The core of the 76ers is Allen, but he's not the kind of guy who can be a core on the offensive end, just a nice blue-collar guy.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Livingston and Vucevic blocked and burst inside, passing Elson and scoring a layup.

Livingston scored twice in a row and Williams rounded Vucevic to chase after him. Livingston passed the ball back to the high post, and Vucevic was still relatively solid in his basic skills, scoring a jumper from the left and right of the free throw line.

Defensively, the Knicks used a hybrid defense, with outside man-to-man, and interior Diop and Vucevic in charge of blocking. Elson can be released if he pulls out, and he lacks the ability to shoot. As long as they keep up with Allen, the 76ers can't afford to make waves.

Allen has a strong physique and can sit and play Diop. But he wasn't fast enough, dribbled a few times, Harris's supplementary defense came up, passed to Nocioni, Vucevic let Elson go to defend, if he passed Elson again, Diop could put Allen to make up for the defense, and the Knicks formed a small area around the restricted area to rotate and defend.

It's only to blame Nocioni for being too slumped right now, and he can't even grasp the three-point shot, and if he can shoot from the perimeter, Harris won't be able to make up for it.

If Elson is more physical, can dunk directly in the air, or has more explosiveness after receiving the ball, he is not afraid of Diop's rotation position, at least he can make fouls. But none of this can be done by the 76ers' bench. The only one they could run and jump was Louis Williams, who couldn't shoot well.

Harris, Livingston, and Vucevic scored in quick succession to create a 10-2 scoring shockwave that stretched the score to 20 points. Williams pulled out three times in the face of Livingston, trying to rely on his physical fitness and height advantage to eat hard. The idea is good, but it's all biased. The 76ers only relied on Allen to score one goal.

Eddie Jordan requested a substitution, and Turner and Brand returned to the court. The Knicks immediately replaced Belineri and replaced Belineri to ensure that Turner pressed without the ball. Livingston remained on the field. The Knicks' defense turned into man-marking, and Vucevic followed Brand.

Turner scored four straight points after coming on, but the Knicks were able to score as well. Livingston broke inside after blocking and dismantling. Brand defended much better than Elson, but when he caught up with Livingston, he split the ball and passed to Harris to single Nocioni. Harris has the advantage in all aspects. One step to dodge Nocioni's mid-range shot, turned around with his back and broke through the dunk, scoring four points in a row.

Harris isn't the type of player who is invincible offensively, it's just that Nocioni's defense is just too bad. The 76ers were forced to make adjustments and brought on Sadieus Young, while the Knicks also replaced Livingston, Diop, Rose and Li Feng.

Li Feng followed Brand and handed Allen to Vucevic for defense. The two are the same height, and Allen is stronger than Vucevic. The 76ers passed inside to Allen to beat him.

Vucevic's strength is a weakness, no matter how hard he tries, it is difficult to resist people on the inside, what he has to do is to rely on the opponent, follow the opponent's movement, leave a distance as a space to jump, use the advantage of height and arm span to block under the basket, and do a good job of defending the last ring.

When you run into someone like Stoudamire or Howard, putting them in the basket is a dunk. Vucevic has nothing to do but foul, but Allen's explosiveness is very poor, and he can block.

Vucevic stepped back completely to the basket and almost stuck his head in the basket as he jumped...... Because the Nets hit the eye. He landed unsteadily after the block, slipped and fell off the baseline.

Louis Williams picked up the basketball, shook off Rose in one step, and slotted it to the basket. If you jump up, you have to buckle with one hand.

In the Knicks restricted area, it would be naïve to want to go wild with a height of only 191cm. Li Feng watched Williams pick up the ball. Immediately let go of Brand and rushed to the basket.

"Be careful!"

Brand yells to warn Williams to be careful, but Williams only has the basket in his eyes.

Li Feng jumped up from behind, flew sideways to the basket, pressed his right hand on the basket, and knocked the ball out of the air, but the referee still did not blow the whistle. Brand picked up the basketball and shot from the left center.

Brand thought it was empty, but as soon as the ball left his hand, another person flew up on the side. Tobias slapped the ball over the audience!

The audience shouted frantically, and at this moment, the arena seemed to become Knicks fans.

Three big hats in a row, one fiercer than the other, Li Feng and Harris, the young man, roared and hit their chests.

The 76ers sent a throw-in with only two seconds left to attack, and Thaddeus Young forced his shot wide.

After Dragic and Cousins also played, the Knicks completely took the initiative, and only Parsons was replaced by Harris in the opening starters, and the defense and offense were stronger.

On the defensive end, the Knicks don't have any tricks, just man-marking. It's not easy to mess up, Cousins took the initiative to ask for a defense, and it wasn't too fast to get up, only Hawes, who had a height advantage, he could keep up. Now Cousins is slower at the No. 4 position, but if he plays center, he is already fast.

Turner struggles every time he catches the ball, the Knicks outside players keep getting close, and after the block, he has to face Harris and Li Feng again, and he pulls in front of these two, and if he is not careful, he will be blocked, which is not as easy as single-handedly Dragic. Dragic is also good at defending breakaways and making offensive fouls, which makes Turner very uncomfortable.

