After the timeout, the Suns stepped up their protection for backcourt rebounds.

But this is exactly what Wang Shuo wants.

Because the Suns want to protect their backcourt rebounds, their forward line will have to go back to help Smalls.

In this way, the Suns will not be able to launch a conversion attack in the first place.

On the court, the Suns attacked, Iverson showed his killer nature, and under Rondo's entanglement, he suddenly stopped and made a jump shot, and scored two points for the Suns with Rondo's long arms.

CCTV, Yang Yi commented sharply after seeing this scene: "You see, they are also athletes with a height of 183 cm, and Iverson will not play hesitantly like Paul." ”

In this life, under the influence of Wang Shuo, Iverson's popularity in China has always been very high.

On the contrary, it is Paul, because of the previous three consecutive tragedies, he has become the object of everyone's usual complaints after dinner.

Yang Yi is a shrewd person, so in this time and space, he will definitely not be the cannon leader in Wang Shuo's memory.

Coming back, the Knicks attacked.

Looking at the Knicks player who was in the position with a triangle offense, Xiao Si immediately knocked three small question marks on his forehead.

No!

Can you guys change tactics?

Even if......

Even if you ask Brother Yao to shoot three points like he did against the Heat?

After the end of the Western Finals, Xiao Si, who had watched countless videos of the Eastern Finals, was actually not very worried about him Brother Yao shooting three points in front of him.

Because of Xiao Si's speed, he is confident that he can save when Yao Ming "makes a three-point free throw".

However, in the face of Brother Yao, who only wanted to beat him on his back at the moment......

Xiao Si is obviously not calm!

Because of his Brother Yao's back hit, how many centers in the league today can withstand it?

"Amare has really improved in the low post defense in the last two years." On the sidelines, on the Knicks bench, Brown praised Little Staught.

Wang Shuo nodded, "Amare is a hardworking, hardworking child. Even tonight, our tactics were too much against him. ”

After a pause, Wang Shuo added: "But I don't think it's ruthless enough, we can increase our efforts a little more!" ”

On the Suns bench, looking at Yao Ming, who was carrying Xiao Si to score under the basket, Kerr was a clever woman at this moment.

Perhaps, if the boxing champion is left, the Suns will still be beaten by Yao Ming and Duncan.

But in the case that Marion can be placed at the small forward position, the Suns can limit the success rate of the Knicks' triangle offense on the court through the mobility of Smalls and Marion.

However, compared to Xiao Si being beaten on the court at the moment, Kerr is more worried that as the game time goes by, the Suns, who have just finished the tie-break, will not be able to keep up with the Knicks physically.

On the court, the Suns attacked, Dio and Iverson blocked and dismantled, and the latter broke through decisively, but the former's feints failed to deceive the old Hill, but made the Suns miss a good offensive opportunity.

If Wang Shuo is still coaching the Suns, Dio is likely to be replaced for not shooting this time.

But under Cole's system, because Cole has to rely on Dio to deal cards, Dior has developed the habit of not making easy shots on the field.

Fortunately, on the flanks, Xiao Si was promoted to a high position by covering Marion in time.

Seeing this, Dio got on the ball in time, and Xiao Si hit a jumper after receiving the ball.

This kind of ball, Wang Shuo will not blame the Knicks for not defending well.

Because Xiao Si's style dictates, you have to let him score points, you have to let him take them.

Coming back, the Knicks had the ball, and the moment he noticed that the Knicks didn't play a triangle attack this time, Ston Jr. burst into tears.

But before Xiao Si was happy for two seconds, he Yao Ge replaced Duncan in front of him through the block.

CCTV, Yang Jian explained: "At the beginning of tonight, Stoudemire is really busy, and after guarding against Yao Ming, he has to guard against Duncan." ”

On the side, Yang Yi smiled and said, "Who made you a 'little overlord'?" Overlord, don't you have to be trapped? ”

Targeted by the Knicks, in the first quarter tonight, Xiao Si only made 3 of 8 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, although he also scored 7 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, but compared with Xiao Si's previous performance in the Western finals......

Tonight, he is like a "little blacksmith".

The first quarter ended, 24-31.

Through the rebounding pressure in the frontcourt, the Knicks have always kept the pace of the game very slow tonight, and the Suns can't play a transition offense, so they have to keep cracking the Knicks' defense.

However, compared to the problems that the Suns had on the court in the first quarter of the game......

