After the game started, unlike the Knicks' regular offense that started from the inside, the Magic used a headache to block and pick and roll from the start.

Maddie did not take the initiative to attack in the face of Hill's defense, but took the initiative to organize with his back to Hill, and Howard did not take the lead in the low post, but chose to constantly block and dismantle in the high post, and pull the inside line, so that the Magic's strong mobile attack ability showed a thorough.

On defense, Howard didn't want to have the slightest intention of 'learning', constantly going around to defend Yao Ming, forcing the Knicks to let Yao Ming keep coming forward to block and create opportunities for other teammates, including Gong Feng, of course.

However, the Magic's defense is not without holes, and after putting Howard in the high post, Lewis's blockade alone is still a lot worse, especially after Bosh is willing to face Lewis in the low post to attack.

The moment Yao Ming stepped forward to block and dismantle with Gong Feng, Bosh quickly moved to the inside, received Gong Feng's pass, and made a small hook to completely shake Lewis's defense, and at the moment when Maddie assisted in defense, Hill, who was far enough away from Maddy, received a pass outside the three-point line and was a three-point shot.

Hill has not been idle at all after getting the MVP, and the three-point shot has been a focus of Hill's practice in the past few years.

The current Hill has gone from a 32 percent shooting rate in the past to a nearly 45 percent shooting rate now, which is not an ordinary amount of hard work.

Although such a three-point shooting percentage is only obtained in the open position, once the Hill is strictly guarded, it will definitely decline, but for Hill, who is gradually becoming the fulcrum, as long as he is in the vacant position, it is enough to make the opponent very jealous.

The most difficult thing for the Knicks to defend is that no matter how the opponent defends, the Knicks will always get the point where they can score easily, and the reason why the Knicks' current main lineup is difficult to be limited is that this tacit understanding has been close to four years.

After the Magic saw Lewis's weakness against Bosh, they could only replace Nelson and replace Barty to strengthen the interior defense and strengthen the team's rotation, and Barty, who has the ability to shoot from mid-range, is also a major component of the Magic team.

After seeing Maddie receive the ball from the start this time, especially after seeing Howard return to the interior guard, the Knicks' defense also began to have problems.

Hill alignment became Lewis, and after the Magic aligned like this, their height advantage began to show, and when Howard didn't need to catch the ball and hold the ball to attack, it became the end point in the offense, even if Yao Ming's blocking ability was good, it was impossible to give up the blockade of Howard.

After Nelson went off the court, De Shawn became Gong Feng, a very physical defender, a young man with a lot of ambition and a lot of ideas, Gong Feng began to be constantly interfered with by him after holding the ball, and Gong Feng really fell into offensive problems in a short period of time.

After Maddie and Barty played a block and pick-and-roll, the Magic's options began to increase, especially now that Maddie's breakthrough ability is very strong, there are four more deadly options, and with such a strong offensive ability, the Knicks can do very little.

Although Bosh's movement and height can give Maddie a lot of interference, Maddie has too many offensive routines to choose from in the face of Bosh.

Without waiting for Mill to call a timeout to adjust, Gong Feng began to whisper to his teammates, and then began to change the offensive mode, becoming the Knicks' classic Hill ball-handling organization mode, and Gong Feng did not take the ball to attack for the first time in the new season.

Seeing such a Knicks, Big Van Gundy also stood up, and after making a gesture to his players, he did not make the slightest adjustment, and it seemed that he also trusted his players very much, and he also had full confidence in the classic tactics of the Knicks to deal with them.

It's just that after watching the Knicks' offense and defense this time, Big Van Gundy still used his fleshy hands to constantly beat something to relieve the pressure in his heart.

The Knicks changed their defensive strategy and began to use the rarely used three-person squeeze two-person squeeze defensive strategy, when Maddy held the ball and Barty made a block, Gong Feng gave up his defensive object and hurriedly assisted in blocking Maddy and Barty's defensive route, Bosh and Allen began to delay Maddy's ball holding, almost the two completely gave up other directions, and bullied Maddy's activity space for the first time.

The effect of the first use caused the Magic team to make mistakes, and in the second round, after Howard hurried over to support, he had to hold the ball in the low post to face Yao Ming's defense, which is also Yao Ming's favorite defensive method, which is another point of the Knicks' defensive strategy, that is, to make Howard a transfer point, not the terminal point that keeps moving and causing the Knicks a big headache.

After the single Yao Ming was unsuccessful, Bosh stuck to the position, took the rebound, and began the Knicks' attack.

If there is a problem with the Magic's offense, then soon, the Magic's defense also has a fatal problem, Hill is facing Maddie's defense with the ball, the two are very similar in that they both have a strong back organization and offensive ability, but one is at the peak, the other is already in the decline range, Hill wants to rely on his ability to break through the mentally concentrated Maddie, it seems really difficult.

However, after Hill held the ball, he completely liberated the running between Gongfeng and Allen, and the quick shooting after the two received the ball, and even the shooting after hitting the hand feeling is the strongest part of this lineup.

Yao Ming began to move constantly in the three-second zone on the offensive end, without the intention of being active, but constantly making the Magic's attention not fully focused on the outside, and also reducing Howard's defensive power, Yao Ming's deterrence in the low post does not belong to the simple category, and the Spurs ignored Yao Ming's growth and lost the game in the key games.

Of course, even so, Barty, DeShaun, and Lewis's defensive ability should not be underestimated, if the Knicks just want to rely on blocking, moving, and running to get space to shoot, it is really not an easy task, but how can the connection between Hill and Bow Peak be so simple?

When Allen and Gong Feng received the ball, the second reaction was the most complex and changeable in this tactic, and it was difficult for many teams to defend, even if the Magic team had prepared for it, but what they didn't expect was that Gong Feng began to change after the season, and when this tactic appeared again, it became more and more complex and difficult to solve.

After watching the first quarter end, after the two sides did their best, the Knicks stretched the score to 10 points in just three minutes, and Da Van Gundy finally made some simple adjustments with some distress.

In the second quarter of the bench, the Knicks then showed their strong bench ability, Paul, Allen, Battier, Dior and Bosh.

Although the current Knicks have greatly reduced the playing time of Yao Ming and Hill, they have not given more opportunities to other rookie players, as long as the players under the main core system have no problems with physical fitness and injuries, the Knicks have not forced the rotation of players for about 25 minutes.

The regular playing time of these players in the core system has reached about 30 minutes this season, and a veteran like Knicks is more of a personal coach, and it is also a backup measure for the Knicks to avoid some trouble and some potential risks.

Ariza, Livingston and Bass only play an average of about eight minutes, and that's garbage time.

It is a player like Paul who has high hopes, and after coming to the team, he can immediately replace Livingston as the main rotation player, because of the relationship between Gong Feng, the playing time has been compressed to about 27 minutes, even if as long as Gong Feng is out of the court, it is Paul's time, even if Gong Feng and Paul can coexist, but Paul does feel a lot of pressure.

When there is pressure, there will be motivation, and the Knicks' bench lineup, even after the departure of many past and important rotation players, is the top range of the league, and the Knicks' bench lineup can not be wrestled with Orlando. (To be continued.) )
