"The Argentine has a hard time on his feet, and we'll help you with that." Before the start of the game, Wu Huang whispered, directly blocking the way for Xiao Si to find help from his teammates.

"Don't worry, I can handle him alone." Xiao Si doesn't have as much thought as Wu Huang, of course he won't let his outside teammates help him wrap up Scola, if the person he has to deal with today is Duncan, Xiao Si will naturally not be embarrassed, but a Scola needs teammates to help defend, and he can't afford to lose that person.

The Knicks' start today was the same as fans expected: Wu Huang, Iguodala, Gallinari, Stoudemire, O'Neal.

But this is not the ideal lineup in D'Antoni's mind, neither is Monroe, he even thinks it should be better to let Xiaosi play center and Frye to be a power forward, in short, there should not be any slow-moving centers in his lineup, preferably two big forwards around 208cm, or a high-mobility combination like Chandler + Xiaosi.

Rockets starters: Xiaobu, Martin, Battier, Scola, Yao Ming.

The Houstonians are significantly inferior to the Knicks in terms of starting luxury, and they are all inferior except for Yao Ming.

So in the eyes of fans and the media, it is really unreasonable for the Knicks not to win.

In this game in China, the commentary is naturally the golden pair of Master Sun and Master Reason, although they are complained by fans every day, but topicality is also a magic weapon to improve ratings.

Master Reasonable first criticized the Rockets: "Everyone knows that Yao Ming weighed 132 kilograms when he first entered the NBA, and later increased his weight to more than 142 kilograms under Van Gundy's tutelage. In a sense, for every kilogram of Yao Ming's weight, his injury risk will increase. Later, Adelman took office, during which time some people slammed Ah Shuai for using Yao Ming excessively. It's a pity that it's too late to protect Yao Ming, his body has collapsed, and after being reimbursed last season, Yao Ming hasn't played an official NBA game from May 09 to now. ”

Master Sun pointed out the incompetence of the Rocket team doctor: "Yao Ming is difficult to fully recover after every operation, and the rocket team doctor has an unshirkable responsibility. Cranton, who operated on Yao Ming, has become a well-known quack doctor, and he once misdiagnosed Maddie's injuries. In '09, Yao Ming was injured in the Western Conference semifinals against the Lakers, and the team doctor initially diagnosed that he only needed a few weeks of rest, but after the summer, he decided to have surgery, which led to Yao Ming's season reimbursement. ”

These accusations and criticisms are not entirely unreasonable, but if the blame is blamed on the Rockets' overuse of Yao Ming and the doctor's failed surgery, it does not seem to be the work of the big man.

First of all, any surgery is risky, not to mention Yao Ming's recurrent injury, no matter how good the doctor is, he can't guarantee that his surgery can meet expectations. Yao Ming's real problem is that he is scarred by overwork, and the Rockets management is responsible, but they are paid, and the abuse of the Chinese Basketball Association is the real culprit behind the scenes.

Of course, these two masters didn't dare to tell the truth, and Yao Ming himself couldn't say it, but the fans didn't care so much, and the two masters were soon sprayed with dog blood by the angry fans.

The game had already started on the field, and Stoudemire was in charge of jumping the ball for the team, comfortably beating Yao Ming, who had more injuries than him.

Yao Ming didn't jump much with Ben, his current physical condition is not very good, this game is his first return to the NBA after an injury in 09, Adelman will not let him play for too long, this game is for the little giant to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

Wu Huang received the basketball and immediately accelerated to the frontcourt.

He is the opposite of Yao Ming, after a summer of training, his physical condition has reached the highest point ever, and it can be said that his whole body is full of inexhaustible strength, just waiting for him to sway on the court.

Master Reason immediately commented: "Wu Huang's figure looks much stronger than last season, look at the muscle mass and lines, but we can't see the clumsiness in his movements at all, his movements are faster." ”

Xiao Bu felt the same way in his heart, Wu Huang was able to suppress him with his body last season, not to mention now, he didn't think he could resist Wu Huang's breakthrough, and he had little confidence in a face.

Wu Huang glanced at Xiao Bu, and wanted to try how much his breakthrough ability had improved, and there were no superfluous movements, Wu Huang learned from Rose to make a fake move casually, and broke through to the basket with his legs.

