Milton saw Wang Yue heading straight for the basket, with no one in front of him to defend him. Worried that Wang Yue would dunk to boost his morale, he quickly chased after the basket.
What he didn't expect was that just as Wang Yue stepped towards the three-point line, he suddenly took a standard step back and quickly shot from outside the three-point line.
After Wang Yue shot the basketball, he didn't look at the basketball at all. Instead, he glanced at Yin Guo in the audience, and then quickly ran towards his half of the court.
"Brush~!"
Just when Wang Yue ran back, the basketball he threw hit the net.
The audience became excited when they saw that Wang Yue also used a step back to counterattack with a three-pointer and hit it.
They like to watch this kind of tit-for-tat offensive game, but don't like to watch head-to-head defense.
Knicks fans have always had a slogan, that is, the game can be lost, but the offense must be played well.
Therefore, Wang Yue's three-pointer immediately excited the home audience. Even Yin Guo and Meng Xiaodong, who were sitting on the sidelines, were infected by the atmosphere and shouted excitedly.
The camera was originally following Wang Yue, but when Wang Yue looked toward the auditorium, the camera's lens automatically focused on Yin Guo.
Yin Guo and Meng Xiaodong happened to cheer together, and the commentator quickly introduced the identities of Yin Guo and Meng Xiaodong.
Therefore, Buckley, the commentator of this game, keenly grasped a topic and took the opportunity to tease Wang Yue and said, "Wang's ball was James' counterattack, or was it a tribute to his girlfriend?"
Smith had no intention of saying that giving a ball to his girlfriend was a joke, but he had researched the information before the game and knew that Wang Yue was always telling the truth, so maybe this was another show of affection.
So, he smiled and said, "It must be his girlfriend, because this guy has no one else in his eyes!"
The audience couldn't help laughing after listening to this explanation. They found the word "tribute" very interesting.
After hearing what Smith said, Buckley also smiled and said, "If you want to know, you have to wait until the next ball and see if Wang is still looking at that girl?"
Smith rolled his eyes and immediately came up with an idea and said, "I bet you $100 that Wang will definitely look at that girl again."
When Buckley heard what Smith said, he became helpless and said, "It seems that although I know I will definitely lose, I can only have one choice."
The audience watching the game on TV couldn't help but look forward to Wang Yue's next attack after listening to their words.
While they were chatting here, James' second round of offense began again.
Wang Yue once again saw James' so-called little trick of borrowing a step. In short, the action was quite irregular. Even if the referee didn't blow the whistle, he could only watch helplessly as James threw the ball into the basket.
Wang Yue didn't care about this. After turning around to receive Dwayne's serve, he came to the midfield against the defense and simply shot a three-pointer.
After he finished shooting this time, he raised his three fingers towards Yin Guo, then ran back two steps, waiting to defend in the midfield.
Seeing this scene, Smith excitedly patted Buckley on the shoulder and shouted, "100 yuan, quick, 100 yuan!"
Buckley touched his suit pocket and actually took out 100 yuan and handed it to Smith. Then he continued, "Let's have another bet!"
When Smith heard that Buckley wanted to give him money, he happily said, "No problem, let's bet 100!"
Bakri took out another 100 yuan and said domineeringly, "No problem, I will definitely look at that Chinese girl this time!"
Smith never expected that Bakri would make this move. He quickly said, "Bakri, shouldn't you stick to your choice?"
Buckley looked at Smith's stunned expression and said matter-of-factly, "I was insisting on my choice, but you took it away last time."
When Smith heard what Bakri said, he said helplessly, "Bakri, have you also noticed that Wang is always clinging to his girlfriend?"
Bakri proudly showed the information in his hand, and then said with a smile, "I am a professional commentator. Of course I understand each player's personality and their technical characteristics."
The issue discussed by the two people makes people feel that this channel is not a sports channel, but a gossip channel, full of joyful atmosphere.
Wang Yue, who was gossiped about by the two, was defending James in the next round. When he saw James just passing the midfield, he lowered his center of gravity and prepared to start defending here.
He just felt that starting to defend from here, James would return to the court after taking a step back. If he didn't step back and relied on small movements to pass by, he would not be able to reach the layup.
