NBA: No. 1 Forward

However, Lian Dao\'s two disguised connections were intensive, and Anthony\'s center of gravity had already become unstable.

At this time, Lian Dao saw that the time was right, so he stopped suddenly, caught the dribble under his crotch, took a step back, returned to the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer quickly.

At this time, Anthony wanted to step forward to block the shot again, but found that he was out of position.

He could only stretch his arms as far as possible and pounce on him, trying to give Lian Dao some mental oppression.

It\'s a pity that this little interference is almost non-existent for Lian Dao.

"brush!"

Lian Dao made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line!

The moment Lian Dao scored, Mike Brin couldn\'t help but blurted out a word: "Silky!"

"Sickle\'s signature score is an emergency stop followed by a step-back three-pointer! All the smooth breakthroughs and disguises in the early stage are for the final step-back three-pointer. Almost everyone in the league is familiar with his signature move."

"But you clearly know Sickle\'s ultimate goal, but you still can\'t prevent him."

"The main reason is that all his fake moves can be instantly transformed into real breakthroughs when the opponent does not make any changes."

"Anthony\'s defense just now was not bad, but he still couldn\'t stop Sickle."

"I dare say Sickle will definitely score high in this game!"

Mike Breen is not a hot-headed nonsense. Looking at the Clippers\' list of perimeter players, there is no player who can limit Lian Dao.

Chris Paul is an excellent defender, but his height of 1.83 meters defends Lian Dao. Lian Dao doesn\'t need to break through, just shoot him directly, and he can shoot Paul.

Even in the Clippers\' historical lineup, Caron Butler at the third position is a defensive colander, not to mention that in exchange for Anthony, he has long been packaged with Mo Williams and a group of draft picks and sent to Denver.

Therefore, now the Clippers can only choose to believe in Anthony, who wants to beat Lian Dao.

However, according to the current situation, even Anthony, who is serious about defending, seems unable to stop Lian Dao.

Today\'s Staples Center will definitely become a battle between Lian Dao and Anthony!

Lian Dao returned the ball to Anthony beautifully, but Anthony was not discouraged.

Since he can\'t guard Lian Dao, Anthony must ensure that the Clippers\' offensive firepower is stronger than that of the Knicks. As long as this is done, defeating the Knicks will not be a problem.

…

Holiday is a little uncomfortable now. Some of Chris Paul\'s rhythmic disguises and fake moves make Holiday hard to guard against. Every time he plays against Paul, he feels that he has to pay more energy.

In fact, this is Paul after a major injury, and Paul\'s offensive ability at his peak is stronger than it is now.

In February 2010, Paul underwent surgery on his right knee. Due to a torn meniscus, the chief surgeon removed Paul\'s meniscus. His state is not as bad as Luo Yin\'s, and the legendary "bones to bones" did not appear on Paul.

But Paul also permanently lost the piece of cartilage in his right knee that separates the leg bones -- which changed Chris Paul\'s career in a big way.

In other words, Chris Paul, who competed with Kobe for the MVP in 2008, once gave the defending champion Spurs a huge advantage of 2-0 in the playoffs, and finally forced into the tiebreaker, will never come back after that.

Even though his performance in the Clippers is still impressive, if there is no injury, he may do better.

But even now, Holiday still finds it difficult to defend Paul many times, but Paul is not at his peak after all.

And Holiday has also improved faster than in history, although he has not yet reached the peak of history.

But Holiday, who is physically strong, puts no less pressure on Paul than Deron in defense.

Paul made two consecutive rhythmic breakthroughs in disguise, but Holiday followed him closely.

He also felt that the kid in front of him was more difficult to deal with than last season, so he called Griffin to cover him.

After getting rid of Holiday, Paul immediately accelerated his attack towards the basket.

The Knicks then shrunk the line of defense, and Lian Dao couldn\'t help double-teaming inward.

And that\'s exactly Paul\'s goal, throwing the ball out of the paint with a no-look pass.

