Anthony didn't miss the penalty opportunity, and while the Pacers fans in the stands did their best to interfere with him, they didn't matter much in front of the well-informed Anthony.

3-0, the Knicks got off to the start they wanted. Spike. Lee triumphant, with Anthony's form today, it is not a problem for the Knicks to win the game at all. Not to mention, New York's best sixth man. Smith, it's not there yet.

"David. West picked up a foul as soon as he came up, and he would definitely be a key target for the Knicks. It has to be said that Anthony was very active today, let's see how the defending champions will react to that! ”

Compared to last season, the Pacers' roster hasn't changed much. On the contrary, the Knicks have brought in a lot of newcomers.

That said, Henson doesn't see himself as having changed less than the Knicks. One of the most crucial changes is that last season's Pacers' leading scorer was not Paul. George!

This time, Kidd defended Paul very tightly. Although he is nearly forty years old, Kidd's physical condition is very good. Moreover, Kidd has always been a player who relies on his brain to defend, and his tall and strong body is only a support. And a professional player's brain is the opposite of the body, the older the better.

Therefore, Henson is not going to let Paul go to the main attack today. First, Paul is not a shooting guard himself, and second, Henson is still afraid of Kidd's defensive ability. So as soon as Paul stepped on the three-point line, he followed the pre-game instructions and passed the ball to the left side of the court. Over there, Paul. George is in place!

It's true that the Pacers lineup hasn't changed much this season. But now Paul. George, it's not the Paul of last season. George! He's no different from a new player!

Defending Paul. George's man is not Raymond. Felton, Felton's defense of the No. 1 position is okay, but if he is asked to defend George, who is 2.06 meters, it is tantamount to suicide. So, on the defensive end, Mike. Woodson gave the task of defending George to the team's second-year guard, Iman Brown. Shambaugh.

In fact, Paul. George's point is a big headache for most teams' defenses. Because in this era when the lineup is getting smaller and smaller, George, a 2.06 meter player, plays the second position, but most teams can't find a player who can match it.

The same goes for the Knicks, Anthony plays the No. 4 position and can't defend it. And Iman. Although Shambaugh is the number three in this lineup, he is also a full ten centimeters shorter than George! Faced with this absolute height advantage, George didn't waste it. He caught the ball and caught Shambaugh off guard. Although Shambaugh's defense is also relatively good, he is still a little less ruthless in the face of George, who has a strong desire to attack.

You know, from the time I learned that I was selected to the All-Star team to the games before the All-Star Game began, George played an average of 30 points per game!

Bursting into the paint area, George leaps high and tosses his wrist softly. Shambaugh's shot at George was out of reach, and Anthony pounced, but was still a step too slow. Anthony's supplemental defense is better not to expect.

"Brush!" The sound of the Nets was originally very beautiful, but it made Spike . Lee was worried. In the past, the games between the Knicks and the Pacers were basically Anthony's individual offensive show. Regardless of whether the Knicks win in the end, Anthony's offense is sure to be very explosive.

But now, things have changed. The Pacers, too, have their offensive nuclear weapons!

"Beautiful singles, there is nothing that can be done with George by Champot! As we all know, George was also selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star team this year, and he is a real All-Star guard! The Knicks' defense needs to be a snack on George! ”

Reggie. Miller's advice is very pertinent, but it's a pity that Mike. Woodson couldn't hear. But because of this, the Knicks will gradually pay the price!

After the Knicks attacked, Anthony still played the role of his offensive kaleidoscope. This time, the "social melon" directly hit West! As a player born in the No. 3 position, Anthony is not afraid to challenge David with his back to the single. West, this pure number four.

Stretching the space, topping, shaking shoulders, turning over, and jumping, Anthony's movements are still fluid, and his skills are worthy of the top scoring list this season. West tried his best to interfere, but the basketball still grazed his fingertips and fell backwards. On Cameron. Anthony, West doesn't even have the slightest advantage!

That's why the Knicks have been so successful this season, and Anthony's maturity has made him an invincible killer on the offensive end!

After the goal, Anthony still glanced at his good brother Paul. He is well aware that you don't have to give Paul face on the basketball court, because in turn Paul won't give you face.

"You shouldn't say that when you're the All-Star MVP, Chris." As he passed by Paul, Anthony couldn't help but complain.

