Chapter 199: Big Boss

In the second half of the first quarter, Hamilton's touch finally recovered, and under the counterattack of him and Billups, the score gap between the two sides narrowed, and the Knicks ended the first quarter 29-25. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When it came time to the rotation, Crawford led the bench to the Knicks' regular program.

It's just that after David Lee started in place of Channing Frye, who suffered an ankle injury, there was one less firepower point on the bench, and it was almost entirely on the outside.

The Pistons' bench lineup is still so-so, and it is McDyce who carries the banner.

In view of the characteristics of the Pistons, the Knicks also made arrangements, and Francis also kept a close eye on Billups, but Billups was more powerful in addition to offense, and in the process of Francis's defense, he passed a few good balls, and he had already assisted in double times before the end of the half.

It's also related to the Pistons' offensive tactics, most of their players shoot catch-and-shoot.

Led by Billups, the Pistons regained the feeling of a home team, but they obviously did not learn the lessons of the playoff failure, the Knicks attack can blossom more, but the strongest is that Lehi can take advantage of the opponent's weakness and kill hard.

When the team's offense was smooth, Lehi just blended in, but when the offensive momentum was a little inferior to the opponent, he stood up directly.

Just like James did with him, Lehi directly used his power to carry Prince two steps inside, and then hit it firmly in front of the three-second zone.

The difference is that the gap between Prince's strength and Lehi is much greater than the direct gap between Lehi and James.

If Prince had stepped inside, Lehi would have attacked the basket directly, and without Ben Wallace, the Pistons' interior would no longer be a no-fly zone.

In the face of Lehi's unreasonableness, Prince's defense was useless.

And Prince's offensive ability has weakened a lot in front of Lehi, who was originally a fixed scoring point for the Pistons, but now he can only occasionally use cover to shoot.

While Lehi showed offensive firepower, David Lee showed an excellent rebounding sense, grabbing frontcourt rebounds several times.

The Pistons' offense, led by Billups, was forcibly pressed.

After the Pistons' offense was suppressed, the score they managed to catch up with was pulled away again, compared to previous seasons, the Pistons' offense has improved a little, but the strength has declined, not only with the departure of Ben Wallace, but also with Rashid's gradual aging.

Without the advantage of the inside line, they are just an ordinary strong team with the firepower of the outside line, and they can be strong when they encounter a weak team, and the shortcomings of a strong team like the Knicks will be exposed.

By halftime, the Knicks were in control and leading 56-49.

At halftime, Pistons head coach Philip Sanders laid out the offense for the second half with a serious look, and the Pistons chose to keep him in order to make the offense stronger, and the same reason they abandoned Ben Wallace.

They're looking for a change, and they think the defensive side has gone to the end.

The Knicks are different, they need to look for better defense, and obviously both teams are not thorough enough to form an offensive situation.

Entering the second half, Hamilton ran more actively, and Prince was the same, but Prince was mainly to consume Lehi, and if he couldn't completely limit it on the defensive end, he could only consume it on the offensive end, but Prince's offensive means to consume Lehi were really unreliable.

Compared with the Pistons, who seized the opportunity to shoot after constantly covering, the Knicks were simpler, combining inside and outside, using strong points to attract defense and get offensive opportunities, although there was also cover, but it was much simpler than the Pistons.

Sometimes too complex tactics will consume a lot of energy to execute, and they are not as good as simple tactics.

Of course, you can get an attack with simple tactics, and you have to have strong players who can create chances with simple tactics.

In the league, only a big team like the Knicks can easily do this.

Seeing that the score was behind, the Pistons were still just a board, and they didn't have much scoring explosiveness.

And after the two sides entered the rotation, the Pistons almost fell into a scoring drought.

The ability of the bench players is not good, and it is always a hard wound for the Pistons.

By the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had a 13-point lead at 84:71.

After Lehi went down, Prince, who was still on the court, exploded and hit two three-pointers in a row, but Crawford immediately returned the color, and many times problems can be solved, and there is no need for the fixed one or two people to play desperately, which is the strong performance of the team.

The Knicks calmly changed the lineup on the court, and firmly grasped the lead on the court while maintaining the players' full energy.

After Li Hai played, he killed the inside line twice again, directly allowing McDeis, who was still on the court, to graduate.

Muhammad is just a pseudo-starter, Lehi knocks McDies down, the Pistons' interior problems are even less existential, and Rasheed Wallace is now completely less effective than his mouth.

At 4 minutes and 26 seconds, Lehi attracted the defensive ball to Marbury, who made a layup to make it 2+1, and after hitting a free throw, the Knicks' lead came to 17 points, and the game was out of suspense.

After the last two minutes of the game, the Pistons, who saw that they were not improving, changed to a bench lineup.

The Knicks beat the Pistons 113-95, Lehi scored 35 points, and the Pistons, once known for their defense, are gone.

The Knicks are on an eleven-game winning streak and continue their winning streak.

The next day the Knicks had to play back-to-back games, but they were back at home, and then the Knicks' schedule entered a lot of home games, and the away road did not stop their winning streak, and no one could guess if they returned to the home court.

When asked by a reporter whether Lehi Knicks would aim to set a winning streak, Lehi was very indifferent, "It's too early to talk about this, and we won't play for any record, we just try to win every game." ”

But even if Lehi did, there wouldn't be the backdrop for that team to be on a winning streak.

The visiting Raptors are also waiting for it.

This season, the Raptors are finally showing signs of rising, and they have made up their minds to change all the main lineups except for Bosh, so they also hope to stop the Knicks' winning streak and increase morale.

The current Knicks seem to be a big boss with a lot of experience, and all teams expect to beat them, which is also the time to test whether they are really a strong team, and the Knicks will not easily give up the victory. (To be continued.) )
