Chapter 897 [Record for the Largest Score Difference in History]
Worse than defense is the Pacers' offense.
Hibbert once again asked for the ball in the low post and singled Jefferson, dribbled twice and couldn't get close to the basket, passed out, and Starkey forced a jump shot wide under Zhou Xuan's defense.
Starkey thought about the Knicks' failure to hug his thigh in the summer because he shot too poorly. I can't practice it for seven seasons, obviously I have no talent, and I won't be able to practice it in the future. The Pistons offered 25 million for three years in order to renew this guy's contract, and now they don't want to be cheated a second time.
The Pacers dragged on for an offer from Evan Turner in the summer. As a result, as soon as Turner signed with the Celtics, George was injured. They had to bring in Rush again, and the level of Rush and Turner was really not half a star.
Blocking an attack from the Knicks, the Pacers positional battle came and went, and finally Sam Porter's jumper missed again. Hibotra couldn't get out of the inside at all, which made it difficult for his teammates to break through. The Pacers guards are not good at breaking through the ball, so they can only attack on their own.
In three minutes, five men took turns to shoot and scored only one goal. West is good at catching and shooting after blocking and picking, and he is not a strong attack with the ball, and he is not very efficient at playing Bosh.
The Knicks' offense played smoothly, Zhou Xuan's peripheral organization was not impatient, handed over to Parsons and Leonard to shoot after covering, and as soon as the inside line was defended, Jefferson immediately cut into the air and attacked in a deep position. Even Hibbert's single defense of Jefferson was difficult, and there was no way to stop Jefferson from getting to the basket when the outside line was misplaced, and the score quickly increased to more than 15 points.
The Knicks led by 21 points 37-16 in the first quarter, and the Pacers couldn't find North. Zhou Xuan only took two shots, hit a three-pointer, and scored 3 points and 11 assists.
The Pacers have a poor low-post offense and rely on outside shooting, which happens to be what the Knicks are good at defensively.
In the second quarter, Anderson and Beasley formed the interior line, and Butler, Ben Gordon, and Bledsoe were on the perimeter.
Pacers bench lineup Watson, George Hill, CJ Myers, LaVoy Allen, Mashinmy.
The Knicks hit a run-and-shoot, Bledsoe and Anderson blocked in positional battles, Beasley went to the side to cover Gordon, and then misplaced offense with the ball. D'Antoni arranged Beasley heads-up, and in practice, he could form a three-threat attack on the flank, just like Anthony did.
Misplaced against Watson, Beasley's advantage was too obvious, and his direct hit of Masimmi was also like a misalignment. He didn't disappoint, scoring six points in a row. If the Pacers don't shrink, Bledsoe attacks with the ball, and as soon as he shrinks, both of them can shoot from the perimeter.
Six minutes later, the difference widened to 30 points, and for the home fans, D'Antoni still sent Zhou Xuan to form a double guard with Bledsoe, with Anderson and Bosh on the inside, and small forward Parsons.
The Pacers replaced all the main forces, but they still couldn't withstand the Knicks' offense.
Zhou Xuan didn't let Hibbert have a chance to play his strengths at all, and always patiently waited for the side cover to pass the ball to his teammates to shoot. Parsons was in great form today, scoring 14 points in the first quarter and continuing to do so in the first quarter.
And the Pacers switched to Zhou Xuan a little slower, he would also jump directly and assist Bosh to score a mid-range shot.
At halftime 77-38, the Knicks led by 39 points. Zhou Xuan had 5 points, 16 assists and 1 steal, and Parsons had 24 points and 3 rebounds.
A contract year can bring out the best in a person, and sometimes signing a free agent is a big risk. At the beginning, Matthews did the work on the offensive end, and Parsons did it, and the efficiency was only high. He has a height advantage and is more likely to get shots than Matthews.
At halftime, "Magic" Johnson commented: "The Pacers have won the game by defense in the past two seasons, but at the same time, they can't be completely without offense, their offense is too bad." ”
Van Gundy smiled: "Hibbert and George stayed after the conflict, at this time he should have taken on the offensive task, but he couldn't squeeze into the penalty area under the opponent's defense, hooked from a distance on both sides, and the jump shooting rate was not guaranteed, and he scored 2 points at halftime." I really don't know where he got the confidence to have the ball. ”
Hibbert's rot is also reflected in the defensive end, Zhou Xuan and Parsons' scores are almost all obtained by him who can't prevent them from being out of place, and he shoots when he catches the ball or makes a one-step stop-and-go jump shot.
Finally, someone got into the low post to ask for the ball alone, and he was also taken out of the basket. This time he was completely depressed, as helpless as a rookie who had just entered the alliance.
In the second half, Zhou Xuan sat on the bench, and the coaching staff felt that he didn't need to play again, and it was just a simple brush. The top five were Bledsoe, Gordon, small forward Kyle Anderson, and on the inside were Beasley and Aldridge.
Sending Hellam Porter away, the Knicks signed him to a two-year contract with a minimum salary in the summer and a team option for the second year in order to develop White Ard. Ellington and Marshall didn't make the 12-man squad and just served as spare tires on the outside.
At the beginning, the introduction of these two people was to be a spare tire, and Mullin saw that Bledsoe was delaying the renewal of the contract, and thought of this method to scare people and give him a feeling, we can't do without you, so Bledsoe signed, and it was a long-term contract.
If Bredsoe only signs for one year in the end and pursues a high salary next summer, it is also not what the Knicks want. Bledsoe has the potential to be the team's best sixth man.
