Chapter 419: Old Goblin

Also feeling the same thing is the head coach of the Knicks, Tyberdeau, who was full of confidence before the game and felt that the Spurs were old.

But now that the Spurs have shown their real skills today and team tactics have been shown, Tyberdu immediately realized that he was superficial and vulgar.

With Li Feng, he has the mind of an upstart, and he doesn't know that his team is just a toddler in the basketball process.

The Spurs scored easily, and the Knicks immediately kicked off the baseline and then organized a half-court attack.

The Knicks followed the previous routine, Dragic and Rose broke through first, but the two broke through twice, and the basketball was immediately cut off by the Spurs.

Because the Spurs don't just form a complete whole on the offensive end, they also do the same on the defensive end. The Spurs' defense is very closely connected to each other, and they have taken advantage of the Knicks' weakness of long-range shooting.

Once the Knicks break through at one point, there will inevitably be the Spurs' inside line behind to help defend, at least form a half-man defense, not give the Knicks a breakthrough route, and don't give you a chance to break through. In this case, the Knicks forced a breakthrough, and the Spurs so many old thieves would inevitably steal easily.

The Spurs steal on the defensive end, Parker immediately made a long pass to Leonard in front, and Li Feng chased Leonard to catch up here. Leonard turned around and passed the ball to Split, who was following him.

Split took the ball at the free throw line, and Li Feng could only come back to pounce, but Li Feng only moved, and Split also passed back.

The basketball reached Duncan, who was standing outside the three-point line, and at this point Duncan was empty, and Cousins habitually ran back to the basket. Duncan's way of moving was something Cousins didn't expect.

Duncan took the ball in the open spot, made a three-point shot, and the basketball fell cleanly into the Knicks' basket.

The Spurs scored again, and they were still playing a fast-track attack. Spurs' fast attack, say fast. Actually, it's not fast at all.

The Spurs' running speed is incomparable to that of the Knicks, and the Spurs' offense does not rely on speed, but on a very rhythmic and layered offensive feeling.

One wave doesn't work, the second wave, and then the third wave. Wave. The impact of the wave, such a fight against the opponent's unstable foothold, is simply an art.

Less than a minute into the game, Spurs firmly controlled the situation and rhythm of the game. The Knicks, who have been in the limelight recently, are powerless in front of team basketball like the Spurs.

At this time, Jeff Van Gundy, as an academic coach, had to say in admiration in the commentary seat:

"Spurs' tactical level and training level are really speechless! It's only two rounds of attack. Once in the half-court position, once in the opponent's foothold, the Spurs simply played a classic. ”

"You must know that Lu Dao is in the position, and when doing a match, all the players in the field can run reasonably, which is very demanding for the team."

As head coach, Jeff Van Gundy has a lot to say about the Spurs' tactics and training level.

Dragic and Rose lost in the Spurs' half, and they have already reached the Spurs' position, which is not something you can rush with brute force. That's a trap, the more you rush, the more reckless you are, and the more you hurt.

So at this time Dragic came over. gave the basketball to Li Feng first. As soon as Li Feng got the ball, the first person to pounce was not Ginobili, but Leonard.

The Spurs did such a misplaced defense, and obviously focused on Li Feng before the game. and the focus of care.

Li Feng took the ball and observed it first, the Spurs were more tightly aimed at their own defense than against others, and Split moved directly out of the penalty area with a big step. and Leonard formed a two-man defense. I'm afraid that once I dribble, the two of them will immediately pounce, not allowing themselves to move and cutting off their own passing routes at the same time.

And at this time, the Spurs have close and cut-off passes against the threatening Dragic and Rose.

The Spurs approach system is one of the interconnected. It has its own purpose, and it is an overall defensive system.

In this kind of system, Li Feng couldn't think of any way to solve it by himself.

But the ball was in his hands again, Li Feng had no choice but to turn on the cheetah bounce, dangle in front of Leonard, dribble forward, and then directly pull up the jump shot. Li Feng used his bounce to bully Leonard.

Leonard has no way to do this alone, after all, Leonard is just a rookie, if Li Feng keeps pulling it out, he has no tricks! Under such pressure, Li Feng felt good today, and he hit a two-point shot.

The Knicks finally scored 2 points, but none of the Knicks' previous offensive routines could be used, and the last score relied on Li Feng's personal singles. At this time, the players on the Knicks' side looked a little uneasy.

Even Tyberdu also turned his head, and this situation is still quite unfavorable for the Knicks.

The Spurs kicked off the baseline and advanced again, at this time the Spurs did not advance quickly, but it made the Knicks' entire team feel like their hearts almost stopped. The Spurs played the ball today, and it was out of the realm. Playing is hardly a ball anymore, but a strategy game.

Basketball is like a game in the hands of the old Spurs.

Just when the Knicks' side was very nervous in the half, the Spurs suddenly continued to cover the baseline on the baseline.

Duncan covered three teammates in a row, Ginobili ran past, Leonard ran over, and Split ran over.

