Gary Payton said this and couldn't have expected it, but no one expected that Gary Payton's words came true, and when he came back in the second quarter, the first round was the Knicks' offense.

At this time, Tyberdu finally let go of the idea of eating the Pacers in one bite and replaced him with all the substitutes.

But at this time, the Pacers came up and pressed the defense in the first round of the opening game. The Pacers really started from defense, and it depends on whether the Knicks eat this set when they change to tight defense.

Vogel came down suddenly, but the Knicks are a fast team that is not afraid to deal with pressing defense.

The Knicks hesitated a little, and the whole team reacted.

Kirilenko came up to get the ball in the backcourt and then played the basketball to the Pacers' half, and the Knicks weren't afraid to defend the whole court because they were good at playing fast and the big guys could handle it.

This information has been left in Vogel's mind, but even if the Knicks are not afraid of pressing, the Pacers made a sudden move, which also affected the Knicks' advancement and shortened the team's offensive time.

When the Knicks' bench lineup came over, because of the lack of the main attacker, the Knicks finally made a hasty shot and still missed.

The Pacers' pressing defense still played a role in delaying the Knicks, just when Pacers fans rejoiced.

As soon as the Pacers got the ball, the Knicks also immediately saved and responded with an extremely tough defense.

The Knicks' defense is not only tough. And it's also dense, corresponding to a group of young players from the Pacers.

It also choked the throat of the Pacers' offense at this time, although the Pacers are also a small lineup, but they lack a stable ball carrier on the outside, relying on David West as the core, once the Knicks put a lot of pressure on the ball, the Pacers are also a little difficult to adapt.

As a result, under the Knicks' tough defense, the Pacers also missed shots in this round.

At the beginning, both teams really started from defense. Start the change from the defensive end. The change was almost identical to Peyton's reaction. And so it goes. Reggie Miller glanced at Gary Payton with admiration and said:

"Gary, you're really good! I actually thought of it with those two old guys. Can you explain the reason for this change? ”

Gary Payton saw Reggie Miller's admiring look in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly to himself. Because he knew that it was not unusual for him to guess this. Coaches with some experience would guess this. It's a god for the players. It's also a bit incredible for the fans. But for coaches, it's a clear thing.

Both teams played very mildly in the first quarter, and they must have been tempted for a certain time. And the first quarter is definitely not the rhythm of the regular season, and the strong team will always exert its strength in the second half. But that didn't affect both teams in the first half. Warm up a little. Teams like the Pacers and Knicks are waiting for the pinnacle matchup in the second half, and want to add intensity to the lineup in the first half, so how can the two teams strengthen the intensity of the team?

Only defensively, and only defensively, can do that.

Both teams stepped up their defenses in the opening stanza and missed shots from each other's offenses.

When the Knicks came to attack again, suddenly although they didn't press out, they also strengthened on the defensive end, and every player put pressure on the opponent.

At this time, Kirilenko's shortcomings are also shown, as a three-point type power forward, Kirilenko must have an outside strong point to cooperate with him on the offensive end, and his ability and strategy can be perfectly played.

Otherwise, even if Kirilenko scores a high score, it will be difficult to help the team get good results, which is determined by Kirilenko's style of play, he himself is a support life, without the main force, Kirilenko can only score and cannot change the opponent's defense.

At this time, the Pacers desperately defended out, Kirilenko did not have strong points around him, and he only led the team to support and could not break the Pacers' current good defense.

The Knicks passed the ball from the outside, and at the end of the day, B.R. Smith took a risky shot and missed. Under the high-intensity defense, the Knicks' offensive efficiency was the first to decrease.

This would have been a good opportunity for the Pacers to attack, and you must know that the Pacers are still relatively neat off the bench now. But the Pacers came up to face the Knicks' dense defense, and they also had problems, in the Pacers lineup, the speed is fast enough, the height is high enough, but the two wing players are unstable shooters.

Once the guard line can't play an offense, these two guys are easy to mute outside the three-point line. After this round, Sam Young really missed a three-point shot from the bottom line.

The Knicks couldn't open it, and neither could the Pacers, and the two teams were deadlocked at the beginning of the second quarter.

The shooting percentage is a straight down, and neither team scores.

In the past, the manager should have replaced the main players with them!

But today is not, both teams clearly play poorly in attack and fight hard to defend. But here Vogel just pressed George on the bench, and over there Tyberdu also pressed Li Feng to his side.

In the first quarter, the two teams were compared not to call a timeout and not to make special adjustments, and now in the second quarter, the offense of the two teams is clearly unfavorable, but they refuse to play the trump cards of both sides.

This game is very mysterious for some experts and commentators, and at this time, Su Qun, who was in China, watched the broadcast, and constantly asked questions.