The second quarter of the game was clearly the biggest headache for Kerr.

In the previous Western Finals, because of the stubborn use of people by Van Gundy, Kerr can always prescribe the right medicine and deal with the Mavericks' luxury bench by staggering the playing time of Xiaosi and Iverson.

But......

Will Wang Shuo give him a chance like Big Van Gundy?

On the court, I saw that the Knicks' second-quarter lineup was Yao Ming, West, Ariza, Jr. Smith, and Rondo.

The Suns' second lineup is Smalls, Nicoloz Skitishvili, Dio, Stackhouse, and Boykins.

Wang Shuo continued to send Rondo to play in this quarter, if not for anything else, because he knew that in this quarter of the game, the Suns wanted to rest Iverson, so they could only replace Boikins.

On the court, the Knicks attacked, Yao Ming took the initiative to pull the bottom corner to smoke, and after West was promoted to the high post, Rondo sank into the low post.

Boykins was solid in the lower handicap, but he couldn't stand up to Rondo's height and long arms.

Bang, boom!

At the scene, Rondo turned around this time and hooked his hand to look directly at Ewing who was crying on the sidelines.

Because Rondo's standard center-forward move......

He had dreamed that Howard would play on the court.

Coming back, the Suns attacked.

Xiao Si, who was relieved during the break, quickly rebounded after blocking and dismantling with Boikins, but West directly left Skitishvili in front of Xiao Si and successfully stopped the Suns' pick-and-roll attack.

Skitishvili, who entered the NBA in the same year as Yao Ming, is 213 centimeters tall and weighs about 100 kilograms.

His nickname is "Georgian Nowitsky", and most long-time fans know that this guy must be a parallel commodity when they hear this nickname.

Historically, as the No. 5 pick in the first round in 2002, Skitishvili's career finishing rate will exceed 4 percent.

His ability to shoot three-pointers doesn't show up in the NBA, because he's too slim, so if you give him a little bit of confrontation, his shooting will be deformed like plasticine.

And his failure to play in the NBA has nothing to do with the Nuggets who drafted him.

Because in his rookie season, the Nuggets gave him a lot of opportunities to prove himself.

But he averaged 16.3 minutes per game, but he could only hand in an average of 3.9 points and 2.2 rebounds per game in the game.

Especially his spicy 29.3 percent shooting percentage and 23.5 percent three-point shooting.

After his rookie season, the Nuggets knew they had been deceived.

However, such a player who can't even get mixed up in the NBA can get playing time in this Suns team and can also play in the Finals......

One can imagine how good the Suns' bench is.

In fact, even if Wang Shuo is not as good as Rondo in this section, this sun is full of loopholes.

It's just that the "childlike" Wang Shuo wants to see Rondo play a low-post attack in the finals.

Compared with the previous East Finals, Wang Shuo has no pressure at all in this year's finals.

On the court, after two more rounds, Wang Shuo replaced Rondo with Dujon and gave West a wink.

Although I really want to see Yao Ming continue to bully Xiao Si, because Skitishvili's defense is so good, it is impossible for Wang Shuo to let go of the points given for nothing and not take it, and bully Xiao Si in order to bully Xiao Si.

The Knicks attacked, and West didn't even use his strength, so he left Skitishvili behind him and scored easily under the basket.

Coming back, after switching defenses with West, looking at Skitishvili who was pulled to the periphery, Xiao Yao didn't bother to take care of him, and after ensuring that there were Suns players in his defense area and would not trigger the defense for three seconds, Xiao Yao decisively turned on the paddling mode on the spot.

On the side, Xiao Si, who was in charge of attacking with the ball, was after a fierce ideological struggle......

Still, he chose to pass the ball to Skitishvili, who was in the vacant position.

And then......

In the deafening boos at the scene, you may not believe it, Wang Shuo noticed that when Skitishvili was shooting, his hands were shaking!

"Is he really an NBA player?" On the Knicks bench, Brown asked curiously.

In the future, on major forums, when an NBA player does not play well, most Chinese fans will complain that he only has a CBA level.

But let's be honest, just Skitishvili's performance tonight......

He may not even be able to look at the water cooler in the CBA.

Because the CBA does not support this kind of waste foreign aid.

In Wang Shuo's memory, Skitishvili really made a name for himself on the basketball court after he retired.

Because after retiring, he became an uncle, but he developed a strong muscle.

