Sure enough, the Knicks began to play faster. After Davis received the baseline serve, he directly inserted into the backcourt of the Nets. His speed was faster than in the first half. Bledsoe followed very sadly. Although he is getting older, Davis's skills have not declined, and he keeps stopping and changing directions, and Bledsoe has to change his pace according to his rhythm.

Anthony cut into the low post on the left wing, George kept up with him, Davis made a few dribbles in front of the arc, and Bledsoe was not fooled. At this time, Chandler came to pick and roll, and Davis took advantage of the situation. Turning forward and slipping to the bottom corner of the left wing, Anthony also started to run back at the same moment. George didn't dare to relax, and followed Anthony up. Lopez had to withdraw to make up for McGrady's lost position.

I have to say that the Nets' defensive system is really good, and they are quick to defend on the strong side. However, a series of involvement made the dislocation of the two sides make Shumpert's offensive space for West larger.

Using the shaking of the body and head, combined with the dribble under the crotch, he made a fake dribble to one side, and then according to the opponent's defensive tendency, he reversed and broke through to the other side. Shumpert's movements were beautifully completed. But the feel of the shot has deviated. After a while, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and he fixed his eyes on the stick in place.

Although this goal was not scored, it has to be said that D'Antoni's tactics have basically been played out, and there is only a problem with Shumpert's end. Think about it, if the ball is responsible for the offense of the rumored JR Smith, this ball will be there.

The Knicks’ acceleration has put the Nets in a defensive predicament. For the Nets, Anthony’s restraint is huge. Knowing that he is a feint point to attract firepower, you have to arrange enough defense around him resources, otherwise, the Nets will face a painful price. Anderson's replacement of West can't alleviate this problem. Yi Jianlian, who left the team this season, can easily play a role in this rhythm of offense and defense, which is a pity. . . . . .

Fortunately, although Anderson's debut was unable to solve the team's defensive problems, his and Korver's efficient three-pointers really helped the team a lot. Both of these two players were the team's starters last season, and both returned to the bench this season. Fortunately, both of them showed a positive attitude towards this. Especially Anderson, in the position of sixth man this season, his performance is enough to rank in the top five.

With Jeremy Lin assisting Anderson to hit a three-pointer before the end of the third quarter, the Knicks speeded up the game in this quarter, only winning them a 6-point lead. It seems that it is not profitable!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, D'Antoni continued the lineup for the last three minutes of the third quarter, allowing Stoudemire to lead the bench players to play and give the main players more rest time. However, the Nets offered a four-on-one lineup, with Fernandez, Lopez, and West all on the court, paired with Jeremy Lin and Pavlovich. The offensive power of this lineup is worse than that of the starting lineup. On George's point.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Fernandez made a 3-pointer, and then Lopez made a 2-pointer. Looking back, the Knicks made a flank pick-and-roll. Mike Bibby missed a mid-range shot. Lopez, who has been blocking for his teammates This time, Bolkman was pushed out of the paint and flew to grab the rebound, and then directly handed over to Jeremy Lin to launch a fast break. In the frontcourt, Fernandez made another three-pointer, but the ball missed, and the Knicks fans relaxed. Take a breath!

The lack of back-up ability is Stoudemire's Achilles' heel. In terms of face-up offensive ability alone, Stoudemire can even compete for the first place in the position of power forward. , However, the lack of back-up ability means that as an insider, he cannot dominate the basket. On the offensive end, he is suitable as an end point. When facing double-teams, his distribution has no deterrent effect and cannot create space for his teammates. These factors make him not suitable for playing with bench players at all, and he cannot drive his teammates.

In two minutes, the Nets stopped the Knicks with an 8:0 climax, which also forced D'Antoni to give up his wrong thinking and readjust the lineup.

Since coaching the Nets, it is not the first time that Stevens has used the method of changing the way of routine substitutions. Most of the time, he can achieve good results. Either he can use a wave of flow to bring about a score reversal, or he can Force the other party to follow oneself and change the conventional adjustment thinking. The same is true in this game. D'Antoni let Anthony come back to dominate the team's offense and no longer let the Nets "arrogant".

However, in the third quarter, the Knicks speeded up their offense. Although Anthony was on the offensive end to attract more firepower, he wrestled with West for a long time on the defensive end, and his physical strength was a bit high. It was too much to let him play rashly. live an adventure.

Anthony's 60 million in 3 years, Stoudemire's 100 million in 5 years, plus Chandler's 68 million in 4 years, Nima's price is higher than the Big Three of the Heat! James, Wade, and Bosh also know that the salary will be cut to save Haslem, and the middle-class clause will be left to Miller. In the summer, they will split the mini-middle class and give Battier a three-year contract!

The score was steadily rising, but when the game came to the last three minutes, the Knicks players had physical problems first, making consecutive mistakes in the offense, and the Nets steal the ball and fast break to open the score, and there were only two minutes left , Most of the audience stood up, whistles, shouts, stomping, almost toppled the roof of the arena.

After a timeout, the Knicks’ tactic seemed to be to let Chandler cover and Anthony break through, intending to go straight to the layup or cause a foul and free throw. Unfortunately, Anthony, who was physically exhausted, failed to break through George’s defense and was blocked by George. Strictly speaking, he had no choice but to pass back Fields. Fields looked to the right near the free throw line to find someone, but there was no one, so he had to break through the center by himself. In the last five seconds, he leaned forward with his upper body and made a run and shot.

"Bang~!" With a muffled sound, Bledsoe jumped up from the side and slapped the shot away. This was a beautiful sideways block, but unfortunately the referee was puzzled and sentenced him to a foul.

Bledsoe appealed to the referee immediately, and George immediately pulled him back, "We still lead by 6 points, even if we make two free throws, we still lead by 4 points."

faint! How can anyone keep scoring points now!

Fields hit the first free throw steadily. At this time, Stevens made a substitution adjustment, and Jeremy Lin replaced Fernandez.

The Spaniard was a little puzzled, but he ended up honestly.

"We need Lin to keep the ball and keep the rhythm," Stevens explained to Fernandez in the split second of the high five.

In one and a half minutes, the 4-point lead (assuming Fields makes a free throw), as long as he doesn't make a mistake, it's very stable.
