NBA: No. 1 Forward

Lian Dao won the player of the month in the first month, and the media also reported it extensively. You must know that this is the second rookie player other than Lad Bird who can win this honor in his rookie season since the NBA recorded it. .

Even Jordan and James in their rookie seasons did not receive this honor.

Lian Dao is also called by the media that his debut is the pinnacle and the most promising rookie player in the future.

The game starts in December. The first opponent of the Knicks in December is the Phoenix Suns. The strength of the Suns this season should not be underestimated. As D'Antoni's assistant coach, Alvin Gentry also followed D'Antoni's running Boom tactics.

If the 2009-2010 season can be called a three-point team, then the Suns are definitely one of them. Even the starting center Channing Frye can shoot from outside the three-point line.

Not to mention Stephen Nash, the brain of the Suns, and Grant Hill, whose shots are getting older and more demonic.

Except, of course, Stoudemire.

Stoudemire also has three-point ability, but the hit rate is really touching.

This time, D'Antoni is bound to win the game and end the Knicks' losing streak.

Running and bombing versus running and bombing, this game is also expected by many people.

Two teams like the Knicks and the Suns, one east and one west, seem to be shadows of each other, because many people can always find too many similarities in them.

D'Antoni still sent the original lineup in this game.

Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Lian Dao, Paul Millsap, David Lee.

The Suns' starting lineup is:

Steven Nash, Jason Richardson, Grant Hill, Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye.

As soon as the game opened, the Suns sent Amare Stoudemire out for a jumper.

The Knicks sent Lian Dao for a jump ball for the first time.

In fact, Stoudemire didn't have a good impression of Lian Dao, after all, the Suns proposed to exchange him for Lian Dao.

This made Stoudemire, who knew the news, very angry, and vowed that if he met Lian Dao in the game, he would blow up the rookie and let those idiot management know his strength.

But after Lian Dao entered the league, he sent two centers to the hospital successively, and continued to hit record-setting high-scoring games.

This made Stoudemire a little panicked. At this time, he also knew that this rookie was brutal. You must know that Bogut and O'Neal are still recovering from their injuries.

He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of these two. He didn't dare to say the trash talk that was planned to be prepared at the beginning of the season before the game.

There is no way, it's not worth it to play a ball and put your life in it!

It can be said that Lian Dao has now become the villain on the court in the NBA. At the very least, players who want to mess with him have to look at the two in the hospital.

The so-called tough guys among NBA players are mostly bullying and fearing the tough. The tough guy Artest of the Palace of Auburn Hills back then did not dare to punch Big Ben, but dared to punch the audience;

As long as you are more ruthless than them, they will not dare to extend the hand of malicious fouls to you, and then they will honestly compete with you on the court.

Therefore, the start of this game is also very friendly.

With his excellent bounce, Lian Dao overwhelmed Stoudemire and took the lead in helping the Knicks get the ball.

Lian Dao received the first ball from Wilson Chandler just three points away.

Two steps outside the three-point line, raise your hand, and shoot.

Grant Hill didn't even react. He didn't expect Lian Dao to dare to shoot a super long three-pointer at the beginning.

He could only watch Lian Dao make a move.

"brush!"

In fact, this is Lian Dao's classic opening ceremony, and it is Lian Dao's standard opening ceremony in the NCAA.

But after coming to the NBA, due to the poor jump ball, such opening shots rarely appear.

This time it was used to win the whole house... Uh, boos.

Well, this is Phoenix, and the Knicks are playing on the road.

But the state of the Suns in the opening game was not particularly good. Jason Richardson was passing the ball to Channing Frye, and was noticed by David Lee and completed the steal first.

David Lee made a long pass to Lian Dao who was on the fast break, and then Lian Dao slammed on the brakes outside the three-point line, raised his bow and shot an arrow, and shot a chasing three-pointer.

And hit.

Opening 6:0.

At this time, Stephen Nash was also staring at Lian Dao, and he now understands why the Suns traded Stoudemire for Lian Dao.

