Chapter 614 What Is the Strongest Talent in Basketball? (Second Update!)

Tang Tian and Jokic went off to rest, and Aminu and Gordon came on.

The Knicks also had substitutions, with Langston Galloway, JR Smith and Stoudemire replacing Calderon, Anthony and Bargnani.

Gordon contributed a strike when he came on the field. Since entering February, his performance has struggled a bit.

Howard received a defensive rebound.

Galloway broke through the basket to attract a double-team and gave it to Howard.

Howard dribbled a bit, jumped up and dunked directly.

Davis turned around to block the shot, but the confrontation was not at the same level.

Howard knocked off Davis in the air and slammed the ball into the basket.

The Knicks' bench exploded.

Lance Thomas excitedly jumped to the sidelines and waved the towel vigorously.

This ball makes people see the appearance of a peak beast!

Gordon's shot still missed the basket, and Davis' tip-up also missed under Howard's interference.

JR Smith's singles Ariza's emergency stop jumper missed, and Howard pressed Davis' tip-up to cause the latter to foul.

This time he made both free throws.

He was eye-catching and helped the Knicks chase points consecutively.

After he was really happy playing, he finally recovered the feeling of his peak.

Williams frowned slightly on the sidelines.

Jokic failed to lose weight and gain muscle, and suffered a disadvantage against Howard, while Davis failed to gain weight and gain muscle, and suffered even more from the confrontation.

Whiteside couldn't play, and the defense inside became a big problem.

After the first quarter, the score was 33-31.

At the end of the quarter, the Knicks used their inside advantage to continue chasing points, and they have completely caught up with the points that were behind before.

Back in the second quarter, the two sides continued to rotate further.

Williams went to the end of the bench and called Biyombo up.

There are 12 active rosters for a game, 5 starters and 5 substitutes, and 2 places for flexible use.

Because Whiteside couldn't play today, Williams put both Evans and Biyombo on the list.

Davis played poorly at the fifth position, and he chose Biyombo between the two.

This is a relatively common choice.

Generally, players who have just been traded will get a higher rotation position.

This is also the opportunity that Tang Tian talked to Biyombo in the locker room before.

But if the player is a role player or even a bench player, then for them, this is likely to be the only few or one opportunity.

If they don't seize such an opportunity, they will probably be completely abandoned by the coach.

For role players who are no longer rookies, the NBA is so cruel.

Back in the second quarter, both sides were full bench lineups.

The Knicks have Galloway and JR Smith on the outside, Lance Thomas and Stoudemire on the striker, and Cole Aldridge at the center.

The Pelicans have Dinwiddie and Gordon on the outside, Morrow and Aminu on the front line, and center Biyombo.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Gordon broke through Smith to the basket and still missed a layup.

Aldridge receives a defensive rebound.

The Knicks hit the frontcourt, and Thomas leaned against Morrow for the ball.

Galloway put the ball in, Thomas hit Morrow with his back, turned around and made a quick stop jump shot.

The Knicks tied the score.

Thomas pumped his fist excitedly after scoring the goal.

He was waived by the Pelicans at the beginning of the season, and then signed by the Knicks and placed in the rotation.

Against his old team, the players are basically bloodthirsty, not to mention that Thomas played very well after arriving in the Knicks.

When Anthony was absent before, he basically started and scored 20+ points.

His height and weight are about the same as Anthony, and his offensive methods are also very rich. He is a weakened version of Anthony.

Dinwiddie took the ball to the frontcourt. Gordon asked for the ball again and he didn't give it. Instead, he signaled the team to play tactics.

Whiteside doesn't play, and most of the home fans' attention is on the center position. It depends on Jokic's performance and who will be on the bench.

But in fact, Dinwiddie was also affected by the previous deal. He went directly from the third point guard to the backup point guard.

Dinwiddie made a tactical gesture, and Morrow and Gordon each ran around the pick-and-roll to the three-point line outside the 45-degree angle.

Dinwiddie is much taller than Galloway on the opposite side. He has a good pass vision and good awareness. He gave the ball to Gordon in time.

Gordon made a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

He finally scored his first goal of the game.

This is actually similar to Tang Tian's situation before. Gordon is the sixth man on the bench, so he must receive a lot of defensive attention.

He is easy to be targeted with the ball, but it is much better to run and shoot the phone.

The Knicks' offense, Thomas continued to rely on Morrow for the ball.

Galloway also really gave in.

This seems to be one of Woodson's offensive priorities. In the beginning Howard played Jokic, and now Thomas plays Morrow in an advantageous matchup.

After giving the ball, Galloway signaled his teammates to open up the space and prevent other Pelicans from helping to defend.

Morrow was working hard at the top at this time, and after being shot in the previous round, he obviously defended Thomas' shot.

However, Thomas' offensive skills are really comprehensive. After turning around, he went directly to the basket to kill.

His speed is not slow, and he gets to the basket and shoots quickly.

But at this moment, Biyombo forced Aldridge's position out of the way and tried to interfere with it.

After all, Thomas is not really Anthony. Biyombo's sudden appearance caught him by surprise. He had no time to adjust and just increased the height of his shot.

But he still didn't dodge Biyombo's long arm, the ball was hit and he blocked it directly.

There was cheers at the scene.

But the cheers didn't last long, because Aldridge quickly got the ball that was pointed out, and put the basket directly at close range.

Something unexpected happened. Biyombo, who had just blocked Thomas, turned around and returned to the basket, jumped up and directly blocked Aldridge's shot.

Aldridge is 2.11 meters tall, 5cm taller than Biyombo, and his hands are also very long, and the ball has a high release point.

"boom!"

But his shot was finally slapped back firmly by Biyombo!

The fans at the scene were stunned, the ball was able to be blocked, and it was a big hat from the front!

The Pelicans' bench was also boiling.

In the first quarter, the Pelicans were severely suppressed inside, and these two blocks were finally considered elated!

Tang Tian was not so surprised, this is what Biyombo does, and it is also what he can do well.

The NBA is a talent league, the so-called "NBA without talent spanking".

There are many kinds of talents. There are hard talents such as height, arm length and jumping, and soft talents such as touch and vision.

"What is the strongest talent" is often mentioned and discussed. Although there are many controversies, hard talent has always been higher than soft talent.

This is why the NBA draft prioritizes tall and long arms.

Among the hard talents, the most recognized talent is the wingspan.

If you want to play basketball well, you must have a little wingspan.

This is a wise saying, especially in the top league like the NBA.

Biyombo is a monster with wingspan, even the strongest in history.

Thanks to Xiepi, Xi_ren, and Xingfeng Xiaoye for their rewards.
