The Trail Blazers were dazzled by this barrage of three-point shots!

The score gap opened up to 9 points again, and the Trail Blazers were made a mess by this series of three-point rain, and there was an incredibleness on everyone's face, the Knicks' three-pointers seemed to be out of order, but if someone looked closely, they would find that there was a word in every shot they made: fast, absolutely fast.

Hitting those shots in a row, the Knicks didn't even use up three minutes.

The situation took a turn for the worse in an instant, and the audience next to the basketball court was cheering, and everyone was exclaiming and celebrating the Knicks' breathless three-point shots. At this moment, the entire arena was in a state of boiling, and this three-point shot completely claimed the morale of the Knicks.

In fact, just now the Trail Blazers have started some defense against the Knicks' offense, such as the cooperation between Zhang Chen and Randolph just now, if it weren't for the tacit understanding between the two of them, although they don't want to admit it, but it really exists, the ball decision would not have been so easy.

Roy received a pass from the baseline and slowly controlled the half, and outside the three-point line, he took the basketball with his right hand, and then began to point with his left finger to get the people inside to their own positions. A positional battle has begun, and after Roy's left finger point, the Trail Blazers' inside and outside lines are in good shape. Then, Roy quickly passed the basketball to Miller, who came to pick up, and he ran inside himself.

Zhang Chen followed Roy's side, and soon, Miller distributed the basketball to the inside power forward after a break, Randolph's defense was tougher this time, but unfortunately the opponent still put the basketball into the basket under pressure, and the Trail Blazers recovered two points, and the score gap was still seven points left.

The moments of hearing the basketball and the hoop colliding and seeing the basketball spin towards the basket, the Trail Blazers had rediscovered their rhythm and their offense was back on track after a brief stalemate. Zhang Chen once again controlled the ball and returned to the half, but the Trail Blazers' defense had begun to change again, and their defense had become down-to-earth again, and everyone was able to find their own defensive object and work the ground. The Knicks quickly ran into small troubles in such a defensive state, and the Knicks' fast break could no longer be opened.

The Trail Blazers' defense has cut off the Knicks' offense, and the Knicks' speed has lost its market, because the Trail Blazers are always able to grasp the next move of the Knicks' players in advance. Under the-for-tat of the Trail Blazers' targeted defensive tactics, the Knicks' offense has a bit of a problem.

Still, there was occasional play, and the Knicks' players had fallen in love with that feeling of scoring with ease, so they all wanted to find their place. At the same time, when the team's offense is in trouble again, Zhang Chen and Randolph's offense can also solve the team's urgent needs, Zhang Chen can fire on the outside, with the action of the inside, Randolph can use his fat body to kill a bloody path on the inside, with the help of the two people, the Knicks are not too cupped.

In the sixth minute of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers quickly called a timeout, and they still trailed the Knicks by four points.

Back on the bench, Roy felt that he was very tired, and he had to try his best to cut off the opponent's passing route just now, which cost Roy a lot of experience, but Zhang Chen was a restless master, which accelerated Roy's physical exertion.

McMillan came up to Roy and said to him, "Blanton, how do you feel?" ”

"I don't feel very good, I think the Knicks' offense is a little weird, there's a feeling of not knowing where to start, as if I don't know how to defend their offense," Roy said. ”

McMillan gathered everyone and said with a smile: "Yes, this is normal, the Knicks' offense is very weird, I think everyone has experienced it now, I think I have found the reason for this...... That's one word, speed! yes, the moment they hit a couple of three-pointers, I almost thought we were fighting the damn Suns! At that time, the Knicks were very much like the Suns. Unfortunately, they can't be as good as the Suns because they don't have a good point guard like Steve, and as a result, they often become rootless duckweed when they attack, unable to find their way. So, our defensive strategy is still like what you just adopted, we can't mess around, we just use our own feet to defend and keep up with their speed at all times...... Then they will have nothing to do. ”

Roy and they all nodded obediently, they just found out that this is a good solution, the Knicks' offense is quite gorgeous, and they can often do something unexpectedly in a short split second, but the Knicks' roster foundation is too shallow, and the most important thing is that they lack a point guard who can really control the overall situation. Dujon is so far away from Nash, and that's the problem with the Knicks, because because of their point guard problems, the Knicks can't really find a way to unleash that kind of fast break.

