Chapter 886 No team can stop it
The Spurs attacked and Duncan caught the ball near the paint area.
Parker bypassed Duncan and ran to the other baseline.
This move is to help Duncan open up offensive space.
The next second, Duncan turned around and shot with a hook.
"boom!"
"Shh!"
The basketball hit the board, and Duncan returned to the defensive half with an expressionless face.
13:6.
If Chen Yan is the court artist, then Duncan is the court gardener. He has repeated the same actions for more than ten years. Although there is no innovation, he is steady and reassures everyone.
Knicks offense.
Curry shot a three-pointer from far away after halftime.
Chen Yan scored two unreasonable goals in a row, and Curry watched with excitement.
The ball bounced around the basket and fell out.
Not so lucky.
"Good job! Just fight like this!"
The camera showed a close-up, and D'Antoni clapped his hands to encourage Curry.
The fans were happy when they saw this scene. If Curry's shooting style was replaced by another team's head coach, he would probably be replaced in the next round. Only under D'Antoni can he play like this.
The Spurs continued to fall into position. After the pick-and-roll, Duncan caught the ball and hit the ball.
13:8.
No matter how the Knicks' offense goes, the Spurs will play at their own pace and will never mess up their position.
The Knicks attacked, and Curry took advantage of the screen to move to the top of the arc. As soon as he collected the ball and was about to take a shot, Duncan's defense came up.
Kurima uploaded Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took two steps outside the three-point line to catch the ball and throw it away.
"Shh!"
Merciless hit.
16:8.
The Spurs were speechless. The Knicks played very much like amateur basketball, with the two outside cores throwing the ball away.
Even though he was messing around, he couldn't stop himself!
"Prevent it from getting out! Prevent it from getting out!" Popovich roared from the sidelines.
He felt that since the beginning, the Spurs had given the Knicks too much room for shooting in the backcourt.
Parker dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and suddenly started to move before his teammates could get into position!
This caught the Knicks off guard. Curry was passed by one step, and Jordan committed a defensive foul.
Parker was very smart. When he saw Jordan coming towards him, he immediately threw himself into the air and forced a defensive foul on Jordan.
Standing on the free throw line, Parker made two free throws without any problems.
16:10.
The Knicks attacked, Chen Yan handed over the ball and took a step outside the three-point line to shoot.
"Bang!"
Missed!
Chen Yan still shot the ball casually. After the ball was thrown, Chen Yan felt that the Spurs' defense had obviously expanded.
Parker moved to the frontcourt and broke into the inside again.
The Knicks' formation retreated, and Parker wanted to throw it to Leonard on the outside.
Chen Yan had quick eyes and quick hands and intercepted the ball with one hand.
Upon seeing this, Curry immediately went on a fast break, and the Knicks went 2-on-1 in the frontcourt.
Leonard was very nervous. While following Chen Yan, he also had to be careful about his passing.
Chen Yan made a movement on his back and looked back at Curry while doing the action.
Leonard was fooled and shifted his center of gravity to the right.
Chen Yan raised the ball with one hand and hit a freehand layup.
18:10.
"Showtime!"
"Excellent show!"
"So elegant! So freehand!"
"Leonard was deceived so much that he didn't even have his underwear left."
"So handsome! Damn!"
"Even Curry was fooled and was ready to rush over and dunk."
"Dunk? He can't!"
This goal triggered heated discussions among domestic fans.
Van Gundy sighed again: "He turned basketball into an art."
Jon Barry put it bluntly: "His performance on the court is a level above other people."
The two were just short of shouting the God of Basketball.
The Spurs continue to play steadily.
The secret to keeping them in shape is a good mentality.
After a pick-and-roll, Parker mismatched DeAndre Jordan and decisively lobbed the ball to Duncan inside.
This was an obvious mismatch, and Curry had no choice but to use foul tactics to catch Duncan.
Duncan staggered two steps and did not fall down. Instead, Curry fell down on his own. There was a huge difference in height and shape between the two.
Duncan walked to the free throw line expressionlessly. He never gets angry because of his opponent's foul.
After two free throws, the score reached 18-11.
In the Knicks' offensive round, Curry used the screen to go around the free throw line and hit a mid-range jumper.
20:11.
The Knicks' tactics are still simple. Chen Yan finished Curry's swing, and both of them had excellent touch tonight.
Van Gundy lamented: "Chen and Stephen's status came very quickly."