The Knicks kept blocking and dismantling on the offensive end, interspersed with running to create misplaced opportunities, and Dragic organized the offense in an orderly manner. As soon as Li Feng shakes off Sadieus Young, the ball will immediately pass to him, Cousins pulled to the perimeter and the guard is misplaced, and Dragic also passed two good balls to assist Cousins to hit a three-pointer from the outside. Cousins made 2-of-5 three-pointers and dealt a heavy blow to the 76ers.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led by as many as 32 points, 98-56. This is also something that many people did not expect, despite the difference in strength between the two teams, it seems that the 76ers simply cannot compete with the Knicks.

In the fourth quarter, the 76ers replaced Turner, Brand and other main players and surrendered their guns early. Li Feng, Dragic, Cousins and others also took a break, changed into coats, and didn't plan to appear again, sitting on the sidelines talking and laughing, while Monroe and others didn't play a minute at all today, and they didn't even sweat.

Barkley laughed:

"If the Knicks play like that every game, this year's championship is definitely them. It was as easy as a fishing belly team, and the 76ers didn't have a single lead in the game. ”

Kenny Smith looked at the data and smiled:

"Derrick Rose had 30 points and seven assists, which was the best performance of switching to a shooting guard."

Barkley laughed:

"The Knicks should trade Paul for small forward, then trade Kidd for center, and then Rondo for power forward."

Li Feng sat next to Ross and said:

"You're going to have to do more. Otherwise I scored too much. ”

Hearing Li Feng say this, Rose scolded with a smile:

"The next time I meet the Thunder, I'll pass the ball to Durant!"

In garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Knicks' bench still scored like crazy, and the 76ers bench was beaten to the ground.

The current Knicks lineup is Diop, Vucevic, Thornton, Belineri, and Livingston. There is offense and defense, and the division of labor is clear.

The 76ers interior line is Allen, Elson, Nocioni, Meeks, Williams. If you can't defend it, you can't attack it.

Thornton became the Knicks' No. 1 point of attack. At that time, his template was LeBron James, Thornton's poor basketball skills were first-class, and he had speed and power, and Tyberdu was ready to include him in the rotation.

Nocioni's annual salary is several times that of Thornton, but the two have opposite performances on the field.

Eddie Jordan didn't call a timeout. He didn't think it was necessary. He thought that he might lose this game, but he didn't expect it to be in such a way. What about a timeout? Is it necessary to let the 76ers all play on the court to fight against the Knicks' bench? That's even more humiliating.

Livingston and Thornton broke through sharply, Diop was responsible for the perimeter blocking, and after receiving the return pass, Elson also gave a violent dunk.

With too much of a lead, the Knicks bench completely let go. The newcomer likes to play tailwind, and it just so happens that Thornton is a convulsive player again. Moreover, the Knicks players are still working hard defensively, and the competition in the team is fierce, and they all want to show themselves in a limited time, so they can only play well. to get more playing time.

Under multiple factors, the game presented a one-sided situation, and the score became bigger and bigger.

Before the game, Saaddeus Young boasted that this game would prevent Li Feng from killing. Helped the 76ers win over the Knicks. Turner also said that even without Paul. Allen, the 76ers can also win the game, and now the pregame interview is a joke.

With two and a half minutes left, a frowning Turner rose from the bench. He didn't want to play, but walked to the players' tunnel and left early.

For the 76ers bench players. The fourth quarter was a bit long, 144-89, and the Knicks outscored by 55 points. The 76ers scored just eight points in the final quarter.

The 55 points created the largest margin of points for the Knicks to win since the two teams met in history.

All seven Knicks scored in double figures. Li Feng played 26 minutes and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, a new low. Cousins had 18 points and 13 rebounds. Harris had 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, Livingston 12 points, Rose 30 points, Vucevic 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Thornton scored 14 points in just 10 minutes in the final quarter.

Dragic scored just five points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out a game-high 11 assists.

Turner finished with 28 points, seven rebounds, five assists and one steal on 8-of-20 shooting, 2-of-6 three-pointers and 10-of-10 free throws. Thaddeus Young made 4 of 13 shots, got 11 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and was completely blown out by Li Feng.

The huge margin of the game was also hyped by the media, but the Knicks didn't pay attention to it because they were about to draw another big game, and the 76ers game was like an appetizer, and the main meal had just begun.

The New York Knicks' next opponent is the Pacers who only challenged a few days ago, the Knicks narrowly defeated the opponent with Li Feng's stunner, and the whole Knicks didn't think they really defeated the Pacers in that game, and now they gave the Knicks another chance, of course, it was also a chance for the Pacers, no matter what, it was the Knicks who won last time.

Playing away games in a row, time was very short for the Knicks, and the body did not get enough rest at all, and the whole team had to step on the plane again.

No sooner had the Knicks arrived in Indianapolis than a torrential rain fell on Indiana, and the rain washed over the city.

