NBA: No. 1 Forward

J.J. Hixon sat on the floor, struggled to get up, and looked at Lian Dao with embarrassment.

This guy definitely did it on purpose, he definitely did it on purpose.

He just wanted to make a fool of me, otherwise why would he stop to look at me.

There are only 12 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Cavaliers missed a strong shot.

The Knicks ended the first quarter with an eight-point lead at 22:30.

Miami.

Wade was watching the live broadcast of the Knicks and Cavaliers on TV.

At this time, the first quarter ended, and the highlights of Lian Dao\'s first quarter appeared on TV.

Steal James in the opening game, and then complete the dunk against the sky.

The volleyball hat slapped James to shoot.

Hat-grabbing j.j. Hickson.

Take off from the free throw line and complete the show-level dunk.

Shake down j.j. Hickson, and after a pause, he shoots a three-pointer from the outside.

…

"Where did this guy come from? How could he be so strong?" Wade muttered to himself.

"Hey, I already told LeBron to be careful with this guy. Unexpectedly, LeBron is still careless. If LeBron rolls over again..."

Thinking of this, Wade also fought a cold war.

If LeBron rolls over again, they will have only one boss left: Carmelo Anthony.

What if Carmelo Anthony crashes too?

Immediately Wade shook his head quickly, impossible, he knew Carmelo Anthony\'s powerful offensive ability.

It can be said to be a real offensive kaleidoscope.

Moreover, the lineup of the Nuggets this year is really good, and they absolutely cannot lose against the Knicks.

Immediately, Wade realized, when did he want others to avenge himself?

Or did he say that he was really intimidated by this rookie.

Wade was also in deep contemplation at this time.

Immediately, he also laughed at himself. No matter how good he is, he is still a rookie and needs time to practice. The Knicks\' No. 1 is unlikely to be the biggest obstacle on his way to winning the championship in a short period of time.

Look back to Madison Square Garden.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides replaced the rotation lineup.

Lian Dao also stayed on the bench to rest.

James also didn\'t play.

Although James is known as a physical monster, the first quarter is also a huge consumption.

In the first quarter, not only did Lian Dao exhaust a lot of energy, but James also exhausted a lot of energy.

Whether it is on the defensive end or on the offensive end, he needs to consume a lot of physical strength, especially James is the only one who can organize the offense on the Cavaliers.

He consumes even more physical energy, coupled with the hand-to-hand combat where you come and go on the defensive end, even James, a physical monster, is sitting on the bench at this time.

Moreover, compared to the first half, the second half is the real decisive moment!

The Knicks\' bench lineup, to be honest, the best defender here is the 31-year-old Larry Hughes, but it is also at the end of his career, and his speed and footsteps have also become a bit slow.

Defensive ability has also dropped a lot.

Nate Robinson, Larry Hughes, Danilo Gallinari, Al Harrington, Darko Milicic.

At this time, the Knicks\' substitute plastic surgery.

The Cavaliers also sent their bench lineup.

Daniel Gibson, Delon Tesi, Jamario Moon, J.J. Hickson, Big Z

The Cavaliers\' plastic surgery has a high level of defense and is very advantageous on the defensive end compared to the Knicks.

But the advantage of the Knicks here is offense. The only advantage of Al Harrington\'s transfer to the bench is that it provides fire support for the bench lineup.

In the second quarter, the substitutes of the two teams also played back and forth.

The Cavaliers did not close the score for a while.

The Cavaliers lineup usually only needs to maintain the lead played by the starting lineup, but this time the Cavaliers are behind, and the Cavaliers\' bench lineup has insufficient firepower.

Until, five minutes into the second quarter, Mike Brown replaced James again.

At this time, the Knicks also replaced Lian Dao.

Take Darko Milicic, move Al Harrington to the five and Danilo Gallinari to the four.

Lian Dao chose the pick-and-roll for the first ball on the court and broke through to the basket.

Lian Dao broke through to the basket, stopped suddenly, and made a shot.

Big Z jumped straight away, wanting to give Lian Dao a nice cap for his layup.

However, as soon as Big Z took off, he found that he had been tricked by Lian Dao.

Lian Dao didn\'t take off.

The layup just now was just a feint.

However, it doesn\'t matter, as Big Z\'s age increases, his jumping ability has also declined a lot. He didn\'t jump very high before, and he has already landed at this time.

Big Z didn\'t expect that one day, being older would be an advantage.

After the big Z landed, he jumped up again, and served a spicy Sichuan hot pot to Lian Dao, who was about to make another layup.

As a result, this time Lian Dao still made a fake move.

Shake the big z again.

But this time, the flying directly caused Big Z to lose his defensive position.

Lian Dao took off with both feet and dunked the basketball directly into the hoop.

"Oh, dreamy footsteps! This kid actually knows Olajuwon\'s dreamy footsteps. Although he is still a little unfamiliar, his fake moves are definitely the most similar to Olajuwon." Barkley saw Lian Dao\'s footsteps just now. action, said in surprise.

"He still has so many things that he hasn\'t brought out. To be honest, this kid really surprised me too much in this game."

As Olajuwon\'s teammate at the end of Barkley\'s career, he is very familiar with this footstep. At the same time, he also knows that this footstep is lethal and easy to use, but there are only a handful of people who really master the essence. You must know that in the league There are countless people who have learned from Olajuwon, but basically none of them can use Olajuwon to that level.

Even Yao Ming has not reached the level of Olajuwon.

Of course, Lian Dao has not achieved the same level as Olajuwon. It can only be said that he has just grasped a little bit of the essence.

When Lian Dao makes fantastic moves, it cannot be said that he is excellent inside offensively, but at least he already has inside offensive skills.

Although his inside offensive skills are not very skilled!

This is also the result of Lian Dao\'s hard work for several months this summer. To be honest, this is the first time he has used it in an NBA game. It seems that the effect is still very good. At least the big Z has been deceived.

At this time, Big Z looked at the rookie with his hips crossed. He really didn\'t expect that he would be shown by this rookie.

In his cognition, James is almost an all-around fighter, but he didn\'t expect to see a player who is more all-around than James.

For the Cavaliers, the cooperation between Big Z and James is smoother, mainly because every mid-range shot by Big Z can help James open up space.

Moreover, Big Z also tried to minimize possession of the ball at this time, which made the Cavaliers\' tactics extremely smooth at this time.

At the same time also completely released James\' offensive ability.

And during the time when Lian Dao and James were on the court at the same time, James kept closing the score.

The most important thing is that the Knicks\' inside line was also exploded by the big Z. Lian Dao didn\'t expect that the 34-year-old veteran was still so strong inside.

Moreover, the cooperation between James and Big Z is so perfect that there is no need for any hesitation, which is not seen in O\'Neal.

Until the end of the first half, the two sides did not open the score, and finally tied at 56:56, ending the first half of the game.

In the first half, Lian Dao took up the banner of defense and organization more.

In the first half of the game, Lian Dao only took 13 shots.

He made 9 of 13 shots and 3 of 4 three-pointers. Made 3 of 5 free throws.

In only half of the game, Lian Dao scored 21 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds.
