Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 447 Battle Spurs

The Knicks ushered in the San Antonio Spurs in this game at home.

The overall style of the Spurs this season has changed a lot, from the previous positional warfare to a more "running and bombing" style of play, and they have also developed a characteristic "quick hit" this season by relying on this style of play. whirlwind".

No one could have imagined that the three "creaking" classic cars could still have the energy for racing at this stage of their careers, and what is even more surprising is that they really started racing!
25 wins and 4 losses, this is the current record of the Spurs. After Yi Jianlian left the Milwaukee Bucks' tactics and began to decline, they have also become the team with the best record in the league by virtue of this record!

This is undoubtedly another surprising fact-the Spurs have been used to "playing dead" in the regular season for so many years, but they stopped playing this year!
It's just that the "classic car" that made the entire league fearful didn't roar like before at the home court of the New York Knicks tonight. They fell behind as soon as the game started. They were also good at "running and bombing" and In front of the New York Knicks with younger players and more athletic ability, the Spurs could not suppress the New York Knicks only by relying on smooth cooperation. In the second half of the first quarter, they gradually failed to catch up with the speed of the New York Knicks.

There are two ways to restrain "running and bombing", one is positional warfare, and the other is to run faster than the opponent!

What the Knicks did today was to run faster than the Spurs. After gaining a slight advantage of 32 to 28 in the first quarter, the second quarter was "overwhelming" and completely controlled the rhythm of the game , By halftime, the point difference had widened to 8 points, nearly a double-digit point difference.

However, it can be seen from the fact that the Spurs have been suppressed and have not yet collapsed. The Spurs' tactical quality is definitely the highest team in the league. In the process of transferring the ball at high speed, it still maintains a smooth cooperation, which is unmatched by other teams. Of course, some teams have learned from the past, and that is the Golden State Warriors, especially the "Death Five". The cooperation between them is definitely a Spurs-level tactical quality, and that team also fully embodies the words "defensive counterattack".

To be honest, the key link of "running and bombing tactics" to increase the speed of offensive and defensive transitions lies in the "counterattack" of "defensive counterattack". As long as the speed of counterattack can be increased, the speed of offensive and defensive transitions will not slow down much. go!

The game continued in the second half. The Spurs, who were obviously tired from the Knicks' offensive rhythm in the first half, failed to show any signs of recovery after a 20-minute break in the half, and were still led by the nose by the New York Knicks. The Knicks failed to continue to expand the score in the third quarter, but the Spurs also failed to catch up.

At the end of the three quarters, the point difference is still 8 points.

It's not that the Spurs didn't do well tonight. For example, their defense against Yi Jianlian is very good tonight. The Spurs' defense focus is on Yi Jianlian today, and at the same time, they also focus on attacking Yi Jianlian on the defensive end. Compared with Courtney Lee, Roger Mason's defensive ability is too far behind, which makes Yi Jianlian have to be distracted in the flank defense, which consumes too much Yi Jianlian's physical energy.

And that's why Yi Jianlian didn't perform too well on the offensive end tonight.

To say that Popovich is also really cruel, Roger Mason was also a player who earned his worth from the Spurs. The Spurs made several lore shots and was the "Mr. Key" of the Spurs in those years.

But tonight, Popovich caught the "Mr. Key" of the Spurs and whipped him violently, hitting Roger Mason at the most deadly place.

Popovich: Back then, I brought you up with shit and shit, how could I not know your shortcomings?

Roger Mason was sieved by the Spurs on the defensive end tonight. If Yi Jianlian did not fill in for him, with his performance tonight, he felt that he would be directly sprayed and retired!

The still eight-point difference also proves that the Spurs are effective against Yi Jianlian, at least relying on other Knicks players can't beat them to death with a single stick!
In the fourth quarter, both sides took the main force at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Popovich wanted to narrow the score in one go at the beginning of the fourth quarter. D'Antoni's idea was similar to his. To expand, it is best to directly establish the victory. In short, it is to make the opponent feel uncomfortable!

The two sides have also entered into a fierce battle between you and me from the very beginning, and the score is constantly rising alternately. It is worth mentioning that D'Antoni's "running and bombing" concept has obviously improved, which is different from the previous two years in the Suns. Now he began to emphasize the defense.

This is also the reason why he was able to succeed in the Rockets later. "Run and bomb" was synonymous with no defense a few years ago, but later, who would dare to say that "run and bomb tactics" had no defense!
Yi Jianlian still put most of his energy on defense in the fourth quarter.

However, without creating offensive opportunities for him, the Knicks' offense began to weaken. Stoudemire and Felton failed to score consecutive offenses. The Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to narrow the score difference to 2 points.

D'Antoni turned a blind eye to all this, and had no intention of changing his formation at all.

"Mike, are you sleepwalking? Can't you see that Yi is being double-teamed by three people?"

"Mike, can you design two tactics for Yi, the guy who ranks first in scoring, can you pay more attention to it?"

"My God, even if I win this game, I will feel bad. McD'Antoni's command makes me feel like I am watching a sleepwalking guy sleep on the sidelines. I can also be the Knicks with this command. The head coach!"

The Knicks fans at the scene booed D'Antoni one after another. Their city hero was being double-teamed by three people on the field, but this guy actually had his arms around his chest, looking confident!

I said, are you blind?

There were all kinds of turmoil from the fans off the court, and Yi Jianlian on the court was not waiting for death. He never put his hopes on the coach, and Xiao K was not a guy with excellent on-the-spot adaptability. "It is also a tactic that he only experimented after being double-teamed one after another. In his opinion, D'Antoni's on-the-spot adaptability is worse than that of Little K. If he is expected to come up with a solution, I am afraid that he will have to wait ten years. After a few games.

If he really waited for him, then Yi Jianlian wouldn't be able to eat any hot dishes.
