Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 615 Who Can Resist This? (Third Update!)
Although he is only 2.06 meters tall, his wingspan reaches 2.35 meters!
His height-wingspan difference reaches 29cm!
This number exceeds Davis, Leonard, and Durant, and is the largest among active players!
Even in terms of absolute wingspan, he is as long as the "long-armed monster" Gobert!
This is why Mutombo said that Biyombo is like him.
Not only because they are both from Congo, but Mutombo himself is a 2.33-meter-long armed monster.
The blocked ball was directly taken by Dinwiddie, who immediately turned around for a fast break.
He is tall, fast, and has a very fast fast-break speed.
By the time he attacked the frontcourt, only Galloway was able to keep up with him.
He made a flying layup, Galloway's first steal failed, and he successfully put the ball into the basket.
The fans in the audience cheered non-stop.
Although this goal only gave the Pelicans a 2-point lead, from Biyombo's block to Dinwiddie's fast break, the Pelicans' substitutes showed a completely different momentum from the end of the first quarter.
Thomas asked Morrow for the ball in the frontcourt again, JR Smith didn't let Galloway give it, and directly asked for the ball to play himself.
After a series of crossovers, he made an emergency stop and shot, and Gordon pounced on him to interfere.
"Clang!"
The basketball went wide of the rim.
Biyombo blocked Aldridge and stretched out his long arms to protect the rebound.
Being able to carry, block, and block shots, Biyombo really looks more and more like a shorter version of Whiteside.
Dinwiddie dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to organize. Gordon and Morrow's runs opened up the offensive space. He directly changed direction and broke through Galloway, rushing to the basket and causing the latter to foul.
He plays like a point guard, but has the height of a small forward, and can break through. This kind of play is really lethal in one-on-one situations.
Walking to the free-throw line, he steadily made both free throws, and the Pelicans regained a 4-point lead.
Being able to pass and break through, Dinwiddie is really different after being enlightened by Nash.
Biyombo defended Stoudemire's strong attack under the basket again.
In the frontcourt, Dinwiddie called Biyombo out for a pick-and-roll, broke through and attracted Aldridge's double-team, jumped up and passed the ball to Biyombo.
Biyombo had an open basket in front of him, and he jumped up to dunk.
Aldridge turned around to defend, and his dunk was directly interfered with, and the ball went out of bounds.
There was a commotion in the audience.
This finishing ability is too anxious.
But this is also expected. If Biyombo was really that good, the Hornets would not have given him up for a second-round pick.
Smith's emergency stop jump shot finally broke the Knicks' scoring drought.
Turning around, Dinwiddie continued to call Biyombo for a pick-and-roll, but this time he feinted to the east and attacked the west, passing the ball to Morrow on the outside, who made a three-pointer.
During this substitute period, Dinwiddie streamlined the team quite smoothly.
By the time both sides' main players were successively substituted, the Pelicans had regained an 8-point lead with 43 to 35.
Dinwiddie and Biyombo received high-fives from their teammates after coming off the court.
The two had a great impact on the team, one on offense and one on defense.
Anthony scored a layup after breaking through Ariza as soon as he came on the court.
Little Melon continues to show his sweetness, which also explains why the Knicks can rank third in the East this season.
But turning around, Tang Tian contained the defense, and Davis received Jokic's pass and scored under the basket to return the color.
The Pelicans are currently ranked second in the West.
After halftime, the Pelicans solidified their advantage and led the Knicks 61-51 to end the first half.
Tang Tian had 15 points in the half, Davis had 9 points, and Jokic showed his all-around talent, contributing 6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and his performance was also quite outstanding.
In the second half, Woodson adjusted his tactical strategy and frantically attacked the Pelicans' basket.
Jokic committed continuous fouls, and was forced to leave the court with his fourth personal foul with more than 5 minutes left in this quarter.
His defense is still a very obvious drag on him.
Jokic came off the court, and Biyombo was substituted.
Howard continued to ask for a strong attack under the basket, but his first shot was slapped away by Biyombo's long arm.
When a rough guy meets a wingspan monster, the most likely result is that it will be difficult to finish.
The sideline ball was served, and Howard tried to force his way in again, but he still couldn't get in.
Biyombo is almost 5 centimeters shorter than Howard, but his weight is only 5 kilograms less than Howard, and he is not at a disadvantage in terms of confrontation.
Plus that long arm, it really makes Howard particularly uncomfortable.
His shot was almost blocked by Biyombo again, and he directly got a bridge shot.
Looking at his defense without looking at his offense, he is definitely a first-class player in the league.
There was constant cheering from the audience.
Looking at Biyombo and then at Dinwiddie, the Pelicans really made a profit with this deal at the past trade deadline.
Without an advantage in the paint, the Knicks can only rely more on Anthony.
Fortunately, Anthony was in a hot state tonight. He scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Knicks to keep the score close.
At the end of the third quarter, the two sides tied at 76 to 83, and the 7-point difference was still worth fighting for.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jokic was substituted early.
He played less time in the third quarter, so it is considered a normal operation to bring him on at this time, play for a few minutes and then substitute him.
But the person who was substituted with him was Tang Tian!
This operation surprised Woodson on the opposite side, and he didn't know what Williams was selling in his gourd.
But in fact, Williams' idea is as simple as it can be.
Jokic doesn't know when he will commit another foul, so instead of being cautious, it's better to let Tang Tian try to kill the Knicks in one wave.
Anyway, judging from the first half, the chemistry between Tang Tian and Jokic is good and fast.
After Anthony finished the third quarter, Howard also consumed a lot of energy with Biyombo for nearly a quarter and couldn't substitute him.
Woodson can only use a substitute lineup to deal with Williams' strange trick.
When the Knicks came up, Galloway held the ball and broke through to the basket.
This is knowing that Jokic has 4 fouls and continues to try to draw a foul.
However, Galloway is just a rookie, and he is still lacking in experience. After Jokic dodged, he didn't control his center of gravity and directly threw a bridge shot.
Jokic protected the defensive rebound.
Tang Tian had already rushed out of the three-point line in one stride.
He is very clear about Jokic's ability to pass long from the backcourt.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Tian passed the midfield, Jokic's long pass came flying like a guided missile.
He got the ball, accelerated to get rid of Smith, strode to the frontcourt, jumped one step inside the free throw line, and scored with a one-handed arm-swinging dunk.
The point difference on the field was widened to 9 points!
Woodson turned his head to look at Anthony and Howard, gritted his teeth and turned his head back.
Why did he suddenly feel that Jokic's early exit in the third quarter was actually a good thing for the Pelicans?
The Knicks' two cores can't play in this period, the Knicks really have to carry it on their heads.
