(Due to trivial matters, I can’t type with peace of mind. Sorry, it’s the first update today. I’m sorry, I’m in a bad mood, so I gritted my teeth and typed out a chapter. In fact, according to my mind, I shouldn’t type a chapter to perfunctory readers)
The halftime break ended and the game continued. Blake Dolan couldn't even adjust his tactics during the halftime break. In fact, tactics are no longer important now because eight players are simply not enough to support the current Knicks' offensive tactics system.
Ostertag replaced Scottie Pippen to rest, and Charlie Ward replaced Jose Calderon. The players were trying their best to drink water and take deep breaths to speed up their physical recovery.
Grams and Louis Huang took the time to give Scottie Pippen and Tyson Chandler a light massage. Throughout the first half, these two people were under the greatest pressure.
In the third quarter, the Knicks began to show a lack of ability to continue fighting. The biggest problem of only eight player rotation was completely exposed, while the Spurs used three players, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan, to completely
Tear open the Knicks' defense! The lead was extended to 75 to 81. Although the Knicks' players on the field were still defending desperately, at the end of the third quarter, the defense was completely lost.
Gregovich's judgment of the game is very good. At the power forward position, the Knicks have no one to trouble Tim Duncan without the agile Eddie Griffin. At the point guard, there is no one to worry about.
Williams' absence has allowed Tony Parker to treat Madison Garden Arena as his own car track. As for Manu Ginobili, he is very flexible in his application and always quickly seizes opportunities when the Knicks' opposing players help defend.
Offensive scoring.
On the other hand, in the Knicks, Tyson Chandler was tightly entangled by Lasune Nesterovich, who had a similar style of play to him and only did dirty work without scoring. That kind of stunning singles at the beginning could not happen every time.
As for the power forward position, Scottie Pippen scored 13 points and 4 rebounds in the first half. For a player who is ready to retire, you can't expect more. The small forward position is the only one the Knicks can still play from time to time.
In the scoring position, Marquis Daniels' breakthrough was very sharp. Manu Ginobili, who defended him, had little defensive effect due to the gap in physical fitness and lack of adaptability to the intensity of NBA league competition.
The biggest surprise comes from shooting guard Ansu Sasse, the nbdl MVP in the past two seasons, whose performance is eye-catching. Although the Spurs arranged for Bruce Bowen to specifically defend him, those defensive methods are too dirty for nbdl.
Ansu Sace's dirty let-off had little effect. On the contrary, in the middle of the third quarter, Ansu Sase kicked Bruce Bowen in the head while flying to save the ball. In the end, referee Jack Nice declared that this action was illegal.
It was not a foul, and it was a perfect revenge for the Knicks and Madison fans and even Marquis Daniels' balls. After Bruce Bowen came off the court, Ron Moser, who came on as a substitute, could not compete physically with him.
Anzu Sasse competes, which leads to Manu Ginobili and even Tony Parker helping him defend from time to time, so that Charlie Ward and Marquis Daniels can get open to attack.
It's ridiculous, but cruel. The Knicks' situation in this game was actually supported by an nbdl player. The reason is very simple, because he is young, he is strong, he works hard, and he is fierce.
At the end of the third quarter, all the fans shouted "mvp!" to Ansu Sace, who had scored 17 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds.
The captain of the nbdl Erie Warhawks proved in his first NBA debut that he has the ability to play in this league.
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks still did not give up. Scottie Pippen, who had rested for a quarter, appeared again, staring at Tim Duncan with his old bones, while Jose Calderon, Marquis Daniels, Luke Wolves
Dun, Ansu Sasse, four young players with excellent physical strength also all appeared.
The whole audience was in an uproar, because at this time, the tallest Knicks players on the court were actually Scottie Pippen and Luke Walton, even 10 centimeters different from Tim Duncan!
However, this lineup, which had no advantage at all, caught the Spurs off guard at the beginning!
Blake Dolan temporarily copied the tactics used by the Heat to defeat the Knicks in Madison last time, giving up height and using speed to disrupt the rhythm of the Spurs' positional battle!
At the same time, this lineup was also Blake Dolan's helpless announcement, and the Knicks gave up on defense.
But Gregovich obviously cannot focus on the Knicks' defense at this time. The Spurs' defense also has problems due to the Knicks' change of formation, that is, except for Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manuji
Nobili, the players in other positions are all experienced players. Another meaning of being experienced is that the players are older and are at a disadvantage in fast running. The Knicks are now relying on this little flaw of the Spurs!
Stick to the score!
When it reached the middle of the fourth quarter, **Vic took off the exhausted Lasso Nesterovich and replaced him with Robert Horry. At the same time, the Knicks also replaced Marquis Daniels.
Jose Calderon was taken off! Tyson Chandler, who got as much recovery time as possible, was also replaced by Scottie Pippen!
From the center-less tactic just now to the point guard-less tactic.
Although Blake Dolan did a stupid thing two days ago, he still captured the timing of the game accurately! After Tyson Chandler came on the court, he entangled Tim Duncan alone, putting pressure on him and easing the Spurs' interior offensive!
And Marquis Daniels is responsible for clinging to Tony Parker! The Knicks' control of the rhythm on the court is handed over to Luke Walton!
No one could believe it, but when the game entered the last minute, the score between the two teams actually became 101 to 99! The Knicks led by two points! The fans in the Madison stands booed hard because in the last 12 seconds
, it’s the Spurs’ ball rights!
For the last attack, Gregovich even applied for the only timeout and arranged the tactics. Everyone judged that the safe Duncan would complete the final attack! The judgment was correct, but Tyson Chandler
When blocking a shot! The thug committed a foul because of his nervousness!
Tim Duncan made two free throws!
Several players in the Knicks dugout have covered their heads with towels. So far this season, Tim Duncan's free throw rate is as high as 74%, which is definitely an excellent number among inside players!
The fans behind the Knicks basketball hoop held up a dazzling sign, hoping to bring visual interference to Tim Duncan, but Tim Duncan hit the first ball smoothly!
Off camera, two Knicks cheerleader girls walked behind the basketball hoop, just as Tim Duncan adjusted his posture and shot!
The two girls tore off their sexy bras hard! The upper body shouted: "God bless the Knicks!"
Even after the game, Tim Duncan did not admit that his last free throw was missed because of the interference of two girls, but looking at his dull face, the media could guess that in the locker room, Vicky scolded Tim.
Duncan's look.
The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs at home by 1 point!
During interviews, countless fans believed that the MVP of this game should be awarded to the two cheerleading girls, Eva Steele and Melissa Vashti.
When interviewed by the media after the game, the two girls were all smiles, not caring that the Spurs might complain to the league for interfering with the game:
"We are also part of the Knicks. The Knicks have never been just fifteen warriors."
