked about?
It's been so long since the season started, and Ewing hasn't seen any improvement from Howard, the "technical loser". See how elegant Lin Yiren played?
As a former Knicks senior, Ewing is very pleased that New York has such a center. Although there is a lot of controversy about whether Lin Yi is a center, but you don't care, Lin Yi plays well!
But why can't Ewing teach Howard's center skills no matter how he teaches?
With such a good physical talent, Ewing was very worried when he saw it.
In fact, Ewing didn't notice that Lin Yi also scored 2 of 5 in the first quarter, with 5 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 block. The statistics are really not much different from Howard's.
Sure enough, playing handsome is king.
...
In the second quarter, New York sent Lin Yi, Harrington, Gallinari, Belinelli, and Louis Williams.
The Magic are also unambiguous, using Howard, Barnes, Pietrus, jj Redick, and "White Chocolate" Williams to deal with it.
"Van Gundy really came prepared. His bench lineup is to restrain the Knicks' transition offense in the second quarter, right?" Kenny Smith threw the question to Barkley.
"That's right, use Howard to limit the penalty area, and the other four will target the Knicks' pitchers. Let's see how the Knicks will respond in the second quarter." Barkley said while reporting the score.
The Knicks trailed 19-21 in the first quarter.
The Knicks kicked off in the second quarter. The Magic's lineup during this period was really good. Matt Barnes was a long-time fritter, and Van Gundy used Barnes to deal with Lin Yi in the second quarter.
His thoughts are the same as "Zen Master". Da Fan doesn't expect Barnes to cause any trouble for Lin Yi, just limit Lin Yi's activity area, prevent Lin Yi from playing too easily, and easily mobilize the entire Knicks team That's Da Fan's real purpose.
Pietrus, nicknamed French Jordan, is an offensive treasure chest in the French national team. However, in the NBA, Pietrus can only be a 3D player. He has outstanding physical fitness, can move and bounce, and can fill up the empty space on the field at any time Defend.
This season, Pietrus averaged 87 points per game, scoring basically by three-pointers, averaging 41 shots per game, and shooting 38%. He is a good spot-up shooter.
In addition, JJ Redick is an important firepower point in the Magic's bench lineup. This season, he made 40% of his three-pointers. Although he is not as good as he was in college after entering the NBA, Redick's three-pointers are still there.
As for "White Chocolate", he is now an "Old Chocolate". Excellent ball-handling plays a pivotal role in the Magic's bench lineup.
The biggest feature of this Magic is the three-point accuracy, and then rely on the defensive system established by Howard to counterattack.
...
As soon as the second quarter started, Lin Yi hit Barnes with a drift and a backward hit!
Hi Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden, so handsome, so handsome!
Eli Manning couldn't help standing up and applauding Lin Yi, and Spike Lee also performed an impromptu dance. Elizabeth Olsen now feels more and more that the baseball hit in the summer was really good, Lin Yi's appearance , is really cool...
Only D'Antoni and the Knicks' coaching staff frowned.
Because Lao De knew that whenever Lin Yi used this difficult offense to end the game, it meant that the Knicks' offense had problems.
The defense of the Magic tonight can be described as airtight. They know what the Knicks want to do, so they just want to cut off the connection between Lin Yi and the other four. Even if you Lin Yi kills me, I will admit it.
The greatest power of the one-star four-shot tactic is precisely relying on Lin Yilai to drive his teammates, which happened to be restrained by the Magic.
But Lao De just frowned slightly, because you have your Zhang Liangji, and I have my wall ladder.
21 to 21, after Lin Yi hit this amazing drift and fallback, the Magic just lobbed the ball to Howard inside, and Harrington, who was marking Howard, adopted foul tactics.
Harrington's foul was undisputed. He couldn't stand Howard, so he fouled.
But then, as soon as the Magic kicked out the sideline kick, Belinelli fouled Howard...
Big Van Gundy looked confused, huh?
Howard himself also became nervous. Now the NBA has not changed the rules for the "slashing tactics". The reason why the Knicks want to quickly enter the fourth foul is very simple. Their plan in the second quarter is to take turns fouling and send Howard to the free throw line.
Sure enough, the Magic kicked out the sideline again. Howard received a pass from his teammate. When he was about to turn around and throw a shot put to attack, Lin Yi, who switched defenses, directly pulled him down. Lin Yi was very gentle when he pulled. Helped Howard up.
"The hacking tactic is here! The Knicks are going too far in the second quarter!" Kenny Smith teased.
"Who made it impossible for Dwight to make free throws by himself? I heard that someone suggested that he use the 'piss pot' free throw posture, but he refused." Barkley also took the opportunity to mock.
In the finals of last season, someone suggested that Howard change his free throw action, but how could the arrogant "Warcraft" agree?
Wouldn't it be better to let him "take the urinal" than let him die?
Face is something that is sometimes very troublesome.
...
Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden booed as Howard went to the free-throw line for a free throw, and the boos were clearly overshadowed by laughter.
"Hey, look at this free throw posture, Lin, doesn't he think that free throws and Super Mario are a game?" Wilson Chandler complained to Lin Yi beside him as he walked towards his rebounding position .
"No, no, Wilson, you don't understand, it's called a happy free throw," Lin Yi said.
"It makes sense. After all, the roof of the Empire State Building is too cold. It's better to play indoors to keep warm, happy and happy." Wilson Chandler added.
Fuck!
"Warcraft" looked confused, Lin Yi and Chandler were talking about cross talk when they sang together?
Go Peat Super Mario, go Peat Happy Free Throw, go Peat Donkey Kong!
Howard calmed down. He knew that his opponent was interfering with him, so he decided to use humming to relieve his psychological pressure.
"My God, he hums this song. I've heard it on my mother's CD hits." Wilson Chandler took the opportunity to make up for it.
Howard felt like he had suffered 10,000 points of crit damage.
Go peat's cd golden song, labor and management are humming Taylor's new song!
Is my taste that bad?
Howard quickly cleared his mind. In fact, after he started preparing for free throws, Lin Yi and Chandler stopped complaining.
But don't tell me, the Super Mario game really appeared in Howard's mind, and then the image of him standing on the top of the Empire State Building and roaring appeared in Howard's mind...
No, Dwight, don't be distracted! They are talking trash, they are trying to interfere with you!
penalty!
Penalties are the best response to them!
Howard's first free throw!
Very decisive, and the rhythm of the shot is also very smooth. Although the movement is a bit twisted, the arc flies very straight!
There are ghosts.
Three, three non-stick!
The New York Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden couldn't help it. Even Elizabeth Olsen, who didn't know much about football, was sitting on the sidelines and laughed.
Out of the corner of Howard's eye, he could just see the blond beauty on the sidelines giggling non-stop, "Warcraft"'s face flushed instantly, although you couldn't tell whether his face was red or not...
Free throw violation.
"Dwight is really a player full of joy and joy." Kenny Smith said.
"Now the Knicks fans are the ones who can feel the joy most directly?" Barkley joked.
So amidst the joyful laughter of the audience, Howard made the second free throw.
Basket: Sorry, this free throw is too ugly, I refuse! Ugly reject!
It's three non-stick again!
Two free throw violations!
This time, Lin Yi, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't hold back.
Howard's free throw is really... js3v3
