J. R. Smith couldn''t resist link at all. It was Mike Woodson''s biggest headache today.


    There''s no way. Ronnie brewer and Cameron Anthony made two early fouls, leaving Mike Woodson with J.R. Smith as the only choice. On Novak? I''m afraid the effect is not much better than that of J.R.


    Since the start of the second quarter, J.R. has been bumped by link countless times. The same was true of this attack. Link didn''t even ask for pick and roll. After a few trial steps, he suddenly accelerated and took a half position ahead of J.R. Smith.


    J. R. Smith is a good offensive player, but defense is not mature.


    After link''s breakthrough, the iron headed Rashid Wallace moved to the basket again. If you think that "roaring God" has become gentle with age, that''s a big mistake. Wallace is still fierce this season. The NBA''s fastest record of being sent off for two technical fouls in 85 seconds came from Wallace this season.


    Seeing Wallace coming at him, link hit the ball and sent it to Zac Randolph.


    Randolph didn''t hit the middle and didn''t play back to back singles. This season''s lean guy took a big step forward after receiving the basketball, he wanted to attack the frame directly!


    "No, no, Wallace, no!" Seeing this, Mike Woodson muttered to himself off the court, but it didn''t work. The next second, Rashid Wallace brutally blocked Randolph. Then the referee whistled and the New York Knicks fouled again!


    "You call it a foul? God, let''s play WNBA The moment the referee whistled. Rashid Wallace was not calm, he immediately yelled at the referee, showing the true nature of "roaring God".


    But no matter how loud the emperor roared, he could not change the referee''s decision. Randolph and link clapped and walked up the free throw line.


    Mike Woodson is in a state of anxiety. He''s totally taken by general Grizzlies!


    Just then, Randolph didn''t shoot after receiving the ball, but chose to meet Wallace, not because Randolph wanted to be brave. It''s because Rashid Wallace has made three fouls after that one!


    Only Rashid Wallace has three fouls in a single quarter.


    Rashid Wallace has been on fire since he was beaten 2 + 1 by link at the beginning of the second quarter. But he didn''t expect that the more excited he was, the more grizzly players would look for him.


    After that, link repeatedly broke through J.R. Smith to find Wallace and let him take a second foul on his back. Just now link broke through to attract Wallace to make up defense, but the person who made the foul became Randolph.


    On the whole, the whole second quarter, J.R. Smith and Wallace, are the two black holes of the Knicks on the defensive end.


    Stevens enjoyed himself on the bench and his plan was very, very successful. By the second half, the Knicks are bound to lose!


    Randolph made the first free throw. After the first penalty, the Knicks began to change players. Mike Woodson had to bring Kurt Thomas, a 40 year old veteran, to the court... The Knicks'' rotation plan was cut to pieces by too many fouls.


    Kurt Thomas is famous for his high level of defense. He was once used to defend Duncan, Yao Ming, O''Neal and other super interior players.


    But now 40 year old Thomas, physical condition is not as good as before. He relies more on experience on defense, but experience doesn''t cover up all the problems. It''s a dangerous move to put Thomas on the court.


    But Woodson has no way, can''t prevent link''s breakthrough, can''t contain the rising number of fouls.


    Randolph also hit the second penalty, at this time, only 3 minutes before the end of the second quarter, the Memphis Grizzlies led by 6 points!


    Anthony has already begun to be unbalanced. He feels that the referee''s call today is a big problem. It''s unreasonable for the team to fall into foul trouble early!


    Anthony didn''t realize how big the Knicks were today. The smell of gunpowder blinded his sense of smell, anger blinded his eyes.


    When the Knicks attack again, Anthony found that the attack space became extremely narrow. After Rashid Wallace left the game, the Knicks lost an offensive threat point in an instant.


    Randolph can now stand on the edge of the penalty area with impunity, waiting for J.R. and Anthony to come to the net!


    Kurt Thomas as a height of only 2.05 meters inside, the distance jump shot has been his killer, which is also his main means of scoring.


    But to the 40 year old Thomas, he said that he was uneven in all parts of his body, so the threat of that accurate shot was greatly reduced.


    On the offensive side, Kurt Thomas almost disappeared.


    Finally, Antony bravely attacks the frame, but under the double interference of igordala and Randolph, Anthony fails again!


    Anthony is angry. He doesn''t want to see the game end like this. So in his own layup missed, Anthony also reluctantly want to fight for offensive rebounds.So the New York No. 7 pushed igordala, who was stuck in front of him, and jumped to get the rebound in his pocket.


    But as soon as he got the rebound, Anthony heard the disturbing whistle again.


    "Rebounding fouls, grizzlies right!"


    The referee yelled at the technical platform and made a decision. Under this, the Knicks players on the field quit and rushed to the referee to defend Anthony.


    On the bench, Mike Woodson and Ronnie brewer also called out to question the referee''s decision.


    Carmelo Anthony himself swears, because if it''s a foul, he''ll be fouled three times like Kurt Thomas!


    Three fouls before half-time is too dangerous for the team''s top card.


    Just as Anthony was greeting the referee with the words beginning with F, link floated to Anthony.


    Anthony didn''t want to pay attention to link until link said to him, "this is Memphis. New Yorkers don''t count. Before the game you said I was dead, now, do you see your situation?


    Antoniton''s blue - blooded. This boy is crazy!


    Link smiles at Anthony and runs forward for the next attack.


    Anthony''s expression just made link sure that the guy was on the verge of collapse.


    A few minutes later, the second quarter is over. 59-49, the Memphis Grizzlies are 10 points ahead of the best team in the East in just two quarters.


    Mike Woodson is sweating at the moment. If he is only 10 points behind, there is nothing to be nervous about. After all, the Knicks have a whole half to turn the tables around.


    What really bothers Mike Woodson is the number of fouls the players make. He would rather be a few more points behind than have his players in a foul crisis.


    As a result, Mike Woodson had to stress to the players in the dressing room at half-time, "in the second half, you must pay attention to your actions! We have too many unnecessary fouls, those fouls will not only let the other side on the free throw line, but also may cause our lineup to become incomplete! In the second half, be careful


    Stevens, on the other hand, "well done guys, the Knicks fouls one by one, that''s what we want! They want to play dirty, that''s the consequence! In the second half of the game, the Knicks will be afraid of their hands and feet! So, let''s strengthen our attack! "


    After that, Stevens sat down next to link and whispered to him alone.


    "The Knicks are afraid of you. In the second quarter, your tactics were very beautiful."


    "Hey, it''s J.R.''s defense is too weak." Link waved his hand.


    "You just heard what I said. We have to open the score in the third quarter. So, I need you to do more. I know it sounds crazy, but... Do you want to end the game in three quarters? "


    "Ah?" In surprise, link turned his head and looked at Stevens. Some of them were gentle on the surface, but actually they were black.
