"Raise the offensive rhythm! If they want to be faster, we have to be faster than them, understand?!" Old Nelson roared.
Tonight the Spurs' opening style was like the Knicks, but the Knicks played like the Spurs, procrastinating, which made Nelson very unhappy.
"The defensive strategy remains unchanged, continue to shrink the defensive line and keep an eye on Duncan!"
Although the Spurs made two three-pointers, this did not make Nelson change his tactics.
He knows very well that the Spurs' biggest advantage is Duncan's inside singles.
After the timeout, Curry dribbled the ball across half court.When he reached the top of the arc and took a step outside, Curry immediately stopped the ball and looked for wing Chen Yan.
Then Curry started running.
Curry can attack with the ball, but he mostly plays this shooter role in the Knicks.
After Chen Yan got the ball, he looked at Curry's movement and then looked inside.
There was no good opportunity to play the ball, so he chose to take a horizontal move.David West came up to cover. Chen Yan took a small step back and then accelerated sharply, passing through the gap between David West and Bonner!
Chen Yan suddenly reached the free throw line and immediately passed the ball to Battier.Battier had a shot, but he chose to pass the ball to Curry, who was in a better position.
Curry didn't shoot either. He saw Chen Yan passing the ball and ran to the bottom corner without the ball.After Curry feinted, he made a move and then passed to Chen Yan!
"The Knicks played very carefully this round!"
"See if Chen Yan has this ball!"
The two commentators raised their voices and showed Chen Yan turning around and taking action immediately after receiving the ball.
The space is open, but this shot is not easy.
Chen Yan had almost no aim at the frame, and he was still a turnaround jumper.
"Shh!"
This goal is very unreasonable!
"Arrogance!"
"Go crazy today!"
"Another goal! Three out of three! The game only started for 2 minutes!"
Knicks fans exclaimed.
9:8.
Popovich frowned. He didn't know what to say. If Chen Yan continued to fight like this, no tactic in the world could restrain him unless he was tied up with a rope.
Spurs attack.
Parker lobs to Duncan.
Popovich guessed right, the Spurs still want to beat Duncan.
The Knicks' formation was so tight that Duncan didn't even have room to turn around.
Duncan could only be forced to branch out.
Parker hesitated after catching the ball. Although he had a three-point opportunity, he still chose to go inside.
Parker made a quick stop near the free throw line.
The Knicks' penalty area is overcrowded, and they will definitely suffer from a strong attack.
Curry stayed close to Parker's right side during this round. When Parker took off, he also took off.
Parker lags in the air, twists his body, and passes the ball to the outside.
This kind of pass is easy to make mistakes, and Parker has no choice but to do so. Curry is on his right side, and the shot is easily interfered with.
Ginobili received the ball from the outside, but Parker twisted his body to pass the ball, so Ginobili received it uncomfortablely.
After getting the ball, Battier got in front of him.
Ginobili headbutted Nattier and then broke through along the baseline.
The bottom line is that Battier deliberately gave it to Ginobili. The space here is very narrow and not suitable for action, and the Knicks can help defend and trap Ginobili at any time.
Ginobili had a clear head and passed the ball before getting trapped.
The Spurs didn't have a good chance after several passes.
In the end, it was Duncan who handled the ball.
This plays into the Knicks' hands.
In the pinch between Jordan and Chen Yan, Duncan missed a small throw.
After Chen Yan grabbed the rebound, he immediately accelerated and pushed forward.
Chen Yan strode forward, and the Spurs' defense was naturally attracted to him.
They didn't want to see Chen Yan score anymore.
Chen Yan scored the ball high, took a step with his left foot and immediately distributed the ball!
Curry caught the ball and pushed.
"Shh!"
The basketball hits the net crisply.
12:8.
"Another one! The Knicks' first four goals tonight were all three-pointers!" Yang Yi laughed.
"This is their basketball philosophy. If you can shoot a three-pointer, you will never make a two-pointer."
Yu Jia said.
Curry danced back to the defensive half after hitting a three-pointer.
There is no doubt that the most hated Spurs fan among the Knicks is Chen Yan, and the second most hated is Curry.
