NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 409: The king of the final quarter of the Chinese competition, the strongest 175 on the surface!

nba china game g1.

Second half.

After the halftime break, the Knicks also clearly saw that they had to be merciful and merciful. They would not really refuse to give the Heat a chance. In this preseason game, is it interesting for you to win by 58 points?

The Heat's intention in the second half was also very obvious. The starting lineup is gone. You can play whatever you want. If you continue to fight so hard against us, you won't be able to match James and Wade.

There is really nothing we can do about this. If the Big Three start again in the second half, it will be the most uncomfortable thing if they continue to lose points!

So it's better to pretend not to fight anymore.

Sure enough, here the Knicks tacitly sent out a lineup with zero chemistry and played for a while. The Knicks also had a "death" lineup, but it was a death offense and an ordinary defensive lineup.

That's Beverley, Danny Green, Hayward, David Lee Ibaka.

It looks like a good lineup, but because there is no passer, the offense and defense will be the most stretched.

Moreover, the "single-point blast" ability of these people is not very good. David Lee and Ibaka are the ones who can directly catch the ball, but the three outsiders do not have very good passing ability, and their height is not good.

Being on the short side, this lineup is prone to being attacked inside and is completely constipated on its own offense.

Sure enough, this lineup was quickly caught up by the Heat, and it wasn't that the Heat scored explosively, but that no one in the Knicks could score.

But it also made the game more enjoyable.

The players worked very hard and did not give up. After being chased within 10 points, Hayward carried Chalmers and made a one-handed chop that ignited the audience. Naturally, the young coach cannot let you win in the end.

ball.

To be on the safe side, just replace Harden with him. If Deng leads the team, he can bring any 4 players with him. Because Deng has his own system, he can develop many styles of play when holding the ball in the top arc, which is better than Curry's persistence.

The balls are easy to use.

Explaining Zhang Lili:

"The Knicks have fielded their strong lineup again!! This is much more reasonable. We can't let Danny Green and Beverley play guards. They can just replace Harden or Curry as a combo guard."

Yu Jia: "To be honest, the Knicks' shooting percentage was a little low just now. In fact, the Knicks generals are like precision machines. Everyone performs their duties, from offense to pick-and-roll to feints and moves. They all let us

I saw how well-trained they were.”

Xu Jicheng:

"The defense is also good. I found that their rookies have good defensive abilities except Thomas, who didn't show it. Last year, George improved rapidly under the training of Clifford's defensive coach. Butler's weight is also here. In addition,

The Knicks have the strongest inside line with a high degree of hardness, and if they really set up a defensive lineup, it would be an iron-barrel formation."

"Yes, I also feel that the only one in the league who can defend them is themselves."

"Hurry up and get the archers, we want to see thousands of arrows fired."

Su Qun also reassured fans on the Super God Forum:

"The Knicks have a bunch of ball-handling shooters who haven't played yet, and Howard and Yao Ming in the paint haven't played in the second half either. That's the most killer thing about the Knicks. They combine the inside and outside. While they're invincible inside, they'll always give you a try from time to time on the outside.

"Yeah, we can't forget this FMVP just because Howard only played 9 minutes!"

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led the Heat by 11 points 89:78 entering the fourth quarter.

This score was already extremely high and brought a scoring feast to the audience.

As the fourth quarter started, the three Chinese players Yi Jianlian, Yao, and Li Kai returned to the court for a limited time and played 3 minutes of coordination. The last 9 minutes were left to the pure rookies.

Stephenson, Butler, and Ibaka, who has never been in his prime, have big white edges.

As for the point guard position, Thomas, who had been on the bench for three quarters, was finally assigned by coach Stevens to play.

Thomas ran onto the field to hand over to Matthews. He couldn't hold back any longer. He had waited too long.

Seeing Butler and Bai Bian shining brightly, and the junior fellow student playing the electric guitar, could he not be impatient???

Just like the reason why Mills left, Thomas is actually the second best player in the team, and in 1v1, his success rate is much higher than that of his younger brother who is good at showing off.

Because Thomas accelerated with one move and relied on the defender to stay in the air for a layup, which was unsolvable.

It’s just that he himself didn’t expect that the young coach would let him play so late in the preseason!!

Fans think there is no problem. Thomas is a player at the end of the second round. Even if he is not on the board for a second, it is normal. But only Thomas thinks he should be on the board!!

So for the first ball, he passed it to him from the white side and directly accelerated with his crotch, passing the three Heat guards in one step, and quickly drifted forward and made a two-point mid-range shot!!

