The Nuggets changed their starting lineup in order to target the Knicks, but it also caused them to start badly.
Why do you want to change? Generally, the weak side has to change. The Nuggets let Anthony and Billups attack, but the effect is not so good.
The Knicks can't help defense, but the defense alone is not particularly bad.
And the inside combination of the opponent Nene and Martin, a little bit can't do David Lee and Randolph, there are some gaps in confrontation, rebounding and offensive end.
After taking advantage of the inside, the Knicks also played more smoothly outside.
Qi Li sits on the sidelines, and his mood is also a little flying. This is the Nuggets who can enter the Western Conference Finals. It looks not as good as them. However, the Knicks still do not have the first-class strength of Anthony, and may be affected in the playoffs.
According to the historical trajectory, the Knicks' next stop will be the Knicks.
But now that there is an unexpected factor of Qi Li, the historical trajectory will definitely change.
Whether it is Anthony or Stoudemire, Qi Li has no interest. He wants to cultivate a younger and more usable team building core.
The Knicks had an advantage in the start, but the Nuggets put JR on the bench still yielded results.
The young JR has a superb body and is good at both offensive and defensive situations with all his strength.
The Nuggets also played very hard. In addition to JR, their young forward Renaldo Balkman also played well, mainly active.
The main lineup is okay. The Knicks' defense is really not good after entering the rotation.
Qili estimated that when Jordan grows up, he can wipe his on the defensive end of the rotation.
On the Knicks side, Crawford and Eddie Curry also played well.
When both sides have the lead, they are completely on the offensive.
In the second half of the second quarter, Anthony took control of the game, and no one could limit consecutive points.
Qi Li is also frowning. Anthony is indeed very strong offensively, and he should consider flanking in the second half.
The inside line is a bit better. Randolph can hard top the inside line, but it is a bit difficult for the outside line to defend by a top scorer, and the inside line can't provide defense support. There is no way to do this.
At that time, let's see how long Jordan can use the Peak Arrival Card. Perhaps at the most critical time, the Knicks can become a team with both offense and defense.
The Nuggets actually belong to the kind of comparison team. The golden double gun combination failed and the team replaced Billups. The Nuggets' play style has actually changed.
Now their five strong points, the combination is still good, and Anthony can also stand up at the critical moment.
But Qi Li's request for players during the intermission is to focus on defense and restrict the performance of their key players.
It feels a bit messy, but it is not. Because the Knicks are also a team of this level, the Nuggets' team play will definitely not help them at the end. The first half is not Anthony's last minute lead will be the Knicks.
Either the Knicks are the last to lead, or they are the last to fight for stars.
If there is no accident, there will be no third situation.
Thinking of this, Qi Li also sighed. In fact, this season and next season are when the top Western teams are relatively few. This season is the Lakers strong. It is really hard to say that other teams will meet the Cavaliers, Celtics and Magic. .
But when the West was not so strong, the final championship was the Western Conference, and the Lakers also seized the opportunity.
Now that there are more Knicks, Qi Li hopes that there are some variables, and competitive sports is definitely going to win.
In the third quarter, the situation is a little different from what was expected.
The Knicks played a very team, not a team around a few strong points, but the entire team was involved.
This year the Nuggets really have something to do with it. They are calm on the offensive end.
The opponent is not in a hurry, and Qi Li is definitely not in a hurry. In this regard, the Knicks are confident.
It is just that the team is not threatening to the Knicks, either the top defensive, or someone breaks out, otherwise, the Knicks' attack can keep up with any team.
The two teams were so exhausted, waiting for the opportunity, the Knicks did not smash the main force, they must do it with real swords and guns at the end.
In the last quarter, the Knicks took the lead with Crawford's main attack.
JR played well in the first half, but at this time it was not Crawford's opponent.
Qi Li smiled, and he deserves to be a player who illuminates the super sixth man attribute. Although sometimes unstable, most of the time it is the opponent's headache.
The Knicks took the lead again, and the Nuggets also replaced Anthony after a timeout.
At this time, the Nuggets can no longer calm down, they dare not continue the previous team play, and they are attacking completely around Anthony. The distribution of the ball is completely different from before.
Anthony scored points when he came up, and Qi Li was unambiguous, and quickly adjusted his defensive tactics. As long as the opponent got the ball into the three-point line, he flanked.
For defense, the Knicks are now Richardson in the second position. He or David Lee will help defend. They would rather let others get a chance than make Anthony feel completely.
Anthony has the ability to pass the ball, Qi Li is choosing, the offense keeps up, and prevents the opponent from breaking out. The Knicks have a greater chance to win the game.
When it comes to the critical moment, not all players can take a shot with a normal heart.
Because the attention of both sides became more concentrated, the pace of the game also slowed down a bit.
Anthony does pass the ball, but the timing is not so good. This is a matter of playing style.
made the right choice, Qi Li secretly squeezed his fist, although it was an open hang, but he also needed to make a correct judgment.
In order to make room for Anthony, Kenyon Martin stood outside.
The Nuggets also tried three-pointers several times. They had a chance, but only Billups hit one.
The three-point tactics at this time are not as decisive as later, and the Knicks have been slightly ahead.
The further the time goes, the more confident Qi Li is.
At 1:23, the Knicks led by one point and Chandler got a free throw.
After thinking about it, I designed a scene where the team missed a free throw for the second time, grabbed a rebound and hit a three-pointer.
This can score 4 points in a row, and of course there are some problems with the success rate. After all, it can be said that the rebound is more than half of the lucky hit, but Qili still designed it.
Lucky strike and bad luck strike are also constantly trying. Trying out a few more ways will make the skill use more flexible. At the critical moment, it may come back, although it may not be used, but you must be prepared. .
He made the first free throw, and the basketball bounced out on the second free throw. It was a little bit farther and it was almost in front of Chandler. Chandler reacted very quickly. He immediately swung the basketball outside, Crawford was outside. After receiving the ball in the face, a backhand, and then three-pointer.
The basketball fell through a beautiful arc in the air. The Knicks' 1 point lead became 5 points, and the game was stable.
