"Perhaps the fans in front of the TV didn't pay much attention to Chen Feng's dribble just now, but we can see the shock of Chen Feng's dribble in the Madison Garden Arena.
In the next few offenses, the Knicks players seemed to be unable to find the rhythm of the offense.
, and under his organization, the Spurs regained their feeling and hit back the Knicks with a wave of scoring. We hope that after the timeout, the Spurs can still maintain such an excellent state." Xu Jiping is obviously thinking now.
Not present, Chen Feng's passing just now gave him an absolute shock.
**Vicci is naturally very satisfied with the performance just now, especially the performance of several role players. During this period, the performance has improved significantly. Diaw's two consecutive offensive rebounds allowed Derek Favors to enter the paint.
The pressure was greatly reduced. Ginobili and Leonard's three-pointers also made the Knicks' defense more chaotic, which also reduced Chen Feng's pressure on the outside a lot.
After the timeout, the Knicks' lineup changed again. Felton, Carmelo Anthony and others formed a new lineup, which showed that it was a better defensive lineup. The Knicks' offense just now did not appear.
What's the problem? It's just that the sudden outburst of other Spurs players suddenly caused the Knicks' defense to be in chaos. With Woodson's high regard for offense, he had to consider the possibility of defense.
For the Spurs, Tracy McGrady is also back on the field.
…………
At halftime, the Knicks led 59:52. Although the Spurs were still 7 points behind, it was far from the bad situation at the beginning of the second quarter. Especially when morale was already close to being depleted, here
In the first quarter, it was back to the Spurs, with Chen Feng and Derrick Favors acting as the mainstays, resisting the Knicks.
After the Knicks' attacks one after another, the Spurs players gradually found themselves, especially Ginobili. Although he only played eight minutes, he hit two three-pointers in a row, and his role is not what the data can tell.
As shown, his defense against Felton was very good. He also blocked Chen Feng several times, giving him good opportunities to take action.
During the halftime break, our reporter chose Chen Feng for the midfield interview. It was Chen Feng who revitalized the team's offense in the second quarter and brought the Spurs back to life, but it was obvious that victory was for the Spurs.
. is still far away. In the life-and-death battle in the second half, physical strength will become a fatal factor for the Spurs.
At half-time, the Knicks had nine players on the field. Even Carmelo Anthony, who played the longest time, also rested on the bench for more than five minutes.
During the interview, Chen Feng looked very tired. He was panting heavily and answered the reporter's questions: "Everyone has seen that tonight's game is one of the most difficult games we have played recently.
The Knicks are an excellent team. Their current offensive power is among the best in the league, and they also do a good job of switching positions.
Especially after Cameron broke out, they became even better. Now we are 7 points behind them. If we want to win this game, we can only work harder in the second half. We are a tough team, we
We have a strong fighting spirit. Our performance in the second quarter has fully demonstrated this. As long as we can maintain our current competitive state in the second half, victory will be very close to us."
"Hey, buddy, are you okay?" Looking at Chen Feng's shaky body, Mills quickly walked up and wanted to help him.
Chen Feng waved his hand, took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, just take a rest."
**Vicci arrived at the locker room earlier than Chen Feng, so when he saw Chen Feng like this, he was worried. Chen Feng had no chance to rest in the first half, and in order to chase points, he played very hard and exhausted too much energy.
.
Therefore, how to arrange rest for players, especially Chen Feng, is the most important issue for **Vic. In addition to Chen Feng, Derek Favors also needs a long period of rest.
When playing inside with the Knicks, Derrick Favors' physical strength was greatly affected. For the Spurs, the ones who need the most rest at the moment are Chen Feng and Favors, especially Chen Feng.
wind.
However, the game now cannot be separated from the two of them. Derrick Favors is the guarantee of rebounds. His containment role in the interior is currently irreplaceable by no one on the team.
In the second quarter, it was his outstanding performance in the interior that allowed the Knicks' offensive power to be basically concentrated on the outside, while Chen Feng was the guarantee of the team's offense. Without Chen Feng, the Spurs' offense would be worrying.
However, these two are the players that the team needs to rest the most. Once the game enters the final decisive moment, they are the players that the team needs most urgently.
And Leonard, if he rests, God knows how many points Anthony can score!
