Chapter 299 Madison Square Garden Arena 1(2/2)
Mark Jackson dribbled the ball through half court. This time, he did not give the ball directly to the madman, but arranged for his teammates to move.
Yes, with the support of the head coach, you are so tough.
Alan Houston moved quickly, and the Knicks kept covering him. It seemed that they were arranging Alan Houston's offense.
Not only Harrington and Kurt Thomas in the paint, but even the Madman is covering for Alan Houston.
Sure enough, the Madman immediately blocked Michael Reid who was following Alan Houston.
Wang Hao did not dare to be careless and immediately changed defense.
His reaction was fast enough and his speed was not slow. He caught up with Alan Houston immediately.
Although he still successfully caught the ball, there was no room for him to take action.
However, at the next moment, Alan Houston suddenly jumped up, right? He dared to shoot?
Just when Wang Hao was about to deliver a big hit, he suddenly realized that this was not a shot, but a pass.
This is really unexpected.
After all, Alan Houston's role in the Knicks has always been the finishing point, not the passing point.
As the main defender, he has averaged over 2 assists per game in his career, which speaks volumes.
And the target of Alan Houston's pass was none other than Madman.
The madman has a strong offensive ability with the ball, but that doesn't mean he can't catch the ball and attack.
"Whoosh!"
An unexpected attack, the roles of Alan Houston and Madman reversed, letting the Sonics know what cruelty means!
More importantly, 11 points.
The moment the goal was scored, the atmosphere in the SuperSonics was a bit heavy, even for Gary Payton.
It's not that an 11-point difference can crush people, but it's a change of mood, helplessness and self-blame.
Unfortunately, I was in poor condition and blamed myself for not playing well in the game.
A small emotional change actually has a big impact. Thinking of these things has already proved that you are not focused.
After glancing at his teammates, Wang Hao didn't say any more nonsense, because he understood that it was better to do what he said.
"Gary, let me do it!"
No, Wang Hao took the initiative to make a change. He simply started dribbling from the backcourt and dominated the team's offense.
The madman was not polite and directly stepped forward. From the moment Wang Hao caught the ball, he wanted to interfere with Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was not in a hurry. He first leaned on the madman with his back, and then quickly broke through from the right side.
Seeing the madman catching up, he immediately changed direction, then pulled the ball back again and continued to accelerate towards the right.
With a change of direction and smooth dribbling, he directly shook off the madman and ran towards the frontcourt.
However, the Knicks were also well prepared, with Marco Jackson and Alan Houston always ready to double-team.
After halftime, Wang Hao had to slow down first.
He did not approach the three-point line directly because the Knicks were ready to double-team and he did not want to give it a chance.
That's right, it was so excessive. Before it could break through to the inside, the Knicks were already preparing to double-team.
This means you won't get points if you bully your teammates.
Of course, it is impossible for the Knicks players to really let go of their own men and double team Wang Hao like this.
Even if the condition is not good, as a professional player, if you really give him a chance, he may not be unable to score.
Wang Hao is constantly dribbling and adjusting the rhythm. The Madman also lowers his center and is always ready to defend.
Suddenly, Wang Hao made a move. He still chose to break through on the right side. This position had a better chance.
The madman is not slow and his judgment is very prepared. In fact, as long as he is willing to defend, his defense is not bad.
It's just that today's madman can go all out in the attack, which is already very good.
Defense? What are you thinking about, unless the Knicks owner gives you another 10 million.
That is to say, today, Wang Hao's performance in the first quarter was not bad, which stimulated the madman a little, and the madman was competing.
Just as Wang Hao made a move, the Knicks players on both sides also made a move.
They are moving appropriately and are always ready to double-team.
However, just when Wang Hao was about to break through to the three-point line, he suddenly stopped.
It has to be said that such an emergency stop was so sudden that even a madman would not be able to react in time.
Not only that, Wang Hao took off very simply from outside the three-point line. This was a pull-out shot from outside the three-point line.
The madman tried his best to stop it, but he could only look back and sigh.
There is no way, given Wang Hao's height and wingspan, the possibility of his hand being destroyed is very low.
What's more, this was an emergency stop, and the madman couldn't react in time.
"Whoosh!"
Watching the basketball go straight to the net, the Knicks fans were dumbfounded. Is it so powerful?
Knicks fan: No, we finally cheered up our home team, can you please stop destroying it?
You play so well, we can't help but cheer you on later.
The pull-up three-pointer from the outside was learned by Wang Hao and Tracy McGrady, and it must be said that the effect is very good.
Especially when facing defenders with insufficient height, you can get more space to shoot.
It can be said that the effectiveness of this move in Wang Hao's hands has far exceeded that of Tracy McGrady.
After all, McGrady's three-pointers are not that stable.
32:40
There is still an eight-point difference, and the Knicks are still confident.
In the next attack, they repeated their old trick and still arranged for Alan Houston to feint a shot.
In fact, they did a good job forcing the Sonics to switch defenses.
However, Michael Reed followed suit this time and did not give the madman a good chance.
But at this time, the madman started again.
If the tactics can be executed smoothly, the madman is actually willing to do so, after all, he can score easily.
But once the tactics don't go smoothly, the madman loses patience. When the ball falls into his hands, there is only one outcome.
Facing Michael Reed, he took a forceful shot.
"Bang!"
It's a pity that the basketball bounces out of the frame, which is normal. After all, the shooting rate is about 40%. This is a madman.
PJ Brown reacted very quickly, grabbed the rebound, and handed it directly to Gary Payton.
This time, Gary Payton was not stopped by Marco Jackson, but allowed him to successfully break through the midline.
Facing Mark Jackson, Gary Payton used a change of direction to drive directly into the paint.
In terms of physical fitness, Mark Jackson did not suffer at all. He relied on Gary Payton very well.
As long as the opponent dares to take action, he is confident to defend him.
Chapter completed!