At that time, I was still a little unhappy, but now it seems that if Lian Dao came to the sun, it would definitely bring different changes to the sun.

D'Antoni is too familiar with the Suns lineup, especially Nash and Stoudemire.

So for these two players, D'Antoni also developed a special defense.

In the first quarter, Nash was taken care of by Chris Duhon with the instructions given by D'Antoni.

Jason Richardson was also guarded by Wilson Chandler.

Wilson Chandler's own defense is very good, with excellent arm length, arms open, and a very large defensive range.

In particular, Lian Dao often played 1V1 with Wilson Chandler, which made his defensive skills even better.

No, at 10 minutes and 38 seconds, he intercepted Nash's pass to Jason Richardson.

Then give it to Lian Dao.

After Lian Dao reached the basket, he gave the ball to Millsap who was rushing over, and Millsap scored a dunk.

At this time, the Knicks were already 10:2, leading the Suns by 8 points.

At the critical moment, Nash stood up through the pick-and-roll, made outside shots and three-pointers.

Nash gave Lian Dao the feeling that he was particularly like Curry of later generations. Although the three-point range and average three-point shots per game were not as good as Curry of later generations, his shooting percentage was quite terrifying.

Last season, Nash averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game, shooting 43.9% from the field. This season, he averaged 3.6 three-pointers per game, shooting 42.6% from the field.

This three-point shooting rate is actually quite terrifying.

10:5.

In the Knicks' round, Lian Dao was still the fastest first step to break through Grant Hill, using Grant Hill's skills to break through Grant Hill, which is called inheritance.

Draw double-team, pass to David Lee.

Catch, open, shoot, hit.

You can always trust David Lee with his mid-range shot because he's always been so consistent.

Seeing Lian Dao's breakthrough, Grant Hill always felt very familiar. That quick first step, turning around without slowing down reminded him, wasn't this himself back then?

Immediately, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly. When other players defended him back then, it was probably the feeling of him defending Lian Dao now.

After Grant Hill's serious injury, he was completely reduced to the floor, and he no longer had the fastest first step in the amazing league at that time.

Then he also developed a stable outside three-pointer.

But today, he was a bit restricted by Lian Dao, and Lian Dao interfered with his two consecutive outside three-pointers.

In the first quarter, it was completely reduced to the rhythm of the Knicks.

Today, David Lee also taught Stoudemire a lesson. Playing basketball is not just about having muscles, but also about brains.

With his flexible defense, David Lee even stole Stoudemire twice in the first quarter.

This also made Lian Dao look a little different.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks ended the first quarter 39-28, leading by 11 points.

In the second quarter, Lian Dao was also on the bench.

For the Suns, Nash is also sitting on the bench. Nash is a late bloomer. He is a guard who really made his mark in the league after the age of 26.

At that time, some people in the league looked at Nash, just like everyone looked at Curry now. No one thought that this thin point guard could adapt to the intense confrontation in the NBA.

But Nash told everyone in the league that some people's legends are not defined by physical talent with one pass, one breakthrough and one shot.

This year, Nash is 35 years old~www.mtl.com~He can still average 16.5 points per game, and, in this season in history, he led the Suns to the Western Conference Finals again.

If it is said that the league selects real fighters, then Stephen Nash is definitely one of them.

As the commentator of this game, Barkley originally supported his old club, the Suns. Barkley left his peak in Phoenix, and he also has a deeper affection for the Suns.

But I don't know if Fliggy's mouth really has a reverse buff. As the Suns with the best record in the Western Conference, they were defeated by the Knicks in the first quarter.

This made his old partner Kenny Smith constantly laugh at Barkley's bad mouth.

If Alvin Gentry knows that Barkley supports the Suns, the high and low will also give them money to let him choose to support the Knicks.

This guy's mouth is too poisonous, as poisonous as the mouth of Chicago Braised Eggs.

The Suns' bench lineup is:

Goran Dragic, Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley, Lou Amundsen, Channing Frye.
