On the court, Reggie Miller and Kevin Garnett were also trash talking.

Reggie Miller's physical fitness is average, and when he was a child, he was beaten every day by his sister, who was a year older than him. Let a girl not be able to break into the basket, she can only practice long-range shooting, and there is no one else. You know, he's an NBA-caliber player!

Of course, his sister is indeed demonic, she scored 105 points in a single game when she was in high school, and she is also one of the few female athletes who can explode in the game, and ordinary people can't meet such a sister.

If you face an ordinary defender, Reggie Miller, who is not physically good, can get rid of it with experience and wisdom, but Garnett is too tall and his arms are too long, obviously far away, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he got rid of it, but he is still hatted!

Miller, who has always been known for trash talk, must spray at this time: "Did you get caught in the door when you were a child?" Why are you so lanky? Oh, it's funny that you can play basketball with a spaghetti. ”

Garnett's trash talk skills are not as strong as they would be in the future, but it's impossible not to talk back: "You're the real spaghetti, you can pinch it as much as I want, and it's very soft!" ”

When the two were arguing, the Knicks were also organizing the offense, and Rick Schmitz was still shrinking under the basket and didn't defend himself!

But as soon as the three-in-a-row big Z received the ball outside the three-point line, the fans at MSG booed wildly!

Seeing that the whole audience was booing him, Big Z hesitated for a moment and passed the ball!

Li Wei couldn't help frowning.

It's only three consecutive irons, what do you preach?

Obviously the basket is good, it's still empty, you have no reason to pass the ball at all!

But he also understands Big Z's feelings.

As a newcomer to a home game for the first time, he was booed by his own fans, and the pressure must be great, so if you don't vote, you won't vote.

As the head coach, Li Wei will not blame Da Z, but decides to encourage him slowly after the game, believing that if he plays a few more games, Da Z will definitely be able to adjust.

It was Kevin Garnett who received the pass from Big Z, Alan Houston made a cover for him, the aging Mullin did not follow up after going around the screen, and Garnett hit the basket directly!

Seeing this situation, Pacers power forward and defensive basketball leader Dale Davis can only drop Charles Oakley and quickly make up for the defense!

It's a pity that as soon as Davis got in front of Garnett, he found that the ball in Garnett's hand was missing!

Charles Oakley gets the ball, there is no one in front of him, and he immediately hits the shot!

"Huh!"

The ball went in, Oakley scored two points, and the score was 4:0!

MSG's commentator Gumbell said: "It's really hard to defend Garnett with Mullin. People are younger than him, taller than him, and more handsome than him, and this long leg will go to the basket in one step, and there is no way to defend it. If Mullin had been ten years younger and more nimble, he might have been able to take on a challenge. ”

Fraser said: "Then who do you say to defend Garnett?" Dale Davis? His height is enough, but he defends it, who protects the rebound? Old Mullin can't rob Oakley! ”

Gumbell said: "In short, you can't let Mullin defend, otherwise Garnett will definitely blow him up!" ”

The commentator was talking from the sidelines, and the Pacers also started a new round of offense.

After the run didn't pull out the gap, the Pacers pulled away, and playmaking guard Mark Jackson had his back to eat Charlie Ward!

Mark Jackson is also a generation of wizards, although he is only 1.85 meters tall, he has a big butt and a first-class back-to-back skills, and the point guards in the league have all been eaten by him. In the 00 finals in his previous life, he even ate Kobe Bryant alone.

You know, Kobe Bryant was the best defender back then, tall and strong, more than ten centimeters taller than Mark Jackson, but Jackson was stunned and ate hard with his big ass!

There is also a very funny thing, that is, Mark Jackson often plays the opponent's guard with his back for more than 15 seconds in the offense, resulting in a very boring game scene, and the NBA official specially introduced the rule of "5 seconds violation of the back basket":

An offensive player must not dribble the ball with his back to or sideways to the basket for more than 5 seconds while holding the ball below the extension of the free throw line!

Another version of the rumor says that the "5-second basket violation" was introduced because of Barkley, in fact, 99 years after the introduction of this rule, Barkley was about to retire and was not restricted at all, so it is more appropriate to call it the Mark Jackson rule.

Knicks point guard Charlie Ward is very careful defensively, but after Mark Jackson sacrifices his proud (harmonious) buttocks, the All-American football star has no choice but to step back!

One step, two steps, three steps!

It's '97, and there's no rule for five seconds on his back, Mark Jackson doesn't have to worry about timeout, and the big ass arches frantically to push Charlie Ward all the way into the three-second zone, and then comes a turning small throw!

It's a pity that the Pacers had bad luck today, and Jackson Sr.'s trick also failed!

"Bang!"

The ball comes out of the basket, and Oakley picks up another board!

The Pacers immediately delayed the Knicks' fast break, Charlie Ward failed to advance smoothly, and the two sides fell into a positional battle again!

Big Z didn't stand outside the three-point line, but ran to make a block for Alan Houston, and it seems that he didn't want to shoot.

Alan Houston relied on blocking to get rid of Reggie Miller and shot the ball from outside the three-point line!

"Bang!"

The ball arced beautifully and landed firmly in the hoop!

Three points!

The score is 7:0!

The audience at MSG cheered together!

"It's three points again, the Knicks are always shooting threes today!" Gumbell Road.