All eyes were on the steady stream of runners, when Parker suddenly passed the ball to Duncan in the low post.

It was only then that everyone realized that the Spurs had cleared one side, the space was wide open, and Duncan was in the low post. All of a sudden, a low-level one-on-one was formed.

And Duncan's position is very deep, at this time Duncan took the ball very stretched, not impatient, dribbling with his left hand and dribbling two steps towards it, and suddenly paused, this pause is relatively long.

Just when everyone is speculating, including Cousins, who is defending him, is also speculating whether Duncan is going to pass the ball! What else will happen, Duncan suddenly turned over on the bottom line, and when he got behind the rebound, he gently wiped the basketball towards the rebound in front of the rebound.

Completely past Cousins, the basketball also easily fell into the Knicks' basket.

Duncan's offense. It is best to describe it in two words, these two words are freehand.

It's very freehand, there is no bursting body contact, and there are no fancy steps, just a simple single two, the rhythm is slightly controlled, and the points are scored.

Such Duncan really played basketball out of the realm.

The Knicks are known for being tough defensively, but when it comes to the Spurs, they feel powerless. Cousins is a case in point. He was in better shape than Duncan, but he didn't have a chance to play at all, and the Spurs simply scored points.

The Spurs are scoring points one after another, even if they shoot blood.

At this time, the Knicks couldn't help but be a little anxious, and Li Feng was the same, the Knicks baseline ball Dragic advanced to the Spurs' halfcourt or handed over the basketball to Li Feng to deal with first.

Li Feng took the ball and saw that Leonard was closer to him, and he was greatly interfered with in the jumper, and he couldn't always play with dry pulls. This is not good for the operation of the whole team's tactics.

So Li Feng knew that the pressure was huge, but he still pulled the ball towards the bottom line. Tandem and organize the offensive. It may seem like a powerful and profound thing, but in fact, there are only two things to organize an attack and control. It's the same rhythm, it's the same space!

Facilitate the rhythm, create the space. Li Feng pulled a little like this at this time, but it still had an effect, and he walked towards the top of the arc towards the two wings.

At this time, Monroe happened to be in the empty space near the free throw line, and Li Feng hurriedly passed the ball to Monroe behind his back.

Monroe catches the ball. There was a blank in front of him, because Split was following Li Feng to defend!

This time was supposed to be an open shooting opportunity to play well, but Monroe is not an offensive player. He hesitated slightly to take the ball. Instead of shooting himself, he passed the basketball to Dragic on the other side.

Dragic was defended very well by Parker, and Dragic himself was also difficult to protect, he could only force a breakthrough to eat Parker with the ball. But he didn't take advantage of Parker, and he played so blindly, and completely destroyed the space.

The Knicks' offensive formation and routines have completely changed, and Dragic can't shoot himself, so he can only pass to Rose near the three-point line. Rose took the ball and saw that time was running out, and hurriedly shot from a distance.

As a result, Rose shot a three-and-three, and the basketball was simply returned to the Spurs.

At this time, Li Feng realized that it was impossible for the Knicks to play overall basketball like the Spurs.

The Spurs have range on both of their interior lines and can pass the ball, so the Spurs can run as much as they want, and the tactics are ever-changing, with every point being a threat and every point being able to handle the ball. But there are no such conditions on my side.

I can't catch a mid-range shot like Monroe, and Cousins can't count on it, so the Knicks are really going to be suffocated from internal injuries.

The individual offense was restricted, and the team couldn't play, so Li Feng could only shake his head here.

The Spurs' team offense is really ever-changing, and the Spurs are continuous low-post covers, and now this round is over. The style immediately changed again, and the Spurs played a series of high covers.

Parker took the ball around the top of the arc and around 45 degrees to the left, and suddenly a breakaway pierced the Knicks' basket.

Parker wants to be tough, this Knick is not afraid, and immediately several people pounced on Parker together.

Before Parker was caught in the middle, he suddenly jumped up and passed the ball back to Duncan at the free-throw line, and the basketball was transferred. The Knicks were in good health, and immediately pounced on Duncan again, but Duncan didn't make a strong shot with the ball, but transferred the ball to Ginobili in the bottom corner.

Li Feng pounced, Ginobili passed the ball to Leonard 45 degrees, and this time Leonard was completely empty.

Leonard made an open shot from outside the three-point line, and the basketball simply fell into the Knicks' basket.

Spurs scored again, and it was as clean as textbook. The small man breaks through the ball, the big man should make a wide range of transfers, and the perimeter quickly transmits opportunities. With such a perfect fit, the Spurs are really as precise as a machine.

As a result, the Spurs scored consecutive points and already led the Knicks by 8 points by 10-2.

A little more than 2 minutes into the opening period, the Knicks were beaten like this. Tyberdu had to call a timeout immediately, and the game could not continue like this.

In terms of pre-game feelings, the two teams had their own advantages and disadvantages, but now that they have met at the beginning, the Knicks have actually lost in a comprehensive manner.