On the Suns' bench, watching Skitishvili's poor performance, Kerr knew he had to replace Marion early.

This year, after entering the playoffs, in order to ensure the intensity of the game, Kerr has always dared to use only seven rotations.

In this G1 battle of the finals, it was just because the Suns had just finished the tie-break, so Kerr could only use Skitishvili to come up and top it.

CCTV, Yang Yi said: "The Suns are now sleepy and tired, while the Knicks are waiting for work with ease, and their momentum is like a rainbow." ”

In the middle of the second quarter, in order to save some face for the Suns, Wang Shuo even asked Lao Horry to go up and play for a few minutes.

However, with Yao Ming's attraction, the elder Horry was very unparticular and hit two three-pointers for the Knicks through sneak attacks.

On the sidelines, Kerr was a little desperate, because this game, let alone giving Iverson the opportunity to play a critical attack at a staggered peak......

With the Knicks' bench pressed over in the second quarter, the Suns were on the verge of collapse at any moment.

And while Cole was thinking about a countermeasure in his head......

Savor, who sat in the stands tonight, was puzzled.

Because in his opinion, this is not the normal level of this sun at all!

Fight!

Why are you so unmotivated?

Have you forgotten what I told you before the game that we have no way back?

Madison Square Garden, amid waves of cheers from home fans, ended the half, 45-68.

The Knicks pulled straight away in the second quarter.

At halftime, in order to cheer up the team, Sarver rushed directly into the Suns locker room and kept instilling in the Suns players the idea that they must fight until the last minute.

In fact, even if Savor doesn't indoctrinate it, this Suns will not be so easy to be defeated.

In this game, the reason why the Suns collapsed in the second quarter was mainly related to the fact that they had just finished a tie-break.

But after being tossed around by Savor, Cole was eager to take a gun out of his crotch and kill the goods.

Can we stop tossing?

Can we stop putting pressure on the players?

This G1 battle, in Kerr's pre-game plan, could have been abandoned.

Robert Saver, don't you know that the great "God of Coaching" Wang Shuo once said that if you want to defeat the strong in a series, you must first calm down your mentality?

After the break, with the assistance of Savol, Xiao Si, who had warmed up in the second quarter, frequently hit iron on the field under high pressure.

Iverson's "penny of rain" can't rain this time, and under Rondo's entanglement, most of Iverson's breakthrough tonight has been converted into Yao Ming and Duncan's block data.

On the court, the Suns were exhausted, and the Knicks seized the opportunity to play an offensive climax again in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, 67-101, the final quarter of the game has completely reduced to garbage time.

TNT, Barkley said: "Coach Steve Kerr has to think seriously about the Suns' strategy for the next game, and in terms of tonight's game, the Suns and the Knicks are clearly not on the same level. ”

In the fourth quarter of the game, when the close-up of the scene was shown to the Suns' bench, Wang Shuo noticed that the faces of the Suns players were full of unwillingness and unconvinced.

At this moment, Wang Shuo was very pleased.

Because it proves that the spiritual belief he left to this sun is still there.

But in basketball, you can't win with spiritual conviction alone.

In the end, 90-128, the Knicks won a 38-point victory in the G1 game of the finals, ushering in the team's start to this round of the series.

The New York duo had 25 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and four blocks and 22 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks, respectively.

Yao Ming and Duncan played "poorly", mainly because the Suns fell too quickly, and the two of them couldn't continue to stay on the court to brush up on data.

On the Suns' side, Xiao Si shot 7 of 21 from the field, and scored a total of 21 points and 8 rebounds including free throws.

After the game, Iverson, who scored 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Suns, took the initiative to take the blame for Xiao Si and said: "In this game, we failed to provide a good output environment for Amare on the court.

We'll try to get our best out of the next game. ”

In fact, even if Iverson doesn't take the initiative to blame Xiao Si, no one will blame Xiao Si for this game.

Because of the previous O'Neill to make a comparison, many fans think that Xiao Si played well this time.

A day later, the G2 Grand Final between the two teams continued at Madison Square Garden.

Wang Shuo did not despise the Suns because of the big victory in the first game.

And Wang Shuo knows very well that in this round of the series, when there is an obvious grade gap between the Knicks and the Suns, his good brother Stern will definitely make a move.

Sure enough, in the G2 battle, as soon as the game started, Duncan was deprived of a block by the referee and paid a foul because of his behavior of using Iverson to brush his hat.

