Chapter 439 What Kind of Avengers Are They?

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets' offensive focus was on JR, and the Knicks' defensive focus was also on JR.

The result was that the Knicks beat the Nets 7-0 in the opening game and took the lead.

In this climax, Ray Allen scored a three-pointer, Landry completed a tip-in, and Mo Williams made a foul and made two free throws.

The Knicks played very quickly, and by the time Cole reacted, it was already too late.

There was a short whistle on the sidelines, and Lin Ying came on to replace Butler.

However, before Lin Ying could reach the sidelines, James was also replaced in advance.

Riley's reaction was much quicker than that of Bicol.

Lin Ying is holding the ball in the high post, and the one guarding him is Artest (Ci Shiping). . .

Artest is older, but his defensive skills are still there and he works hard.

Who doesn’t want to get one more ring before retiring?

Moreover, he also has rich experience and knows that he is unlikely to defend Lin Ying one-on-one. When defending, he focuses on one side, and the other side can be used by Landry to help defend.

The two former Rockets teammates cooperated tacitly and made dumplings for Lin Ying.

Lin Ying decisively scored the ball.

He has no obsession with data. His teammates are in good form tonight, so he doesn't mind being a green leaf for a while.

The one who received the ball was Granger who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Unlike the backup small forward position that Karl gave him, he is the space fourth position under Cole.

The Knicks' help defense rotated quickly, and Artest fought hard to save Granger when he took action.

"Uh-huh!"

But Granger resisted the interference and threw the ball in!

35 to 33!

The Nets took the lead again!

This three-pointer is very crucial!

At this time, the scene gave Granger a close-up shot.

Many people also remembered that Granger was still with the Nets.

There are so many things happening in this league every day. Granger's joining the Nets caused quite a stir, but was quickly forgotten by the fans.

Moreover, Granger's performance after joining the Nets was average. Except for his good performance against the Pacers in his first game, he spent most of the time sharing the substitute small forward with Crowder.

But this three-pointer made fans pay attention to him again!

Also noticing him again was James.

In the Knicks' next offensive round, James called on Landry to pick and roll and then directly attacked Granger.

Before Granger was injured, he could match up with James, but after the injury, he couldn't keep up with the pace of the confrontation. He was fouled by James before he could help defend.

Moreover, it was a shooting foul.

James is very smart and uses Granger as a breakthrough point for the Nets.

And a very interesting scene is that before going to the free throw line, James looked back at Granger with a curious look.

It feels like:

"Oh, so you are still alive."

This reaction is "normal". Granger was one of the best small forwards in the Eastern Conference back then, but now he can't even be considered a core rotation.

Granger's expression didn't change much, but his clenched fists still said it all.

After all, James knows better than anyone why he is like this.

Lin Ying noticed this and went up to talk to Granger.

It's not to comfort the mentality or anything, but to talk about some defensive details.

James made two solid free throws to help the Knicks tie the score again.

Looking back, Lin Ying directly caught the ball in the low post.

This is to make it easier for the Knicks to double-team, and then he can better distribute the ball.

This time he gave the ball to JR.

JR pulls up and cums.

"Dang!"

Smash the basket and come out.

The Knicks' defense was very focused on him, and he can't get his twitchy touch back.

However, one of the benefits of playing in space is that the inside line will be pulled to the three-point line, and the battle for rebounds depends more on the judgment of the landing point.

Lin Ying showed his advantage and blocked Landry with a precise grab, then jumped up and flicked the ball to Granger in the bottom corner.

This ball never stops!

Granger got a better shot than before.

His eyes were extremely firm, and he didn't adjust his hand before shooting after catching the ball.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball passes through the net again!

Granger's second three-pointer in this quarter!

After seeing the ball go in, he raised his hands and clenched his fists.

38 to 35!

The Nets overtook the score again!

There was a commotion in the place.

They have almost forgotten about Granger, let alone the last time Granger performed well in the playoffs.

But tonight, Granger re-announced his presence to them.

James, continue to look for Granger in a wrong position.

He still feels that Granger is the breakthrough point on the court for the Nets, or he is very uncomfortable with Granger's presence.

After all, you are already a role player, and you still want to be a protagonist!

"beep!"

The referee whistled again.

But this time, Granger was not called for a defensive foul, but James was called for an offensive foul!

Counting the one in the first quarter, this is James' second offensive foul!

Moreover, he also accumulated 3 personal fouls!

