In the second quarter, the Knicks sent five bench players, Childes, Starks, Mills, Oakley, Ben Wallace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Cowens saw it, he began to curse his mother.

Is this a substitute? It's too much of a bully!

Mills was the Cavaliers' starting small forward poached in the summer, Starks was the sixth man of the year last season, and there were two Knicks starters last season, and the only one who was not famous was Ben Wallace.

The current Big Ben is not an explosive head, at first glance it is a two-meter center, Cowens thought a little, and concluded that Big Ben is the biggest weakness of the Knicks, and regarded him as an offensive breakthrough.

No matter how you look at it, it's easier than attacking the other four, right? Those four are all mixed up defensively, and Starks and Oakley have all been selected to the All-Defensive Team.

The Hornets came off the bench to lack attackers, hoisting the ball to Matt Geiger, who is 213cm tall and weighs 110kg.

This is the macho man who made O'Neal smell of it, and in the 1995 preseason, he made O'Neal miss 20 games with a broken thumb, which indirectly led to the Magic infighting and the Sharks left Los Angeles.

Of course, although the bald big man has a glorious injury record, his offensive ability is actually not very good, averaging 11.2 points per game at his peak.

Geiger soon found himself meeting his nemesis, Big Ben's two invincible mandarin duck legs were like nails to the floor, and they couldn't retreat no matter how they squeezed.

Unable to enter the penalty area, Geiger could only turn around and rely on his height advantage to force a shot at a distance, shooting 0 of 3.

On the other hand, the small-ball tactics on the Knicks' side, except for Big Ben, can be pulled out to shoot, although the player's personal ability is average, but it is also easier to play.

Five minutes later, the margin widened to 31 points, and Cowens was forced to call a timeout.

The pause only proves that he is not watching the excitement, he has tried to think about how to adjust the tactics, in fact, everyone has seen that the two teams are not of the same level.

Funnily enough, there was a small tidbit on the sidelines, and the camera caught Yang Rui and Van Gundy arguing.

A lot of Hornets fans in front of the TV are crazy, the Knicks are so leading, you two are arguing? Do you still want to set a record for the largest point difference?

The reason is still Van Gundy's habit of using the main force to the death, leading by more than 30 points, and he also wants Ewing and others to play.

Yang Rui couldn't understand this practice of killing chickens with knives at all, and directly put forward his opinions. "With so many points ahead, what are you going to do with the veterans coming back? Irritating opponents? In case the opponent loses a malicious foul, we hurt a main force in garbage time, do you think it's worth it? ”

"How can they be so fragile as you say? If they don't play, their stats are too bad. Van Gundy frowned.

"Then you mean to play just to farm data? With so many newcomers on the team, this is the best opportunity to work out, isn't it good for veterans to save their physical strength for the playoffs? That's when the stars are desperate. What's the big deal about scoring 50 points against such a weak team? ”

"How can a star just play a quarter?" Van Gundy raised his voice.

Talking to someone who drills the horns of a cow is sometimes playing the harp to a cow.

Yang Rui is clearly aware that there is a generation gap between himself and this era.

No team rotates the squad now, and the stars are proud of their playing time. Playing more than 40 minutes per game is an iron man; Playing for about 35 minutes is the core standard; If you only play for 20 minutes, you're definitely a role player. As for the long time of playing, whether the efficiency will be reduced, there are really not many people who care.

Starks fell out with Van Gundy for playing less than 30 minutes last season and won the Sixth Talent of the Year award.

The future is different, all teams know how to rotate, Spurs facial paralysis, Cavaliers old man, Warriors braces are all examples. Especially the MVP who likes braces and doesn't want to get off work in three sessions is not a good elementary school student.

Yang Rui was speechless, but he couldn't tell Van Gundy that the Spurs would play like this in the future, and the core playing time was controlled at about 30 minutes, and they won five championships.

The Spurs' rotation tactics help ensure the health and condition of the veterans, which is exactly what Ewing and Johnson need.

So, the egg hurt happened, and Van Gundy actually let Oakley rest and let Ben Wallace and Ewing partner inside. In the case of a large lead, his first consideration is defense, and he wants to give full play to the ability of two people to block and guard the penalty area more tightly.

This is like Yao Ming's partner Hayes when the Rockets team, it is not suitable at all, Big Ben can't shoot, give up resistance to prevent blocking and dismantling, and the strength advantage can't be played, and the defensive guard mainly looks at lateral movement, what is the use of strength?

After fighting for a while, the tactics changed to Ewing heads-up again, and the others watched the excitement.

Van Gundy thought there was nothing wrong with playing like this, and Yang Rui thought that the game was ugly and wasted the talent of the players, and the two disagreed, and after a few words, they argued.

In the second half, the Knicks beat the Hornets, and Van Gundy also recognized the power of Yang Rui's offensive tactics, gave him face, and let Ewing and Johnson rest, but in the second half, Houston and Starks continued to play to ensure two outside firepower points.

Mills to the Knicks has become a marginal bench, which directly reflects how strong the Knicks are.

The game was played like this, Johnson, who originally wanted to perform well, was relieved, and there was no need to fall into the well in the face of such an old club.

Houston and Starks were responsible for the offense, and Childs, Ben Wallace, and Buck Williams were responsible for the defense, and the margin was extended to a maximum of 44 points.

In the final quarter, the Knicks played all off the bench, Atkins, Starks, Mills, Buck Williams, Ben Wallace, and the lineup crushed the Hornets who also sent all the benches.

Atkins found his feel after hitting two irons, scored on two breakaways after the pick-and-roll, hit a three-pointer from the perimeter, and Geiger's speed disadvantage was caught.

Ben Wallace grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds in a single quarter, and his performance was equally eye-catching, but his weaknesses were exposed, and he was sent to the free throw line twice, but he didn't make a single free throw, including a three-pointer.

The home team was abused, and the Hornets fans couldn't laugh at Ben's clumsy free throws, so he had a step down. With five minutes left in the game, many fans left the stadium early.

Van Gundy said to Yang Rui: "Take the time to practice more free throws, if he can practice shooting from one position at the free throw point, he can be qualified to start and become a star." ”

"I think it's hard for his muscle type to practice mid-range shots, so you better let him be a blue-collar worker." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Teaching the university to shoot is a more difficult task than winning the championship, and Yang Rui doesn't want this job to fall on his head. In his previous life, there were many people who helped Big Ben practice shooting, and he didn't succeed until he retired.

Just looking at the offense, Big Ben is a worse existence than Hayes, and Hayes will at least make free throws.

With a score of 117-76, the Knicks won by 41 points to get off to a good start.

Announcing the results, Lance said: "In the game that ended earlier, the Bulls lost to the Celtics in the opener. The Knicks have such a victory, and maybe they might be able to beat the Bulls. ”

Arnold lamented: "Today, we saw a different Knicks. ”
