Chapter 237 The first round of the playoffs 2
Mo Williams was not good at defending, and his opponent TJ Ford was really beaten.
It's very interesting to say. On weekdays, Blake and Mo Williams play well.
But once you meet rookies from the same class, especially rookies with higher draft picks at the same position than them, the opponent will play very well.
It felt like chicken blood was injected.
Just now, TJ Ford beats Mo Williams, it’s all right.
Even if Haslem helps to check for gaps and fill in leaks, it is still difficult to prevent it, and this speed is too fast.
It is worthy of being the speed that Iverson sighs, which is really something that ordinary people can compare with.
Even if it is a double team, TJ Ford can use his excellent passing vision to pass the ball out.
You should know that TJ Ford can enter the lottery zone while facing a huge disadvantage in its body, relying on speed and sudden division.
It just so happened that Anfini Hardaway was in good shape today, and the combination of the two caught the Heat off guard.
Although Mo Williams and Caron Butler can also score, their firepower is obviously not enough.
TJ Ford's breakthrough layup, Anfini Hardaway's mid-range, constantly creating opportunities.
Even Lagabel was a little helpless when facing Hardaway.
This is the ability of Anfini Hardaway to play. As the NBA's former top star, he has this ability.
What is Anfini Hardaway at its peak?
Kobe and McGrady regard Anthony Hardaway as their idol, and O'Neal also went away from Los Angeles because of Hardaway, and the media compared Hardaway with Jordan.
It is said that Kobe once traveled thousands of miles to Orlando just to see Hardaway play with his own eyes and McGrady. The reason why he joined the Magic is also because of Hardaway.
There is also O'Neal. When he reached the finals during the Magic period, the better player for the media and fans was Hardaway.
Of course, from the perspective of hindsight, letting O'Neal go was definitely one of the Magic's most stupid decisions.
However, at that time, everyone was optimistic about Hardaway, whether it was the media, the team, or the fans.
If the Magic just thinks so, it can be said that the Magic team is stupid, but many people think so, there must be a reason.
But no one expected that without O'Neal, Hardaway could not stand alone, and playing with injuries would ruin his career.
No matter what, Hardaway has certainly had strength, otherwise the media would not compare with him and Jordan.
Unfortunately, Hardaway is no longer the penny he used to be.
Even so, the occasional flash can still make people vaguely see the penny that used to be.
For example today.
Facing Lagabel's entangled defense, Hardaway made a step forward, and such a scene can rarely be seen.
Haslem made up for defense in time, but Hardaway made a clever change of direction and flashed a gap and jumped into the jump shot.
"Swish!"
23:36
Stan Van Gundy immediately called a timeout and couldn't help but roar in his mouth as he looked at the player who was walking down the field.
"Defense, defense...how many times do I have to say? Defense!"
Tap the tactical board once and start to arrange tactics in one step. In the first game, at home, of course, you have to win beautifully.
"Chan and Brad come on the court, I need you to fight the offense and widen the gap as soon as possible.
And Chen, you need to move more on defense, don’t let Anfenni take action easily.”
...
The time-out time has come, and the Heat have come back on the court, and the lineup has changed a lot.
The point guard is Blake, and it was a disaster to let Mo Williams defend TJ Ford.
The shooting guard is Lagabe, and he is still against Anfini Hardaway. Although Stan Van Gundy scolded him for being miserably, he agrees with his defense.
The small forward is naturally Chen Mo, the power forward is still Haslem, and the center is Brad Miller. The two insides are off and defending, which can be considered as complementary to each other.
Blake's speed is not particularly fast, but his defense has improved a lot throughout the season of hard work in defense.
Facing TJ Ford, he increased his physical confrontation as much as possible and did not let his opponents play too comfortably.
After all, this is the playoffs, and the degree of physical confrontation is higher. Many fouls that will be blew in the regular season will not easily whistle.
Just like now, TJ Ford is obviously not particularly adapted to such physical confrontations, and it is not very comfortable to fight.
Even an inconspicuous mistake directly allowed Blake to complete the steal, and the Heat instantly launched a fast attack.
The dunk from Haslem's back row directly activated the Heat's horn for massacre.
As for Anfini Hardaway, he was still entangled by Lagabel. Although the penny showed his power, he actually felt uncomfortable.
Especially with TJ Ford's outage, now he can only rely on Hardaway to play singles, so Hardaway is naturally unstoppable.
Facing Lagabel, Hardaway still made a breakthrough. I have to say that his health is not good, and his talent is still there.
Even if it is a retrospective, this is Penny Hardaway.
However, this time it was not Haslem's assisted defense, but Chen Mo who moved faster.
It is obviously impossible to use agile change of direction to break through the past like before.
Chen Mo's feet were faster, and Lagabele's defense was very tough, and the two directly formed double-teams against Hardaway.
It’s not that Hardaway had thought of passing the ball, especially being double-teamed, which means that there will inevitably be someone to be vacant.
However, thinking about the ironclad sounds of his teammates just now, Hardaway decided to take the pressure, just like he did back then.
I saw Hardaway take a step back and gain a little space, and immediately choose to take action.
Lagabel dared not be careless and pounced on him immediately, and Chen Mo hurriedly blocked him.
But unexpectedly, this was a fake move.
Hardaway's hand that had already made a shooting move was closed, and he crawled between the two and jumped and made a layup easily.
As the basketball was about to enter the basket, suddenly, an arm suddenly stretched out from behind him and slapped the basketball mercilessly.
With a wonderful block, Chen Mo is naturally the one who takes action.
Hardaway shook his head helplessly, and it was a pity that he didn't score the ball, but more so he was helpless.
He looked at his legs. If it were a few years ago, before he was injured, in such a situation, he would dunk directly, how could there be so many things?
Of course, Chen Mo didn't know that Hardaway was actually in love with the scene, but he wouldn't have any expression if he knew it.
It’s not that he is unkind, but that this is basketball and competitive sports.
In a confrontation like the playoffs, TJ Ford's small body is becoming increasingly difficult to play.
There is also Anfini Hardaway, who also formed effective restrictions under the joint efforts of Lagabel and Chen Mo.
Although the Knicks play a lot of people, others are not the type that can play with the ball.
For a moment, the Knicks returned to the state of not being able to play. The more they could not play, the more chaotic the scene was.
Chapter completed!