Xiaobu immediately moved his feet, but just after a stride, Wu Huang had already dribbled and rushed over, and as soon as the two made contact, in fact, he had already committed a foul at this time, but the referee saw that it was poor Xiaobu who flew out, so he didn't blow the foul again.

Wu Huang passed Xiao Bu and rushed straight to the basket, Yao Ming's defensive ability has not been good, Wu Huang could have smashed Huanglong to perform a dunk, but he passed the ball to Xiao Si.

This bastard is scheming again, everyone knows that he accounts for eighty percent of the credit for this goal, and passing it can make him appear more selfless, and it can also make fans preconceived that he is out of good intentions to help Xiao Si integrate into the team.

Xiao Si easily jumped up and dunked the ball after receiving the basketball, but the applause was all given to Wu Huang, including the fans who watched the game in the United States.

"Well done!" Emperor Wu stepped forward and slapped Xiao Si with a palm.

Xiao Si is also very happy, how can he know Wu Huang's scheming and small actions, during this time his impression of Wu Huang is very good, Wu Huang gave him face at the same time, and kept pulling him to train and improve the requirements of the defensive end, and he also tried his best to cooperate in the new environment.

Many fans are worried that Smalls will be the team's big colander on the defensive end, but in reality, his defense is largely a matter of attitude, and if Smalls wants to, he can do the league's average level of defense, and that's enough.

The Rockets attacked for the first time, and the basketball was naturally handed over to the host Yao Ming, and O'Neal defended the old opponent one-on-one.

Yao Ming squeezed two steps back with his back, half-turned and shook after a skillful reverse turning action, seeing that he had not shaken the experienced O'Neal, Yao Ming quickly pulled back and threw the ball directly with a hook......

"Huh!" Basketball hollow into the net.

Yao Ming's footsteps may not be as gorgeous as Scola's, but his low-post movements can be done in one go, and his turning movements can also be called upward and smooth, which is much better than Howard, especially the accuracy of the final shot is incomparable to Howard.

O'Neal has always struggled with Yao Ming's hook shots near the box line and even further away, and he has good hook shots himself, but most of them are in areas very close to the basket, and when he gets to the box line, his shooting percentage is not high. And Yao Ming's hook hand is very far away, sometimes even near the free throw line, and at the same time, Yao Ming's mid-range shot is much more accurate than O'Neal's in these positions, which are the capital of Yao Ming's life in the NBA.

Many fans believe that this is a proof that O'Neal is not diligent enough, he can practice long enough range, but it takes too much time and sweat, and the big shark at his peak can completely press the opposing center to play his small hook under the basket, so why run to long-range shooting? That's the excuse he gave himself for being lazy.

In the training in September, O'Neill let Wu Huang see his laziness, except for the first day of training, he was the last to come to the stadium to train. And during the training process, this fat shark is also openly lazy, he will often pretend to be a member of the coaching staff to coach the interior players, so that no one can say anything about him. Besides, people just symbolically get a veteran basic salary contract, and no one can control him at all.

Wu Huang's second offense took basketball to the low post, and now the team includes veteran former Hall of Fame superstars, stars like Xiao Si and Yi Ge who are in their prime, and young players like Monroe and Gallinari who need to be fed with experience...... He, the point guard, can no longer dominate the ball like last season, so he will work hard in the summer to improve his offensive success rate and increase his scoring efficiency, otherwise his statistics will be difficult to increase in the new season.

Although O'Neill is lazy in training, but there are enough reasons for him, the 38-year-old really has nothing to improve, and he is prone to injury if he practices too much.

Yao Ming didn't dare to go all out against O'Neal, this was his first high-intensity match after a year of serious injury, and he had to take it easy.

O'Neal easily squeezed under the basket and turned around to score a shot with his close-range hook, which was considered not to have lost face in front of people.

"Little Hugo, this ball is well passed!" O'Neill faced Wu Huang, who was much younger than James, and was stunned to add a "small" word in front of the other party's name.

Of course, Wu Huang doesn't care about this kind of trivial matter, he thinks that it is definitely a good thing that the team has such a tall and fat guy under the basket, he is completely different from James, unless it is necessary for him to attack under the basket, he still prefers to shoot in the middle and long distance, at this time there are two big men O'Neal and Xiao Si standing under the basket, I believe that the deterrent to the enemy is absolutely extraordinary, and the defensive pressure he bears outside will be much less.

