With O'Quinn's dunk and the whistle at the end of halftime, the fans at the scene obviously had not yet broken free from the shock of that dunk, and the Knicks' bench was boiling, and Grant grinned, stuck out his tongue, and made all kinds of grimaces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the name suggests, it is that two players in the march make a pass in the air, one player takes the lead in jumping, receives the pass from the point guard, attracts the attention of the defender, and makes a cover in the air, and the other player jumps off by covering and receives the pass of the first jumping player to complete the empty catch or layup.

The two players on the march are like dragons soaring out of the sea, and basketball is like a dragon ball frolicking in the mouth, so Wang Zhuo called it the "two dragons playing with pearls" tactic.

The tactical requirements are very strict, the execution is also quite difficult, not only requires good physical fitness, but also requires exquisite coordination, Anthony and O'Quinn have no problems with the bounce, and Anthony has a good ability to pass the ball and attract the attention of the defense, Noah mentions the bottom corner, pulls the inside line, Porzingis has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and the defender can't put him too far, which means that the opponent can't return to defense in time when the tactics are executed.

This is Wang Zhuo's own offensive tactics, although it is destined to not form a rigorous tactical system, but it is enough to open people's eyes, if there is no stunner ball, there is no doubt that this goal has been booked to the top ten of today's top ten goals.

The effect of this goal is not only to expand the margin to 16 points, but also to completely extinguish the fighting spirit of the Rockets players, the Toyota Center is dead, the fans are still like this, not to mention the players, even the head coach D'Antoni feels like hell, in his eyes, the Knicks' yellow-skinned head coach seems to be clever, no matter what tactics are arranged, the opponent can do the unpredictable.

Harden's eyes were glazed over, even more unfocused than when he watched his opponent go to the basket, and although he had a slight advantage in the matchup with Rose, the 16-point deficit at halftime made him feel like a chop.

"We haven't lost the game yet, this is our territory, and no one wants to go wild here......"

In the Rockets' home locker room, the players were all depressed, and D'Antoni tried to cheer up the players, and his tone involuntarily dropped as he spoke, because he also knew in his heart that the Rockets were doomed.

Not only that, at the end of the half, D'Antoni was stopped by reporters, asking why he burst into foul language at the last attack in the second quarter, looking at the big screen to accurately capture the lip shape, D'Antoni blushed his face, was speechless for a while, barely prevaricated, and then went back to the locker room in a gloomy manner.

Compared to the low morale of the Rockets, the Knicks players in the away locker room were jubilant, Van Gundy sat next to him, with a serious face, although the Knicks led by a large margin, but it didn't seem to have much to do with him, although he was in control of the game.

Ray Allen has always maintained a calm and humble look, which is accustomed to seeing the wind and waves on the pitch, and seems to not care about the score on the field and the win or loss of the game, only caring about being able to score goals when he comes on the pitch and whether he can contribute to the team.

"Jeff, say a few words!"

Before the start of the second half, Wang Zhuo wanted Van Gundy to say something to boost the morale of the players.

"Well, let me add two words, defense is always the foundation of victory, play well defensively, and victory is ours."

Van Gundy looked at Wang Zhuo, then got up and clapped his hands, cleared his throat, raised his voice as much as he could, and encouraged him in a slightly hoarse voice.

Under Van Gundy's world tactical system, defense is always the foundation of the team, so no matter what he emphasis, his emphasis is always related to defense, and it will never change.

In fact, the Knicks have already shown a strong offense in the first half, and the 16-point lead is ironclad proof, so the second half is time to show defense, and of course, it is also the stage for Van Gundy's performance.

When the whistle blew in the second half of the game, the Rockets took the lead in attacking, and Harden took the lead and rushed to the front court with the ball, which also showed his unyielding determination to reverse the situation, but he soon found that the Knicks' defense was like a cage, no matter how he ran, he could not break free from the encirclement of the defense.

Van Gundy's defensive strategy can be simply summarized into a few words: delay, supplemental defense, and card position, delay is to drag the rhythm to the slowest level, and supplementary defense is the player's rotation defense is very timely, and the card position is reflected in grabbing rebounds, often multiple people are stuck together to fight for rebounds.

At the same time, Van Gundy's team is highly disciplined, whether it is in the Knicks or in the Rockets, and the defensive system that has been trained can really be described as solid as an iron bucket.

The Knicks' style of play was very different from the first half, which made the Rockets' players very uncomfortable, and even Harden, a master of foul making, received two offensive fouls in a row when he broke through.

Similarly, the Knicks' offense was somewhat stagnant due to the increased defensive intensity, but that didn't affect the direction of the game in the slightest, as the Knicks had a 16-point lead and could afford it.

Despite the fact that there are run-and-gun tactics like D'Antoni, the Rockets' offense still can't be opened, and the situation on the court has become extremely ugly, and under Van Gundy's iron bucket defense, it seems that it is even more difficult to catch up with the 16-point gap than to climb to the sky.

Wang Zhuo sat on the bench, watching the Rockets crash like headless flies, and had to admire Van Gundy's defensive skills, but today's league pays attention to gorgeous offense, and even Popovich has learned to follow the trend of the times, and the trained Spurs are both offensive and defensive, so although Van Gundy's defensive system is very practical, his rigid and dogmatic character is destined to prevent him from integrating into the mainstream of the league, and can only serve as a defensive coach under Wang Zhuo.

The whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, the single-quarter score of the two sides was 17-18, and the Rockets struggled to recover a point, if it was frustrated at the end of the half, then it was absolutely heartbroken at the moment, and it took 18 points in the first quarter to go on, and if you want to recover 15 points in the fourth quarter, it means that it is impossible to limit the Knicks to only 3 points in a single quarter.

The outcome was a foregone conclusion at this moment, and in the end, the Rockets barely scored 20 points in the fourth quarter, losing to the Knicks by 5 points instead of winning, and unfortunately lost at home.

Although it was only a preseason game, the Rockets saw the Knicks' two completely different styles in the first half, the sharp offense in the first half and the suffocating defense in the second half, so that the Rockets' players really felt what is ice and fire, and what is in dire straits.
