Larry Bird called a timeout and made a substitution.

He replaced Chris Mullin with Derrick McGee, who is 2.06m tall and has been in the All-Defensive Team twice.

This is a change that Li Wei expected. Compared to Mullin, Derrick McGee, who is skinny and tall, can limit Garnett more, but with such a change, the Pacers' offensive side will be a shortcoming.

No matter how old Mullin is, he still has a historic level of projection, and no one dares to let him go, and McGee can only throw some open balls!

This adjustment will greatly reduce the pressure on the Knicks on the defensive end!

Bird was also frowning when he made a substitution. If he can not change people, he will definitely not change at this time. With Mullin off the court, the Pacers' offensive system will be missing a lot of threatening changes.

But it really doesn't work if you don't change, Mullin's advantage on the offensive end didn't show much, but the defensive end was blown up by Garnett!

The offensive and defensive points were rearranged, a few issues were highlighted, and the timeout was up and the players from both sides were back on the pitch.

Then, Bird found that he had overlooked a problem.

A normal coach will not make big adjustments when he only plays half a quarter and leads by a big score, but Li Wei is not normal!

He's a substitution maniac!

The Pacers only changed one, and the Knicks directly changed four!

Charlie Ward, Houston, Oakley, Big Z, all off, Nash, Bowen, Hornacek and Big Ben are on the court!

Garnett was still on the court, but Bird understood that Derrick McGee couldn't play against him anymore because he had switched to power forward!

"Coach, what should I do?" The Pacers' players looked at each other.

Larry Bird's first instinct was to replace McGee with Mullin to chase the score, but after thinking about it, he broke off the idea.

McGee will still have no problem defending the opposing small forward, and the Knicks can be targeted by the Pacers!

Because their center is too short!

"Give the ball to Schmitz and let him single!" Bird said loudly.

As soon as Garnett heard that the other party was going to single Schmitz, his expression was immediately extremely sad!

Schmitz is 2.24 meters tall, and the short Big Ben will definitely not be able to defend alone, so in this rotation, he will be the center of the defensive end!

Garnett hates playing center the most!

"Hold on, just two minutes, don't be afraid of him!" Li Wei encouraged loudly.

Garnett can't help it if he's afraid, and he's afraid that he has to go to the top.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Schmitz is not that kind of power center, in other words, this is white, slow, soft, not very strong in confrontation, scoring mainly depends on skill, and Garnetnu can still withstand it with hard work!

"Garnett is playing center!"

The three hosts of the live broadcast laughed together when they saw Schmitz and Garnett go head-to-head.

Isaiah Thomas said: "You always say that a seven-foot man should not be placed on the outside, and now Coach Lee has asked him to play center, are you satisfied?" ”

Costas said: "This, it still doesn't work, he's too thin!" ”

Bill Wharton said: "He's got to gain weight before he can hold up to the center. If the other party is not Schmitz, but O'Neal, he would have hung him on his body and dunked by now! ”

Schmitz is certainly not O'Neill, but he is still squeezing Garnett to sit in it!

Garnett gritted his teeth and didn't let the other party sit in!

Schmitz then took a stride and turned, and then hooked his hand.

It was a very solid goal, and Garnett was powerless to interfere because Schmitz was too tall!

But at this time, the weak side of the big Ben came over!

Due to his congenital deficiencies and being too short, Big Ben has never been a good one-on-one defender, but he was able to win four best defensive trophies in that era when joint defense was allowed with his outstanding defensive ability!

In terms of co-defense, Daben is really not aimed at anyone!

As soon as Schmitz's ball left his hand, Big Ben pressed it from a distance like a god!

Then the big palm slapped the ball to the floor!

Garnett has a quick eye, picks up the ball, and launches a fast attack!

Nash, Bowen and the others hurry up immediately!

Bowen ran the fastest, leaving Derek McGee behind!

Nash, who received the pass, took the opportunity well and threw the ball into the sky at the right time!

Then the third uncle took the big dunk empty!

The score is 29:10, and the Knicks lead!

"Hahahaha!" Li Wei laughed and applauded.

Uncle Bao San's violent slam dunk in the air, this is too rare, you must support it!

Next, Schmitz hit Garnett, but the Knicks continued to shoot fast, and Hornacek hit a three-pointer in the chaos!

The score is 32:12!

"Hmm." Li Wei nodded secretly.

The reason why he replaced Big Z was to play a wave of running and bombing, disrupting the rhythm of the Pacers, and at the same time making Bird's planned tactics unable to play.

That's right, Garnett suffers from the top inside, but when the Knicks run, why shouldn't the Pacers suffer?

Both sides lose, it depends on who can afford to lose more. With the Knicks leading by so many points, of course there is nothing to fear!

Two minutes later, Li Wei pondered that it was time to adjust.

Garnett has been fighting Schmitz the inside, the consumption is too great, and he is likely to run out of energy in the second half.

However, just when he wanted to adjust, Bird took the first step to adjust. He replaced Schmitz with Antonio Davis and McGee with Jalen Rose!

"Yo, you're going to run with me?"

Seeing Bird's substitution, Li Wei wanted to laugh a little.

Garnett's consumption is large, and Schmitz follows Li Wei's small-ball lineup to play and run back, so why not consume much?

It seems that Bird is distressed!

In fact, in terms of substitutions, Larry Bird is the second most diligent this season, except for Reggie Miller, there is no second player on the team who has played more than 30 minutes per game!

As for the first diligence, of course it is Li Wei, 12 people will be rotated at every turn!

Since Bird is willing to accompany him, Li Wei will not be polite. Bruce Bowen should be able to limit Jalen Rose, and as for replacing Schmitz with Antonio Davis, who is 2.06 meters tall and has a poor offensive level, it completely liberates Garnett on the defensive end!

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks miraculously scored 45 points, and the Pacers only scored 20 points!

A gap of 25 points was opened in one quarter!

"It's unbelievable, the Knicks are back-to-back games, they are playing so energetically, just looking at this game, it's hard for me to imagine that the Knicks will lose 21 in a row!" Kostas said.

Bill Wharton said: "Bob, there is a piece of information you need to pay attention to, in yesterday's game, the Knicks' big Z and Nash did not play at all, and Garnett and Houston also played very little time!" ”

Costas said, "Are you saying they had a premeditated plan and saved enough energy to fight the Pacers today?" ”

Bill Wharton said: "It's hard to say, yesterday the Knicks also won, and it was a big win!" ”

Costas said: "It's crazy, it looks like the Knicks are going to win three in a row, and Li Wei will also beat Bird for the second time, well, the last time was in the preseason...... Isaiah, why don't you speak? ”

Isaiah Thomas said, "Now I just want to say one word, guess which one?" ”

Costas said, "Could it be - your dad or your dad?" ”

Isaiah Thomas said, "Haha, that's right, the Knicks won today!" ”
