Popovich and Tyberdu each had their own set-ups, and when the game came back in the second quarter, the Knicks kicked off first.

In the second quarter, although the Knicks decided to play fast-paced first, they attacked first and faced the Spurs' tight half-court defense.

The Knicks still chose a cautious attitude, and in the first moment when the Knicks pushed in, the Spurs immediately launched a dense defense.

Once the Knicks' defense is deployed, it is indeed powerful, and the Spurs' defense, like the Spurs' defense, pays more attention to footwork and strategy, and the main goal is to force the opponent into corners that are more difficult to shoot and pass.

The Knicks were not mentally prepared, came up to the first attack, and almost made a mistake, and the last thing was that Smith passed the basketball to Dragic, who fired outside the three-point line, but unfortunately Dragic was not allowed today, and the Knicks' first attack was unsuccessful.

The Knicks missed the first attack, and the Spurs came over and wanted to attack, and the Knicks' defense was also extremely good.

The Knicks' defense and the Spurs' style are completely different, although the Knicks also pay attention to footwork, but they pay attention to the bag and rotation, as well as cutting off the passing route, the Knicks' defense is aggressive, it is best to cause you to make mistakes, if you don't make mistakes, I want you to pass the ball uncomfortably.

The Spurs are a group of old men, and they can't keep up with the rhythm in the face of this kind of overall and aggressive defense.

Ginobili passed the ball to Gary Neil, who was still interfered with by Belineri with a quick shot, and the Spurs also missed.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the defensive intensity and pertinence of both teams skyrocketed.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams played superb defensive tactics.

As a result, both teams have increased the difficulty of scoring.

In this case, neither team scored a point in the opening minute. After a one-minute scoring drought.

The Spurs took the lead in substitutions, they replaced Leonard to strengthen the offensive ability, the Spurs replaced a main player, but the Knicks did not move, or Smith and Kirilenko led the team to play on the court.

On the one hand, this shows that the Spurs are more dependent on veterans, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Knicks have more confidence in young people.

Leonard is back on the Spurs side, and in the first round he came back, he immediately went down to the low post to eat Bellenneri.

In the first quarter, Leonard met a Li Feng who was faster than him and more powerful, and he was a little depressed. Now that I met Belineri, who is inferior in physical fitness, I finally saw my relatives, and hurriedly came over to warm my hands.

But he just got the basketball here, and Belineri gave Leonard a dismount, and came over and quickly pulled the ball out of his hand very fiercely.

Although the current Belineri is still the same Belineri, he is more ferocious in his style of play and is more able to project.

Although he didn't take Leonard's ball down this time, he had already ruined Leonard's rhythm.

When Leonard wanted to fight again, Vucevic's bag arrived. At this time, Leonard could only pass the ball to Blair, who pulled over, and Blair took the ball decisively from mid-distance, but the shooting rate was average.

Once Blair misses this shot, Kirilenko grabs the rebound under the basket. Suddenly, a sharp long pass, the basketball went directly to the hands of Smith, who was running in the front court.

In this case, Smith immediately changed direction quickly against Ginobili and went directly to the Spurs' penalty area.

Spurs were threatened into the box. As everyone shrank, Smith turned around and passed the ball to Kirilenko.

Kirilenko is not afraid of the Spurs with the ball, because Kirilenko also had a low shooting percentage before. Just when the Spurs were waiting for Kirilenko to shoot, Kirilenko made a covert pass to Belineri, who ran over.

Belineri ran over, caught the ball and threw three points, extremely fast, he used to shoot slowly, but today he shot very fast.

"Brush!"

Belineri finally scored, and the second quarter finally came up, and the Knicks broke the ice first.

It's a bad feeling for the Spurs, because being the first to break the ice in such a situation means that the opponent's offense could pick up.

And the Knicks play offense, which is something that the Spurs are unwilling to do, and if it is this kind of mutual stalemate without scoring, the Spurs are more willing to come.

Because an old team like the Spurs is good at slow work, but now that the Knicks have scored, the Spurs have to score when they play.

The Spurs came over again, still throwing the basketball to Leonard's side, and this time Leonard put away his contempt.

Take the ball steadily, take two steps back with the ball, and wait for his teammates to open up the space, then Leonard came up, one broke through with one hand and changed direction with one hand, and then broke through with one hand to change direction, two changes of direction in a row, Belineri was a little blind.

It was at this point that Leonard took a step-back step with a clear rhythm, jumped to the side with ease, and threw a mid-range jump with his hand.

Leonard jumped out of his hand, and the basketball simply fell into the Knicks' basket.

The Knicks scored, the Spurs started to score, both teams scored, and the pace of the game eased a little bit from the suffocating state to the present.

Once the atmosphere of the game eased up, the Knicks also relaxed a lot, the Knicks came up again, and Smith took the ball around Kirilenko to cover the high post.

Smith and Kirilenko are doing a duo cooperation, and today Smith and Kirilenko both have average projections, and the Spurs can take a step back to defend, so that the Knicks will be a little unable to play.

