Chapter 1897: You and I are no longer a level player

33-23.
The Knicks were not surprisingly behind the Lakers by 10 points in the first quarter.
It may be a bit of an insult to the Knicks to say that it is not unexpected, but you feel your conscience and say that in these years, when you see the Knicks name, you think he matches the word backward...
It's just... strange.
In the first quarter, from the perspective of perception, it was New York hitting out with random punches and then lying down. Yes, it was quite sudden.
At the beginning, Anthony and Ji Feng's scoring matchup was wonderful. The two were able to keep a very high shooting percentage while scoring consecutive points. This proved that they are both first-class scorers in the league.
However, the gap was shown vividly in the second half of the first quarter. When Ji Feng stopped relying solely on personal offenses and began to involve his teammates, and at the same time sorting out the team’s offense, Anthony was still scoring, but almost nothing. Another countermeasure.
This is the same as in the boxing ring where the two sides used straight fists to test each other. After the test, one side starts various combo skills to find the weak points and storms, while the other side... still straight fists!
No wonder it was knocked down.
Of course, it's too early to say that it's too early to knock down. After all, there are still three quarters to play, and it is not impossible to be behind by 10 points, but now there are very few people who are optimistic about the Knicks in the next game.
The main reason is that except for Anthony, everyone in the Knicks is a bit invisible. Oh, Fields is half, and he has to dribble the ball for half the time. The others are almost equivalent to playing, except for running back and forth. Do implicated, except for occasional picks and rolls, the ball is rarely taken.
Take Stoudemire, another Knicks superstar, for example. He only shot 3 times in the first quarter, scoring a goal and scoring two points. This level is simply incomparable with his peak.
And this situation is definitely not what D'Antoni wants to see. The reason why he was invited to the Knicks after leaving the Suns is because Stoudemire is here. He is considered to be the coach who can best play Stoudemire's ability. Before coming to the Knicks, Stoudemire was a super giant in the league, one of the best insiders. He started multiple All-Stars. In the last season of the Suns, he averaged 26+10 per game and 28+11 in the playoffs, a proper super giant level.
But when he came to the Knicks, Stoudemire's data plummeted. Last season, he had only 16.7 points and 8.9 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was only 46%. This is actually unqualified for a center who is mainly inside.
The main reason for this ending is clearly reflected in the first quarter. To put it bluntly, Stoudemire’s play style is very obvious. Although he is physically strong, he is not tall enough and has a mediocre wingspan. In addition to dunking, Lack of stable scoring methods, no mid-range shots, and average offensive ability. Such a player is really difficult to play without a super point guard like Nash.
In addition, his athletic ability declined severely after his knee suffered a serious injury, which further magnified his shortcomings.
The most important thing is that he must match a guard who can pass the ball to play his power, but in the Knicks, there is no such person...
The reason why the Knicks performed amazingly in the second half of last season and successfully reached the playoffs is mainly because Billups can effectively organize the team after coming, and smoothly combine Anthony and Stoudemire to play their respective powers.
However, Billups left in the summer. The remaining two-year show Felton's organizational skills are very poor, and the timing of the pass is very general. Sometimes it is difficult to score the first time even if it is passed to Stoudemire. Stoudemire's scoring efficiency is very low, coupled with Anthony's playing characteristics, is the kind of play that must be opened, and Stoudemire's living environment is even worse.
So the current Knicks not only can't beat the offensive rhythm that D'Antoni is good at, but Stoudemire is basically abolished. He now basically relies on picking up offensive rebounds for scoring, and his position is extremely miserable...
The entire Knicks is Anthony's one-man show, and Anthony is very strong when attacking, but other abilities...
In the second quarter, Ji Feng still stayed on the court, and Anthony was also struggling, and he took the initiative to apply and stayed on the court. However, on the first goal, Ji Feng easily played Anthony.
"Ji Feng holds the ball at the top of the arc, Anthony defends, a strong step, pull back!"
"Oh! Anthony was swayed. He can't prevent Ji Feng. Ji Feng is too fast. Anthony's mobility has deteriorated this season. His lateral movement is not good enough for him. Ji Feng went inside and made a small throw!"
"Pretty! Ji Feng is the first to win! 12 points!" Director Zhang explained.
Anthony is very angry, he wants to get back on the offensive end!
However, he made a confident shot in exchange for a strike, and his feel seemed a little lower.
This gave Ji Feng a chance. Ji Feng rushed to grab the offensive rebounds, actively dribbled a point ball through the half, and Gasol, who reached the top of the arc, received a three-step layup and made Chandler a foul!
Chandler was so pitiful that he ran around and lost a foul...
Gasol made two free throws and the point difference was widened to 14 points.
D'Antoni hurriedly switched back to the main force, but the main attacker was still Anthony, and Anthony was actually pretty good tonight, and he hit a three-pointer in the next round.
However, Ji Feng immediately assisted Capo Nou and returned the color, and then Stoudemire did not make a layup. Ji Feng got the rebound and caused Anthony's thugs to foul!
2+1!
Ji Feng raised his arms and roared!
"Awesome~!"
"Ji Feng played so well! Assists, UU reading www.uukānshu.com scored, rebounds are omnipotent, from this perspective, Anthony is actually not a player of Ji Feng's level." Barkley dare to say. , Not afraid to offend Anthony's fans.
However, after most fans heard this, they said it was true. After all, the data will not lie. Anthony scored close to 20 points in the half. Other data can be basically ignored. Ji Feng also has 16 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals. More importantly, Ji Feng's organization has benefited the Lakers immensely. Everyone scored with 7 players, but the Knicks scored on three people, and Anthony was still the big head.
Ji Feng continued to show his ability. On the offensive end, Ji Feng pulled out to catch the ball. He didn't want to pick and roll. With a little effort, Anthony was left behind by him, looking at Chandler who helped defend, and Ji Feng scored. The ball went to the wing and Kobe made a jumper.
At halftime, the Lakers led by 6042 by 18 points.
Freehand, Ji Feng scored a triple-double with 20 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds in the half. The other 3 steals were the highest in the game. The most powerful was that he only took 9 shots with 20 points and 2 of 3 points. The others were all from Free throws, and this kind of free throws are not the same as touching porcelain, they are all real.
Anthony was the highest in the game with 21 points, but 7 of 17 shots were average, but he was actually considered good in his career, with 3 rebounds, no assists, and 3 turnovers. Although scoring one more point, in fact It was blown up by Ji Feng.
Many fans were deeply moved. Two seasons ago, Ji Feng and Anthony were still at the same level as each other. They did not expect to meet again, and they had already hidden the sea mulberry field.
