With this super lead, both the audience at the scene and those in front of the TV felt that the Lakers were in doom.
Can't win.
We can't even make the playoffs.
Only No. 24 and No. 29 still had a strong desire to fight in their eyes.
"Wow~ Carmelo should be playing in isolation, a beautiful pick-and-roll cutout, and then it should be one-on-one!" Mike Breen, the "famous commentator" of the New York Knicks, said: "What do you think of Metta Shiping?
How likely is it to defend Carmelo Walter?" Another on-site commentator for the Knicks was the famous Knicks star and Tang Qian's "old acquaintance" Walter Frazier. Frazier said: "Less than 20
%. Because Ci Shiping’s defensive skills are obviously not as good as before this season, and his hands and feet are getting slower and slower. Although his strength is still good, it is not realistic to defend Carmelo, who is in excellent condition this season.”
"Yes, against the slow-moving Metta World Peace, Carmelo can make full use of his footsteps and breakthroughs! Come on, C.A, show off!" Mike Breen's commentary style should be unique to the NBA. Generally speaking,
For example, if the Knicks don't have live games, he will be a guest host on ESPN. Apart from Chick Hearn of the Lakers, who has passed away, he should now be one of the most powerful commentators in the NBA.
"Ah~ha~ Let's take a look at Carmelo, this three-point threat. It's really standard and textbook. His tentative steps, ha~, Ci Shiping has been shaken. His passing is extremely smooth, one-on-one Ci Shiping.
Shiping is no longer the Artest he was back then!"
That's right, Ci Shiping is not only inferior to the "Artest version" in his peak period, but because of his excessive weight, he was knocked down with a "snap" and then did not get up for a long time. Pick-and-roll, commonly known as pick-and-roll clearance.
, is to use the big man to come out for the pick-and-roll, and then call out the opponent's inside line, so that the ball carrier can have enough space to go one-on-one.
Otherwise, once he rushes into the paint and a big man comes to defend him, even Jordan's hits will be reduced.
The main function of the pick-and-roll in this Knicks team is to distract the opponent and empty the opponent's inside. After all, Anthony's singles ability this season has reached the peak of his career. Mike Woodson's doing this can be regarded as "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude."
Adjust measures to local conditions. At least what he did in Atlanta was almost never used in New York.
Poor Ci Shiping, a former defensive champion who won the best defensive player in his peak period. Before Leonard, he was the only outside DPOY in 15 years. With the critical eyes of that era, Ci Shiping could win the award.
Receiving this award shows how cruel he is. How cruel is it? Hehe, tell me a shocking statistic. That year, he was able to suppress his opponents' scoring average to less than 8.1 points per game! Yes, you didn't see it.
Wrong, you didn’t read it. It was either 18.1 points or 8.1 points! In the first round of the playoffs that year, Paul Pierce had the worst playoff data of his career, 20.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 6.3 turnovers! Hit.
The rate is even more disastrous, 34.2%! Therefore, in his peak period, Ci Shiping was the strongest perimeter defender under the handchec rules. There is absolutely no argument for this. Payton and Jordan are both inferior to him in this aspect. They have strong physical defense.
It is so suitable for Ci Shiping in his prime! Old fans who have watched the 2003-04 season must be deeply impressed. This guy is simply a nightmare for any outside attacker! Why didn’t he get this award later? Because the league revised
In the next season, the defensive rules were modified and handchec was banned. Therefore, Ci Shiping or Artest's strongest defensive weapon was greatly restricted, and the strongest defensive monster on the outside could only stay in the fans forever.
in memories.
It is a pity that time has accelerated the aging process. Now Ci Shiping has long withdrawn from the ranks of defensive gates, but has become a vague "defensive loophole", which cannot but be lamented.
Don't look at the fact that Anthony can easily tear apart Ci Shiping in singles, but a few people know that in the 2003-04 season, the year when Ci Shiping won the DPOY, "little rookie" Anthony was the first player in his career.
When you met the latter once, what statistics did you produce? Hehehehe, he made 1 of 13 shots, one of the lowest shooting percentages in his career, 7.7%. He only scored 2 points and 1 steal, and the rest of the data were all zero! You know that
Anthony averaged 21+ points per game in just one year. He didn't look like a rookie at all, but Ci Shiping taught him a vivid lesson. It made him understand for the first time that there is defense in professional basketball.