"That's right, they don't rush to the basket at all, and the first choice for shooting is threes," Fraser said. ”

"This doesn't bode well, the three points are the least efficient way to score, and the closer you get to the basket, the more accurate you can shoot!" ”

Fraser said: "But we are the dominant side, the score is already 7:0. ”

Li Wei didn't expect that he could play a 7:0 on the opposite side at the beginning, it seems that the Knicks are lucky, and the Pacers have not scored several goals that should have been scored.

Seeing that Larry Bird was frowning, he laughed and said, "Larry, your team is so good, you can't even get a point, I can't bear to abuse you!" ”

Larry Bird had a cold face and didn't respond, he was thinking about how to adjust the lineup to change the situation.

Li Wei saw that Bird had the intention of substitution, and continued to tease: "In this way, I will take care of you as a substitute, so that you don't lose too ugly, after all, Dennis is your good friend, and I want to save him some face." ”

Bird glanced at Li Wei and said loudly: "You save it, it's only been a long time, and we will be able to turn the tables in a moment!" ”

Li Weidao: "You are a person who wants to die to save face and suffer crimes." If you can't even get a point, don't hold on. I'll be on the bench right away, it's just a friendly game, we won't take it too seriously! ”

"Bah, you can't win if you're serious!" Bird scolded.

Next, the Pacers attacked, Charlie Ward was whistled for a foul during the steal, the offensive team re-served, and Li Wei took the opportunity to make a substitution.

When Bird saw Li Wei's substitution, he secretly thought in his heart: This dwarf is too shameless, he was on the bench so early. I believe that when the Pacers score next, he will also be ashamed to say: "I'm playing with you with a substitute, let you!" ”

Bird was right, Li Wei played with this idea.

From the experience of previous lives, the Pacers this season are the second-strongest team in the league, and the probability of the Knicks winning is low. Since you have played a dream start of 7:0, it is better to quickly occupy the high ground of theory, so as not to find an excuse after losing!

As for winning, that's not to mention – Larry Bird can't even beat our bench, and I'm helpless!

The Knicks replaced Oakley with Bo Outlaw, Charlie Ward with Nash and Alan Houston with Jeff Hornacek.

Turning his head again, he found that Bird was also changing, Schmitz was about to get off the field, and Li Wei immediately replaced Big Z with Big Ben!

In fact, in the last game against the Wizards, Big Ben's performance was not good, and Li Wei took a big risk to replace him on the court. But the preseason is a place to train, and he can't afford to save face without giving Ben a chance to exercise.

The Pacers switched to Derrick McGee to defend Garnett.

At 2.06 meters tall, Derek McGee is one of the kind of tall small forwards who is also a defensive stalwart, and has twice entered the All-Defensive Team in a style somewhat similar to that of the later Sean Battier.

Gumbell said: "The Knicks' main players are all gone, and there is only one Garnett left. Bird sent McGee to defend Garnett, this arrangement is very reasonable, as long as this is strangled, it may be difficult for other substitutes to open up the situation! ”

"McGee won't suffer too much in terms of height, and his experience is useful, so we'll see if Garnett will be limited by him," Fraser said. ”

The two hosts were looking forward to the peak showdown between Garnett and McGee, but they were disappointed, Garnett had no intention of beating McGee at all!

The Knicks' benches on the court are running a figure 8 tactic!

The so-called figure-8 tactic is a classic tactic of the 73-win Warriors in the previous life, that is, two inside lines are mentioned in the high post, and then two shooters circle around them in a figure-8 shape, looking for three-point opportunities.

Since it was two shooters running together, covering each other, plus two big men were also covering, it was very difficult to defend!

Of course, the disadvantage of this tactic is also obvious, that is, the inside line is mentioned in the high post as a cover, it is difficult to get rebounds, if your shooter is not accurate enough, the result will be a cheat!

It's a gambling tactic!

The reason why the Warriors dare to play like this is because they have two top three-point shooters, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and they are not afraid of being pitted. If Curry and Tang Shen are trapped, they can only admit it.

Li Wei dared to copy this tactic, and he was also confident. The Knicks have more than two top three-point shooters, and Hornacek on the court is a two-time three-point contest champion in his previous life, not to mention Nash, who has entered the 180 club four times.

If the two of them are pitted with three points, Li Wei can only admit it!

In addition to being a top scorer, this tactic also needs an important role, which is to have a certain attacking power that can attract defenders, but also have the ability to organize and get the ball to the shooter in time!

Ben Wallace and Beau Outlaw both mentioned high post as a pile, and Hornacek and Nash circled each other to cross to cover the run, so the Knicks' ball-handling playmaker was Kevin Garnett.

Garnett's passing awareness is very good, and he can play power forward in his previous life and can have more than 5 assists in 6 consecutive seasons. Now let him play the role of Draymond Green in his previous life in this Knicks, be a high playmaker, feed the shooter, and it won't be too easy to brush up assists!

So he doesn't need to play other people's defensive giants at all, just look for opportunities to pass the ball!

Swish!

Hornacek ran out of the open space, Garnett's pass came immediately, and the father-in-law opened his hand to shoot, and then a three-pointer was accurately landed!

"Oh my God, the Knicks shot another three-pointer and went in again!" Gambell shouted.

Fraser said: "It seems that Madison Garden today may really be able to stage a massacre!" ”