It was at this moment that Smith suddenly made a sharp change of direction and threw the basketball between the two defenders.

Then Smith's body flattened and drilled over at once, and Smith suddenly performed a beautiful move and drilled over.

When the Spurs stepped up their defense, Smith threw the ball off with one hand, and the basketball went directly to Vucevic under the basket.

Vucevic was about to dunk the ball when he got the ball, and at this time the Spurs could only use a foul to knock Vucevic down.

Vucevic went to the free throw line, but he also hit both free throws, watching the Knicks slowly play into shape.

The offense came out little by little, and at this time, the Spurs could only work up again.

Ginobili came over to get the ball and basically took on the responsibility of point guard, taking the ball in the high post to block and pass the ball to his teammates.

Smith's passes were all one-handed before, which was very coquettish. But Ginobili took the ball over and was relatively well organized, without coquettish movements, without surprises, but Ginobili passed the ball away.

The basketball fell into the hands of Gary Neil, who shot a three-pointer from the outside, but still missed.

In the second quarter, the Spurs' offense was a bit of a problem, and it was when the Spurs missed.

The Knicks ran over, and Smith suddenly accelerated when the Spurs were not on a firm footing. Smith's three-point accuracy, the speed is not slow, he took such a step, Ginobili has followed, but Smith's layup area is different from others, others are all under the basket to make a layup, he came up and was still far from the basket, so he picked up the basket directly.

This rhythm that is different from others goes against the defensive habits of ordinary people. Ginobili was also very unaccustomed to Smith playing like this.

Before he could react, Smith shot the basketball into the Spurs' basket.

At 30:26, before you know it, the Knicks are ahead of the Spurs!

At this time, the Spurs were a little anxious. After all, they played better than the other party in the first quarter, but now in the second quarter, they have two main forces, and the Knicks are not the main force and actually overtake, which makes them very passive.

At a time when Spurs are on the back foot. The Knicks, on the other hand, are more aggressive defensively.

The Knicks pounced on the defense, and Leonard took the ball and met the bag, turned around and passed the basketball to Matt Bonner.

Bonner threw a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line. Also missed, the Knicks had a shooting problem in the first quarter, and now the Spurs do.

The Spurs played a very good first quarter, and the second quarter was rightfully difficult.

Just when the Spurs missed the shot, the Knicks hit another counterattack.

The Knicks counterattacked, Smith advanced with the ball, Kirilenko went deep into the position near the penalty area, Kirilenko received the ball and passed the basketball out, Dragic took the ball and passed it directly to Belineri in the bottom corner.

Belineri raised his hand and made another three-point shot "Brush!" "Belineri's three-pointer hit again.

Today, although the Knicks are not allowed to score three points, there is rain in the clouds of Belineri.

At 33:26, this time the Knicks were about to completely open up the point difference, Popovich had no way to come up and immediately called a timeout, and when the Spurs called a timeout, the Knicks were indeed a happy scene.

In the opening minutes of the second quarter, Li Feng did not play, and the Knicks relied on the bench to pull the score away, which was great news.

Spurs also didn't expect that Italian Belineri would become their talisman today.

At this point, Popovich replaced Duncan on the bench, and the Spurs had to strengthen their team on both ends of the floor.

The Spurs replaced Duncan, and the Knicks immediately replaced Li Feng, and both teams replaced the players who had the most impact on the team.

After the timeout, as soon as the Spurs opened, the Spurs immediately hit a Duncan low post offense.

Duncan had just rested on the sidelines for a long time, and now when he was full of energy, it was just right to come back and play in the low post.

And at this time, it was Kirilenko who defended Duncan, although Kirilenko was tough enough, but not as high as Duncan, Duncan took the ball and pressed Kirilenko, and he was still a master of turning and attacking, Kirilenko was tough enough, but the height was not enough, and Duncan easily scored two points on his head.

Duncan came up and it really had an effect, and he scored two points directly.

Duncan is indeed powerful, iron-blooded enough, and reliable enough, at this time the Knicks came over, and the basketball was in the hands of Li Feng, but Li Feng did not play by himself, Li Feng took the ball but made a cover for Smith.

Li Feng arrived on the sidelines, although Smith didn't shoot a three-pointer, but he played a few balls well, seeing that Smith's state was about to come out, it was necessary for him to help this little brother, so Li Feng took the ball to cover Smith first.

Smith took advantage of Li Feng's cover and suddenly jumped to the side, and at this time Kirilenko came up to cover for the second time.

Smith's chance finally came, Smith's instant vacancy on the flank, and this time will test a shooter's shooting confidence!

Generally, a player's ability to shoot depends on half of his accuracy, and half depends on his confidence in shooting.

Smith is indeed a natural killer type player. That is, no matter what happens, his shooting confidence will not waver.

Now there is such an opportunity, Smith takes the ball or shoots, and Smith's ball is shot.

But if a person is accurate, there will be a day when he will not be able to vote, and Smith just doesn't have it at this time.

"Bang" Smith missed this shot, and Smith missed the shot when the Spurs fans were about to cheer at home.

