The Basketball Court Swordsman

When the electronic buzzer that represented the end of the first quarter appeared, Spike Lee looked up at the big screen.

Before the game, Spike Lee was very excited, with an impatient expression on his face, claiming that he would watch Henson Joe and Paul make a joke.

And now, the black director's face is dead. His conspicuous orange outfit would only make him look extremely embarrassed.

28 to 20, in just one game, the Pacers put the New York Knicks behind by 8 points. You know, this is still when Anthony has already scored 9 points alone.

If it weren't for Anthony, or J.R. Smith's outstanding performance in the rotation time, Spike Lee has reason to believe that the Knicks will be behind by double digits.

He didn't want to make any documentary for a Chinese American. The bet with Henson was purely a whim.

Spike. Lee likes to create movies from the perspective of blacks, and through movies, expresses to the world the social phenomenon of black Americans in dire straits. But a Chinese? Please, Spike Lee doesn't understand Chinese life.

"Guys, work harder, okay!?" Spike Lee couldn't help but get goose bumps at the thought of making a documentary for Henson. So he turned his head and shouted at the Knicks bench, but this did not motivate the players. Instead, he was disgusted by Mike Woodson.

Spike Lee is a diehard Knicks fan and he also has his own ViP seat in Madison Square Garden. But this does not mean that Spike Lee has a good relationship with everyone on the Knicks.

At least the current Knicks coach Mike Woodson doesn't like Spike Lee very much, because as a layman, he always likes to point fingers at the team, which makes Mike Woodson very annoyed.

"Shut up, Mr. Spike Lee, we know what to do!" So, seeing Spike Lee yelling, Mike Woodson also hit back without shy.

The current situation of the game is already annoying enough, and Spike Lee is still here to add more energy. Which coach can like it?

In the first quarter, the reason why the Knicks were suppressed can easily be analyzed.

First, no one can contain Paul George's singles.

Second, the Knicks will always have only one attack point on the court, either Anthony or JR Smith.

Therefore, to solve these two problems, Woodson must send a person to guard George, and then let Anthony and Smith play at the same time to increase the points!

So Mike Woodson gave Anthony a task, "The second quarter. Go and mark the 24!"

Anthony moved his hands and nodded slightly. He wants to win more than everyone else. In order to win, he doesn't care what he is going to do.

Normally, in people's perception, Carmelo Anthony is a defensive black hole. However, in fact, Anthony, who is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 109 kg, is capable of defensive hardware. The reason why he does not defend well is because he does not want to defend!

Anthony's single defense level is not very good, but in fact it is average. For details, refer to the 10-year Western Conference Finals where Anthony personally defended Bryant's back. It can be said that Kobe did not take much advantage in the matchup with Anthony.

But Anthony has basically no sense of assistance in defense. It happens from time to time when changing leaks. His position is extremely random and he is not actively retreating...In other words, his defense is too poor and it is all about attitude.

Perhaps this is because Anthony's physical strength is not as rich as James, Wade and others like perpetual motion machines. If you want to keep the offensive end in full fire, you can't allocate your energy to the defensive end.

In Anthony's view, defensive work is not what he should do. What he should do is score various difficult points, and then lead the team to victory.

But anyway, Mike Woodson has always believed that as long as Anthony is willing to work hard, he can do a good job defensively. At the moment, Anthony is the best player in the Knicks to play against Paul George. Therefore, Mike Woodson will be very "unbelievable" to give a defensive task to Anthony.

But seeing Anthony nodding firmly, Woodson was relieved a lot. As long as he works hard, as long as he works hard...

"At the beginning of the second quarter, we saw the Knicks take the lead in making a staff change! Coach Mike Woodson brought JR Smith and Amare Stoudemire, who had just returned from injury. This way. , Carmelo Anthony will be able to return to the third position! There is no doubt that Coach Woodson needs Anthony to face George!"

Reggie Miller's comments hit the nail on the head, and Woodson's intentions were very clear. In response, Miller deliberately looked at the bench from the commentary.

But he saw that Henson was not surprised or panicked because of Woodson's adjustment. He just sat on the spot with his legs folded, one hand supporting his chin, wondering if he had anticipated Woodson's adjustment.

And Anthony and George made a successful defense in the first matchup.

This time George caught the ball and shot, but Anthony's running was unexpectedly positive, and his height of 2.03 meters was enough to interfere with George's shot. In this way, George, who performed well in the first quarter, hit the iron as soon as he came up.