He didn't care about tactics or other people's demands for the ball. He didn't play for even a minute, he just wanted to do it!!

And he was really fierce. In the next round, he directly withstood the opponent's point guard to pass the ball, and the ball was intercepted by Butler.

The junior dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt and passed it to Thomas who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Thomas didn't have any intention of going for a layup, so he just made a three-pointer with his left hand and the ball went in!

5 points!!

Come up and score 5 points in a row!!

The DJ at the scene stopped playing music because the player below was only 175cm tall!!

ESPN explains the American Yang Yi:

"Oh my god, this Knicks second-round pick with 175 points scored five points in a row just after he came on the court. He must be too itchy!"

"It's true, but itchy hands are itchy hands, and this second-round pick is no good at all!"

"If he's 195, he'll be the No. 1 pick."

"Nonsense, but at 195 he didn't have the speed and confrontation he does now."

"Haha, the defense is so bad."

However, in the next round, Thomas was directly attacked from the three-point line to the paint by an unknown small forward from the Heat. He turned over and hit the board for a shot!

Basically didn’t dance much!!

This makes the short players who have just raised their hopes dim their eyes a lot. Basketball has always been a sport for tall people.

But Thomas only believes in himself and not in fate!!

He then directly called for a pick-and-roll to find a place, faced the opponent's unknown small forward, and in front of the Heat bench James and others, used an extremely gorgeous fake move to half-turn, suddenly started to speed up, continued to turn around, and directly punished the opponent.

Then facing the opponent's big center, he made a high throw and hit it!

Keep scoring!!!

Some scouts in front of the TV were stunned. They knew that Thomas was very good at blasting opponents in 1v1, but they didn't expect that he would be so good at the NBA level!!!

Regardless of the fact that this is a preseason game, for the rookie players in the fourth quarter, what they see is much more important than the regular season. Sometimes whether they can gain the trust of the team depends on one or two outstanding performances in the preseason.

.

"This... doesn't look frightened at all?"

"Yes, this little Thomas has a big heart!"

"So cool!"

"Jiang Chao... has found another treasure?" Big Bird Bird took a few puffs of his cigar after hearing the news. Oh my god, can he find such a player at the end of the second round?

This style of play is very sophisticated!

"A very experienced young player, he makes perfect use of his 175cm height on the offensive end, like a small steel cannon!"

"A left-handed player with a very soft touch, maybe he has learned from Harden?"

"It's completely different from Harden's style of play. He doesn't use it at all, and he doesn't need to dribble past people with his hips."

The young marshal obviously had no intention of hiding him. After he scored, he clapped and signaled to continue...

Long-range three-pointers, fast-break breakthroughs, emergency stop jumpers after super confrontation...

Thomas immediately became excited in the fourth quarter after seeing that he would not be replaced again.

Even if you are beaten on the defensive end, I will beat you on the offensive end!

This kind of mutual explosion means that the players who purely attack each other have a great time playing, the scores are also very high, and the fans also enjoy watching it. It is extremely exciting.

This continuation led to Thomas Jr. scoring 23 points in the final quarter!!!!

The North American fans were drowsy at first, but now they are energetic. Who am I?

Can 175 do the same??

The next Allen Iverson??

Fans said it was worth taking the first round in exchange. Whatever defense you want, just attack!

With the whistle at the end of the game, Thomas performed a dunk at the end with unfinished content, a 175 dunk? He was wearing a Knicks jersey again.

This scene seems familiar!

Nate Robinson tearfully commented.

But Nate definitely doesn't have such a high shooting percentage. For someone of the same height, only Iverson has such explosive scoring power.

"23 points in a single quarter!! This little Thomas is so awesome!!!"

"A little more stable than Nate Robinson!"

"I also feel that he has such stable dribbling and confrontation skills!"

"This little steel cannon is so powerful, I like it!"

Yang Mi directly took Jiang Chao's arm and shook it: "Jiang Chao!! This is Iverson! You chose a player like Iverson!"

"Low-key, low-key, what's the point."

Jiang Chao is very calm, he is the real king of the end!!

He was happy when he saw the fuss made by everyone at the scene. At least Thomas's net worth will not be low in the future.

And this is not the essence of human debuts mentioned in the forum, that is, the kind that becomes more and more rubbish after the first show. Thomas Jr. has proven his ability in later generations, especially his ability to play key goals as time passes.

In the next 17 seasons, the name "King of the Final Quarter" does not belong to Durant or James, but to this little man who is 175!!

The title of "King of the Final Quarter" definitely belongs to those players who perform extremely well in the final quarter. Their dominance in the final quarter is the best in the league that season. Such players are often the core of the team.