Spurs fans think this guy is too flamboyant.
Curry's dance is just a celebration, purely for fun, but rival fans don't think so. Many fans regard Curry's move as a provocation, and some even think Curry is insulting them.
Parker quickly dribbled the ball across half court.
The Spurs are still very fast-paced.
Duncan took the ball at the top of the key and passed it to Leonard on the wing.
Leonard grabbed the ball with one hand, observed it for a while and then passed the ball to Parker.
Parker slings it inside to Duncan.
After passing the ball, Parker immediately cut inside without the ball.
He knew that the Knicks were strictly defensive against Duncan tonight, so he planned to use such interspersed runs to mess up the Knicks' defense.
Duncan saw Parker's movement and gave the ball inside.
Duncan saw the opportunity for Parker's air cut, but Curry also saw it right.
Curry has quick eyes and quick hands and cuts the ball off!
Just when Curry was about to push back, Duncan subconsciously pulled him.
The referee blew the whistle and called Duncan a foul.
"Nice job!"
Chen Yan walked up to Curry and touched his head. In Chen Yan's opinion, it was more cost-effective to cause Duncan to foul than to score two points on a fast break.
Duncan is not only the Spurs' inside pillar but also their spiritual pillar. If he falls into a foul trap, the Knicks' chances of winning this game will be much greater.
The Knicks resumed serving and then entered a positional battle to attack.
Both Knicks insiders mentioned high screens at the same time.
Curry passed the ball to Chen Yan and then used Jordan's screen to move to the other side of the three-point line without the ball.
After Chen Yan got the ball, he used David West's pick-and-roll to go to the bottom corner.
The Spurs were afraid that the pursuit would be slow and leave room for Chen Yan to shoot, so they simply chased one by one, and the two of them flanked Chen Yan.
The Spurs were double-teamed, and there was very little space on the baseline. With three tall NBA players standing together, the space was even smaller. They felt that even if Chen Yan was a magician, it would be difficult to handle the ball.
Chen Yan had already observed Curry's position while moving. He suddenly bounced up while moving at high speed, swung the ball with both hands, and accurately found Curry in a wide range.
There is absolutely nothing to say about Chen Yan's vision and passing skills. If this kind of large-scale transfer at high speed were replaced by a rough guy like Jordan, he would probably be thrown directly into the stands on the second floor.
Chen Yan also passed the ball at the perfect time. Curry had just used the screen to run out of the open space without the ball, and the ball was in his hands.
This is the shooter's favorite rhythm.
"Shh!"
Raise your hand and hit!
After the shot, Curry stretched out his hand to salute Chen Yan.
15 is better than 8!
Popovich called a timeout.
"Five three-pointers! The Knicks started with a three-point rain at the Spurs' home court," Yang Yi said.
"And all the shots were made by Chen Yan and Curry. These two core players are feeling good, and the Spurs must pay attention to them." Yu Jia said.
After the timeout, the Spurs changed their main attacker.
Ginobili held the ball from the outside, asked for a screen to avoid Battier, and then rushed inside.
Faced with Jordan's switching defense, Ginobili pushed the rhythm to the extreme.
The European step that was fast and slow swayed away from Jordan, and then it was like a spiritual snake worming its way into the basket.
A strange-looking pull-up layup scored the ball.
15:10.
The Knicks attacked, and Curry just received the ball and found that the defensive player turned into Leonard.
Ginobili stood in front of Chen Yan.
In this regard, two Chinese commentators gave explanations.
Yu Jia said: "Popovich switched to Leonard to guard Curry, because no one can guard Chen Yan, but Curry is different. He is not unsolvable. If Leonard limits If you don't keep him, the Knicks will lose a powerful firepower point."
Yang Yi smiled: "Popovich still has the courage to neither double-team nor use the best defensive player in the team to guard Chen Yan. I am very curious about how many points Chen Yan will score tonight with such a defensive strategy."
Tonight the Spurs' opening style was like the Knicks, but the Knicks played like the Spurs, procrastinating, which made Nelson very unhappy.
