One, two, three, the limits of people
Horn actually relied on himself at this time and reluctantly organized the team.
Why do you say reluctantly! It's because Horn's behavior is spontaneous and has no tactical support from the team.
Without the running support of his teammates, Horn would not have been able to pass the ball to maximum effect.
However, when Horn combines passing and individual offense, Horn's individual offense is greatly enhanced, and Horn can use the pass as a cover to get better output space.
Horn was freed up and gradually revitalized the team, but at the same time, the Knicks' offense also played well.
The situation of the two teams is a confrontation, and neither team can stop the other for the time being, and the Knicks still lead by 11 points at 63:52 at the end of the first half.
The pit of about 10 points between the two teams is still the same, and the situation of the game is not that the Knicks are completely dominant, nor is it a counterattack by the Nets, but to maintain a Knicks who have an advantage but can't beat the Nets. Although the Nets are behind, they can hold the situation.
This situation kept the suspense alive, and the fans still kept hope.
In the middle of the court, Woodson was very painful, because he had calculated everything very clearly before, and the Knicks also played very well.
If it weren't for Horn's passing, the Knicks would have won by now, but now Horn has actually learned to pass the ball, and he passes so well that he can completely guide the ball into the Knicks' defensive space like a conning tower.
Woodson knew that he had to deal with this if he wanted to win, and he had to choke Horn, or at least make Horn not so free to win.
Woodson used his half-time time to design tactics off the pitch.
O'Neal on the commentary bench also said: "In today's first half of the game, the most important person for both sides is Horn!" ”
Chris Webber also said at this time: "It's true that Horn could only play the ball in basic organization and follow tactics before. To do this can only say that the player has the concept of organization in his head, but now Horn's passing depends not on concepts, but on talent, the talent of attacking graphics in the playmaker's mind. ”
"Horn had the whole stadium in his head today, and this is amazing! Horn has suddenly gone from a rookie organizer who basically just understands the concept of organization to a genius-level organizer. This is definitely the trouble of the Knicks today, and the next second half will depend on how the Knicks solve such trouble! ”
Barkley also interjected at this time: "If I were Anthony, I would use my ass to completely destroy Horn's willpower, and then the game would be won!" ”
"Hahaha!"
"The players of this era don't think like that, they're too weak!"
O'Neill finally teased this era, and the players of this era. O'Neill and Barkley were crazy, but they had a point.
In the new era, under the new rules, this new batch of players has come out, and there is really no domineering in O'Neal Barkley and their area.
Even the strongest players of the present generation, in the eyes of the players of the past, are protected by the rules like small flowers and grass.
The little general watched two quarters in the first half, and this time he finally determined that the big boss of Russia did not spend 13 million in vain.
A big man who is more than 2 meters, can organize, can project, and is fast, he is indeed worth the price.
Such a big man is not only worth the price, but also deserves to invest in the whole team and let the whole team build a strategy with him at the core.
The little general knows this! At this time, he also wanted to use Horn to expand the team's advantage, but the young general always felt that there was nothing he could do.
The little general is the one who came out of the spurs? Looking at his defensive arrangement, you can know that this man's tactical knowledge is sufficient. But he didn't make any achievements in attack, and after all, as a head coach, the young general has no talent?
What is a gifted manager? Popovich, Zen Master, Riley, this can always mesh different lineups together and play a systematic attack. You can also set up defensive tactics that suit the team.
Non-talented head coaches! Former Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown, junior general Avery Johnson, the like, has enough tactical knowledge but can't attack. It's not because they're intellectually deficient, it's certainly not, they've all seen and know what a good offense is. The reason why they can't design a good offense and use their offensive players well is a human flaw, and both the generals and Mike Brown are too dogmatic, so they will never be able to deal with the offensive problems.
Coaches like George Karl, Nelson Sr., and Danteney are too casual in human nature to never handle defense.
Defense has to be dogmatic, offense has to be flexible, so a manager who is too flexible will not defend, and a manager who is too dogmatic will not attack.
The little general is a dogmatic person, even if he wants to attack well and use Horn well, but I'm sorry, the limitations of his head are too strong. There's no way he's going to use Horn well, and there's no way he's going to make the Nets better.
Compared with the junior general, Woodson is also more dogmatic, but Woodson is stronger than the junior general, Woodson coaches the Hawks to play the main iron-blooded defense, and coaching the Knicks can immediately change to small ball, which shows that his mind is very flexible.
When Horn came back to the court midway through the second half, midway through the third quarter, Woodson really made a move.
Woodson knows that there is no one in this world who can prevent other people's passes, and has heard of defensive breakaways, defensive shots, but no one has ever been able to prevent other people's passes.
Woodson also knew that he couldn't defend it, so he could only choose one thing, just defend Horn's offense, and let him pass the ball if he wanted to! Woodson believes that the Nets' rotten offense is not something Horn can save alone.
Horn arrived on the court, and the Knicks were completely focused on defending Horn, Horn passed the ball out at this time, and the Nets' players had good opportunities, but the Nets' own players were unstable on offense at this time.
Once Horn was choked, the Nets' offense immediately began to become extremely unstable, and at the same time, the Knicks' offense continued to be very ferocious, and the Knicks finally opened the score at the end of the third quarter.
At 87:71, the difference between the two teams stretched to 16 points, and Woodson was finally satisfied with the score, believing that adding a little more strength would be enough to send the Nets to God.
And at this stage of the game, many fans also think that the Nets have reached the limit, and it should be the limit to fight with the Knicks with the strength of the Nets.
At this time, even O'Neal said: "The strength of the Nets is indeed inferior to the Knicks, and they have almost reached their limit now!" ”
