In the tenth minute of the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers replaced Adrian Kwilter with Jordan Farmar, which made the Knicks generals breathe a sigh of relief.
When Adrian came off the court, the Lakers were already 36:25, leading the Knicks by 11 points. But the 11-point difference was not the most critical thing. The most critical thing was that they had almost no way to stop Adrian.
Derian got the points he wanted.
He is also a little too versatile...
Emergency stop jumpers, mid-range jumpers, breakthrough layups after fake moves, and small hook shots under the basket after post-ups. Except for three-pointers, there seems to be no scoring method that he can't do.
Is this really the Rookie of the Year in the 2006 class, one of the best point guards in recent years, the successor to Jason Kidd or Billups?
Of course, Adrian only knows these offensive methods and can barely be considered proficient in them, but to say that mastering it has become a unique skill is like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sublimating the hook hand into the sky hook, and has since become synonymous with himself.
, just like Jordan sublimated the turnaround jumper into the signature move of a top shooting guard, just like O'Neal combined his own strength with simple skills to the extreme, developing a shark-style low post that is considered undefendable.
Adrian is really a million miles away.
But Adrian's strong physical fitness is difficult for anyone on the Knicks to match. With his talent and superb stability gained through training, Adrian can still maintain his shooting percentage when he comes off the court.
, he has made 5 of 10 field goals and 8 of 9 free throws, scoring a total of 18 points. This broke Adrian's single-quarter scoring record and also broke Adrian's single-quarter shot record, while making 5 of 10 shots.
, the 50% shooting rate also set a new low in Adrian's career.
This is not because there is any problem with Adrian's touch. In fact, his touch was quite hot today. It's just that there are some problems with some of his shot selections.
Adrian is being willful and everyone can see it!
After Adrian left the game, the Knicks regained some strength. In fact, the Knicks' offense is still good. Eddie Curry, known as the little shark inside, although he is a lazy cheat, but I have to mention
What is true is that he is indeed very talented and powerful, but his laziness and injuries completely destroyed him.
And now Eddie Curry has only joined the Knicks not long ago. Although he has already contracted some very bad problems, and although his lazy personality has been fully revealed, he has not yet become the player who plays continuously in a few years.
There is no way to do it, not even Eddie Curry, who needs heart surgery because he is too obese.
Even at his peak, Eddie Curry was not considered the league's top insider, but facing the Lakers' relatively weak inside lineup, Curry can be said to have shown great power.
Frequent singles were successful inside. At the same time, after Adrian was replaced, the Knicks also replaced Stephon Marbury, who had rested for a while. Stephon Marbury, who returned to play, calmed down a little and was no longer persistent.
As for individual singles, although his ability to organize the team is not strong, he is finally organizing. The Knicks' offense began to become orderly and effective, and soon stabilized the situation of the manufacturer, and started a group
Wave counter attack.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Adrian, who had rested for more than three minutes, took the field again. As soon as he came on the court, he hit a two-pointer directly over Stephon Marbury's head. Then, Marbury attempted to break through Adrian.
An's defense was forced all the way to the baseline by Adrian. Let alone breaking into the penalty area to score, he couldn't even get a shooting space. He had no choice but to pass the ball, but his passing intention was real.
It was too obvious. Vujacic stretched out his hand and directly blocked his passing route to Richardson, and slapped the ball away.
At this time, Adrian had already rushed out, and Vujacic immediately flicked the broken basketball in the direction of Adrian.
Only Crawford of the Knicks had time to retreat and ran about abreast with Adrian, but Richardson followed closely behind and advanced to the free throw line. Jamal Crawford wanted to
Turn around and slow down Adrian's dribbling speed. As long as he delays for a moment, Richardson, who is following behind, can double-team Adrian and interrupt Adrian's fast break.
But Adrian's response was so fast that Jamal couldn't react in time. The moment Jamal Crawford turned around, Adrian suddenly hugged the basketball with both hands and jumped to change direction!
This sudden jump change caught Jamal Crawford by surprise. Not only did he jump over Crawford, he also jumped from Crawford's left to the right. At this time, Adrian was already on the right side of Crawford.
Under the basket, two legs full of explosiveness tapped lightly on the ground,
Jamal Crawford instinctively reached out and grabbed Adrian's jersey. Although he stopped immediately, the bald referee with sharp eyes still blew the whistle without hesitation!
At the same time, Adrian, who was almost unaffected, easily put the basketball into the basket with a layup!
2+1!
"pause!"
Adrian came on for less than a minute and made two consecutive attacks. Thomas couldn't help but call a timeout again!
