The Knicks, who temporarily led in the first quarter, didn't get complacent for long. After the start of the second quarter, the 76ers quickly gave the Knicks a dismissal.

In the second quarter of the game, both sides changed to the bench lineup, really long-term, originally the second lineup on the Knicks' side had Crawford, a master of grabbing points, it should be the Knicks' side of the bench lineup slightly in terms of strength, but, Crawford didn't know what was going on today, today's shots were all out without exception, in the last few minutes of the first quarter, he shot 3 times, and he didn't score a goal, and in the first half of the second quarter, he shot 6 times, or he didn't score a goal, and he played 10 minutes and didn't score a point, there are no rebounds, and there are only 3 assists. Shot 9 times, none of them hit, such a watch undoubtedly made Thibodeau furious.

Especially when Thibodeau doesn't like Crawford very much, there is no way to tolerate even a slight mistake in the first place, and a workaholic like Thibodeau has no way to allow his players to make all kinds of mistakes.

In the first half of the second quarter, Chen Jiyuan was so sadistic, although the 76ers' second team also had Louis Williams to steal points, but the cooperation between Crawford and Starkey was beaten and there was no way to fight back, which is unreasonable. It is estimated that Crawford will never play for a very long time under Thibodeau's men. Because Thibodeau will be by Crawford's defense.

In the first half of the second quarter, you watched Louis Williams perform by himself. After hitting a rare two-pointer, Louis Williams was instantly bursting with confidence. After that, there were few misses. Crawford can't attack, can't defend. It simply didn't work at all.

In Chen Jiyuan's opinion, who hasn't had a bad performance in one or two games, so Crawford's table is also a helpless thing, but what Thibodeau sees is Crawford's inaction on the defensive end and inaction on the offensive end. The fastest and most stable update dìng) made a mess of the shot, and if he didn't let go, Thibodeau couldn't bear it anymore.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Knicks had already been rewritten to 26:32 by the 76ers. If it goes on like this, it will only make the point difference bigger and bigger, so Thibodeau decisively asked for a timeout, not only changed people, but also pressed Crawford decisively on the bench. Then the lineup of Chen Jiyuan, Lefou, Starkey, Sessions, and Tony Allen was fielded, which was basically all the starters. Here in Thibodeau, Crawford's low post is not as strong as Starkey, and in the past, in Thomas's eyes, Crawford's low post is definitely stronger than Starkey. The new head coach is the obvious defensive master, though. It's a defensive maniac, so Crawford's shortcomings can't be accepted by Thibodeau. Unless Crawford can change that. But this one is obviously a bit harder. Crawford's body is thin and fearful of confrontation. There's no way around tall or strong outside players. Crawford's defensive problems are not only in his body, but also in his attitude and defensive awareness, which naturally looks like he is not defending well.

The Knicks, who re-replaced the main lineup, returned to the court, and Thibodeau made a tactical change to them, because the main offensive point of the 76ers is Brand, Maurice Cheeks makes Brand more singles on the inside, too, Iguodala's offense is actually not so strong, Iguodala's outside nearly three-point shot is not particularly trustworthy, and the perennial shooting rate is only in the early 30%, and Iguodala, who breaks into the interior, is indeed a little unstoppable, but it is not unstoppable. When there is an interior defensive gate to assist the defense, Iguodala's offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced. However, Iguodala's passing awareness came in handy at this time, and Iguodala was often able to make very good passes, mainly because Iguodala only had 1 when he first entered high school. 75 meters tall, so naturally he plays point guard. However, later, Iguodala kept growing up, and later became the tallest person on the high school team and became a center, so Iguodala played all five positions, and because of this, Iguodala honed a very comprehensive hand, there is nothing Iguodala will not do, on the court, Iguodala is synonymous with comprehensiveness. Iguodala prefers to pass the ball to scoring points, though. Iguodala would prefer to play like Penny Hardaway.

Therefore, although the 76ers' offensive point seems to be the cooperation of Iguodala on the outside and Brand on the inside, Maurice Cheeks is obviously more inclined to start and end the offense on the inside. The outside line is more about attracting the opponent's defensive attention, and Iguodala doesn't care about this arrangement at all, or better yet. Iguodala is also very fond of this way of playing.

Thibodeau's change of tactics is to shrink the defense, the 76ers don't have a trustworthy outside shooter, Iguodala and Thaddeus Young are both in the early 30% of three-point shooting, which is not high, and Miller is simply a three-point black hole, I don't know what the three-point is. So the shrinking defensive tactics are completely workable. Or rather, that's the right tactic. Chen Jiyuan and Lefou's interior defense is very good, if at this time, the outside players don't come up to wrap up, or interfere with the offensive rhythm of Brand on the inside from time to time, it is enough for the 76ers to drink a pot.

The Knicks have replaced all the main forces, and the Philadelphia 76ers have also replaced all the main forces, because the current score difference is not big, so the Philadelphia 76ers don't dare to be too big. In particular, last season's Knicks had a better record than the 76ers, although this season's Philadelphia 76ers' reinforcements look very successful. However, the Knicks have also added good members, especially on the front line, although not perfect, but at least this completely leaky position is much stronger than last season.

Both sides switched to the main fight, and the Knicks pursued Thibodeau's defensive strategy, resolutely shrinking the defense inside. This guide zhì76 people are suddenly a little uncomfortable. Thibodeau's tactical shift is out. The Knicks started chasing points. In the face of the Knicks' shrinking defense, the 76ers made two offensive errors in a row, one was a steal when Brand passed the ball to the outside, and the other was a steal by Tony Allen when Brand was playing Loaf with his back. Both of these mistakes directly caused the Knicks to score, and in the process of fast break, the Knicks scored four points in a row very easily. Chen Jiyuan shot another mid-distance shot, and easily tied the score. 32：32。

After that, the entire second quarter of the game was under the control of the Knicks, Brand couldn't open it at all, and the 76ers were still feeding the ball to the inside, and the offense gradually became sluggish, and the Knicks took advantage of this time to play a small wave of **. Scored 12 points in a row. All of a sudden, it went from being 6 points behind to 6 points ahead.

Finally, when the second quarter ended, the Knicks even extended their lead, although the 76ers also made corresponding changes, and also strengthened the outside offense, giving the three players on the outside the power to shoot, but the 76ers, who lacked the outside three-point firepower point, had no way to break the Knicks' shrink defense, Iguodala and Thaddeus Young both shot two or three three-pointers, but the effect was not very good.

In this way, at the end of the second quarter, the Knicks led the 76ers by 9 points with a score of 53:44.