Such a tough man, and defending such a perverted beast!
Artest? Metta World Peace? Meta Walter Pease? You are already old and you no longer pose any threat to me!
Just see how I dunk the ball!
Just when Anthony was about to wash the basket, a big yellow palm flew out of the air and said: "Have you forgotten? I'm not allowed to fly here!"
Bang~ With one slap, Tang Qian blocked Anthony's dunk. It was so clean and neat that there was no fault at all!
"Oh~No~ Carmelo's dunk was blocked by Lakers No. 29 who came over from defense. Although I am a die-hard supporter of the Knicks, I have to admit that the Eastern center's block was very crisp and clean.
, there’s nothing to blame!” After Mike Breen finished speaking, he added: “Walter, what do you think of him?” Walter Fraser frowned and said, “Well, I don’t know why, I seem to dislike him very much.
It feels like this, although this block is indeed clean and beautiful.”
"I don't like him very much either. I hope that in the next round, Carmelo can find his place~" Mike Breen said.
Gasol received an assist from Kobe and succeeded in a strong attack inside, 44-24, still 20 points behind his opponent.
Here the Lakers requested a timeout because the team's small forward Ci Shiping fell to the ground and could not get up.
Gary Vitti ran over and took a look, shook his head and said: "Get on the stretcher, Meta, you should have injured your ankle ligament. Let's go back to the locker room and check in detail." Although Ci Shiping's expression was painful, his tone was full of pain.
, there seemed to be some relief: "I understand, Gary, take me away."
"What don't you want to say to your teammates?" Gary Vitti said.
Ci Shiping shook his head, because he also knew that his deterioration was extremely obvious. Compared with the beginning of this season, he was incomparable. He was the first to lose his physical reserves among the Lakers' five starters.
All.
Therefore, in his recent games, he has been "invisible" on the defensive end and has no sense of presence at all.
You must know that he is a No. 3 player who is famous for his defense. Now he can't contribute on the defensive end. Even if he can still score a few goals on the offensive end, what's the point? Carmelo Anthony.
The passing ball hurt Ci Shiping's self-esteem even more. Although he was usually joking and joking, as if he was heartless, he still had the glory on the court.
Suddenly, Ci Shiping had the idea of retiring.
Although he is actually not that old, only a little over half a year older than Gasol, he has regressed. Not everyone is Kobe, James, or Jordan. Basketball players regress as soon as they turn 30.
, there are many people out there, Ci Shiping is just one of them.
In the end, he didn't say much, just covered his face with a white towel, and was then carried into the tunnel by the Lakers' medical team.
The Lakers replaced veteran Antoine Jamison and the game continued.
It seems that Jamison has much more firepower than Ci Shiping, but the current Lakers lineup on the court does not lack offensive points. So after replacing Antoine Jamison, the defensive problem actually became more serious.
It’s getting worse. Ci Shiping can still fight hand-to-hand, but what about Jamison? He is 3 and a half years older than Ci Shiping and has long lost the energy to defend.
Because everyone knows that compared to the offensive end, the defensive end is the first area where a player will decline.
Moreover, Jamison was not a good defender when he was young, so he is even less energetic as he gets older.
This is what Mike D'Antoni sees and worries in Mike D'Antoni's heart.
But what else can he do now? The Lakers have no one to use on the outside, and Jamison still has a height advantage. If Morris, Meeks and the like are replaced, the defensive lineup on the outside will only be
Thinner and crispier.
"It's okay, Carmelo, just find the next ball." Jason Kidd, known as "Kidd", is a complete charlatan, so he quickly calmed Anthony's angry mind and said: "I will
Passing the ball to you." When Anthony heard what Kidd said, he immediately nodded. No matter what, Kidd's status in the world is there. Nash was the league's number one point guard before him, and he was the five-time NBA assists leader.
The Mavericks recruited him to improve the team's backcourt stability and tactical quality. Jason Kidd has always done a good job. He is different from Nash. He is extremely calm and difficult to stir up emotions.
