345 revenge
The Knicks always have a taste of winning this game, but if you think about it carefully, Durant was hit so badly by Zhang Chen, isn't it because they are not as good as others? In this case, it's not a matter of victory. It's just an accident.
In the whole game, Zhang Chen's assists set a career high, reaching an unprecedented eight. His total data for the whole game was 35 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds. If the number of rebounds was not a little less, he would have played a quasi-three-double data today. In fact, Zhang Chen has also been widely criticized in some places. The most important of this is his data. He has never obtained a pair, let alone a triple pair.
Zhang Chen's rebounds are getting more and more these days. After the advancement of his defensive skills, his rebounding ability will gradually strengthen. If it goes on like this, it is not something that his rebounding can double one day.
Durant's early end gave people a reason to attack Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen soon came to the front of Durant after the game, and Durant stood up with a smile. Zhang Chen is still a little guilty: "I'm sorry... I didn't expect things to be like this. I'm really sorry."
Durant patted him on the shoulder: "It's just an accident... However, you won't be so relaxed in the next game. I'll let you taste my progress!"
Zhang Chen smiled and then said, "Then I'll wait. I'm afraid you will be defeated by us at that time."
Durant waved his hand: "That's naturally impossible." He quickly circled around himself and Zhang Chen in his mind to realize the current process. People are often so strange. Some people feel that they have nothing to say even if you know each other all their lives, while others just know each other as if they have known each other for a lifetime. This wonderful feeling constitutes Durant's special affection for Zhang Chen. Therefore, even if he is knocked away by Zhang Chen, he only has some troubles about his weak strength and some surprises at Zhang Chen's rapid progress, and there is no resentment for Zhang Chen.
Now that seeing Zhang Chen take the initiative to apologize, Durant naturally has no complaints.
"Okay! See you then!" When Zhang Chen heard Durant say so resolutely, he said goodbye. It seemed that the next time he met him again, he would not be so friendly. At that time, it is estimated that it will be a stunned and jaw-dropping battle, until the two sides fall.
The Knicks are on an away trip. They beat the Thunder in Oklahoma with their front foot and go to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are a difficult opponent, and the Knicks lost to the Mavericks in the last game. They are going to take revenge this time. They can't let others beat you all the time, right? So the day after the game, everyone couldn't wait to get into the special plane to Dallas, and they were ready to solve this gnashing opponent.
After the Dallas Mavericks' last game, when the Mavericks' big-mouthed manager asked how to deal with the Knicks, the guy looked careless: "I will appear in the stadium on time for the next game and wait for the Knicks to be destroyed!"
"Do you think you will definitely win?" This is a question from a reporter. They also feel that Kuban's words are a little too bold, not to mention that it can also lead to mutual bombardment to earn attention. Sure enough, after hearing the reporter's question, Kuban quickly raised his hand and waved at Fang Yu: "That's natural... What's the Knicks? Do they have anyone who can win? ...I know you want to say Zhang Chen, but I think it's just a guy addicted to women's belly. Maybe you didn't see it clearly... I can see that his face is not good, which is why he wastes energy. In fact, when he first entered the alliance, I predicted that he would one day let the world know him again because of women's affairs. From now on, this prophecy has come true. Kuban is pretending to be the prophet. In fact, he has never said such a thing, but now what everyone wants is his bragging, and no one stands up to refute him. Kuban looked at the nod below with satisfaction and was more proud:
"We will teach New Yorkers who want revenge in this game!" This is Kuban's last fling of his fist as a summary. This sentence makes the Mavericks players feel that this guy is exaggerated? The reporters under the stage wrote on the paper: "The Mavericks manager threatened to kill the Knicks effortlessly. They think the Knicks are just a team that can be easily eliminated."
It is naturally annoying to hear these news in the ears of the Knicks, so they are more imaginative about this revenge.
Coming back to the Dallas Mavericks, Kuban occasionally visited the Knicks' locker room and reiterated his point of view again: "I will make you unable to eat!"
This aroused the unanimous contempt of everyone in the Knicks. Randov, who was irritable and had a huge size, approached Kuban's face with his fist and shouted, "Hey, old man, do you want to taste your fists?"
"You savage guy... You will learn a lesson on the court!" Kuban said harsh words as he stepped back, and what made him hurt at this time was that Zhang Chen also killed him and stretched out his right middle finger: "Get out of here... Damn old man." There are not many opportunities for Zhang Chen and Randolph to share the same hatred. The brothers worked together to break the money. Kuban was driven away in this way, and then there was laughter in the locker room.
The Mavericks were the culprit for all kinds of consecutive defeats last time, so this time the Knicks were full of energy to kill them.
