Arenas looked at the staff who were still wailing on the ground, and asked Lamar blankly, "Is this a good start?"

The time for the game is finally coming, and the more than 20,000 San Antonio fans in the Spurs arena are screaming like a tsunami.

But this is not a deterrent to the Knicks at all, and they are persona non grata wherever they go. After a long time, they got used to playing the opposite role, and then pulled the hero from the altar and beat them down.

When Lamar appeared, the ATT Center Arena immediately became a swear camp, but the English vocabulary was too poor and far less colorful than Chinese. In addition to the national scolding that starts with "F", at most it is mixed with a few tongue-twisting "You are a stinky pig" and "You eat feces".

Looking at Lamar's "I'm strong, I don't care" expression, Tim didn't get angry. Originally, I hoped that the terrifying home atmosphere of the ATT Center Arena at this moment would give Lamar a dismount, but who knew that this guy's cheek had caught up with the city wall and didn't care at all.

Seeing Tim come over with an angry face, Lamar took the initiative to reach out his hand!

"Lamar, welcome to Hell! ”

Lamar was stunned for a moment, looked at Duncan, who had a rare different expression on his face, and smiled indifferently.

Lamar reached out and shook his hand before saying, "I'm sorry! I'm a believer in Satan, and Hell is my home to me!"

As the referee on duty threw the ball into the air, the revenge battle that was hyped by the media before the game officially came to a close.

The NBA celebrities sitting on the sidelines had their eyes wide open for fear of missing any shots from the scene, and the entertainment stars who came to cheer on were busy competing for beauty, showing off their colorful facial expressions to attract more camera shots.

Dampot and Duncan leapt up at about the same time, their long arms stretched out as far as they could for the basketball, neither of them willing to fall behind in the early stages of this crucial game.

It's just a pity that although Tim's heart is high, he is not fully integrated with his own jumping ability.

Although his offensive and defensive skills under the basket have reached the top level of this league, and he has also mastered the unsolvable killer weapon of hitting the board and shooting, his jumping ability can only be regarded as second-rate at most among the many interior players in the league.

"Smack!"

Dampot easily reached the basketball, slapped it to Lamar's location, and ran to the Spurs' basket as soon as he landed, along with Olajuwon, who was making his first start of the season.

Zhuge looked at the strange lineup of the Knicks, and a lot of ideas came to his mind, but he didn't understand the point.

Van Gundy's lineup today seemed too strange to him, not only taking away Sean Battier, who had performed well before, but also putting Antonio Davis, who has a lot of experience in the team, on the bench. The person who was sent, Olajuwon can also be understood as strengthening the team's interior attack, but letting Dampotter replace Lamar as a power forward is a bit of a puzzle for him.

As a veteran coach, Zhuge Vic certainly saw the potential of Darmspoter, but with such a young rookie player in an unfamiliar position in such an important game, he asked himself if he could make such a crazy move.

"Let's see!"

Spurs' starting lineup today continues the team's starting lineup since the start of the new season:

Center: David Robinson

Power forward: Tim Duncan

Forward: Bruce Bowen

Shooting guard: Brent Barry

Point guard: Tony Parker

The Spurs began to fine-tune this season, and the roster began to move towards a younger one. One of the next troika, the French sports car entered the NBA this year and began to serve as the team's starting guard.

After Lamar got the ball, the Knicks began their first attack of the game, and Brent Barry, who was ordered to defend Lamar, also hurriedly posted up.

However, anyone can see that it is a fool's dream to want him to guard against Lamar, and Barry is far inferior to Lamar in terms of physical fitness and technique. The only experience that can be used is no different from paper in front of Lamar, who has never played cards according to common sense.

Just when people thought that Lamar would have to deal with the ball on his own. Lamar made a surprise move, a high throw that put the ball in the hands of Olajuwon on the inside.

Not good!

Zhuge had a premonition of danger, he seemed to have found something, but it was not clear yet. All that can be done now is to wait for the Knicks to reveal their true intentions, and then he will see the move again.

Olajuwon received the ball and leaned on Duncan, who was defending him, and although he was physically at a disadvantage, he had no reason to fear anyone when it came to technology.

While Olajuwon and Duncan were battling, Darm Porter took advantage of the situation to move to the free throw line, and David Robinson did not dare to slack off and hurried out to defend.

At this time, Olajuwon suddenly chose to attack, and the advantage of experience made Tim, a league-level power forward, a little unbearable, and was forced to retreat again and again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Robinson immediately dropped Darm Porter and went straight to the basket to adopt a trap tactic.

