After the timeout, Kidd made three substitutions. Garnett was substituted and Plumlee was brought on inside.

Youngster Plumlee is a dark horse among this year's rookies and has not been favored in the summer because of Lopez's injury. He played really well when Garnett was injured in the regular season, and if he had started all season, he would have won Rookie of the Year. He's willing to fight, especially defensively, and Kidd wants him to try.

In the last series, when Garnett was on the floor, the stats showed that the Nets had lost by 11 points. This is a sad statistic, but it is also true.

Delong was ordered to play on the field, organizing the attack and defending Zhou Xuan.

Pierce went off the pitch and brought on Alan Smith to strengthen the defense and overall mobility. The fame of the two can't be compared, but Kidd is doing it right, and he quickly adjusts when he sees something wrong, otherwise he will fall behind more. He saw that the team had to speed up, and if he was just a shooter, Smith could do it, and Pierce could handle it in the second quarter.

The Knicks did not make substitutions, and D'Antoni emphasized two sentences of defense against Anthony, which was very labor-saving.

After the game began, the two sides fought hard to defend, and Anthony was aggressive in the switch, chasing quickly and interfering with Bosh's shot. The next time the Nets attacked, Bosh also followed Anthony and interfered with his jump shot.

Sitting on the sidelines, Garnett watched the game with a serious expression and without saying a word, and he didn't even spew trash talk this time.

If a conversation suddenly becomes silent, it must have been a major blow. Garnett is like this, he thinks it doesn't make much sense to spew trash talk at Jefferson again, the opponent is 20+10, he can't score double-doubles, and on the defensive end, he feels like he's running out. He judged the right direction for many balls, wanted to jump up and block, wanted to interfere with the shot, but his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't get up fast.

I have a championship, do I want to retire at the end of this season? Garnett thought to himself. He also wants to win another championship at the end of his career, but it's hard unless he joins the Knicks. When you get to the Knicks, you have to play off the bench and play very short minutes. He didn't want to play an average of 10 minutes per game, he wanted to keep that pride and leave.

Garnett's biggest regret is that Duncan is still active in the league. Duncan was a college student who joined the league and he was in high school. That's when he realized that he was really inferior to Duncan. In fact, it should have been understood that the gap between the two in terms of the number of championships, the best team, the best defensive lineup, and personal honors is big enough.

The Nets can't open the inside and can only shoot from the perimeter, and Jefferson is outstanding in the league in terms of resistance, unless he is beaten by skill or pulled out.

DeLong played very depressed after coming on the court, passing the ball in the half, not breaking through, and waiting for opportunities to shoot on the periphery. He didn't score a point in the first quarter and handed out two assists, and if it weren't for Joe Johnson's running jumper and two three-pointers, the Nets would have collapsed in the first quarter. Since entering the playoffs, Joe Johnson has played steadily and is the most reliable for the Nets other than Anthony.

The Knicks led by eight points at 33-25.

In the second quarter, the Nets teamed up with Livingston, Smith, Pierce, Evans, and Plumlee.

The Knicks played the two-guard combination of Augustin and Bledsoe, and small forward Parsons, interior Anderson and Bosh, began to run and shoot with all their might, grabbed the rebound and threw it to the frontcourt.

When defending, the Knicks spread very far out, mainly interfering with outside shots. The Nets' attack is even worse, and without Lopez, their low-post offense is scum. Evans could only defend and grab rebounds. The two inside lines went out to cover and were also emptied.

Bosh's greatest specialty is pick-and-roll, and he knows how to form a trap on the line, not only interfering with shots but also disrupting the line of sight of passing, forcing opponents to move the ball laterally, and making mistakes if you are not careful. Livingston was successfully tackled by Parsons when he passed Pierce, and the fast break smashed the ball with one hand!

The point difference continued to widen, and Kidd had to replace the main force as soon as possible, and Anthony replaced Plumlee and also played small ball tactics. In this way, it did score, but it hit the Knicks. They like to fight with their opponents the most, and in the second half of the quarter, Zhou Xuan went on a fast break, a fast break through the pass, a fast break air cut dunk, a fast break on the periphery of three points, and a breakthrough layup, which was extremely exciting.

At 67-51, the Knicks led by 16 points to end the first half. Zhou Xuan played comprehensively, scoring 15 points and 10 assists, 6 assists in a single quarter, and a double-double at halftime.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhou Xuan continued to play, and Jefferson played his strongest power in blocking and dismantling in the high position. Plumlee was inexperienced and opened a lob to score on the inside. He switched to Zhou Xuan a little slower, and Zhou Xuan bypassed Delong and scored three jumpers. It's all one position, 60 degrees on the right side, one step inside the three-point line, and there is no solution to the accuracy.