Vucevic didn't know how to show up, holding down Bonner and tapping the rebound on Bonner's head.

The basketball was pointed out all at once, and Kirilenko had a big hand on his side, and he used to receive the basketball into his hands with a little collection.

The Knicks grabbed a frontcourt rebound from the Spurs. The Spurs suffered such a loss, and Popovich immediately rushed out and yelled.

But at this time it was too late, Kirilenko passed the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng took the ball and broke through, raised his hand to make a shooting feint, but below was a ground-hitting pass that smashed the basketball to the feet of Belineri.

Belineri's hands are really hot today, and when his hands are very hot, he has the confidence to shoot, and the more confident he is, the more accurate he is.

The basketball shot "brushed" Belineri's three-point shot again. This is the rhythm of the Knicks.

Suddenly Popovich's side was about to curse, and the Knicks' bench was jubilant all of a sudden.

Countering in the second quarter is a tradition for the Knicks, because the Knicks have strong bench players, and it is easy for the Knicks to play off the bench. After the bench players played, the main team took advantage of the situation to expand the score, and it was easy to play a wave, and now the Knicks are playing like this.

If it's a general team. If the Knicks hit it two or three times, the other party will spend it, and there will be no fighting spirit to compete.

But today the Knicks are up against the Spurs. It is a team and a city known for being tough and iron-blooded, and iron-blooded is not only the soul of the basketball team in this city, but also the other teams in this city.

So when they encountered difficulties, the Spurs were not afraid, and the more difficulties they encountered, the more these old guys bit and pressed on.

The Spurs chased after him, and amid the cheers of the San Antonio audience, the basketball went into Leonard's hands.

Leonard took the ball and commanded his teammates to open up the space, he wanted to beat Li Feng, Li Feng was naturally not afraid of Leonard.

The two of them were one-on-one, Leonard also learned about Li Feng's hardness when he took the ball, and at this time, Leonard did not use his body casually in the face of Li Feng, but pulled away the ball in a good rhythm, and Li Feng forced out in small steps.

This Leonard suddenly changed direction in front of a body, and then a step back, Leonard's step back is very famous, when Li Feng defended out, Leonard suddenly made a big turn, and Leonard turned around all of a sudden.

Li Feng posted it here, and when he harassed him, Li Feng made a gesture of reaching out, and Leonard immediately put the ball on Li Feng's arm, and then jumped up and screamed.

Leonard deliberately made Li Feng's foul, and Li Feng was stunned by Leonard here, and just like that, the referee immediately blew a foul on Li Feng behind Li Feng.

was blown such a foul, Li Feng couldn't cry or laugh, an old thing like Leonard really has a trick.

Li Feng was fouled by Leonard, he was very helpless, and Leonard went to the free throw line with a calm face and hit both free throws.

At such moments, Spurs still don't give up.

The Knicks hit the ball in the backcourt, and Li Feng immediately stuck Leonard on the wing, and Li Feng wanted to do one-on-one with Leonard.

Li Feng also let all the Knicks players pull away and play alone, and Leonard left half a step of space at this time to stare at Li Feng.

Li Feng glanced at Leonard, and suddenly smiled, Leonard was here when he didn't understand what Li Feng was laughing at.

Li Feng threatened, stabbed a step forward, then shook to the left, suddenly dribbled a step forward, his footsteps were steady, he kicked the ground hard, and his body jumped in the direction of the side and back.

Li Feng made a step-back shot in front of Leonard, and Leonard didn't expect it to be too late when he wanted to defend it.

Li Feng shot basketball, and the arc was a perfect shot.

"Brush!"

Li Feng played a step back in front of Leonard, which made people feel interesting.

At this time, Joan Bari also said:

"Li Feng really doesn't suffer a loss, he doesn't want to suffer at all, Leonard made a foul on Li Feng, and he immediately used a step back to score on Leonard's head, this is so interesting."

Bill Wharton then said:

"Then now how Leonard responds to Li Feng!"

Li Feng really has the ability to score at critical moments, even in the face of Leonard, this scoring ability is still useful.

The Spurs are now facing a wave from the Knicks. The wave offense was actually very difficult, but at this time, the Spurs were still not messy, and they did not let Leonard continue to fight with Li Feng, but activated Ginobili's off-ball tactics.

Ginobili is still the bottom line of the bottom line this time Haidilao Moon ran widely, the Spurs used three covers for Ginoby in succession, Ginobili ran out to catch the ball, and Smith was already in place at the first moment of getting the ball.

But at this time, Ginobili quickly raised his hand to shoot directly, and Ginobili shot directly in front of Smith.

At this moment, Smith was in a slight trance, Ginobili completed the shot, and the basketball "brushed" and fell into the basket.

As soon as Ginobili scored, San Antonio's home stadium immediately "Whoop!" Everyone cheered, this was a beautiful three-pointer that the Spurs hadn't made in a long time.

And Ginobili shot in front of Smith, and Ginobili used his actions at this time to prove to Smith that he was not old yet, and he was still the demon knife. (To be continued......)
