I am so Accurate

Just like ESPN's pre-game survey, most fans support the Knicks because they think Camby can bully the Warriors' interior without Oden.

But until now, I haven't seen any bullying or anything like that, but with the Western Conference Finals ahead, the gap between Camby and Gasol was immediately obvious.

Moreover, the Knicks met the grandmaster of small ball. They couldn't defend themselves, couldn't defend and counterattack, and were completely beaten by the Warriors' "Death Five".

As the game continued, Spoelstra's lack of coaching ability also became apparent.

Faced with the unfavorable situation on the court, he seemed a bit at a loss.

Although the Knicks have been "carrot squatting" for a season, it is unlikely that they will suddenly come up with new tricks...

The playing style on the field was restrained and the head coach was at a disadvantage. Although the game lasted less than one quarter, the outcome was already foreseeable.

The Warriors relied on the five primary schools to establish an advantage in the first half, and then relied on the five primary schools to establish an advantage in the third quarter. Finally, they held a steady lead until the end of the game.

It is said that a player can win all over the world with one move. The Warriors are the team's "five little players" who can defeat the invincible team in the league with one move.

Except for the beginning of the game, the Knicks basically gave no hope to the New York fans who were watching the game thousands of miles away.

106 to 91, the Warriors easily defeated the Knicks and won their first victory in the Finals.

In terms of technical statistics, Sun Hao of the Warriors had 33 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Durant had 23 points, Ibaka had 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, Landry had 14 points, and Curry had 9 points and 6 assists.

For the Knicks, Anthony had 25 points and 6 rebounds, Wade had 21 points and 7 assists, James had 19 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, Harden had 13 points, and Camby had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Although the Big Three scored 65 points together, their overall shooting percentage was only over 40%, especially since James only took 14 shots in the game.

These abnormal statistics illustrate the Knicks' disadvantage in the game.

After the game, there was an uproar on social media.

No one expected Camby to be so useless. Although he still got good data in a limited time, it was hard to watch the game.

No one would have thought that the Knicks would be so powerless against the Warriors' "Death Five."

But in detail, this is actually not surprising.

Because the Warriors' tactical system was baptized in last season's finals, and then refined through a summer of training and an entire season.

In other words, it is already a mature tactical system that has been tested in practice.

Looking back at the Knicks, Spoelstra's current situation is very similar to that of Phil Jackson, who just became the head coach of the Bulls in 1989.

It's just that Spoelstra obviously doesn't have Phil Jackson's talent to apply the most suitable triangle tactics to the team in a short period of time.

Even if he had that kind of talent, he couldn't do that in his first season.

So, just get beaten and that's it.

In history, weren't the Heat's Big Three beaten severely by the Mavericks in their first year in the Finals?

Although this is related to the excellent strength of the Mavericks, the performance of the Big Three that year was obviously substandard, and they also lacked a system.

So after Camby failed to play his due role, the contrast in strength between the two sides was actually obvious.

If Spoelstra can't have a "magic touch" in the later games, it is not impossible for the Knicks to be swept in the end.

The attitude of the fans also took a 180° turn after G1.

Although he doesn't know much about football, he can still understand the game situation.

“What else could Spoelstra do?”

In TNT's latest program, Barkley, Smith, and O'Neal, the new commentator who stepped back to join TNT, tried their best to tease him, just like they teased Yao Ming in their history.

Although they are all celebrities, ethnic minorities are instinctively looked down upon in the United States.

Naturally, Spoelster, an Asian, cannot escape this fate.

"If I were him, I would pile the table with books and lean on the sofa to enjoy the finals. Time is running out."

Buckley's teasing is very interesting (Asians are labeled "nerds" in the United States).

This episode of TNT's program was very popular. The Knicks management questioned Barkley's remarks, but it did not receive a good response.

Because it's just like when Yao Ming was ridiculed by Barkley, but it wasn't until Yao Ming slapped him in the face that he rectified his name.

In the United States, if minorities want to win respect, they must fight for it on their own.

However, Barkley's role is still obvious.

Originally, after G1, the Warriors won too easily, and the interest in G2 was suddenly lowered a lot.

But Barkley brought back the topic and attention in this wave.

The fans are now fully expecting Spoelstra to slap him in the face in G2.

After all, Barkley has experienced things like being slapped in the face, and he likes to see them.

Then in G2, Spoelstra really showed people his adjustments.

"Carrot Squat" is still "Carrot Squat", but the details have changed, and this change is very useful.

Originally, in the "carrot squat", that is, when the superstar is playing in isolation, the center is pulled out to pick and roll, because it is easy to cause misalignment.

But that approach proved to be ineffective in the first game, especially when facing the Warriors' "Death Five". Ibaka's excellent defensive ability could easily block Camby's receiving attack.

So in G2, Spoelstra didn't know what method he used to make the Big Three willing to pick and roll for each other.

So most of the time, what fans see is Anthony and James pulling out to play pick-and-rolls for Wade, or James and Anthony picking-and-rolling each other.

The effect of this is obvious. The Warriors will encounter the problem of "choosing one cup with twice the poison" every time they face a pick-and-roll.

The pick-and-roll between superstars, just like Kobe and O'Neal, Sun Hao and O'Neal, Sun Hao and Durant, etc., is very lethal.

The Knicks now have three superstars. This "Carrot Squat Plus" version is equally simple and more effective.

With this move, the Knicks swept away the decline in G1, fought back and forth with the Warriors at halftime, and took a 58-51 halftime lead.

Then over at the commentary box, Barkley was scolded by O'Neal and wanted to get under the table.

Although these two people are both "Sun Chui", as long as they leave the topic related to Sun Hao, they are absolutely opposite existences.

Barkley's choice was to remain silent and kept gesticulating to let O'Neal continue to watch the game.

