After Tim Duncan received the basketball, he glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

It's not like he hasn't played against Kurt Thomas before.

He still knows a little about this player.

If it weren't for the Knicks and Da Yao, then I'm afraid everyone would think that he is the most suitable interior player for Allen Iverson.

The offensive means are relatively simple, generally based on mid-range jumpers. But his medium- and long-range range is capable of expanding to about 18 feet.

In a way, Thomas can pull away to the basket to a greater extent, providing a response to the return pass after the perimeter small man penetrates the break, as long as the guards can attract the opponent's box defense, Kurt can draw the opponent's box defense. Thomas' mid-range shooting can be a nightmare for opponents.

In terms of offense, this is a perfect match for Allen Iverson.

The two of them don't even need any tactics, they only need to play a dozen blocks and dismantles, which is enough to break through in this alliance.

Defensively, Kurt Thomas is nicknamed "Crazy Eye" and "Dirty Kert".

His defensive prowess is far beyond the average interior player at the moment, Thomas can play one-on-one against most of the big men in the league, and is an excellent role model for other interior players in terms of defensive awareness.

In the league, there are only one of the few interior defenders who are not afraid of Duncan, Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Garnett, and even O'Neal.

But it is because the Knicks still have Da Yao who needs to occupy a certain amount of the ball, so the outside world will say that the lineup of this Knicks team does not match.

There is no compatibility between Da Yao and Aaron Iverson.

There are even many people who think that if the Knicks don't have Da Yao, they will be stronger.

Even if Da Yao is already recognized as the No. 1 center player in the league.

However, the level of lineup match is still a very important part of the strength of a team.

But who would have thought that Aaron Iverson would pass the ball now.

All the previous remarks that were not optimistic about the Knicks were suddenly broken.

On the contrary, the Knicks' strength prediction has been raised several notches!

If given a choice, Tim Duncan would rather play against Da Yao than against Kurt Thomas.

However, he had no choice.

After a light sigh, Tim Duncan directly chose to hit the back.

One, two, three.

After struggling to move a little distance to the basket, he suddenly turned around quickly.

With his left hand, he raised the basketball high and hooked it lightly, ready to end the offense with a hook shot.

However, Da Yao has been waiting on the side for a long time!

Long before he played, Han Ning had assigned him and Kurt Thomas a task.

Stare at Tim Duncan!

Even allowing the Spurs' other interior players to score doesn't make Tim Duncan feel a little bit easier under the basket.

Jumping forward, he slapped the basketball with the palm of his right hand.

"Smack!"

With a loud bang, the basketball was directly slapped out by Da Yao.

It happened to fall into the hands of Aaron Iverson.

Aaron Iverson didn't hesitate and turned straight to start a fast attack.

Use your speed to go straight to the Spurs' basket.

Jumping hard, he held the ball high in both hands, stretched his belly in the air, and pressed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

“Ba

g！ ”

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”

The Knicks fans at the scene suddenly felt their hormones soaring, and everyone blushed with excitement.

It's such a great start!

Da Yao and Kurt Thomas both stretched out their arms and slapped their palms.

Obviously, both of them are very happy with the cooperation just now.

Only Tim Duncan's expression was very ugly.

It was the first time he felt how much pressure he had to face when the admiral wasn't around.

He turned his head and glanced at Han Ning, who was standing not far away.

Suddenly, he seemed to be smiling at him.

Suddenly, Tim Duncan had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

This kind of smile, he'd seen before.

Probably, it was the time when I was crushed psychologically.

It's like the time when I was broken by trash talk.

I don't remember exactly.

But as soon as he saw that smile, Tim Duncan knew that nothing good was going to happen next.

It's still the Spurs offense.

This time, it was Curt Thomas who defended Tim Duncan.

Tim Duncan's expression was a little displeased, and after doing a low-post pick-and-roll with his teammates, he came to the other side of the basket and replaced Kurt Thomas with Da Yao to defend him.

Then he reached out and asked for the ball.

Tony Parker didn't hesitate and passed the basketball again.

One, two, three.

Relying on the back hit, he struggled to go a few steps to the basket, and then turned around quickly.

Holding the basketball up in the air with both hands, his eyes staring straight at the basket, ready to end the offense with a mid-range shot.

However, in the next second, something happened that no one expected.

Just as Tim Duncan began to turn, Kurt Thomas dropped off Spurs' starting center Rasu Nesterovic and pounced on Tim Duncan.

Although Da Yao was hit by Tim Duncan's back to open up some space.

But Kurt Thomas didn't!

And from the moment Tim Duncan just started to turn around and threw down Rasu-Nesterovic and rushed over, it is enough to show that he has been keeping an eye on the situation here.

Or rather, from the very beginning, he planned to come over and flank Tim Duncan, and he didn't pay attention to Rasu Nesterovich, who he was supposed to defend.

Straight at Tim Duncan and jumped.

"Smack!"

Another big hat!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The entire Madison Garden Plaza arena was full of people.

It's been a long time since they've seen their team play such an amazing start!

The Knicks attack.

Allen Iverson slowly held the ball up front.

His eyes were staring straight at the basket.

He also had itchy hands.

Although knowing that passing can take the whole team and fulfill what it means to be a legendary leader.

But it still can't stop his deep desire to score.

When Tim Duncan saw this scene, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, it's not an inside line.

He had just been tortured by Da Yao and Kurt Thomas, who were already very uncomfortable.

If the Knicks continue to focus on the interior now, then he doesn't know how tired he will be in this game!

"Aaron! Alan! Keep our plans in mind! Han Ning suddenly shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Aaron Iverson immediately understood.

Then he suddenly picked up speed and shook off Tony Parker's defense in one step. Straight to the basket.

Immediately afterwards, Kurt Thomas, who was originally opposite Tim Duncan, withdrew directly and came to the high position.

Tim Duncan had barely reacted when he saw Allen Iverson running towards him.

This is determined to beat him for this!
