Tim Duncan jumped possession and the Spurs' first wave of offense began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the Spurs are a typical two-tower offensive team, and almost all offense revolves around the twin towers, either Robinson to the high post and Duncan in the low post, or Duncan to the high post and Robinson in the low post. But considering that Duncan is now young and strong, Popovich put Duncan more in the low post, and Robinson stepped up to respond.

The Spurs' first wave of offense showed their strong conviction. After Avery Johnson got the ball, he used Robinson to cover and go straight to the basket. Avery Johnson's quality as another Johnson player is unquestionable. Johnson was very fast, he had already come to the basket in a few steps, Dudley wanted to make up for the defense, but Duncan next to him was undoubtedly more threatening than Johnson, and for a while, Dudley was a little hesitant.

In the finals, hesitation means that you admit defeat. Larry Johnson is not such a person, it is the same Johnson, Larry Johnson bypassed Robinson, chased Avery Johnson straight after him, and chased after him from behind.

Avery Johnson seemed to feel someone coming up behind him, and without reckless shots, he lightly jumped his hand around Dudley and handed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan catches the ball, and Dudley is some distance away from Duncan due to some hesitation. Duncan didn't shoot immediately, first Dudley, squeezing out a space, then turned and stepped back, slightly leaning back, hitting the board and hitting.

Dudley was a little annoyed, but couldn't, and the Knicks quickly turned and attacked.

After Johnson's injury, the Knicks undoubtedly had one less point of attack, and the Knicks' offense was completely supported by two shots from the outside.

Ward dribbled across the half, Sprewell and Houston crossed runs, and Thomas stepped up to cover. At this time, the Spurs did not have Uncle Bao in charge, and under the interspersed of "madman" and "H2o", they soon became a little unbearable. Houston received the ball on the flank, pulled out his shot, made a textbook mid-range shot, and hit it steadily.

The Knicks' outside line has a big advantage over the Spurs, and this advantage is like the Spurs' twin towers against the Knicks' inside line.

The Spurs are attacking again, this time, still based on the twin towers.

Robinson holds the ball high and faces Johnson sideways. The two are equal in stature and strength, but Johnson is much shorter, but even so, Robinson does not dare to easily ignore Johnson and shoot directly on his head. Robinson took a look at the form on the court, suddenly turned his back to Johnson, blocking most of the latter's vision, and then handed the ball low to Avery Johnson.

Avery Johnson dribbles through again. While Avery Johnson seems to be the most active on the court at this time, in reality, he is just an arrow in the real Spurs' offensive routine, specializing in the inside and outside connections.

Ward's defense was excellent, and from start to finish, Johnson struggled to shoot and get the ball to Duncan.

At this time, Duncan suddenly moved and began to lift up, Dudley could not jam Duncan, Duncan moved freely to the high post of the box, and Avery Johnson was blank in front of him.

Seeing this, Dudley immediately made up the interior and sandwiched Avery Johnson with Ward.

Avery Johnson suddenly had a stroke of genius, a crotch back pass, and the ball went straight through Johnson and Ward's small door to Duncan.

Duncan bent down to pick up the ball and got up to shoot.

But this time it was not so easy, Larry Johnson ran tirelessly, and suddenly rushed to Duncan's side, Duncan still looked a little immature at this time, and he didn't expect that he was interfered with by Johnson and the ball bounced out.

Dudley took the rebound.

The initial confrontation was played by both sides, evenly matched. But Van Gundy also knows that the Knicks' first test is coming.

The Spurs dominate the offense with the twin towers as the core, and the Knicks are the two-gun from the outside. Both sides have some difficulty limiting the opponent's attack.

Soon, the game came to the first official timeout.

Larry Johnson was sweating profusely, biting his lip, took an ice pack from the staff and tied it directly to the injury, and the movements of his hands turned out to be a little twitching.

Seeing this, Van Gundy frowned, what was Johnson's situation, he knew it, and he had to give Johnson a strict rule on playing time. And if Johnson is off, then it doesn't make much sense to put a single Dudley on the court. Van Gundy made a substitution, and the Knicks twin towers came on.

