Chapter 361: : [Replacement Strategy]

Sam Mitchell replaced tj Ford with sophomore rookie Jose Calderon from Spain.
Calderon and Tj Ford have very different styles. Ford is taking a light, fast, aggressive way. And Jose is a typical traditional point guard who grew up accepting the fiba system, stable, tenacious and immobile.
Sam Mitchell hopes to stabilize the rhythm through Calderon, and to defeat the Knicks with defense and a more extensive position offensive.
But what makes Mitchell depressed is.
The Knicks replaced Li Zhen at the same time, Stephen Marbury, led Crawford, Balkman, David Lee and Channing Frye.
Today, Marbury is no longer the chasing teenager and crossover killer.
He pursued the rhythm very steadily, and with a strong body and sophisticated skills kept rushing Calderon's tenderness.
Although Calderon can draw a lot of experience from it, but ... he must accept the fact that he falls passive on both ends of the offense and defense.
Frankly speaking, if it was not for Chris Bosh to face David Lee's request, the Knicks' main scorer Crawford hadn't found a touch, and the Knicks would continue to advance.
But even so, the first quarter is over.
The Raptors sitting at home are still one point behind.
This obviously made many experts in front of the TV break their glasses.
They did not expect the Knicks to be so ‘stable’.
I didn't expect Li Zhen to be so dashing.
Kenny Smith even said during the intermittent pause: "Tj Ford has always claimed that he is the best attacking point guard in the league today. But I think Bruce's breakthrough is more lethal than him. Maybe tj can make more Change, but the little fox can collapse the opponent's defense. "
This made Damonstad Mayer sniff.
He emphasized that the game in the first quarter was nothing at all. It would be ridiculous to judge who won and lost based on only two rounds.
Then, the second quarter begins.
The two players also played at the same time.
Tj Ford has been prepared for a long time. He sat on the cold bench and thought about it. He found his advantage. He thought he was sensitive enough to get rid of Li Zhen's defensive control. After all, Li Zhen is just okay with speed and explosiveness, other aspects are very common.
Finding his psychological advantage, he took the first ball and launched a rapid attack from Li Zhen's left, and quickly changed direction during the process. Trying to use this kind of movement similar to that of a sports car's tail flick.
Li Zhen did not respond well. His lateral movement at high speed has been very passive.
This is because his coordination skills are not top-notch.
However, he has a brain.
At the same time that TJ Ford started his breakthrough, he began to bury the pit. When TJ Ford went in and then changed direction, he had already contacted Balkman.
Balkman is one of the few new generations of defensive forwards. At that time, he turned away from Li Zhen's tj Ford, and at the same time, Li Zhen quickly caught up.
At this time, Tj Ford's shortcomings in basketball vision were displayed mercilessly, and the overwhelming defense prevented him from finding his teammates.
Moreover, his weak confrontation ability made him stubborn.
When he finally found a chance, he jumped high and just passed the basketball. Swift had galloped from the side and intercepted the basketball on the spot. Then give it to Li Zhen who is going down quickly.
In this scene, even Damon Stadmeier stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.
The so-called physical injury.
This scene is too heartwarming.
This kind of bagging is the cruelest picture for short point guards, although they have a great advantage on the court despite their speed and agility. But the disadvantage of height makes them extremely passive on the defensive end and in the enveloping environment.
That's why nba is naturally discriminated against small people.
"Tj Ford is not suitable for the playoffs." Kenny said relentlessly.
In contrast, Li Zhen, who was thought to be restricted by the defense before the game, quietly once again cut through Anthony Parker's defense.
Although Anthony Parker is a better defender than Joey Graham, but his physical fitness is far inferior to his sister who is famous in wnba, he was cheated by Li Zhen with a cunning worship Buddha, tight Then was blocked by Swift's cover, but Li Zhen has flashed like a fox and entered the penalty area. Before the Toronto defense closed, he handed the basketball to Channing Fry.
Channing Frye easily completed the throw.
yes!
The smiling assassin waved his arms happily on the sidelines.
"The game is so simple." Thomas said triumphantly: "This is an elementary school math problem."
Although his style is a bit too arrogant.
But Stephen Marbury did not expect that the Raptors, the third in the East, would be so 'weak'.
Or is it because ... we are already so powerful?
He was stunned.
The game continues.
Tj Ford is still working hard to prove that he is the first breakthrough master today, but the inevitable thing is that he is a tragic figure.
The harder he works, the more tragic his body will be set off.
In fact, there will always be only one Allen Iverson, and there are too many things that Allen Iverson doesn't have. The power of Iverson can't be compared. He can never catch the ball rhythm of Iverson. Iverson didn't have a mid-range shot ... let alone those precious qualities such as fighting spirit.
He was like a wild beast rushing wildly in an iron cage.
He really can quickly find a breakthrough from Li Zhen's defense, but almost every time, he will be led into desperation by Li Zhen.
His weak shooting ability made him unable to finish in the middle distance, and his height and strength made him unable to get a breath in the penalty area.
