Chapter 441: The Role of Tyson Chandler
The Knicks are a very strange team.
After trading for Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony last season, the Knicks were clamoring to blow up the league.
But in the playoffs, the Knicks were embarrassed.
The old Michael Celtic who had lost Ray Allen was pinned to the ground and beaten fatly.
Simply so!
After the game, the New York media made excuses for the Knicks, including that the Celtics were strong.
But in the second round of the playoffs, the Celtics were swept out by the Heat.
The Knicks were utterly tragic.
This season, the Knicks are still unrepentant.
In the first two games, the Knicks won by a big margin, and it seems that the Knicks have really become a strong team in the league.
Before the game, the New York media began to pull hatred:
"The Kings are one step closer this season, but after the failure of the Knicks last season, they are more tacit and stronger, and the Kings will definitely lose this game."
Qin Yang really wanted to ask:
"Who gave you the courage to dare to say that."
From the very beginning of the game, the Knicks' tactics were clear.
Superstar singles.
The Knicks are a strange team, they have changed four or five coaches in the past few years, and the current coach is D'Antoni as noted.
Once with the Suns, D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics caused a sensation in the league.
That year, he almost eliminated the Lakers in his peak and won the championship. It's just that no one knows the glory of the original glory.
D'Antoni's good tactic is shelling, but such tactics can't be played by the Knicks.
Now the Knicks are superstar singles.
Carmelo Anthony singles with the ball and Stoudemire singles with the ball.
Such a tactic is so simple and crude that it is simply speechless.
But simple tactics don't necessarily work.
The Kings have been strong in all positions this season and have few flaws, and in some cases they haven't been tough defensively up front.
Francisco Garcia, Grant Hill, Qin Yang, and Ray Allen are all players who are good at defensive offensive skills and have an advantage in height, while the Kings are helpless as for players like Carmelo Anthony and James.
It's not that there isn't, at least Rudy Gay fits well.
But Rudy Gay was suspended by the team, and the effort was far away.
As a result, at the Knicks' home court, Carmelo Anthony is playing like a fish in water.
Speed, power, attacking skills...... This man, who has the most fan support in New York, is going to explode in this game.
Garcia couldn't defend, Grant Hill was helpless, and Klay Thompson was beaten and didn't dare to shoot.
Qin Yang couldn't restrain it.
Carmelo Anthony is straight out of the way.
As a last resort, his teammates kept increasing the defensive scale, allowing Carmelo Anthony to go to the free throw line again and again.
At the end of the first quarter, the Kings trailed by three points.
Carmelo Anthony's 22 points in a single quarter is simply against the sky.
When it was time to rest, Coach Van Gundy also looked depressed, scratching his ears and cheeks and not knowing what tactics to arrange.
In fact, when encountering players like Carmelo Anthony who are almost flawless on the offensive end, when they are bursting with hands, it is difficult to rely purely on defense, and ordinary tactics are powerless.
"Boss, let's fight a fast attack!"
Qin Yang walked up to Van Gundy and said so.
Coach Van Gundy was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Coach Van Gundy and Qin Yang have worked together for a season, and the two sides have worked together very tacitly.
That's one of the main reasons why Coach Van Gundy is willing to come to the Kings.
When he first came, Qin Yang supported Van Gundy, and the Kings players were very obedient to give face to the coach, and no one dared to have an opinion.
Now Coach Van Gundy is also following Qin Yang's advice.
If it's another coach, you can't say how much.
After all, there aren't many coaches in the league like McBrawn who can allow players to arbitrarily deploy any tactics.
Coach Van Gundy is a straight boy, and if Qin Yang's suggestion is accepted, he will arrange it himself, and he will arrange it more carefully.
The Kings started playing fast break.
The Kings' tactics this season are actually very suitable for playing fast break, and many people think that the key to fast break is that the players are young and fast. This kind of thinking is a pseudo-fan.
The real fast break looks at two points: one is passing, and the other is shooting.
After the tactics are determined.
After David West grabbed the offensive rebound, he threw the ball out directly, and after Qin Yang received the ball in the midcourt, he dribbled the ball back, and then threw the ball directly to Cosby.
Cosby hit a three-pointer.
You have to be able to pass the ball and shoot the ball inside, that's the key.
David West's passing and shooting are among the best in the league, and he plays fast break, and the Kings players have been able to shoot the ball one of their biggest characteristics this season.
Since you can't defend against Carmelo Anthony, let's fight to attack.
Anyway, the Kings have an advantage in rebounding, and the offensive end is definitely not worthy.
Coach Van Gundy decided on the tactics and began to deploy troops.
Having said that there is nothing wrong with coach Van Gundy, when it came to the team's substitution, he was a little hesitant, as if he had chosen phobia again.
Like this time, I also want to contain the Knicks with defense.
This obviously doesn't show up.
Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony are in great form, and defending with all their might at this time is just making themselves uncomfortable.
Now that the tactics have changed, the team has made it simpler.
It's offense.
Every attack was not delayed for more than ten seconds.
It's also more decisive when stealing, even if you let the opposite side get a chance to attack, it doesn't matter, as long as you make a steal, you can score.
The pace of the game between the two teams has increased rapidly, and the statistics have also improved rapidly.
Basketball flew almost in the sky.
At this time, the comprehensive gap between the two teams was raised.
The Knicks are also very big, but as soon as the speed is fast, the Knicks are a little out of pace, and Tyson Chandler is excellent defensively.
But when it comes to the fast break, Tyson Chandler is not very useful, and many times he doesn't get to the inside position, and the offense is over.
In this way, it is bitter for Tyson Chandler.
Carmelo Anthony, Stoudemire and Landfield had a great time.
Especially Landfields, this product itself is a player who is fast and looks at the feel of shooting, and this game is a fast attack, and he plays very brightly.
But...... The Kings still had the lead.
In the first quarter, the Kings scored 41 points to turn the game around.
The next game. New York fans watched with relish, with both sides breaking fast, passing, and shooting one after another.
It looks really wonderful.
And then...... The Kings won.
The only one who can control the rhythm of the Knicks is McBiby, but McBiby is not very good at this, and the ball is still in the hands of the team's two bigwigs, McBiby is powerless.
The rhythm was all out of order, and it was brought up by the Kings.
Then there will be no suspense in the game.
Tyne Chandler's inside killer didn't work at all.
Prior to last season, Tyson Chandler had been underrated, especially when the Hornets partnered with Chris Paul, and Tyson Chandler was a dispensable interior blue-collar worker.
Later, it wasn't until Tyson Chandler was traded away that the Hornets' strength plummeted.
At this time, many people realized that Tyson Chandler was so important.
