210. You look like a man (2nd update, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket)

At 6:30 in the evening, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Knicks started.

Knicks starting lineup: Marbury, Alan Houston, Shanton Anderson, Tim Thomas, Mutombo.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Outlaw, Randolph, Dale Davis.

Dale Davis beat Mutombo to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers scored first.

After receiving the ball and advancing, Liu Xiu looked at Mutombo, who had gray hair. Not surprisingly, this summer, this veteran of unknown age will become the "superstar substitute" for Yao Ming, who is hyped by the media.

However, after looking at the opponent's movement, Liu Xiu was sure that the Knicks were not as bad as he thought.

It is true that the record of 30 wins and 35 losses is not good, but with the joining of Marbury and the change of coach to Lenny Wilkens, it is already very different. It is better than the Raptors, 76ers, Cavaliers and other teams.

The team's playoff hopes are much higher.

Lenny Weir has 30 years of coaching experience. He is one of the few players in NBA history who has also served as a coach. He has coached a team that won a championship and the best coach. He is the first coach with 1,000 wins in history... and many other titles.

Kensi, his abilities still look pretty good.

Liu Xiu advanced beyond the three-point line, and Marbury stood in front of Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu carefully protected the ball and waited for his teammates to move... Marbury suddenly pressed towards Liu Xiu and charged fiercely.

Liu Xiu was staggered and was accidentally hit by Marbury. Marbury flew out, grabbed the ball, and counterattacked!

Liu Xiu struggled to catch up, but failed to catch up. Marbury counterattacked and hit a layup.

The Lone Wolf of New York exploded at the beginning!

The fans at the scene cheered wildly.

Although they love to cheer for other team's stars, as long as their own stars play well, New York fans will not be stingy with their cheers.

2-0, the Knicks took the lead.

The Blazers resumed their attack. Liu Xiu caught the ball and asked the referee: "Sir, was there no foul on his ball just now? He hit my hand."

The referee tonight is the famous double-A referee Andrew Andy. The big brawl between the Knicks and the Heat was largely due to his too loose call standards.

He was worried that Liu Xiu would treat Marbury more roughly later and cause a conflict, but he still had some expectations.

I didn’t expect Liu Xiu to complain so calmly and politely...

Andrew Andy counted down five seconds and responded: "What I saw was that you were intercepted."

Curling his lips and shrugging his shoulders, Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes again and returned the serve as if nothing had happened.

After Liu Xiu reached the three-point line, Marbury tried to use a collision style to tackle Liu Xiu again, but the rush was fruitless. Liu Xiu dropped down again and the ball was protected more firmly.

"Rookie, respond to my defense and scoring like a man!" Marbury posted trash talk to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu ignored him, passed the ball to the outlaw, and then cut inside.

Marbury's defensive attitude was very good. Liu Xiu cut into him and immediately followed him. After reaching the low position, he used rough movements to try to get around Liu Xiu to prevent Liu Xiu from receiving the serve.

Liu Xiu pushed Marbury away with his arm, took half a step to the top line, and pushed Marbury behind him.

The Outlaws hit the ball with perfect timing.

Liu Xiu received the ball and turned left. Mutombo was a little slow to recover from the right baseline. Liu Xiu succeeded in a layup in front of the basket!

Aggressive Laman!

"You are very much like a man, I don't have to be like a man." After Liu Xiu said this, he turned around and retreated.

Marbury didn't react for a moment.

After understanding this, Marbury was furious!

humiliation!

This rookie is humiliating him!

Marbury received the serve and made a murderous push.

It is impossible to fight. If there is no need to curse, it is best not to do so. He is a college student and a civilized person, how can he fight and curse casually?

Marbury advanced to the outside of the three-point line, and Liu Xiu stepped on the three-point line to defend. Marbury lowered his center of gravity, and his breakthrough posture was somewhat similar to Liu Xiu's, both of them changing directions in front of the body.

Marbury had already simulated in his mind how he would pass Liu Xiu, how he would score, and how he would respond with words to what Liu Xiu just said... "Wow... Hiatt"...

As soon as Marbury made his first horizontal pull, he felt as if he had been hit by a cow. His whole body was flipped to the floor and slid half a meter.

The referee's whistle sounded promptly.

