The Knicks still won the third game easily, and they had a 24-point lead in the third quarter, but Wu Huang didn't want to leave the game too early, and he said to coach D'Antoni: "Even if I practice my hands, keep up the condition." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although the mustache did not agree to Wu Huang's request in the end, a playoff game made the Holy Sect Master play a training session, which shows how bad the situation of the 76ers is.

This is the second time the Knicks have taken a 3-0 lead in the first round of the playoffs since last season's playoff opening round against the Pacers, and their offense is no longer than an eighth-time team in the division.

This year, it is not surprising that the Knicks will still be quick in the first round, which will be very beneficial for their subsequent tournaments. For this young 76ers team, both coaches and players, most of them are not ready for this playoffs, especially against the Knicks, and now it is difficult to even ensure that they are not swept. But it's not their fault, in the face of the defending champions who are proficient in all kinds of offensive means, the 76ers can't defend against pick-and-roll, singles, inside and outside connections and three-point shots, they can't do anything at all.

'The thing we need to learn is how to defend differently, and we need to know what works and what doesn't. 76ers small forward Thaddeus Young said, "We can't make it that easy for them to get into the box because they're going to make open three-pointers or dunks. So we need to do better. ”

The 76ers, as a defense that they relied on to win the game, were no longer strong enough in front of the Knicks, and another more serious problem was turnovers, with a total of 45 turnovers in their three games, which was enough for the Knicks to easily score more than 80+ points through counterattacks. It can be said that the 76ers have basically no chance of winning under the premise of such a high turnover.

'We're a young team and things like this are always going to happen. Brand said after the game that the veteran captain was limited in his contribution to the series under the Knicks' two interior blockades, and he also seemed helpless at this time.

The 76ers didn't make any changes today, with Wilson Chandler in the starting lineup, a change that was met with some skepticism because the New York veteran wasn't consistent enough in the regular season. Head coach Collins explained that the adjustment was made because he felt the team needed Chandler's knowledge of the Knicks. But the result is that the latter played an infernal defense, compared to Turner, who did a good job defensively, Chandler's defense was much worse, and the current Knicks are no longer the Knicks that Chandler is familiar with.

The New York Times reported after the game: In the third game of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Knicks defeated the 76ers 116-96 to take a 3-0 lead in the overall score.

In this game, Hugo, the core of the Knicks, scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the third quarter. Inside stalwart David West shot 8-of-12 from the field and was extremely efficient, with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in all-around statistics. Gasol also had a good performance on 6-of-11 shooting, veteran Battier made 3-of-5 three-pointers, and the collective play of the new signings showed the Knicks' wisdom in transfer operations.

Two of the Knicks' five new signings this season have been outstanding on the inside, with Battier hitting 11 three-pointers in the first three games of the playoffs, shooting 44 percent from three-point range, and he has exceeded the Knicks' demands of him by providing excellent defense and consistent three-pointers on the offensive end on the wing.

Isiah Thomas and Hassan Whiteside also got some minutes in all three games, with Thomas lacking slightly on the offensive end, and his overly sticky style of play made it easy for opponents to get caught in the playoffs, and Thomas's scoring and efficiency dropped compared to the regular season. However, Whiteside's performance has been eye-catching, and in these games of big wins, the interior lineman who was cut by CBA teams last year showed a unique sense of smell and control in rebounding, and he grabbed a total of 16 rebounds and contributed five blocks in a total of 29 minutes of playing time in three games, and his amazing rebounding and blocking efficiency showed his potential on the defensive end.

The New York Times has begun to take note of the defensive potential of the brain-dead Knicks, and Whiteside showed his talent for rebounding and blocking after being recalled, and while he was terrible when he was bad, overall he played very different from other base-paid players. Yes, Whiteside, a player who has only played a dozen minutes per game, has a clear higher stats than a player of his status, which can be seen as a demonstration of his potential.

The Rockets' Mourning is said to have set his sights on the Knicks' Whiteside, as well as the 76ers' Vucevic and the Bulls' Asik, and if his formula is used, all three can hand in excellent statistics of 12+10 on the premise of plenty of playing time. The most important thing is that they are not worth much, and the original team will not offer them too high contracts to retain, these people are the most suitable targets for poaching in his eyes.

Knicks fans are not too worried, after Arenas, the league team has been unable to use similar methods to poach people, Whiteside's next contract can only take a mid-range at most, but the Knicks don't think anyone will really use the mid-range to rob Whiteside, and the person who did that kind of thing is definitely a brain problem.

The New York media and fans believe that their brain-dead child is not worth a full middle class at the moment, he is worth a contract of 8 million for 3 years, or 12 million for 4 years, which is still based on his good potential, otherwise his current strength is not even worth such a contract.