But before he could run into place, Olajuwon suddenly passed the ball to Dampoter's hand with a ground-hitting pass, and the unguarded Dampoter immediately jumped up and shot.

"Huh!"

In Lamar's previous life, Damport's shooting skills were at most third-rate among the league's interior players. However, after a long period of special training this summer, his shooting skills have improved significantly, and he can at least guarantee a shooting rate of more than 60% when unguarded.

I see!

It wasn't until the end of the Knicks' first offense that Zhuge finally understood what Van Gundy was thinking, but he didn't expect him to use a two-tower tactic.

The so-called double-tower tactic is that when attacking under the basket, the two interior linemen always keep one left and one right of the basket, and never squeeze on one side, so as to control the attack range under the basket to the greatest extent. Keep one player in the low post and the other out from under the basket. One is to retreat directly to the free-throw line, and if the opposing defender comes out, the player with the ball in the low post plays single, and if he is trapped, the ball is distributed to the free-throw line and another person makes a mid-range shot.

If there is no chance, the ball is distributed to the outside for a three-point opportunity, or to make a break from the outside, which is usually the good corner and the bottom corner of the opponent's weak side. The other is to swim to the baseline on the other side, and then through the pick-and-roll, protect the outside player from the middle to make a catch-and-shoot layup, and if there is no opportunity to cut, the wandering center returns to the free throw line to make a mid-range shot.

The third situation is that the center goes to the basket first and presses first. Then he suddenly mentioned that the free throw line was facing the basket to receive the ball, the purpose was to pull out the opponent's center, withdraw the basket, and at the same time the other person quickly pressed from the weak side to the basket, forming a big offensive advantage situation. If the opposing center doesn't follow, a jumper from the free throw line is made.

The most basic tactical idea of the twin towers is to use one inside line to pull the empty basket, so that the other inside line can form a more favorable situation for physical confrontation, which is commonly known as "playing with a big fight".

However, tactics are always tactics, and capable players are needed to complete them, because the Spurs' twin towers have the ability to eat under the basket and mid-range jumpers, so this set of tactics was produced.

If you lack the ability to shoot in the middle, the opposing center will not follow, so there is no so-called twin towers.

Obviously, the current Knicks' two-tower tactics do not have such mature conditions, Olajuwon's ability is good, and the mid-range shooting is good, but he has to respond, and although Darmsport now has a certain mid-range shooting ability, it is still unstable, and he will not respond, which also restricts the twin-tower tactics from wielding his real power.

But will Van Gundy, the old fox, leave such an obvious flaw for the other party?

The Spurs' next attack was still completed by Duncan, and a step-back shot was easily hit to tie the score.

Next, when the Knicks attacked, Lamar still chose to drop the ball to Olajuwon on the inside, and Darmsport still moved to the free throw line at the first time.

Robinson quickly followed, and almost like last time, Olajuwon saw that there was only one Duncan left on the Spurs' interior line, and immediately began to attack. As soon as Robinson wanted to go back to the bag, he heard Zhuge Vic shouting from the sidelines.

"Don't move!

Is that all there is to it?

Olajuwon smiled and then passed the ball to Lamar on the outside, and then Dampot and Olajuwon moved together, and the two men went from being on opposite sides of the basket to standing in a straight line with the basket.

The Spurs' interior line was a little caught off guard by this change in the Knicks. Just as they panicked, Lamar immediately leaned down to break through, and a disguised acceleration easily ran over Brent Barry, who was defending him.

At the same time, the Knicks' tactical machine began to run at high speed, with Darm Porter and Olajuwon moving to the left side of the Spurs half at the same time, pulling Thiem and David out, and Alan Houston quickly cutting outside to Chauncey for a pick-and-roll.

When Chauncey moved to the junction of the free-throw arc and the free-throw line, commonly known as the weak side, Lamar's pass was just right.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chauncey received the ball and threw it.

"Huh!"

The basketball went into the basket steadily.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Vic could only smile bitterly, but he didn't expect that this was Van Gundy's real killer move. The previous twin tower tactics were only part of the overall strategy, and the triangle tactics that followed were the backhand of the whole set of tactics. On the bright side, the offensive core of the Knicks is now two interior players, but in fact, it is still Lamar Odom, the offensive soul who is ambushed on the outside, who controls the offensive lifeblood of the whole team.

"It's really a good idea!" (To be continued.) )