This guy is calm and composed, simple and practical, and his style of play is in his No. 1 position. Although his passing is not as coquettish and gorgeous as Nash, he is still unique. Coupled with his defense, he is much better than Nash.
Well, being in the All-Defensive Team multiple times is the best proof.
For the next ball, Kidd took advantage of the pick-and-roll and broke into the Lakers' three-point line. If it were Nash, he would definitely continue to go deeper and directly break into the Lakers' inside with the ball to disrupt the situation. But Jason Kidd
The difference is that the purpose of his passing is not to directly assist, or even directly to the passer. His "quasi-assist" ability is so strong that you can hardly imagine it. Otherwise, he could bring a lineup like the Nets into the championship twice.
In the finals? Although his statistics are not that eye-catching, he can always organize the team's offense very smoothly. Anyone who watched the Nets in those years will know that without Kidd, the Nets will lose every season.
I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the playoffs, let alone consecutive finals.
"Jason passed the ball to Pablo Steve Novak. Was Novak about to take a three-pointer? He attracted Gasol and jumped out. Oh~, no, he passed the ball. Basketball
Passed to Carmelo Anthony who was cutting and running!" Mike Breen's commentary is a reflection of Kidd's organizational ability. His ability to connect and sort out is really terrifying, as if he was passing the ball when he was on the court.
Players who were originally average in skills suddenly became enlightened, and their ability to pass and assist greatly improved.
"Beautiful air cut! Beautiful running! Anthony just shook off the defender, and he was about to rush inside and take a shot!"
It's still that stupid straight up and down dunk. Tang Qian really feels that among the quasi-stars on the outside, Carmelo Anthony's inside attack is the easiest to guard against. He is worthy of being the shot leader in the NBA at the 3rd position.
With his inner offensive IQ, it is really difficult for others to compete with him for first place. A kaleidoscope of offense outside the penalty area and two hundred and fifty offenses inside the penalty area. This is Carmelo Anthony, the enigmatic New York
man.
"You also want to score goals like this?" Tang Qian was speechless after seeing Anthony's offensive method: "God~ If I don't block you, I will be sorry for my own eyes~" After saying that, Tang Qian said
He stretched out his left hand and slapped Anthony's "straight up and down dunk" hard. Even if Tang Qian didn't open the gold ability card, he would be 70% to 80% sure of blocking this kind of ball, let alone the gold block card?
"No. 29 blocked Carmelo! Carmelo shot and grabbed the offensive rebound, and then continued to shoot from the basket!" Mike Breen had just finished speaking when there was another "pop" and the pass was passed.
into everyone's ears.
I don’t know if it’s true that Anthony has the “aura of offensive rebounds”. After being blocked twice in a row, he magically got an offensive rebound again!
"Ahhhhhhh!" With a loud roar, Anthony went "straight up and down." In fact, his physical fitness has never been at the top of the NBA. He was a good jumper in high school, but after an injury in college, he lost his ability to fly high.
Ability, not to mention the bullet speed which is not outstanding in the first place. Therefore, this kind of forced shot under the basket was blocked by Tang Qian again.
After blocking three shots in a row, Anthony suddenly became furious. He shouted angrily at the referee: "He fouled! Didn't you see he fouled?" The referee of this game was the famous "Iron Mask"
Ken More, he has been law enforcement in the NBA for 26 seasons, what superstar has he not seen? To put it bluntly, he has experienced the "black and white hegemony" era, and he has even whistled for the top ten in history without blinking an eye.
Who is Carmelo Anthony?
Beep beep~
Before the Lakers could advance to the frontcourt, they heard a whistle and referee Ken Moore blew the whistle.
Look at his gesture... New York No. 7, technical foul!
Kobe Bryant of the Lakers stepped forward to take a free throw, brushed and scored a free throw. Since the ball was in the hands of the Lakers, they continued to serve the ball from the frontcourt.
Without Nash, the Lakers' offensive system has indeed become stagnant, including Tang Qian. His offensive ability has been greatly reduced in an instant. It is completely different from the threat Nash was when he was on the court. Blake made a three-pointer.
~, Shooting and hitting the iron, Kobe passed the ball very well, but it's a pity that he couldn't throw it in.
This makes Kobe's already little patience become increasingly scarce.
