He faced Iguodala and did not take advantage of anything in the regular season.
Therefore, Lian Dao has long been mentally prepared to be targeted by Iguodala in the playoffs.
However, when he approached Iguodala, Lian Dao still felt that he was thinking of the 76ers too simply.
Tougher collisions than the regular season, rough slots, tight presses and small movements from time to time... Lian Dao thought that Iguodala's defense should be clean, but he did not expect that he would also use some small moves, but such small movements did not harm the players.
Sure enough, no team in the playoffs, and no player would give up easily.
To be honest, as soon as they met, the roughness of the 76ers was somewhat beyond Lian Dao's imagination.
Iguodala doesn't mind using rough tactics to defend opponents on the outside, and he does everything but not hurt people maliciously.
In Iguodala's rough defense, Lian Dao did not run out of the open position.
In the end, as a last resort, Lian Dao had to let Cousins cover without the ball, briefly escaping Iguodala's dogskin plastered defense, and immediately received a pass from Holloday.
Directly outside the three-point line dry pull out hand.
At this time, Iguodala had already squeezed through Cousins' cover, and seeing that Iguodala's big hand was about to be sealed, Lian Dao struck first with a weak space.
Iguodala's fingers could feel the air flow movement brought by Lian Dao's basketball.
If before this, Lian Dao would never dare to make such a move, he would adjust his shooting posture.
But this time Lian Dao did not, the improvement of agility attributes also made his shooting speed increase somewhat, although not a lot, but like now, at key moments, he does not need to adjust his shooting posture.
Don't underestimate this slight improvement, it can not only help Lian Dao reduce the time to adjust the shot, likewise, it can also make Lian Dao do not need to adjust the shooting posture, and reduce the instability of the shot.
Sometimes you feel like a small improvement, but above the top, every improvement will be magnified infinitely.
"Brush! "
Lian Dao's classic opening three points were successful, which also directly contributed to the momentum of the team.
The fans at the scene also sent the warmest cheers.
Iguodala shook his hand a little annoyed, he somewhat regretted that he had just been 0.01 seconds slower, if he was faster, he might have touched Lian Dao's basketball.
But Iguodala would never have imagined that Lian Dao's shot just now was carefully calculated, and everything seemed to give the opponent an illusion: work harder, work harder, and be about to touch.
And when the opponent finds that no matter how hard they try, they can't touch it, all their hopes will instantly fall into the abyss, and everything will be lost!
"Come on, try a little harder and you're done! When he returned to defense, Lian Dao sprayed garbage talk at Iguodala.
In fact, in the confrontation, Lian Dao is also uncomfortable, Iguodala's defense really makes Lian Dao like he met James, especially the physical strength, really not inferior to James.
It seems that this guy was able to get FMVP by restricting James, really not blowing, there are indeed two brushes.
"Abominable! Iguodala also looked gloomy when he heard Lian Dao's trash talk, his shoulders are also very uncomfortable now, he has just been hit by Lian Dao's brute bull a few times, although he gritted his teeth to keep up with Lian Dao's footsteps, but the sadness in it is estimated to be known by himself.
However, although he did not prevent Lian Dao's projection just now, Iguodala was not discouraged, but only a little, which made Iguodala see hope, and he is now even more excited.
When Lian Dao saw Iguodala's excitement, he knew that he was deceived, and then he also leaked a smile, and then he also bullied him, and also defended Iguodala, and the two fought together again.
Since the opponents have come up with the highest defensive standards, Lian Dao is not polite, and almost at the moment Iguoda pulled over, Lian Dao was very tough and stepped forward.
Two big men stuck together, making small movements between each other, grabbing jerseys, and small dark elbows, which was actually very uncomfortable.
But Lian Dao enjoys it, defense, what is the defense without strength?
Although the 76ers have Louis Williams, a point guard, Williams' organizational passing is really a little unflattering, this guy is not so much organizing the pass, but he will only break through the point.
Many times the 76ers' organizational offensive was carried out by Iguodala.
In fact, it's not just Iguodala who is flawed, but the 76ers also have problems, they want to unleash Iguodala's offensive firepower, and they don't help Iguodala find a reliable point guard for the organization.
Oh, but so, Joe Holloday, except that their management is blind and traded to the Knicks again.
When it comes to this, Holloday is in the driver's hand, and he puts 200% of his energy into dealing with Louis Williams on the defensive end.
This is not to say that he blamed the 76ers management for trading him, but he did have some personal grudges with Louis Williams, and when Holladay first entered the league, rookies would be punished by old birds, and Holloday naturally could not escape.
And the most egregious of them is Louis Williams in the same position.
This guy asked Holloday to carry a backpack full of "super bullet small umbrellas", and required Holloday to be on call at that time, the key is that he also deliberately knocked over the "super bullet small umbrella" in front of the media, and the media thought that Holloday was a nightclub teddy.
At that time, because of that incident, his girlfriend Lauren, who had a good impression of him, almost did not break up with him because of this.
At the time, Holloday's relationship with Louis Williams on the team was very rigid, which is why when the Knicks proposed a trade to get Holloday, the 76ers agreed.
In fact, the Knicks were originally just a first-round pick for the 76ers, and the reason why they traded Holloday was because the Knicks No. 1 position happened to be short of manpower.
And when the playoffs meet, new hatred and old hatred add up, Holloday will definitely have to teach his ugly old bird a lesson.
Therefore, as soon as he came up, Holloday gave Louis Williams a strong sense of oppression with his strong body.
Louis Williams moved left and right, accelerating, but could not get rid of Holloday's defense.
Louis Williams also did not dare to force a shot, his height difference is much different from Holloday, if he dares to force a shot, Holloday who did not appear defensively out of position will definitely give him a shocking hat.
"Shett, how did this kid improve so much? As
a last resort, Louis Williams had to hand the ball to Iguodala to handle.
But this guy doesn't know if it's his brain twitching, or if he's too young to see Lian Dao's stealing ability.
Before Iguodala could completely get rid of Lian Dao, he passed the ball, which directly allowed Lian Dao to take the lead and shoot the ball out through his superior reach advantage.
Seeing that Lian Dao was about to immediately hold the ball and attack quickly, Iguodala immediately stepped forward and hugged Lian Dao, without giving Lian Dao any chance to play the ball and attack quickly.
"Beep! "
Helplessly, the Knicks re-serve.
"Louis Williams' passing point is not very good, but Sickle's arm reach talent is too strong, half a position behind can even preempt the pass out, followed by instant acceleration, if not for Andre timely foul, it is estimated that this ball is a wonderful defensive counterattack dunk!"
"That's right, but today neither side defended against each other, Sickle didn't have the slightest idea of preserving fitness on the defensive end, and the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides on the court was like telling everyone that this is the playoffs!" "
Every championship team in history is an offensive and defensive team, no team has won a championship based on offense alone, even the future Warriors, many people only see the Warriors' strong scoring efficiency, and excellent three-pointers, but never find the Warriors' unlimited defense, which makes all teams feel headaches.
Even Stephen Curry, although he is poor defensively, his defensive attitude and defensive spirit are absolutely top-notch, and it is the body that is a little worse, which shows the essence of his defensive colander.
The Knicks lost the opportunity to play defensive fast offensive counterattack, and now the 76ers have long established themselves, and the 76ers still put on a fierce defensive strategy.
But this time, Lian Dao did not choose to run, but directly sat inside the three-point line, pressed the opponent with his back, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.
