The Way of the Center

? David Lee admitted that his defense is relatively weak, but that is more limited by his own body. Tian Lai novel "⒉ And An Jie didn't make any physical contact with David Lee just now, but David Lee still let the matchup score easily.

A simple fake fax deceived David Lee into a daze. An Jie was cheering over there, and David Li Ke was a little angry.

"It doesn't matter David! Offensive! We play back on the offensive end!" D'Antoni knew what his leading center was thinking, and he did not expect David Lee to guard Anjie in this game. As long as you can do better offensively than others, what does it matter how many are scored on defense?

Chris Duhon took possession of the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. As soon as he passed the center line, Westbrook posted it.

Van Gundy knows that the Knicks' small guard is limited. If he continues to be pressurized, it will disrupt the guard's offensive organization.

So he told Westbrook to use a half-court defense against Duhon!

Facts proved that Van Gundy's approach was extremely correct. Under the entanglement of Westbrook, the skinny Duhon was directly forced to interrupt his dribble!

In order to prevent mistakes, Du Hong hugged the ball with both hands and avoided Westbrook's steal. Westbrook also did not persevere and tried his best to force Du Hongsheng to make mistakes without fouling.

Fortunately, Knicks small forward Wilson Chandler arrived in time, which gave Duhon a chance to pass the ball. It was very difficult for the Knicks to even keep the ball on their first offense.

Although Chandler got the ball, he turned to face Durant, who was tall and arm-length.

Chandler wanted to break through with his stronger body, but Durant's long arm took the ball out during the march.

Italian Daloni Gallinari reacted quickly and hurriedly picked up Chandler's lost ball.

"The Knicks are so embarrassed. This is the first offense. They have been guarded by the Thunder!"

Gallinari's offensive ability with the ball is not very good, he is more often used as a mobile turret.

So when Gallinari got the ball, he didn't break through again, but chose to pass.

As for to whom the ball will be passed, the answer is already obvious. David Lee had long been leaning on An Jie and raised his hands, preparing for a shame!

"The offensive skills are very gorgeous!" This sentence is not used to describe An Jie, but to describe David Lee who is now holding the ball.

Like An Jie, he is an insider who depends more on technology. Whether it's shooting or back-to-back technique, footsteps or basket hooks, David Lee can be said to be no better than Ann Jason.

This season, David Lee was able to score a career-high 2o.2 points per game, relying on his excellent offensive skills.

He did not head-on with An Jie. He knew that although this Asian was about the same weight as himself, his strength was amazing. In the past, people would marvel at Anjie's power, but it is no secret that Anjie's strength is good after playing nBa for a year.

David Lee did not make senseless attempts. He turned around to the basket with the ball in both hands and started a series of offensive moves of his own.

Surface box? No, David Lee didn't have a face frame, but just like An Jie, after a half-turn, he quickly turned in the opposite direction.

An Jie was not deceived, he has been carefully observing the footsteps of David Lee. Now it is difficult for Da Meng himself to fool An Jie, let alone a mere David Lee?

Sure enough, this turn of David Lee was the real offensive signal. Although the pace was very fast, Anjie still figured out David Lee's intentions through the details.

Li turned around confidently, ready to shoot the basketball. When he framed his face, he unexpectedly found that An Jie had already taken off, ready to give himself a big hot pot.

If this ball insists on shooting, it will definitely be blocked by An Jie. David Lee had to change his plan temporarily, he just continued to execute his shooting action, and took the initiative to lean on An Jie.

"Dudu!" The referee immediately gave An Jie a foul as soon as the two bodies came into contact.

An Jie raised his right hand and signaled that he fouled, no dispute.

"This guy is still too young. In fact, he has already judged David Lee's next move, but he was anxious and shouldn't take off early." The commentators of various TV stations expressed their regrets. They thought An Jie's iconic "Volleyball Cap" will be staged again. Unfortunately, Anjie met a David Lee who was as smart as himself.

Although David Lee got two free throw opportunities, he was shocked in a cold sweat. The Asian just saw through his mind, completely predicting his actions. If it weren't for his quick reaction and a foul, now maybe he's really going to pick up the ball out of bounds.

An Jie's mood was not affected in any way, and this foul at least provided experience for his next defense.

David Lee made two free throws firmly, and this guy's shooting is as accurate as a guard. Of course, many guards now don’t know what shooting is.

While David Lee was still thinking about how to deal with An Jie later, An Jie took the initiative to find him.

"Come on!" While the Knicks fans were yelling for defense, Katherine cheered for the Thunder among a group of Knicks fans. Because of her man Anjie, holding the ball again!

"Ann attacked with the ball twice in a row. This is rare." Mike Brin looked at it with interest. What is Van Gundy's plan to play? Is it just to attack David Lee?

In fact, according to Van Gundy's tactics, this ball should be played for Durant. But when Anjie received the ball, he found that Jared Jeffries was pulled far away by Krstic, so he decided to make a fuss on David Lee alone.

Durant has no complaints about this, Anjie is not a sticky person, he knows that his strong center will not always occupy the ball. Let An Jie attack one by himself once in a while, so why not? What's more, David Lee is an inside single, and this offensive choice is not bad.

David Lee supported An Jie's strong back with his hands. An Jie was not strong yet, and he could feel that this muscle would definitely burst out with great strength!

"Boom!" As expected! Anjie is not as gentle as David Lee, he sits back viciously, making David Lee very embarrassed.

Usually, An Jie uses softness to overcome strength, but today, the soft side has become David Lee, so An Jie intends to use the "steel" side to defeat his opponent.