But unfortunately, the Knicks have not become safe because of this, because Al Horford grabbed an offensive rebound in the chaotic interior!

This is another key point Henson has always emphasized-offensive rebounds!

Although the Knicks now have two two-to-eight hundred insiders on the field, Chandler and Stoudemire are undoubtedly players with more fame than strength.

Steadmire has suffered from injuries this season and has become a substitute. Since leaving the Mavericks, the "Boxing King" has never played a high-light performance again, and has been quite satisfactory.

These two guys are partnered inside, it's better to let Anthony play the fourth position with energy. Neither Steadmire nor the "Boxing King" actively blocked the top players, but instead was blocked by the blocking master Horford and lost the rebounds at the same time!

Horford was not in a hurry for a second offense after grabbing an offensive rebound, because he knew that Chandler was not a casual challenge at the basket.

I saw the All-Star center calmly hit the ball back to Paul's hands, Paul made a false shot, and then suddenly broke through, letting Kidd, who was not able to get his legs and feet, caught off guard.

The mid-range jumper made a steady hit. The Pacers took advantage of the second offensive opportunity to expand the point difference to 10 points, double digits!

"What is Spike Lee thinking about? Do you want a name for Coach Henson's documentary?" Reggie Miller couldn't help teasing when Paul scored a goal.

"Damn it!" Anthony was very angry when he saw the difference in double digits. This anger will fill him with fighting spirit, but it will also make him lose his mind.

So this time, the Knicks' offense failed. Anthony didn't strike iron, he didn't have the opportunity to strike iron at all. When the impatient Anthony lowered his weight to dribble, Paul George peeped his arm and stabbed the basketball in the hands of "Social Melon"!

?Excellent physical fitness, quick action. Resolute, calm, steady, not easy to be fooled, once he made up his mind and never gave up halfway... In just one round, Anthony experienced George's greatness.

This new All-Star is really difficult to deal with.

Anthony made a mistake and George grabbed the basketball and ran across the court. No one in the Knicks can return in time, Stoudemire and Chandler are both past the age to be able to dash around the court and then offer to chase them.

As a result, Spike. Lee could only watch George dunk with a strong and high-handed pair of hands, which stretched the point difference to 12 points.

Look at the old-fashioned Knicks, look at the energetic and talented Pacers... Talent, this damn, enviable drooling talent!

"Do you think that if you let Anthony confront George, you can stop him? Mike Woodson thinks really simply. I don't know if Anthony can stop George, but I'm sure George won't make Anthony easier than before."

Henson was sitting on the bench talking to himself, he was already waiting for the team to open the score.

Seeing this situation, JR Smith stood up, ready to share Anthony's scoring pressure. Mike Woodson let J.R. play at the beginning of the second quarter, also out of this consideration.

But is J.R. Smith really that great? He was able to score so many points in the first quarter rotation, mainly because the defending J.R. was a little weak Ray Allen.

Henson wanted to use Stephenson, a New York street boy, to "enter" JR in the second quarter rotation time, but he didn't expect Woodson to take the J.R. up.

Now it’s easy. J.R. Smith can’t play with the Pacers’ starting lineup with almost no defensive weaknesses.

Sure enough, J.R. failed to make the first attempt in the second quarter. Danny Green covered J.R. from start to finish, giving him no space.

He is not afraid of J.R. breakthrough, because Green knows that there are two reliable partners behind him, Horford and West.

Steadmeier and Tyson Chandler are not the kind of insiders who can open up space, so Horford and West must have one at the basket!

This kind of trust in teammates is not visible in any team.

"What did you arrange during the inter-quarter break?" Spike Lee couldn't sit still when the Knicks missed another offense. But he couldn't shoot Henson, so he had to vent his anger with Mike Woodson.

Woodson gave Spike Lee a blank look, and the black director made him more upset.

And a person who is upset cannot make the right decision.

J.R. shot the ball and hit the iron. After coming over, the impatient Anthony just recovered a round of defense and became lazy again. He just wants to attack now, he just wants to score.

After thinking about it for so long, it turned out that George took advantage of the cover and ran away easily, and then flung Anthony away, and then another understatement of the high hand layup.

With a 14-point gap, the Knicks, third in the East, seemed vulnerable. The second quarter has just begun, and Mike Woodson has to call a timeout again.

Spike Lee buried his head deeply between his hands, and he recalled in his mind every word that Henson Joe **** said.

Henson Joe said before the game that this game has entered his orbit, maybe this time he is not arrogant, he is... telling the truth!
