Many people are constantly criticizing Van Gundy's tactical layout ability, saying that his tactics are dull and inflexible, but many people ignore this problem, this is a coach of a perennial playoff team, and even went to the Finals, how can such a coach not have some means of his own?

After returning from the timeout, the Knicks returned to the court with Van Gundy's advice, and the offensive tactics of both sides were monotonous, but it is clear that the Knicks have more offensive options here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Pistons attacked, point guard Lynch Hunter firmly controlled the ball through the halfcourt, with his back to Ward, but he and Ward's bodies were actually half a pound, and the two were entangled on the outside, Lynch handed the ball to Don Reed, Red was only a starter in the Pistons, he adjusted the ball slightly from the middle, and handed it to Grant Hill, compared to the unruly Starkerhouse, Hill, who was a gentleman, undoubtedly won the trust of his teammates.

Hill got the ball, and at some point, Houston and Sprewell switched defenses, and Sprewell stepped forward to defend Hill.

Hill's start-up speed is one of the best in the league, and in the face of Sprewell's defense, he did not hesitate at all, and forced a breakthrough directly from the side.

Sprewell's prediction was a little inaccurate, he didn't find the right position, but he still didn't lose his defensive position, Hill was only half a position ahead, he didn't dare to break through again, and then he would be caught in an awkward position by Johnson and Moxi, and Hill directly stopped the jump shot.

Hill stopped suddenly, and the uninjured Hill's bounce power was not comparable to that of Sprewell, who threw the ball almost unguarded. But apparently the ball was played so suddenly that even he wasn't ready, and the ball hit the back edge and bounced out, and Mo Xi picked up the rebound.

The Knicks went on offense, the exact opposite of the Pistons' individual singles, and the Knicks moved the ball fluidly. Ward handed the ball to Johnson at the free-throw line, and he followed Johnson's cover to the inside. Johnson hoisted the ball to the low post Mo Xi, Mo Xi quickly handed the ball to Ward, who quickly distributed the ball to Sprewell on the outside, and Sprewell and Houston made a small blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, and then made a direct three-point shot.

The Knicks' offense was very fluid, but unfortunately, Sprewell's hand was not good, the ball bounced out, and the rebound was collected by the Pistons.

This time the Pistons' offense was more simple and direct, Hill cut directly into the inside, the Pistons point guard saw the opportunity and passed directly into the ground, Hill directly strengthened, and the person dodged a little in the air, although it didn't score, but it still caused a foul in Moxi.

Hill made both free throws.

Johnson patted Mo Xi on the shoulder and said, "Good job, don't let him score easily, I really can't send him to the free throw line." ”

Yes, Van Gundy's defensive strategy, which is also used by Thibodeau today, even if you go to the free throw line, it will not let you score in the athletic battle, although these two points seem to be simpler for the former, but undoubtedly, the latter is the way for you to open up the situation and get back to form, of course, a few people are not among them, such as the current Steve Smith, who averaged 11 free throws per game in a single season in the 94-95 season, and of course the current Beard Den.

The Knicks didn't stop because they were scored this time, and once again returned to Van Gundy's team offensive line, and this time the initiator of the offense turned into an interior pity.

Mo Xi received Ward's pass, looked left and right, did not choose to play the ball at the first time, but arched inward again, the space under the basket was compressed a little, Johnson quickly cut in, Mo Xi directly divided the ball horizontally, Johnson received the ball at the waist position, and then jumped directly, a false shot, the defender was shaken, Johnson shot, hit the shot, and the Knicks' small inside cooperation was successful.

The Pistons turned to attack, this time, they didn't ignore Stackhouse, of course, it may be that they have no other way, Hill received the ball and burst through half a step, passed diagonally to Christine, Christine gave Stackhouse, Stackhouse pulled out directly, and forced a shot against Houston's defense, in the eager eyes of everyone, Stackhouse finally hit, and the Pistons were not pulled too far.

The Knicks didn't give the Pistons the slightest respite and quickly attacked.

Mo Xi brought it up to Ward to block and dismantle, the two quickly dismantled, Mo Xi cut into the basket, Ward hoisted the ball to Mo Xi from above, because it was a high-altitude ball, so it was very slow, Mo Xi received the ball when there was already someone in front of him, but it was the Pistons' Lynch who made up for it.

Lynch's height is not even 1.9 meters, and the gap between him and Mo Xi is really big, Mo Xi didn't dare to put the ball down, just held the ball, directly pressed Lynch to force the basket, Lynch wanted to step forward to defend, but he was worried about fouls, after all, the height gap was a bit big, and Mo Xi easily completed a dunk.

The Pistons' offense fell into a strange situation at this time, constantly turning into Hill or Stackhouse's singles, but the offensive efficiency of these two is questionable, Hill was defended by Sprewell, miserable, Stackhouse was able to play Houston with his back like a fish in water, but he lacked the help of his teammates, and could only ensure that the Pistons could still score.

With more than four minutes left in the first quarter, both sides made substitutions, with the Pistons replacing Jerome Williams and Jude Bouille, and the Knicks replacing Charles and Camby to strengthen the interior defense and help defense.

The Knicks' substitutions did not reduce much of their offensive ability, and the Knicks' offense played more fiercely. Mo Xi suddenly turned to an inside single, and the Piston players were a little hesitant, because the Knicks had always been a team offense before, and rushing forward to pack the bag would only cause their own misposition.

Seeing that no one was helping to defend from the side, Mo Xi simply crashed directly into Christine, Christine was knocked into a stumbling one, Mo Xi turned around directly with his right foot as the axis, hooked his left hand, and scored easily.

Van Gundy added a new task to the timeout just now, and he also has to play his individual offensive ability while attacking as a team, and in the Knicks, the strongest individual offense is Sprewell and Moxi.

The Knicks' offense didn't stop there, in the next round of offense, Sprewell ate Hill alone and took advantage of Camby's cover to go straight to the basket, but Jerome Williams, known as the "garbage dog", shot out of the diagonal spur and interfered with Sprewell's layup.

Murphy and Christine struggled to grab the rebound, at which time Camby arrived from behind, jumped up and cushioned the ball, Murphy pushed Christine away, and flicked the ball outward, Camby jumped hard again and took the ball down. Camby was already away from the basket by this time and had to pass the ball out to reorganize.

After Charles received the ball, he slowly dribbled twice on the outside and handed it to Houston, who crossed with Sprewell to cover and ran out of a decent position, Houston did not choose to shoot, but handed the ball to Mo Xi, who was lifted to the horn position, and he immediately started to insert it into the basket along the baseline.

Houston's running involved a lot of the Pistons' defense, and Mo unfortunately didn't find a way to pass the ball, but found that Christine's defensive position was a little out. Mo Xi suddenly accelerated to break through, and after passing Christine, he squeezed his body, and Jerome Williams, who was covering the defense, shook between the two of them, and then turned around and made a layup under the basket.

Suddenly, the Knicks' bench was boiling, this is not a blood-pumping dunk, nor is it a chic three-point shot, but Moxi's flexible footsteps under the basket are really pleasing to the eye, light like a butterfly, just like the butterfly step of boxing champion Ali.

Mo Xi's performance against the Pistons inside is as impeccable as the Knicks' performance against the Pistons.

The Pistons completely collapsed in the first quarter, 29:18, not only did not defend the opponent, but also was defended by the opponent, only the two main scorers Hill and Stackhouse scored on their side, plus Lynch hit a shot, but the Knicks were full of flowers, the Knicks' team offense was perfectly played in the first quarter, and the Knicks' shooting rate was as high as 59%.

The Knicks broke down the Pistons' mental defense with a rampage in the first quarter.
