The Godfather of Basketball

The Cavaliers' offense, Paul and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll were once again blocked.

After playing a few games, the Knicks seem to have slowly adapted to the Cavaliers' offensive style.

Yao Ming's high-level support.

At this time, Carter threw off Fields with a reverse run and went straight to the basket.

Yao Ming's touchdown pass.

Carter took the ball and went straight to the basket.

Stoudemire came to the defense.

Carter directly protected the ball, took three slow steps, and squeezed away Stoudemire, a low-handed high-throw hit the board.

Stoudemire's block didn't follow, and the ball bounced off the backboard and into the basket.

The Cavaliers' bench boiled for a while, and the goal was beautiful.

Tang Tian also nodded at this time.

Butler also had such a layup opportunity before, but he didn't make progress and almost got caught.

In terms of offensive ability alone, the old Carter is obviously much better than Butler.

In the Knicks' offense, Anthony's hands were hot, he didn't go to the low post, and directly attacked with the ball from outside the three-point line.

The rest of the team is wide open, only Chandler mentioned the three-point line to do the pick-and-roll.

Carter is very experienced with this ball, and he squeezed forward directly, leaving no room for Chandler to pick and roll.

Chandler failed several times, so Anthony reached out and asked Chandler to go back.

The two directly played one-on-one at the arc top three-point line.

Anthony took half a step forward with his right foot, posing in a standard "three-threat" posture, and then suddenly stepped up to break through from the right.

Carter's judgment was very accurate, and he retracted his center of gravity and followed up to the right.

Anthony rushed to the free throw line, received the ball and made an emergency stop.

Carter has rich experience, directly followed the brakes on the spot, and then raised his hands high.

This is equivalent to leaving an obstacle of more than two meters directly in front of Anthony.

Although not as young and capable as Butler, the old Carter's experience allowed him to play a successful defense.

Anthony's shooting angle and line of sight were greatly disturbed, and he just shot by feeling.

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard, but rebounded and went into the basket!

11 points in a row!

Anthony's hands seemed to be on fire.

The audience at the scene was completely excited, and many people stood up from their seats, waving their arms and swearing at the venue.

"Be patient, we are only 5 points behind." Tang Tian stretched out his hands to applaud the players on the sidelines.

The Cavaliers' defense is fine. To maintain this intensity, Anthony can't be so accurate all the time.

Paul's frontcourt pick-and-roll was blocked, he dribbled the ball directly to the outside, and then signaled Yao Ming to drop low.

The Knicks adapted to the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll, which was a direct switch.

Yao Ming's back hit in the low post, Anthony directly recovered the double-team.

Yao Ming reacted very quickly, and immediately gave the ball to Carter outside. Carter caught the ball and shot a three-pointer before Anthony returned to the defense.

"Shua!"

Carter also scored a three-pointer!

He has scored 5 points since he came up!

There was a commotion at the scene.

Anthony's strength on the offensive end, coupled with the restrictions on Paul and Yao Ming's scoring during this period, was originally a great opportunity for the Knicks to open up their scoring. No one thought that Carter would play the role of a surprise soldier at this time.

With this 3-pointer, the Cavaliers instantly chased the point difference to 2 points.

"Come on! New York!"

The fans at the scene felt the pressure and cheered loudly for the Knicks under the leadership of the DJ.

Anthony is still playing high singles.

Tang Tian waved his hand on the sidelines, and Green went directly to double-team, which meant that he didn't give any chance to attack with the ball from beyond the three-point line.

Anthony didn't pass the ball, he directly chose a dry three-pointer.

The consecutive hits made him confident in his touch.

Carter was also very smart at this time. He jumped directly from Anthony's side, did not violate the shooting cylinder, but successfully gave enough interference.

"boom!"

Anthony's pull-up three-pointer finally missed, and Yao Ming received a defensive rebound.

"Good job! Good job!"

At this time, Tang Tian was also using his methods to cheer for the players.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Yao Ming continued to play back in the low post.

Carter's continuous performance is equivalent to giving the Cavaliers another stable outside shooting point on the court. The Knicks did not dare to double-team, and the sense of space on the court came out immediately.

Yao Ming's back to the basket caused Chandler's thug foul and went to the free throw line.

After two free throws, the two teams tied at 11!

Anthony's fiery state only allowed the Knicks to maintain their lead for less than half a quarter!

Bibby showed his experienced side at this time, and went to the frontcourt to signal Anthony to play without the ball.

This is a veteran's active change, but it is critical.

Anthony feels hot tonight, and it is difficult to double-team the Cavaliers without the ball. He can always get some good shooting opportunities by using pick-and-rolls or running back.

The situation on the scene also froze.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 30 to 35, and the Cavaliers fell behind by 5 points.

Anthony made 8 of 15 shots in the first quarter and scored 23 points in a single quarter. Although there is still a distance from his record of 33 points in a single quarter, this is already his most explosive single quarter performance since he came to New York.

Madison Square Garden, the holy land of basketball, seems to have directly given him a blue buff in the most critical game.

In the second quarter, both sides replaced the substitutes one after another.

For the Cavaliers, Jeremy Lin Gakat is on the outside, Hilga Artest is on the front line, and Whiteside is the center.

For the Knicks, Woodson left Stoudemire on the court and replaced Davis, JR Smith, Shumpert and Novak.

Come up with the Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin and Artest's pick-and-roll, Jeremy Lin broke into the basket, Stoudemire has excellent mobility, did not give room for his hand, he circled around and came out again.

"Defend! Defend!"

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Knicks played a tough defense.

Hill's final mid-range shot also failed, and Stoudemire received a defensive rebound.

Davis dribbled to the frontcourt, and Stoudemire took the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post at this time.

After the ball went in, he glanced at Whiteside behind him, turned his back continuously and swayed Whiteside away before making shots.

"Shua!"

The ball hits the net hollow.

Stoudemire continued the excellent touch of the first two games.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Jeremy Lin missed a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, and Stoudemire received another defensive rebound.

At this time, Casey stood up and shouted at the Cavaliers. The team's defensive strength has increased a lot, and the Knicks failed to get a chance in several pick-and-rolls.

Davis glanced at Smith who asked for the ball, and finally gave the ball to Stoudemire inside.

Facing Whiteside, Stoudemire turned around and hit the board high.

It was almost a shot at the buzzer.

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard, bounced and fell into the net pocket.

Stoudemire scored 4 points in a row, and the Knicks' lead came to 9 points.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time.

10 points is a hurdle. After passing this line, the Cavaliers will be very passive on the court.

Even if the point difference is continuously widened, he can only be forced to change the main force in advance.

Jeremy Lin took the ball to the frontcourt.

At this moment, the old Carter directly reached out to him for the ball from beyond the three-point line.