"I've said it a long time ago, the Knicks won't be threatened in the first round, the 76ers are just a poor worm for them to warm up, let's see if the Pacers, who have improved so much this season, can cause some problems for the Knicks." Barkley's big mouth couldn't sit idle, "yes, I think in the fourth and fifth battles in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers will win in the end, because they stay healthy on the inside, and Horford, the Hawks' main center, is reimbursed." ”

Al Horford was injured again in Game 3 against the Pacers, and the Hawks center only played 20 games in the regular season, returning before the start of the playoffs, but his physical condition has obviously not recovered, and he was injured again after playing three playoff games, and this time he was really reimbursed. Now that the Hawks, who are missing their main center, are already inferior to the Pacers in terms of interior strength, Maddy's curse seems to be continuing to work.

The tragedy of this year's Hawks also made many of Maddie's black fans very happy, and they shouted that if Maddie hadn't hugged the thigh of the Holy Sect Master two years ago, she might not have broken through the second round so far; Some New York fans even took the opportunity to complain that the Knicks were eliminated by the Magic that year, all because Maddy's face was too dark, otherwise they would have won the championship two years ago, how could there be two consecutive championships of the Lakers!

This kind of face, it is quite ugly, the so-called one pink top ten black, it is estimated that these people are talking about.

The New York media is now paying more attention to Hibbert, who is known as the "Black Yaoming", and while the Knicks swept the Pacers in the first round last season, Hibbert failed to play to his height advantage, but instead highlighted his slow footwork, poor rebounding, and poor basic skills.

But after last season's playoffs and this season's grind, Hibbert has now grown into an All-Star center. He is tall and has long arms, a softer shooting touch, a more solid hook shot this season, an increase in movement speed when defending and pick-and-roll, and plays like a fish in water in Vogel's half-court offensive and defensive tactical system, averaging 14 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks per game in the first three games of the playoffs, especially in the third game, he played an astonishing 9 blocks. Hibbert is now the mainstay of the Pacers' interior defense and a presence that makes the Hawks feel extremely tricky.

The Knicks have begun to pay attention to these two teams, and at present, the Pacers have the best chance of qualifying, they have Granger and the fast-rising Paul George on the outside, Hibbert on the inside and Hansblu, a practical blue-collar Hansbrough, Collison and George Hill on the point guard, and experienced players such as James Posey and Frye on the bench, plus the improvement of experience and team understanding, this Pacers team is much stronger than last year, and it is impossible for the Knicks to beat the opponent like last year.

After the first three games of the first round, the Knicks, Spurs, and Thunder continued to maintain a winning record, and the results of other games were mostly in line with their respective rankings and strengths.

Western Conference - Spurs (3) vs (0) Nuggets; Thunder (3) vs (0) Lakers; Grizzlies (2) vs (1) Rockets; Clippers (1) vs (2) Mavericks.

Eastern Conference - Knicks (3) vs (0) 76ers; Bulls (2) vs (1) Magic; Heat (2) vs (1) Celtics; Pacers (2) vs (1) Hawks.

The victory of the Spurs and the Knicks looked easy, although the Thunder also played a 3:0 score, but the Lakers maintained the suspense until the last minute every time, and Kobe's three-point shot in the third game failed to win, so that the Thunder team struggled to win on the road, but in any case, the Lakers could not turn the tables after falling behind 0:3.

The Grizzlies and Rockets played four quarters without a winner, and in the end, in overtime, Yao Ming was unable to maintain a good performance in regular time, scoring only one point on free throws in the final five minutes, making the Rockets lose in overtime.

In the whole game, although the little giant scored 32 points and 18 rebounds, he still failed to help the team win.

Mayo scored a maximum of 30 points for the Grizzlies, Randolph also scored 25 points, as long as one person in the Grizzlies backcourt played well, the Rockets would not be able to win the game, and once it dragged to overtime, it would be even more hopeless, Yao Ming did not have the physical fitness to play more than 38 minutes at all, but when it came to overtime, Yao Ming's playing time would inevitably exceed 38 minutes, which was the most painful for Rockets fans.

But the most imperfect thing for Knicks fans is that both the Bulls and the Heat have won the game, especially the Heat's 26-point win over the Celtics on the road, this kind of performance is the last thing Knicks fans want to see, and their biggest enemy in the East at the moment is the Heat, and the Miami are in such good shape, which is not good news for them.

On May 4, D'Antoni was also unhappy today, because the NBA officially announced the winners of the 2011-2012 season head coach of the year, and San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich was successfully selected.

