Chapter 179

Madison Square Garden is full of stars, and the great director Spike Lee, as the number one fan, is wearing the classic blue and orange Knicks jersey and his lovely round-frame glasses, cheering for the home team.

"It's useless to shout any louder." Tang Wenlong pouted. When he made a free throw, he saw the happy little old man jumping on the side.

"Shh!"

This is his 11th point in a single quarter, and the 76ers lead the Knicks again 25 to 23.

The Knicks also feel very good today. Like Stoudemire, he can not only make a shooting contribution in the middle distance, but when the ball is given to him under the basket, he can jump up and cause damage to the 76ers inside. Gaso It was because of the two fouls made by supplementary defense that he left the game early to rest.

In the confrontation between Tang Wenlong and Anthony, evenly divided, Anthony is still very difficult to defend, especially after the regular game, coupled with his teammates' pick-and-rolls and screens, he can make more changes. In this quarter, Anthony made 9 of 4 shots. , also scored 11 points.

"It seems that Carmelo-Anthony is stronger. Even Tang Wenlong can't guard against him." Yang Anqi turned her head to Fang Chuxia and smiled softly.

Fang Chuxia retorted: "No way, the Knicks can't defend Tang Wenlong either."

Yang Anqi looked at her with "I understand you" eyes, and said with a smile: "Anyway, your Tang Wenlong is the best."

Tang Wenlong didn't finish the first quarter. He spent a lot of energy on the defensive end and offensive end in the first quarter. Collins grasped the dynamics on the court and replaced Tang Wenlong to rest in advance.

Tang Wenlong and Iguodala walked off the court side by side, and asked, "Is Chandler's defense just average? In the Knicks, he can't play the feeling of being the dominant player in the Mavericks."

Iguodala smiled slightly, "The Dallas Mavericks are well-known in the defense league, but the Knicks are a big mess now. Although it can be seen that Anthony is very active in defense personally, the entire team has no system. The defense is all one-on-one, there is no level at all."

Tang Wenlong asked: "The Spurs should be the most defensive in the league."

Iguodala nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why the Spurs have been so stable for so many years is because of their defensive system. Every player who plays under the Spurs system, even if the single defense is a bit weak, can also learn. a lot of things."

Since Duncan entered the Spurs, the Spurs have maintained 50+ wins all year round, not only because of Duncan's stability, but also because of the stability of the Spurs' entire system.Last year, the Spurs were blacked out by the Grizzlies. It was considered the biggest blow to the Spurs in so many years. For the first time, the head coach Popovich considered the direction of the reform of the basketball era, and also smelled the gradually changing fast-paced style of play and The importance of three-pointers.

"Played very well."

High-fiving, Collins, Bob and other coaches gave praises.

The Knicks were beaten by the Heat in the playoffs last season. At the beginning of this season, the Knicks played 7 games with 4 wins and 3 losses. Although they boasted a summer of signings, they did not see much progress.But Knicks fans are still willing to pay to watch Knicks games, because this is New York, one of the four major cities in the world, and there will never be a lack of market here.

Playing against the 76ers, who are currently No. [-] in the league, immediately attracted a large number of die-hard fans. This is the best touchstone for the Knicks.

After the first quarter, the Knicks actually led the 29ers by 27 points 76 to 2, which allowed the fans to see the dawn of victory.

Especially after the bench lineup came up in the second quarter, Tony Douglas suddenly felt the touch. Not to mention the three-pointer from the outside, he could also hit the throw shot from the inside with a crooked body. He even scored five points. The Knicks established a 7-pointer. point lead.

Jeremy Lin should be the one with the most complicated expression on the Knicks bench at this time.

Originally, Bibby's injury and Davis' injury gave him hope of playing the game, but Douglas became a stumbling block on his way forward. The better Tony Douglas performed, the less he could get the chance to play. The future is getting more and more bleak.

Collins called a 20-second timeout to give the 76ers time to adjust.

Although the Knicks are leading, Collins is still very calm in his heart. The Knicks only have so many cards, and he still has a lot of cards in his hand.

Collins thought for a while, and decided to keep the substitute players including Butler on the court. The 76ers want to go further this season. The substitute players must grow up and be able to take on certain responsibilities, and what he is most optimistic about now is to pick the The rookie Butler, at least his defense is phenomenal.

After Louis Williams came on the field, he took the ball and turned around to break through Douglas, took a step back and made a drift jumper.

This shot was too far behind, even Tang Wenlong couldn't shoot like this, the 76ers' bench immediately boiled, Tang Wenlong took the lead in clapping and applauding, and Iguodala took the lead in shaking the towel.

When Tony Douglas attacked again, a guy with black charcoal hair and curly hair appeared in front of him, wearing the No. 21 black jersey, with a serious expression like a judge.

"A rookie to defend me?" Douglas looked disdainful. He didn't think how strong a rookie's defense could be.

But when he was starting his personal breakthrough, he realized how powerful his opponent was. Looking at his not-so-long wingspan, he always gave people the feeling that he would be cut off every minute. No matter how he swayed, the opponent seemed to see through it. The same, unmoved, when the really strong attack started, the rookie caught up quickly, and the two of them confronted each other physically, and the basketball was almost stabbed.

"How could it be so strong? This defense is actually better than Iman?" Douglas was taken aback. He thought Shumpert was already a good defender among rookies, but this guy who came out of nowhere actually played better.

Butler spent four months of special training in the summer, and now the effect is coming out immediately.

As soon as Douglas was locked, the power of the Knicks' bench was greatly reduced. After several rounds, the 76ers caught up with the score instead, and D'Antoni requested a timeout.

After the timeout, with 7 minutes left in the second quarter, Tang Wenlong came on the stage.

"Oh my god, that nasty guy is playing again!" The die-hard Knicks fans who supported the Knicks thought in their hearts and booed unconsciously.

Tang Wenlong replaced Meeks despite boos.

He is often booed by other fans when he goes to away games, and he is used to it, but the booing in some stadiums is louder, and the booing in some stadiums is quieter.

After all, it’s useless to boo again. You can’t play professional basketball without a big heart, and you can’t become a star without concentration on the court.
