The glory of the center

Chapter 127 6 points in a row

In the first month of the New Year, the league's schedule is easier than the previous two months, and the Suns schedule is also easier than the previous two months. This month, they only have one back-to-back. After a day off on New Year's Day, they need to play 76ers and Knicks back to back, and both are away.

In the game against the 76ers, the Suns' team was in a somewhat sluggish state. The Suns players, including Zhao Yue, did not find a sense of attack in this game, while the 76ers at the other end were highly motivated against the top seed Suns. The final score remained at 82:90, and the Suns lost to 76ers by 8 points.

After playing the 76ers in Philadelphia, the sun rushed to New York to challenge their next opponent, the New York Knicks.

Now all the teams in the league regard the Suns as a challenge, and the two teams have played against each other, so the Knicks are also eager to win this game at home.

A month ago, Stadmeier took a break due to injury. In the previous game, Xiao Si just returned and led the Knicks to victory. Because of this, Knicks fans have more expectations for this game. They believe that a healthy Knicks' record will definitely stop there.

Channing Fry suffered a minor injury in the game against the 76ers. For the sake of safety, Elvin Gentry put him on the inactive list in this game. Zhao Yue is still the starting center, and the power forward is replaced by Massin Gotat. Gentry is still under observation of Yi Jianlian. Small forward Cameron Ann Tony, shooting guard Wens Carter, point guard Steve Nash.

On the Knicks side, the starting center is Tyson Chandler, power forward Amarley Stadmeier, small forward Bill Walker, shooting guard Landry Fields and point guard Iman Shanbert. After pardoning Billups, the Knicks introduced Byron Davis, but Beard has not played for the Knicks this season because of injury.

Zhao Yue and Chandler jumped the ball. Although Chandler was dominant in height, the gap between the two was not big. Zhao Yue's bounce was enough to make up for such a gap, and the Suns took the lead in gaining the right to attack.

Zhao Yue did not fall to a low position. After Nash dribbled the ball to the half, Zhao Yue took the initiative to block and dismantle it. Nash broke through the inside line to attract Stadmeyer's defense, and then the ball was handed over to Gotat's hand. Gotat took the ball under the basket and easily dunked it.

The ball on this side of the Knicks was handed over to Bill Walker, who caught the ball at a low level and attracted the Suns' defense to shrink, and then divided the ball to the outside line. Landry Fields caught the ball and hit it with three points.

In the last game, the Knicks beat the Pistons by 30 points, with a shooting rate of 60%. So after seeing Fields' first three points after the start of the game, the atmosphere at the Knicks' home court also became hot in an instant.

In several successive attacks, Zhao Yue mostly mentioned the high position to block Nash, and even if he occasionally received the ball, he quickly passed the ball out. Nash is the starting point of the Suns' attack. The weakest weakness of the Knicks lineup is the point guard. Nash has a huge advantage over Shanbert, and Gentry also consciously focuses the attack on Nash when arranging tactics.

Schubert couldn't prevent Nash at all. Nash used his breakthrough ability to rush into the inside line again and again. He either scored or assisted his teammates, which was very efficient.

The Knicks at the other end also maintained a very good shooting feel after the start of the game, firing frequently at medium and long distances, and the score can also keep up with the sun.

13:15, the smooth time of the game also passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the first quarter was half of the game, and the Suns led by 2 points and held the ball.

At half, Zhao Yue still mentioned that the high position was blocked by Nash. The game lasted for 6 minutes. Zhao Yue did not score a point, but the rebound had grabbed 4 and sent a block.

With the help of Zhao Yue's block, Nash rushed to the basket again, which was so fast that the Knicks' players did not have time to implement the bag on the outside line. Seeing that Nash was about to rush into the inside line, Shanbert accelerated to keep up, and Chandler also moved his footsteps to follow Nash.

This time, Nash did not rush directly into the three-second zone, but only rushed forward two steps, but the ball in Nash's hand was Zhao Yue, who had been thrown to the rear.

Zhao Yue received the ball, and Chandler immediately turned around and ran back. Zhao Yue hasn't taken action today, but this does not mean that Chandler dares to put Zhao Yue in an empty position.