In the second half, the Knicks were fast-breaking, and rookie Kyle Anderson began to appreciate the benefits of being in the run-and-gun system, and Aldridge helped him get stuck to the guys, and he only needed to take the rebound and be responsible for a pass fast-break.
It's not an easy job, and if you let Beasley do it, you're likely to make a mistake. Kyle was good at this in college, treating Zhou Xuan as an idol, and the big man who takes passing as his responsibility is really not blowing, and his pass is very accurate. The three of them are fast attacking, and Beasley is also fast, and he doesn't need to think in the run, and he doesn't need to pass the ball when he receives it, just his own.
With the exception of Aldridge, everyone else played well. Ade's disadvantage is that he is slow, which has prevented him from being reused after being drafted with a high pick. He still carried people in the low post, and didn't let Hibbert lightly into the penalty area.
Hibbert led the team to attack, more like a substitute than a substitute, unable to grab rebounds, unable to squeeze into the restricted area, and the key player was missed three times in a row under the interference of Ade. He was replaced halfway through the third quarter, with two points, five rebounds, and one block on 1-of-8 shooting, as well as two turnovers.
Marcinmy plays, rebounds, and does average protection on the inside, and the low-post offense is even worse, occasionally showing off mid-range shots, and rarely attacking strongly, and because of this, the Mavericks gave up on him. Watson and Hill are the main attackers, and the periphery is more than iron.
The third quarter was not played, and the game went into garbage time early.
The Knicks are unrelenting. If Zhou Xuan is not up, Bledsoe will have to continue to play, and with him, he can ensure a fast break, and Beasley, Butler, Gordon, and Ade also played the fourth quarter.
Butler has a lot of experience, delivered two beautiful assists, and also received a Gordon pass and shot a three-pointer, Beasley has a strong misposition attack ability, a direct jump shot in the middle, and a breakthrough with physical advantages, which are not something Watson can prevent.
Vogel lost even worse after replacing the main force, the second half was defeated, the team's offense could not be opened in the fourth quarter, and it could not be prevented, but Bledsoe and Beasley did not stop performing, and the offense was more fierce than the first half.
With one minute left and the Knicks leading by 61 points, people realized that a magical record was about to be made, and that was the largest point margin in NBA history.
It's not a brush-up, the Knicks are already on the bench, and they are still weaker, and Anderson is sitting off the court.
The Pacers bench players were completely devoid of fighting spirit, and it looked like this, to be precise, unorganized. Watson and Hill are not orthodox defenders, and the players are fighting on their own, and their hands are pitiful. Without a George, the blow to the Pacers is disastrous.
In 55 seconds, Butler suddenly pulled a three-pointer on the right side without pressure, and the substitute Solomon Hill did not cover it, and the ball bounced into the frame. The goal stretched the margin to 64 points, placing it in the top three of NBA history, ahead of the Pacers with 65 points.
On February 28, 1998, the Pacers beat the Trail Blazers by 65 points, 124-59! It was the biggest win in the history of the Pacers, and it was just one step away from the biggest 68-point win in NBA history. In addition, it was the only bloody case in history in which the winning team scored more points than the opponent combined, and it was also a massacre in which the total number of points scored by the losing team was less than half that of the winning team.
The Pacers forced the attack, Hill broke through and threw Beasley, he was not Parker, although the action was a bit similar, he still missed the basket, and Ade took the rebound in the backcourt and passed to Bledsoe for the fast break.
"Bloodcloth" was more selfless this time, pushing to the front court to Beasley who followed up in the middle.
Beasley picked up the ball and ignored Myers' misplaced defense and forced a layup. Myers drew Beasley down with a foul and made two free throws.
This goal shows that the Pacers bench has lost in a hurry. Myers wanted to put down Beasley, but there was a gap in the size of the two, Beasley just stumbled and stabilized his center of gravity, he would not fake a fall, otherwise the referee would award two free throws and one throw.
Beasley hit both free throws to drop the gap to 66 points, just one goal shy of the 68 points that the Cavaliers beat the Heat by the most exaggerated in history.
The Pacers didn't stall for time, Watson's three-point shot was missed, and there were only 8 seconds left, and it stands to reason that the rhythm of the game was over, but the Knicks fought back, and Butler hit the first three-pointer on the street, breaking the Cavaliers' record in one fell swoop.
147 to 78! The Knicks got off to a good start to the season with super high scores.
All 8 members of the team scored double-doubles, but Zhou Xuan was not included. Bredsoe had a team-high 28 points and six assists, while Beasley also had 26 points and six rebounds.
Kyle Anderson scored five points in his career debut, made a three-pointer, and had three rebounds and three assists.
Zhou Xuan didn't play in the second half, and the fans still sat at the end to watch the overall attack, and as soon as the game ended, the audience cheered together.
Su Qun sighed: "This is really a terrifying game, it's so exciting. Zhou Xuan is not there, and the offensive power of the Knicks bench is surprising. Beasley earned his money and he was very strong individually. ”
Yang Jian said with a smile: "Gordon and Bledsoe's double guards are not weak, they are fast and can shoot. Gordon's recovery from injury was a big surprise for the Knicks. ”
"The Pacers have to rebuild, and I think they can consider trading Hibbert out," Suqun said. Single-handedly against Aldridge, he didn't show any advantage. ”
The Pacers players were about to be beaten to tears. I don't know if Hibbert will have the energy to go to a nightclub to play threesome in the future, he looks like he's impotent......
