The game was played in a big way.

Chapter 71 The rebounds that the Nuggets’ twin towers couldn’t protect

The Knicks players were in front of the lineup.

Herb Sendek, who pursued an encouraging coaching style, disagreed with Don Cheney’s substitution.

Because he had a deep impression of the Nuggets’ scorer Carmelo Anthony!

That guy is definitely not something that can be restricted by a single starting player.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the Wolfpack also took a different approach and let Wang Song restrict him, and that’s when they won the game.

Now, after training with NBA trainers and the Nuggets’ focus on training, their offensive means have also improved a lot.

The Knicks’ blind substitutions on the defensive end are destined to not achieve good results, and they still have to target them in terms of defensive strategy!

Thinking of Don Cheney’s ability to coordinate on the spot, Herb Sendek rolled his eyes.

He felt that this Knicks coach was even more amateur than himself!

The second half of the game began.

The Knicks attacked!

Wang Song, who was dealing cards from a high position, looked at Camby and faked a pass, but found that the opponent did not move.

Not only that!

Even Nene on the other side was staring at him.

Wang Song understood instantly. It seems that the Nuggets coaching staff has also made major adjustments to the defensive strategy during this timeout.

The coaching staffs of both teams knew that it was difficult to win the game by just bombarding each other.

Only by making a fuss on the weak defensive end can you grasp the key to victory.

Wang Song was not vague. Seeing that he was being targeted, he moved the ball to the weak side and faced Marcus Camby with his back.

Camby, who was blocked at the beginning, was under a lot of pressure and did not dare to be careless at all.

In addition to holding Wang Song’s hand, the other hand also secretly signaled to his teammates.

Nene also waited for an opportunity to move, repeatedly moving sideways.

Wang Song immediately passed the ball to Alan Houston on the wing.

After receiving the ball, Houston faked and passed the ball, deceiving the defender.

The Nuggets, who needed less defense because of Nene’s loss of position, were exposed, and Houston shot decisively.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air!

It was a pity that the force was a little too strong, and the sound of the iron was heard.

“Houston missed a great opportunity…”

The regretful voice of the commentary booth had not yet sounded.

The situation under the basket suddenly changed, and a dark blue figure suddenly tore open the Nuggets’ restricted area built by Nene and Camby.

Continuous take-off boards, getting offensive rebounds from the encirclement of the Nuggets’ twin towers.

Then, before the two of them could react, he completed the second offensive tip-in directly in the air.

There was an uproar at the scene.

The Nuggets fans in the stands all widened their eyes, some of them couldn’t believe it.

The rebounding dominance of the Asian boy in front of them far exceeded their imagination.

Even if Marcus Camby did return from a serious injury, his rebounding protection ability is still at the first-class level.

There is also the second-year Nene Hilario, the Brazilian center who showed excellent rebounding ability in his rookie season.

He averaged 28 minutes of playing time per game, but he could contribute 6 rebounds, including 2.6 offensive rebounds.

But now, the Knicks rookie actually grabbed two rebounds?

In addition to being surprised, the faces of the Nuggets fans in the stands were full of incredible expressions.

Not only them.

The two commentators on the sidelines were also like this.

“That guy just grabbed the offensive rebound against the Nuggets twin towers?”

Barkley confirmed it again in disbelief.

Although as a TNT commentator, he does not broadcast live commentary for every game, and may not be very familiar with every player on the court.

But Feizhu, who was still a player, still remembers Marcus Camby very clearly!

Except for his rough hands, the opponent’s rim protection and rebounding skills are among the best inside players Barkley has seen.

But now, together with Nene, they are powerless in front of this skinny Asian?

“Charles, could you beat Wang Song in your prime?”

Kenny Smith on the side suddenly asked with a smirk.

“Come on, Kenny, your question is stupid! No matter how bad I am, I was the rebounding champion in the 1986-87 season. How dare you compare me with an Asian rookie?”

When asked about rebounding, the rebounding master of the 1980s answered calmly with a firm tone.

But his heart was already in turmoil!

···

The Nuggets attacked.

Antonio McDyess, who was replaced by Don Cheney, had the same result.

Anthony continued his signature three-threat and hit a two-pointer from mid-range.

The Knicks have another frustrated player.

In this rhythm of the game, the two teams repeatedly led in the first quarter.

24:25!

The first quarter ended with the Nuggets leading by one point.

Entering a short intermission.

Domestic fans are already boiling, and crazy bullet comments in the live broadcast room are pouring out like a waterfall.

——【Wang Song scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter, he is really an all-around center! Camby and Nene can’t stand up to the double rim protection. 】

——【Today, Wang Song’s personal data panel is better, especially the rim protection ability. One Anthony broke through the layup and the other Camby was strong under the basket. The two were suppressed and became more honest. 】

——【Alas, but the team score is a bit anxious! Houston really made 1 of 6 shots today, which may be affected by the terrain of Denver. 】

——【I vaguely feel that according to Wang Song’s trend today, he will definitely explode as he plays! But the game must be won! Don’t turn it into a milestone “sadness”! 】

——【Anthony’s offensive was also extremely fierce today, worthy of being the player the Nuggets specifically asked to sign. In the NBA, players with his distinctive style are really popular, just focus on offense! I look forward to Nash or Houston having a small explosion next time, the Knicks’ forward line can’t really be counted on. 】

······

Sidelines.

Knicks bench.

Don Cheney was watched by everyone, and the players were waiting for the coach to come up with a solution to deal with the current dilemma.

But all along, Don Cheney’s tactical board often relied on Nash for offense and Wang Song for defense.

It all depends on the free play of these two stars with their own systems, and now the Knicks don’t have a definite system.

He can only hastily draw a few tactics on the tactical board to end this embarrassing timeout.

On the other side.

Nuggets bench.

Today’s performance of the home team made Bzdelik very satisfied!

A new official has three fires to start his career as an NBA coach, so he was well prepared before the game.

No matter what happens on the court, he has a plan.

But the performance of the Knicks rookie was still a little beyond his expectations. Facing the pressure of Nene and Camby and the influence of Denver’s terrain, he was able to maintain a relatively stable performance.

Especially in terms of rim protection.

His defense under the basket made Anthony, who was attacking like a fish in water in the first quarter, a little restrained.

Fortunately, Anthony’s shooting was online today, and he happened to be able to restrain the weak Knicks front line, relying on the three-threat shooting from mid-range and long-range to score steadily.

Became the key factor in helping the Nuggets take the lead at the moment.
