As soon as Mark Jackson saw Nash on the court, his eyes immediately lit up: "Pull me away, I'll single him!" ”

The whole team pulled away, and Mark Jackson relied on his fart ten strands, squeezed Nash with his back and walked in, squeezing Nash all the way to the basket!

Nesterovic saw that Nash couldn't stand it, and hurried over to make up for the defense, Mark Jackson shared the ball in time, and Rick Schmitz made a jumper!

7：12！

The Knicks attacked, Nash and Garnett played a beautiful open cut combination, and finally Garnett poured the ball into the basket hard!

9：12！

Turning around, Mark Jackson repeated his old trick and pushed Nash to the basket again, but Big Ben helped defend in time and put his must-score cap out of the court!

The Pacers re-served, Mark Jackson ate with his back again, and Nash squeezed with all his strength, and the two were deadlocked for a while, and the fans laughed together.

Li Wei was also helpless when he saw this, and it was estimated that David Stern in front of the TV would be very embarrassed when he saw such a scene. If nothing happens, they'll have a 5-second back-to-back rule next season, and at that point, Nash will win as long as he can hold on for 5 seconds!

Now there is no five-second rule on his back, and Mark Jackson really seems to be unscrupulous when he squeezes up, but this round was interrupted once, and seeing that the offensive time was almost gone, he passed the ball outside, and Jalen Ross was a piece of iron!

The ball bounced out of bounds, and Li Wei quickly called Nash over to admonish him, because he found that the Pacers' defensive position had a gap in the bottom left corner, and if Nash moved to that position in the next tactical run, there was a high probability that there would be an empty space.

Nash nodded, and quickly explained a few words to Garnett, the Knicks attacked!

Nash, who was supposed to cut inside first and then outside the three-point line, didn't follow the routine and ran directly to the left side, and Garnett, the organization at the top of the arc, also moved to the left, looking like he wanted to break through, but he passed the ball!

Nash ran to the position, just received the ball, and hit it with ease!

11：12！

Bird's brow furrowed slightly, and he stood up and yelled at Antonio Davis. If he pulls out this ball to make up for Nash, he can still interfere with it, but unfortunately he stands at the bottom of the basket.

After a round, the Knicks repeated the old trick, Antonio Davis hurriedly pulled to the left side to defend Nash, but Nash passed to Big Ben, and Big Ben scored a slam dunk!

13：12！

Bird frowned and shouted to the Pacers: "Change a defensive plan, change the plan!" ”

Seeing this, Li Wei immediately replaced Nesterovic with Nowitzki, and at the same time shouted loudly to the Knicks' players: "Hurry up, play fast next!" ”

After the Pacers change their defensive plan, the players will definitely hesitate for a short time, and at this time, the Knicks will explode a fast attack, and it is definitely easy to win in chaos!

Sure enough, after Nowitzki came on the court, the two teams fought chaotically, and the score became 19:14, and the Knicks overtook by 5 points!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bird called a timeout, and Li Wei took the opportunity to replace Alan Houston with Stephen Jackson and Garnett with Bo Outlaw.

Dabo plays small forward on the defensive end and big forward on the offensive end, letting Nowitzki play small forward because he can't do anything but dunk. The adjustment wasn't a miracle either, just to get more rest for Garnett and Houston.

Bird's side also replaced Rick Schmitz, this kind of heavy center is more expensive, so Bird will not let him play too long.

The two Davis guarding the Pacers' interior line are a whole size larger than the combination of Big Ben + Big Bo on the Knicks' side, but although Big Ben and Big Ao are short, they are not inferior to the double Davis, and the inside scramble is particularly fierce!

The first quarter ended 25-21 with the Knicks leading by four points, and the second quarter opened with Larry Bird surprisingly using Antonio Davis as the offensive first choice.

As we all know, the Pacers' two Davis are both blue-collar workers, and their main tasks are to grab rebounds and defense, and they don't have many offensive roles. The Knicks' defensive strategy is also to withstand Rick Schmitz, and at the same time contain their three outside shots in time: Reggie Miller, Mark Jackson, Chris Mullin, Davis is really unable to do both.

Bird saw that Antonio Davis was always being missed, so he played this frequently.

Davis's offense isn't very good, and Big Ben and Big Bo are also very active in their defense and won't give him too many chances, but it doesn't matter, the Pacers have a home whistle.

A few rounds later, Davis completed a slam dunk and hit four free throws in a row to score six points to help the Pacers take the lead!

Li Wei called a timeout and rearranged the defense.

Last season, the Knicks' defense was mainly handled by Chuck Daley, Brandon Malone, and Jeff Nick.

This season, Brandon Malone left, new defensive assistant coach Byron Scott took over, and Li Wei was more involved in the arrangement of defensive tactics, but most of the time, Chuck Daley was in charge.

Now that Chuck Daley is hospitalized, the pre-war tactics were jointly formulated by Li Wei and Byron Scott and others, and he didn't bother to look for Scott again, and he could just adjust it directly when he saw something wrong. Now he is no longer a rookie, he has led the team for two years, and he can make his own decisions on how to defend.

"Big Ben, when you help defend next, pay attention to Reggie Miller's move, his main role now is to play cover, you can't let him form a straight line with Antonio Davis, otherwise he will definitely hang the ball inside!"

"Understood!" Big Ben nodded.

"Dabo, you have to be careful when Mullin is high on the left, he will also respond to Davis. If he passes the ball in, you immediately shrink to the inside and wrap it up, you know? ”

"Understood!" Bo Outelo nodded.

A few other points were instructed, and the two teams returned to the field.

Larry Bird predicted in advance that the point of continuing to play Davis would not work, and after a failed attempt, the Pacers' tactics changed to Reggie Miller's main attack!

This change was also expected by Li Wei in advance, the Knicks players were easy to deal with, and the situation on the court became evenly matched!

In the entire second quarter, the two sides fought 19:19, and no one took advantage, but because the Knicks led by 4 points in the first quarter, after halftime, the score was 44:40, and the Knicks still had the advantage!

Al Albert said: "Although the Knicks have a lot of young people, the strength is really good, and from the perspective of the field, the confrontation between our two teams is fierce!" ”

Clark Kellogg said: "Yes, the young people of the Knicks are very talented, I thought that after Chuck Daley was hospitalized, the Knicks would have fewer tactical changes, but it turned out that we were still too naïve, and Coach Lee can always complicate simple situations!" “