O'Neal gets along very well with Wu Huang, and that's why, he can now stay around the penalty line without having to pay attention to whether he is blocking James' breakthrough route. Even now, O'Neill feels like a joke, and five years ago, how could it be that he blocked someone else's breakthrough route?

But just last season, he became a behind-the-back figure with the Cavaliers, and was ridiculed by countless fans that he should retire early. The dead fat man felt that he was so angry that now that he came to the Knicks, he had to bombard the Cavaliers and James, who had left the Cavaliers, every once in a while, which shows how big this resentment is.

The two teams played a little more seriously after the opening of the game, but the preseason will not turn into a playoffs all of a sudden, and the atmosphere of entertainment soon became thicker, O'Neal and Yao Ming did not defend seriously, and Xiao Si did not want to put more effort into defense in the preseason, and this game quickly evolved into a completely defenseless offensive battle, which was a bit of an All-Star game.

At 7:49 in the first quarter, O'Neal also performed a three-point shot before going off the court, which seemed a bit too relaxed, and the dead fat man really played this game as an All-Star Game.

"By the way, didn't this guy come to the Knicks because he didn't make it to the All-Star last year, right?" Wu Huang suddenly had an idea in his heart, this dead fat man came to hug his thighs, the purpose may not be the championship, but it is not to enter the All-Star again, because as long as he is on the same team with himself, this is a sure thing.

The current O'Neal is a fake starter in the Knicks' lineup, and D'Antoni was reluctant to use him when he was in the Suns, and this fat man will slow down the team's offensive rhythm by several notches, so the mustache's plan is to let him play 15 to 20 minutes per game, and only when he encounters a team that is good at low post offense will he give the Sharks a little more time.

Wu Huang played until 4 minutes left in the first quarter, he looked relaxed on the court, Monroe came up and he fed the new brother a few more times, but the effect was very bad, Hayes squeezed Monroe out of the box with his height of less than two meters, which made the Knicks' No. 6 show very shameless.

Monroe played four times after he came on the court, in addition to throwing a mid-range, two strong hits in the low post were blocked by Hayes, and Monroe was also defended by Haiye in a strong attack under the basket, which caused the fans to laugh.

The Knicks' little guy hit the nail in front of Hayes in a row, which is the difference between the NBA and the NCAA. Hayes was also a majestic star in college back then, and it is an indisputable fact that NBA role players are getting stronger and stronger, so this also highlights that the talents of James, Wu Huang and others are indeed far beyond ordinary people.

Wu Huang contributed 5 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists in the first quarter, and his biggest feeling is that after the team has more people, he doesn't need to help the interior grab rebounds, especially when O'Neal and Xiaosi are on the court at the same time, their backcourt rebounds are very solid, which also makes the number of rebounds less for him.

Although the big shark is old, the pair of giant palms are lifted up, and the basketball can't run out of his palms. In contrast, although Yao Ming's rebounding is not bad, his palms, which are smaller than Wu Huang, always give people a feeling of not being stable enough.

With a score of 34:30, the Knicks and the Rockets were almost unguarded, which made the score difference between the two teams very close, and the scene was also very exciting, with wonderful dunks and breakthrough shots emerging in endlessly.

In the second quarter, Wu Huang rested for half a quarter before returning to the court, and soon performed a backhand dunk after passing two people in the cheers of the fans!

The defensive intensity of today's game was low, but Knicks fans can still find that Wu Huang's breakthrough is a point faster than last season, his first move is faster, his cadence is more rapid and powerful, and his final aerial maneuver is even more effortless...... This shows that his leg strength, waist and abdominal strength and even bounce have been strengthened to varying degrees, and the comprehensive improvement of these physical qualities makes him more comfortable when doing movements. Just like the goal just now, if there is a physical confrontation, you can see that Wu Huang's ability to maintain physical balance has also improved significantly compared to last season.

After Wu Huang's physical fitness improved, the biggest improvement for him is not these dynamic performances, his self-confidence is now more abundant, which is reflected in the fact that he has become more confident than ever when doing movements, which is his biggest gain, sufficient self-confidence can allow him to play all his strength on the field, and at the same time make the opponent become unconfident, can not play all his strength, this gap between the two is big.