Why didn't David Lee know his shortcomings? If An Jie continued to use his force, he couldn't stop him. David Lee's supporting legs moved back slightly, and he planned to let Anjie fall into the trap himself.

When the opponent hit the back with all his strength, he who had tried to defend himself suddenly retreated back, causing the opponent to hit the air and lose his center of gravity. It's not that An Jie has used this trick, and he has used it more than once.

This time, David Lee intends to use this trick on An Jie, hoping to use it to resolve the crisis.

In the second time, Anjie started to work hard, and David Lee retreated in time to make room for a step.

Where's Anjie? An Jie did not fall to the ground, nor did he hold the ball because of the unstable center of gravity. He still stood steadily there. Seeing that there was an empty space behind him, he immediately turned over and shot. David Lee wanted to block the shots, but the distance he gave up and the gap between the heights and wingspan of the two made David Lee. The forward flutter becomes meaningless.

"Swipe." The basketball is hollow into the net. If David Lee knew that Anjie's backs were erratic and fluctuating, then he would definitely not play that kind of cleverness.

One of the reasons why An Jie would be erratic when playing back was not only to confuse the opponent, but also to prevent the opponent from retreating.

The matchup between Anjie and David Lee is actually the epitome of the first quarter game between the Thunder and the Knicks. The Knicks may be able to get a few points with some sudden situations, but this still can't be compared with the stable scoring of the Thunder.

After Anjie "played" two goals, Durant also continued his way of dominating the scoring charts.

David Lee and Jeffries guarded Durant on the inside line at all. An Jie sent him a few good goals, allowing him to cut directly into the basket.

David Lee is indeed very positive, but all he can do is get Durant to the free throw line again and again.

When the first quarter was about to end in five minutes, Anjie held the ball in the high post and David Lee focused all his attention on Durant.

No way, he and Jeffries have allowed Durant to score nine points on free throws alone.

He intends to make up to the designated position when Durant is about to cut inside! In this way, Durant will not be able to get a layup space, and will not cause a foul. If you are lucky, maybe David Lee can make Durant a dribbling hit.

Watching Durant's spare run, David Lee did not dare to relax at all. He has forgotten now, who is his true counterpoint!

An Jie showed that the pressure coming from behind him was getting less and less, so he didn't pass the ball this time, instead he turned around with David Lee as the axis and ran towards the basket!

"Damn it!" After David Lee reacted, he was about to grab An Jie's jersey with his hands. He suddenly thought that he had fouled twice because of Durant, and he was frightened to stop.

After David Lee stopped, no one could make up and stop An Jie.

Where's Anjie? He naturally will not let go of the opportunity to show off in front of the visiting team fans.

Facing the Knicks basket, facing the desperate eyes of Spike Lee and all Knicks fans. An Jie dunked vigorously with both hands, and the entire Madison Square Garden Arena fell into dead silence.

This deduction smashed the illusion of how many people won. Anjie told the New Yorkers with practical actions that the power gap between the Thunder and the Knicks is huge! If you can guard me, Durant will definitely get a chance. You can guard me and Durant, what are you going to do with Westbrook?

Van Gundy is really not good at offensive deployment, but the strong offensive talent of the Thunder's three youngsters concealed this shortcoming of Van Gundy.

After this dunk, Mike D'Antoni had to call a timeout, and he had to make some defensive changes to the Thunder's lineup. Because the first seven minutes of the game has proved that the Knicks and the Thunder are fighting against each other, that is not an opponent at all!

After coming back from the timeout, Durant and Westbrook have been off the court to rest, and the fake Krstic has also sat on the bench.

Seeing Morris and Anjie combined inside, D'Antoni is even more troublesome! Although the rotation started, the Thunder's inside defense has become stronger.

Sure enough, after David Lee was unable to perform on the defensive end, he is now locked up by the former Tornado Twin Towers on the offensive end.

It is rare for David Lee to get rid of Anjie with his footsteps and prepare to attack the rim, but Morris suddenly came out and crossed between him and the rim.

David Lee wanted to pass the ball, but found out that Jeffries did not run out of the open space at all. In desperation, he had to reluctantly shoot, but the basketball failed to fall into the net.

With the tacit cooperation of Anjie and Morris, David Lee's shooting percentage began to decline.

David Lee was the Knicks' first scoring point, only 1 of 5 shots after Morris and Anjie partnered inside. For outside players, this shooting percentage is not qualified, not to mention David Lee is a good insider.

Seeing that the score was slowly expanding ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Van Gundy finally sent Serge Ibaka to let Anjie rest.

David Lee wants to score now, but D'Antoni must also replace David Lee, who has played for a long time. Moreover, even if David Lee continues to play, he may not be able to cope with the combined defense of Morris and Ibaka.

"Little Potato" Nate Robinson came on the bench and the effect was very mediocre. He repeatedly got rid of Sean Livingston's defense and broke into the interior, but faced the tall and massive Thunder in the interior, both black and less than 1.8 meters tall. He naturally has no choice.

From being on the bench, no player on the Knicks can easily play. On the Thunder side, the situation is just the opposite.

34 to 24, when the Knicks fans were sighing, Catherine cheered in her seat, screaming Anjie's name frantically. This has to be placed on the European football arena. Perhaps Catherine has long been beaten by the extremely jealous Knicks fans.

In the first quarter of the game, the Thunder pulled the point difference to double digits. Does this indicate that the Thunder will also have a ten-game winning streak?

The pride and self-confidence of the New Yorkers seemed to become more and more vulnerable under the fierce offensive of the Thunder. (To be continued.)
