Chapter 213: Thibodeau's 'Schadenfreude'

The Spurs surprised everyone at the start of the game, with Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Bowen and Horry.

Do you think such a lineup is going to fight with the Knicks for offense?

Wrong, that's a big mistake!

The Spurs fought with the Knicks at the beginning to do their best defensive ability, Horry's indiscriminate size was used to the extreme by Popovich, and the current Knicks, whether it is Bosh or Cott, or let Horry defend the bow peak after blocking and dismantling, is a maximum limitation.

Bowen didn't defend Hill, the core of the Knicks, but defended Allen, Duncan defended Yao Ming at the beginning, and Popovich didn't have a good way to defend Hill, but Ginobili himself defended ...... All I can say is that Ginobili at this stage has a fight with the defense of Divac at the peak, and Hill can only constantly fight with him.

On the other hand, the second dilemma faced by the Knicks is either to play with the Spurs or to make the Spurs score easily.

But no matter how the Knicks change, the Spurs follow one point, every offensive round is guaranteed to be about 20 seconds, and the Spurs' five-man defensive speed is definitely the top in the league.

The Knicks are a little overwhelmed in the face of the Spurs who do this, in fact, as long as Duncan is replaced by any star from other teams in the league, the Knicks will not feel so difficult, let alone completely led by the Spurs in this game, but when this person is Duncan, when all the Knicks offensive players are facing Duncan's serious help defense on the inside......

Jay and Hill, the Knicks' players with the most breakthrough ability, are a little constrained. Not to mention others.

Bow Peak faced Parker. Let's be honest. Gong Feng thinks very much about defending Bowen, but he thinks that he always has to limit the speed players of the team, and Gong Feng's self-confidence has been increasing during this time, and he also wants to touch Parker, who nominally restrains himself...... It's just that against the French sports car with full speed and state, Gong Feng can only complete the mutual explosion with Parker, but there is no way to limit Parker's play.

It was a game that the Knicks weren't prepared for, and the ugliest game the Knicks played so far this season.

The game between the two sides has always been in the rhythm of the Spurs. In the end, the Knicks couldn't break through to more than 85 points, and of course lost the final game.

Mill's originally good mood suddenly became extremely gloomy, because the Spurs in this game made a very obvious move when facing the Knicks' extremely complex movement, that is, when they encountered a block, they would change people to defend, and Duncan, who was at his peak, was enough to make up for any targeted defensive holes.

Gong Feng frowned even more, thinking about himself who was a little blindfolded...... Today's bow peak is too deliberate to control the tempo, and forgetting that rhythm has always been a characteristic of the Spurs themselves, and even Nash can't force his own rhythm to the Spurs, let alone in terms of controlling the tempo of the game. It's also slightly inferior to Nash's bow peak.

"Next time, or in the finals. If I touch the Spurs, no matter what three seven twenty-one, go up and attack directly, attack fiercely, if Lao Tzu wants to face the Spurs again, to organize the team to win the game, Lao Tzu will have the same surname as the Spurs in the future! Gong Feng could only say helplessly and fiercely in the end.

To be serious, the current Knicks' strength is somewhat of the same as the Spurs, but they are not completely controlled by the Spurs, and this game is seriously because the Knicks themselves are not prepared.

Because of the streak of victories during this period of time, the desire for victory has been a little numb, and the Knicks players think that as long as they follow their own pace and strength, they should be able to get what they deserve.

This is a good thing but also a very bad thing, the good thing is that the confidence and heart of the Knicks have become extremely strong, and the use of technology and tactics has become more and more mature, and the Knicks will continue to glue together to form an indestructible weapon.

But the bad thing is that once the rhythm can't be found, the main scoring point is still controlled by the opponent, and the outside three-point feel is not yet there, the Knicks will have a series of collapses...... The phenomenon that leads to the inability of the successor.

In fact, the Knicks should be very grateful to the Spurs for doing this, because in this league they can limit the current Knicks in this way, and now there is only Duncan of the Spurs.

This victory also made the Knicks take a serious look at themselves again, and Mill also had a new understanding of the use of Malone, and even had a very deep idea about the future cultivation of Bosh.

The Knicks are nowhere near their strongest.

Although objectively speaking, the Knicks should be grateful to the Spurs, but the Knicks, who completely lost a game, were not in the mood, only Thibodeau said goodbye to Popovich happily, because Thibodeau saw another Knicks that would shock the entire league.

"Hey, let you guys slack off on their defense training lately? Okay, now you know that sometimes only defense is the most reliable, right? Well, now I have a reason to improve my defensive training! ”

Regardless of Thibodeau's 'dark' thoughts, or the next two days of rest, the Knicks were tormented by Thibodeau's hellish defense, and the regular season game would continue.

On January 30, the spirited Knicks comfortably defeated the Celtics, who had a poor performance in this game, and the next day they will face the Suns at home in back-to-back games.

It's another league spotlight and the first face-to-face meeting between two of the hottest teams of the season.

The price of tickets for this game has also been speculated to a high price, Mir for some time ago, scalping behavior of the scalpers has been strictly stopped, this game requires proof of identity, only old fans certified by the Knicks can buy three more tickets, as for other fans can only buy up to two.

Although the Knicks rose rapidly last season, there are still very few new fans who buy season tickets, and now many people regret not buying season tickets, and some people even want to pre-purchase season tickets for the Knicks next season.

This is also D'Antoni's first return to New York, although in the pre-game reporter Q&A, D'Antoni was extremely controlling, just saying that he was doing well in the Knicks, but the people next to him were completely different, and Xiao Si had already publicly shouted on the side.

"Lao Tzu should be the best rookie player, and the Knicks should regret the most from the moment they sent me away......

It was too late for D'Antoni to stop Xiao Si's previous words, but then he hurriedly ended the Q&A meeting...... D'Antoni really doesn't want to face a Knicks who are all about going for Phoenix, and after spending some time here, D'Antoni certainly knows what a Knicks player can do when he is going all out against a team.

D'Antoni even made the decision to suspend him for one game after Xiao Si said that...... It's just that the direct broadcast of this game in the United States and even many regions, coupled with the importance of Xiaosi in the new management of the Suns, these pressures have turned this decision into a splash.

Gong Feng smiled when he saw the live interview, and even laughed very happily, crooked his neck, and didn't say anything when he moved his body.

After Ciel and Aaron glanced at each other, they also smiled, and then the two patted Yao Ming's back next to them, and left without saying anything.

Yao Ming and the three of them saw it at the same time, looking at the three of them a little silent, but first saw the performance of the body standing upright, and then smiled shyly.

The game against the Spurs did not remind many people that the run-and-gun tactic is just a tactic for the Knicks to play their strengths, but it is not a regular tactic for the Knicks!

In this game, Bosh did not play, Gerrard replaced him as the main force of this game, and the moment he saw Gerrard on the court, D'Antoni looked at Mill's very calm face, and then looked at the other three main players on the Knicks and the normal game looked much calmer...... (To be continued.) )
