Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 512 Team Change
Horford's three-pointer can be played by surprise. After the Knicks noticed, he didn't have such a good chance.

Jokic's defense is not that strong, but the inside line who shoots three-pointers from the outside will not be so flexible. The Knicks' overall defense can still be handled.

The biggest problem for the Eagles is not that they don't have top strengths, and their defense is not good.

It's not particularly bad, but it's one of the last in the strong teams.

After not being caught by surprise, the Knicks began to gradually control the situation.

Without Gobert, the Knicks still have both offense and defense, and their defensive ability is not much worse.

Jokic has poor defense, but has weight and can top defense.

In addition, Antetokounmpo is upgraded again, he can help defend at the fourth position, and the Eagles are getting more and more uncomfortable.

Insufficient attack, weak defense, no top strengths, only strong for one season can only be regarded as a dark horse.

There are many such teams, and in the end they are all unsustainable.

Because after they are figured out, it is difficult to make any good adjustments.

It may not become a weak team all of a sudden, but it will become stagnant and difficult to have a sense of presence.

In the first half, the Eagles still stabilized.But in the second half, they obviously couldn't hold on.

In the third quarter, Leonard broke out strongly. They couldn't stop Leonard when they had Carroll before, and now it is even more difficult to limit. The Knicks immediately took the advantage.

Under high intensity, it will be more obvious who is the real strong.

At the end of the quarter, the Eagles couldn't get the ball to anyone.

In fact, they are not far behind, and their offensive teamwork was not bad until the end.

However, they have no hope of overtaking the score at all.

In the end, there is no doubt that the Knicks started with two consecutive victories, while the Eagles started with two consecutive losses. The situation in the East may change again.But it won't involve the Knicks, the Knicks are the strongest.

In October, the Knicks also have an away game against the Wizards.

The Wizards also belonged to the team that kept the main lineup in the summer and only made minor adjustments.

The biggest change in the East is actually the two transactions of the Knicks.

Unlike the West, the Timberwolves have made some big news again.

In fact, it was a follow-up to Zhang Sixin's establishment of the team, and they even traded Love out.

As the hero of winning the championship, the Timberwolves traded Love to give people a bad feeling.

But the Timberwolves are under pressure on their salary now, and their grades are not as good as before.

Love, as a top-paid player, after Zhang Sixin left, his strength feels a little watery, and he can only abuse food.

Coupled with a lot of injuries, the abuse of food is not so stable. The Timberwolves and Love's contract renewal talks collapsed, so they can only choose to trade to save money.For a player like Love, the Timberwolves are unwilling to continue to pay the maximum salary, and other teams will definitely be willing.

As a result, Love went to the Warriors in exchange for David Lee's expiring contract and draft picks. This is the biggest news of the summer.

The Wizards got off to a good start, after all, they have Shuangqiang and Milicic, and now the young player Porter has also played.

It's just that they have changed their style and their defense has become worse, and now they don't know whether it is good or bad.

From the beginning of the game, the Knicks felt the difference in the Wizards.

After all, they were cautious in shooting three-pointers last season, and they shot all kinds of three-pointers as soon as they came up.The team's rhythm has also become faster, and Milicic has become more instrumental.

However, defensive three-pointers are the Knicks' strengths, and the Wizards can be said to have hit it.

Only an insider like Gooden who sneaks from the outside can have a chance to hit a three-pointer.

In addition, after their defense weakened, they couldn't prevent the Knicks' offense at all.

Leonard and Antetokounmpo played in offensive and defensive transitions, and both easily scored in double figures.

The current Wizards are not as threatening as before.

Milicic's help defense was weakened because of the faster transition between offense and defense.

But the Wizards also chose to try in order to go further, and it is impossible to change their style of play.

With no feeling in the first half, Wall and Bill forcibly used their personal abilities to help the team recover the disadvantage in the third quarter.

To be honest, if this kind of two-gun team feels like scoring points, it might really be able to kill the top teams.

It's a pity that the two of them fought like this and it was not stable.

In the final quarter, Lowry locked Wall, and the Wizards suddenly collapsed.

Now neither of the Wizards can be said to be at the peak, and it is difficult to find them even if they go crazy, so it is actually quite difficult for the Wizards to rise.

The Knicks are still a bit busy in the early part of the new season, but they are not as tight as last season's schedule.

November began quickly, and the Knicks also ushered in the challenge of the Spurs.

Another major event happened in the western summer, and that was the disintegration of the Blazers.

The Blazers also chose to start over because their grades were not up or down.

Their former top star Aldridge chose to join the Spurs and become Duncan's successor.

The Spurs have acquired a new All-Star and are looking to reemerge as Western Conference contenders.

Even if the Spurs' record in the past few years has been good or bad, and they have not selected any talented seedlings, it is really difficult to fully rise.

Their previous glory was due to Duncan, but now Duncan is really old.

However, when the Spurs' strength declined, they picked up defense again, so they were much more stable than the Mavericks and other teams.

Facing a relatively strong team defense, the Knicks are not so easy.

Even if Duncan is almost 40 years old, guarding the penalty area still has a certain deterrent effect.

Among his contemporaries, no one can help the team like him.

It is a rare situation that it can be of great help to the team when it is unable to maintain its state.

However, their offensive end is not strong enough, and they can only play team basketball completely.

In the first half, the two sides were evenly matched, and Aldridge's performance under Antetokounmpo's defense could only be said to be average.

The Spurs may be able to take advantage of the playoffs by relying on Aldridge, but it is impossible to re-emerge. Aldridge is a bit worse than Duncan.

In the second half, Leonard began to show the strength of a superstar, and the Spurs couldn't stand it anymore.

Once Leonard shows off his strength, the Spurs' team defense will have a loophole, and then a group of Knicks' starters can score. After all, except for Green, everyone else is at the All-Star level. If they break out, even if the Spurs regain their defense, they still can't handle it.

A team-type team just can’t keep going. It’s like a fighter in the ring who has only skill but no strength. He can suppress the opponent, but he can’t knock him down. When the opponent reacts and makes a few blows, they may be KO.

Now, the Knicks are the team with the strength to take away the Spurs.

After the Knicks took the lead in the third quarter, the Spurs had little to do.

At the end of the quarter, Aldridge was completely unable to stand up. The Spurs still had to rely on old Duncan, and there was no way to lose.

As a result, the Knicks easily won the Spurs when the score did not seem to be much different.
