Almost visibly, the New York Knicks players have improved their speed and distance, as well as the frequency of their pick-and-roll interactions.

It also forced the Houston Rockets players to speed up their runs.

The change of direction has increased the pace of some of the matches.

Suddenly, Da Yao suddenly rushed out from under the basket and came to the free throw line.

The Houston Rockets players were nervous.

With their understanding of Da Yao.

At this time, Da Yao ran to the vicinity of the free throw line, and most likely wanted to attack with the ball himself.

The Houston Rockets know very well how terrifying Da Yao's offensive ability is in the high post.

Compared with Dazhi of his own team, he is not weak at all!

It's even stronger.

After all, Da Yao's height and arm span are still better than Dazhi.

And the difference between the two people such as the softness of the hand is also very small.

From or on the one hand, if Da Yao uses the independent action of the golden rooster, it may be more difficult to defend than Dazhi.

So, they also had to get nervous.

In the past, how aggrieved other teams were when facing the Houston Rockets' Dazhi with the Golden Rooster's independent shooting moves.

The current Houston Rockets are so nervous.

However, to everyone's surprise.

Da Yao's purpose in coming to the free throw line was not to take the initiative to attack with the ball.

It's to help your teammates with pick-and-roll coordination!

As soon as Yao came to the free throw line, Kyle Korver rushed from the left to the right.

rushed from behind Da Yao.

Sean Battier, who was originally in charge of defending Kyle Korver, was blocked by Da Yao's massive body.

Kyle Korver took advantage of the opportunity to make an open three-pointer.

Allen Iverson immediately passed the basketball in his hand.

Kyle Korver received the basketball and started shooting.

"Huh!"

Three-pointers are scored.

The score became 5-3.

Turning around, the Houston Rockets attacked.

Francis dribbles towards the frontcourt.

Just after crossing the halfway line, Allen Iverson suddenly stepped forward to press.

The New York Knicks' defensive intensity suddenly increased.

From the original positional battle defense, it has become a tight defense after halftime.

Although Francis was very focused, he really did not expect that Allen Iverson would rush up and press him just past the halfway line.

Without noticing, Francis's basketball was cut off by Allen Iverson.

Then, Allen Iverson dribbled all the way to the frontcourt.

Before the Houston Rockets players could rush back to the defense, they scored with an easy layup.

Immediately after, it was the turn of the Houston Rockets to attack.

Francis was very careful this time.

Slowly dribbling to the frontcourt, his eyes have been staring at Allen Iverson, who has been about a meter and a half away from him.

It's a pity that this time Allen Iverson didn't press forward.

It's just that he keeps a suitable distance from Francis, which creates a feeling of oppression for Francis.

This time, the Houston Rockets players have a concern in their hearts.

The fear is that the players of the New York Knicks will suddenly pick up the tempo and tighten up their defense.

Only, to their surprise, this time the New York Knicks didn't do it.

It's just a step-by-step positional war.

Finally, the Houston Rockets players also found an open shot with their running position.

Manu Ginobili was near the bottom right corner, received a pass from his teammate, and then got up to shoot.

"Huh!"

Two points were scored and the score between the two teams came to 5-5.

The score was tied between the two sides.

Judging from the court, the Houston Rockets and the New York Knicks seem to be evenly matched.

If it is the head coach of another team, you may be a little anxious at this time.

After all, it's back to its home turf.

Although it made up for the disadvantages in the first two games.

But playing on your home turf, as long as you don't have a clear advantage, it's like being at a disadvantage.

At this time, most managers are a little anxious and want to see immediate results.

However, Han Ning was not in a hurry at all.

Just sit quietly on the bench and watch the game.

The new tactical style of play he arranged has not yet come to fruition.

The game is still ongoing.

The New York Knicks attack.

After Allen Iverson dribbled to the front court, he suddenly picked up speed and tried to break through to the right.

Francis hurriedly pounced for a close quarter.

However, Aaron Iverson did not continue to try to break through, and instead passed the basketball directly to his teammate Jose Calderón.

At the same time, the rest of the New York Knicks are also on the move.

Moreover, Da Yao has already established himself in a high position and began to act as a fulcrum to help the team's ball transfer.

The basketball was passing quickly in the hands of the New York Knicks.

Combined with the running position, the rhythm of the attack was quickly raised for a while.

The Houston Rockets players were just in the middle of a slower-paced offense.

In a blink of an eye, it entered a fast-paced defense.

All of a sudden, many Houston Rockets players were a little uncomfortable.

And, with this feeling of slowness and speed, the Houston Rockets players also felt that their physical strength began to be consumed rapidly.

Soon, the New York Knicks found a good opportunity.

The basketball was passed to Kurt Thomas.

At this point, Kevin Cato, who was originally in charge of marking Kurt Thomas under the basket, has been pulled away a little by other New York Knicks players who are running.

Kurt Thomas almost got an open shot under the basket.

With his right hand, he lifted the basketball high and sent it directly into the basket from the side.

"Huh!"

The New York Knicks scored two more points.

Turning around, the Houston Rockets attacked.

Just when the Houston Rockets players thought they could breathe a sigh of relief and slow down the pace of the game.

The New York Knicks, however, picked up the tempo of the game again and began to play a tight defensive style of play after halftime.

Under such a fast pace, the state of the Houston Rockets players began to be affected.

Even if he has run an open three-point opportunity.

However, even Manu Ginobili, the team's most consistent three-point shooter, has been greatly affected.

"Bang dang!"

Manu Ginobili throws a basketball and smashes the basket.

The rebound was protected by Kurt Thomas.

After Han Ning saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Missed any open three-pointers.

It is enough to show that the tactical play he designed is starting to work!