He is a quasi-elite player, yes.
However, he met Li Zhen. I met a 191 man who was more explosive than him, and the speed did not pull him out of the gap. In particular, this guy was a genius at the age of 16 who was admitted to Harvard, and he also got it from Paris Hilton last Friday 2 points agility.
Tj Ford was frozen.
Also frozen was Damon Stadmeier's chatter on TV, and the words of the experts before the game.
Like all comparisons that happened to Li Zhen in the past, they swallowed the bitter fruit again. Of course, they will also do nothing when they do nothing, and then when the next such comparison appears, they will jump out and talk.
The greatest experience history has given to mankind is that people never accept lessons from experience.
Tj Ford was called back to the bench by Sam Mitchell after playing only 5 minutes in the second quarter.
Although the entire coaching staff knows that this guy wants to make a name for himself in this series, everything that happened just now has proved that he can't benefit from Li Zhen's competition.
Even if everyone knows that if tj Ford and Bruce Lee are heads-up, they will all bet on tj.
However, this is not one-on-one.
The cunning little fox is too good at using rules and crowds.
Compared to the small tj Ford, he is more like a pervasive infiltrator.
When Sam Mitchell replaced Calderon, Isaiah Thomas also non-stop replaced Stephen Marbury and Crawford, the pair who once brought the Knicks to the endless purgatory combination after Bruce Brought , Actually gradually played a role in stabilizing the military.
Stephen Marbury greatly reduced the superstar-style forced shots.
Crawford also tried to restrain his shot when he felt bad.
These two points allow them to make rapid progress in efficiency.
They control the rhythm of the court. Although the offensive and defensive ends are obviously constrained by the Raptors, they do not allow the Raptors to seize the opportunity to defeat in one fell swoop. They just cut the meat with a blunt knife and delay the time for the team.
The first half of the game ended quickly.
46:49.
The Knicks playing away still lead by 3 points.
This ability to control the field made Kenny exclaim in the halftime: "I even think the Knicks are the third in the East."
Damon Stadmeier also changed his view at this time: "The Knicks have no chance to win. Now the Knicks are taking advantage of Bruce Lee's advantage over Tj Ford, as long as the Raptors reduce tj Ford and Bruce With Li Xiangfeng ’s chance, I think the Raptors still have a chance to win.

"Don't you say that Bruce Lee is not an opponent of TJ Ford?"
Kenny Smith asked the soul.
amount……
The long tone is like the engine sound of an old Ford car.
Fortunately, tnt cut into the advertisement in time, otherwise how embarrassing the little squirrel should be.
Tj Ford once again sent a request to Sam Cassell in the locker room. He hoped that he would have another chance to defeat Li Zhen directly: "I was just too nervous just now, you know. I take this game too seriously. "
"Oh, no."
Sam Mitchell refused his request, but said: "I will use Karon to deal with him next. And you will face Stephen Marbury's old guy, just like you last Friday As you did in New York, you can easily eat him. Why do you have to compete with Bruce Lee? We only need to ensure victory, this is enough. "
Mitchell finally changed his mind.
Tj Ford was a little sad, but he actually knew that this might be the best way to deal with it.
But it also means that he will lose his starting position.
This is far from what he expected before the playoffs.
Why did that guy suddenly become stronger?
He is obviously not so good in the videotape.
He is still thinking about this difficult problem.
However, his head coach has already gone over to discuss with Calderon how to deal with Li Zhen.
...
The second half started soon.
Calderon brought his toughness and collaboration ability in the Europa League to the NBA stadium. Although the defender of Li Zhen is still Anthony Parker, Calderon's timely package and collision made Li Zhen quickly passive.
Sam Mitchell didn't expect that Anthony Parker would actually be so co-produced with Calderon ... After a while, his assistant coach told him: Anthony Parker had been playing in Europe before.
It turns out so.
Watching the Knicks' offensive engine fall into the trap, unable to launch the rapid attack as before, Mitchell became more and more happy.
He looked at Isaiah Thomas next door with a provocative look.
Although Li Zhen is still able to start the attack firepower, it has a natural difference from the previous unrestricted fast running and bombardment, just like the video cassette is stuck.
This offense will not kill Toronto's life.
Because the Raptors' overall offensive is better than the Knicks.
Seeing that the difference is getting smaller and smaller, Damon Stoudemire also danced on the TV, he happily declared: This is my credit. Someone in Toronto must have heard my suggestion and told Sam Mitchell.
Unlike the excited little flying squirrel, Kenny Smith is a little depressed.
After all, Bruce is still a little weak in confrontation, and his ability to survive in the gap is far inferior to that of superstars. He needs a certain amount of time to consume the bag ... This is a big obstacle for running, until he Digested, the opponent's defense was organized.
"It seems that the Knicks are going to lose tonight."
Damonstad Meyer's tone was full of schadenfreude: "Look at Anne Hathaway on the sidelines, her hands are clenched, her expression is frustrated, and she is about to cry."
His words just fell.
Beep!
Bruce Lee requested a suspension.
...
