Chapter 147: Milicic

After a short break, the second quarter also started.

In the second quarter of the game, the two sides replaced the rotation lineup.

For the Knicks, Lian Dao didn't leave the game, and all the main players were still behind by 6 points in the first quarter. If they were all replaced by the rotation lineup, it is estimated that the Knicks would be directly dismissed in the second quarter.

And, with the trade of Al Harrington to the Jazz, the strength of the Knicks' bench has dropped another notch.

Lamar Odom delegated to the sixth man, so that the strength of the Lakers' rotation lineup can be compared with the starter of the big team.

D'Antoni originally disagreed with Lian Dao's continuous play in the second quarter. He knew that Lian Dao's physical fitness had not really improved yet, but under Lian Dao's repeated requests, D'Antoni had to agree, mainly, watching Among the players on the bench, except for Lian Dao, no one can withstand the impact of the Lakers in the second quarter.

Seeing Lian Dao taking off his coat and getting ready to play, Kobe also got ready to play.

But at this time he was stopped by the Zen master.

He shook his head at Kobe, who hesitated and sat on the bench.

Kobe knew what Zen master meant, and a reasonable rotation is the key to ensuring the team wins.

Since Gasol came to the Lakers, since they won the championship last season, Kobe's stubbornness has actually decreased a lot, and the overall strength of the Lakers has improved, and he is no longer crazy about singles.

The Zen Master shook his head because he wanted Kobe to believe in his teammates.

The Lakers' rotation is:

Jordan Farmar, Shannon Brown, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum.

Lamar Odom is more than 2 meters tall, can control the ball, can score inside and outside, can play 5 positions on the field, so he was called a "left-handed magician" when he first entered the NBA, but he is playing There is no strong desire to attack.

Therefore, because of his character, Odom can become an excellent second-in-chief, but he cannot become the leader of the team, but his ability is beyond doubt.

He also married Kohler Kardashian, the third sister of the NBA's best defensive family this year.

It is not difficult to see from Lamar Odom's dark circles that his married life is still quite good.

Luke Walton played the team's starter in the first half of last season, but Ariza's performance in the second half of last season was even better, which made Ariza a solid starter.

The Knicks' rotation is:

Tony Douglas, Larry Hughes, Lian Dao, Danilo Gallinari, Darko Milicic.

D'Antoni arranged for Tony Douglas to play, and Tony Douglas will become the Knicks' next trading chip, so now it is also possible to let Tony Douglas perform as much as possible.

Darko Milicic was also recently activated by D'Antoni. Darko's physical fitness can be said to be top-notch in the league, but he missed the best growth period of a rookie. The Jazz scout Dar Xin once said , if he had the No. 1 pick in his hand, he would choose Milicic over LeBron James without hesitation.

Of course, no one knows how true or false this statement is.

However, it can be seen from the outside world's evaluation of him that Darko Milicic's talent is indeed extraordinary.

It's just that Larry Brown doesn't like to use rookies. After spending three depressed seasons in the Detroit Pistons, he was given the title of second place in the parallel import list by the outside world.

Dakomilicic is very suitable for fast breaks. His body, physique and strength are at the center level. The most important thing is that he has the speed and flexibility of a power forward.

It can be said that Milicic is the best pie-eating boy.

Knicks possession.

Lian Dao dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, his eyes constantly observing the running positions of his teammates.

Suddenly, Lian Dao combined the ball outside the three-point line, raised his hand, and made a three-point shot.

Luke Wharton hurried forward to interfere with Lian Dao's shot, but after jumping up, he realized that Lian Dao was not shooting, but passing the ball.

The basketball was accurately passed to the right side of the basket.

Milicic jumped up with both hands to catch Lian Dao's pass in the air, and then dunked the ball directly across Bynum and into the basket.

After landing, Milicic waved his hand excitedly and almost hit Bynum on the head with an elbow.

