Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine: [The First Power Forward]
Since the Denver Nuggets traded the former superstar Allen Iverson last season for the 32-year-old Rado local player Chauncey Billups, they have played the best record since the new century and successfully broke through the first round Restriction... Carmelo Anthony also got rid of the curse of the first round.
This season, they have made some reinforcements in various positions, and the lineup has become more harmonious, especially the Brazilian Nene. After he completed the 'egg' surgery this summer and married his girlfriend, his performance this season The status has improved qualitatively. The combination of him and Kenyon Martin is even called the only existence in the West that can compete with the Lakers insiders.
"Our muscles are as hard as a Rocky Mountain!!"
Kenyon Martin spoke strong words to the camera before the game. He was extremely dissatisfied with Zach Randolph being called the number one power forward in the league today. But he restrained his emotions, and he also knew that the Knicks, who were able to win consecutive Eastern and Western championships, were definitely not as weak as the rumors said.
And, regarding Snoopy, they no longer have the arrogance they had a year ago. After all, Snoopy had a quadruple-double in the Colorado Plateau last season in Miami. Of course, he also managed a duchess girl by the way... It's just that this matter is unknown.
But then again, his remarks are not exaggerated. Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Nene, Balkman, Malik Allen, Ty Lawson, plus Joey Graham. What they have in common: Anthony plays the 3 but has the physique of a 4, and Lawson plays the 1 but has the physique of a 2 (and many 3s). and so on. As for Nene, who had breast removal surgery, he was even called by head coach Karl George: "He is our mountain."
In addition to these super muscular men, the remaining players are: jr Smith, Chris Anderson, James White, and three birds.
And, Billups and Afflalo, two mental workers in the Detroit factory office.
To put it simply, Denver is a zoo with three birds and a bunch of animals managed by two Detroit employees.
In terms of athletic ability, it is difficult for the Knicks to compete with it. In a sense, the Denver Nuggets are a team whose shortcomings are infinitely close to zero in terms of hardware.
But... In terms of tactical unity, the current Knicks are undoubtedly much better.
The game started at 7:30 p.m. Western time on December 26th, and Denver's home court was packed. Even though the festival had just passed, the Colorado Plateau was still full of enthusiasm. There was a tsunami of boos when the away players came on.
Among them, the most important boo was given to Duke Snoopy who took a quadruple-double from here last season and became the only player in the league with a quadruple-double.
Their trash talk vocabulary has been greatly updated after Christmas, and they no longer mutter the so-called "Go back to China" and "Damn yellow-skinned bananas" and other foul language repeatedly. Instead, they cursed, 'Go back and play your mahjong', 'Go back to your singer', 'You're a softie who doesn't dare to fuck women', 'Go back and jerk off...'.
God knows what the Colorado people have experienced, maybe the lack of entertainment life on the plateau has led to their sublimation in the art of swearing.
But anyway, Snoopy didn't care about it.
He just came into the game calmly, he was stationed in the four position from the beginning of the game, he had a direct dialogue with Kenyon Martin. Kenyon Martin is an athletic power forward who was once called Sean Kemp's successor. He can be regarded as a famous beast forward in NBA history.
But this year, as his age crosses the 30-year-old mark, coupled with knee injuries, his explosive power and jumping speed have been far inferior to before. I can only watch Stoudemire, Dwight Howard, these brutalist insiders speeding past one by one.
Tonight, Duke Snoopy gave him another experience: a feeling of being able to embrace the moon in the nine heavens, and catch turtles in the ocean below.
When Kenyon Martin tried to isolate and go for an offensive rebound,
Snoopy will stand firm against his bottom plate. This makes Martin, who lacks personal offensive skills, very uncomfortable, and he always suffers when he rushes to grab offensive rebounds.
And when he returns to the defensive end, he will find a very different Snoopy. If we say that Snu on the defensive end is rock solid. Then when it comes to the offensive end, he is flying around, shaking from the free throw line, then cutting in a straight line like lightning, and then passing the ball with various dazzling fake moves... Mr. Zach Randolph on the side got many easy scoring opportunities.
At present, what Doug is least afraid of is the type of inside player Kenyon Martin. Because he is playing more by virtue of game experience, although he still has above-average athletic ability, his lack of active offensive ability greatly limits his performance.
