Chapter 165: volleyball smash block
Sure enough, the Spurs are a bunch of chicken thieves, from players to coaches...
D'Antoni was stunned when he saw it. I am ready to fight with you, and you are now withdrawing from the battlefield.
No way, D'Antoni Curry repeatedly replaced Eddie Curry, but this time he used Milicic.
The main reason is that in the matchup, David Lee can't withstand Duncan's impact physically, while Millsap can resist, but his height and wingspan are at a disadvantage against Duncan.
So replacing Milicic is also thinking about seeing if some other changes can happen.
The game continues on the court, and the Knicks have the ball.
Replacing Richard Jefferson is Keith Bogans. His defensive ability is far worse than that of Richard Jefferson, and his movement speed is not as good as Richard Jefferson.
But there is no way, the only shot the Spurs can get at the 3rd position is Richard Jefferson, and the current Spurs have not yet waited for their successor Leonard.
Popovich is also helpless. If Richard Jefferson is abolished by the Knicks, the Spurs will probably have a harder time this season.
Therefore, Popovich also wanted to give up symbolically in this game.
Lian Dao faced Keith Bogens with the ball and made a direct jumper from the three-point line. His height of 196cm did not interfere too much with Lian Dao.
"brush!"
The added Knicks have strengthened their defensive strength. Due to Chris Duhon's injury, all the players on the Knicks are now full of gunpowder.
Ginobili lobs the ball to Duncan on the inside, and Duncan originally wanted to go straight for an alley-oop dunk.
But just before he dunked, a figure quickly moved in front of his eyes.
Milicic!
Milicic has the movement speed of a power forward.
Moreover, Milicic was also very fresh at this time, and he greeted Duncan with his hands raised.
Duncan didn't expect that the former parallel importer Tanhua would be so brave at this time.
"bump!"
With a muffled sound, Duncan's dunk was stopped by Milicic in the air. Duncan's dunk was rarely dunked on the basket, and then the ball flew out directly.
At this time, Duncan stared at Milicic with his eyes wide open. This guy seemed to be different there.
Um? Confidence, yes, this guy seems to be more confident.
The ball was picked up by Holiday, who was on the stage, and then passed to Lian Dao who was on the fast break, and Lian Dao dunked directly.
On the way back to the defense, Lian Dao, Holiday and Milicic clapped hands to celebrate.
"Great job Darko, that's how I came here, I believe I can do it!" Lian Dao excitedly gave Milicic confidence.
Milicic also nodded with a smile at this time.
This big boy, who always had a bitter expression, also showed a smile at this time.
The second half of the first quarter completely entered the Knicks mode, and the fast offensive and defensive mode made these old guys miserable.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks maintained a 10-point lead with a score of 32:22.
In the second quarter, Lian Dao still led the bench lineup on the field.
At this time, Popovich hesitated, but still replaced Richard Jefferson, hoping to use him and Ginobili to complete the counterattack in the second quarter.
After he played, Ginobili also used a breakthrough to attract double-teams, and then distributed the ball to Richard Jefferson who cut inside.
Richard Jefferson caught the ball for a layup, but was set on the backboard by a big cap from Lian Dao, and then Lian Dao used his big hand to accept the block.
"no-flyzone!"
Lian Dao roared, and then passed the ball to Holiday, who passed the ball in a fast break and assisted Danilo Gallinari for a dunk.
But on the Spurs side, Ginobili once again used a snake-shaped breakthrough to kill the basket and scored a layup with a pull bar.
Ginobili really deserves to be called a 20-minute marinated player. When he is out of the scabbard, he is indeed inconceivable. He can always pass through the small gaps of people, and then go to the basket with an incredible performance. Score by layup.
But the Knicks, under the leadership of Lian Dao, did not let the Spurs approach the score.
When Lian Dao held the ball outside, Richard Jefferson and Ginobili double-teamed Lian Dao.
