DeJuan Blair is a good meat shield, but he also has a fatal flaw, that is, his height and reach, Blair in his early two meters weighs 118 kilograms, if he is more than a card position, many interior lines may not be able to grab him.
But to deal with this kind of "little fat man", Lin Yi has the most experience!
That is, don't go to a war of attrition with him, and directly crush him with talent.
Popovich also found out that Lin Yi took the rush to grab instead of the card position grab, this girl is bullying the Spurs There is no one inside!
Fortunately, the No. 21 rookie can still snatch back a few backcourt rebounds for the Spurs, otherwise the Spurs would probably not even have half of the Knicks in the third quarter with just one rebounding statistic.
The one who gets the rebound wins the world, this sentence is not nonsense.
However, Popovich also noticed that the HP of "Stone Buddha" has been declining.
No matter how iron Duncan is, it is impossible not to be tired!
In the first half today, he and Lin Yi were in the opposite position, and many balls Lin Yi was deliberately consuming Duncan, because while you were consuming me, I was also consuming you!
Why not use this kind of shooting in the first half? In addition to the Knicks' reluctance to bet early, there is a more important reason that Duncan, who is physically healthy, can guarantee backcourt rebounds for the Spurs.
But in the second half of the game, as Duncan's fitness declined, the Spurs lineup was not high enough, and after the Knicks turned on the shooting strategy, Popovich had to switch back to the regular starter.
However, Duncan's declining fitness is no longer an indisputable fact.
What's even worse is that the Spurs in this period don't even have a Split inside, and they still have two veterans on the bench, McDice and Laflett, but unless it is absolutely necessary, Popovich will never dare to use these two, otherwise it will be equivalent to giving Lin Yi points.
What made Popovich even more depressed was that after the Knicks' main attack point in the second half, Louis Williams, after the first few iron strikes, his confidence was greatly increased, and he really found his hand against the sky!
Fast break three-point, ultra-long three-point after blocking, and anti-sky pull after breaking in...... With the last 6 minutes of the third quarter, Lowe led the Knicks to a 13-2 offensive wave, rewriting the score to 70-81 in one fell swoop! The home team Knicks are behind.
Is this the so-called house leak happening to rain overnight?
Popovich is not calm.
Popovich admits that he is still a little too confident, and if he is wrong, Popovich will not be a headshot, and he also knows that this Spurs team has some flaws in the lineup, the outside lacks a really good defensive 3D, and the inside line has no big man who can stand up except for Duncan.
But how did the Knicks know so much about the Spurs?
Is it because of D'Antoni?
Popovich thinks it must be so, circle you a fork, as for it? Didn't you just knock out your Suns three times in the playoffs?
Generally speaking, unless it is a championship team, it is impossible for Eastern Conference teams to dissect Spurs' tactics and lineups specifically for a regular season game.
Because that's a waste of time, it's very simple, the Knicks and Spurs can meet at most twice a season!
But tonight's Knicks, in Popovich's eyes, simply played this game as a Finals!
The Spurs' personnel flaws, tactical shortcomings, etc., were all exploited by the Knicks, which ...... If it's not now in New York, Popovich absolutely doubts that the Spurs' opponent tonight will be the Lakers and not the Knicks.
What a hatred this must be!
Popovich decided to add a grudge label to D'Antoni when he went back, and he also decided to let his children check by the way when he went back, whether D'Antoni was a Scorpio or not?
Such a grudge?
In fact, Popovich didn't know that when the Knicks opened the score, D'Antoni was also very confused.
Before each game, D'Antoni and his assistants will analyze the Knicks' next opponent, but you must know that this analysis is actually of a certain speculative nature, and there will definitely be some deviations in the actual game.
For the Spurs, of course, D'Antoni knows a lot, but the Spurs' lineup is also changing every year, so more, D'Antoni understands the GDP of the Spurs, which is the core composition of their lineup.
But tonight, the few suggestions Lin Yi gave were simply divine prophecies......
"Tang, I remember that Lin also likes to study the opponent's game video, right?" D'Antoni asked, looking at his third assistant coach, Donaldson.
"Yes, he has that habit." Donaldson said.
D'Antoni suddenly had some doubts about life, could it be that this kid's basketball IQ has reached such a high level?
It's a pity that Lin Yi doesn't know D'Antoni's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely tell D'Antoni that if you are a cross-traveler, and you are still a senior prickly honey, combined with your understanding of basketball, you will definitely be able to do it.
That's right, Lin Yi is not only a honey, but also a prickly honey.
The Spurs in the 09/10 season had great flaws in the lineup, including the 11/12 season when they were overwhelmed by the Thunder's use of talent, and it was also because they had an unreasonable roster composition.
This is also why Lin Yi has the confidence to say that if he plays seven games, he thinks the Knicks can't win, but if he plays one, the Knicks have a great chance of winning.
Because Popovich's understanding of tactics must be above Lin Yi, playing a series of games, even if Lin Yi understands the Spurs again, it will be difficult to beat the Spurs with the current Knicks lineup.
But what if it's just one game?
As long as Lin Yi wakes up D'Anthony, the Knicks can definitely make a wave of Spurs.
To put it bluntly, Lin Yi is in the dark, and the spurs are in the light!
At the end of the third quarter, the score stayed at 72-83, and the Knicks led by 11 points into the fourth quarter.
……
In the cheers of the Knicks fans, on the Knicks' bench, Lin Yi took the initiative to ask him to rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Today's ball Lin Yi also played with his life.
At this time, he gasped and recovered his blood bar, and Lin Yi also fully showed his potential in the penalty area defense in this game.
D'Antoni thinks Lin Yi is simply superhuman.
What else could he not do?
You want him to be the core, and he can be.
If you want him to be a coolie, he can do it.
In the third quarter of the game alone, Lin Yi grabbed 8 rebounds, 6 of which were frontcourt rebounds! It's simply the best response to Lin Hei saying that he won't grab the frontcourt board!
For the sake of victory, Lin Yi can also sacrifice everything.
Chic and elegant style of play?
Don't make a fuss, this is the NBA, there is no fixed style of play, some just adjust themselves in time according to the opponent.
Train hard every day, study the opponent constantly in every game, use your various advantages, in order to win, there is nothing Lin Yi can't do.
"Get ready, I think the Spurs are going to make their last move." Before the start of the fourth quarter, Lin Yi told his teammates who were about to play.
D'Antoni was pleased.
Because Lao De also knows that the Spurs have a final trick!
"Don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged in defeat...... The lead is unmoved, what kind of monster am I coaching? D'Antoni sneered.