**Vicci doesn't have many options now, give up the game! Or give up and let Duncan and the others rest!
Seeing **Vic's troubled expression, Chen Feng naturally understood his difficulty, walked to him and said: "Boss, there is no need to hesitate, the game has already reached this point, we can only work hard, once the Knicks are defeated
With room for relaxation, we cannot compete with their excellent form in our current situation."
Derek Favors also said firmly that **Vicci was very excited when he saw their statement, but he still hesitated: "I'm afraid your physical strength won't last until the end of the game. As we play more and more smoothly,
Under the circumstances, the Knicks will definitely strengthen their defense against you, and the following games will only become more and more intense."
Chen Feng clenched his fists and said: "Boss, if we all run away from this situation, then we will never be truly strong."
After listening to Chen Feng's words, **Vicci already had a plan in mind.
…………
"Huh? He didn't play at the beginning of the third quarter. Chen Feng has been sitting on the sidelines to rest for six or seven minutes. Did the Spurs give up on this game? Teacher Xu, what do you think?" Sun Zhenping saw Chen Feng.
He didn't come on stage yet, so he said with some doubts.
Xu Jiping shook his head and explained: "Of course the Spurs will not give up. So far this season, the Spurs have never given up on a game! If the game reaches this point, if the head coach gives up easily, I am afraid that he will not give up after the game.
They will be criticized by the media. And now the point difference between the two teams is only 12 points. The Spurs still have a chance to come back and win. **The reason why Vic does not let Chen Feng play is entirely because Chen Feng's physical strength has almost expired.
Depleted."
"Furthermore, the five players on the Spurs field, except for Mills, are all very good at defense. If my guess is correct, the possible strategy adopted by **Vic now is to let the defensive players strengthen the team's defense and try their best to
Don't let the Knicks widen the point difference. Before Chen Feng comes on the court, try not to let the Knicks open up the score. However, in this way, the pressure on Derrick Favors will be even heavier. After all, the Spurs are now on the court.
He is the only one in the world who is a relatively stable scorer."
After all, Xu Jiping has been engaged in the basketball commentary industry for many years, so he could see **Vic's intentions almost at a glance.
"That makes sense. Now it depends on the Knicks' offense." Sun Zhenping said.
"But **Vic's intention is also flawed, that is, the team's offense is greatly affected. If they cannot limit the Knicks' powerful offensive firepower, and they cannot attack themselves, then they will lose this game.
It's over. We can say without hesitation that **Vicci is taking a huge gamble." Xu Jiping continued.
Xu Jiping can see these points, and Woodson can naturally see it too. For the current Spurs, **Vitch's tactics are undoubtedly very correct. Without Chen Feng, the Spurs' offense will suffer serious setbacks.
, instead of doing this, it is better to put the main energy into defense. For Leonard, Wesley Johnson and several players, what they need now is defense. They can fight their opponents to the end.
Woodson doesn't think the Spurs' tactics will have much effect on his team, because his team's offense is too strong now. The combination of healthy Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony is simply
It's a combination of points.
Of course, he also knew that this was the reason why the old man opposite asked Duncan to rest, otherwise, the current situation would probably be reversed!
But Woodson forgot one thing, and that was the team's morale. The Spurs' low morale in the first half allowed the Knicks to play smoothly, but when Chen Feng ran out of energy, Derek Favors supported the inside line alone.
At that time, the Spurs' morale was successfully stimulated. At this time, they had only one goal in mind on the court, which was to try to delay the Knicks' offense and wait for Chen Feng to play.
There are many things that the coach could not predict. The first person to feel the Spurs' high morale was naturally the Knicks players. Previously, the Spurs had always adopted a half-court zone defense.
After the start of the third quarter, he even spared no effort and adopted a full-court tight defense. The moment Felton received the ball, Mills kept interfering with his ball control.
With Felton's ability to control the ball, he naturally wouldn't worry about the ball being taken away so easily. However, Mills kept using his hands and feet, which was also troublesome. **Vitch decided when deciding on the defensive tactics.
Full-court tight defense, the Knicks' best offense,
One of the innate conditions for their fast break is that the ball does not delay, quickly passes the half, and then is handed over to the players who have the opportunity as soon as possible. Once the offensive time is longer, the Knicks' probability of offensive success will be
