Lian Dao reached the frontcourt and directly stepped on the free throw line, leaped high into the air, changed hands with his hips in the air, and then slammed the basketball into the basket.
Actual version of jumping from the free throw line, switching hands and dunking in the air!
There was an inexplicable silence at the scene, followed by bursts of cheers.
Although Lian Dao has brought surprises to New York fans many times, New York fans will not be surprised even if Lian Dao does anything.
But that jump from the free throw line just now, switching hands for a dunk in the air, was so cool!
"Ouch~, is Sickle treating the regular season as a slam dunk contest? I give you 10 points for this kind of body stretch, elegance, and difficulty!"
Buckley squirmed his big butt and screamed in excitement.
Kenny Smith also opened his mouth and eyes in surprise!
"This will definitely be one of the best dunks of the season, and it's still ranked in the top five!"
"Be bold, Kenny, I guess it must be in the top three!"
When Lian Dao retreated, he found Jeremy Lin and Tony Allen and gave him a high-five.
Without Jeremy Lin's blocks and Tony Allen's passes, Lian Dao would not have staged such an exciting scene.
At this time, a timeout whistle sounded on the sidelines.
The Knicks atmosphere at the scene was too heated, and the Bobcats players on the court, after Lian Dao completed the difficult dunk, all the players looked ashen and full of disappointment.
Paul Silas called a timeout at this time, wanting to alleviate some of the Knicks' surging momentum.
Paul Silas's timeout is still very critical, because D'Antoni is also preparing to replace the entire lineup and finish the game.
If Paul Silas had not called a timeout, the Knicks would have made the substitutions directly and would have taken away the game in a wave in the second quarter.
Of course, even if Paul Silas calls a timeout, it cannot change the fate of being taken away by a wave.
After returning from the timeout, Lian Dao became more and more excited as he played.
"Peng!"
Amid the cheers of the fans, Lian Dao's defense gave Gerald Henderson a big hat!
When the Bobcats passed the sideline ball, the Knicks blocked another 24-second violation.
Knicks, pursue the victory!
Lian Daodou came out to receive Holiday's pass, accelerated in disguise and passed Corey Maggette cleanly into the penalty area.
DJ White struggled to shrink back and fought with Maggette back and forth.
However, they still underestimated Lian Dao.
Lian Dao fouled him and DJ White scored 2 1!
Let Lian Dao come to the penalty area and be double-teamed is no longer enough to make Lian Dao feel the pressure.
Last season, Lian Dao clearly felt the difficulty of being double-teamed, but this season, Lian Dao felt as if he had entered a wonderful world, and he was more comfortable facing double teams.
Has the intensity decreased?
Lian Dao thought so at first, but then he found out that it was not the case.
Because during the intra-team competition, Stoudemire, Tony Allen and other teammates also discovered that Lian Dao seemed to be stronger than before.
However, his physical and technical data did not change much, which made him very puzzled.
Lian Dao originally wanted to ask the system for the reason, but the system was still sleeping.
However, Lian Dao clearly feels that he is developing towards a good state.
"Whoa!"
Lian Dao's free throws are still so stable.
In the Bobcats' next offense, Corey Maggette faced Lian Dao's pressure, made a dribbling error, and was intercepted by Lian Dao.
Maggette hurriedly fouled Lian Dao, preventing the Knicks from counterattacking this time.
Within the three-point line in the frontcourt, Lian Dao continued to catch the ball.
He turned around and broke through, this time directly attracting a three-man double-team from the Bobcats.
Lian Dao distributed the ball.
The one who caught the ball was Stoudemire.
A very good three-point shot opportunity.
And Stoudemire did not disappoint Lian Dao's pass, shooting from outside the three-point line.
"brush!"
Stoudemire has the ability to make three-pointers, and his three-point shooting percentage in the past two seasons has been very good, especially when the shot goes smoothly, he can shoot no matter what.
The situation on the court became completely one-sided, and the Bobcats became less and less motivated as they played.
At halftime, the score came up and the Bobcats trailed by 33 points at halftime.
During the half-time break.
Paul Silas shook his head and sighed, looking at the group of players in the locker room who were beaten like eggplants, he knew that the game was over.