This fact made Tyberdu feel depressed. But the San Antonio fans at ATT Arena were so excited that they cheered loudly onto the pitch from the sidelines.

Reggie Miller, who was sitting in the commentary seat, shook his head at this time and said:

"Compared to the Spurs, the Knicks are still too young. While we have to admit that the Spurs had a somewhat high shooting percentage today, let's not forget that the Spurs' high shooting percentage is based on a particularly reasonable offense. Isn't it too easy for the Spurs to play the defense that the Knicks live on on the offensive end? ”

"Why is the Knicks' famously tough defense gone today? Why is Li Feng's smooth tandem before the Knicks missing today? Why couldn't the Knicks play any intensity today? All of this shows the Spurs' sophistication, and it also shows one thing, basketball is a strong team of five people and is more effective in the game. ”

The Knicks were beaten and couldn't fight back, and Tyberdu went to the bench to personally set up two tight offensive combinations, and then asked the team to have a better pressing defense.

Tyberdeau's arrangement was very conventional, and the Knicks returned to the court to play as he wanted, and only scored two offensive rounds. But once there was no Taberdu's own tactical arrangement. The Knicks were immediately back in the form they had started the game.

There is no sustained approach on offense, and the defense is basically played by the Spurs, and the five players of the Spurs, especially the two interior lines, have too much advantage against the Knicks. These two guys can shoot and they can also respond.

Having Split and Duncan is a Knicks' nightmare, and you can't guard against it.

Li Feng also did not have any advantage against Ginobili, who relied on the cover of his teammates to run back and forth.

Li Feng can't use any strong confrontation, and the Spurs almost cancel out all the advantages of the Knicks.

At 5:50 of the first quarter, the Spurs still led the Knicks by 11 points at 19-8.

From the pitch at this point. The Knicks really have no way, and there is no way to take the Spurs.

At this time, Tyberdu understood that the Spurs had long been aware of every characteristic of their team, and they were here for themselves. I want to win today. There is no hope for any surprise.

Jeff Van Gundy also said at this time:

"The Spurs played almost flawlessly today, if the Knicks couldn't make a big change to the whole team. There will be no suspense in today's game! ”

Now everyone sees that the Knicks are in this situation. If you lose such a game.

Tyberdu can imagine that this will be fatal to the team's morale, and the rise of the Knicks, which has been hyped by the media lately, will no longer exist. Because you can't even get past the old Spurs. How can you say that your team has risen? The old spurs are like a monument erected, and if you can't cross it, it means that you still can't do it.

This will be a fatal blow to the confidence and momentum of the team, and Tyberdu does not want to let his team give up halfway at this time. It's important to beat the Spurs.

So he used his brain and thought in his mind how to solve the dilemma in front of him.

As Tyberdu pondered, he saw that the situation on the pitch was getting worse. The Knicks' situation was still deteriorating, and at this time, Tyberdeau suddenly thought of letting Li Feng play the No. 4 position, and now he may be able to do so.

Because now in terms of the situation, there is nothing I can do but try this crazy idea. There's no way around it!

So after the Knicks got the ball, Tyberdu called another timeout.

Before the game, the Knicks' players had gone through three consecutive wins and were full of energy, but now it only took six minutes to play the Spurs. The Knicks are all particularly frustrated, because anyone can see that the Spurs' overall offense is indeed a notch better than the Knicks. It was a blow to the Knicks themselves.

Tyberdu called a timeout again, and this time after calling a timeout, he immediately said:

"We need to adjust, drastically."

After a while, Li Feng replaced Grigg in the No. 4 position, and J.R. Smith played in the No. 2 position. Let's make a big adjustment, give Li Feng more to play, Li Feng, you play closer to the basket, it is best to promote the rotation of the team, and everyone plays more interspersed tactics. ”

Tyberdu said his thoughts, and Li Feng was stunned for a moment. Li Feng is indeed more suitable for the outside position, but now the team has indeed been forced to this extent, Li Feng can only nod.

The Knicks made a big substitution and adjusted their tactics, and came back after a timeout. Povich immediately noticed this change from the Knicks.

Did the Knicks change the lineup of small ones? In this way, the Knicks will have more changes on offense, and they will be able to make up for the shooting of defensive big men on the perimeter. But in this way, the Knicks will inevitably have a great reduction in their control of the basket, and the real trouble that the small man inside is not that he can't attack, but that the area controlled by the assistant defense is too small, and it is too easy for the opponent to make a layup and score near the restricted area.

Wave. Povich got the results of the analysis almost instantly, and then immediately shouted from the sidelines: "Strengthen the breakthrough ball, focus on the basket, focus on the offense under the basket!" ”

Wave. Povich instantly understood the weaknesses of the Knicks' new lineup, and Tyberdu was on the side even when he heard Bo. Povich yelled, also gritting his teeth and not saying a word. There is no way out of his trick. If it doesn't work, it's completely finished today. (To be continued......)