Xiao Bu looks like he has no confidence in being beaten at the moment, and the Rocket team is playing well as a whole, but Xiao Bu is the only one who is abnormal, and even the fans can feel that Wu Huang's aura is too big, as if he can suppress this opponent with just his eyes.

Wu Huang didn't take the defense too seriously, but he didn't need to play with all his strength, he could make Xiao Bu feel uncomfortable for a while, because now Wu Huang is more restrained by this opponent, speed and flexibility are not inferior, but the confrontation ability and height far exceed the opponent, Xiao Bu can't see the position of the basket every time he shoots, and he has to adjust the arc to ensure that he is not covered, so it is strange to play well.

In the second quarter, Wu Huang stepped up his offense, and with Xiao Si, Iguodala and Gallinari drawing the defense for him, he became much easier to score than he did last season. These three people can't be let go, which means that it is difficult for the Rockets to free up their hands to contain Wu Huang, and the joint defense is not very useful, Wu Huang himself is the top three-point shooter, Gallinari is also one of the best outside shooters in the NBA, in this case, the Rockets simply can't shrink the defense line to play joint defense.

The cheers at Wukesong Gymnasium lasted for three minutes, and Wu Huang hit consecutive shots in the final three minutes of the second quarter to score 12 points in a short period of time, which is a bit scary even in the preseason.

Yao Ming was completely convinced, he would never have such an explosive scoring ability, Wu Huang's instantaneous output was very valuable, if coupled with his ball-holding ability, strategy organization, and top-level defense, even the peak Xiao Si could not steal his core position, he looked like Jordan in the No. 1 position.

At the end of the first half, the score was 71:62, and the Rockets didn't fall behind much, and the ability of Scola and Yao Ming to continue to score points was no joke, as long as the little giants can stay healthy, their lineup on the offensive end should not be underestimated.

Wu Huang played 13 minutes in the first half, cutting down 19 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, Xiao Si 12 points and 4 rebounds, Iguodala 6 points and 4 rebounds, Gallinari 11 points, O'Neal 6 points and 3 rebounds, Monroe 4 points and 3 rebounds.

Yao Ming played 12 minutes in the first half, with 12 points and 3 rebounds, Scola 12 points and 4 rebounds, Martin 10 points, Lowry 8 points and 4 assists, and Badinger 7 points.

In the second half, Wu Huang, Yao Ming and Xiao Si had less playing time, and the coaches of the two teams invariably chose to train young players. Generally speaking, the playing time of the main and substitutes should be equal.

The fans at the scene were a little dissatisfied, they didn't buy high-priced tickets to watch the substitute play, they just wanted to watch the duel between Wu Huang and Yao Ming on the field, but the two rarely had the opportunity to meet each other in the game.

Wu Huang is still better, at least he found an opportunity to rush in and dunk two, and a few breakthroughs and passes are also very exciting. But Yao Ming was much less spectacle when he played on the court, and he didn't dunk a single dunk after the third quarter, mostly with small hooks near the box line and mid-range shots from 15 feet away.

Senior fans can naturally see that after Yao Ming experienced the most serious injury in his career, he has changed his style of play again, and the frequency of hand-to-hand combat in the low post and the penalty area has been greatly reduced, but the attack outside the penalty area has increased, and from his body shape, the little giant has obviously lost weight, which is a reflection of further releasing the burden on the knee and ankle.

This change will undoubtedly make Yao Ming less lethal under the basket, his defensive dominance in the box will also decrease, and the defensive end will probably not be able to keep Howard from taking a step deep into the box as he used to. But such a change would allow Yao to lighten the load on his legs, reduce the chance of another injury and maintain his playing time.

There is no such penalty area killer in the league as O'Neal, and Howard is almost the most impactful center in the low post and the restricted area, so it is really unnecessary for Yao Ming to keep his weight close to 320 pounds, even if he reduces his weight to 300 pounds or even lower, except for Howard, there are probably few people who can pose much threat to him in the low post and the restricted area.

D'Antoni was not going to let Wu Huang play again in the fourth quarter, but as soon as the home fans didn't do it, they began to collectively shout the name of "Wu Huang" in the last six minutes, and at the same time, a group of substitutes of the Rockets went crazy again, Yao Ming was not on the court in the fourth quarter, and they actually chased back the 15-point deficit.

With 4 minutes and 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter and a score of 110-108, the Rockets had narrowed the gap to 2 points.

