, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the strongest metaphysical coach!
The Knicks' first game in April was an away game against the Pacers.
The Pacers are also working hard for home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, and the Knicks are also their opponents of concern.
They feel that if they have a chance to enter the second round, they are likely to meet the Knicks.
The previous collision with the Knicks has proved that their chances of playing defense are too small.
So this time, they decided to play offense. This is an attempt. There will be no such good opportunity in the playoffs.
The Pacers didn't care much about the two inside lanes at the start. Collison and Granger shot from outside. Their decisiveness was completely different from the previous Pacers.
This is also a gambling on the feel, in a way they are not familiar with, if the feel can't keep up, it will be bad luck.
The Pacers still did a good job, especially Granger, who showed their core strength.
It's just that the first thing that is affected by their speed is the team's inside. David West is slightly better and Hibbert can't keep up.
There is no problem with the Knicks, and Whiteside is okay to slow down, anyway, he is not the main point of attack.
Under this rhythm, Curry, Clay and George are very adaptable.
The Knicks fully adapted to the changing rhythm of the opponent in a few rounds, and the two teams also turned into counterattacks.
When the Knicks took the initiative to change into a smaller lineup, the Pacers couldn't keep up.
They got off the inside and changed into a smaller lineup, but they didn't have the strength they had before.
The Pacers are not as good as the Knicks at the 4th and 5th positions, and their small lineup is definitely down.
The Knicks have done it this season. No matter what they play, they are both offensive and defensive. No one can take advantage of them. To defeat them, they must work hard. Whether it is a star or a burst of luck, they can only be positive.
The Pacers are seeking change first, and are now forced to follow the Knicks to play a smaller lineup.
Because their inside line can't increase the speed, they have little effect on the court.
The defensive inside line is helpless. They can't destroy the opponent's small lineup. If the offensive big center is an offensive center, they have a chance to destroy the small lineup.
Following the rhythm of the Knicks, the Pacers are definitely not opponents.
In the first half, except for a slight lead at the beginning, they have been behind the Knicks.
Ibaka's dunk at the end of the first half also helped the team extend its lead to double digits.
The attempt failed, and the Pacers had no choice. The second half decided to use their best defensive tactics.
They don't want to win this game. They are already testing the Knicks' weaknesses. No matter what, they have to prepare for the playoffs. If they don't win, they have to test a few more times.
In the third quarter, the Pacers strengthened their defense.
However, Paul George came to feel and completely suppressed Granger.
The Pacers can't say that their core players have been completely crushed by the second-year students.
The key is that they were optimistic about George at the beginning, but they were cut off by the Knicks.
The score gap between the two teams continues to widen, and the game seems to be less and less suspenseful.
Pacers coach Vogel is also very depressed. He thinks he has transformed the Pacers into a strong team, but he did not expect to be vulnerable to the Knicks.
He requested a timeout, and then switched to a smaller lineup again. He was about to lose anyway, and he had a final fight.
The Pacers' substitutes played well, and Vogel was hesitant to play the main force in the final quarter.
However, Granger took the initiative to fight, before he had much rest.
He was completely angry, and was suppressed by young people time and time again. He wanted to save face.
Granger is also a kind of flanking flanks to some extent. After playing again, he faces Butler.
Butler has not yet used the Peak Arrival Card. Although the defense is good, his height and wingspan are not as good as George's. Granger suddenly felt that his vision in front of him was much broader.
After two shots, Granger found the feeling, and he began to hit consecutively.
He no longer thinks about other things, that is, scoring, using his quick shooting ability to score.
Granger exploded, and his touch continued, even after Paul George came up again.
Qi Li's reaction was a little slower. When he was on the decisive lineup, the gap between the two sides had returned to single digits.
In fact, it is somewhat careless, thinking that the single-digit score difference is nothing, they can hang the Pacers.
However, there was another accident on the game field. The few precise shots made by the little man Dengtai Jones made the situation on the court dangerous.
As a strong team, the Knicks are not afraid of the opponent's core going crazy. They have many ways to deal with it, but the appearance of the X factor can easily change the outcome of the game.
Don't take it lightly at any time, Qi Li sighed.
Fortunately, he will not do this in the playoffs, and the Knicks in the playoffs will be stronger.
The opponent is a small lineup, Qi Li also uses a small lineup to deal with.
Ariza has been traded, Qi Li is now using Parsons or Green, Leonard and Butler still have to wait until the playoffs to fully shine.
The current lineup is enough to deal with the Pacers. This is not arrogance.
After they started to target Granger, this performance finally began to stagnate.
Granger is still only a weak All-Star after all, and there are obvious weaknesses when it breaks out.
At this time, Curry and Clay were restrained outside, and George and Parsons began to perform.
This is also the Pacers' defensive choice. They are very worried about the Knicks' three-pointers. A lot of defensive attention is focused on that side, so the Knicks' striker started to kill inside.
The rim protection problem of the small lineup is exposed. The Pacers are not the Knicks. They don't have a defensive player like Ibaka.
At the most, the Pacers have chased the score to the worst 2 points~EbookFREE.me~ But after the Knicks went all out, the score began to gradually widen, which is completely a gap in strength.
This time was the final moment of the game. After the Pacers had two three-point attempts without results, the Knicks' lead came to more than 5 points.
Then came the harvest of the game. The Pacers only hit a mid-range shot in the last two minutes and had a chance to stand on the free throw line. When the offensive and defensive ends are at the top level, there are many options for winning.
Qi Li also joked after the game, "We almost overturned, but fortunately we have a lot of good players."
Qi Li does not know whether this attempt will bring confidence or worry to the Pacers.
Two days later, the Knicks went to Orlando and once again slapped the eccentric magic.
The Magic have continued to lose during this period, and they are afraid they have no chance to gain home court advantage in the playoffs.
Many people have speculated that perhaps Howard has regretted not leaving soon.
