NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 430: There are no brothers on the court, only enemies!
"Why don't you guess Curry Harden's."

"They are the main scorers. Guess what their scores mean." Jiang Chao replied with a smile. Both Harden and Curry are at the level of breaking 30 points at every turn, and the Spurs have never exceeded 30 points. players.

Scarlett and the others don’t understand this, but Jiang Chao knows it quite well. Popovich’s team basketball has a selfish line. Whenever a player reaches 9 rebounds or 29 points, he will be stuck, either He was replaced or he was not used.

In fact, when the Spurs score 29 points, the Spurs win 99% of the time. The Spurs team has six players and seven players scoring in double figures every now and then. More than 25 points, the Spurs scored more than 90 points, and the Spurs ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency, limiting their opponents to less than 90 points per game, so winning is a sure thing.

And why is the relationship between Leonard and Thompson interesting, because neither of them is the boss of the team, the fourth and fifth. Even if Thompson scored well on New Year’s Day, the Knicks can score more than him or need him The number of times to stand up is very small, Leonard is the fourth and fifth, and Thompson is the most old and the seventh
It can be clearly seen that in the first half, Leonard took the ball to attack and dominate the ball very little. He mainly wiped GDP's ass on the defensive end, and because of the GDP three-man organization on the offensive end, Leonard can only do Empty cuts and catches and shots.

But obviously in the first season, he was not as comfortable and confident as he was in the past few seasons, and he was not so confident. Even if the ball was in his hands, he would subconsciously hand it over to his big brothers. Nalai's decisiveness.

But his advantages are also obvious, that is, he is obviously much faster on the court than the old people like the Spurs, and he is not the menstruating man who takes a week off every month in later generations.

Now he is limited by Popovich to only 25 minutes per game, so don't mention how eager to express himself.

He got 5 rebounds and 3 steals in the half.

Before halftime, he successfully blocked Hayward's shot and missed a shot. After receiving a pass from Duncan, he passed it to Manu. Lite, Tiago catches the ball and directly dunks with both hands.

Also relying on the Spurs' final attack, they managed to control the point difference in the first half to 8 points, and the Knicks failed to lead in double figures at halftime.

After halftime, everyone guessed, because Thompson scored 6 points after halftime and only hit 2 three-pointers.

Leonard also had 6 points, but with 2 assists and an open layup, and one was 2 free throws after being fouled.

"I guess this Leonard, he played more minutes than Thompson."

"I also guess Leonard, playing time is the most critical."

"I guess Thompson, it's so easy to see him score, just raise your hand and throw it."

"Yes, there are also performances like 8 three-pointers in a single game when they explode. Such players either don't score, or they are in a row."

"And if there is garbage time, Clay must have a lot of garbage time."

Daddario and Scarlett talked to each other, and Jiang Chao also found that as they spent more and more time with him, their understanding of basketball became more profound.

However, Jiang Chao really felt that he made a good bet. If Thompson had Danny Green's playing time, then there was no need to bet at all. It must be a pure scorer like Thompson who scored more.

On the defensive end, Thompson does much less than Leonard. Leonard is the striker who needs to be responsible for the top defense. He will interfere with Howard and Yao when they get the ball.

But what Thompson has to do is to watch the new Spurs, who is also a shooter like the old Knicks player Mills, the scorer watches the scorer, shooter to shooter.

But Thompson is now a pure newcomer in the Knicks. Although David Lee + Thomas Jr. was replaced, he doesn't have as long playing time as those two.

His pick is behind Danny Green and Matthews. If he plays for a tall forward team, he will have no playing time. The Knicks' forward line is also a group of people who can swing at the 2-3 position.

In addition, the coaching staff hadn't heard of Jiang Chao's bet, so it was hard to guess.

Guessing both Mills and Leonard would be a better guess.

Some fans posted on the Chaoshen Forum are about the speculation about these two people. One is the backup shooting guard who left the Knicks, and the other is the first-round pick who just joined the Spurs this year, but the arguments of this post are all one-sided.

That is, Mills will score higher than Leonard, whether it is because of Mills' own passion for fighting the old team, or Popovich's character will allow the opponent's old player like Mills to play more games to prove himself.

