Chapter 114 Perfect Combination
Iverson is still the same Iverson, scoring 8 points alone in overtime, but unfortunately, the 76ers only scored 8 points in overtime.

Iverson scored 40 points, but this time Marbury laughed again. The Knicks won the victory 105:102, and 33 points are enough to prove his offensive power.

On November 11, the Knicks came to Miami, where big sharks were waiting for them, but their little sharks still couldn't play.

The Heat won first place in the Eastern Conference last season, but fell to the Pistons in the playoffs. They also actively operated in the summer and added a lot of combat power.

In a big deal involving 13 people from five teams, they got Jason Williams, Antoine Walker and James Posey, and signed Gary Payton and Jason Kapono. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

After being abused by the opponent inside, the Knicks have been chasing points since the first quarter.

At the last moment, the Knicks resorted to a small lineup. Li Hai, Marbury, Crawford and Nate Robinson were indeed terrifying on the offensive end, but the problem inside was flawed, and they were unable to recover. Lost to the Heat by 13 points.

Due to Quentin Richardson's performance getting worse and worse, the Knicks simply tried to start Nate Robinson when they returned to their home game against the Bulls on November 11.

Because of the deal between the two sides in the summer, this season the Bulls helped Tyson Chandler, the power forward position allowed the traded Michael Sweetney to start, and Tim Thomas, an important figure in the deal, was passive and sabotaged. Got into trouble with the team.

Although Eddie Curry is not particularly reliable, the transaction between the Bulls and the Knicks now seems to be a loss for the Bulls.

However, the Bulls' combat effectiveness is still leveraged. They now put the team's two main firepower, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng, on the bench. The team will not lack offensive power at any stage.

Although the Knicks' current lineup is not complete, the team is still much better than last season. At least it will not suffer in terms of height, and someone inside will step up.

Chandler's defense is good, but it's hard to meet Channing Frye, he can't defend at all.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks were Channing Frye who came out to catch the ball and hit 2 points.

Next, Li Hai blocked Andres Nocioni. He was already very experienced in dealing with the Argentine Li Hai, and he had an advantage against him. Standing in a defensive position, the opponent's attack must be restricted.

The Bulls currently have the strongest firepower is Ben Gordon, who also belongs to the type of strong offense and weak defense. When he came off the bench, he happened to meet Crawford, and the two exploded each other.

Ben Gordon scored three three-pointers when he came up, and the buzzer hit helped the Bulls overtake the Knicks by 3 points.

Nate - Robinson this starting, met the seasoned Hinrich, but played a little uncomfortable.

The key is that his style of play is also biased towards shooting guards, and his organizational skills are not good. It is unrealistic to rely on him to release Marbury's offensive power. The backcourt is short. This lineup can only be used as a surprise player, but it is a bit inappropriate as an official starter.

Both sides are mainly outside scoring, even inside players rarely attack at the basket.

From the beginning of the second quarter, under the request of the coach, the Knicks specifically aimed at the weak links of the Bulls' defense. Li Hai, Marbury and Crawford all strengthened their breakthroughs.

The scores of the two sides are still very close, but the Bulls' players foul problems are more prominent, and the Knicks' tactics have already had preliminary results.

The Bulls with the strongest scoring ability is Ben Gordon. Li Hai basically missed the opponent. He played against Nocioni and Luol Deng, and he defended the opponent extremely uncomfortable.

In the third quarter, the two sides still gave people the same feeling. The Bulls are the kind of team that blooms more. The result of the Knicks strengthening their defense is not very obvious.

Before the start of the final quarter, Larry Brown put all fouls on the tactical board.

His relatively rigid offensive tactics used various methods to pass the ball to the inside to score, or to catch a jump shot when he caught the slightest opportunity. There are several talented players in Li Hai, who can actually excel in some details.

In an interview in the summer, Larry Brown said that the Knicks players were right for his tactics. Several Knicks outside players are good jumpers. They can also play inside now. The media’s doubts are also correct. The same A few people, whether it is Li Hai, Marbury and Crawford on the outside, or Eddie Curry on the inside, are not the kind of players who play the game with a single eye.

So the Knicks have been grinding, and even the winning players and coaches are not particularly satisfied.

But while winning, the two sides are slowly making small changes.

As long as he can win the game, Larry Brown is not as stubborn as the rumors say, no matter how individual a player is, he will make compromises.

Among them, Li Hai can be regarded as the type of conciliator, he can accept two methods.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Chandler picked up his fifth foul, and then Marbury deliberately bumped into the opponent, knocking Chandler down.

Without Chandler sitting on the inside of the Bulls, after Li Hai came, the Knicks played a small lineup again.

Larry Brown is always dissatisfied with the defense. After Eddie Curry couldn't play, he saw Li Hai's ability to help defend, so he fell in love with this small lineup. .

But this time, it first played a lethal role on offense.

After Li Hai received the ball in the low post, he hit Nocioni with his back, but Nocioni couldn't stand it at all and could only foul.

Less than half of the fourth quarter passed, and Nocioni committed six fouls.

Now the height of the Bulls on the court is getting lower and lower. The three guards in the backcourt, Duhon, Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and the Knicks have become the same small lineup, and they have no money. Ning Frye is a "small guy" with a height of 2 meters.

At the last moment, the Bulls couldn't get inside at all. With a small lineup, Li Hai was on the inside, and they couldn't break through. They could only let Ben Gordon throw it outside.

Ben Gordon is also a ruthless character, and he is relentless in shooting at critical moments, but the Knicks are not afraid of this monotonous offensive method now.

However, it is difficult for Li Hai to catch the ball inside and the opponent is not easy to deal with. If he does not flank, no one can defend him. If he flanks Li Hai, he can pass Channing Frye inside. Wait, the Bulls' defense collapsed in no time.

From the beginning of the tactical advantage to the final explosion, this game can be said to be full of fun.

110:99, 11 points can't be considered a lot, but for the Knicks, it can be regarded as a victory with the perfect combination of tactics and player talent.