Anthony received the ball openly, but he didn\'t make a shot immediately. He dribbled the ball to avoid Lian Dao\'s supplementary defense, and then made a mid-range shot.

"The cooperation of the three giants of the Clippers is very exciting. Paul\'s wonderful pass is combined with Anthony\'s excellent offense. Even Sickle just didn\'t react!"

"If they can maintain this state in this game, they might as well give the Knicks a disastrous defeat!"

Lian Dao curled his lips, he was indeed a little careless just now, and he did not expect that Anthony, who always likes to control the ball, would choose to play off the ball in order to beat him.

It seems that today, "Melon" is going to go all out.

Therefore, when Anthony chooses to integrate into the team\'s offense, he cannot be underestimated, especially because he has the league\'s top scoring ability.

In the game after the first quarter, Anthony\'s strong performance never stopped.

Although Lian Dao tried his best to defend, Anthony, who entered the state, showed the strength of the "offensive kaleidoscope" to the fullest.

In addition to Anthony, Chris Paul also played well, especially when he connected teams to attack, he could attack without the ball under the cover of his teammates.

In the end, Anthony scored 15 points in a single quarter. Today\'s Anthony can definitely be called a state explosion.

However, Lian Dao\'s performance was not bad, especially in the second half of the first quarter, Anthony\'s old problem of not liking defense was committed again.

The combination of Lian Dao\'s sudden shots directly caught the Clippers by surprise, scored 14 points in a single quarter, and also sent 4 assists.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks took a 2-point lead, but this lead is nothing to be proud of.

They are the defending champions, and the Clippers can still play such a situation with the Knicks when they suffer a defensive loss.

It can only prove that they are a little careless, and even say that their defense is slack!

36:34!

Lian Dao looked at the score on the big screen. Both teams scored very high. The defense of both sides today was almost useless.

Lian Dao couldn\'t prevent Anthony who was in the state, and the Clippers\' outside line also had nothing to do with Lian Dao.

To be honest, entering the second half of the schedule and establishing the top eight teams, seldom will they fight as fiercely as the Clippers today, especially in a severely shortened season, and the two teams are not in the same division. .

However, the Clippers heated up the game, and the Knicks, as the defending champion, had to take over.

Regardless of winning or losing this game, it is very beneficial to the Clippers.

Losing, they formed the lineup for the first year, and the lineup has not yet reached perfection. The media will not criticize it too much, after all, the opponent is the defending champion.

If they win, the reputation of the Clippers will increase a lot in an instant, especially the Clippers with the Big Three. This season itself has attracted a lot of attention. If the victory over the defending champion is added, the influence will expand again.

But for the Knicks, it\'s just the opposite. If they win, they deserve it. If they lose, the media will find fault with them.

D\'Antoni frowned and walked up to the players. The situation was so anxious, this was not the result D\'Antoni wanted to see.

Obviously, the Knicks\' offense was smooth in the first quarter, and the Clippers\' defense did not cause any difficulties for the Knicks.

Since there is no problem with offense, the problem is naturally with defense.

In particular, the Knicks allowed the Clippers to play too smoothly. They allowed the Clippers\' Big Three to play a coordination that is rare this season, which is unqualified for the Knicks with excellent defense.

D\'Antoni glanced at Lian Dao, and Lian Dao also took the initiative to stand up and say.

"I know The first quarter is my problem. I underestimated Cameron a little bit. I will increase confrontation and reduce Anthony\'s offensive efficiency in the future!"

D\'Antoni nodded when he heard Lian Dao\'s words.

Lian Dao is the star of the team. Although D\'Antoni knows that it is Lian Dao\'s problem, sometimes it is not easy to say it directly.

But Lian Dao is not a player who dare not admit mistakes.

If the opponent scores a high score, it means that he didn\'t do a good job defending in the first quarter, and there is nothing to quibble about.

Moreover, he didn\'t dare to admit anything, and he just had to actively remedy it afterwards.

It is not said that a player does not make mistakes for a season, it is impossible, even the **** of basketball could not do it back then.

But if you make a mistake and correct it in time, it is not too late to make up for it.