Popovich is indeed such a character, he likes to make the other party regret, don't you guys want to continue Mills with a high salary, then let's show you how good he is!
The Spurs are indeed the kind of team that likes to do things that make their opponents regret. It is also called turning waste into treasure. Of course, this cycle does not necessarily have to be one year or two, but it may also be four or five years.

Anyway, at this stage, George Hill is definitely better than Leonard, but almost all managements have seen Leonard's progress. When he first joined the Spurs, his shots were not accurate at all.

But now, with the change of shooting posture under the guidance of Coach Chip, it seems to be quite stable now. Anyway, the action looks really standard.

However, in the second half, the young coach seemed to have a telepathy with Jiang Chao. During the special festival of the Spring Festival, he directly asked Tianchao boy Thompson to defend Leonard.

The battle between the two rookies of the same class is to play a crazy offensive and defensive battle during the Spring Festival.

After defending George for a few rounds, Leonard rushed in and dunked with both hands because of a misjudgment error, and the young coach mercilessly replaced him.

George's background board, Mr. Ka's teaching, the stalk will start from this time.

However, the person replaced by the young marshal is not a striker, but a white rookie guard Thompson who has tall arms but is weak in confrontation.

"Come on, KT!"

The director of Anta next to him is high, and Thompson can sell hundreds more pairs of KT1 shoes for one minute more.

The box where Jiang Chao is located here is the same, especially when Thompson took the initiative to confront Leonard and directly clinging to Beverly's defense, how about a direct climax? They just want to see such a scene appear!

The young coach has already seen through Leonard off the court. He is the kind of player who likes to eat the "small bargains" of GDP. body.

The Spurs are also very smart. Although the GDP trio now average 29 minutes per game, they are basically on the court in every round during non-garbage time. Their personal abilities and the ability to pass the ball are too fearful for opponents. .

And players like Leonard and Tucker are too easy to follow them to eat cookies. Tucker is okay, now he only plays his own sweet spot on the outside when the insiders are all big and tall.

But Leonard is a new force, the kind who likes to play fast breaks and run back to challenge big center players, so it is easy to run out of opportunities when the opponent is not closely guarding him. He still has a certain three-point ability.

Thompson's role is to stick to him completely, not letting him make moves, and follow him when running. Thompson's lateral movement is much faster than the Knicks' backup striker. When shooting, Thompson is about the same height as Leonard, and he can also cover him. .

So in the first round, Ginobili wanted to take the initiative to find Leonard again. Leonard had no chance to run forward or backward, and was firmly defended by Thompson.

And the physical advantage cannot be used because there is no possession of the ball. As we all know, the position that can best use the physical advantage is the ball-holding position, which can be rolled all the way from the three-point line to the basket.

Thompson's role in the Knicks is very simple. He just runs around the bottom line. Leonard is hooked by the big Yao Ming. Thompson's offense is not as hesitant as Leonard's. Catching the ball is a flick and goes straight in!
Handsome!

"The gambler's branch has risen."

Jiang Chao applauded in the box, and the words "Tang God" made the girls stunned.

my God?

Did you hear me right, it was God of Tang? ?
Stronger than Curry Howard, he can't wait for Jiang Chao to say "Ku Shen Huo Shen", at most "Master Huo".

Tang Shen's nickname is too bluffing.

"Subconsciously, yelling, I'm calling Tang Wei."

Jiang Chao touched his forehead in embarrassment. This cannot be spread. At that time, don't be like the former Warriors boss Laco who was madly spread and knelt down to Thompson in the player tunnel.

It is indeed too early for him to call God Tang.

Because after the ball, Popovich also called an iconic timeout, the kind that rushed to the court to call a timeout, and everyone saw him directly pulling Leonard to "chat".

The old coach deserves to be the old coach. After returning from the timeout, he directly gave Leonard, who had never had the ball, a chance to play singles with the ball. He no longer dodged and moved. With a wave of his big hand, he received a pass from Parker with his back.

Then he used a trick that stunned Harden, leaned in, turned over and took a step back before shooting, the ball dangled into the hoop.

flower rub?