Yao Ming is embarrassed now, he scored 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting today, such a performance is already very good for a player who has been recuperating for a year, but it is still the same as before, it often happens that after he gets off the court, the Rockets can always chase points after changing to a small lineup, and even many experts are not clear about what is going on.

But at least one thing is certain, that is, the current league is really not suitable for the survival of big men like Yao Ming, even the Spurs have been speeding up in recent seasons, all teams are moving the attack area beyond the three-point line, and the future Warriors are just developing the league's new trend to the limit at an appropriate time.

It can be said that since the end of the Lakers dynasty, this league has gradually been unable to tolerate a center with low-post dominance, nor can it tolerate the traditional center-style play, which is an inevitable change caused by new rules and new trends.

Back then, the league in the 8 and 90s was completely different from the current league, when the 3-point line was first introduced, a team could only score 1 or 2 three-pointers a game, and in the league during the reign of black and white, a team could score an average of two three-pointers per game.

At that time, the league had a long-distance two-point shooting rate that was too low to be cost-effective, and fewer three-point shots were introduced, and the league restricted joint defense, and the real offensive rhythm of the entire league was to give the ball to the inside, followed by the guards pulling away singles and rushing in.

But what about now? The saying that "shooting under the basket is always more efficient than shooting from the outside" is long outdated, and now a team is embarrassed to speak up if it can't score double-digit three-pointers in a game, and the three-point shooting rate is indeed lower than shooting in the restricted area, but as long as a three-point shot has a 30% shooting rate, it can catch up with a 2-point shot 45% shooting rate, and if there is a 40% shooting rate, it can catch up with a two-point shooting rate of 60%, and now it is such an algorithm.

The most disadvantageous thing for traditional centers here is the new rules such as joint defense and five seconds on the back, with their restrictions, it is not good for interior players to play alone in the low post, so now many excellent centers and power forwards are all running to shoot in the middle of the shot, or simply pull to the outside to shoot threes.

In fact, the Rockets won the championship twice, although it was because Olajuwon reached his personal peak, but it was also related to the Rockets' average of the most three-pointers per game in the NBA at that time. That is, equipping a super center or interior with a bunch of three-pointers was a very advanced tactical concept at the time, because no one had played it before, but the Rockets had been playing this game for the past few years, and it was obviously an outdated tactic.

It wasn't until the Rockets won two consecutive championships that the three-point shot was officially brought to the game as a factor that could determine the outcome of the game. Until then, the low-post offense and the two- and third-post single breakaways were used as a more effective means of scoring, and in the 80s there were almost no three-point shots, but there were a lot of low-post offenses and singles breakaways, and the long-range two-point was not a reliable scoring method from ancient times to the present day.

So it is said that the NBA league defense at that time was iron-blooded, so it goes without saying, the player holds the ball outside the three-point line, the defender dares to let you go two steps away, and the lack of defense for three seconds leads to a large number of people in the restricted area hand-to-hand fighting and waiting for a block, that scene must be very, very iron-blooded!

After the 21st century, there are fewer excellent centers, but it does not mean that there is a sudden disconnection of centers, or there is no successor, but the rules have changed everything.

Heads-up, which was popular in the 90s, is long gone now; As soon as a good center gets the ball, someone starts to wrap it up; The joint defense, which was previously not allowed, has now become a basic tactic for many teams; A large number of rules that are unfavorable to the interior line, such as three seconds of defense, reasonable collision zone, and five seconds of back, have been born; In the 80s, you couldn't score a few three-pointers in a game, but now you can make twenty or thirty shots a game; Point guards, who used to be mostly responsible for organizing offense, are now the number one weapon on the offensive end.

The impact of this change in rules and tactics on players is huge, the so-called point guard is because the team needs it, and the same is true for the center generation, if the league's rules are in favor of swing man again, then there will be another swingman boom.

The scarcity of centers is because the rules and tactics force those young interior players to give up low-post training, and in order to adapt to the rules, they would rather practice three-point shooting, so it's not that the low-post footsteps are lost, but that no one wants to work hard anymore to practice these skills with unequal pay and gain.

Many people always say that whoever is in the 90s will be exposed now, but in fact, the four centers in the 90s will probably not adapt to it now, because the league has changed too much, and players will always have to adapt to the rules.

