Li Wei frowned and looked at the situation on the field.

At present, most teams are facing the Knicks, and the strategy is similar, that is, you vote for yours, and I fight mine!

Yes, most coaches don't think that Li Wei's three-point-based style of play is the correct way to play, so there is contempt in his heart, and he tends to be conservative in both offense and defense, which also gives Li Wei more room to play.

In many games, the Knicks played fiercely, not because of tactical problems, but because the newcomers were too iron and unstable!

But today, the Pacers targeted the Knicks, and judging from their defensive system, Larry Bird really did a lot of hard work!

Mark Jackson scored two points with a mid-range shot, and the Knicks attacked and missed a three-point shot!

After another hit, Reggie Miller scored two more points!

For several rounds in a row, the Knicks were losing!

Costas said loudly: "It's 13:3 in the blink of an eye, the Pacers are really in good shape today, the momentum is like a rainbow, the Knicks were beaten a little embarrassed, and it only took 3 minutes to give the family a 10-point lead." ”

Isiah Thomas said: "Did you notice, the Pacers' defense was very big today, this is a clear three-point defense to defend the Knicks!" ”

Costas said, "Don't say it, it's true. And they completely gave up on letting Rick Schmitz protect the basket, leaving Dale Davis alone. Although Dale Davis is a little shorter, he is agile and can do better than Schmitz in grabbing rebounds and protecting baskets! ”

Isiah Thomas said: "Yes, Dale grabbed the rebound again, it's beautiful!" ”

Costas said: "Coach Lee is going to make a substitution — what, they brought on Stephen Jackson, Bruce Bowen, and Bo Outlaw? Ten points behind, actually let Stephen Jackson play? ”

This season, although Stephen Jackson has improved a lot, he is still the most inconsistent player in the entire Knicks, and most of the time he brushes up on the data in garbage time.

It's not his fault, he's not yet 20 years old. Not every 19-year-old can be as perverted as LeBron James, and the Celtics' Billups is 21 years old, and he still plays poorly?

Growing up requires a process, and Kobe Bryant and Maddie, who are the pride of the sky, are going through this process, and so is Stephen Jackson!

Knicks fans also didn't understand Li Wei's decision to replace Stephen Jackson, and boos rang out!

Stephen Jackson ignored the reaction of the fans, and when he got to the court, he grabbed Charlie Ward and said: "63, 43, 45 and 22, I will play 1 when I execute 22!" ”

Charlie Ward was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

What Stephen Jackson told him was the tactics that Li Wei asked the team to implement next, and these tactics were all based on Stephen Jackson's singles!

At the same time, Bo Outlaw also came to the front of Big Z to explain the tactical arrangement, and added an additional sentence: "David said, as long as Rick Schmitz is defending you, focus on you and Stephen's blocking, and concentrate a little." ”

"Okay." Big Z nodded.

Knicks offense, No. 63 tactics.

This is a small forward single-based tactic, Big Z came over to block and dismantle the first time, and Stephen Jackson broke through with the ball!

In fact, Li Wei very much agrees with Bird's defensive arrangement today. In this era of emphasizing rebounding protection, Birdken has four people outside the three-point line, and you have to admit that he is very bold!

And this style of play, which strictly guards three-point and baskets, is a bit similar to the defensive system of the Spurs in the previous life.

In addition, having the faster and more agile Davis defend the interior instead of Rick Schmitz also reflects Bird's forward-looking vision.

Even though there aren't many big and four small ways to play in this era, Bird still understands the importance of mobility in moments like these!

The only weakness of this defensive system is that Rick Schmitz is too slow to move after the defense!

The big center guards under the basket, and the slow movement does not affect anything, after all, there is only a little square inch under the basket, and no one can avoid it.

But outside the three-point line, it's absolutely fatal to move too slowly!

At this time, on the court, as soon as Big Z blocked and dismantled, Stephen Jackson stepped into the interior, and Rick Schmitz didn't have time to change the defense!

Dale Davis can only come over to make up for the defense, Stephen Jackson is not deadly, and the referee's whistle blows!

Fouls, two free throws!

"Hmm." Seeing Stephen Jackson win a free throw, Li Wei nodded.

The reason why he replaced Stephen Jackson was to use his impact.

Although Nash was a breakthrough madman in his previous life, in this era when the rules of hand-pushing people still existed, he really couldn't take advantage of it. As for Houston and others, they prefer shooting rather than physical confrontation.

Compared with the other outside lines of the Knicks, Stephen Jackson's skills are a little rougher, but the 19-year-old body is very strong and full of momentum, and Li Wei deliberately replaced him to disrupt the game!

Didn't you Pacers try to kill my threes?

Then I'll break through and kill you!

Of course, Li Wei also knows that Stephen Jackson is inexperienced, and his performance is more convulsive, and if he doesn't get it right, it will be self-defeating and can't achieve the desired effect.

But that's okay, you don't dare to train players in the regular season, who else can you count on in the playoffs?

Besides, even if Stephen Jackson doesn't do well, it's nothing. After a while, he will be off, Garnett and the others will have rested enough, and the main force can have another round of impact!

Stephen Jackson hit both free throws, and the Knicks pulled back two points!

The Pacers attacked, and they ran a very clever new tactic that Bird had deliberately designed for this game. The ball went down three times and two times, McGee got the open space, and then scored!

At 15:5, the score was pulled back to 10 points!

The Knicks attacked, and this time it was the No. 43 tactic.

In Li Wei's playbook, the first few tactics of the 4 are that the forward breaks through with the ball to attract the attention of the defense, covers without the ball on the weak side, and transfers the ball through long passes on the strong and weak side to create a three-point opportunity in the bottom corner or at a 45-degree angle.

Now that the Knicks' three-point defense is very dead, of course, there is a better chance, and the forwards who don't have a chance to break through will go on their own!

After two off-ball screens, Charlie Ward passes the ball to Stephen Jackson!

Reggie Miller came over in time to change the defense, but Big Z came over again!

Stephen Jackson hit the basket again, and Rick Schmitz chased after him and couldn't catch up!

Dale Davis just fouled, this time he didn't push too hard, Stephen Jackson saw that the weak side did not help the defense, and immediately threw the ball!

The ball brushed twice in the basket and then fell very reluctantly!

Two more points, 15:7!

The Pacers attacked, this time their routine was more mediocre, and they were defended by the Knicks' tough defense, and then the Knicks implemented the No. 45 tactic, and Stephen Jackson played again!

A few rounds go by in a flash!

Overall, Stephen Jackson's performance was not too impressive, but he did not suffer either, and he used his impact to keep the score gap between the two teams at around 10!

Look at the first quarter more than half of the time, Stephen Jackson is already very tired, Li Wei raised his hand again and replaced!