At the scene, at the moment when the referee blew the whistle, the old New York fans who were on the Stars and Stripes immediately exploded.

However, in this game, even if they will be shot in the street by New York gangsters when they walk out of the stadium, the referees must withstand the pressure and dare to blow the penalty "fairly and justly" on the field.

Because of this game, if the league does not raise a hand of the sun, how can there be suspense in this year's finals?

In this regard, Wang Shuo, who had been prepared, said to Brown: "Later, I will remind the players while the ball is dead, and some of the Sun's offense does not need to be so dead."

In this round of the finals, we can kill this Suns with just offense. ”

Wang Shuo is not worried that Iverson will "rain" in this game.

Because as long as the Knicks suppress the Suns through offense and make the Suns unable to bring up the rhythm of the game, the Suns are destined to not be able to compare the offensive efficiency with the Knicks.

In this G2 battle, the Knicks' focus is still Xiao Si.

In the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming shot 3 of 5, Duncan shot 4 of 6, and all the points of the "emoji combination" were obtained by hitting Xiao Si on his back.

Iverson was able to stabilize the situation for the Suns with "a penny of rain".

But without the firepower support provided by Xiao Si, the Suns' offensive ceiling is no higher than that of the Knicks.

The first quarter ended at 27-33.

With Iverson's performance on 9-of-10 free throws in a single quarter, the Suns barely collapsed.

In the second quarter of the game, in addition to replacing Stackhouse to rest Bell, Kerr kept the other four main players of the Suns on the court.

Through the death of the main force, Kerr successfully survived the most difficult stage of the Suns on the court.

But as the game entered the second half of the second quarter, the shooting rate of the Suns' main players began to decline significantly.

Iverson shot 0-of-4 in the second half of the quarter, while Smalls shot 1-of-5.

In the game, Marion, who kept cutting on the offensive end and was assisted on the defensive end, also played "missing" in the second half of the second quarter.

On the Knicks' side, after Duncan returned to the court, the Knicks' outside players began to rain three-pointers.

In the second half of the quarter, Yao Ming, Jr. Smith, and Du Hong all scored three points.

What?

Where's Rondo, you ask?

I'm sorry, because Iverson was too good at making fouls in this game, Lang didn't finish half the game and had already eaten three fouls.

At halftime, 51-64.

At halftime, Kerr encouraged Suns players to be brave enough to shoot three-pointers on the court.

Kerr is well aware that the three-pointer is the Suns' only hope of a comeback in this game.

However, after halftime, in the third quarter of the game, even if Iverson created a three-point open opportunity for the Suns through a breakaway, the Suns' players would have a hard time taking advantage of it.

Because in the case of extreme physical exertion, how can Suns players ensure that their technical movements on the court are not deformed?

No matter how much physical strength this Suns has, it has to follow the basic laws of the NBA.

As a result, the Suns' three-point rain did not fall, and Barry and Smith, who replaced Hill and Finley in the third quarter, gave the Suns another wave of three-point rain.

Because the Knicks are leading by a large score, the Knicks' outside attack group on the court is as easy as they can when they shoot.

If after the G1 game, Kerr thinks that the Suns still have the possibility of turning the tables in this series......

With this G2 battle, the Knicks entered the fourth quarter with a nearly 30-point lead, and Kerr was already thinking about how not to be swept by the Knicks in this round of the Finals.

It's not like the Suns' players don't play hard and don't work the court.

But what ......

In these two games, playing the Knicks can lead by a large score.

"If you were to lead this Suns team, how would you arrange the players and set up the tactics?" Before the start of the final quarter, Brown asked Wang Shuo a question on the sidelines.

Hearing this, Wang Shuo pondered for a while and said: "I will let the players relax and tell them not to think about the outcome of the game, but to enjoy this round of finals." ”

Hammer the hammer!

Wang Shuo was almost defeated by Carlisle's Pistons in the finals because of the Suns' bench depth problem.

It is true that in the past two years, the Suns have made great progress.

But......

No matter how much Xiao Si can play, his playing time is also limited.

In this round of the finals, Wang Shuo didn't think there was anything wrong with Cole's tactical arrangement.

Because the Knicks are completely crushing this Suns with hard power.

Anyway, it's still the same sentence.

Savol, who is complaining in the arena at the moment that the players did not do their best, is the number one contributor to the Knicks' success in winning the championship this year.

