The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Harden can also be regarded as one of the guards who use more pick-and-rolls, but unlike many players who rely on pick-and-rolls to break into the inside and cause damage, Harden's pick-and-rolls are more often used to create opportunities for misplacement, which is more convenient for him to break through. Step back and shoot.

After each successful dislocation, Harden's offensive efficiency is very good, not even losing to the pick-and-roll cooperation between Deron and Stoudemire.

With Harden's performance, the Knicks still failed to take advantage of the second quarter. At the end of the half, the score of the two teams became 61:54, and the Wizards led by 7 points at home.

Judging from the scores of the two sides at the end of the halftime, the Knicks still have the power to fight. For Anthony and other superstars, the gap of only 7 points is only a score that can be recovered after a small burst.

But no one expected that the situation would change suddenly in the third quarter.

The Wizards suddenly made a full effort. First, George, who was suppressed by Anthony for half the court, broke out. He first hit an outside three-pointer, followed by stealing a pass from the Knicks, and succeeded in a fast break dunk.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the Knicks' unsteady foothold, Curry and Green made another three-pointer and instantly hit a wave of 11:0 attacks, expanding the point difference to 18 points in the blink of an eye!

D'Antoni called two timeouts in a row, but still failed to stabilize the situation.

The Wizards' offense is so strong that even the Big Three of the Knicks are completely unable to parry!

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks still failed to stabilize the situation, and the score gap widened again, directly reaching 20 points.

The 20-point difference also made the fourth quarter meaningless.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Anthony led the team to try to launch a counterattack, but no matter how the Knicks score, the Wizards will use a faster and more efficient way to counterattack.

After four or five minutes of the fourth quarter, D'Antoni replaced the main lineup.

No one expected that the game between the Wizards and the Knicks would be so suspenseless, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

After all, this is the match between No. 1 in the Eastern Conference and No. 8 in the Eastern Conference!

The Wizards are the first in the league with 68 wins in the regular season!

How can the Knicks compete with this team? Does it depend on the personal ability of the Big Three?

Although the Wizards do not have the Big Three configuration, Curry and Harden are no weaker than the Big Three in terms of statistics, plus Jamison, Butler, George, Jordan and other outstanding players and two seasons How could they lose to the Knicks?

It seems to confirm the thoughts of this wave of people.

Immediately following the second playoff game, still at the home court of the Wizards, the Knicks were once again slaughtered by the Wizards with a big score without any suspense.

The same rhythm, the same result, the slightly different is that this time in the second quarter of the game, the Knicks took the lead. Although they only led by 4 points, as the third quarter began, the Wizards players collectively exerted their strength. The Knicks couldn't hold back and lost.

The big score of the two teams came directly to 2:0.

At this time, the direction of the media began to change. Many people who were optimistic that the Big Three of the Knicks would use their excellent personal abilities to defeat the Wizards and advance to the second round all changed their views, thinking that the Wizards would end the series within six games and eliminate the Knicks. nix.

"Although the Knicks have the top configuration of the Big Three, it is obvious that the Knicks have paid too much in order to get the Big Three, which makes their bench lineup and role players extremely scarce."

"In the first two games, the Knicks basically lost to the performance of their role players, which can be seen from the statistics."

"In the previous two games, Anthony averaged 28 points per game, Stoudemire averaged 25 points per game, and Deron Williams also had around 19 points per game. Together, the three of them can contribute 72 points. That's already higher than the combined 69 points scored by the first five Wizards."

"However, in the comparison of the bench lineup, the Knicks lost without any suspense. None of the Knicks' bench players scored in double figures. On the Wizards side, Harden averaged 21 points per game for the team, and Butler also Can contribute 14 points for the team, and these two alone give the Wizards a 35-point advantage! In this case, it's no wonder the Knicks didn't lose."

"Unable to solve the gap in the bench lineup, even if they return to New York next time, it may be difficult for the Knicks to compete with the Wizards."

What these commentators are talking about is only a matter of strength among the teams.

However, no one expected that after the end of the two games, the Knicks had conflicts within themselves.

The first is Anthony. When interviewed by the media, Anthony implicitly stated that the team should give him more possession of the ball, rather than sharing the opportunity fairly among him, Stoudemire and Deron.

Once this remark was published by the media, it immediately aroused Stoudemire's dissatisfaction.

Originally, Stoudemire was the first star to come to the team, but Anthony's arrival was a bit overwhelming.

Anthony, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, came to the Knicks with the slogan of going home, and New York fans seem to like Anthony more.

All of this upset Stoudemire.

What Anthony said in the interview actually meant that the team should concentrate more of the ball in his hands, because he is the strongest one on the team.

It was not only Stoudemire who was upset because of Anthony's words, but also Deron Williams.

Deron left the Jazz not because he wanted to be the second or third leader. The reason why he fell out with Sloan was that he didn't want to have such a guy who told him what to do, even if it was the head coach of the team.

But now in the Knicks, there is a player telling him what to do, even if this player is one of the best players in the league today?

...

According to the media, on the plane back to New York, Anthony had a slight quarrel with Stoudemire and Deron. The three were not particularly happy. The coaches simply stopped the three, but the relationship between the three The conflicts that arise may not be so easy to overcome.

When he heard the news, Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.

In another time and space, although the styles of Anthony and Stoudemire did not match, the two did not have any obvious conflicts.

But in this time and space, the Knicks, who make up the Big Three, have internal conflicts so quickly, I really don't know how to describe it.

Is this the story of one monk carrying water to eat, two monks carrying water to eat, and three monks having no water to eat?
