The Pacers have a big and four small lineup, Ellis and George Hill play guard, and Myers plays small forward, so George has to mention the position of big forward to make the team more flexible as a whole. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the normal rotation time of the second quarter, Wang Zhuo rotated the bench step by step, but when the main force came on the court, Wang Zhuo arranged for O'Quinn to replace Lopez on the court, O'Quinn has a strong body, super long arm span, flexible feet and passionate play, with him to defend George, he can completely press George to go outside, forcing him to stay away from the basket and shooting comfort zone.

In this way, George's lack of ability to hold the ball has been highlighted, and more importantly, George has been unable to find a long-range shot in this game, which greatly reduces the pressure on Anthony on the defensive end and allows him to devote more energy to the offense.

O'Quinn played a surprise role when he appeared on the court, George had no advantage in height and arm length in the face of O'Quinn, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity for mid-range shooting, so he could only retreat to near the three-point line, O'Quinn followed Wang Zhuo's instructions, as long as George retreated to the three-point line, he would put him a meter away, George caught the gap for three points, and shot directly at the back edge of the basket, Porzingis grabbed the rebound.

When the Knicks passed the ball to Porzingis on the offensive end, the Pacers did not hesitate to wrap it up, giving up defense against O'Quinn, who was a little rough offensively, and Vogel clearly ignored O'Quinn's mid-range shooting skills and three-point shooting ability.

O'Quinn seemed to be there to slap him in the face, but Vogel's strategic abandonment stimulated his senses, first with a mid-range jumper to help the Knicks equalize, and after forcing George to make a mistake, a fast-break three-pointer directly blew up the Knicks' bench, forcing Vogel to call a timeout.

After the timeout, Vogel replaced Jordan Hill, and the targeted defense of O'Quinn with a similar style of play seemed to have no problem, and after the timeout, George singled Anthony with his back near the 45-degree angle, and turned and hit a jumper to stop the bleeding for the Pacers.

However, due to the appearance of Jordan Hill, George could only return to the position of small forward, so that the Pacers became a traditional two-to-three lineup on the court, and the Pacers' line on both offensive and defensive ends could only shrink inward, resulting in more three-point shooting opportunities on the outside of the Knicks.

O'Quinn didn't get an open shot after Jordan Hill came on the floor, but his impact was profound, and his fast-break three-pointer was like an instant opening for the Knicks players, first Anthony hit a three-pointer with a cold hand and a half, and then Calderon hit another shot in the bottom corner of the perimeter.

What's more fatal is that the Pacers' offense has encountered obstacles, Jordan Hill, who has no three-point ability, has dragged down the Pacers' fast offensive rhythm and can only fall into the halfcourt.

"If you're a Knicks player, you should remember that damn 'Miller moment,' and from this day forward, Madison Square Garden is no longer a battlefield for superstars, it's a graveyard for their records!"

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the timer at the Madison Square Garden Arena showed a score of 65:58, and the Knicks led by seven points.

As a Knicks player and fan, I will not forget Reggie Miller's 8.9.8 minutes moment, and this classic moment is set against the background of the Knicks, so Wang Zhuo hopes to motivate the players to show a better game to deal with the Pacers' counterattack in the second half.

After the start of the second half, Vogel decisively stopped using Jordan Hill, continued the lineup of one big and four small in the first half, and had to maintain a smooth offense when chasing points, but he didn't expect Wang Zhuo to directly change the starter, directly abandon Lopez, and promote O'Quinn to the starting position.

O'Quinn's excellent performance in the first half made the Pacers players dare not let him go anymore, so that Porzingis, who lost the bag, was like a tiger out of the cage, with an inside hook, a mid-range shot, and even a quick counterattack to chase three points, which forced the Pacers' defense into a hornet's nest.

O'Quinn's role is much more than that, when the game enters the rotation time, O'Quin's fiery hand can't be extinguished, and he has become the main scorer of the rotation lineup, given this performance, Wang Zhuo believes that Lopez has no need to play again.

The Pacers are like rats in the bellows at the moment, blocking this side, but can't block that side, Vogel has no choice but to restart the oppressive defense he is good at and curb the Knicks' tidal attack, but since then, the inability of the offensive end has turned the Pacers' scoring speed into a snail.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks' lead had reached 12 points, and the Pacers' tight defense reduced the Knicks' offensive efficiency, but Wang Zhuo simply let himself go with such a trick of killing the enemy with a thousand self-losses and eight hundred.

"The Pacers have fallen into a strange circle, and if I were Vogel, I would just say that the New York routine is too deep, and I want to go back to Indiana!"

During the official pause in the fourth quarter, Su Que said jokingly in the live broadcast room, which made Kefan laugh.

"Indiana isn't having a good time, Vogel's coaching model is no longer suitable for this Pacers team in transition, I wonder if Larry Bird will make a surprising choice after this season!"

After telling the joke, Su Que suppressed his smile and solemnly predicted Vogel's fate as a veteran basketball critic, maybe the future is really as he said, Larry Bird will no longer choose to renew his contract.

It all came later, and in front of him was Wang Zhuo leading the Knicks to slaughter the Indiana Pacers by 15 points before the start of the All-Star Weekend, winning the opener, and at the same time showing off his coaching talent to the outside world, and completely silencing the doubters by choosing Porzingis-style methods.

Kyle O'Quinn scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting, a proper bench wonder, and Wang Zhuo didn't have time to celebrate the victory, because there was still a long way to go, and he had to lead the Knicks to the playoffs.
