Chapter 420 (1/2)

J. R. Smith couldn't resist link at all. It was Mike Woodson's biggest headache today.

There's no way. Ronnie brewer and Cameron Anthony made two early fouls, leaving Mike Woodson with J.R. Smith as the only choice. On Novak? I'm afraid the effect is not much better than that of J.R.

Since the start of the second quarter, J.R. has been bumped by link countless times. The same was true of this attack. Link didn't even ask for pick and roll. After a few trial steps, he suddenly accelerated and took a half position ahead of J.R. Smith.

J. R. Smith is a good offensive player, but defense is not mature.

After link's breakthrough, the iron headed Rashid Wallace moved to the basket again. If you think that ”roaring God” has become gentle with age, that's a big mistake. Wallace is still fierce this season. The NBA's fastest record of being sent off for two technical fouls in 85 seconds came from Wallace this season.

Seeing Wallace coming at him, link hit the ball and sent it to Zac Randolph.

Randolph didn't hit the middle and didn't play back to back singles. This season's lean guy took a big step forward after receiving the basketball, he wanted to attack the frame directly!

”No, no, Wallace, no!” Seeing this, Mike Woodson muttered to himself off the court, but it didn't work. The next second, Rashid Wallace brutally blocked Randolph. Then the referee whistled and the New York Knicks fouled again!

”You call it a foul? God, let's play WNBA The moment the referee whistled. Rashid Wallace was not calm, he immediately yelled at the referee, showing the true nature of ”roaring God”.

But no matter how loud the emperor roared, he could not change the referee's decision. Randolph and link clapped and walked up the free throw line.

Mike Woodson is in a state of anxiety. He's totally taken by general Grizzlies!

Just then, Randolph didn't shoot after receiving the ball, but chose to meet Wallace, not because Randolph wanted to be brave. It's because Rashid Wallace has made three fouls after that one!

Only Rashid Wallace has three fouls in a single quarter.

Rashid Wallace has been on fire since he was beaten 2 + 1 by link at the beginning of the second quarter. But he didn't expect that the more excited he was, the more grizzly players would look for him.

After that, link repeatedly broke through J.R. Smith to find Wallace and let him take a second foul on his back. Just now link broke through to attract Wallace to make up defense, but the person who made the foul became Randolph.

On the whole, the whole second quarter, J.R. Smith and Wallace, are the two black holes of the Knicks on the defensive end.

Stevens enjoyed himself on the bench and his plan was very, very successful. By the second half, the Knicks are bound to lose!

Randolph made the first free throw. After the first penalty, the Knicks began to change players. Mike Woodson had to bring Kurt Thomas, a 40 year old veteran, to the court... The Knicks' rotation plan was cut to pieces by too many fouls.

Kurt Thomas is famous for his high level of defense. He was once used to defend Duncan, Yao Ming, O'Neal and other super interior players.

But now 40 year old Thomas, physical condition is not as good as before. He relies more on experience on defense, but experience doesn't cover up all the problems. It's a dangerous move to put Thomas on the court.

But Woodson has no way, can't prevent link's breakthrough, can't contain the rising number of fouls.

Randolph also hit the second penalty, at this time, only 3 minutes before the end of the second quarter, the Memphis Grizzlies led by 6 points!

Anthony has already begun to be unbalanced. He feels that the referee's call today is a big problem. It's unreasonable for the team to fall into foul trouble early!

Anthony didn't realize how big the Knicks were today. The smell of gunpowder blinded his sense of smell, anger blinded his eyes.

When the Knicks attack again, Anthony found that the attack space became extremely narrow. After Rashid Wallace left the game, the Knicks lost an offensive threat point in an instant.

Randolph can now stand on the edge of the penalty area with impunity, waiting for J.R. and Anthony to come to the net!

Kurt Thomas as a height of only 2.05 meters inside, the distance jump shot has been his killer, which is also his main means of scoring.