This season, the Spurs finished second in the league with a 48-18 record under Popovich and became the Western Conference regular season champion for the second year in a row.

Back in the 02-03 season, Popovich was voted Head Coach of the Year, and now he has won that honor again. Of the 119 sports journalists and commentators who voted for the award, 77 voted for Popovich in their first-place vote, giving the coach an overwhelming advantage in this regard.

D'Antoni thought he deserved to be the best coach in the league with the best record in the league and four more wins than the Spurs, but he only received 28 first-place votes, a 10-point gap between him and Popovich, who was clearly far behind Popovich in the eyes of these professional journalists and commentators.

The media believes that Popovich is very good at learning, he was an assistant coach for Larry Brown and Bob Hill, and he has experience with North Carolina's system, and he has also learned from the strong side of the triangle offense; In that slow, defensive era, he led the Spurs to become one of the slowest and most disciplined teams in the league; After the rule reform in 2005, he immediately released Ginobili and Parker from the cage, putting light interior players like Bonner and Blair to use. In the past two years, small-ball tactics have prevailed, everyone has begun to play blocking, long-range shooting, just like the old rival Suns, and the multi-player perimeter rotation is very similar to the Mavericks at the beginning, and the Spurs immediately began to change in this direction.

If you want to ask: what kind of team are the San Antonio Spurs? This is a problem that even many Spurs fans can't say, they only have a vague impression, for example, David Stern has always thought that the Spurs are still the most ugly team, but in fact, the Spurs, which give the impression of "old-fashioned", "rigid" and "stubborn", have been changing, and they have even become faster than anyone else.

Popovich didn't stick to the same principle, Duncan can go from the inside center to a high blocker, and Ginobili can go from starter to bench and then switch back and forth from breakout master to playmaker. No one on the team cares about the number of shots or the distribution of offense - there is only one fixed principle: play how you can win.

When the Spurs won the championship in '05, many teams in the league were also learning from the Spurs, they thought that this team was simply an automatic 50-win machine, no matter what lineup this season, no matter how good the players were this season, no matter how strong the opponent was, you don't need to worry about them not getting 50+ wins in the regular season.

So the Cavaliers took Ferrira of the old Spurs as manager and Mike Brown as coach in order to learn the secret of Spurs' success; The Mavericks used the little general against the master Popovich, in order to learn the success of the Spurs; The Thunder pulled away Presti and Calessimour, and Durant in 2010 publicly said he "wanted to be a player like Duncan" — but the question is, what did these teams learn when they learned from the Spurs?

This question, if you answer it with what everyone knows, they learn "Spurs' defense, unity, and stability", of course, this kind of answer can't be crossed, but if you look closely: if you replace "Spurs" with "2005-08 Pistons" and "2007-present Celtics", it is still universal, this is not the real secret of Spurs' success.

In fact, even the four seasons when the Spurs won the championship, the details are very different, many people want to learn from the Spurs, but they don't know that the Spurs like to learn from others the most, the stereotyped, rigid, and the old man who sprays players with a foaming star on his face at every turn, but is best at learning other people's success rules for his own use.

In 1999, the Spurs had the shadow of the Rockets and Lakers in the high-to-high line of the twin towers, and their arc and wing threes also had the shadow of the Rockets winning championships and even the Bulls.

In 2003, Parker and Jackson were the team's second and third scorers, the two of them shot one by one, and Duncan was dominating the interior, at this time the Spurs changed their style of play, and even the shadow of the triangle offense could be seen.

In 2005, Ginobili broke through like a snake on the perimeter, Duncan + a white and a black double interior rotation, and Popovich was still taking medicine according to the player's condition and league rules.

2007: Ginobili returned to the bench and the Spurs' pick-and-roll became more frantic than ever, and it's hard to argue that it wasn't stimulated by the Crazy Suns, and the three-point shot has since become one of the Spurs' main offensive tools.

The main purpose of the Spurs in 2010-12 is to speed up, block and pick and roll high, and continue to strengthen the three-point, which is more like the Knicks' style of play today - no, they also deliberately brought in a good player Dior to join the team, and even wanted to trade Danny Green from the Knicks during the trade period, all of which showed that the old man was eyeing the Knicks again.

So, what can you learn from the Spurs? Spurs have always followed the trend, what tactics are effective, what styles are popular, and what things are useful, they will introduce them according to their own needs, and then improve them according to their own characteristics.

If you think about it, these excellent head coaches in the league are very interesting, and the Zen master will go around selling his amazing triangle attack; D'Antoni is speeding up + three points everywhere; Adelman is an improvisation everywhere he goes. And Popovich? In 15 years, apart from the same winning figures, he seems to be the most variable person, no less than Adelman.