Returning from the second half, the Bobcats immediately put on the bench as soon as the third quarter began and announced their surrender.
D'Antoni also has a tacit understanding, and the Knicks also replaced Jeremy Lin, Jimmy Butler, Hassan Whiteside and other substitute players.
Hassan has performed very well recently, and Lian Dao found that it was a wise choice to hand Hassan into Rashid's hands.
In fact, Hassan Whiteside also had a sense of crisis and urgency.
Although he was not laid off by the king like in history, his situation with the king was not much better than in history, and he was at risk of being laid off and unemployed at any time.
Moreover, he also knows that if he can't play well in the Knicks, he may really go home and grow old.
Especially recently, he has been subjected to special training by Rashid Wallace. It is said to be special training, but in fact it is one-sided abuse. Rashid's current physical condition is definitely not as good as Hassan's now.
However, the accumulation of Rashid's 15-year career is not comparable to that of Hassan, who is now a rough guy, especially Rashid's offensive skills under the basket, which fool Hassan around.
This was a huge blow to him. Before that, he was still holding on to the retreat of playing in the lower leagues.
However, the cruel fact that a retired veteran can easily take care of him has made Hassan's careless attitude, which he used to rely on his outstanding physical fitness, now lessened a lot.
Moreover, Hassan also got a non-guaranteed contract. As long as his performance cannot satisfy the Knicks management, he will be directly eliminated at any time.
…
The Knicks beat the Bobcats at home by 49 points. Especially in the second half, none of the Knicks' main players played, but the Knicks' bench was full of energy.
Especially Jeremy Lin, Jimmy Butler, and Hassan Whiteside. Jeremy Lin is responsible for output, Hassan Whiteside is responsible for guarding the basket, rebounding and defense, and Jimmy Butler is responsible for attacking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The three of them continued to hit offensive climaxes on the court.
And Hassan even sent out big hats one after another.
Paul Silas put Kemba Walker on the court again in the fourth quarter in order not to be too embarrassed by the loss and for training purposes.
D'Antoni also turned a blind eye to this, but even so, it still could not change the outcome of the score getting wider and wider.
Especially when it comes to serious matters, Hassan, who is guarding the basket, makes the Bobcats miserable on the defensive end. As long as they dare to break in, Hassan dares to make a big shot.
This caused Bobcats head coach Paul Silas to look at D'Antoni repeatedly, as if he was saying: Damn old man, this is definitely intentional!
However, he really wronged D'Antoni, because this is the worst lineup in D'Antoni's hands.
Fortunately, the Knicks still saved some face for the Bobcats. At least in the second half of the fourth quarter, under D'Antoni's signal, the Knicks gave up their defense, which gave the Bobcats players a chance to score. Otherwise, this
In one game, they were trailing by far more than 49 points.
If the number behind the Bobcats breaks the league's historical record, then Paul Silas's Bobcats head coaching career will expire!
Post-game statistics showed that for the Knicks, Lian Dao had 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Stoudemire had 18 points and 6 rebounds, Cousins had 14 points and 9 rebounds, Jeremy Lin had 16 points and 5 assists, Holiday had 12 points and 6 assists, and Bart had 12 points and 6 assists.
LeBron James had 14 points and 4 rebounds, Danny Green had 9 points and 2 rebounds, Whiteside had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks...
Seven Knicks players scored in double figures, and every player on the team scored.
Of course, against a weak team like the Bobcats, the Knicks' seven players scoring in double figures is nothing to praise, but several players the Knicks added in the offseason performed very well in this game.
In particular, discarded players from some teams have shown dazzling brilliance in the Knicks' system, which has made many people lament that the Knicks seem to have the ability to turn waste into treasure.
From Danny Green before, to Jeremy Lin, Hassan Whiteside, and Jimmy Butler now.
Although Butler has not performed very well yet, it can be seen from the game that he is different from the previous joint trial period.
This has led some media to speculate whether the Knicks management has magic and can predict which player will counterattack, or does Lian Dao have his own lucky attributes?
Otherwise, how to explain some of the weird operations of the Knicks before Lian Dao came!
