NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 90 Dialogue across the air? Face-to-face confrontation!

After Big Z left the court, the Cavaliers could not bear the pressure in the interior, and he was forced to play early.

But this also caused obvious problems in Big Z’s physical control.

Not like James, who averages 40 minutes per game!

A center with a large tonnage like Zadunas Ilgauskas needs to strictly control his physical strength.

Especially as he gets older.

This season, his playing time is strictly controlled to 30 minutes.

So Big Z, who was forced to play, gradually began to show signs of physical exhaustion.

And the Knicks obviously discovered this.

They began to attack the interior!

Whether it was Wang Song who was double-teamed and not allowed to receive the ball, or Kurt Thomas who was left open, their main target of attack became Big Z.

This has now become the top priority for the Knicks. The Knicks coaching staff does not want to see that guy appear in the final quarter again.

Paul Silas in front of the Cavaliers’ bench frowned and looked unhappy.

He did not expect that this substitution would become a breakthrough.

As his physical strength declines, the state of the Lithuanian center will become worse and worse.

But if he does not make the substitution, the inside line will become extremely empty and unable to withstand the Knicks’ attack.

Paul Silas looked at the two big men on the court with different body sizes, and he was extremely eager for the Cavaliers to have a tall and thin bamboo pole waiting for his dispatch.

Fortunately, on the Cavaliers side, the Cavaliers players are constantly changing, but the son of Akron is always there. James is still causing damage to the Cavaliers’ restricted area.

At 5 minutes and 4 seconds in the third quarter, Kurt Thomas received his fourth foul.

Don Cheney looked at the mediocre Knicks bench.

It took a while to find a player who could replace Kurt.

This guy from Texas is really special. Even if he is just a tool, it is not easy to find a player with similar functions.

At least there is no such role on the Knicks bench now!

Herb Sendek was also anxious.

“This team’s bench is really bad!”

He didn’t feel it in the previous games with less pressure, but when he really met a higher-level opponent, Herb Sendek, the college coach, suddenly felt the role of rotation.

After the game, he thought it was necessary to strengthen the Knicks management.

The situation on the court was broadcast to CCTV in real time through the broadcast camera.

“Ho, this is difficult! Kurt Thomas has four fouls, and defending James will become a big problem for the Knicks.”

“Coach Zhang, who do you think can take on this important task in the Knicks now?”

Zhang Weiping shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In his opinion, the dilemma of the Knicks is exactly the same as that of the Cavaliers.

Both teams have no depth on the bench.

Whether it is the physical problem of Big Z or the foul crisis of Kurt Thomas, it is unavoidable for both teams.

In the text live broadcast room of Xinhu Sports.

Taking advantage of the suspension of the game, fans came out to express their opinions on this eye-catching game.

——【Now the burden of both teams is handed over to the rookies, and it depends on who can carry the team’s banner and rush forward. 】

——【It’s really a strong opponent. Since the Cleveland Cavaliers introduced this No. 1 pick, it’s like a reborn! 】

——【Even the dirty Kurt can’t stand it. I can’t imagine how strong the visual impact brought by James is if you watch it live! 】

——【That Cavaliers forward is really something, but in terms of visual impact alone, isn’t Song Shen more exaggerated? Matching against the 221 center is like holding a little chicken, and it’s hard to even step on the soft foot. 】

——【But if Song Shen continues to beat that guy, the Knicks are in real danger of fouling! If Kurt leaves the court and the Knicks don’t quickly resolve James’ impact, it’s hard to say what the result of the game will be. 】

······

The scene of the game.

Just like what domestic fans are worried about, the Knicks coaching staff is having a headache with this problem.

Herb Sendek’s eyes were slightly shining.

For this forward with full breakthrough ability but slightly rough technical details, the Knicks’ best defensive candidate is not Kurt Thomas at all.

He gave the Knicks coaching staff a surprising answer!

“What?”

“You said let Wang defend James?”

Don Cheney, who was holding the tactical board, was full of shock in his pupils.

He felt that Herb Sendek’s family

The guy must be crazy. It is difficult for two people who don’t get along with each other in normal times to trust each other in such a crisis.

What’s more, Herb Sendek made such a crazy suggestion.

Let a center defend a forward?

That will make him doubt his life!

Herb Sendek didn’t take it seriously. Facing most of the doubts from the coaching staff, he just left a sentence lightly: “Do you have a better way now?”

The Knicks coaching staff was speechless.

Herb Sendek dared to recommend it like this, naturally he had this confidence.

When playing against Syracuse University, Wang Song once served as Carmelo Anthony’s blocker.

Compared with Anthony’s gorgeous NCAA No. 1 forward!

Herb Sendek felt that the skills of the No. 1 high school student in the United States seemed much rougher.

“Wang, just do it! Don’t worry about the shooting of No. 23, just block his impact on the basket.”

Wang Song nodded silently after receiving the new task.

The timeout ended.

The game continues!

Kurt Thomas was substituted.

A warm celebration broke out in the Quicken Loans Center.

“The dirty guy from the Knicks was finally substituted. The referee finally presided over justice.”

“Although I don’t want to admit it, that guy’s defense restricted James very well. Phew~ Fortunately, he was substituted. The next game will belong to Cleveland.”

···

Just as the Cavaliers fans cheered, James on the court was relieved.

Dirty Kurt knew the referee’s penalty scale very well, and his small moves kept causing trouble for his offense.

Now he finally has a chance to release it completely!

Thinking of this, the beast in James’ body has awakened.

Until Wang Song stood in front of him.

He was stunned!

The stadium was noisy and James had a tinnitus.

“This… Dear audience, I think we may be witnessing a historic moment! The first confrontation between the No. 1 and No. 3 picks in 2003 will be staged today.”

“It is an honor to witness this historic moment with you all!”

With an excited tone, Coach Zhang’s voice became a little trembling.

“Coach Zhang, you must say that the matchup between these two is really worth watching. Wang Song was once known as a defensive pioneer in the NCAA. The game that made him completely famous was against Syracuse University. At that time, he defended the No. 1 forward in the NCAA, Carmelo Anthony.”

Sun Zhengping on the side could not hide his excitement in his words.

Compared with superstars shouting at each other from a distance, let the role players bite the opponent.

How can it be better to have a head-on confrontation between superstars!