At the beginning of the game, the basketball was jumped by the Mavericks after the start of jumping the ball. Today, the person facing Zhang Chen is Josh. Howard, Zhang Chen followed him and immediately ran through the half.
The person responsible for controlling the ball is naturally the leading point guard of the Mavericks, Jason, the survivor of the traditional point guard. Kidd, this guy controlled the ball in the first half, but he was a little gloomy. Because there is a woman next to him who is cursing at him. This person is his ex-wife, Marina.
Kidd used to be very afraid of his wife. When he was still on the net team, there was a thing that his ex-wife instructed his daughter to steal Kidd's mobile phone. After checking some of Kidd's privacy inside, she immediately jumped out of the background, jumped into the front row and began to break all kinds of things. Kidd was under a strong pressure that day. Under the great pressure of his wife, he also lost the game. With the passage of time, he has broken up with his ex-wife, but today his ex-wife came here to curse again, which makes him very faceless. His teammates are also helpless against the most hard-working home player in the court.
Kidd's possession is still very calm. Kidd is a legacy of the traditional point guard and the current triple-double king of the league. His passing is unpretentious, but he can always punch just right. He chose to pass the ball to Nowitzki after a pass. Nowitzki turned over and made a jump shot on the inside line, and the basketball went into the box, taking the first goal for them.
The first attack of the Knicks game began. It was still Zhang Chen who controlled the ball. The Mavericks were used to Zhang Chen's possession of the ball, but no one tried to steal it, so Zhang Chen controlled the ball through the half without any waves. Then he passed it to Du Hong. Zhang Chen can now get a lot of assists in every game, but he does not occupy too much of the team's ball.
Basketball is in Du Hong's hands, and Du Hong's face is uncertain. In the face of such a point guard predecessor, although he has respect, he also knows that he must go all out. In his hand, the basketball began to hit the ground again and again with the progress of Du Hong's body. Zhang Chen shook off the shackles of Josh Howard next to him and threw away the defender after several clever running moves.
It is not easy for Du Hong to break through an experienced defensive player like Kidd. Kidd's defense is not only not completely degraded because of his age, but also richer and richer under the accumulation of years and actual combat experience. His defense was fully reflected when he played against Du Hong, who was blocked by his defense.
Du Hong also saw Zhang Chen's vacancy at this time. He secretly praised it in his heart. After all, it was Zhang Chen who could always save him from water and fire in times of crisis. Therefore, the basketball in Du Hong's hand passed in the direction of Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen received a pass on the outside line and immediately jumped to the shot. The basketball easily hit and took three points for him, which also let the Knicks open the prelude to revenge with a three-pointer.
Zhang Chen first got three points, which also allowed Du Hong to get an assist. The ball power returned to the Mavericks again. In the first challenge, Du Hong used an assist to reply to the assist just passed by Kidd, which was quite clever.
Then, today's game fell into a state of pricks at the beginning. The Knicks could not completely pull the score to scare the Mavericks as they imagined. The Mavericks did not use their own attack to make the Knicks' revenge impossible to talk about it as they thought, so the two teams They have been quarreling with each other in the situation of alternating scores. After all, the Mavericks are also a strong team in the West. They have good tactical literacy, well-founded advances and retreats, and well-organization in attack and defense. What's more, they also have experienced old point guards like Kidd.
There is no doubt that the Mavericks are a strong team. It is not easy for the Knicks to get revenge. What they need is more effort.
First of all, Zhang Chen's three points and Nowitzki's mid-point shot opened up the situation of the two teams. Then Kidd again assisted his teammates in the inside line to score, making the score 4:3, and the Knicks also used David Lee's layup on the inside line to make the score alternating one point.
The next two teams accepted a short scoring shortage for a short period of time. Zhang Chen lost two three-pointers, and Nowitzky also lost a middle shot. The players on both sides were a little out of shape. This situation lasted until the second and a half minutes when Kidd of the Mavericks reopened the situation with a midpoint shot, and the game returned to normal.
After Kidd's shot opened the situation, the Knicks did not show weakness. Zhang Chen used a base pass to assist Gallinari to make a jump shot near the free throw line and scored two points, and the Knicks once again maintained their lead. Then, the game was forced into a strange circle where the two sides overlapped the scores endlessly.
Neither side will let them. Anyway, the other side will not be allowed to have a lead of more than two points. This situation comes to the eighth minute, and the ball is in the hands of the Knicks, and now they are one point behind. D'Antoni called a timeout outside the basketball court, so the players from both sides returned to the court after receiving his training.
The Knicks control the first ball. Zhang Chen has scored 5 points and 2 assists so far in this game, and this data is still normal. He once again controlled the ball and came outside the opponent's three-point line. Josh Howard, who came up to defend him, moved his footsteps nervously. So far, Josh Howard has not found that Zhang Chen showed a particularly strong desire to score, but he did not dare to relax at all. You know, he was abused by Zhang Chen in the last game. Now he naturally dares not relax at all.
