Chapter 237 It's really tricky

Almost being intercepted by his opponent, Lao Hu realized that he was worrying too much, and it was important to focus on the game.

Since it's at this point, the strength is not as good as others, and the referee doesn't help, and it's still an away game, then just use it as a tactical exercise!

Thus, the dejected old Hu started the team's coordination again.But no matter how you say it, you have to fight hard. Don't forget, Lao Hu is very eager to win now.

Pass the ball, or look for Curry!

Lao Hu still implements the previous idea, but now he needs to consider some alternatives, that is, if Curry does not achieve the desired effect...

Beep!Just as Lao Hu was about to prepare the second plan, the referee Donaghy blew his whistle.

Foul by Eric Dampier of Mavericks!
"Oh..." Although the fans booed, the boos caused by this penalty were obviously not high enough.In other words, the fans simply think that this foul is not a good thing, but the foul itself is not in dispute.

Of course, this is based on the analysis of Lao Hu's own experience. Whether it is specific or not, you have to ask the fans.However, at least from this foul, Lao Hu saw some tricks.

This foul can be blown or not!
That's right, it's the frequent words used by football commentators on TV, which can just be used to describe Dampier's foul.

From the perspective of Lao Hu himself as a bystander, in the foul just now, the two sides had physical contact, but one attack and one receive.Don't think too much, that is, Curry is using his body to sit inside, and Dampier is just using his body to lean forward.Of course, this is a violation of the opponent's space in defense, but under normal circumstances, especially in a league with extremely high physical confrontation like the NBA, such fouls are rarely called.

It's just that, in this way, Lao Hu is a little confused.

What the hell is Donaghy doing?

Forget it, no matter how much.

Swish!Curry's free throws are a bit cheating. Although he is much more accurate than Shark's free throws, this time he only made one of two free throws.

3 to 4, now it's only the opening minute.

The game continued, and the offense and defense of both sides were normal, almost the same as their first matchup.The game is very smooth, fast, and the time is slowly passing.

However, during this period of fierce competition, Lao Hu gradually understood Donaghy's thoughts.

Just like just now, in a normal cooperation of the Mavericks, Lao Hu was called for a foul.The reason for Lao Hu's own analysis is that his legs blocked the opponent's movement. Of course, Lao Hu himself didn't think it was as serious as a foul, but if someone brags, then listen.

But soon, when it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Donaghy called another Nowitzki foul.This is an 'off the ball foul', that is, when the German chariot and Lao Li were fighting for positions, their arms were entangled.In other words, this kind of situation is common in the NBA, and it is generally not much boasted.

"Could it be that Donaghy really made a bet, but he's been looking for a balance between the two sides?" Lao Hu couldn't help speculating, but he couldn't be completely sure now, because this situation didn't happen. a lot of.

However, with such an idea, then take the initiative to try it.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack again, Hu and Li played a pick-and-roll.This time, it is the kind of cooperation that allows Lao Li to easily face Nowitzki. Lao Hu's pass is still just right, and Lao Li will have a certain initiative advantage when attacking with the ball!

coming!

The dribble breakthrough after a simple shake, although Lao Li's dribbling level is very average, but the protection when dribbling is still in place.Moreover, because of Nowitzki's unstable center of gravity, it was difficult for him to keep up with David Lee!
boom!Swish!Beep!
These three sounds were made almost at the same time. Lao Li hit the basket and made a hook, not to mention hitting the board and entering the frame. Nowitzki also paid for the foul.

This is a real foul, but you have to consider that this is the second foul of the German chariot in the first quarter. This is the home of the Mavericks. The person who fouled is the most popular regular season MVP candidate in the league.

Therefore, if it is another referee, it is very likely that they will choose to ignore the foul.

After watching the ball, Lao Hu already had a decision in his heart.

"This Donaghy is definitely helping the Knicks, he must have made a bet!" After making this decision, Lao Hu strengthened his previous thinking.

Hit inside!

As the saying goes, God's help is not as good as others' help, and others' help is not as good as one's own help.Since other referees are going to help, we Knicks have to work hard too!

So, in the next game, Hu Lin and Donaghy started their wonderful performances.

Donaghy is very smart. He is definitely a top expert in refereeing circles. He is absolutely confident in his professionalism.Moreover, he doesn't always blow the Knicks, and then immediately blows the Mavericks. He often has his own rhythm changes, just like an antelope hanging horns, no trace can be found!