What Doug is more afraid of now is the inside line with complete scoring means. They can forcefully score on top of him with their height and wingspan, especially the one with super back-up ability, which is even more complaining. In addition, he also has some headaches for extremely athletic inside players, such as Stoudemire, because they not only have a height advantage, but also explosive power, speed, and flexibility. With these combinations, it is not difficult for Doug to defend successfully every time.
In the first half of the game, Snoopy and Zach Randolph controlled the inside line of the Denver people, gaining advantages from both offense and defense. But the Nuggets, relying on the advantage of the perimeter, did not let the point difference widen.
However, in the second half. George Karl made a fatal mistake. He asked the team to execute a fast attack in the third quarter, and he hoped to use the fast break to wear down Zach Randolph.
However, this trick has backfired.
Carmelo Anthony has never been a fast offensive and defensive player. Although he was born in the 1980s, there is an old soul living in his body. Since high school, his forte has been taking out opponents one-on-one in a positional battle. He enjoys the pace of the game, and it makes him uncomfortable to have him catch and shoot at a fast pace.
George Karl's fast offensive and defensive battles did achieve certain results from the beginning, but with Zach Randolph off, David Lee and Milicic on, and Duke Snoopy back to No. Clean up the development of the situation.
James Johnson of the Knicks stuck to Anthony like brown sugar. Anthony subconsciously lowered his tempo, took the ball with his back and then played one-on-one. His offensive efficiency is not low, and he still has a 40% shooting rate.
However, the Knicks' hit rate clearly exceeded George Karl's expectations, and the speed was as fast as a meteor, deadly!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Gallinari and David Lee made consecutive shots. Before the third quarter entered the rotation time, the Knicks were already leading by 2 digits.
This made the fans on the scene stop talking about hot topics like 'Mahjong' and 'Chunnan'.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Denver people struggled for five minutes, but as the point difference continued to widen, the whole team gave up their efforts.
Although Chauncey Billups tried to motivate the players, it is clear that this group of beasts does not intend to fight the Knicks in the regular season. They prefer to play with the wind, and George Karl is not an iron-blooded coach. The game naturally entered garbage time.
In the end, 126:107.
The Knicks got their first road win since Christmas.
This game allowed the Knicks to stabilize the seventh position in the Eastern Conference, and they are only 0.5 wins away from the sixth in the Eastern Conference.
The news of the victory came back to New York, and the fans in the Big Apple City were boiling again.
Although Duke Snoopy has suffered a lot of inexplicable criticism recently because of the mahjong incident at Christmas, those guys even started to complain about why Snoopy didn’t have group sex with the Duke’s girls. Is this someone who behaves badly?
To be honest, some New York fans are very angry.
But Doug didn't take it seriously, he didn't care about it at all. Even when Nene muttered to him after a dunk in the third quarter, 'Your defense looks like a personality failure', he just silently glanced at the Brazilian's crotch, thinking that this sentence came from Nene Why is it so inconsistent when you come out? Then in the next round, His Excellency the Duke completed a powerful two-hand dunk. Two minutes later, Lord Duke once again sent the top-level block of the five best shots. He shot down the fast-forward dunk Nene from the air with a slap. This powerful shot directly destroyed the last willpower of resistance in the heart of Denver , their fans even started to exit. Then, garbage time comes.
16 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks.
Although Duke Snoopy didn't get a quadruple-double tonight, no one can deny that his fist broke the heart of the Denver people.
As for Zach Randolph, who scored 32 points and 13 rebounds, he is more like a spear in the hands of the Duke, and he can do whatever he wants.
After the game, Zach Randolph appeared at the press conference. He looked very high-spirited: "Now I have officially entered the peak period, and I will continue to increase my pace and expand my territory!"
His words are full of pride. But the reporters below offered few rebuttals, and the next day's newspapers rarely sarcastically sarcasm the raves. Because... in the age of Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Nowitzki, he is indeed the best at the power forward position, the only one who can compete with him in terms of statistics Stoudemire hasn't been having an easy time of late. His value has plummeted amid repeated trade rumors.
In a sense, the basketball media seems to have acquiesced that Randolph, whose data has soared in the past half month, has become the number one power forward.
Even his recent move past Dwight Howard for third in the All-Star voting list didn't get overwhelming criticism.
...
[It probably owes four chapters. 】