"The Pacers and Knicks have strengthened their defense, but they haven't strengthened their offense. Both teams had offensive problems, but neither was in a hurry to solve them! Vogel and Tyberdu: What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd! ”

Su Qun asked a lot of questions, and these questions were destined to be answered by no one for him. Anyone who can answer these questions has come to the NBA to be a head coach. Su Qun has never been a head coach, so no one answered him.

But Gary Payton, who was on the sidelines, frowned at this time, Gary Payton was born with a black face and deep brows. At this time, the more I thought about it, the more bitter my face became.

The Pacers and Knicks are on the defensive side and do not change offensive players, in Gary Payton's view, this is what Tyberdu and Vogel have in common, and if Jeff Van Gundy and Larry Brown had come, they would have been properly replaced. Because both of them are masters of the academy, they only recognize tactics and not strategy.

Now that the two teams are in a stalemate, the one who strikes first will definitely get a little bit of a point advantage. But whoever adjusts first means who can't help it first. I can't help but lack confidence in the players. Lack of confidence! Neither manager wanted to show his timidity, so he didn't move for the time being.

People's hearts are rivers and lakes, and people's hearts are also stadiums.

Both managers are sitting firmly, what to do on the pitch at this time?

Take a look at the player's ability to self-adjust. Look at your luck! Right. It's all about luck, this damn thing.

Luck is something you can't touch. I can't see it, but it's a very important thing. A lot of times if you don't have luck you have nothing, and if you have luck, you have everything.

Betting on luck is also a time when it often happens between the strong!

Now at this juncture. Luck struck the Pacers at home, and the second quarter went to the second minute.

The Pacers hit the opposing half, but they still couldn't nibble at the Knicks' halfcourt. DJ Augustin took the risk of attacking and forced a breakthrough, and lost the basketball halfway through the breakthrough. This guy made a mistake on the ball himself.

But in the chaos, the basketball rolled to Sam Young's side, and Sam Yang couldn't attack himself with the ball.

However, at this time, Sam Young immediately controlled the rhythm with his back attack, and then passed the ball to Hansbrough outside

Hansbrough took the ball outside the three-point line, and there was just one step of space, and Hansbrough's three-point shooting was usually very inaccurate.

So Kirilenko didn't make a save, but just like that, Hansbrough raised his hand and threw out a three-pointer that actually hit it.

Hansblu's three-pointer, this is a strange event. Just after the shot, Hansbrough laughed himself.

Reggie Miller also said on the side:

"Now Hansbrough is a shooter again. I wish I could play the shooter position for a little longer! ”

The Pacers were lucky to hit this three-pointer, and that's a sign! Although Tyberdu had already been shunshun, the balance of fate might tilt in favor of the other party, but at this time Tyberdu still sighed.

The court is a place where they can balance each other, and once the Pacers' side has a turnaround. The turnaround also came on the Knicks' side.

The Knicks are now a little more comfortable with the Pacers' strong defense, and the Knicks' players are paying more attention to running and cooperating with each other when they go on offense.

Kirilenko and the Knicks players are more committed to their roles on the court.

Just after Hansblu's three points, Kirilenko immediately took the ball and hung it up in the corner position to cover his teammates.

At this time, J.R. Smith, who came off the bench, was very cunning and ran around Kirilenko for a half lap.

Then, leaning on his slender body, he limped and made a turn towards the walker's basket.

J.R. Smith was running so twisted and twisted, and Sam Young, who was chasing after him, saw the figure.

The Pacers' interior line is indeed relatively empty at this time, with only one David West guarding it, and J.R. Smith happened to be empty when he ran in. Kirilenko made a quick pass, and J.R. Smith took the ball and made a rebound, which also scored two points.

The Pacers scored three points, and the Knicks began to find a way to deal with it, and the situation on the court was about to begin to thaw.

At this time, both Tyberdu and Vogel began to pay more attention to the court, and the development of the situation will affect the judgment of the two men on the spot.

The Pacers played again, and the two guards passed the ball back and forth first, and David West wanted to go up to catch the ball, but at this time Thornton still took care of David West more well.

In the case that David West couldn't get the basketball, DJ Augustin, who had made a mistake last time, rushed up to the Knicks' half court with the basketball with confidence.

Belineri didn't want DJ Augustin to continue to perform at this time, and he came up to defend against DJ Augustin.

DJ Augustin is one of those immature point guards who doesn't usually see anyone when dealing with high-intensity defense.

This Belineri chased him to defend, and DJ Augustin could only take care of the basketball. I can't see my teammates anymore.

As a result, D.J. Augustin was chased from the three-point line by Belinelli to the inside of the box, and then from inside the box to the outside of the three-point line.

DJ Augustin's long-term possession of the ball without passing, and not scoring was originally a taboo on the court. But after he messed up like this, the lineups of the two teams were suddenly messed up.