James was furious on the spot and excitedly signaled in front of the referee that he had not committed a foul.

The scene was also filled with boos.

They feel that the referee is targeting James tonight!

The referee explained patiently this time.

You pushed someone when you broke through. This kind of action is not allowed, and the person was standing outside the reasonable collision zone.

James smiled and shook his head at the last word.

He was obviously dissatisfied with the referee's explanation.

Because no other referee would call him such an action in the past!

That's what it's about.

Granger was pulled up from the ground by Lin Ying.

He looked at Lin Ying with eyes filled with gratitude.

The defensive details that Lin Ying talked about before were how to deal with James' breakthrough.

Lin Ying's two DPOYs relied not only on ability, but also on insight.

It is a technical job to know the referee's penalty scale and then use this scale.

The ball rights were exchanged, and Lin Ying continued to hold the ball in the low post. This time he went directly to Granger.

Granger hit two three-pointers in a row, and his hand was feeling hot.

The chance of this ball was good, but the moment Granger took action, James hit it at an incredible speed. After jumping up, he slapped Granger's shot out of the court!

The fans cheered at the scene.

After encountering the referee's unfair penalty, James immediately responded with action!

James rushed the ball very fiercely and rushed directly into the audience after blocking the shot.

Kanye West happened to be there. He was exclaiming for James one second, and he was pushed to the ground by James the next second.

He was quickly helped up, and he was not in any "serious" condition, except that the corner of his mouth was bruised and bleeding a little, and his nose was bruised and bruised.

He was more depressed now than in pain.

Co-author: Will he suffer every time he comes to watch James play?

And these two times were all caused by James, which is really... no fxck can say.

On the other side, Lin Ying pulled Granger and said that the ball just now was his problem.

He should have expected it in advance. After all, he has played against James so many times and he knows James' character very well.

The Nets' frontcourt.

Before serving, Lin Ying took Livingston and Granger to communicate for a while and arranged a small strategy.

When it was time to serve in the frontcourt, Lin Ying went directly to the sidelines to serve.

The ball was passed to Livingston, and Lin Ying returned to the court and directly used Granger's pick-and-roll to catch the ball and shoot.

Then just when the Knicks' defensive focus was being restrained by him, Lin Ying passed the ball!

And the target of the pass is still Granger!

Granger has bounced out to the bottom corner after the pick-and-roll.

These are all Lin Ying’s previous tactical arrangements!

This time James couldn't help defend, and the rest of the Knicks couldn't make it in time either.

Granger made another three-pointer after receiving the ball.

His gaze was firmer than ever before.

Even if he was blocked by James, Lin Ying still trusted him!

This sense of trust made him feel excited from the bottom of his heart and put all the cells in his body in an excited state.

Granger, the last general, is willing to go through fire and water for Emperor Lin!

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound of entering the network.

Granger's third three-pointer in the first quarter!

His touch is as hot as a beach girl in Hawaii!

41 to 35!

The score difference came to 6 points in a blink of an eye!

Granger alone launched a 9-2 attack wave!

The scene was agitated.

Now they not only felt Granger's presence, but also felt Granger's threat!

Riley turned around and called out all the starters.

Cole also replaced Deron, Johnson and Chandler.

Both sides entered the decisive moment of this quarter in advance.

Wade came up and scored with a breakthrough throw.

Riley's response was timely and prompt every time.

Lin Ying turned around in the frontcourt and missed.

He didn't attack much tonight, and it will take time for him to warm up.

Fortunately, Chandler blocked Bogut and took the offensive rebound.

Then Lin Ying cut in, received a hand-to-hand pass from Chandler, and avoided Bogut's flying rebound to score!

43 to 37.

Still 6 points difference!

Wade's breakthrough layup in the frontcourt caused Chandler's hitter.

Because of the number of fouls, James did not dare to break through as unscrupulously as before, so Wade took over the right to fire in this period.

He also showed excellent form this season.

It's a pity that he only made one of the two free throws.

The score difference between the two sides hovered around 5 points in this period.

Each team missed an attack. Deron advanced to the frontcourt and started a pick-and-roll match with Lin Ying.

Lin Ying caught the ball, attracted a double attack, and passed the ball to Johnson. Johnson attracted help and then divided the ball into the bottom corner.

Granger got a chance to shoot a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

Then, he completed another quick shot.

The hearts of the fans at the scene were in suspense.

Granger has already made three shots at that point, so there can't be a fourth one, right?

