Charlie Ward received the ball and raced forward, with David Wesley in hot pursuit.

Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Ward went around in a circle and returned to the three-point line to organize a positional battle.

Li Wei has always believed that the team's tactical system can be roughly divided into two categories, one is a people-oriented system, and the other is a ball-based system.

The people-oriented system pays more attention to the role of superstars, and there will be more individual singles and breakthrough points in the game, and the core idea is that I have a superstar is a cow, and if you dare to fight alone, you will lose.

The ball-based system pays more attention to the transfer and running of the ball, finds vacancies through constant covers, passes and cuts, and plays team basketball, and everyone is a part of the tactical version.

Both systems have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Fans generally like the ball-based system, because there are many combinations, it looks good, and everyone can play a role in the system. But this system usually performs well, and when the bayonets are red in the playoffs, the defensive pressure becomes greater, and it is easy to run poorly.

Everyone is part of the system, which means that everyone has to perform well for the system to function properly. It's hard for most normal players to play at a star-level level under high pressure, and if you break down one or two points, it will all fall apart, because your whole team is a unit.

For example, the Hawks in the 14-15 season, with 60 wins in the regular season and first in the East, were easily swept by the Cavaliers 4-0 in the playoffs, which surprised fans.

The human-oriented system also has an Achilles' heel, that is, it relies too much on superstars. For example, the Cavaliers, who entered the Finals in a row in their previous life, relied on James very seriously. Once he's not there, the whole team won't play.

When it comes to the playoffs, the other party will definitely call your superstar to death. How to reduce the consumption of the superstar, so that he still has physical strength at the end of the game, and at the same time keep the team from being broken when the superstar is off the court, is a very difficult problem to solve.

Li Wei's vision for the Knicks is to build a ball-based offensive system, because Garnett is not the kind of superstar who can't solve it alone, and at the same time, he has a strong ability to respond, and is the best team player puzzle.

Of course, individual singles can't be given up. Once in the playoffs, the team system is limited and needs that kind of unreasonable scoring to break the deadlock, and the Knicks need someone to step up. The candidate in Li Wei's heart is Dirk Nowitzki!

A truly tough team must have a superstar who has no offensive solution, and Nowitzki is the strawberry on the cake in Li Wei's heart.

In this month's training camp, Li Wei has been constantly improving his ball-based system, in fact, there is not much content in this system, and most of the tactics are copied from the Warriors Kerr's in his previous life.

In just one month, it is difficult for the players to fully master an offensive system, not to mention that the focus of this month's training is the defensive system of the old Knicks, so the team's offensive aspect has not been smooth.

Fortunately, the Knicks' opponents are also unfamiliar with this novel system, such as the current Hornets, who accidentally leaked again.

Charlie Ward threw the ball to Alan Houston, who ran out of space, and Houston hit a shot in anger!

Dave Cowens kept shaking his head there when he saw the Knicks' offensive routine so weird.

The closer you get to the basket, the more accurate your shot will be. You let the team's first offensive option be to shoot three points, isn't that self-defeating?

Divac saw the opponent's three-point iron and immediately stuck his position, ready to accept this defensive rebound.

Who knew that when he was about to get the ball, a big hand took a step ahead and took the rebound off his head!

It's Big Z!

Generally speaking, super centers with a height of more than two meters will be relatively slow, and it is no problem to protect the backcourt rebounds, but the frontcourt rebounds are a little unable to grab.

For example, Da Yao, his frontcourt rebounding level is very average.

But Big Z is definitely an outlier, such a tall man, but his frontcourt rebounding ability has always been at the top of the league!

In the 04-05 season, where he played the most minutes, he even ranked second in the league in frontcourt rebounds per game, and only Ben Wallace was better than him!

As for Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan and the others, they can only look up behind him!

Seeing that Big Z took away the rebound, Divac hurried to defend. Unexpectedly, this rookie center, who is also from Europe, used a flexible turn hook hand to send the ball into the basket steadily!

5:0, Knicks lead!

In the next round, David Wesley scored two points on a mid-range shot, and Garnett hit a three-point iron on the Knicks' side.

In the next round, Ward hit the iron, and Big Z grabbed the rebound in the front court again, and scored the ball in the face of Divac's block!

7:2, the Knicks continue to lead!

The Hornets attacked, and Glenn Rice and Anthony Mason played a good combination, and Mason dunked the ball. But in retrospect, the Knicks scored a three-pointer!

10：4！

After that, the Hornets made a mistake and Garnett held the ball to organize the attack. There was no space after the run, and he hoisted the ball to the big Z on the inside!

Big Z waist position with the ball single, hard to eat Divac one!

12：4！

Dave Cowens on the sidelines was a little unsettled.

Originally, this was a battle of the Hornets without suspense, but the Knicks are now in the lead. What's more, the Knicks' rookie center almost hung Divac up to play!

Consecutive scores, consecutive frontcourt rebounds!

Who the hell is a rookie between the two of you?

The host of the Hornets on the sidelines saw this situation and was also not calm.

Jill McGregor said: "Steve, I remember you said before the game that the opponent's rookie center would be blown up by our center? ”

Steve Martin said, "That's right, I said that. Divac wasn't in the right form today, how can you let a rookie score in a row and snatch the rebounds from his head? ”

Before his words fell, the Knicks' sharpshooter Alan Houston hit another shot from outside the three-point line!

Then the big Z long arm hooked, and the third frontcourt rebound arrived!

"Oops!" Steve Martin is so anxious that he stomps his feet!

Some of the Hornets fans at the scene began to boo!

Although you Divac are not tough enough to compare to the four major centers, you are also an old bird who has been fighting in the league for nearly ten years, how can you be so soft in front of a rookie?

You're stuck with him!

You don't send warmth like this!

But the boos of these fans are not over, and even more speechless things have happened.

Big Z squeezed Divac and jumped and poured the ball into the basket!

14：4！

McGregor said: "It's 14:4, it's only three minutes into the game, and we're ten points behind!" ”

Steve Martin said: "The main problem is Divac, how can he let the opponent steal three offensive rebounds? And let the family score 8 points directly on his head? ”

McGregor said: "Divac was beaten to the point that he lost his temper at all, this can't be done!" ”

The commentator was saying, the crowd was booing, the manager was frowning, and Divac was feeling faceless.

When attacking again, he is ready to single the big Z one and regain some dignity!

The plan is good, but how can the 2.21-meter-big Z be so easy to single?

"Bang!"

The Lithuanian center forward used a sturdy cap to take Divac off his hat!

Then Charlie Ward picked up the ball and made a quick break and made a layup with a flutter!

At 16:4, the Knicks lead by 12 points!
