The Knicks will sit on the bench, bow their heads and say nothing, everyone is sweating profusely, but how much of this is due to physical fatigue and how much is due to mental fatigue is unknown. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It sounds like a dream to fall behind two sentences and then win four games in a row, but it's really stressful to fall on the players, not to mention that the Knicks' big man is injured now.

It's just that this is New York, even if you count the horror home stadium like Salt Lake City, here, especially in the playoffs, is very unfriendly to the teams that come to attack, and for their own teams, they are naturally loved in every way.

In the second quarter, the Knicks began to find their senses and were about to get up.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks' lineup on the court was the same as in the previous games, not that Van Gundy's tactical adaptability was not good, but the current Knicks have only a few people who can play the rotation lineup.

Murphy and Camby formed an interior line, with Johnson at small forward, Sprewell at point guard, Houston off for a break, and Charles replacing Ward.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was the Knicks' possession of the ball, and the Knicks began to attack.

Sprewell had a good hand in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, Van Gundy planned to let Sprewell try a few shots first.

Johnson came to the free throw line near the free throw line to block Sprewell, after Sprewell received Charles's pass, he directly used Johnson's block to break through to the inside, after the two separated, Johnson did not pull out of the three-point line as usual, because now it is Austin Klohill who is coming to the third position, although Closhier's defense is not good, and his footwork is slow, but after all, he still has an advantage in height and is a serious forward, Johnson is not sure that he has made achievements on the outside under his interference.

Sprewell and Johnson marched to the basket together, and it seemed that they were going hand in hand, and they looked aggressive, but the Pacers were not worried about whether the interior line would be impacted.

Because the Knicks are too serious on the inside, at this time there are still two people on the inside, although they saw Sprewell and Johnson begin to impact the basket, Mo Xi and Camby have already pulled out of the basket three seconds early and conceded the restricted area to the two, but in the end the action is a little slow, and the Pacers' two interior lines are also waiting inside, and the whole basket is almost a crowded state.

The Pacers' backup point guard is a short black man, fast, and his ability to close to the ball is also very prominent, and Sprewell did not dare to rashly pass the ball to the outside, so he had to take advantage of the situation to give the ball to Camby, who pulled out the space.

Camby really stared at the ball when he received it, he looked at the ball, then at the frame, and then at Spreville, brother, don't you give it to me and I still want to exchange it for you!

Sprewell circled Camby, cut through the baseline, took Camby's pass with his hand, and shot directly at the baseline.

Fortunately, Spreville's hand felt really good, and he hit the frame directly.

As it stands, the Knicks' offense is no longer a problem, but the key to the problem is how to defend, or to put it bluntly, how to defend Miller.

Sprewell's defensive ability is indeed good, but this kind of good is aimed at defensive breakthroughs, the scoring guards in the 90s are based on Joe's gang leader, defensive breakthroughs and pull-up jump shots, in the face of these pure shooters, although they are also involved, but when they meet Reggie Miller who relies on unpredictable running three-point shooters, it is a little scratching.

Miller uses interior cover to go straight to the basket from one wing and then pocket out to the other wing, and the Pacers' interior options all have the same characteristic, which is wide enough to provide good quality coverage.

After being blocked by the opponent, it is difficult for Sprewell to rush out to defend Miller from the inside, and he can only rely on the complement of his teammates, but the Knicks' two interior lines, Mo Xi and Camby, compared to other interior lines, the movement speed of the two of them is already very fast, but Miller's running evaluation does not just rely on speed to get rid of others, otherwise there are too many people in the real league who can keep up with him. (Speaking of which, there were many people who said that Curry was a liar, because Curry's physical fitness was too good, and it was not a model of hard work and hard work to become a romantic person, although there was a king of hard work on his head, but Miller's physical condition was really bad, not to mention that he was really thin, he didn't jump high, he was born with a disease on his legs, and his strength was insufficient, but at a critical moment he was able to dunk three people, which was really incredible, and it could only be attributed to the efforts of the day after tomorrow)

The Knicks' interior line can't be defended, so they can only have other people on the outside to make up for it, Charles immediately rushed over to defend, but Miller's shooting speed is the fastest in the league, receiving the ball and shooting almost in one go, leaving no chance for Charles, when Charles landed, the ball had already scored.

After one round, the Knicks fell behind by one point, but the Knicks could only chase it like this.

And, soon, the Knicks also did more flowering, at least without Sprewell carrying the team forward alone.

Because of Schmitz's downfall, the Knicks' interior pressure is not so great, and Mo Xi has gradually found his own firing rhythm.

Mo Xi and Sprewell blocked and dismantled, Sprewell walked directly to the baseline after dismantling, Mo Xi took a slight step forward, stuck in a very comfortable offensive position, and could go directly to the basket and retreat to shoot from mid-range.

Sprewell's side attracted the attention of the Pacers, and when he saw that Mo Xi had found a good position, he did not hesitate and handed the ball directly to Mo Xi's hands.

Mo Xi holds the ball, facing Davis, there is no pressure on this muscle mallet Mo Xi at all, as long as he plays normally, scoring in his hands is still a very easy job.

Mo Xi first retracted his outstretched left foot behind him, put his weight on his left foot, and made a backward appearance.

Davis knew that Mo Xi was likely to be a feint, so he cautiously stepped forward half a step and stuck between Mo Xi's left foot, trying to block the opponent's breakthrough route.

But now Mo Xi is becoming more and more comfortable in the way of attacking, and his movements rarely drag the mud and water, and he often completes a wave of attacks in an instant, or throws or passes, and the movements are very fast.

Mo Xi suddenly lightly touched his right foot, crossed the step, and planned to break through from the left, Davis's reaction was a little slower, and he did not block it at the first time, but Mo Xi chose the left, which is where Spreville is located, where the Pacers are heavily defended, just when people thought that Mo Xi was dizzy for a while and broke into the hinterland of the enemy army, Mo Xi suddenly turned around again, and turned to the basket close to Davis, and at the same time threw the ball up and hit a layup with a low hand.

The Knicks seem to have a tendency to gradually regain their disadvantage, because like Sprewell, Miller has only one, although relying on three-point shooting, Miller's advantage may be greater, but it is also limited, and among the people on the court at present, even Jalen Rose is difficult to give Miller a lot of support on the offensive end.

At this time, both Van Gundy and Larry Bird can see that the final winner of this game depends on the two hot outside players today, but it also depends on which side of the role player can step up and explode today.

Larry Bird thinks more specifically, the situation on the field is obvious, the outside line is open, as long as the inside line is also open, then the next thing is to see how Schmitz and the Oriental kid compete.
