"Well done, guys, but it's time to celebrate, and don't forget that you're playing against a Cavaliers with LeBron, so don't take it lightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

On the bench, Wang Zhuo praised the Knicks players for their talents, while not forgetting to remind the players not to let their guard down.

The Knicks players who were celebrating each other suddenly stopped, staring at Wang Zhuo with incredible eyes, they couldn't believe their ears, the head coach actually took the initiative to praise the team's performance, in their opinion, it was indeed the first case since Wang Zhuo coached.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Knicks players, the second half of the sentence is really in line with Wang Zhuo's speaking style, and they even think that Wang Zhuo's praise in the first half is purely to pave the way for the later words, after all, it is rare for Wang Zhuo to praise people, not to mention that this time it is to praise the performance of the whole team.

Due to Oden's presence, Tyronn Lue had to re-send Tristan Thompson to replace Channing Frye, hoping to increase the Cavaliers' interior height in order to improve the defense and contain the Knicks' offense.

Offense and defense are inherently complementary, Oden played, on the offensive end, pressing the Cavaliers to shrink the defense, creating a good opportunity for the Knicks to shoot outside, and the Knicks' shooters also lived up to expectations, and the powerful fast break opened the score in one fell swoop, and laid a huge advantage in the first quarter.

Of course, the Cavaliers are the defending champions and will not surrender easily, so Wang Zhuocai warned the players not to relax, and if they are a little careless, let the Cavaliers seize the opportunity to counterattack, and the 11-point advantage may be fleeting.

After the timeout, the players of both sides re-entered the game, and the return of Thompson allowed James to return to the small forward position, which is what James does best.

Adversity is the time to show the value of stardom, and James came back with a turnaround jumper that hit the center of the basket steadily, as if to blow the horn of a counterattack for the Cavaliers.

Anthony was also unwilling to let his advantage be ruined, hitting a back-to-back shot from the same position as James to hit back at his friend and rival James.

The Cavaliers tried to narrow the score, the Knicks tried their best to hold on to the advantage, the two sides played sparks on the offensive end, and the defense was also hand-to-hand, and before you knew it, the time came to the official timeout, and the score on the court neither continued to expand nor narrow.

After the official timeout, the two sides will enter the moment of rotation and the NBA game is not won by relying solely on the main team, especially in the crucial playoffs, the depth of the bench is even more important, and can even determine whether a team can go far.

The bench lineup of the previous championship teams is quite strong, even more luxurious than the starting lineup of a rebuilt team, such as the Warriors in the 14-15 season, and the Spurs and Heat further forward, the bench lineup is quite terrifying.

The bench lineup of the defending champion Cavaliers should not be underestimated, but compared with the Knicks, it is obviously a notch lower, after all, due to the restrictions of the salary cap, the salary space of the Cavaliers has long been filled by several big-name starters, and there is no way to add excellent bench players.

The Knicks' bench players dare not say that they are the strongest in the league, but they are definitely one of the best, the first three-point king in history signed in the offseason, Ray Allen, the first three-point king in the offseason, Jennings, who slashed 50+ in his rookie season, O'Quin, who has both offense and defense, and won Yi Jianlian and Oden in the middle of the season.

In comparison, the Cavaliers' bench lineup is a bit shabby, except for the reluctance of Shambaught and Frye, the rest are Jefferson and Dunleavy and the like, which are not comparable to the Knicks at all.

The Cavaliers' slight weakness in the late part of the regular season is not unrelated to the lack of a bench lineup, which has overwhelmed the main players during the long season, and the bench has not been able to fill the vacancy, so weakness is inevitable.

Before the end of the official timeout in the first quarter, the Knicks relied on Wang Zhuo's tactical arrangement to achieve a double-digit advantage, and the rotation lineup time may be the moment when the two teams will fight or lose.

After the timeout, Tyronn Lue replaced James and let Irving and Love lead the bench to play, which is the Cavaliers' usual style of play, with 8 people in rotation, and at the beginning of the second quarter, Irving and Love rested, and James alone led the bench to survive the rotation time.

Wang Zhuo removed all the main players except Ross and replaced Ray Allen, O'Quinn, Jennings and Yi Jianlian on the field, the bench lineup of the general team does not require a strong defense, as long as the attack is enough, maintain the situation on the field, so that the main players will not fall into a disadvantage during the period when they leave the field.

Obviously, Wang Zhuo's lineup is full of attack power, and the defense is relatively much worse, and the purpose is obvious, that is, to maintain the advantage of the main force not to be erased.

Who knows, the situation was completely unexpected by Wang Zhuo, this lineup played an unexpected effect, Rose and Jennings played an excellent combination of two point guards, and the Knicks' passing ball was like a cloud.

Not only that, O'Quinn and Ray Allen also have the ability to pass, so that except for Yi Jianlian, the other four players can all lead the offense, and everyone has the means to shoot three-pointers, you can imagine how terrifying this is, more terrible than the five-small lineup.

Rose and Jennings frequently threaded the needle on the offensive end, Ray Allen fired frequently at the three-point line, Yi Jianlian also played a good level, mid-to-long-range jumpers repeatedly hit the bull's-eye, O'Quinn contributed under the basket, and for a while, the Knicks' offense was like a rain, and the score reached 42 points in a single quarter.

Irving and Love can only rely on their individual ability to barely increase the points for the Cavaliers, but they are completely unable to curb the offensive frenzy of the Knicks bench group, on the basis of losing by 11 points, rotating lineup time, the Cavaliers lost another 7 points, and lost a full 18 points in a single quarter, and the game has a rhythm of entering garbage time early.

In the first half of the second quarter, he was still off the bench, and James played with heavy responsibilities, hoping to maintain the suspense of the game, but the Knicks' offensive momentum did not diminish at all.

Although James scored 8 points in 3 minutes, the Knicks continued to extend their lead to 22 points before the main team came on the court, and the game seemed to have completely lost its suspense, and it was the Knicks' super bench group that made the game lose suspense.

Substitutions to kill the game is another way to win. (To be continued.) )