If the four centers are really born in the 21st century, then they must also be the playing style of the insiders today, if the four centers are not good, they will become the four major forwards, and even Olajuwon may pull out to shoot three points, but they must still be the same great.

On the other hand, if a genius like Cousins had been born in the 90s, he would have worked his low-post skills instead of running outside the box to shoot mid-range. If James had gone to the '90s, he would have been one of the most effective perimeter players of that period. Wu Huang will also definitely combine his height, reach, speed and shooting skills to blow up countless point guards, because at that time, most of them were one-on-one heads-up situations.

Wu Huang was reintroduced in the final four minutes of the game, but Yao Ming was still sitting on the sidelines, and Adelman was clearly not ready to send him on. Although the fans at the scene were not very satisfied with Yao Ming not playing, it was not bad to be able to see Wu Huang re-appear, in fact, most of them came for Wu Huang.

Yao Ming smiled wryly off the court, he had long felt that his style of play was outdated, the Rockets players were not reluctant to pass the ball to him, but he and the rhythm of the whole team were completely different from the same era, he was the most traditional center play style in the nineties, and a group of young players in the 21st century would feel like they were shackled when they cooperated with Yao Ming, and they were very uncomfortable with this slow rhythm of positional warfare.

So as soon as Yao Ming got off the court, the Rockets players immediately felt relaxed, they could finally untie the chains on their bodies and play at a fast pace without restraint, this kind of suppressed outburst is usually difficult to resist, which is why they can always play a scoring climax after Yao Ming is off the court.

But this kind of climax comes and goes quickly, and the Knicks quickly told the Rockets players what reality is, that is, playing fast-paced depends on athletic talent, not that you can play fast if you want to!

As soon as Wu Huang came on the court, he took down the already hi Lowry, he is not scared at all this guy who gave him a headache last season, the two defenders just now had a confrontation in the air, Wu Huang did not lose his balance after the confrontation, and used his long arm to slap the basketball away.

The Knicks quickly launched a fast break, Iguodala, Gallinari and Wu Huang made three passes and two passes between the marches, and the Rockets players were stunned, and Gallinari completed the goal with a flying dunk.

Once Wu Huang became serious on the defensive end, Lowry was completely out of play, and the defense of Alston and Wu Huang was at least two levels apart, and such a strong contrast made Lowry unable to adapt for a while.

The Rockets then discovered that they were underestimating Stoudemire's bench, Reggie Evans, who snatched a missed three-pointer from Scola like a hungry tiger on the offensive end and passed it to his team boss.

Wu Huang laughed secretly in his heart, Evans's rebounding ability has been affirmed during the team's training, this guy's low-post defense and rebounding are really speechless, which can often make Xiao Si discouraged, especially his momentum of playing with you in training games, he really has a bit of an outlaw posture.

"Huh!" Wu Huang made a temporary decision to throw the ball with his left hand, and the basketball passed directly past the basket - the three non-sticks were out of bounds!

"it!" Wu Huang can't be calm, he remembers that what he got in his dream should be the left-handed shooting ability, although he forgot most of the content, but he remembered this matter, but what is the situation of this three non-sticks?

Wu Huang's left hand has always had the ability to shoot, but his dominant hand is the right hand, so he rarely uses it, but using less does it mean that he will shoot a three-no-stick in the air guard?

Wu Huang's goal gave the Rockets an opportunity to catch their breath, and Scola hit two consecutive shots on the offensive end, and after the game entered the final two minutes, the Knicks still did not open the difference.

In the last 1 minute and 46 seconds, Connett Lee hit a 3+1 on Gallinari to narrow the score gap to 2 points again.

The Rockets are known as the unbeatable little powerhouse because they always have role players who step up in key moments, Wu Huang and Iguodala have frozen Lowry and Martin, and Gallinari has left out Connette Lee.

D'Antoni was unhappy with Gallinari's brainless defence and called a timeout to replace his pro-lover with Toni Allen.

Tony Allen only played 16 minutes today, and his performance was not very good, shooting 0 of 3, his projection ability was too poor, it was difficult to play well in this kind of offensive battle, and the defensive end was not reflected because the rhythm of the game was too loose.

But in the final minutes, the two sides began to play in earnest, and his defense may come in handy at this time, and D'Antoni was not completely undefensive, so he replaced Tony Allen in time to strengthen the defensive intensity on the outside. (To be continued.) )