Let's put it this way, no matter who comes, they can't find out what's wrong with this game!Every penalty is very well-founded, and Donaghy's penalty scale is still consistent, even the fans, players and coaches present can't say anything.

"Look at this ball! Oh, Diop of the Mavericks fouled, he should be... oh, I saw it, he pressed on Curry's shoulder. The referee on duty is really discerning, and he saw such subtle movements..." Liu Xingyu in the broadcast room is still spreading the clouds and rain. In fact, in terms of his style, he is still working hard, trying hard not to let the game go cold.

It's just that Teacher Zhang still couldn't get in.

That's right, halfway through the first quarter, the Mavericks will send Diop, because Dampier has already committed two fouls, and Nowitzki has also committed two fouls.

This is only the first quarter, and it is far from over.

Entering the second quarter, according to Lao Hu's own feeling, that guy Donaghy has not changed at all, he is still the same.That's right, it's still the kind of consistent law enforcement standards, and it's still the kind of punishment that makes people unable to find any faults.

However, his penalty is still the same as before, choose the player!

Pick a player?How to choose?
For example, on the Knicks side, Donaghy always gives fouls to outside players, or some less important marginal players.Hu got one foul in the second quarter, Nate got two, Crawford got two, and Ferguson only got one because of less playing time.

As for the Mavericks, most of them are for inside players and important players.Nowitzki played 5 minutes in the second quarter, and then went off again, because he had already committed three fouls, and he played a total of about 10 points in the first half.Dampier came up to defend for two rounds and then went back to sit. His time was less than seven or eight minutes in the first half plus one piece.Most of the others were the same, and Diop was also blown, although he can still stay on the court.

Of course, this is inseparable from Lao Hu's efforts. This guy desperately passed the ball to the inside throughout the first half. Therefore, the Mavericks fouled a lot inside, which is definitely justified.

Again, no one can find fault with it.Let's put it this way, the number of double-serve fouls is basically the same, and the Knicks seem to have committed two more fouls.Even if someone said, why are most of the Mavericks' fouls on the inside, but people who watched the game would never ask that question, because the Knicks played inside.

The two guys Hu Lin and Donaghy sometimes make eye contact when they are on the court.It seems that the other party is very pleasing to the eye, and the cooperation is just right and seamless. This is really, it is so late to meet!

Of course, if someone said something about Hu Lin, then Hu Lin would definitely swear loudly, "I am absolutely innocent, I have never touched this Donaji!" '

The game between the two sides was still fast-paced, so the time passed quickly, and the second quarter ended soon.

"Oh ho ho ho..."

"We are invincible!"

"Maverick! Get rid of the New Yorker!"

The Mavericks fans in the American Airlines Center are very excited. Although their team has a lot of inside fouls, the Mavericks' field situation is still very good.

After the game, the score of the two sides was 52 to 67, and the Mavericks at home led the Knicks by 15 points.

This is normal, because of Hu Lin's policy of playing hard inside, the Knicks' offense is basically concentrated at the basket.The Mavericks have a lot of fouls, but the free throw percentage of the inside players in the NBA is really bad. Except for Lao Li and Frye who are still very accurate, others like Eddie Curry, Randolph Morris, and even Barr Keman, this is a guy who is throwing around with his eyes.

But the Mavericks didn't have much playing time because the insiders could attack, so the ball was naturally concentrated in the hands of outside players.They are also unambiguous, Jason Terry, Jose Barea, and even Devin Harris are all capable of three-pointers.

Therefore, with one minus and one plus, the Knicks will naturally fall behind a lot.

Seeing this situation, it was actually the Knicks' coach Tony who was making trouble.

How to play the next game is a big problem.Not to mention anything else, now that the score is behind, it is natural to chase hard.The general method of chasing points is to speed up the offensive rhythm, or rely on the outside three-point shooting, which are common methods.

But Lao Tuo has also noticed the opponent's situation now, that is, the opponent has a lot of inside fouls, which is very good.Of course, it was also because of this that Lao Tuo did not prevent Hu Lin from arranging the attack, otherwise, he had the right to stop Hu Lin.But he didn't do this, because he also saw that the Knicks did a good job of killing opponents today.

However, attacking from the outside or speeding up the offensive rhythm means playing less inside.

So, how should the Knicks choose now?