Fortunately, Bynum dodged in time, and Bynum couldn't restrain his anger at this moment, so he was about to push and push.

Milicic immediately put on a boxing pose. Milicic stared at Bynum with fierce eyes. As long as Bynum dared to use him, he would definitely punch Bynum's dog's head.

You must know that Milicic, who grew up in the flames of war, is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Bynum looked at Milicic's ferocious eyes, but he didn't dare to step forward for a while.

However, it is not easy to retreat, as if the fans mistakenly think that they are afraid of him.

At this time, the referee appeared in time and separated the two.

Bynum saw the referee coming, so he also retreated through the steps.

In the end, one foul per person.

D'Antoni also smiled bitterly at this time. Although Milicic is good at running and bombing, this guy is an emotional player, and his brain seems to be forever short of strings. Before that, he thought David Lee was too soft.

However, Lian Dao knew that this Serbian tall man only wanted to be recognized on the court. His taciturn character and the confidence destroyed by Larry Brown made him extremely sensitive in his heart.

"Daco, well done, that's how it came."

Back on defense, Lian Dao patted Milicic on the shoulder, showing affirmation and confidence in his eyes.

Lian Dao hopes to re-build confidence in this Serbian tall man with strength and talent.

Milicic looked at Lian Dao with both surprise and a little touch, because this was an affirmation he had never encountered in other teams, which made Milicic feel hot.

Although Milicic still nodded silently, it can be seen from his expression that Lian Dao's words still caused fluctuations in the big boy's heart.

For the Lakers, Kobe is not on the court. Basically, the ball will be in the hands of Lamar Odom. Odom is a versatile player. He also passed Danilo Gallinari at this time. Layup.

But Milicic, who was being defended, was slapped out. Yes, this is Milicic. Milicic is becoming more and more serious on the defensive end. This big boy is definitely capable.

Lian Dao picked up Milicic's block and then made a fast break at full speed.

After the fast break came to the basket, he slammed on the brakes and added a layup fake, and Shannon Brown, the jumping man, took off and dunked.

33:35.

Returning to the defense, Zhongliandao pointed at Milicic, which represented the beauty of the ball cover.

The camera lens on the field scanned Milicic, and Milicic actually leaked an embarrassed smile at this time, maybe he didn't even realize that he was smiling.

The Knicks approached the score to 2 points, but it seemed that the Zen master was in a state of concentration, as if he didn't care at all.

But then, Tony Douglas steals Jordan Farmar's dribble.

Then he quickly threw the ball to Lian Dao. After receiving the pass, Lian Dao quickly launched a fast break and hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

36:35.

The Knicks finally completed the lead.

At this time, Kobe also looked at the Zen master, but the Zen master was still unmoved.

On the Lakers side, Lamar Odom missed a mid-range shot.

After Milicic elbowed Bynum away, he grabbed the rebound strongly and then quickly passed it to Lian Dao. Bynum also grinned secretly when he was pushed by the elbow. He wanted to go forward to argue, but saw Milicic The fierce face actually endured it for a while.

Lian Dao made a four-point pass and handed the ball to Tony Douglas who was going down quickly. Tony Douglas made an open layup and scored easily.

38:35.

At this time, Zen Master no longer hesitated, and put Kobe on the field, and Luke Wharton was replaced.

At the commentary booth, Director Zhang saw Kobe replaced again, and this time he was directly facing Lian Dao.

This made him a little excited.

Lian Dao and Kobe who came on looked at each other.

Both saw the desire to win in the other's eyes.

Kobe started playing in the low post, with his back against Lian Dao, shaking his shoulders, turning around, and shooting.

When Kobe made a shot, Lian Dao also quickly jumped up to block the shot, but Kobe's receding angle was too large. Although Lian Dao tried his best to block the shot, he was still a little short.

Just a little short, the ball flew over his fingertips, and Lian Dao could feel the airflow change when the basketball flew by.