To be honest, the current Knicks' lineup is a bit nondescript, and the rhythm is a little difficult to determine, but there are not many options for the Knicks, who are currently full of injured soldiers.

At 8 minutes and 47 seconds into the first quarter, the Knicks Twin Towers came on the court to face off against the Spurs Twin Towers, and the key position matchup in the Finals began.

The ball is in the hands of the Spurs.

Avery Johnson possessed the ball across half court. The Knicks twin towers were full of energy and positivity, and the two were tightly attached to their defenders, but what Van Gundy didn't expect was that the gap between the two sides seemed to be wide.

Almost every big four center has a sculptural muscle, and David Robinson, nicknamed "The Admiral," is no exception. Facing Camby, who defended himself, Robinson decided to teach the youngster a lesson.

Robinson received the ball in the high post, and what Camby didn't expect was that Robinson's attack this time was very fierce and decisive. After receiving the ball, Robinson swung his elbow, turned around and squeezed away Camby, and the huge force forced Camby to take a step, Robinson dribbled directly and broke through, and hit the inside line in one step.

Mo Xi hurriedly filled the position.

However, Robinson doesn't seem to have taken ink into his eyes. Although Mo Xi's body at this time is no longer as weak as when he first entered the alliance, there is still a huge gap in the face of Robinson, who can fit two of himself.

Mo Xi leaned up to meet Robinson and raised his hands high.

Robinson ignored the ball and raised the ball high, and then, with a penny on it, made a foul.

With this goal, the Knicks twin towers were completely blown up.

Knicks possession.

With the Knicks' outside pair still on the court, Mo Xi has few scoring opportunities. Mo Xi pulled to a high position to make a wall, and Camby was ambushed at the bottom line. Sprewell ran from the bottom corner, rounded Camby and pocketed the ball from Murphy's side. But Sprewell wasn't in a good position at this time, and he was in Duncan's defensive zone.

"Madman" also has a time of intimidation, in the shadow of Duncan, Sprewell did not dare to be presumptuous, and passed the ball to Houston, Houston dribbled a step, and then made a sharp stop, shook his body, avoided the defender, and stepped back to shoot. But Houston's hand didn't seem to be too good, and the ball bounced off the basket. Duncan took the rebound.

Once again, the pressure is on the Knicks' side of the Twin Towers.

This time, though, Lady Luck seems to favor the Knicks.

Robinson holds the ball high and passes inside to Duncan in the low post. Duncan's nickname in college was "The Flying Devil of Wake Forest", and his excellent physical fitness can be seen. Duncan leaned against Moxi. Mo Xi couldn't move, so he had to raise his hands high and use his chest to resist the other party.

Duncan topped it, then skillfully turned sideways, stepped back and shot, Mo Xi watched the ball fly over his head in vain, fortunately, the ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced out, Mo Xi just took the rebound.

The Knicks counterattacked, the ball went to the frontcourt, three outside players lined up outside the three-point line, Ward held the ball and first handed the ball to Sprewell on the right, who made a small cooperation with Ward, went around a little, and passed the ball back to Ward, who quickly hoisted the ball into the hands of the inside moxie.

Mo Xi leaned on Duncan, did not make a quick move, turned his head to observe the situation on the court, and saw Sprewell cut in quickly, attracting the attention of the Spurs wing players.

Murphy quickly played the ball to Houston above, at which point the opposing defender was led by Sprewell to take a step towards the halfway line, and Houston had an excellent shot and Houston hit it safely.

The Knicks' performance in the first quarter was still slightly better than the Spurs.

Although the combination of Murphy and Camby was a bit scrambled against the Spurs' twin towers Robinson and Duncan, the good news was that the Knicks were on fire from the outside, and the Spurs couldn't limit them.

At the end of the first quarter, it was the Knicks who took the lead with the sharpness they had when they first came on the court. The Knicks led the Spurs 27-21.