Ginobili's body can't stop Lian Dao's breakthrough, but he slows down the speed of Lian Dao's breakthrough.
After Lian Dao reached the inside, Richard Jefferson did not lose his position for the first time.
Lian Dao directly slumped his shoulders to push away Richard Jefferson's defense.
He originally wanted to take advantage of Lian Dao's impact and fall to the ground to cheat a foul.
However, since he had already committed a flagrant foul before, the referee is likely to ignore his foul.
So he didn't dare to bet that if the referee didn't blow it, Lian Dao would go straight to the basket and it would be a dunk.
So, he ate Lian Dao hard, but only after he ate hard did he realize that it hurts a million points.
Lian Dao was a man who sent all center forwards to the hospital.
After knocking out space for himself, Lian Dao also imitated Duncan's style of play and opened the way with an iron elbow.
The pain in Richard Jefferson's chest has not been relieved, followed by a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.
Young man, you are a bit dirty playing ball!
Then, Lian Dao seized the opportunity and got up to dunk.
Lian Dao's explosive power is very powerful. He can complete dunks even when someone is dragging him. You can imagine how powerful this explosive power is.
However, Richard Jefferson hasn't given up yet. He's also been fired. The previous pegboard hat made him the background board of this game. At this time, he has to pay back one.
So he jumped up at the same time as Lian Dao took off to block the shot.
At this moment, Richard Jefferson raised his knee slightly and aimed at Lian Dao's lower body.
Although Lian Dao had long been on guard against Richard Jefferson's small moves, he didn't have more time to react in the air.
Therefore, Lian Dao in the air immediately changed his offensive strategy, turned around to avoid Richard Jefferson's dark feet, and then changed from a dunk to a layup.
"brush!"
"beep!"
2+1!
The referee did not see Richard Jefferson's knee lift because he did it very subtly and very little.
But when he blocked the shot, he hit Lian Dao's left arm.
After landing, Lian Dao's complexion was gloomy, this guy really did not change his mind.
Fortunately, I just escaped by relying on my explosive power and staying in the air, otherwise I would probably lose my children and grandchildren.
At this time, Lian Dao was really angry.
However, he didn't throw a punch at Richard Jefferson, because that's what the Spurs wanted most.
Once he throws a punch, basically he will definitely be sent off, and he may face a suspension, so the Knicks, who have just improved, their record will plummet.
Lian Dao took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, and then flicked the ball out.
"brush!"
Free throw hit!
On the Spurs' side, Richard Jefferson cut to the basket from beyond the corner three-point line, just as Ginobili's pass came again.
Just when he thought he got rid of Lian Dao's defense and made a layup, Lian Dao appeared in the air again like a ghost.
Lian Dao used all his strength to cover the basketball on Richard Jefferson's layup.
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
"boom!"
Lian Dao's full-strike volleyball smash-like block made the basketball look like a cannonball, and it flew straight to Richard Jefferson's face.
If you play it back in slow motion, you will find that after the basketball hit Richard Jefferson's face, it deformed rapidly, and then Richard Jefferson's face was also rapidly squeezed and deformed.
Richard Jefferson's nose collapsed directly, blood flowed across the face instantly, his body fell to the floor, and then remained motionless.
There is still a clear pattern of basketball rubber on the face of Richard Jefferson who fell to the floor.
And Chris Duhon in the locker room happened to see this scene through the TV screen.
Chris Duhon, who was applying ice, instantly had red eyes. He knew that Yi Lian Dao's ability could completely catch the shot, but he chose this smash block.
He knew that this was Lian Dao's revenge for himself, so at this moment Chris Duhong truly recognized Lian Dao in his heart, and it was also at this moment that he was willing to support Lian Dao forever.
In fact, the reason why Lian Dao chose the volleyball smash was indeed a factor that helped Chris Duhon get revenge, but it was more of Richard Jefferson's little trick that he wanted to cost Lian Dao.
