Mike Woodson was in a hurry, the Knicks, who had just changed to a small lineup, were restrained by the Spurs, who were also playing in a small lineup, and the situation was not optimistic, and Mike Woodson even wanted to call another timeout......

On the court, Jason Kidd is worthy of being a veteran in the league for more than ten years, when he saw that the Spurs were also a small lineup, or even smaller, Jason Kidd directly replaced Mike Woodson and made an adjustment: "Melo, we can't continue to play a small lineup, play fast break, in this way, you go to the No. 4 position, we play positional offense, grind the success rate, and protect rebounds." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Carmelo Anthony is not a fool either, naturally he understands that Jason Kidd's adjustment makes sense, so he nodded his head to show that he understands.

After the pause, the game started, and Mike Woodson suddenly found that the Knicks did not play as he said, but from Anthony to the No. 4 position, playing a slow-paced positional battle, and his heart was also relaxed at the moment, and he was finally not dragged down by the Spurs' adjustment, and the Knicks also had a chance to maintain the situation on the court.

This season is Jason Kidd's last season, and the older and more demonic Kidd has gradually begun to get in touch with some coaching things, and some clues can be seen in this adjustment.

The Knicks' first offense, Kidd dribbled for a while, and then handed the ball to Anthony on the inside.

Anthony is also a master of back-to-back singles, he turned his back to Danny Green, hit the back twice, and turned with a sliding step, throwing up two points.

As soon as Anthony came out, the Spurs' defense was really stretched, but Popovich didn't care, an Anthony couldn't turn the sky.

Spurs' offense, Anxi went to the No. 4 position, Anthony switched to Anxi, and the two came together.

Anthony is quieter than J.R. Smith, but Anxi has some itchy hands at this time, and just now Anthony's back makes Anxi want to give it a try, or ask Banmen to get an axe.

So he used his back to resist Anthony tightly, stuck his position, and opened his hand to ask for the ball.

Mills held the ball and burst out on the outside for a while, didn't find any good opportunities, saw that Anxi wanted a good position to ask for the ball, and didn't hesitate much, and directly passed the basketball to Anxi.

Anxi hit Anthony on his back, and Yu Jia and Su Qun in the CCTV live broadcast room paid attention with interest.

"Anxi singles Anthony with his back, the battle of Shuang'an!"

"Haha, that's right, Anxi's recent progress in back-to-back singles has also been very fast, and he is already the top back-to-back in the NBA, and Anthony's back-to-back has always been his regular scoring method."

With his back and two sittings, Anthony ate it hard, in terms of strength, Anthony is not Anxi's opponent, but in terms of skills, Anthony is still worthy of Anxi. An Xi's several sits and fights, but they were all cleverly dodged by Anthony.

Anxi hit twice, but didn't find a good opportunity, but Anxi was still very smart, he swayed left and right to find Anthony's defensive center of gravity, and then suddenly turned around and squeezed Anthony to rush to the basket!

At this time, Anthony suddenly lost his defensive center of gravity, and the defensive position was gone, so he followed behind and watched Anxi make a layup!

"Back-hitting...... Or back-to-back...... Turned around! Squeezed directly by Anthony...... Layups! Entered! Yu Jia's commentary is still so passionate, An Xi scored this layup! The fans watching the live broadcast followed that voice in and cheered.

"Beautiful goal! Anxi fully took advantage of his physical advantage, and his back hitting skills were not as good as Anthony's, so use his strength to crush the goal! ”

As Su Qun concluded, since Anxi's skills are not as good as Anthony's, Anxi's physical advantage has been used by Anxi, but Anxi still has his own understanding of skills, and he is indeed inferior to Anthony in skills now, but that's because Anthony has been practicing back fighting for more than ten years, and Anxi has only started to practice.

Anxi has not practiced for a long time, so naturally there is no practice makes perfect.

With a back-to-back goal, the Spurs still led by 8 points, but then, Carmelo Anthony's appearance continued the offensive firepower of the Knicks, and the Spurs failed to continue to extend the lead, and the game ended in the second quarter, and the Spurs were instead pulled back some scores by the Knicks because they lost the protection of interior rebounds.

In the end, at halftime, the Spurs went into halftime with a 57-52 lead of five points.

Failed to open the gap in the first half, Popovich felt that it was a pity, this battle was a game that the Spurs had to win, for the first place in the West, the Spurs could not afford to lose, so Popovich thought about it for a while, stood in the center of the locker room and said: "In the second half, we made some small adjustments, Tony, Ann, Kewai, Tim and Aaron, in the second half, the five of you played, we played positional offense, defended the backcourt rebounds on the defensive end, and disrupted their rhythm through man-to-man defense." ”

Popovich's idea is very simple, don't look at the fierce momentum of the Knicks this season, but there are actually two real scoring points in the Knicks, one is Carmelo Anthony who averages nearly 30 points per game, and the other is JR Smith who averages 18 points per game, and the other players are the kind of players who steal two while they are in good shape, such as Steve Novak, who has been on the court before, with Jason Kidd, Novak can still get a lot of three-point opportunities.

And now, Popovich directly let Anxi and Leonard play together, Anxi defended Jr Smith, Leonard defended Anthony, the two of them each stared at one, and the Spurs used positional warfare to polish the success rate of the offense, and also used two big men to protect the backcourt rebounds, so that Aaron Baines, a meat shield, to deal with Tyson Chandler, everything looked perfect.

Then, at the end of half-time, Popovich clapped his hands and let the players all play.

"Okay, the game is back, the Spurs made another substitution, Tony Parker came on, Anxi and Leonard partnered on the wing, and the interior was a combination of Duncan and Aaron Baines." Yu Jia began to introduce the lineups of the two sides in the second half, "On the Knicks' side, the point guard is Raymond Filton, the scoring guard is J.R. Smith, the small forward Carmelo Anthony, and the interior is a combination of Xiaosi and boxing champion Chandler." ”

At the beginning of the second half, the ball in the first attack was the Spurs', Tony Parker's cut, and in the face of Raymond Filton's somewhat out-of-position defense, he made a jump shot directly, but unfortunately, it was iron......

The Spurs didn't feel good in the opening period, and after Tony Parker conceded a goal first, Duncan's subsequent mid-range shot also didn't score.

However, the Knicks were in good shape, and Anthony faced Leonard's defense and scored two goals in a row, and the point difference was even at once. (To be continued.) )
