For Lee, the most uncomfortable thing after entering the league is that there are too many small players facing him.
Kevin Johnson is only 1.85 ters tall and plays more explosively than Stockton, with a bit of a point guard aspect to him.
The common feature of the two is that they are experienced in defense and also have a lot of small moves.
Throughout a ga, the ball protector has to work hard to protect the basketball. At the sa ti, a simple pick-and-roll may not always produce the desired effect.
After Kevin Johnson adapted to Lee's playing style, the experienced old-school guard would secretly pull his thigh whenever he found himself losing position when squeezing through screens.
This trick was extrely useful, as Lee's dribbling rhythm was disrupted several tis. Once he failed to get rid of the defense, the opponent would imdiately tangle up with him.
The two n frequently competed with each other, and the Suns fans at the scene also joined in the fun.
This is also a feature of basketball in this era.
In so rounds, everyone would like to see players not running tactics, but competing with each other based on their personal abilities.
In other words, it was a "blind shot"!
Just after Lee committed a defensive foul in the last round and made two free throws, Kevin Johnson suddenly changed his defensive strategy and started to lead the defense.
Lee, holding the ball in his right hand and accelerating, dribbled the ball behind his back without waiting to get close to the center line.
He took advantage of the opponent's sliding defense and turned around quickly.
To get the ball again, Lee simply turned sideways to protect the ball. He first stopped suddenly, then held the ball with his right hand and dribbled across half court against the defense.
Near the top of the arc and the three-point line, Kevin Johnson pressed again. As he cut the ball, the two n had a physical confrontation, bumped into each other, and then moved so distance apart.
Lee, who kept his body sideways to protect the ball, saw Kevin Johnson lower his center of gravity and co up to defend him. He felt the pressure on his waist and cursed in his heart.
Lee took two steps to the right wing, and at this ti the players on both sides consciously opened up the offensive space.
Kevin Johnson stared at Lee's movents and blasted the ball hard on the spot. Lee, who was protecting the ball sideways, shook his shoulders backwards, then turned around and pushed the ball, accelerating in a simple and rough straight line.
Kevin Johnson reacted very quickly and imdiately readjusted his center of gravity, sliding desperately to the left and rear.
Unable to break free of the defense, Lee broke through to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, dribbled the ball quickly behind his back, and at the sa ti exerted force with his feet to complete a step back.
After creating so space to shoot, Lee quickly passed the ball and imdiately made a quick stop jump shot at the elbow!
Kevin Johnson knew he was out of position, so he didn't touch the ball after jumping up, but directly slapped Lee on the arm.
"Squeak!"
The referee blew the whistle imdiately, signaling two free throws. The offense was disrupted. Lee sternly walked to the free throw line, cursing in his heart:
"Another iron-blooded defense!"
The fans at the scene started to boo and cheer. It was obvious that everyone was very satisfied with this tough defense.
Kevin Johnson played old-school, using rough fouls to disrupt the offensive players' touch. He kept nodding and high-fiving during free throws, calling on the fans at the scene to increase the intensity of the interference.
Clay Lee made both free throws.
Seeing that the tension between the two sides was getting stronger and stronger, he imdiately replaced Clay Lee and Charles Oakley.
At 20:15, with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Knicks still led by 5 points.
Back on the bench, Oakley just sat down and patted Lee on the shoulder again:
"You perford well and you know how to pass the ball. I'll pay for your next activity!"
Seeing the old man showing an expression of "you are smart