This scene also looked particularly funny in the live broadcast.

Then, the game came to the second half.

The Knicks took the lead at halftime. As long as their play style remains unchanged, the chance of gaining an advantage and winning the game in the second half is theoretically greater.

But in the second half, Nelson made an expected adjustment at the beginning of the second half.

He pushed Ibaka to the fifth position and started directly with the "Death Five"!

You can change it in any way, I will just do it.

Then, there is nothing you can do about this move.

It was in this section that fans truly discovered the horror of the "Five Little Deaths".

In the last game, Ibaka blocked Camby on the defensive end, and then successively defended James and Anthony. It can be said that he stole the show.

At that time, fans felt that the "Death Five" were very defensive.

But tonight, they truly saw the horrors of the Five Little Deaths.

The Knicks' superstar pick-and-roll is still very effective, but they are being pulled apart at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Because their scoring efficiency cannot keep up with the Warriors' scoring efficiency!

Now it's no wonder that Popovich wanted to curse her, because the Warriors' "Death Five" had too many three-pointers!

The principle of "three points is always one more than two points" has been taken to the extreme in this lineup and system.

And the reason why these five players are dead is that all five of them can shoot three-pointers, and the space on the court is infinitely large.

If you defend and shrink to shoot you, if you don't shrink, you will be attacked.

Some people might say direct man-to-man marking.

This is the biggest difference between this version of the Warriors' "Five Deaths" and the "Five Deaths" in history.

In other words, this is the greatest significance of Sun Hao's existence.

Because once you use simple man-to-man marking, Sun Hao can destroy your defense by himself.

Curry needs to use the Warriors' system to create scoring opportunities, but Sun Hao doesn't need to.

As the strongest defensive player on the outside, Tony Allen failed to guard Sun Hao in the Western Conference Finals, which speaks volumes.

Now Sun Hao is simply impossible to guard against with just one person.

116 to 106.

The Warriors' victory in G2 was obviously not as easy as G1.

Until the end, the Knicks still retained the hope of catching up with the score in theory.

But this is just the feeling given by the score.

When it came to the game, the Knicks were basically in a situation of "they couldn't catch up no matter how hard they chased" in the second half.

For the fans, it is good to always have hope, but for the players, the feeling is even more depressing than in G1.

Because you know you can't catch up, but you can't help but chase...

2 to 0.

This score was probably something no one would have thought of before the finals started.

But now the facts are right in front of us.

Although according to the current format of the Finals, the next three games will be played at the Knicks' home court, but now the game is no longer a matter of home and away, but the Knicks can't find a winning point. This is the most critical thing. place.

In other words, even if Spoelstra can find a tactical system suitable for the Big Three, it will be next season.

This season, their probability of reversing the Warriors has been infinitely close to zero.

What’s very interesting is that after the first two games of the Finals, many fans’ view is no longer about who can win between the Knicks and the Warriors, but whether the Knicks can win the next game and retain a little bit of the championship. possible.

Even more extreme fans are already discussing whether the Knicks can win a game in the Finals.

Three days later, the Warriors visited New York to face the Knicks in Game 3.

Madison Square Garden has never been more crazy.

It's been decades since the Knicks last reached the Finals.

Even in the Ewing era, Jordan and the Bulls could not get in because of the insurmountable barrier.

So New Yorkers are a little more crazy than you can imagine.

This game was also the Knicks' best performance since the Finals.

No matter how ferocious the Warriors' offense was, they always clung to the score.

The Big Three also knew that they had no way to retreat, and the situation of retreating 0-3 was already a desperate situation, so they all showed their best.

The biggest score between the two teams was only 5 points, and James Harden even gave the Big Three plenty of help on the bench.

Before the decisive moment in the fourth quarter, he helped the Knicks overtake and in turn led the Warriors by 5 points.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were unprecedentedly high, and the cheers were overwhelming.

All signs indicate that in Madison Square Garden, the holy land of basketball, the Knicks are about to usher in their first victory in the Finals tonight, and that may be the beginning, the beginning of their counterattack!

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Just like the super Knicks led by Ewing in the 1990s, they fell at Jordan's feet every time.

And now, they have encountered another mountain that they cannot overcome, Sun Hao!

In the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, Sun Hao began to stand up and take over the game in anxiety.

No matter how loud the New Yorkers cheered, Sun Hao's score poured cold water on him.

Then, every time Sun Hao scored was like cold water, no matter how passionate the fans were, they were doused time and time again.

It was not only the enthusiasm of the fans that was dampened, but also the confidence of the Knicks players.

You said that Sun Hao's iconic step-back three-pointer from the outside was the right thing to do.

Continuously retreating and hitting, that's also his ability.

Even if he rushes inside and pulls the lever to dodge and layup for a 2+1, that's normal.

But what I can't understand is that he dunked on someone else.

The most incomprehensible thing is that he dunks on every other player in a row!

In fact, only Sun Hao himself knows that he did not play in vain this past season. As his finishing efficiency improved due to weight gain, he also unlocked a lot of badges accordingly.

Such as dodge terminator, such as powerful terminator!

These, in turn, further enhance his finishing efficiency.

So what seems incomprehensible is just like the Warriors' "Five Deaths", they are all accumulated during the season.

On a stage like the finals, these all start to shine.

One minute before the end, the Knicks once again reduced the score to within 5 points.

Then Sun Hao made a three-pointer with a logo and the game ended immediately.

According to the description in the text explanation:

When Sun Hao hit the logo three-pointer against James, Madison Garden Square, which was still boiling one second and shouting "defense" crazily, turned into deathly silence the next second.

Perhaps only by actually being in such an environment can you feel how desperate it was at that moment.

Madison is destined to have no sleep tonight.