Low singles?

Bullshit!
This one really smells like a dislocation. In fact, it should be played like this on the basketball court. Although Thompson and Leonard are about the same height, but they are a little thinner. Coupled with the difference in wingspan, Leonard played like Thompson. This kind of defender can play as long as he relies on it. Generally speaking, it is difficult to defend successfully when his strength suffers.

This is indeed the case.

But Thompson, who looked innocent and tender, still had a character of not admitting defeat. After being beaten so hard by Leonard, he was "alone" in the next round, and the catch was originally a transition.

But he turned around and shot a jumper, and he hit it!
This is pure luck. The current Buddha is not so big-hearted. On New Year's Day, the Buddha's radiance was all because everyone didn't pay attention to his vacant seat. Now we all know that he is vacant. The transition ball, I didn't expect that the direct shot would be a bit bright!

It's on the bar too!
Yes, they are all in the same class.

I'm still higher than you.

I'm afraid of you! ! !

In the next round, Leonard's pull-up jumper was affected, but Thompson caught the ball and dribbled and was directly intercepted by Leonard with a big hand.

"Let's just put this on the court and fall in love? Haha."

Jiang Chao laughed off the court.

This kind of game is too rare, it's all tacit understanding.

"Don't be afraid, Thompson, just dribble in front of him, step in and dunk him!"

"Take advantage of the speed!"

Jiang Chao in the box danced and danced.

But it was Harden who did it.

The only small shortcoming of Kawhi Leonard's defense is that the speed of following is a bit slower, and he does not have the speed of flying to chase caps like James.

So in the next round, Harden waved his hand to show that he will avenge you, and took the initiative to face Leonard in the pick-and-roll. I have heard that he is the best defense in this draft, and Harden's strongest is no difference. singles.

Harden's tactical status is much higher than that of Thompson, and the Knicks players are also much more familiar with him. He has completed the 4-1 position the moment he completes the defense change, and the inside line is on the other side of the line.

Then he directly hit Leonard with his skillful dribbling.

Doesn’t Leonard have a defensive obsession? He doesn’t like to use small moves and likes to steal, but Harden’s low dribble forces him to keep his center of gravity to the lowest. Let Leonard mistakenly think that Harden is going to dribble and turn around.

But he is still young, and this is also the first time he and Harden have met. I don’t know that Harden rarely uses the technical action of turning around, and more often changes directions to pass people directly.

So this time, Harden rushed in directly, and watched Harden face Duncan's hesitant help defense, and succeeded in gliding with one hand!

"This is the real glory of the Knicks outside, and the super killer move when they can't open the situation!"

"Harden is still strong... Thompson's dribbling is too stupid."

Commentary:

"The Knicks are helping the Spurs' opponents to find loopholes for the Spurs. They didn't play their best at all, and they were targeting a rookie like Leonard?"

"You can tell by Howard's smile. They didn't regard this as the first confrontation in the division at all. They regarded it as an entertainment match."

"Is this really good... The Spurs are already so far behind, and GDP is actually a bit restrained. Ginobili's physical fitness is flawed against the Knicks' outside defense. Duncan is most afraid of an inside like Howard, who can jump. Tonnage, it is too difficult to trick him into flying after being asked by the young marshal not to take off easily.

And Parker was "introduced" by the Knicks because of his poor three-point ability, but you have to know that the Knicks' insiders are solid walls like Ibaka, Howard, Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming. Your breakthrough guard comes in. wait to die.

So Leonard, who was the only one who was okay, was miserable after being targeted.

no way.

Who told you to target my Thompson? ? ?
In the Knicks.

You attack me with one point, then we will attack you with a bunch of points! ! ! !
"Damn it, Yao Ming beat Leonard ruthlessly. If I were Leonard and the Spurs, I'd be damned!"

Mills on the Spurs was even more closely followed by Beverly, making him dizzy:

"So heartless!"

Beverly showed his big dog teeth: "There are no brothers on the field, only enemies!"

I was discharged from the hospital, I wish my operation a complete success, and no recurrence in this life~~~
Let's work hard to code words first, and make a wave at the end of the month! ! ! !