It also made the city's skies gloomy and terrifying, and the weather in Indiana seemed to be demonstrating to the Knicks in a way.

The entire Knicks team rested in the hotel for only 9 hours, and immediately got on the bus and went straight to Consec Arena.

When the bus arrived outside the Consec Arena, it was black and pressed by cars parked in the rain and fans with umbrellas.

At this time, there was no noise outside the Consec Arena, no fans drinking beer, only a crowd of black oppressors, violent rain, and a gloomy sky.

This unusually state of affairs has made all the Knicks players even more depressed. A few days before leaving here. Mentally relaxed, they were suddenly in Indiana again, as if they had gone from heaven to hell.

If Indiana was killing at this time, they might be able to lift their spirits. But Indiana was in the midst of dark clouds and torrential rain. The Knicks' players are becoming more and more emotionally depressed, and the negative emotions are making the body seem more and more tired.

In the locker room, the dark-eyed Tyberdu used a hoarse voice to summarize the team before the game.

In the two days of the victory over the 76ers, the Knicks' players were still resting although they were going through a long journey. But Tyberdeau also had the entire Knicks' coaching staff. In the past two days, I watched the video around the clock and did tactical analysis around the clock.

While Li Feng and the others were accumulating their physical strength, Taberdu was sleepless all night, in order to come up with a strategy to play today's game before today's game.

"Tonight, we met them again, and we almost lost that day, or didn't win at all, are you afraid?"

"No!"

Negative answer in the locker room. Firm, neat and loud.

"The Pacers are strong, and their offense is mostly based on shooting and fast breaks. Granger and Paul George both have good three-point ability, and West's mid-range is also very accurate. Hill's main way of scoring is still breaking. Hibbert is generally incapable of attacking. But the Pacers like to use Hibbert's bluff to hit twice. ”

"Defensively, the Pacers have innovated a powerful collective defensive strategy this season, the chain defense. Defensively, the Pacers are a very difficult ensemble to break down, as soon as a point is attacked, they can immediately concentrate multiple players to complete the encirclement, and once the attacker splits the ball. They were also able to quickly revert back to a defensive stance. ”

"The Pacers' strongest thing is not their fluid and comfortable offense, it's their chain defense. The Pacers are balanced offensively and defensively, but defense is actually what they are built on. ”

"So we didn't fight the Pacers in today's game. We have to start defensively as well. They can play chain defense, we can emulate them. ”

At this point, Tyberdu began to seriously lay out defensive strategies for his players.

Tyberdu is really lackluster in offensive tactics, but he still has some experience in defense. After arranging a defensive strategy, the Knicks and their morale were really boosted.

Tyberdu's psychological motivation and rigorous tactical preparation have boosted the team's morale slightly.

At this time, it was not far from the start of the game, and Tyberdu let his players into the court to start warming up.

Today is the matchup between the top three in the East, and the last game between the two teams was very exciting, and the attention it received this time can be imagined, it is simply a lot of attention.

And the two sides of today's war also have Li Feng, a Chinese, and Chinese means hundreds of millions of viewers. It means a lot of eyeballs, and the showdown between the economy and globalization is simply Stern's dream game.

Of course, this game is broadcast live across the country, and ESPN has done a lot of publicity for this game before the game, and has specially produced a promotional video.

When the Knicks walked into the court, the Pacers players were warming up on the other side of the court.

But when the Knicks players walked in, none of the Pacers players looked back at the side.

They're all doing their things as if they didn't see the Knicks players.

The Pacers' players simply ignored the Knicks and didn't have any communication with the Knicks' players.

ESPN's commentary today is very famous Shaquille O'Neal and Magic Johnson, and at this time, Fat O'Neal, who was in the commentary box, began to do pre-game foreshadowing, and he began to talk to Johnson.

"Even before this season, we knew the Trail Pacers were going to be a strong contender for the title. Everyone also knows that the time for revival has arrived for the walkers. ”

"But in the previous matchup between the two teams, the Knicks had the most laugh, will this game be as exciting as the last one?"

Ao Fat's series of questions suddenly made the fans in front of the TV have the same emotion in their hearts.

Ao Pang shifted the topic to Li Feng, also because Li Feng has been too popular recently.

After chatting with Li Feng for a while, Ao Pang suddenly changed the topic and said:

"Although Li Feng has been doing well recently, he doesn't like New York, and he still thinks the Pacers will win."

Ao Fat's subjective turn made Johnson and the audience in front of the TV laugh.

The game time started quickly, Hibbert and Cousins stood in the center circle, the referee threw the basketball, Hibbert pointed the ball to Hill's hands without any suspense, and the starting lineup of the Pacers today is point guard Hill, scoring guard Paul George, small forward Danny Granger, power forward West, center Hibbert.

In this lineup of the Pacers, the main scoring is still West, Granger, and George Trident, Hill is far from growing up at this time, and Hibbert has little hope on the offensive end. So the Pacers are still a defensive team, and they don't have the ability to blossom in all their rounds. (To be continued......)