Zhang Chen began to move his steps, and then he suddenly drove full power and quickly cut straight into the inside line. Zhang Chen's terrible speed had already remained in Josh Howard's memory. Now that Zhang Chen was about to open his firepower, he quickly rushed in the direction of Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen was fast in Josh Howard. When he wanted to touch himself, he lifted the basketball in his right hand lightly to the left, and his body also made a big retreat to the left, standing in the other direction, and then the basketball was firmly raised near his forehead in the control of his hands.
The basket was waiting for the basketball to enter in the distance. Zhang Chen's jump shot also flew closer to the basket in Josh Howard's panic, and finally flew directly into the basket in the fear in the eyes of the Mavericks. Zhang Chen raised his score to eight points, and also gave the Knicks a two-point lead.
Being led by the Knicks by two points is already a dangerous signal, which means that if the Mavericks' next goal is just a regular middle shot, they are likely to be pulled apart by the Knicks and then slowly widen the score gap. They also had to fight back with a three-pointer, so the basketball came to Nowitzki, and he tried a three-pointer.
Nowitzki's shooting ability is not only in his middle shot, but also his three-pointer can ensure a high level of efficiency. His three-point shooting rate this season is 36.9%, which is also a relatively good data in the league. Therefore, it is understandable that he chose to save the team at this time. Unfortunately, the basketball did not play its due role in his hands and bounced away in the basket. Fortunately, the Mavericks' insiders reacted at this time, grabbed the rebound, grabbed the rebound, and then got a layup. The layup hit, allowing the two sides to achieve their first draw since the beginning of the game.
Although the three-pointer missed the Mavericks' scoring plan, the two-pointer hit at least bought them time and created opportunities.
The basketball came to Zhang Chen's hand. Zhang Chen controlled the ball at half, and the Mavericks immediately faced the enemy. Josh Howard wanted to make up for his achievements and blocked Zhang Chen again.
The two entangled and came outside the three-point line. At this time, Zhang Chen held the basketball with his right hand and turned his body to support Howard's chest. Then he suddenly took his left foot as the axis, and then his body rotated to his right. Seeing that he was going to use this rotation to get rid of Howard's rotation. At this time, Howard As if he woke up from a dream, he hurriedly guarded in front of Zhang Chen.
However, Zhang Chen's jump shot did not appear in front of him and flew towards the basket at the same time as Howard imagined. On the contrary, Zhang Chen quickly withdrew his body, and then he took his left leg as the axis again. This time, his body rotated to the left. Howard shouted that he was fooled and quickly changed his center of gravity again towards Zhang Chenfeng. Lock it up.
However, he pounced on the air again, because Zhang Chen used two turns in a row. After these two turns, the other party was quickly completely shaken away by him, and he could already jump off the shot without any concern outside the three-point line.
The basketball shot, drew a track in the sky, and flew towards the basket again. After the flight, the basketball crashed into the net nest.
"It's another three-pointer!" Kidd was extremely angry. After the pause came back, Zhang Chen immediately came with two three-pointers, which made their wishes fail. Now that the Knicks have led by three points, let's see how they are going to face it.
"Wow..." The huge boos of the audience came out, and some of the audience urged Kidd to catch up with the score and slaughter the Knicks as soon as possible. Everyone was expressing their panic about the three-pointer. Kidd controlled the ball slowly. When he came outside the three-point line, he immediately jumped and threw. Du Hong didn't have time to defend in front of him, not to mention that there was a big height gap between the two.
The basketball left Kidd's hands and flew to the basket. Unfortunately, the end of the ball was exactly the same as the ball that Nowitzki had just thrown, and the rebound was also hugged by David Lee of the Knicks. David Li, who held the basketball, immediately passed the ball to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen controlled the ball and rushed through the half, and the Mavericks quickly summoned the defense.
Howard is really going to atone for his sins this time. Zhang Chen's two three-pointers just now make him angry. He must guard against Zhang Chen this time, and this is similar to the guidance style of the Mavericks' superstructure. So Howard made a close defense to Zhang Chen directly.
Before the Mavericks' defense fully contracted, Zhang Chen suddenly pulled out in front of Howard. Howard followed Zhang Chen's movements and was able to block Zhang Chen.
And Zhang Chen was a fake move. His real action was to pass the ball to Galinari, who was beside him. Galinari made a jumper, and the three-pointer hit firmly, and the Knicks led by six points.
The three-point rain of the Knicks is often initiated by Zhang Chen and Gallinari. Facts have proved that although the chaotic boxing combination of these two people cannot directly kill the master, it can also kill the master.
