Chapter 234 Slaughtering Knicks
Tim Hardaway Jr. is definitely one of the inspirational models, and he is also the second generation of inspirational stars.
The pick is not high, the 24th in the first round, it can be said that he has made his way up from the bottom step by step, and now he has finally established his foothold in the Knicks and has become the leader of the perimeter, especially when he has maintained a good scoring momentum this season. Learning from his father, he started to organize the offense. Although he is 6 feet 6 and swings at the 23rd position, his actual effect is similar to that of Xiao Hang. His assists have also increased from 3 times per game last year to 8 times this year. It seems that the blood There is his father's organizational talent flowing in it.
New York is the most prosperous metropolis in the United States, and Los Angeles is quite inferior.
Although Xiao Hang was born in the mountains, he was tired of looking at forests and shrubs, and the gorgeous concrete forests fascinated him like a fascination.
Moreover, the Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden are also known for being generous to away players. As long as whoever plays well, they will cheer for MVP.
When Kobe scored 61 points against the Knicks, he was cheered by the MVP of the fans at Madison Square Garden. After that, James, Curry and other players all enjoyed the MVP of the away fans here.
But today Xiao Hang seems to have this idea, who told him that he happened to be reviewing Kobe's video, didn't it just happen to see the fans cheering for Kobe's MVP, which directly aroused Xiao Hang's desire for insiders.
However, the Knicks players are not so easy to deal with. In addition to Tim Hardaway, the Knicks also have the inside pillar Porzingis, three-point shooter Hezonia, defensive gate Cornett Lee, true False answer Trey Burke, as well as Knox, Mudiay, Mitchell Robinson and other outstanding rookie players.
This season, the Knicks are temporarily ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. Although they have lost and won, they are much better than last season without Porzingis. Especially Hardaway's more and more mature performance, the Knicks are considered to be behind. The Anthony era has another chance to make the playoffs.
Isaac has met his opponent on the jump ball again. The Knicks' second-round pick last season, Mitchell Robinson, is a good high jumper, coupled with a 7-foot-1 height and a 7-foot-5 wingspan, although he is only 225 pounds thin The same weight as Xiao Hang, but the shoulders are wide enough. Last season, he was not thick on the defensive end. He has a big cap that covers the sky and the sun. He is already a popular star of the Knicks. The coaching staff promoted the starting center, and in order to protect Porzingis, he was placed at the power forward position.
Last year, Xiao Hang's rookie Knox served as the Knicks' starting small forward, holding the ball and giving it to Mudiay.
The original starting point guard for the Knicks was Ntilikina, the No. 17 rookie in 8. However, Mudiay's mistakes are already explosive enough, and this one is even more awesome. Although Mudiay makes many mistakes, his organizational skills are still good. Restricted by the Knicks to 20 to 25 minutes of playing time, his turnovers will become uncontrollable after more than 30 minutes.
Hardaway received the ball, faced Xiao Hang, dribbled the ball with his right hand, and suddenly accelerated.
Before he was famous, Xiao Hang would not come to take special care of him, but now it is different, Xiao Hang's current role is the same as that of Leonard in the past, and he specially teaches the opponent's arrow character.
But Hardaway is not easy to mess with. After all, he is taught by Mr. Ka 4 times a year in the East.
Xiao Hang smiled slightly, and when Hardaway broke through to the right, Xiao Hang took a step, and then reached out from behind to directly steal, speeding up the fast-break dunk.
Hardaway continued to control the ball, received a screen from Porzingis, and went inside, Xiao Hang and Isaac double-teamed.
Forcibly shot, without Xiao Hang grabbing the rebound or fast break.
Hardaway dribbled the ball and came again. At this time, his head was already sweating. He failed to attack two consecutive goals, which put a lot of pressure on him.
Still cooperate with Porzingis, after the pick and roll, pass the ball.
"Pa—" Xiao Hang seems to be the roundworm in Hardaway's body. After the screen, it is a good pass.
Hardaway seems to have realized that Xiao Hang's defense seems to be more terrifying than Teacher Ka.
Before the Spurs, Mr. Ka was restricted to focus on the offensive end and put more energy on the defensive end. In the Raptors, he now focuses more on the offensive end. The defense team is good. Mr. Ka relies on the good defensive habits trained by the Spurs , can still play a good defensive effect, but it is much weaker than that of the Spurs.
However, Xiao Hang is different from Teacher Ka. Teacher Ka was still a rough guy in college, but Xiao Hang is already an elite offensive and defensive player. I have to say that Popovich's training is really awesome, and Xiao Hang's shooting is more stable. , In terms of scoring, Popovich doesn't have to worry about it.
Hardaway was a bit guilty at first. He was originally an inspirational type and became stronger from the beginning. He didn't have the domineering nature of a natural strong man, and he didn't expect to be assigned in the first quarter.
Xiao Hang scored 13 points in the first quarter, while Hardaway took 7 shots and only scored 4 points.
Fortunately, Porzingis suppressed Isaac. Isaac has never faced a particularly strong opponent before. Porzingis from Latvia, as a descendant of the Slavs, is really talented in basketball. Isaac Ke only made 3 of 1 in the first quarter, scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and sent 1 turnover.
But Popovich quickly changed his strategy. In the second quarter, Isaac was in charge of facing Kanter.
Kanter was originally Plan B for Porzingis' injury, and now he can only return to the bench. He can only play the opponent's bench to score points.
Unexpectedly, Ade hadn't made a move yet, and asked Isaac to blow up Kanter first.
Don't look at Kanter's strong footwork inside and his weight. He scored 4 points in 6 rounds against Isaac, and his efficiency is really high.
However, Isaac has a range, especially when he used a one-step shot. A group of accurate ones, the same four rounds, scored 3 goals, of which Isaac made 2 of 2 three-pointers, and also cut dunks and scored 8. point.
It is the tradition of the Spurs to develop strengths and avoid weaknesses. Players like Kanter who have no defensive ability and obvious shortcomings can only be targeted to death by the Spurs, and Isaac also regained his vitality and confidence by beating Kanter.
Alder and Gasol greeted Porzingis in turn. Anyway, Mitchell Robinson does not have the ability to attack independently, just defend the backcourt well.
112 to 92, the Spurs won a 20-point victory, and the seventh place in the Eastern Conference is still not worth seeing at first glance in the Western Conference.
Xiao Hang scored 31 points, which was far from the standard for the New York Knicks to be named MVP.
Who told the Knicks how not to beat it?Before I could exert my strength, the Knicks went down, and Xiao Hang played for 31 minutes, averaging 1 point per minute.
After winning the Knicks, the Spurs finally won their four consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference. No one thought that the Spurs would be able to win all games.
And the next opponent is the Warriors. This is their first match this season. How can the Warriors without Thompson play against the Spurs without DeRozan?
