Duncan's first time was in the low post to prepare for the inside attack, Parker came to the front court and immediately passed the ball to Duncan, and began to start the first time to cut the run, which is also a routine, Gong Feng followed Parker closely at this time, and others naturally began to pay attention to Parker who cut inside, running, blocking and dismantling after the substitution.

This kind of offense can't break the Knicks' defense, and the Spurs know this, but at the same time, Bowen suddenly started to run from the bottom foot, and after doing a pick-and-roll with Parker, he retreated to the bottom, and Horry also ran at this time, making a pick-and-roll cover for Barry.

The Spurs' previous offense wasn't easy, but it wasn't that complicated either. Tactics are not always as complex as possible, and sometimes the more complex tactics are created, the timing may be outdated. In the final analysis, basketball is a half-court cooperation of five people, especially for NBA players, such a large area is not large.

Maybe you make a small match and immediately have a good open space, but when you do it again and make another pass to find a better space, a team with a strong defense has already changed defenses, and you can see what it means for a basketball player to play resolutely.

However, although the Spurs seem to be extremely responsible, the two aspects do not interfere, and it depends on what the passer or tactical arranger thinks.

Just like this time, Duncan saw Barry open in three-pointers, and immediately passed the ball to the league's famous shooter, but the first time he received the ball, he didn't look at Bosh who was chasing after him, and Barry immediately threw the basketball out of his hand.

"Princeton? Spurs actually played Princeton at the beginning? Looking at the next Spurs, Duncan on the inside held the ball, and then all the players on the outside began to block and cut, after the typical Princeton style of play, the famous Barkley immediately shouted in surprise.

"Horry's main play turned out to be such a reason, but the most important thing is Duncan's ability to show, after this offense, Duncan has three assists, although the Spurs are much simpler than the king to play, and it can even be said that it is much more simplified, but the Spurs players play very resolutely and confidently after receiving the ball! The most important thing is that the spurs outside feel is really hot! ”

Although the two of them are their own representatives with gags, each commentator can't eat this meal without strong professional knowledge.

This time, it was not only the Knicks who moved the Spurs' interior line out, but the Spurs also gave Duncan more space to the basket and play. Although Horry seemed to be unable to keep up with Bosh's speed, Horry still adopted the tactic of letting Bosh shoot and not allowing him to break through.

The most reliable on the basketball court is the inside, whether it is a top star in the NBA or a beginner who has just learned basketball, the place where you want to shoot the basket the most is definitely under the basket. In the past, the Spurs pursued this rule, with Duncan as the absolute core, and then all the recruited players were for Duncan to serve, the outside three-point players were for Duncan to win space for the basket alone, Parker's speed and agility created a comfortable receiving environment for Duncan, and enriched a variety of tactical options.

Ginobili is the X-factor set by Popovich, his usual role is to lead the bench players to score on the bench, and when he is in the main force, it is after Duncan is slightly blocked, he begins to score in his own unique way, of course, in some key moments, Ginobili is the key to determining the outcome of the game.

As for the interior partner, it's simpler, the blue-collar type is defense, relieving Duncan's defensive burden, or having offensive ability to enrich the Spurs' tactics. Of course, the Spurs' toughest defense also starts with Duncan's cooperation with the front, so to speak, Duncan is the Spurs' heaven and earth.

But Princeton's style of play is completely different for the Spurs, Duncan needs to take on more responsibilities on the inside, although Duncan is still the absolute core of the team, but very different from the relatively single responsibility in the tactical rounds in the past, Duncan today has to show his true 'all-round'.

On the offensive side, when the players can't run, you have to play successfully, and when defending, because of the difference in the age and ability of the players, Duncan has to fill in at any time to wipe the ass for his teammates, and more importantly, Duncan is responsible for the team's organizational responsibility, whether it is to initiate offense or tactical selection, from point guard to Duncan.

To put it simply, Duncan's mistakes on this day are definitely not a minority, and this kind of tactic that has not been shown in the regular season and playoffs, the Spurs are obviously forced to the edge of the cliff by the Knicks, and it can be regarded as a tactical choice of last resort.

However, this tactical choice now looks very good, no one dares to give up the defense of Duncan, even if they know that this defensive effect is not particularly good, plus the running of a bunch of old fritters is also the peak, and it is really not easy for the Knicks to really defend.

The Spurs have not only made a lot of changes in their offense, but they have also made adjustments in defense.

In the first two games, the Knicks' offense chose to take an offensive posture on the weak side, what is the weak side of the Spurs? For the Knicks, the only place where Duncan can make up for it at any time is the strong side, and the defense of others? Is it strong?

In this game, according to the offensive characteristics of the Knicks, Duncan gave up the single defensive defense of Yao Ming and adopted a kind of joint defense, of course, this kind of joint defense is not the inside, but the three-point range of the Knicks, and the Spurs' control of the three-point line.

As for the basketball that passed to Yao Ming, it was no longer dominated by Duncan and supplemented by others, but the tactics of two people were chosen to quickly wrap up, so that Yao Ming fell into the encirclement the moment he received the ball, forcing Yao Ming to pass a pass with a high risk factor.

While increasing Duncan's range of motion, it also strengthens the flexibility and defense of the other Spurs players, allowing the Knicks to enter a situation where they can move forward and retreat. This can also be regarded as borrowing from Kwame Brown's own defensive tactics, and it can be regarded as abandoning the Spurs' inherent model of targeting specific people and specific defensive ranges.

However, the Knicks did not feel too much inconvenience because of this, and it was more said that the scoring method has changed, although it has become difficult to project and score, but the breakthrough score, coupled with the defense, the Knicks did not weaken at the beginning.

In the first half of the game, the two sides played a dead match, and the number of mistakes of the Spurs increased, especially Yao Ming also began to take the initiative to ask for the ball and take the initiative to attack, which completely showed what the league's super interior line is like.

Bag clips? Duncan uses a group of small men, not even two meters and one inside line, to defend Yao Ming is a forced strategy, for such a tactic, as long as Yao Ming is in a good position in the low post, how can it be cracked by the bag?

And wrestling with some small men under the basket...... This is really not a very difficult thing for Yao Ming, and only O'Neal and Duncan can really defend, or can only be regarded as trying to defend Yao Ming's inside.

At the end of the half, Yao Ming scored 18 points alone, with a shooting rate of up to 70%, and after the Spurs chose a new defensive method, the Knicks called a timeout, which was aimed at Yao Ming's how to attack and defend.

But Popovich seemed to give up on Yao Ming, and in the half game, he adopted the tactics of small man defense, going around the front, wrapping anything, just not letting Duncan defend Yao Ming, which was a complete liberation of Duncan's own offense and defense in this game.

As for the Knicks' bench strong lineup, the Spurs' response is also very simple, send Muhammad and Rasu on the court, and no matter what else, on the court is to run at any cost, artificially expand the defensive area on the outside, and the other point is to grab the rebounds in the front court with all their might, protect their rebounds, and the scoring is dealt with by Ginobili and Parker.

This approach really made the Knicks feel uncomfortable, especially seeing that the veteran Muhammad, who had only played 7 minutes, was already tired like after playing the whole game, Gong Feng was temporarily shocked by this desperate attitude of the game.

These can only be regarded as small sections, and the Knicks have many ways to deal with it, but the Spurs' killer feature is hidden until after Yao Ming came on the game in the second half. (To be continued.) )
