In the first quarter, both sides felt very good, no one restricted anyone, Gong Feng and Allen were replaced after the fourth minute, replaced by Jay and Battier, which is also a routine in the Knicks Finals, allowing their two leading stars to lead the benches to score on the bench.

Previously, this task had been given to Payton, but after Bow Peak returned, the substitutes of course preferred Bow Peak to lead them forward.

And after the old Nelson saw that the Knicks took the lead in substitution, his own side also changed, Adrian came on the court to replace Carter, and Carter and Terry were left on the bench, and the rest was enough as long as they focused on defense.

After Jay came on the court, the main organization was handed over to Hill, and Hill was facing Josh who was in his rookie period, and Josh's long hands and feet were indeed a kind of interference with Hill, but Josh definitely didn't dare to defend Hill closely, and he had to give Hill a certain amount of space.

Then the two teams began to play tactics, and after Kidd saw that Jay was in front of him, he didn't have much offensive interest, but just used the pass to guide the main players' offense, and at this moment, individual singles also began to have.

It's just that Jay's desire to perform is not very strong, especially after Jay receives the ball, when he deliberately uses passes to guide the offense, many people feel uncomfortable, which is also one of the reasons why the Knicks fell behind in the first quarter.

When Hill saw this, he saw that Mill didn't say or do anything, but just took over the responsibility of the organization, and all the players had begun to keep running according to the coach's arrangement, and opened enough distance to hand over to the points with high and low dislocations to play singles.

Both sides shot high in the first quarter, and after the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks temporarily led the Knicks by four points with a score of 35-31.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks' characteristic bench lineup began to appear, with Gong Feng, Allen, Korver, Dio and Payton on the court.

Payton is a power forward in this lineup, of course, his play is mainly to defend Nowitzki, and the rest is just a playmaking point.

The Mavericks also replaced Terry on the court, and the two sides also began the second round of running and bombing, which is what the old Nelson is best at and what he wants the most, but after looking at the Knicks' organization, Nelson still sighed.

At the end of the day, it's a rare thing to have so many organized people in this league together, and it's true that not every team can have a quick pass like the Knicks.

Although it was a Christmas game, the Knicks did not show much determination to fight in this game, and at the beginning of the second quarter, Mill began to make continuous substitutions as requested by the two assistant coaches, partnering with Gong Feng and others, and using a strong team like the Mavericks to hone their lineup.

The Mavericks' old Nelson also seemed discouraged, allowing the Knicks to experiment with the lineup without emphasizing the defensive ...... he hated the most Nowitzki and others are already very strong, but old Nelson also knows that what the current Mavericks lack is not what they can give now.

But old Nelson still felt very uncomfortable, as if his child had grown up, and suddenly became disobedient, and even took some of the previous golden laws as a deaf ear, and began to seek another change in himself!

The Mavericks' individual offense is indeed tough, but the Knicks are not lacking anything, and under the guidance of two master passers, the two teams presented an offensive feast to the fans who watched the game.

Yao Ming even collided directly with the big bamboo pole later, and the battle between the two NBA's tallest giants did indeed attract the attention of fans, of course, because the big bamboo pole felt really poor today, and the strength was insufficient, for Yao Ming, except for the 'line of sight' some obstacles, there was no big difference from other defenders. And the two teams that have no conflict with each other, although they will still attack hard, will also allow many players to constantly play their own defenders.

The collision between Bosh and Nowitzki, Jay and Terry, Carter and Allen, and Hill, Battier also came to practice defending Carter.

Because this is the first time in this season, the Knicks coaching staff is conservative, and they still let Gong Feng not play the full time he should have, but let him play about 28 minutes on the court.

The game played by the two sides is very much like an All-Star game, even more exciting than the All-Star, there is a wonderful individual offense and a strong defense, and both sides will do what should be done to defend, but because the relationship between the two sides is too good, the game is like no defense from the end of the second quarter to the eve of the fourth quarter.

It's just that the game is going to end eventually, and there must be a result, and the Knicks finally beat the Mavericks with a three-pointer from Jay and won the final victory 135-132.

……

"The approximate data has been extracted, which is similar to what we imagined, and Gong Feng's organizational ability has not been affected by injuries, there has not been any reduction, and even improved a little in my personal opinion, just because we have no time to rest, and we have to play a tough battle against Magic tomorrow, and today's players are too excited, I am afraid that it will affect tomorrow's away game."

"Don't worry! Houston is still recuperating and has not returned, and the Magic will not be strong enough, but in my opinion, the Magic team is also very big this year, and even a little overwhelmed and don't know what to do! ”

"Understood! It's just that some problems have also come out, we have found that some substitute players can play higher when they are with some main players, but the main lineup is fixed, so there will be some fragments in the time arrangement, which is not a strong news for us! ”

After hearing such an answer, Mir pondered for a while, and said in a clear voice: "The main force cannot be changed in any way, the fragmentation of time is a problem, but you have to connect with the future of the Knicks, do you know what I mean, some players are indeed excellent, but will he be the future of the Knicks?" ”

All the assistant coaches were stunned when they heard this, and Thibodeau and Gentry looked at each other, and what they had been thinking about was indeed not as far-reaching and realistic as Mir thought, but after thinking about it carefully along this line of thought, many people had already nodded their heads to express their support for this resolution.

"Our Knicks are certainly not bad for money in the construction of the team, but we can't recruit all the qualified stars in the entire league to our own banner, and some of the players in our hands are indeed very good, and other excellent players naturally have to give up at this time, not only because of the Knicks themselves, but also because of the will of the players themselves!"

After seeing the assistant coaches nodding their heads in agreement, Mill finally concluded: "We don't need so many assistant coaches to Orlando, what we need now is to assign each other's current tasks, I haven't thought about the specifics yet, but we do want to set up a group, and the only task of this group is to take a slightly long-term view, such as a year from now?" Two years? Three years? ”

"I haven't finalized the composition of this group yet...... All of you here who are interested in this kind of management have given me a signed report and put it directly into the hands of my personal assistant, and you have made it clear what I say? ”

Hearing everyone's understanding, especially some of them starting to shake their hands, Mir finally said, "Alright, that's the end of today's meeting, Thibodeau and Gentry, you two stay for a while, and we'll discuss the rest!" ”

……

'I'm not talking nonsense, it's a path we have to take, and since you're the most important part of our squad and you're about to board your plane for Auckland, I'm going to say what I'm going to say now...... What do you guys do about the Mavericks?"

"Very strong! It's just that for some unclear reason, neither of us is serious about playing in this game......"

"I'm not asking if the calf is strong or not, I'm asking if you have any thoughts on the calf's rotation?"

"Rotation of players? There are still players in this league who rotate on the court and are better than our Knicks? (To be continued.) )