The Spurs' philosophy, first and foremost, requires members of the coaching staff and players to communicate frequently. Discipline, obligation, honest communication, the pursuit of sacrifice for the team, having fun, trusting each other, and generating good chemistry. So, when the Spurs sign people, they always go after guys who "don't want anything but win". As you can imagine, when the Spurs are full of Duncan, Ginobili, Leonard, and other guys who "if I play, I like to play with them, too." "Teamwork" comes naturally, and it doesn't even take Popovich to emphasize what a team is.

Parker's current label is stable and high execution, but in his early years, he was a dumbfounder who could only break through, and he was no less reckless than Westbrook today. But after years of experience in the team, he has become a selfless, intelligent, sophisticated, and playable point guard in the past few seasons.

That's all there is to Spurs, but why is it so hard to replicate? Because you also have to have the eye of Popovich and Buford to know how to pick a team, for example, to pick Ginobili; You've got to have the charisma of Popovich to put together a team that's willing to listen to him play and criticize, and not everyone can make Captain Jack a championship defender; You also have to have his tactical thinking to judge what path is suitable for the team to win, otherwise it will be a toddler in Handan; In the end, you have to have a versatile core like Tim Duncan, who has quietly supported you for fifteen years of playing fast, slow, inside, high blocking, using bad jokes and fifteen years of inexhaustible winning spirit to unite the locker room - this last point is too hard to come by.

Looking at it this way, D'Antoni, who is now a nanny coach in the Knicks, is not far behind, and last year he was able to snatch the best coach from Popovich, which is already a compromise for the big guys to see the Knicks' amazing record, unless the Knicks can play a magical record of more than 67 wins in the future, it is difficult for D'Antoni to get any best coach award again.

In addition to the best coach results, two individual player awards will also be presented on this day, namely "Best Defensive Player" and "Most Improved Player".

The second official NBA announcement was the award for this season's Defensive Player of the Year, with Mavericks center Tyson Chandler beating out Serge Ibaka and Howard, James and Garnett ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, and Wu Huang and Kobe Bryant were completely ignored in the selection, both of whom finished in the top 10.

Tyson Chandler has been a defensive center since he entered the league. But early in his career, Chandler didn't perform as expected. Until last season with the Mavericks, Chandler proved his worth and helped the Dallas team reach the Finals. This season, Chandler continued to stay with the Mavericks, playing in 62 games in the regular season, averaging 11.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, and brought extremely critical interior defense to the aging Mavericks, which also made it possible for the Mavericks to eliminate the Clippers now.

The Orlando Magic's forward Ryan Anderson won the award for the Most Improved Player of the Season, beating many players. Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American point guard who played for the Mavericks, was a strong contender for the award, but he only finished sixth in the selection because of his limited appearances.

Anderson's improvement this season has been evident, averaging 15.7 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per game, both of which are career highs. In addition, Anderson has made 166 three-pointers this season. Compared to last season, Anderson is averaging 5 points per game and 2.2 rebounds per game.

The league will only announce these three awards in the first round, with the rest of the individual awards and the All-NBA roster being announced in the second round of the playoffs. Wu Huang will have to wait a few more days to get his MVP, and whether he can make the All-Defensive Team is also a big suspense.

However, there is no suspense in the fourth game of the Knicks, even if it is an away game, but Gasol scored 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first half today, and David West also scored 12 points, and today's 76ers can't even do this multiple-choice question, and the Knicks' two interior linemen combined to score 28 points in the first half, directly destroying the 76ers.

Wu Huang was on the court again today, he was covered by his own inside, and he found an opportunity to shoot 4 three-pointers in the first half, and the Knicks led by 14 points at 62:48 at halftime, and the suspense of this game seemed to be big after one half.

The 76ers are just as depressed as the Nuggets, the Knicks and Spurs didn't give their opponents a chance, these two teams are the only teams to play dominance in the first round of the playoffs, and their fans can enjoy the game every second without worrying about the team rolling over, and the answer has already been announced in advance.

In the third quarter, the Knicks players released again on the defensive end in order to score more points in the final game of the first round. But Whiteside, a stunned young man, didn't even have any eyesight, and after coming on the court at the end of the third quarter, the bastard sent two blocks in a row, and then grabbed a frontcourt rebound to score a dunk, which instantly brought the difference to 22 points.

Wu Huang said that he was very unhappy, he had already scored 25 points in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, as long as he went up and brushed twice, he could mix 30 points to complete the task, so that his statistics in the first round would be very good. But at the moment, he was messed up by this stunned young man, and he couldn't play in the fourth quarter to score points, this idiot is really damned! (To be continued.) )