"Sure enough!" Chandler rushed back to Zhao Yue. When he was still one step away from Zhao Yue, he saw that Zhao Yue, who received the ball, had already held the ball and jumped up and hurriedly jumped on it.

Chandler's defense realized that the position speed was also very fast, but it was still slow for Zhao Yue. When Chandler came back, Zhao Yue had already got enough space to shot and decisively throw the ball against Chandler's defense Zhao Yue.

"Wo!" The ball fell directly into the basket, clean and neat.

The Knicks launched an attack, and Shanbert still handed the ball to Bill Walker after dribbled the ball to half-court. This time, Walker did not take action, so he raised his hand and sent the ball to Stadmeyer.

Stadmeier, who received the ball, held the ball in the basket and hit Gotat. After a fake shot, he smashed the ball on the floor. Stadmeier rushed to the basket. Although Stadmeier scored today, he hit a jump shot, and hitting the basket was also the first time in the game.

Gottat's strength is good. The Polish hammer is not for nothing. The tight top next to Stadmeier did not let the other party rush up completely. Stadmeier tried to forcibly open Gotat but failed.

After all, Stadmeyer is on the initiative. Although he could not completely open Gotat, he also suppressed Gotat to move towards the basket.

Turning around and coming to the three-second zone with Gotat, Stadmeier suddenly stopped and turned around, used the emergency stop and Gotator to open the space, and then turned around and flashed into the three-second zone.

Gothat's reaction was also quite fast, and he quickly moved his feet sideways. He stood on Stadmeier's side again, but Stadmeier also jumped up at this time.

Leaning on Gottate, Stadmeier threw the ball towards the basket. At the moment of shooting, Stadmeier suddenly found Zhao Yue rushing over on one side, and his face immediately changed slightly.

Zhao Yue followed Chandler on the left bottom line. At first, he was not ready to make up for the defense. He saw that Stadmeier flashed into the three-second area to prepare for the basket from the left side. Realizing that there was a chance, he rushed over quickly.

rushed out from the side and flashed behind Farid. Zhao Yue jumped up and waved his weights with his right hand to stir up the basketball that had just flown over Gotat's head.

"Bang!" Although Stadmeier prayed that the ball had begun to fall when Zhao Yue hit the basketball, the reality obviously disappointed him. The ball had not yet flown to the highest point. Zhao Yue's big hand had hit the ball on the top of Gotat's head.

"Pick up the ball!" Seeing the ball flying out of Gotat's head, Zhao Yue immediately shouted.

Several players rushed towards the ball, and Nash once again showed the speed of his son of the wind. He was the first to rush to the ball and grab the ball that was about to fall to the floor.

"Quick attack!" Seeing Nash pick up the ball, the idea flashed in the head of the Suns at the same time, and then began to run to the other half.

Zhao Yue encountered some small trouble at this time. After landing, he was about to start the forward rush, and he was blocked by Gotat, who also had the same idea. In order to dodge Stadmaier, Gotat took a step to the right, just blocked Zhao Yue's forward road.

After a little delay, the Knicks' players have seized the time to retreat, and the Suns' outside players did not play more with less. Nash stopped after rushing to the three-point line, and then turned his eyes to Zhao Yue and Gotat who ran from the rear.

Zhao Yue ran to the left side of the top of the arc, and the ball in Nash's hand had also been sent over. Although the Knicks defense was not fully formed, Chandler had stopped Zhao Yue.

After receiving the ball, he rushed forward and stepped into the three-point line. Zhao Yue pulled the ball to the right, which seemed to be strong from the right. Chandler also stood firmly and prepared to welcome Zhao Yue's forward.

At this time, Zhao Yue stepped forward with his left foot, and the ball he was going to push to the right was also suddenly pulled back to his body, and his wrist shook gently. The ball just passed between the two crossed legs. While his left hand caught the ball, Zhao Yue's body suddenly accelerated to the left.

** Become a human! Zhao Yue's action was completely beyond Chandler's expectation. He had not been able to react, but Zhao Yue had rushed from his side to the basket.

"Wan!" An uproar sounded from all corners of the court. Even as opponents, Zhao Yue's surprise still made them feel amazing.

