The Knicks host the San Antonio Spurs in this home game.

The overall style of the Spurs this season has changed a lot, from the previous positional battles to a more "run-and-shoot" style of play, and they have also blown a characteristic "fast play whirlwind" this season with this style of play.

No one could have imagined that three "creaking" classic cars could still have the energy of drag racing at this stage of their careers, and what is even more surprising is that they are really soaring!

25-4, this is the current record of the Spurs, after Yi Jianlian left the Milwaukee Bucks' tactics began to decline, they also became the team with the best record in the league with this record!

This is undoubtedly another surprising fact - the Spurs have been accustomed to "playing dead" in the regular season for so many years, and they actually didn't pretend this year!

It's just that the "classic car" that frightened the whole league failed to soar as before at the home court of the New York Knicks tonight, as soon as the game started, they were in a backward situation, in front of the New York Knicks who are also good at "running and shooting", and the players are younger and more athletic, the Spurs can not suppress the New York Knicks only by relying on smooth coordination, but because they wasted too much energy in the offensive and defensive transition, the Spurs gradually couldn't catch up with the speed of the New York Knicks in the second half of the first quarter.

There are two ways to restrain "running and bombing", one is positional warfare, and the other is to run faster than the opponent!

What the Knicks did today was to run faster than the Spurs, 32-28 in the first quarter, after a slight advantage, the second quarter was even more "unforgiving", completely mastering the entire rhythm of the game, by halftime, the difference had expanded to 8 points, nearly double-digit point difference.

However, it can be seen from the fact that the Spurs have been suppressed and have not collapsed, the Spurs' tactical literacy is definitely the highest team in the league, and it is precisely because their tactical literacy is better than most teams in the league that they still maintain a smooth cooperation in the process of transferring the ball at high speed, which is incomparable to other teams. The words "defensive counterattack" are vividly embodied.

To be more honest, the key to improving the speed of offensive and defensive conversion is the "counterattack" of "defensive counterattack", as long as the speed of counterattack can be improved, the speed of offensive and defensive conversion will not be slowed down!

The second half continued, and the Spurs, who were obviously tired from the Knicks' offensive rhythm in the first half, failed to show any signs of recovery after a 20-minute break at halftime, and were still led by the New York Knicks, although the Knicks failed to continue to expand the score in the third quarter, but the Spurs also failed to catch up with the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the difference was still 8 points.

The Spurs are not without a good job tonight, for example, their defense of Yi Jianlian tonight is particularly in place, the Spurs' defensive focus of the whole team today is on Yi Jianlian, and at the same time, on the defensive end, it is also concentrated on attacking Yi Jianlian's flank, Roger Mason's defensive ability is too far behind Courtney Lee, which makes Yi Jianlian have to be distracted by the defense of the wing, which consumes too much physical energy of Yi Jianlian.

And this is also the reason why Yi Jianlian did not have much of a bright performance on the offensive end tonight.

To say that Popovich is also really ruthless, Roger Mason was also a player who played from the Spurs back then, when Ginobili was seriously injured, thanks to his hard support for the Spurs' outside line, and also helped the Spurs kill several times, he was the "key man" of the Spurs in those years.

But tonight, Popovich grabbed the Spurs' "Mr. Key" and whipped it violently, and the whip hit Roger Mason in the deadliest place.

Popovich: I raised you with a handful of and urine, and I still don't know your shortcomings?

Roger Mason was burst into a sieve by the Spurs on the defensive end tonight, if it weren't for Yi Jianlian to fill him in the back, he felt like he would be sprayed directly to retire tonight!

The still eight-point difference also proves that the Spurs are effective against Yi Jianlian, at least relying on other players of the Knicks team can't knock them to death with a stick!

In the fourth quarter, both sides took the main force at the beginning, Popovich wanted to narrow the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter, D'Antoni thought about it like him, he wanted to further expand the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter, it was best to directly lay the victory, in short, they all wanted to make the other party uncomfortable!

Both sides have also entered into a fierce battle from the beginning, the score is constantly alternating and rising, it is worth mentioning that D'Antoni's "run and bomb" concept has obviously improved, unlike the previous two years in the Suns, now he is beginning to emphasize defense.

This is also the reason why he was able to succeed in the Rockets team later, "run and bomb" was synonymous with no defense a few years ago, but later, who would dare to say that the "run and bomb tactics" have no defense!

Yi Jianlian still focused most of his energy on defense in the fourth quarter.

However, without creating offensive opportunities for him, the Knicks' offense began to weaken, and the consecutive attacks of Smalls and Felton failed to score, and the Spurs took this opportunity to narrow the score gap to 2 points.

D'Antoni turned a blind eye to all this, and had no intention of changing the formation at all.

"Mike, are you sleepwalking? Can't you see that Yi Zheng is being sandwiched by three people? ”

"Mike, can you design two tactics for Yi, the guy who ranks first in the scoring list, can you pay attention to some?"

"Oh my God, even if I win this game, I'm going to feel bad, McDeantoni's command makes me feel like I'm watching a sleepwalking guy sleep on the sidelines, so I can be the head coach of the Knicks!"

The Knicks fans at the scene booed D'Antoni one after another, their city hero was being caught by 3 people on the court, but this guy actually hugged his chest with his hands, looking like he was in his chest!

I said, "Are you so blind?"

There are all kinds of commotion among the fans off the field, Yi Jianlian on the field is not waiting to be killed, he has never put his hope on the coach, Xiao K is not a guy with excellent on-the-spot adaptability, the original "three strong point tactics" are also the tactics he experimented after being caught one game after another, D'Antoni's on-the-spot adaptability is worse than Xiao K in his opinion, and he is expected to come up with a solution, I'm afraid I will have to wait until after more than a dozen games.

If you really wait for him, then Yi Jianlian won't want to eat any hot dishes.
