Chapter 560 [If the face is ashes, it is completely different]

Chapter 560 [If the face is ashes, it is completely different]

The Knicks players couldn't prevent the offense, and the Lakers sealed the victory in just one quarter.

Yao Ming scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the quarter, and one person's data broke the Knicks team.

Big Ben was substituted ahead of schedule. There was no objection from fans online. Some people felt that if he did not rest, the Knicks would not even get 9 points, and the difference would be even greater. Everyone has given up any hope for Big Ben’s offense. .

His big face was ashes. This summer, he and his agent negotiated with the Knicks, hoping to renew the contract in advance, and it was a high-paying long-term contract, which was rejected.

If he jumped out of the contract in the summer and became a restricted free agent, he could have made a starting price.But Big Ben knew that after Jackson arrived, he had a little illusion about the Knicks and was willing to continue to play for this team.

As long as he reaches the playoffs in the new season and his statistics are beautiful, then whether he stays or leaves, he will have the opportunity to get a big contract. After all, this is New York, and going to a small city will reduce the exposure rate, which is not conducive to development.

As a result, the Knicks lost even worse than last season.Big Ben's weakness in attacking is also completely exposed. Not only will he not be regarded as the soul of the New York team, other teams will also lose interest in him.

The general trend in the league right now is to score, not stop opponents from scoring, and the Knicks, like most of the NBA's top teams, can't avoid that trend.Over the past few seasons, Big Ben's focus has been on defense, and that won't change.

In contrast, coach Jackson is much less stressed, he will only be questioned, and the big contract has been signed.

Yang Rui was not satisfied with this point difference, and said loudly to the players: "Our goal today is not only to win, but also to win beautifully. The starters played a magical game, now it's up to you. You are called bench bandits. , now let everyone know why you got this title."

"Victory!" Odom took the lead in shouting nonsense.

Knowing it was nonsense, the team members shouted the common slogan of the league together.

In the Lakers locker room, Odom and Damon Jones are responsible for the daily communication with their teammates. They are more like to talk. After thinking about it in the summer, the Lakers management did not find a veteran.

Five Lakers played: Jones, Ellis, Walton, Diaw, Lamar Odom.

The marginal people who did not play were Ariza and Diop, and Louis Williams and Barnes did not make the 12-man roster.This arrangement is because Yang Rui knows that the Knicks lack a big man, and Diop can play a role in garbage time.

Five Knicks: Nate Robinson, Larry Hughes, Jim Jackson, Harnington, Ben Wallace.

The Lakers’ offense on the bench is still very well-organized. Although Ellis is there, they do not focus on counterattacks, but support from the inside. Walton attracts defenses in the bottom corner on the right. The cover cooperated, and the formation opened.

On the defensive end, the Lakers defended in a joint defense, with four people shrinking to guard the penalty area, leaving only Ellis on the outside to defend Robinson.

Robinson's barefoot height is only 172cm, his arms span is 185cm, but his weight has reached 82kg. He is full of muscles and is very thick, like a small tank.If the ratio of his height and weight is placed on a 203CM player, then his weight will reach 134 kg, while the strong James weighs only 120 kg.

What's even more shocking is that Robinson still has a maximum jump height of 120CM, a 22-meter race in about 200 seconds, and even a 110-meter hurdles of 13 seconds, all of which were tested at the University Games.

Yang Rui can only let Ellis go to defense, Jones is difficult to keep up with Robinson's speed, and he can also shoot from the middle and long distance.

Robinson is the Knicks' best rookie this year, averaging 21 points and 9.1 assists in 2 minutes per game, shooting 40.7 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from three.

After a few rounds, Hughes let the coaching staff down again.

Last season, he had multiple pitching partners in the Eagles, and he was responsible for the ball-handling offense.Now, the Knicks only have Robinson's good three-pointers, averaging only 0.8 shots per game. Jackson's shooting ability has declined, and the two insiders are more blue-collar.

Everyone was blocked near the restricted area. Hughes couldn't get to the basket and could only shoot jumpers, which was not his specialty.

In Yang Rui’s previous life, Hughes was a typical contract-year star. After signing a high-paying long-term contract with the Cavaliers, he immediately fell. While locking the Cavaliers’ salary space, it also gave the Zhan and Hei people a reason to attack James.

Why are Hughes numbers falling?It's all James' fault.What?Hughes injured?That was also injured by James, James is a big bad guy!

Later, the Cavaliers management racked their brains and finally sent Hughes away by packing starting power forward Drew Gooden in exchange for Ben Wallace and Joe Smith, the super bad contract players of the Bulls, and the super bad contract players of the Supersonics. Zebiak.The only thing worthwhile in this deal is Delonte West, a combo guard with an annual salary of 189 million.

West showed amazing potential with the Cavaliers and became the king of the...  

In this life, Hughes and Ben Wallace are in the same team. If the Knicks and Big Ben renew their contract with a high salary next summer, there is no solution.

The offensive power of the Lakers' bench lineup has declined, but the defense is not bad, especially in defense of perimeter breakthrough and shooting, which is just against the Knicks, and the point difference continues to widen.

Jackson was embarrassed by Larry Brown.A player of this type of Ben Wallace must have a power forward who can shoot, otherwise the opponent will double-team the outside attackers at will, and the pick-and-roll will be ineffective.Where can you find a power forward who can shoot?

If Big Ben doesn't leave the Knicks, the embarrassment is still behind. He and Bynum also overlap. Bynum has to be the same as Yao Ming back then, or play a power forward and go out to guard against pick-and-rolls.

As long as Jackson is not fired and still has a say in the Knicks, even if Big Ben's contract does not expire next year, the Knicks management will definitely trade him.

Barkley said: "The year the Knicks won the championship, Ewing was injured, Ben Wallace played well in the finals, and he has conquered the New York fans since then. He later won the Defensive Player of the Year twice, a lot of People say he is the soul of the Knicks. Looking at it now, his shortcomings are too obvious."

Smith said: "If the Knicks keep Yao's name and send Ben, the situation must be very different from now."

5 minutes later, Jackson made a desperate attempt to strengthen the offense. The Knicks replaced Marbury and played three guards with Robinson and Hughes. Relying on the speed of the counterattack, they finally broke through the Lakers' defense.

The disadvantages of this arrangement are also obvious. The three players on the outside are too short and difficult to defend. Kobe, Iguodala and Ellis can also fight back.Hughes went to defend Kobe, and the other two counterattacks and forced breakthroughs have physical advantages.

In the second half, Yao Ming returned to the court, and the Knicks immediately wanted to do something.Robinson has been planning how to dunk on Yao Ming's head since he played, so as to stage "one goal to become famous"!

Button Yao Ming is a shortcut to fame, attracting a lot of buttons, this guy who wears 175CM shoes is no exception.

Robinson is a very narcissistic guy. "The Great Nate" is Robinson's self-proclaimed moniker.Born in Seattle, USA, he has been a fearless master since he was a child, and he dared to challenge adults when he was very young.After arriving in the NBA, his mouth is more like a high-powered "advocate machine", making constant noises, sometimes very annoying.

Don't look at his low draft pick, but he is very confident in his own strength. He is going to participate in the slam dunk contest this season and win the slam dunk king.Before that, he wanted to "warm up" the slam dunk contest...