The New Yorkers protected the rebounds. Even Tang Qian couldn't grab every offensive rebound. After all, reality is not a game, and as I said before, offensive rebounds are more difficult to grab than backcourt rebounds.
Is it more than 3 to 4 times bigger? After all, rebounding is much more beneficial to the defender.
"Jason, give me the ball!" As soon as he reached the Lakers' 3-point line, he raised his hand to reach the lane. Kidd saw that the defender in front of Anthony was replaced by the older and weaker Jamison, so he did not hesitate,
He stuffed the basketball in his hand.
Just when Anthony was taking a probing step with a triple threat and was about to make a move, the Lakers' insider suddenly shouted: "Antoine, let him in." Jamison was stunned when he heard this, but he still
Without answering, Carmelo Anthony got angry and yelled: "Oriental guy! You are too arrogant! Do you really think you can defeat me just by covering me up a few times?"
Tang Qian didn't show any weakness, and deliberately taunted: "As long as you dare to come over and have a one-on-one with me, I will defeat you! Of course, if you are scared by me, then forget it, I can understand it.
"What? You damn oriental reek!!!" Anthony has never been the kind of person with a particularly calm head, so he immediately gave up the plan of fighting and broke through Jamison's side with a cat body.
Go straight to the Lakers' inside line.
Seeing this, Gasol wanted to help defend and wanted to delay, but he heard the Lakers No. 29 behind him say: "Paul, let this guy come in, I am in good shape tonight." Gasol wanted to continue to defend, but
Due to his good relationship with Tang Qian, he still chose to respect the latter, of course... it was just a ball.
If Tang Qian fails to defend, he will still continue to assist and supplement the defense.
Hearing that No. 29 was so arrogant, Anthony got angry and rushed in to fight with force.
"yoo~ You've learned a little better, don't dunk anymore?" Tang Qian said, "But it's still useless."
Bang~
Another cap, covering Anthony and almost falling to the ground!
The Lakers fast break, Kobe Bryant changes direction, kills the inside, and then takes a shot to the basket to score.
Brush~
The basketball rolled into the opponent's basket and caused the New York team's inside line to pay an extra foul.
There is a chance to hit a three-pointer.
Tang Qian walked to the frontcourt to compete for a free throw rebound. When he passed by Anthony, he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Don't look at me like that. I have no interest in you. If you feel uncomfortable, you are welcome to come again."
Damn, damn it!!! Damn it!!!
Anthony remembered the scene of the last fight again. He didn't want to be defeated several times in a row!
Brush~
Kobe added a free throw, plus the previous technical foul free throw, 28-44, and the deficit was reduced to 16 points.
"Jason, pass the ball~" After halftime, Anthony reached for the lane again. He should have taken a rest long ago, but because of his continuous weakness, Anthony refused Woodson's order to leave. Mike Woodson looked a little unhappy.
It looks good, but he also knows that if Anthony doesn't see him coming, he won't be confident facing any famous star without the championship trophy.
"Carmelo, I think this ball is..." Before Kidd finished speaking, Anthony interrupted loudly: "Give me the ball! I want to beat him alone! Don't you believe in my strength?"
After hearing what Anthony said, Kidd couldn't do anything else. Anyway, he had already won the NBA championship with the Mavericks, and his career was considered complete. As for the last few years, he just enjoyed the fun of playing and making more money.
U.S. dollars, learn more about the techniques and tactics of different teams so that you can plan to become a head coach after retirement.
Anthony held the ball again and broke through Jamison. It was not a problem at all, but the problem was Tang Qian's side...
The on-site commentators at Madison Square Garden were a little nervous. They both said: "Carmelo once again held the ball from the top of the arc. He passed Jamison. In front of him, apart from the Lakers basket, there was only the East."
On the 29th, Gasol did not come to help defend, so this was another one-on-one offensive and defensive duel."
"Can Carmelo succeed..." Before he could finish the word, a loud sound echoed throughout the Madison Garden.
It was the fifth or sixth time that Anthony was blocked in a single quarter.
And the saddest thing is that the person who blocked him is just one person.
"Hey, didn't I tell you before?" Tang Qian lowered his head and said, "It's time for you to exercise more. You have a little too much fat."
