Chapter 200: Facing the New York duo

Chapter 200: Facing the New York duo
On January 11, the Warriors played at home against the New York Knicks.

At this stage, the Knicks have a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, ranking tenth in the Eastern Conference.

During the offseason, they introduced Stoudemire in the free market and acquired Anthony through trade to form the New York duo.

It can be said that after the Knicks completed these two transactions, their strength on paper has greatly increased.

If the Heat hadn't signed James and Bosh during the offseason, the Knicks would have been the biggest winners in the free market this summer.

Knicks fans are very satisfied with the signings made by the team management in the offseason and are looking forward to the Knicks' performance in the new season.

But after the start of the new season, the Knicks did not perform as well as they should, and their record was quite poor, which disappointed countless Knicks fans.

In fact, the Knicks fans are not the worst offenders. The worst offenders in the new season are the Miami Heat fans.

Although the Knicks have a strong lineup on paper, coach D'Antoni has yet to find a way to let Anthony and Stoudemire play at the same time.

The Heat, which has the Big Three, also faces the same problem. Someone must make some sacrifices in order to maintain balance and allow the team's full strength to be fully utilized.

This is what the Knicks will have to figure out next.

Facing the Warriors, who started the game undefeated, this game is an opportunity for the Knicks.

If they win this game, it will not only boost the morale of the team, but also restore the confidence of the fans. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

On the other hand, the Warriors will definitely not be willing to become a stepping stone. With the bonus of winning streak, their morale is extremely high, and their desire to win this game is very strong.

Therefore, this high-profile game will spark extremely brilliant sparks.

Returning to the scene, the pre-match warm-up activities of the players from both sides had just ended, and the players returned to the bench one after another.

At the same time, the starting player lists of both sides were displayed on the big screen at the scene.

The starting lineup sent by the Knicks is: Felton, Fields, Anthony, Sean Williams, Stoudemire.

The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is: Curry, Ellis, Sun Yi, David Lee, Tyson Chandler.

Amid the cheers and shouts of the fans, the starting players of both sides came to the middle circle one after another.

Sun Yi stood up from the bench, took off his training clothes, and followed his teammates to the court.

At this moment, the system's prompt voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding! It has been detected that the host is about to face the New York Knicks, and a temporary mission is now issued: compete with the New York duo!"

"Task requirements: After the game, the host must score more than Anthony and have more rebounds than Stoudemire."

"Reward for completing the task: blue ball pants +1, 5 training points."

After the system's prompt voice ended, Sun Yi didn't take it to heart. He felt that the system had been a bit fussy recently and the mission rewards were too few, so he couldn't arouse any interest, so he strode towards the center circle.

After all the starting players arrived in the center circle, the referee looked at his watch, blew his whistle, and threw the ball high into the air.

Chandler and Stoudemire jumped up to compete for the basketball.

Relying on the advantage of height and wingspan, the boxing champion was the first to touch the basketball and returned to the backcourt, winning the first attack opportunity for the Warriors.

Curry quickly dribbles toward the frontcourt while making tactical gestures.

Chandler understood, and immediately made an off-ball screen after running beyond the three-point line, blocking Felton who wanted to step forward to defend Curry.

The elementary school student bypassed the screen and jumped directly to shoot.

Knicks center Stoudemire was running towards the penalty area, not expecting the Warriors to attack like this.

"Shh!"

The basketball crashed into the net and made a steady hit!
0: 3!

The Knicks quickly sent a baseline kick. After receiving the ball, Felton accelerated towards the frontcourt and played a run-and-gun tactic.

The Warriors players quickly retreated, following the man rather than the ball, and followed their defender closely.

After Felton dribbled the ball to the front court, he saw that his teammates had no chance to run out, so he could only turn to the position to attack.

Anthony came to the middle distance area on the right, leaned against Sun Yi and reached for the ball.

In the position battle, the Knicks' first point of attack is undoubtedly Anthony.

Felton, who was in possession of the ball at the top of the arc, passed the ball after seeing that Anthony was in a better position.

Melo received the pass, leaned back, then suddenly released the ball, turned around and broke through towards the basket.

Sun Yi was already prepared for this, and immediately moved laterally to block, sticking close to Anthony's side and heading towards the penalty area.

At the same time, Chandler immediately retreated to the basket and surrounded Anthony with Sun Yi.

Seeing this, Stoudemire immediately cut towards the basket and raised one hand to the sky, signaling Anthony to throw the ball to the basket.

Melo, who was dribbling to break through, did not see Stoudemire at all due to his blocked vision. Under the attack of Sun Yi and Chandler, he struggled to throw the ball.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Chandler rushed back to the basket to grab a defensive rebound, found Curry immediately, and passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Curry accelerated toward the frontcourt. Seeing Felton running forward to block the delay, Curry immediately dribbled from behind to shake Felton away and continued to advance toward the frontcourt.

Fields, who was retreating on defense, saw this scene, let go of his defender, and immediately ran to the three-point line to cover.

Seeing this, the primary school student immediately passed the ball to the best position.

Outside the right three-point line, Ellis received the pass, jumped up quickly, and threw the basketball in his hand.

The shot was short, and the basketball bounced off the front of the rim.

At the basket, David Lee quietly sprang out from behind Williams, grabbed the offensive rebound, then shook Williams with superb inside footsteps, and immediately hit the ball on the rebound.

0: 5!

On the Knicks bench, head coach D'Antoni watched his former disciple wreak havoc in the penalty area and felt a little regretful. He should have asked the team management to keep David Lee in the summer.

Although David Lee's defense stretches his hips, he is considered a good player on the offensive end, and he doesn't need to defend when running and bombing the team.

Returning to the court, Fields dribbled to the top of the arc, made tactical gestures, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

Stoudemire quickly stepped forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

Chandler followed, standing near the free throw line, ready to switch.

After the pick-and-roll was ready, Fields bypassed the screen, got rid of Curry's personal defense, and broke into the three-point line.

At the same time, Stoudemire immediately went down to the basket after blocking the man.

Seeing this situation, Chandler could only choose one of the two, and moved across to block Stoudemire.

Fields took the opportunity to rush into the penalty area, held the basketball high, and made a layup gesture.

Sun Yi, who quickly came back to help defend, was a step slower and stretched his arms to interfere but failed to touch the basketball.

The basketball rebounds into the basket after being hit.

2: 5!

Chandler returned to the basket, picked up the basketball on the floor, and quickly sent the ball out.

Sun Yi received the pass, turned around and advanced towards the frontcourt.

At this moment, Felton suddenly rushed forward and reached out to steal.

Sun Yi was well prepared. When he caught the ball, he noticed Felton's behavior and immediately smacked the basketball hard, causing Felton to miss it. After changing hands, he quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.

Anthony's defensive attention was focused on Sun Yi, so he did not go to defend Felton.

Sun Yigang dribbled the ball across the half court, saw his teammate run out of the opportunity, and immediately passed the ball.

Curry, who ran beyond the three-point line on the right, received the pass, and there was no defense in front of him, so he immediately shot.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

2: 8!

On the Knicks bench, head coach D'Antoni saw a problem with the team and immediately requested a timeout to call the players back to the bench to make adjustments.