"Wow!" On the Sun bench, a team of Sun substitutes stood up excitedly from their seats and exclaimed, even Gentry.

"Wo!" After rushing from Chandler's side and taking a big step forward, Zhao Yue stepped on the floor and rose into the air. At this moment, no Knicks player had time to make up for the basket.

His body stretched extremely in the air. Zhao Yue's right hand grasped the ball straight and flew to the basket and quickly split it!

"Bum!" Dunk, the ball!

The game is still continuing. Zhao Yue received the ball at a low level. This is the first time Zhao Yue has received the ball at a low level since he played in the first quarter. Chandler did not dare to be care at the back of Zhao Yue. Zhao Yue did not score a point in the first six minutes of the game, but in the past minute, Zhao Yue's two moves were converted into points.

15:19, after Zhao Yue completed the beautiful dunk, Chandler found an opportunity to fight back at the other end and found the opportunity to score under the basket when Zhao Yue made up for the defense. However, even so, the Suns have already narrowed the difference to 4 points, and what the Knicks need to do now is to stop Zhao Yuejin. One step to make the difference bigger.

After receiving the ball and leaning on Chandler's back, Zhao Yue began to squeeze. No one came forward to attack. Of course, Zhao Yue would not let go of such a singles opportunity.

Chandler's strength is good, but there is still a gap compared with Zhao Yue. The front of his strength is still inevitably pushed back by Zhao Yue.

Seeing Chandler getting closer and closer to the three-second zone, the Knicks' players finally couldn't help attacking, and Bill Walker rushed over from the bottom corner.

When Walker was about to rush to him, Zhao Yue paused slightly and looked at Anthony on the outside line. Zhao Yue's movements made Walker's footsteps slow down, and Chandler behind him also breathed a little because of the reduction of pressure. At this time, Zhao Yue's body suddenly rotated to the left, completely suppressing Chandler behind him. At the same time, Zhao Yue turned around and rushed forward quickly along the bottom line.

"Bad!" Aware that Zhao Yue was about to rush past him, Chandler was secretly anxious, but he was suppressed by Zhao Yue's power. At this time, he could not do anything else to stop Zhao Yue from rushing forward. At this time, he could only move horizontally, hoping to force Zhao Yue into the basket and prevent Zhao Yue from dunking on this side of the basket.

"Hmm?" Chandler's efforts were successful. After completely getting rid of Chandler, Zhao Yue had drilled directly into the basket, and by this time, the Knicks' defense player had also arrived, Amaleh Stadmeyer.

Stadmeier stood under the left basket. If Zhao Yue wanted to drill through the basket and attack from the left side, he would hit him directly.

Stadmeyer's position is so good that it is difficult for Zhao Yue to even pass the ball to Gotat. Stadmeier was obviously very satisfied with his defense. He couldn't help but be a little proud when he looked at Zhao Yue. He really wanted to see what Zhao Yue could do with this ball.

Jump! Zhao Yue had picked up the ball and took a step and must deal with it in time. At this time, he made an unexpected decision for Stadmeier, and he jumped into the air.

Zhao Yue did not jump forward, but jumped to the top of the arc. At the same time, his body began to rotate again. While flying out from the front of the basket, Zhao Yue had also finished turning around and facing the basket.

Such a hasty take-off made Zhao Yue have too little time to adjust in the air. When his sight could finally see the basket, his body almost lost his center of gravity and fell to the floor, and on the side, Chandler had also waved his hand and rushed up.

leaning back, Zhao Yue can't care that he will lose his center of gravity. The most important thing now is to open up space with Chandler to avoid the other party's block.

The space for jumping under the basket is limited, and time is tight. Zhao Yue can't exert his real bounce ability at all. At this time, even Zhao Yue feels a little difficult to force backwards. He feels that his back has reached the limit. Thinking that he should be able to avoid Chandler's block, Zhao Yue's wrist trembles gently. Push the ball out and throw it into the basket.

The ball could avoid Chandler's palm, flew to the top of the basket and fell down, plunged into the net, and hit two points!

"Wo!" After falling into the floor, his center of gravity sat on the ground unstablely. When he heard the sound of wiping the net, Zhao Yue immediately got up from the ground and roared with his fist.
