Sure enough, the Spurs are a bunch of thieves, from players to coaches...
D'Antoni was stunned when he saw it. I am ready to fight you. You are withdrawing from the battlefield now.
No choice, D'Antoni Caulio replaced Eddy Curry again and again, but this time it was Milicic.
The main reason is that in the matchup, David Lee's body could not withstand Duncan's impact. Although Millsap could fight against Duncan, his height and wingspan were at a disadvantage against Duncan.
So when I replaced Milicic, I wanted to see if some other changes could happen.
The game continues on the court and the Knicks have the ball.
Richard Jefferson was replaced by Keith Bogans. His defensive ability was far inferior to that of Richard Jefferson, and his movement speed was not as good as that of Richard Jefferson.
But there is no way. The only player the Spurs can get at the 3rd position is Richard Jefferson. The Spurs have not yet waited for their successor Leonard.
Popovich is also helpless. If Richard Jefferson is eliminated by the Knicks, it will probably be even more difficult for the Spurs this season.
Therefore, Popovich wanted to give up symbolically in this game.
Lian Dao faced Keith Bogans with the ball and made a pull-up jumper directly from the three-point line. His height of 196cm did not give Lian Dao much interference at all.
"brush!"
With the addition, the Knicks have strengthened their defensive intensity. Due to Chris Duhon's injury, all the Knicks players on the court are now full of gunpowder.
Ginobili lobbed the ball to Duncan in the paint, and Duncan originally wanted to dunk directly.
But just before he dunked, a figure quickly moved in front of him.
Milicic!
Milicic has the movement speed of a power forward.
Moreover, Milicic was very strong at this time, raising his hands and facing Duncan like this.
Duncan also didn't expect that this former parallel importer would be so brave now.
"bump!"
With a muffled sound, Duncan's dunk was blocked by Milicic in the air. Duncan's dunk rarely hit the rim, and then the ball flew directly out.
At this time, Duncan took a good look at Milicic with wide eyes. This guy seemed to be different.
Hmm? Confident, yes, this guy seems to be more confident.
The ball was picked up by Holiday, who was on the court, and then passed to Lian Dao on the fast break. Lian Dao dunked directly and scored.
On the way back to defense, Lian Dao high-fived Holiday and Milicic in celebration.
"Well done Darko, that's how you get here, I believe you can do it!" Lian Dao excitedly gave Milicic confidence.
Milicic also smiled and nodded at this time.
This big boy, who always looked bitter and resentful, also showed a smile at this time.
The second half of the first quarter completely entered the Knicks mode, with a fast offensive and defensive mode, which made these old guys miserable.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks maintained a 10-point lead with a score of 32:22.
In the second quarter, Lian Dao still led the substitutes on the court.
At this time, Popovich hesitated, but still replaced Richard Jefferson on the court, hoping to use him and Ginobili to complete the counterattack in the second quarter.
After he came on the court, Ginobili also used breakthroughs to attract double-teams, and then distributed the ball to Richard Jefferson who was cutting inside.
Richard Jefferson caught the ball and went for a layup, but was blocked by Lian Dao's block on the backboard. Lian Dao then used his big hand to collect the block.
"No-fly zone!"
Lian Dao roared and then passed the ball to Holiday. Holiday passed the ball on the fast break and assisted Danilo Gallinari for a dunk.
But for the Spurs, Ginobili once again used a snake-like breakthrough to reach the basket and scored a layup.
Ginobili is indeed a player known as the 20-minute braised egg. When his magic knife is unsheathed, he is indeed invincible. He can always pass through the small gaps in the people, and then rush to the basket with incredible
Score by layup.
But the Knicks, under the leadership of Lian Dao, did not let the Spurs get closer to the score.
When Lian Dao was holding the ball from the outside, Richard Jefferson and Ginobili double-teamed Lian Dao.
Ginobili's body could not stop Lian Dao's breakthrough, but he slowed down Lian Dao's breakthrough speed.
After Lian Dao moved inside, Richard Jefferson did not lose his position for the first time.
Lian Dao directly shouldered Richard Jefferson's defense.
He originally planned to take advantage of Lian Dao's collision and fall to the ground to get a foul.
However, since he had already committed a flagrant foul before, there is a high possibility that the referee will turn a blind eye to his foul.
So he didn't dare to bet. Once the referee stopped calling, Lian Dao would go directly to the basket and dunk.
So he forced himself to eat Lian Dao, but after eating it, he found that it hurt a lot.
Lian Dao is a man who sends centers into the hospital.
After creating space for himself, Lian Dao also imitated Duncan's playing style, clearing the way with his iron elbow.
The pain in Richard Jefferson's chest had not subsided, and was followed by a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.
Boy, you're a little dirty playing ball!
Then, Lian Dao seized the opportunity and stood up to dunk.
Lian Dao's explosive power is very powerful. He can complete a dunk even when someone is dragging him. You can imagine how powerful this explosive power is.
However, Richard Jefferson didn't give up yet. He was also angered. His previous nail-biting hat made him the background of this game. Now he wanted to return the favor no matter what.
So he jumped up to block the shot at the same moment as Lian Dao took off.
At this time, Richard Jefferson raised his knees slightly and aimed at Lian Dao's lower body.
Although Lian Dao had long been prepared for Richard Jefferson's little moves, he now had no more time to react in the air.
Therefore, Lian Dao, who was in the air, immediately changed his offensive strategy, turned around to avoid Richard Jefferson's hidden kick, and then changed from a dunk to a layup.
"brush!"
"All!"
2+1!
The referee did not see Richard Jefferson's knee lift in this game because he did this action very covertly and with a very small amplitude.
But when he was blocking the shot, he hit Lian Dao on his left arm.
After landing, Lian Dao's face turned gloomy. This guy was really stubborn.
Fortunately, he had just escaped a disaster with his explosive power and staying in the air, otherwise he would probably have lost all his descendants.
At this time Lian Dao was really angry.
However, he didn't punch Richard Jefferson because that's what the Spurs wanted to see most.
Once he throws a punch, he will basically be ejected and may also face a suspension. Then the Knicks' record will plummet after they have just improved.
Lian Dao took a deep breath, calmed down, and then pushed the ball out.
"brush!"
Free throw made!
The Spurs attacked, and Richard Jefferson cut into the basket from outside the three-point line in the corner. At this time, Ginobili's pass came again.
Just when he thought he was getting rid of Lian Dao's defense and went for a layup, Lian Dao appeared in the air like a ghost again.
Lian Dao used all his strength to block Richard Jefferson's layup.
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
"boom!"
Lian Dao's full-strike volleyball smash-style block made the basketball seem like a cannonball flying straight into Richard Jefferson's face.
If you play it back in slow motion, you will find that after the basketball hit Richard Jefferson's face, it quickly deformed, and then Richard Jefferson's face was also quickly squeezed and deformed.
Richard Jefferson's nose collapsed, blood flowed instantly, his body fell to the floor, and then became motionless.
There was a clear basketball rubber pattern on Richard Jefferson's face when he fell to the floor.
Chris Duhon, who was in the locker room, happened to see this scene through the TV screen.
Chris Duhon, who was applying ice, instantly had red eyes. He knew that with Lian Dao's ability, he could completely catch the shot, but he chose this smash block.
He knew that this was Lian Dao's revenge for himself, so at this moment Chris Duhong truly recognized Lian Dao in his heart, and it was also at this moment that he was willing to support Lian Dao forever.
In fact, the reason why Lian Dao chose the volleyball-style smash was indeed a factor that helped Chris Duhon get revenge, but it was more of a small move that Richard Jefferson had made to waste Lian Dao.