"Gentlemen, gentlemen? What is going on with you?" Isaiah Thomas shouted angrily: "Tell me what is going on with you? Jamal, Quentin, and you Stephen, each of you
Personally, I made a lot more money than that rookie, but you were beaten like a dog by him! Who can tell me what happened? Did the blue girl No. 3 squeeze all of you dry?
"
"That's enough!" Just when Thomas was shouting, in a luxury box in the Madison Stand, a middle-aged man with a beard frowned and looked at Nick with a bored and helpless look.
Si's bench looked at Isaiah Thomas who was shouting: "This is enough!"
"Yes, Mr. Dolan." Beside him, a white-haired old man wearing glasses, his eyes flashed brightly behind the lenses: "It's really time for the Knicks to change."
The two people in the box were obviously James Dolan, the executive chairman of the New York Knicks, and Donnie Wash, one of the former Pacers management members who was recently rumored to be likely to take over the Knicks management.
James Dolan did not respond to Donnie Wash's words. He sat on the sofa and tapped his fingers lightly. He had a lot of dissatisfaction with Thomas, which had gradually accumulated over the years. But these dissatisfactions could not be
Completely dispelling Dolan's love for Thomas, just like the garbage trades he made cannot cover up his achievements with the Knicks.
Yes, Isaiah Thomas is known as the stupidest general manager in the league, but he has always done a pretty good job in business development for the Knicks. Although the Knicks maintain the highest salary expenditure in the league, their performance is...
It is the worst record in the league. However, the Knicks still maintain profitability and have never fallen into a loss. There are always rumors that James Dolan loves Isaiah Thomas, so he always tolerates Thomas's stupidity.
Trade always wipes out the bullshit he caused, but James Dolan is not a philanthropist, he is a capitalist. The Knicks run by Thomas can make money. This is what James Dolan has been condoning.
The real reason for Isaiah Thomas.
But now, James Dolan really can't stand it.
With so much money, he really doesn't care about the Knicks' annual profits. You must know that in addition to being the executive chairman and owner of the Knicks, he is also the president and CEO of American Cable Systems. In addition to
In addition to the New York Knicks, he also owns the NFL's New York Rangers.
As a team owner who is so wealthy that even the hair on his legs is thicker than Jordan's thighs (Jordan is really the poorest team owner in the NBA, no one), although the benefits that the Knicks bring to him every year can make him happy,
But as a person in upper class society.
He could not accept the sarcastic comment "James Dolan, he is stupid and has a lot of money, so go to New York quickly".
At the beginning, he could still maintain a dismissive attitude and pretend not to know. But as time went on, James Dolan gradually showed signs of being intolerable, and he also lost his trust in the people he had always trusted.
Saiya Thomas also complained, but this does not mean that James Dolan will impatiently kick Thomas out.
At least, don't rush it.
The twenty-second pause ended quickly. Thomas did not adjust any tactics, but just scolded all his players. He hoped to use this method to inspire the players' fighting spirit, but the Knicks played even more chaotically.
.
At this time, there was a problem with Adrian's touch.
He first shook off Richardson and then missed a jump shot at the free throw line. Bynum grabbed the rebound from the opponent's double attack and threw it to Adrian again.
After catching the ball, he jumped up and shot again without any hesitation.
Richardson tried his best to block the shot, but unfortunately Adrian's shot was too fast. He did not expect that Adrian would take shots continuously without hesitation. According to the data, Adrian is a very careful choice of shots.
Standard point guard.
but……
Bang~~~
As if trying to fight against Adrian, the basketball hit the front of the basket again and bounced out again. In the chaos, someone didn't know who poked him, and the basketball flew straight towards Adrian.
Come here. Adrian, caught the basketball with a bang, glanced at the basket, same position, and shot again!
"Bang~~~"
Without any mercy, as if a lid was suddenly added to the basket, Adrian's shot simply bounced out. Seeing this, the Knicks fans couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"This damn Lakers No. 1 finally feels cold."
However, the Lakers' offense was still not over. Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound from the head of Little Shark Eddie Curry. He was about to turn around and attack, but he saw Adrian opening his hand to him.
The ball. Without much hesitation, Kwame Brown passed the ball directly to Adrian.
Then, everyone saw, in the same place, the same position, the same person, Quentin Richardson and Stephon Marbury pounced on Adrian at the same time, and Adrian did not hesitate.
, in the same position, he shot the basketball in his hand for the fourth time!
"You still vote?"
Many people have big question marks in their minds!