But Paul didn't take care of his good brother and took the ball on his own. At first, Anthony thought Paul was deliberately avoiding himself. But he later learned that there was actually another reason for Paul's coldness.

The Knicks' defensive thinking is very clear, and they are still focused on containing Paul and the interior offense. Due to Anthony's play in the No. 4 position, Mike. Woodson speculated that the Pacers would often put the ball into interior singles. How the Heat were killed by West and Horford last time, Mike. Woodson hasn't forgotten. As a result, he asked Chandler and Anthony to give West and Horford a strong confrontation in defense and not let them catch the ball easily.

Limit Paul without allowing the inside to catch the ball easily. Woodson believes that will be enough to contain the defending champions' firepower.

But Woodson made a fatal mistake by underestimating Paul. George's attack power.

For the second time in a row, Anthony scored singles. And Paul also sent it to George for the second time in a row!

Anthony waited and tried to push West out. "The King of Fighters" Tyson also tensed his nerves and kept an eye on Horford's movements. However, no one expected that Paul. George broke through with the ball again!

He borrowed Horford's cover to get rid of Shambaugh, and when he saw Chandler shrinking in the penalty area, George didn't think about it, and as soon as he got rid of it, he made a quick stop jump shot!

Shambaugh tried to stretch his arms to cover him after bypassing Horford, but George, who jumped with all his might, Shambaugh couldn't reach it. It can be seen that the Knicks are always caught off guard by George's attacks.

Mike. Woodson's idea is simple, Henson is not the kind of coach who supports players with the ball in their hands, he emphasizes team basketball. This is not difficult to see from the Pacers' very average scoring data.

So, as long as the Pacers' passing doesn't work, their offense will be ineffective. Hence the single defense against the Pacers players, Mike. Woodson didn't do much.

Unfortunately, however, Mike. Woodson was clever but was mistaken by cleverness. Henson really focused his offense on Paul today. On George!

Let the Knicks also taste what it's like to be beaten by a single and lose your temper!

George's emergency stop shot is stable and steady, and now George's offensive level can be said to be 360 degrees without dead ends. Although the dribble is still a little close, it can still be used.

From the moment Henson hugged George and proudly said to him, "You're already an All-Star," Henson knew that George had grown into what he imagined him to be.

"This ...... What a precise shot! Paul. George had to eat and drink on Shambaugh's head. Van Gundy opened his mouth wide and sighed for a long time.

In the past, George was occasionally able to score high. But now George, he seems to be sure to cut twenty or thirty points in every game!

Anthony shook his head, he finally knew why Paul had ignored him today.

It's not because Paul doesn't want to provoke himself, or because he's hiding from himself. It's because

Anthony's opponent today is Paul. George, not Chris. Paul!

After the first quarter, the game was watched by Spike. Lee's heart went up and down like a roller coaster.

Over there, Anthony had just scored with a difficult shot. Spike. Lee hasn't had time to rejoice yet, Paul. George will respond with a goal of equal difficulty! Spike. Li will also be immediately poured a basin of cold water because of this.

Anthony is in excellent form, Mike. Woodson's set-up also didn't allow the Pacers to play their hearty team offense. In normal times, the Knicks would have been in control. However, today, they couldn't even hold on to a two-point advantage!

The whole game seemed to turn into a solo show by Anthony and George. Until the rotation time arrived, the score of the two teams was still tied. Anthony scored nine points in a single quarter, as gorgeous as ever. But George is not to be outdone, with 7 points in a single quarter, his brave singles are not inferior to Anthony!

"Ahh What a pity! What a pity! Seeing George and Anthony off the court, Van Gundy couldn't help but shout, "It's rare to see two scorers playing back and forth on the court, I didn't expect the coaches on both sides to replace them so early." ”

Lo and behold, even Jeff, who has always been obsessed with defense. Van Gundy was impressed by the battle between the two.

"Looks like George is in high spirits today." At the end of the timeout, when Henson walked back to the bench, Vogel commented on George's performance.

He didn't expect that guy to be able to fight with Anthony in a single!

Henson smiled and glanced at Spike, who was next door with black lines on his face. Li: "Of course, I've been waiting for him to become what he is now, and I've been waiting for him to become what he is now. ”

The aggressive Anthony didn't give the Knicks a half-point advantage, and Henson's move wasn't quite at all. Letting George go solo is just the first step, and when the steps are done, he will have a biographical documentary.

Therefore, it is really not difficult to defeat the New York Knicks.