"Of course, we still have to defend carefully, although we can find a way to contain their weird attack, but no matter how big or small, they can also surprise us, what we need is to figure out the situation carefully, try to block their fast attack, and at the same time, Zack? Randolph and Zhang Chen stepped up defensively, these two guys are very difficult to entangle, and we have to contain their attacks, especially that damn Zhang Chen, whose presence is a major threat to us. ”

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

On the bench on the Knicks' side, D'Antoni saw that many people were a little depressed when they came down, so he didn't say anything to blow, but said to everyone: "Guys, you guys did a good job...... Well, cheer up...... You did a great job of making the Trail Blazers guys feel pretty tough with a three-point rain in the game just now...... What could be more wonderful than this? You've done a great job of carrying forward what I've told you. ”

D'Antoni continued: "In the game just now, our players used three-pointers and quick offense to create a time difference that made the opponent feel very frustrated...... Our three-pointers tore through their defense, but then suddenly they seemed to find a way to restrain our offense very quickly, right? ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded, and this was a question they couldn't figure out, so they all turned their attention to D'Antoni, expecting his answer. D'Antoni smiled, and then said: "Actually, it's not surprising, it's not a big deal that the Trail Blazers were able to find a way to restrain us, we were really restrained by them, a large part of this is still due to the lack of tacit understanding between our teammates, and the lack of understanding of tactics, many tactics I don't have time to explain now, but I will slowly infiltrate them in future training, and now your top priority is to run...... Use your runs to counter their defensive strategies, and run to keep them out of your mind. ”

"Run?"

"Yes, it's about running, running as far as we can, running out of our position, running out of the Trail Blazers' formation, and when we move, the opponent often doesn't have much to do to catch us, as long as we can maintain that kind of state that tells the movement, the opponent can't contain us."

Zhang Chen took the lead in nodding, after all, he had been with D'Antoni for so long, Zhang Chen also understood what D'Antoni was thinking, D'Antoni wanted everyone to do what he wanted to do was naturally to find an opportunity, use running to open up the vacancy, and use running to tear apart the opponent's defense, but this kind of thing is simple to say, if it is really done, there will often be many problems, the most important of which is the collapse of the possible surname of the formation, they may let their formation be broken up in a mess during the running process.

Zhang Chen frowned, and then said to D'Antoni: "Boss, I think there is a problem...... Maybe our running is causing confusion in formation, isn't it? ”

D'Antoni said: "It could be a problem... However, we have established a little bit of an offensive framework, and we have to continue to improve this framework in actual combat, and the next problem is to keep honing in actual combat, so that our players move and run without the ball mainly on the interface between the inside and outside lines, Zach and David, the two of you had better find your position, don't run too much, otherwise your physical strength may not be able to stand it. And Danilo and Tatsu you two need to find their own offensive position in the run, of course, if Chen you encounter an offensive position that you think is good, you can also shoot directly. This requires Chris, you need to be more observant and find the openings where they appear, and at the same time, our tactical guiding philosophy is still the same as before, try to be as fast as possible, pass as much as possible, use the pass and speed to tear apart the opponent's formation. ”

"Yes!" The timeout was almost over, and D'Antoni put them all on the court, and the second half of the third quarter began.

The player with the first ball was the Knicks, Zhang Chen received a pass near the baseline, and then controlled and quickly walked through the half, at this time the teammates immediately put on an offensive formation according to their formation after training, Zhang Chen passed the basketball to Du Hong, and then Zhang Chen began to run.

Now Roy has already understood many of Zhang Chen's running feints, but he can see the flaws in Zhang Chen's feints to prevent Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen's running feints are thousands, Roy can prevent one and can't prevent two, Zhang Chen bypassed Gallinari again, and then found a vacant position.

"Pass!" When Zhang Chen ran to the vacant position, Du Hong didn't notice it immediately, Zhang Chen had to slap Du Hong to pass the ball, Du Hong reacted and hurriedly passed the basketball to Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen received the pass, and Roy immediately rushed up, because Zhang Chen's buffer in the process of asking for the ball and receiving the ball just now made Roy quickly find the gap and came to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen lost his best chance to make a shot, so he had to give up helplessly, but he happened to see Gallinari not far away next to him because of the entanglement between Zhang Chen and Roy caused by the whole body and got an empty seat, so Zhang Chen passed the basketball to Gallinari with a ground pass.

Gallinari received a pass from Zhang Chen again, faced the distant basket, did not stop, and shot.

This guy's three-point shot is still a bit accurate, and the basketball flew into the basket with a whirl, making the score difference reach 6 points, and at the same time, Zhang Chen's assists were brushed to 4, Zhang Chen got a lot of assists today.

"Good shot!" Zhang Chen and Gallinari high-fived, the ball still cooperated beautifully, Zhang Chen and they both found their rightful position. Gallinari was often able to shoot some beautiful goals when working with Zhang Chen, which made him one of Zhang Chen's favorite partners.

