Anderson was also a defensive holebreaker, and D'Antoni was forced to replace him with Parsons.

Many fans wondered why they didn't let Scola play. Because Scola is too slow in training, playing the No. 4 position can't prevent Parsons. Gao Fushuai is much worse than Anthony in all aspects on the offensive end, and it is impossible to prevent Scola against the melon.

The confrontation between the two sides was very fierce, with Pierce and Anthony being sent to the free throw line again and again, and they had a technical advantage and were good at heads-up.

Zhou Xuan was blocked by the big man, and there was no good chance to shoot, so he mainly passed the ball.

In the first quarter, the Knicks fell behind 22-26, and Zhou Xuan had 5 points and 3 assists.

D'Antoni arranged for Zhou Xuan to shoot more, but once the Nets got off Lopez, the Nets' defense was stable, and it was difficult for the defender to get an easy shot, unless he took the ball through the half court and directly singled out Delon, the four teammates became decorations, and the physical strength to play Zhou Xuan like that in the whole court could not support the end.

In the second quarter, the Knicks sent Jeremy Lin and Bledsoe as two guards, with Nick Young and Scola at the front and Bletche at center. The Nets also have a duo of Watson and Brooks, with Pierce at the front and Evans and Lopes on the inside.

Lopez plays on the bench, and the person who can defend and grab rebounds at the No. 4 position is also much better and complementary. The Nets' defense of Pierce and Lopez was unsuccessful, and after four minutes, the margin was stretched to 11 points.

Su Qun said: "This period of Knicks is not playing well, and the offensive efficiency is very low. Nick Young played well in the regular season and was even a contender for the Sixth Man of the Year in the first half of the season, but he couldn't play hard.

Yang Jian said: "The playoffs are a stage for stars, and Knicks players rely too much on Zhou Xuan. The Nets have the quality, and their elimination of the Heat speaks for itself. Under the leadership of the veterans, they are getting better and better. ”

The Heat are the alchemy of a strong team, they are not bad, but they lack luck. In the 2011 playoffs, there were problems with the interior defense, and it was difficult to defend Stadameyer and Pekovic; Last season, Bosh's injury made the Heat's interior worse; This year, the lineup is finally complete, McMiller is already half-useless, there is still no good center on the inside, Wade's state has begun to decline, and he has also encountered a more perverted and exaggerated Nets team with a more perverted lineup.

The Heat's ability to play Game 7 has already shown surprise, which is related to James' outstanding individual ability.

After half a season of running-in, the Nets are indeed strong now, and they can play any tactics. As long as they don't let Lopez and Pierce get up, they can also attack quickly.

In the second half, the Knicks finally started to score, but the score was still behind.

At this time, people felt that the Knicks lineup could not be compared with the Nets. A star of the Nets team has a poor hand, and there are other people who can play, and if the Knicks Zhou Xuan is killed by the main offense, a group of people will become spectators.

D'Antoni realised he had made a mistake in his pre-match thinking. gave the ball to Zhou Xuan for the main attack, but the role players really kept passing the ball to Zhou Xuan, and they were not resolute in attacking, as if if they didn't give Zhou Xuan the coach would not play according to the coach's arrangement, and it was not a team behavior. No matter how good Zhou Xuan is, it is impossible for him to defeat a group of stars in the Nets team by himself.

At halftime, D'Antoni changed his strategy and allowed his role players to take bold shots and step up to score.

However, the midfielder said it was a little late, and Anthony broke out in the second half.

Parsons' defensive ability is above average, not an expert, and Leonard goes to deal with Pierce. In this section, Melon scored like crazy, cutting down 21 points. A super scorer like him is unstoppable once he finds his touch. Parsons can't defend it, Anderson can't defend it, and Chandler can't help it.

Anthony played very simply, leaned on it and turned around and pulled it out, and entered if he couldn't cover it.

The Knicks have an advantage on Bledsoe's fast break, but they become a disadvantage on the defensive end. At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks trailed by 17 points, 78-95.

D'Antoni made another mistake in the final quarter, he wanted to step up his attack, and switched on Scola and Bleche to partner on the inside. Chandler rests with Anderson, who doesn't feel good. As a result, the interior line did not do a good job of defending Anthony, and when his own offense was opened, the opponent scored consecutive points.

Zhou Xuan still didn't feel very good, and only scored 23 points in the game, 9 of 23 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He grabbed three rebounds and dished out eight assists. Under the double-block strategy, Delon got 18 points, 2 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals. The two are statistically evenly matched.

There was no clear advantage in the strongest point, and no one else could step up and take over the game, and the Knicks lost 101-114 to make the overall score 1-1.

After winning this game, everyone in the Nets team rose up and expressed confidence in advancing to the finals.

López played just 18 minutes, staggered time with Garnett, and said in an interview: "For the sake of the team's victory, I am willing to be a substitute and the important thing is to be able to win. ”

Garnett became the target of media pursuit, and his defense was crucial.