But if we want to say that the most famous king of the end in the 21st century will definitely be Thomas Jr.

Because there was no such title originally, but because Thomas suddenly became more independent, this title became popular.

In the 2017 season, Thomas became the absolute core of the team. He averaged 9 points per game at the end of the season, which was also the highest score at the end of this century. Even under his leadership, Kyle, a civilian at the time,

The special man also won the first place in the Eastern Conference and was selected to the All-Star and All-NBA teams.

The Greens were ranked first in the Eastern Conference and still had the No. 1 pick, and Anji was in the limelight for a while.

However, due to his arrogance, Thomas was eventually abandoned by the team and lost his past glory, so this is something Jiang Chao has always noticed.

Including today, he also discovered some clues. To be honest, Thomas Jr. felt a little better today, and his long-range shots started right from the beginning.

But in the last quarter, he had 23 points and 0 assists. He really didn't pass the ball, and he didn't pass the ball to his teammates. Of course, it was also related to the fact that his teammates were not that strong, plus some non-basketball body language at the scene.

Everything demonstrates his independent character on the court.

To put it bluntly, if you play alone, once your offense is not that strong, your overall performance will decline.

But he is still strong, averaging 9 points per game in the final quarter is a genius, and the players behind him are too far away from him.

Who has the highest score in the final quarter of his career? It's Kobe.

In fact, after Kobe entered the NBA, his progress was obvious to all.

Especially after 2000, Kobe's offensive dominance became more and more outstanding.

Throughout Kobe's career, he averaged 6.4 points per game in the final quarter, and averaged 7.4 points per game in the playoffs.

The second-leading scorer at the end of this century is James.

James' dominance is the best in the current league. At every critical moment, he has absolute possession of the ball.

In the final quarter, James averaged 6.3 points per game.

After coming to the playoffs, James averaged 7.2 points per game.

But they are not as exaggerated as Thomas's average of 9 points per game in the final quarter of his two peak seasons. Today's 23 points in the final quarter is suspected of being a garbage time score.

But a garbage time mvp is also an mvp!

His score was the third highest in the game.

132:118

Everyone scored equally, with basically more than ten points scored. The highest scorer was James from the Heat, with 27 points.

The second-highest score is Harden of the Knicks, who scored 25 points, and the third-highest score is Thomas Jr.’s 23 points, all of which were scored in one quarter. Isn’t that an exaggeration?

Some people have even asked about the price of Thomas. With his contract, any team has room to trade, but obviously to trade for such a second-round treasure, it is impossible not to trade for a starter.

Due to the previous experience of Jennings having an explosive rookie season, many teams are in a wait-and-see mode, but in fact, Knicks executives know that Thomas Jr. is not in Boss Jiang's plan.

If you want to say who admires the long-man league the most, the young owner of the Knicks recommends it the most. They recruit all long-term players. In the past two years, they have been focusing on the forward group. Nate Robinson has at least proved himself in the playoffs.

.

If he really wanted to build the strongest 175 on the planet, he wouldn't have let Nate go at that time.

But the boss definitely chose him to be useful, so Sean Marks kept secretly putting him on the shelf to accept offers.

Given the right opportunity, Thomas will change clubs quickly. To be honest, what the Knicks are most in need of right now is defenders.

Other positions may have hidden dangers of alternation between old and new players, but the new players at the guard position were all selected in the 2009 draft. In the third season of this year, they are all sharpening their martial arts skills.

This is why the Knicks defenders are not worried about Thomas' 23 points in a single quarter.

Who hasn’t had a highlight reel?

Danny Green scored 9 three-pointers in the half, not to mention Curry and Harden, who all had 50 triple-doubles in a single game.

And they are all in their prime, and the defense of Beverley and Matthews is much more reliable than Thomas...

Therefore, if we really reach the regular season playoffs, Thomas will not have much chance.

This kind of preseason game with a bit of a performance and low intensity is very suitable for Thomas to show off.

Anyway, both sides were happy in the end, the point difference was not too big, the Knicks' rookie performance was eye-catching, the Heat's big three had good statistics, and the first game of this NBA China game ended perfectly!!!

Brother Chao is also very satisfied, because he also gave Thomas a lot of marketing:

"I declare that he is the strongest 175 on the surface!"

Let’s start playing the boss’s tactics!!

I eat every day during the Spring Festival. I feel sorry for myself if I don’t gain 5 pounds. Tomorrow is the God of Wealth Day. I hope my book will sell well this year!!!