Roy saw Zhang Chen brush up another assist, saw the Knicks' score increase by three points again, his head shook, and said loudly: "Guys...... Give them back one! ”

The Trail Blazers have been trailing the Knicks by a few points, which has annoyed everyone, and before the start of this game, Roy and they all thought that it should be easy to take down the Knicks, because the Knicks contributed an epic four-game losing streak on the road against their previous opponents, which made the Trail Blazers think that the Knicks should be vulnerable as well.

In this way, the Trail Blazers also have to beat the Knicks, and this is not just a matter of record, but it has risen to the point of the team's face - other teams can beat the Knicks so easily, if the Trail Blazers drop the chain at this time, what will the league think of them?

Under the interweaving of various factors, the Trail Blazers are full of determination to win this game, but the point difference has not been able to catch up, and the Knicks' attack is quite effective, which makes them feel like they have encountered a hedgehog and have no way to eat.

The trouble for the Trail Blazers is the Knicks' chance, after Gallinari shot a three-pointer, another offense from the Knicks began, Roy received a pass from Miller soon after halftime, and then he used his teammate's block to throw Zhang Chen away to his side, and he slipped into the interior with a flat horse, and came a forward pull-up jump shot near the free throw line, and the basketball plunged into the basket with a graceful arc, adding two points to Roy's technical statistics, It also added two points to the Trail Blazers' score, though they still trailed by four points.

The Knicks' three-point shot was a mess that put the Trail Blazers in a difficult situation, and the power of the three-point shot in the game is obvious to all, and a single three-point shot can often save some endangered teams.

The ball was still controlled by Zhang Chen over the half, everyone was acting according to D'Antoni's tactical instructions, Zhang Chen came to the opponent's three-point line, and saw that the inside line could not find any opportunity under the defense of the Trail Blazers, so he suddenly dribbled around Gallinari, Gallinari's tall figure of two meters and eight meters quickly isolated Roy of one meter ninety-eight from the range of defending Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen bypassed Gallinari, and suddenly came to the other side outside the three-point line, and then he jumped high, Hands fired in the direction of the basket.

"Huh!" The basketball crashed into the net, which made Roy punch the air hard, Zhang Chen's three-point shot is always so hateful, often in the moment when they don't have time to react, Roy They feel very headache about it, but there is no better solution, after all, Zhang Chen can always find all kinds of ways to find a chance to make a shot, such as now.

At the same time, Zhang Chen also has a three-point shooting rate that makes opponents fearful, in the last season Zhang Chen even let his career three-point shooting rate soar to 65% for a while, but later the league's coaches increased their attention to Zhang Chen, which also made his three-point shooting rate drop a lot, even so, even if Zhang Chen does not have a better point guard partner now, and he can't find a good vacant shooting opportunity, but his three-point shooting can still be maintained at about 51%, That's enough shooting percentage to make a lot of so-called three-point shooters swallow their mouths.

Zhang Chen hit another three-pointer to bring the gap to seven points, and the Trail Blazers quickly took a front-to-head rescue measure, and they also hit a three-pointer from the outside to pull back the three-point score.

Switching offense and defense again, Zhang Chen slowly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt and came to the three-point line, his speed was very fast, and he had come to the half court in an instant, at this time the Trail Blazers' interior line had not yet been fully formed, and the Knicks players suddenly began to run disorderly, except for Randolph and David Lee on the inside who only moved slightly, the running of other players immediately made the Trail Blazers have to take defensive measures to limit their running.

Taking advantage of such a little time and such a little opportunity, Zhang Chen suddenly started at a forty-five degree angle on the right wing outside the three-point line, his body seemed to be wrapped in a violent wind, and suddenly fought into the inner line, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a white lightning, breaking through the free throw line in an instant, and the opponent immediately blocked it.

It's just that under the chaos caused by the running of the Knicks' players, the strength that these people can completely use to defend Zhang Chen is quite limited, Zhang Chen came to the inside line and accelerated again, and in the leisurely stroll of his footsteps, he had already passed by the opponent's power forward, and quickly came to the basket.

"Stop him!" Roy yelled out in a bit of frustration, but the opponent was completely too late to defend Zhang Chen at this time, Zhang Chen came to the bottom of the basket, slightly compared with the opponent's center, and then he glided a little distance in the sky, and then slammed the dunk.

"Bang!" The basket was slightly shocked and protested, and Zhang Chen stood under the basket like a god of war in the nine heavens.

Zhang Chen's slam dunk once again added a fire to the Knicks' now higher and higher morale, everyone was full of energy, and everyone wanted to wreak havoc on the opponent's basket like Zhang Chen, so their offense and defense were more active.