When James saw this scene, he thought it was Wang Yue, a newbie, who wanted to have a bullfight with him, so he waved his hand to ask the person who wanted to pick and roll to get out of the way, then lowered his center of gravity and quickly clapped the basketball in his hand.
I have to say that James' dribbling movements are very smooth, and he completely integrates the man and the ball. It is not easy for ordinary people to steal.
But Wang Yue is not an ordinary person. When James wanted to deceive him about his focus, he deliberately pretended to be deceived. When James wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, he gently swatted the ball away from behind.
Then he went all the way and hit the 76ers halftime with a flying dunk, and the audience cheered today.
The two unreliable anchors, Bakri and Smith, were still bickering, so they didn't react at all. They quickly went to watch the video replay in embarrassment.
Even the technical staff kept the camera on the two of them. After emergency treatment, they slowed down the video of Wang Yue's interception just now.
Only then did the audience see Wang Yue stretch out three fingers as he passed by James, and peel the ball off James' hand as fast as lightning.
Bakri gestured with his fingers and said with some emotion, "My fingers were swollen when I played the ball like this last time. Wang, you worked hard for this game."
Smith was also shocked, but before he had time to say anything, because of their replay, the 76ers had already played a round. James used a pick-and-roll to pass Wang Yue, and then quickly reached the basket for a dunk.
Not to be outdone, Wang Yue immediately took advantage of Dwayne's long pass and rushed outside the three-point line to hit a big three-pointer.
The 76ers saw that Wang Yue's shooting percentage was too high when no one was guarding him, so they arranged for Milton to perform man-to-man defense.
It's a pity that after Milton defended for a few rounds, he found that he couldn't defend it alone. Even the 76ers' coach discovered this problem, so he arranged for someone to come over to help defend.
Wang Yue saw the two people in front of him who were ready to double-team him at any time, so he started passing the ball.
The players move according to the coach's tactics and can always find a suitable open position, and Wang Yue's elusive pass can always be passed to the empty-handed person.
The players recruited by the Knicks this time are all good at shooting, and their shooting percentages are very high when they are open.
It's just that because Wang Yue and his team have too many newcomers, they can always be fooled by the 76ers' skilled veteran players when they are on defense. Therefore, the 76ers' scoring rate is not low.
From the spectator's point of view, the two teams looked like two opposing teams that were not defending. The pace was fast and the score was already 38 to 42 in just one quarter of the game.
Such a pleasing game also greatly increased the ratings of this game. By the time there were five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the number of people watching this game had doubled.
The fans at the scene became excited, this was the game they wanted to watch, and they even cheered for every goal, regardless of whether it was the home team or the away team.
The scores on both sides continued to improve, taking the lead alternately. In the last five minutes, the score reached an astonishing 138 draws.
Of course, Wang Yue could not let the game be lost, so he took over the game at this time. As long as the players were not standing under the basket and could throw it in casually, he would not pass the ball.
However, the 76ers didn't react at the beginning. They must have wanted to cut off Wang Yue's passing route. Wang Yue was blinded by several consecutive shots, and the Knicks took the opportunity to take the lead.
After the Knicks overtook the lead, no matter how hard the 76ers tried, they could not come back, allowing the Knicks to win their first victory this season.
This game was also broadcast live in China. Wang Yue's accurate shooting, smooth passing, and elusive passing quickly gained many fans.
In the next few games, although the Knicks had Wang Yue's accurate shooting, because the players were not very experienced, they also allowed the opponent to score a lot of points. Therefore, they did not win every game, but they were always able to win.
Keep the score tight, even if you lose, it will be a thrilling loss.
This kind of high-tempo and fast offense still looks good on TV, and it also attracts more and more fans to watch Knicks games.
Two months later, the Knicks have a record of 18 wins and 10 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference. This record is actually not good, but for a pure rookie team, this record is already very good.
Knicks fans are very satisfied with this record because they can feel that after so many games, the team's rookie defense is getting better and better.
Time soon came to Christmas Day, and the live broadcast of the Christmas game included the Knicks and Bucks.
The Bucks are ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and look similar to the Knicks, who are fifth in the Eastern Conference. In addition, the Knicks' current offense is very good, so many people came to watch on Christmas Day.
In this game, Wang Yue scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 14 assists and 13 steals. He simply made the Bucks defender unable to dribble. He had to be covered every time and did not dare to face Wang Yue head-on.