Marbury fell to the floor and felt a lot of pain, but it wasn't the kind of fracture, strain, or the pain of being hit or falling. He was experienced enough to know that it was nothing serious.

But he didn't realize what was going on for a while and flew away... He immediately understood...

"Sir, I didn't commit a foul. I just pressed against him gently. I thought he could be as strong as a man."

Andrew Andy really wants to punish this rookie with two technical fouls!

Is that called sticking lightly?

Andrew Andy saw with his own eyes Liu Xiu's action of hitting him with all his strength!

He regretted it. He had heard that this rookie was troublesome and had a weird temper, but he never expected that he could be so irritable.

Revenge without warning!

At least I can curse in the street, but if it doesn't work, I can just make a fierce expression and yell a few words!

Just do it with a smile on your face?

The Smiling Assassin is not that extreme, he is just a squinting thug.

But, the conflict that Andrew Andy was worried about did not come.

A certain rookie has a great reputation!

In New York nursing homes, it’s normal to ignore things that don’t concern you.

There was only one good guy in the starting lineup, Alan Houston, who ran to pull Marbury up.

Seeing that Marbury was fine, the referee signaled for the game to continue.

Liu Xiu immediately went to stick to Marbury and said: "You hit me, I hit you back, it's even."

Marbury was scared, but after listening to Liu Xiu's words, it seemed that he was not ready to continue to take revenge. He chose to believe Liu Xiu's words, but he did not talk back and actively moved around.

What else can you do if you don’t believe it?

This rookie is a real villain...no, a criminal!

There are still many ways for veterans to adjust their mentality.

Marbury failed to catch the ball at the first opportunity. He was not injured but in pain. Tim Thomas passed the ball to Alan Houston.

Alan Houston received the ball and leaned against Ruben Patterson. He hit a high post and turned over for a jump shot...but was slapped on the forearm by Ruben Patterson.

The ball was knocked away, but Alan Houston got two free throws.

Alan Houston shook his hands and walked to the free throw line, thinking that he would be better off if he shot faster.

He doesn't like free throws, preferring to hit them directly.

His free throws are very stable. In the past two years, his free throws have been extremely accurate, with a hit rate of 90%+. However, he has always had a problem in his career - too many free throws will affect his feel. When opponents foul him, he always rushes. Go with his shooting arm.

Obviously the opponent's strongest individual defender on the perimeter understands this characteristic of his and takes advantage of it.

Alan Houston made two free throws, 4-2, and the Knicks took the lead.

Offense and defense transition, the Trail Blazers attack.

Liu Xiu continued to stay low, and Marbury's defensive actions were still rough.

He's just timid in retaliating for big-move fouls.

He was obviously not afraid of the normal rough defense. The worst he could do was get beaten. The other wolf had already been beaten anyway.

Liu Xiu received the ball very steadily, and the Knicks' attack came quickly. Liu Xiu distributed the ball, and the lawless man cut into the middle to catch the ball and layup... He faced off against the recovered Mutombo again, although he was not blocked.

But the ball didn't go in!

Although Marbury was knocked over just now and the rest of the Knicks didn't help, the confrontation started and the Knicks players made much more defensive moves, and Mutombo's ability to protect the frame was still excellent when he was full of energy.

However, the Knicks' starting lineup is really bad at rebounding.

Liu Xiu grabbed the offensive rebound before Tim Thomas recovered it, got up again, and hit the layup!

Mutombo's 6.7 rebounds per 20 minutes is not bad, and Tim Thomas averages 4.8 rebounds per 30 minutes. His teammates don't know what they should think.

The game started tied at 4-4, and just over a minute passed. It looked like the efficiency of both teams was very good.

But this is just an illusion.

After 4 to 4 in 1 and a half minutes, 6 to 4 in 4 and a half minutes...

Liu Xiu's "self-defense counterattack" foul started the confrontation on the court!

At 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter, Randolph grabbed an offensive rebound and was grabbed by the arm of substitute Kurt Thomas. The referee blew the whistle and gave two free throws, but the game was stopped and the TV station was going to broadcast a commercial.

The score was 10 to 8, the Trail Blazers were 1 point ahead and entered the official timeout, and Randolph had two free throws!