The reporter asked: "Your stats have dropped with the Nets, there was news that you have become the team's sixth man, and now you help the team win the game. What's your secret? ”

Garnett said: "Defending, defending the box, we have a lot of attacking players in the team, I just need to defend well. We have what it takes to challenge for a championship and we don't want to be beaten by the Knicks. ”

At the end of his career, being a blue-collar worker is not a shame or something unacceptable for Garnett.

Anthony said in an interview: "I hope the New York fans can support us, I think the Nets are fully capable of knocking out the Knicks, we have the quality to win the championship." ”

Anthony is worried that when the Nets are at home, there are more fans who support the Knicks, which will also become a factor that determines the outcome of the game, so he will pull support when he has the opportunity.

D'Antoni directly blamed himself for the loss, sighing: "I am responsible for the defeat this time, when the opponent's attack opened, I failed to adjust the tactics in time to strengthen the defense of Antony. We'll find a way to contain the Nets' offense in the regular season, and they didn't have that much attacking power in the regular season. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I had some problems controlling the tempo today, and I hope to play better in the next game. ”

After the game, the media said that the two teams were likely to play a full seven games. The Nets have shown their strength, and the experts are not all optimistic about the Knicks. Others say that the Knicks must make a trade in the summer, and they could consider sending Chandler away, signing "Monster" Howard, and strengthening the interior defense.

Mullin has also considered a trade, but he believes that the Knicks' biggest weakness is not defense, but low-post offense, and a meat shield on the inside.

Parsons and Anderson are both unable to resist people, and once Chandler is withdrawn from the interior, the interior defense will be a mess. Chandler's offense was also disappointing, and he couldn't have improved much at his current age.

While the Knicks are strictly guarding against three-point shooting, it is enough to have a rebound player on the inside who can grab rebounds and resist others. They lost this game because of the outside.

There were a lot of great free agents in the free agency market in the summer, and the Knicks had salary space to get things done. James Dolan didn't ask to avoid the luxury tax, and after seeing the team being crushed by the Nets' army of money, Mullin had to make a move.

Unlike the fierce competition in the East, the West is a one-sided situation.

The Spurs led the Grizzlies 3-0 and sent their opponents to the brink of elimination. And the Spurs are firmly in control of the situation every game, although they don't win much, they don't give the Grizzlies any chance.

Duncan has a way to limit Randolph, and the Spurs' compressed defense also makes it impossible for the Grizzlies to open up inside. And the Grizzlies' outside players are not accurate enough, and Tony Allen is a pure defensive guard, who doesn't have much control over mid-range shots and can't shoot three-pointers. Prince's three-point shooting hasn't been practiced for years, and he can only shoot from the field when no one is guarding. Conley is the only one who is sure, and as long as Parker entangles him, the Grizzlies' three-point score will basically be wasted.

On the other hand, the Spurs Green, Ray Allen, Gary Nealen, and Ginobili are composed of three points from the outside. The Spurs' small-ball tactics can be fast-breaking, and they can be combined inside and outside. In the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, Dior, Harris, and Bamot can defend solidly. They did a very good job of switching from the outside, and the Grizzlies couldn't guard against it.

Gasol Jr. previously won the Defensive Player of the Year trophy, and Memphis media said he had surpassed Gasol Jr., and the Grizzlies' trade with the Lakers is now profitable. As a result, Gasol Jr. was always slow to block and dismantle in this series, and as soon as he went out, he was suddenly sieveed by Parker and Ginobili, giving a resounding slap in the face to those who supported him. On the whole, he is actually quite inferior to the big Gasol. As for the best defensive player, let's take it as a joke from reporters.

The situation in the West is very clear, even if the Grizzlies can win one game at home, it will be more auspicious to go to the Spurs' home court. It's either 4-0 or 4-1 out. Fans were all focused on the New York derby.

On the 27th, the two sides will play the third match at the Barclays Center. The benefit for both sides is that the players can continue to stay home and rest and train daily, and then simply take the bus to Brooklyn.

Because they are both in New York, the stars of both sides did not fight in interviews, and it is usually easy to meet, and it seems that they are not good at the enemy.

The coaching staff had a meeting with three Mikes to discuss the way to play in Game 3.

D'Antoni said: "I would suggest an all-out attack, or a small-ball tactic, with a tight defense on the outside and Tyson on the inside, as long as the offense is open, we can win. If there is a positional battle, a few veterans of the Nets can play a role instead. What do you think? Think about the first game, Stephen and Eric played a few fast breaks. ”

Ma Long asked: "Then who is on the No. 4 position?" ”

"Chandler [Parsons], I want him to play against Anthony all over the court, he's better at defending in terms of height and weight. If you force the basket, Tyson can wrap it. D'Antoni said.

In this way, the slow Scola had to continue to sit on the bench.

Woodson proposed: "I think we can also give Jeremy Lin a little more time, this player has a good break, in the second quarter he and Wesley pressed forward together should make the Nets uncomfortable, he can play a good pass can also play fast break, we can play small ball tactics all over the court, and then Chris (Copland) will be on the fourth position for a while." ”

"Okay, that's it."

D'Antoni is going to use his best tactics against the Nets.