At this time, Belineri chased it out again, and DJ Augustin immediately passed the ball to Sam Young.

Sam Young almost cursed when he got the ball, because there were only a few seconds left, and DJ Augustin had enough of playing the basketball and finally threw it to Sam Young when he ran out of time.

Sam Yang can't attack if he doesn't, isn't it difficult for Sam Young?

Sam Young was angry. One side can only play horizontally and step into the opponent's three-point line. Then he pulled up and threw a quick long-range shot.

Sam Young's long-range shots have always been erratic, and he and Hansbru's long-range shots are of the type that come and go.

At this time, he made a hasty shot, and Sam Young had no idea of scoring a few goals. But with the basketball shot, Sam Young suddenly laughed too.

Because he made a quick shot. Although it was crooked. But after wiping the rebound, he finally hit it. When such a shot was hit, not only Sam Young laughed, but Reggie Miller and Vogel laughed.

The Pacers are not good at shooting players either. It was a mistake and hit two long-range shots one after another.

This bodes well for the Pacers, and the scales of victory are already tipped in their favor.

The Knicks pushed forward quickly, and they were more inclined to run and cooperate without the ball when they were attacking as a whole, but at this time the Pacers' defense was indeed tight, and there was no sign of random play on the Knicks' side, but there was no sign of breaking the opponent's defense.

In the end, it was Kirilenko who played strongly under the basket, but Kirilenko's ability was really average when he carried the basket. Kirilenko's side missed the shot, and the basketball was immediately taken away by the Pacers.

The Pacers just hit two shots in a row, and the morale of the Pacers was really eased at this time.

David West also immediately pulled away to the outside to receive the ball, and after receiving the ball, David West faced Thornton's old tricks again, and the following two tentative steps, and a mid-range shot was actually shot.

The Pacers scored six points in a row, while the Knicks scored just two. This led to a change in the score and also put the Knicks under pressure in terms of momentum.

You must know that Madison mixed in more than 4,000 Pacers fans today, and as soon as the Pacers scored, these fans began to cheer for the team.

The Pacers' momentum was immediately up, and it was easy to get suppressed if the Knicks didn't have a corresponding table.

At this time, it stands to reason that Tyberdu should be replaced with the main force! He should put Li Feng on it!

But Tyberdu didn't, and after seeing the goal conceded, he ran to the sidelines and yelled at his players.

"Defend, pay attention to the defense, our defensive intensity has dropped!"

Tyberdu did not play the main force, but strengthened the defense. This is what he saw, why the Pacers played so smoothly in these few rounds, not how good the Pacers' offense was, but that their defense did not do it to the extreme.

Although Tyberdeau's side has strengthened its defense, the Knicks have not changed anything on the offensive end. Belineri also missed the shot on a risky breakaway, and the Knicks' defense was still terrible.

But back on the defensive end, the Knicks once again showed their hard work, and the Pacers' lineup met the Knicks' desperate defense.

As a result, the Pacers did not score either, and the two teams began to enter a period of mute again.

This boring round trip, and the persistent misses, wrestling-like matches, were boos from the sidelines from the fans who watched it.

Reggie Miller was also on the side and almost dozed off:

"Could it be that Tyberdu and Vogel are ready to let the team play like this! Is this the great war they are preparing to dedicate to us? ”

Reggie Miller was unhappy with the wrestling match, but Gary Payton said:

"It's definitely not the game Vogel wants. But I dare say it's a game like this. The game is played in this kind of wrestling match, the Pacers' side will definitely not be able to play the rhythm, the Pacers will not be able to play the rhythm, and the Knicks, who are slightly inferior in strength, will have every chance. ”

Yes, this kind of scene is what Tyberdou expected, but the Pacers can't afford to play such a bad game at home.

In the process of the two head coaches competing with Shinobi, the final winner was Tyberdeau.

Vogel couldn't accept playing boring ugly games.

Vogel, for his part, called a timeout and then began to make substitutions.

The two teams were bored and insisted on until the middle of the second quarter, so this wave of substitutions Vogel simply changed the main force on a large scale.

George, Roy Hibbert, Lance Stephenson all changed mountains. But Vogel kept Hill on the bench anyway because Hill was still too slow.

The Pacers made a large-scale substitution, and Tyberdu cautiously did minor surgery, replaced Li Feng, and then let Monroe and Kirilenko play as an interior partner. In this way, Tyberdu's adjustment is over.

After the Pacers replaced the full main team, they played a little sluggish, and they played a small lineup for a long time. Now that a big man has come up all of a sudden, the Pacers themselves are a little unaccustomed.

David West, an efficient playmaker, also made a mistake in the pass in this situation.

After the Pacers changed all the main players, they actually made a mistake on the first ball of the game, which was really bad for the Pacers.

Could it be that the main force is not as good as the substitute, and the game will get uglier and uglier? (To be continued......)
