In this campaign, five New York Knicks players scored in double figures.
Chen Yan had 43 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds, one rebound short of double figures, but Chen Yan didn't care.
He has reached a point where he doesn't play for statistics.
库里23分5助攻，大卫-韦斯特14分8篮板、艾尔-哈灵顿12分3篮板、巴里亚10分。
The best statistic for the San Antonio Spurs is Parker. Although he only played half a game, he still had 22 points and 7 assists.
邓肯20分13篮板3盖帽，吉诺比利11分，迪奥10分5助攻5篮板。
Only four of the San Antonio Spurs scored in double figures.
As soon as the game ended, many fans had already made up their minds about the series.
"It's too easy, the Spurs are no match at all."
"Boxing is afraid of young people, and the same is true for basketball games. The Spurs are already old."
"The Spurs are a product of the old era, and there is no ship that can carry them in the new era."
"The Knicks won a big victory before Chen Yan broke out. How can Chen Yan still win after breaking out?"
"The Spurs have only one way to win: quickly bring Bowen back and injure Chen Yan!"
"Hahaha! Bowen will only get beaten if he goes up there!"
"Leonard is still too young and cannot restrain Chen Yan at all!"
"Why would the Spurs let a rookie guard Chen Yan? Is Popovich too confused?"
"You can tell at a glance that you don't understand the Spurs. Leonard has a strong one-on-one defense. The reason why he looks weak is because his opponent is Chen Yan."
"Hahaha, Chen Yan makes every defensive player look like a rookie."
"The Spurs' defense was very clean tonight. It's not like they are so clean, haha."
An important reason why the San Antonio Spurs defended cleanly tonight was Chen Yan's pre-game interview. Chen Yan severely criticized the Spurs for being too dirty and ruining too many people.
Chen Yan's words triggered heated discussions, and the Spurs naturally did not dare to commit crimes against the trend.
Popovich said in the post-game interview: "Chen was playing psychological warfare with us. His slander before the game caused our defensive intensity to drop in this game. Chen Yan's strategy was successful. The Spurs tonight are not the real Spurs. We played too softly!”
The reporter passed the words to Chen Yan's ears, and Chen Yan smiled and said: "Whether it is slander or not, everyone knows in their hearts that the Spurs tonight are indeed not the real Spurs. The real Spurs are dirty to the core. The Spurs' performance tonight It’s so normal!”
Chen Yan continued to use words to attack the Spurs. Basketball games are not just on the court, pressure off the court is equally important.
The reporter asked: "Tonight you only scored 43 points despite a hot start. Are you deliberately conserving your energy?"
"Only 43 points? I think your demands on me are too high. Check the information. I can count the 40+ points in the finals with both hands." Chen Yan smiled and continued: "I I’m afraid that new fans will be misled and think that winning 40+ points in the finals is an easy thing.”
The second leg of the two sides starts two days later.
Popovich made adjustments on the defensive end.
He knew that he could no longer let Chen Yan go on like this, and asked the players to double-team him at the beginning of the game.
In the first round, after Chen Yan picked and rolled, Diaw and Leonard sandwiched him in the middle.
Zhang Lili exclaimed: "It's a double-team. The Spurs played very resolutely in this game!"
Director Xu said: "From the Spurs' point of view, this strategy is correct. It will be too late to let Chen Yan really shoot away and then double-team."
The Spurs made adjustments to their tactics, and the Knicks made adjustments to their personnel.
Nelson replaced Battier in the starting lineup with Beverley.
One is to want Beverley to target Parker, but to want Battier to limit Ginobili when he comes off the bench.
Kill two birds with one stone.
This starting lineup is the ultimate small lineup, with Beverley and Curry forming a double point guard, and Chen Yan taking the small forward position.
In the first quarter, the small lineup showed its own characteristics.
The New York Knicks scored 33 points in a single quarter.
However, their shortcomings are equally obvious, they are obviously lacking in height.
Stephen Jackson and Leonard desperately switched defenses to hit Curry's point.
Leonard, who only scored 3 points in the last game, scored 7 points in the first quarter and became the main force of the Spurs.
Beverly did a good job of restricting Parker. After the first quarter, he beat Parker 6-for-2 and only scored 6 points including free throws.
However, Beverley also paid the price for his aggressive defensive style. He received three fouls in a single quarter.
In the first quarter, the score was 27-33.
The Knicks scored high points due to running and gunning, and the Spurs also responded in a positional battle.
In this section, the two sides played against each other as substitutes.
Chen Yan comforted Curry on the bench.
Curry looked a little lost. He was targeted tonight, and the Spurs' front line desperately switched defenses to find him.
"Stephen, keep your confidence and play to your strengths. What you have to do is to destroy them on the offensive end, not restrict them on the defensive end. Don't worry about their offensive strategy. If they score two points on you, you can turn around and Give them a three-pointer and defeat them with offense."
Curry nodded: "I won't let them defeat me."
In the second quarter of the game, Ginobili swept away the haze of the previous game and scored consecutive points from the beginning.
Although Ginobili is a substitute, his scoring explosiveness far exceeds that of ordinary stars. When he is in good condition, it is difficult for defensive experts to restrict him.
Battier was crazy. He came on the bench in this game just to restrict Ginobili, but he got high.
Ginobili led the San Antonio Spurs second unit to suppress the New York Knicks.
At the end of the half, the two sides were inextricably tied and the game was tied at 58.
Before the game started, Popovich conducted a team mobilization.
He had only one request, and that was to hit him harder.
The Spurs were indeed stronger on the defensive end tonight than in the previous game.
Even the fouls were much more violent. When he returned to the locker room after halftime, Chen Yan's arms were covered with blood marks.
Of course, none of these fans could see that the cameras of this period were not yet high-definition to this extent.
"Boss, it looks like you have to wear arm guards to play in the second half." Jordan joked.
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "It's a joke, if you continue to fight like this, I can't get used to wearing arm guards. I always feel like something is restricting my arms."
Chen Yan usually doesn't like to wear protective gear. At most, he wears an elbow pad. This is because this elbow pad is awarded by the system mall and adds a little stability to his shooting.
At the end of the half, the Spurs showed their tenacity, and the fans who shouted to sweep the Spurs also turned off their microphones.
The San Antonio Spurs are always a tough nut to crack.
The second half started quickly.
Both sides are the strongest lineup to play.
New York Knicks: Curry, Chen Yan, Battier, David West, DeAndre Jordan
San Antonio Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Diaw, Duncan.
"I'm guarding that guy Ginobili, let's change positions." Chen Yan patted Battier on the shoulder before going on the court.
Shane nodded and obeyed the arrangement.
Today, he did not restrict Ginobili well enough. Changing personal defense may have unexpected effects.
Chen Yan had 43 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds, one rebound short of double figures, but Chen Yan didn't care.
He has reached a point where he doesn't play for statistics.
库里23分5助攻，大卫-韦斯特14分8篮板、艾尔-哈灵顿12分3篮板、巴里亚10分。