"Uh-huh!"

Granger waved his hand and put on his mask.

I am a corner three-point killer tonight who has no feelings!

46 to 38!

The score difference has reached 8 points!

Two more points and it's double digits!

After scoring the goal, Granger let out a long breath.

It can be seen that he is very emotional, but he is trying to control it.

He is now a shooter, and a shooter needs a strong and calm heart.

Wade's breakthrough was directly intercepted by Butler!

After being passed twice in a row, Butler finally showed his "mad dog" attributes.

The Nets launched a defensive counterattack, and Deron hit Prince with a meat bullet in the fast break and scored the ball.

48 to 38!

The score difference has come to 10 points!

Riley reached out and called a timeout.

Granger scored 12 points with 4 3-pointers in a single quarter.

Without these 12 points, the Knicks would still be in the lead.

This surprised him more than Deron, so he had to take action even if he didn't want to.

Pause back.

The Knicks' players appear to be in good spirits.

Riley is not a chicken soup master, and he doesn't need to be, because his timeout arrangements are all correct, which will naturally make the players confident.

For example, right now, in the first round after the timeout, the others pulled away, and Bosh asked for the ball in the high post. It seemed to be a transition, but after receiving the ball, he directly hit Granger alone.

There is a gap in Granger's size and strength, so he can only lower his center of gravity and wait for help to defend the ball.

But Bosh made two chisels and then turned around and hit the ball.

Lin Ying scored a goal on the offensive end, then switched to Granger to defend Bosh.

But the Knicks had an off-ball pick-and-roll, and Bosh still faced Granger.

And this time Bosh still caught the ball in the low post. Before he could help defend, he quickly singled out and caused Granger's hitter to foul.

After two rounds, Granger really couldn't guard against Bosh.

Bosh was about to go to the free throw line, and the live camera showed Cole on the sidelines.

It can be seen from some details that Riley's coaching ability is indeed much better than Cole. If the Nets were not in good overall condition, the Knicks would be the leading team now.

At this time, the camera was given to see if Cole could react and replace Granger.

Cole has no intention of replacing anyone.

It seemed like the reaction was half a beat too slow, or there were other considerations.

Bosh made two free throws, and Lin Ying made another breakthrough in the frontcourt and scored a layup.

In this round, we can see some of Cole's considerations.

Granger scored four three-pointers in a row. Regardless of whether he could make the fifth one, as long as he stood in the bottom corner, the Knicks would not dare to let him go.

This is the so-called space fourth position, and it is also a key factor in Lin Ying's continuous breakthroughs and scoring.

Bosh was also preparing to play Granger in the frontcourt, but Granger directly chose to go around this time.

James lobbed directly inside.

Bosh still had long hands, completed the ball over Granger's head and then turned around to attack the frame.

It's just that this time he didn't score again, because Lin Ying assisted in the defense. After the confrontation, he blocked Bosh's close shot, and then turned around and grabbed the rebound.

The Nets launched a three-line fast break.

The one receiving the ball in the middle is Deron, on the left is Butler, and on the right is... Granger!

Granger is still guarding Bosh inside!

James and Wade defend three.

Wade was guarding Butler, and Deron held up James and passed the ball to Granger.

Granger caught the ball and flew straight up!

He's going to dunk!

This time, not only the fans at the scene, but also Deron's eyes widened.

Because he saw James' quick reaction, he turned directly to guard Granger.

Granger is about to be...

"Bang!"

Not the quilt, but the handle!

Granger smashed the ball into the basket through James!

His determination to dunk was much more determined than expected. Although James turned around, he had no time to exert force!

No, I didn't have time to exert force, but I stretched out my hand and pushed out of habit, but still didn't block Granger!

The fans at the scene all stared in disbelief.

Lin Ying also had an incredulous expression.

Granger dunks on James after serious injury?

This is absolutely unexpected!

Although James was at a disadvantage because he defended 1 against 2, James is James after all, and Granger is not the Granger he was before!

But Granger's next move seemed to make him understand.

The huge forward momentum caused Granger to rush forward a few steps after landing, and rushed under the basket.

He punched the mat of the basket hard, and then he could no longer suppress his emotions and roared out in a cathartic manner.

Then, he turned to look at James who fell to the ground.jpg.

His eyes were red and bloody.

Although they lost the Christmas Day game, the Knicks are still called the Avengers.

But when Granger stands opposite James, what kind of Avengers are they?