Joan Barry said with a bad smile: "This kind of situation is usually prone to tragedy."
Knicks offense.
Chen Yan doesn't have much pressure on the defensive end, he just follows Leonard.
Leonard is the Spurs' third hot spot, behind Parker and Duncan.
After Leonard got the ball, Chen Yan stuck in front of him, which made him uncomfortable.
Leonard is not a fast player, so Chen Yan is not worried about being passed by him in one step.
Leonard grabbed the ball with one hand and moved laterally.
Chen Yan didn't steal the ball and just followed, leaving Leonard with nothing to do.
If Leonard changes direction in front of his body, it is easy for Chen Yan to steal the ball.
Chen Yan forced him to go to the right.
After Leonard took two steps, he also noticed Chen Yan's intention. He chose to turn his back and change the ball holder to his left hand.
Chen Yan immediately followed, and with his peripheral vision he caught Duncan who was being lifted up, and quickly bypassed the cover.
Leonard had no choice but to pass the ball to Stephen Jackson on the wing.
With Leonard's current skill, it is still too difficult to beat Chen Yan alone.
Stephen Jackson observed and then lobbed to Duncan who was cutting inside.
Duncan used his experience to cause another foul.
Going to the free throw line, he still made one of two free throws.
20:12.
In the first quarter, the Knicks relied on the powerful firepower of their two guns to suppress the Spurs.
29 to 20, the Knicks led by 9 points in the first quarter.
陈炎单节砍下14分3助攻2篮板，库里11分3助攻，两人几乎包办了全队的所有得分。
Van Gundy said: "No team can stop the Knicks' style of play because they don't play according to the routine at all. The two outside shooters take turns throwing. Even the teammates don't know when they will take action, let alone the opponent."
Joan Barry smiled: "Many teams are trying to copy the Knicks' success, introducing shooters and encouraging players to shoot three-pointers from beyond the three-point line or even from far away."
Van Gundy nodded: "This is an effect. The effect brought by Chen Yan is that shooters are now more popular than big men in both the transfer market and the free market. This was unimaginable five years ago."
In the second quarter, Chen Yan and Curry took a break.
Barea, Ray Allen, and Al Harrington fired from the outside one after another.
The Knicks have the upper hand in the bench battle.
Ginobili's condition has further declined due to injuries. So far this season, he has averaged just over 10 points per game.
In the middle of the second quarter, the main players from both sides returned to the field one after another.
Chen Yan and Curry continued to use outside shots to kill the Spurs.
After halftime, the Spurs were already trailing by 19 points.
Generally speaking, the Spurs rarely experience such a defeat, especially at home, but the Knicks' outside touch tonight is so hot, whether they are the main force or the substitutes.
After falling behind by a big score, the Spurs were not discouraged. They came back in the second half and still followed the team's tactics.
Parker, Duncan, and Ginobili worked together to lead the team to an 8-1 spurt in the second half.
The score difference was still 12 points, so D'Antoni called a timeout to be conservative.
After the timeout, the Knicks gave the ball to Chen Yan for a single.
The tactic was seen through by Popovich, and the Spurs directly adopted a double-teaming strategy against Chen Yan.
Chen Yan continuously passed the ball to Curry and Battier. They missed the shot and the Spurs took the opportunity to chase the score to within 10 points.
D'Antoni saw that the situation was not right and called a timeout again.
D'Antoni changed into a shooter lineup, and as soon as the Spurs double-teamed Chen Yan, there was an opportunity from the outside.
After three minutes of play, the Knicks once again widened the point difference to 13 points.
Entering the fourth quarter, Chen Yan continued to be on the court.
When playing against a team like the Spurs, you can't slack off for a minute.
The Spurs have Ginobili and Duncan resting, and Popovich cannot let the veterans fight for too long for a regular season game.
Chen Yan didn't get angry with the Spurs and hit two three-pointers, widening the point difference to nearly 20 points again.
Parker became anxious and forced his way into the paint in the next round, but was brutally beaten by Chen Yan.
The Spurs struggled for a few more minutes after Duncan and Ginobili re-entered the game.
With 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Popovich gave up on his fantasy and came on the bench.
According to the rules of the arena, the Knicks immediately withdrew their main force.
In the end, the Knicks won the game without any blood, 111-98.
After easily defeating the Spurs, the outside world started to criticize the Knicks again. They felt that no team could stop the Knicks this season.