In Wang Shuo's view, at the Knicks' championship celebration banquet this year, Sarver will not come, and no one will be allowed to serve at the table!

As for Madison Square Garden, although the final quarter of this G2 game was once again reduced to spicy chicken time, none of the fans chose to leave the game early.

Because in a trance, Knicks fans found ......

This game seems to be the Knicks' last home game this season.

In the final quarter of the game, Wang Shuo sent all the players who had not played in this year's finals to the court, and so far, all the players in the 13-man roster of the Knicks playoffs this year have been given the opportunity to play in the finals.

In these two battles, I thought that I would have to watch the water cooler in the finals this year and see the death of old Horry became the happiest person.

In the last game, he scored nine points off the bench, and this game scored three more three-pointers in garbage time.

In his rookie season, Gortat, who was able to participate in the Finals with the team, experienced the feeling of being O'Neal in front of Skitishvili and on the NBA Finals stage.

This "Polish hammer" really doesn't give his Eastern European fellow face, on the court, Gortat will never shoot if he can dunk, vowing to leave his own wonderful shots on the stage of the finals.

And Rondo, who hasn't scored much since he entered the playoffs, is also a little itchy at this time.

Wang Shuo saw Rondo's careful thinking and said, "You are playing against Allen Iverson in the game, and in a one-on-one situation, I allow you to fire at any time."

It's okay if you want to shoot threes, as long as Yao and Tim are in the three-second zone, they can help you get the rebounds back even if you miss a shot. ”

Hearing this, Rondo was overjoyed.

In the end, 106-135, the Knicks sat at home and took another game, leading 2-0 in the finals.

In this game, Yao Ming and Duncan scored 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists, and 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, respectively.

The Knicks had a lot of points, with a total of seven players in double figures, and all the players on the court scored.

And the sun is here......

Even Iverson's die-hard fans would not dare to say that the Knicks won so easily because they were sitting at home.

Iverson made a total of 24 free throws for the game.

The Knicks combined for just 16 free throws.

Xiao Si once again became a "little blacksmith", shooting only 8 of 24 from the field, relying on free throws to score a total of 24 points and 11 rebounds.

After the first two fights, the New York media has even begun to discuss the question of who will win the MVP of the finals this year.

According to opinion polls, Yao Ming's approval rating is slightly higher than Duncan's.

This is because in the minds of Knicks fans, it was Yao Ming who led the Knicks out of the quagmire.

Of course, there were also some naughty fans who voted for West.

And compared to the cheerful atmosphere in New York, which is already preparing for the championship parade......

On the Suns' side, the players were in a good mood, and everyone did not give up because of the fiasco in the first two games......

But after the first two battles of the finals, Savor was like Wang Ba moving:

- The "turtle" can't stop it.

According to people close to Savor, Saver was very unhappy with Stoudemire's soft egg performance in the first two fights.

In addition, Sarver very much does not understand why a player like Marion, who has no offensive power with the ball, can get an annual salary of more than 10 million in this Suns.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, after Savor took over the Suns, he didn't like Xiao Si and Marion very much.

Historically, although the general statement of Xiao Si when he left the Suns in the future was that because the Phoenix "repair shop" was aware of Xiao Si's injury hazards, the Suns were unwilling to give Xiao Si a maximum salary.

But in fact, even if Xiao Si's body is not injured, Sarver does not like him.

As a racist, it was only after Sarver's explosion that people learned from his 80,000 pieces of stone hammer evidence that Sarver had always believed that black players did not deserve high wages.

And this life......

As Wang Shuo's former favorite general, it would be hellish if Sarvol could like Xiao Si and Marion!

In fact, if it weren't for Sarver's knowledge of Iverson's influence in the Black American Brotherhood, Sarver wouldn't have liked Iverson either.

For Savor, at this moment, he can't wait to completely cleanse this sun, completely wash away Wang Shuo's imprints.

And with this kind of fairy boss, it is no wonder that the sun, which once led the trend in the first decade of the 21st century, will rot for more than ten years.

To put it bluntly, in Wang Shuo's memory, if Van Savor can give some strength, he will not defeat the property left to him by the Corangelo father and son in a few years.

At this moment.

Phoenix fans may not believe it when they say it.

While they were still worrying about how the Suns would beat the Knicks in this year's Finals......

This sun that finally completed nirvana under the leadership of Wang Shuo......

It's about to be their long night.
