Chapter 384 Ugly game!

Chapter 384 Ugly game!

The exquisite goal made everyone admire, but the 76ers who returned to the home court are different. Under the coach of Collins, their defense has reached the extreme of their existing members.

The Knicks seemed to be feeling a bit sluggish tonight. Gatsby created a chance, but there was no way for the others to make a shot. At the end of the half, the Knicks trailed by 12 points, and Anthony and Stoudemire went off to rest. , replaced by Leonard and Scola.

Even Gatsby didn’t feel good tonight. He missed several shots. It may have something to do with the away game, or it may have something to do with the tough defense of the 76ers. This is unavoidable, and no one can always guarantee I can maintain a good touch, but I just caught up tonight.

But if the hand feels bad, there is a bad style of play. If there is a problem with the offense, then start from the defense, so the 76ers fans watched a defensive battle!

The Knicks' offense stagnated, and the 76ers couldn't score under the Knicks' defense. The Knicks relied on the defense to close the score point by point. At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks closed the point difference to 6 points, this is the confidence of the Knicks-if I can't score, you can't score either!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks' rotation lineup played, and the touch seemed to be contagious. The rotation lineup also failed to score, but the 76ers also failed to score. At the end of the first half, the score was 34:36. It was the Knicks' lowest halftime score this season.

Gatsby looked constipated when he was in the locker room. When did the Knicks, known for their offense, play so ugly, but Gatsby seems to have lost his skill set tonight. When his teammates couldn’t score, he took the initiative to go Offensively, he can't make a shot, and he can even throw a layup.

When D'Antoni returned to the locker room, he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled. He has been a coach for so many years and has seen all kinds of situations. Not to mention that the whole team has no touch, and even the whole team has been in a low state for a period of time. It may be due to tiredness, or it may be due to the away game. As long as you make good adjustments, you can always adjust.

It's only the first round of the game, and such problems can still be solved, especially when the 76ers are not a big threat. Although the Knicks don't feel good, they are surprisingly strong defensively!

Coach D'Antoni smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I am very satisfied with everyone's performance tonight. How to win is not to win. Let's defend first. The offensive touch will come eventually. It will only be late and not absent. I believe in you!"

Gatsby also figured it out, and said with a smile: "I seem to have been stolen by a thief today. I can't make any shots anyway, and even some balls feel crooked as soon as I release them. What a hell!"

Anthony was a little annoyed: "I don't know why, I've had a good rest these days, and my physical condition is also very good, but I just don't know why, I can't make any shots!"

Anthony did have reasons to be annoyed. Gatsby was rarely in a bad state, and he was always able to turn the tide. Finally, Gatsby felt bad. This time should be the time to stand up and solve the problem by himself, and he can also beat Gatsby. Ci compared it once but my own hand feeling is not good, I am really puzzled!

After winning a championship, Anthony has achieved the goal that he has always wanted to surpass James. Now his thoughts are different from before. Now he always wants to better than Gatsby. At the beginning, , he wanted to win the championship with the team, but now his thinking has changed.

The situation didn't get any better in the second half, but Anthony increased his offense. Gatsby had nothing to do with it. Anyway, everyone's hand feeling is not good. Letting Anthony play may break the deadlock, but Anthony seems a little impatient. The choice of shot It wasn't very good, so Gatsby changed his target and asked Stoudemire to play more. Stoudemire played inside the net, and the effect was not bad.

But Anthony looked a little unhappy, and his face was dark when he left the field. Gatsby could feel Anthony's emotions keenly, but he didn't speak. This is not an occasion to solve these problems, and Anthony's character is not easy to persuade. , can only be resolved after the game.

Gatsby feels that the team has become a little less stable. If they win the championship this season, next season will be the most difficult time for the Knicks. After they have no desire for the championship, many different ideas will jump out.

The second half really fell into a defensive battle. The Knicks couldn't attack well, so they gritted their teeth and fought a defensive battle with Philadelphia. The audience has become accustomed to the 76ers' defensive battle. Fans who know the ball know that this is Philadelphia's victory. Forced to fight a defensive battle, the advantage has actually come to Philadelphia. Everyone knows that it is impossible to beat the Knicks with offense. Being able to drag the Knicks into a defensive battle is actually their victory. !

If they lose the game in this way, they also admit that it is not easy to play their own characteristics. If they let the Knicks solve the game like cutting melons and vegetables, then they will be really disappointed.

But the result did not go as the Philadelphia fans expected. Even in a defensive battle, Philadelphia is not an opponent of the Knicks. Even if Gatsby's touch is not good, he can still create enough threats. Going down to the basket, attracting the help defense and then passing the ball, no matter how inaccurate other people are, they can still make a shot after all if there is an open space.

In the end, the two sides ended the game at 89:84, and the Knicks made another victory, but the game was really ugly!

Coach D'Antoni was very satisfied with the team's performance in an interview after the game: "Although we didn't feel good tonight, we played the team's style. When the offense was not good, we played the toughest defense. What we have always wanted, we not only have to attack, we also have the will to unite as one, the only one who can defeat us is ourselves!"

Coach Collins is very calm: "We played the game we wanted, but we still lost the game. Our strength is indeed not as good as the Knicks. I am already very satisfied with this performance. I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. , they have nothing to fault."

Iguodala looks a bit lost, he knows this is his last season in the 76ers, the 76ers have been hovering in the first round of the playoffs, presumably the team has had enough of this, the team rebuilding The time has come.

He said: "I'm sorry to lose the game. I really want to say that we have put in a lot of effort, but if we lose, we lose. This is my problem. My strength is not enough to support a team... …”

Everyone knows what Iguodala means, but no one says it. The NBA is so cruel, and everyone present has seen too much.