Barkley said: "The Knicks have improved the most this season is blocking, Zhou Xuan and Bosh's jump shots are too accurate, and Jefferson is even more painful if he doesn't play together." Anderson is not a mid-range shot, but a three-point shot, and he's the big man with the most threes in the league. ”

"The Knicks have won championships on the inside offense, and now they have the best interior in the league, and you can't think of any team with a more luxurious interior than these four," Smith said. The Spurs only have Split and Duncan, and one person can score. The substitutes Dior, Harris, and Bonner can only be regarded as average. The Clippers Griffin, Jordan Jr., and Davis are good, and Hollins is a little worse. The combination of Bulls Noah, Boozer, and Gibson is okay, but Boozer is on a downward trend, and after this season, in order to strengthen the team, maybe he will be cut. Now he has been reduced to a high-paid imbecile. ”

Barkley said: "Teams with a dominant interior line are easy to win championships, and the Lakers, Spurs, Pistons, Celtics, and later the Lakers won the championship season, the interior line is very strong. Zhou Xuan has a strong center around him, as long as the lineup is complete and Bosh is left, I think the Knicks will be the favorites to win the championship in five or even ten years. 10 years later, maybe Zhou Xuan can still win the assist king, when he was only 35 years old. Think of 35-year-old Nash. That's bad news for a lot of stars, especially James, and I feel like I'm seeing him follow my old path. ”

Barkley thought about holding his thigh and winning the championship, so he went to the Rockets, when he was not too young and his condition was declining due to injury. Unfortunately, he was pit hard by Pippen. He was willing to take a basic salary for Pippen to join, but Pippen fell worse than him and couldn't work. The Rockets' Big Three didn't even make it past the first round of the playoffs, and Barkley still hates Pippen.

The career of "Pi Er" has been hovering between pits and being pitted. When he signed a long-term contract with the Bulls, he was pitted, and he assisted Jordan for so many years with a salary that was completely inconsistent with his worth, and it is understandable that he is psychopathic.

In the third quarter, the Nets players wanted to fight, but unfortunately the method was wrong, but the defensive action became bigger, knocking down Zhou Xuan and knocking over Bosh, which almost caused a conflict, and the Knicks players hit the free throw line with a very high shooting rate.

In the fourth quarter, Anthony was guarded by two people, did not soar, had a low hit rate, and became a blacksmith. Bosh didn't steal the offense, took him around the perimeter, cut to the basket after covering, Anthony was uncomfortable going back, and it was uncomfortable not to go back.

Zhou Xuan performed amazingly, assisting two big inside points in a row, and also assisted Leonard for a layup on the counterattack, and Parsons made a three-point shot. He scored 6 points and 8 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to 37 points in a single quarter. The 104-79 lead reached 25 points.

Zhou Xuan did not rest in the last quarter, and formed an outside line with Bledsoe, with Henry as a small forward, Parsons as a guest forward, and Anderson as a center, playing a small-ball strategy.

D'Antoni intends to settle the fight in one go, and Anderson is more than enough considering the Nets' poor interior offense.

Positional warfare Zhou Xuan is a scoring guard style of play, and Anderson gets rid of the ball after covering, the opponent is slow to change defenses and pull out on the periphery, and the change of defense is fast enough to break through people. Plumlee and Garnett didn't do well to prevent him. Anthony went up to defend, and Zhou Xuan passed the ball again. Although the melon anti-breakthrough is not very good, Zhou Xuan is not even willing to take this "risk", and it is more efficient to pass to Parsons to play in a misplaced position.

Bledsoe has been playing better and better since his return, and he has played more minutes. D'Antoni admires him because he's fit to run and shoot. After seeing him play in the last series, some Chinese fans commented: "He is from Snowpiercer, no one can run as fast as him." ”

Zhou Xuan played 5 minutes, got 3 points and 5 assists and was substituted, and the Knicks led by 31 points, so he didn't have to play anymore.

The fans applauded. He finished with 24 points, 1 rebound, 23 assists and 2 steals. This evokes bad memories for the Nets players, Zhou Xuan scored a double 20 against them in the playoffs last year, and the point guard can't defend against it at all.

Deron Williams was even more lost than last season, with just seven points and eight assists when he was substituted. With 2-of-9 shooting, he seems to have forgotten how to shoot.

Both sides sent off the bench, with the Knicks' two-guard continuing to run and score, Augustin taking on the playmaking role, Copeland making a cameo at the No. 4 position, and only Daimport, a marginal interior lineman, couldn't shoot.

The Nets felt the pain of the Heat. D'Antoni trained a group of bench bandits, although the shooting was unreasonable, but the speed was too fast, whoever received the ball dared to shoot, Durham Porter did not participate in the offense, only grabbed rebounds in the backcourt, and before he ran half the court, his teammates had already shot.

The Knicks are still ahead in garbage time, and Barkley said: "I think with the Knicks' tactics, let these five people start in garbage time, and they can also average 100 points per game." ”

Smith laughed: "If you just look at the scores, you'd be very hard to find a coach who is better at attacking than D'Antoni. The Clippers have learned from the Knicks to play counter-attacks this year. ”

The first game played a high score, and the Knicks won 142-100!

Su Qun sighed: "The Knicks are too strong, I think this Knicks is definitely one of the strongest championship teams in NBA history, and the big gap between the two teams is not like the division finals." ”

Yang Jian said: "The Nets actually just look stronger, Lopes is injured, the two veterans are famous, and the actual strength is also role players." Delon is in terrible form, mainly relying on Joe Johnson and Anthony. I think they have a future next season and their contracts expire. ”
