There was no need for Yang Rui to remind him that Van Gundy adjusted the lineup, Bowen continued to start, and Oakley came off the bench. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. People come into contact with each other, and mutual influence is certain.

Van Gundy once set the league's record for the youngest assistant coach and head coach, and is clearly a smart man. What he wants to do now is to learn from each other's strengths and make some of Yang Rui's offensive tactics his own, rather than denying his basketball philosophy.

As long as he arranges for the offensive level to improve, he naturally will not feel inferior to the young assistant.

"Bruce, don't be afraid of Hill's fame, you defend the breakaway, interfere with his shooting, and the other players pay attention to shrinking. Keep an eye on Hunter from the outside and don't let him shoot a three-pointer. If someone blocks Hunter, change the guard in time. ”

Van Gundy was talking about defense, and his eyebrows fluttered.

The person he asked Bowen to deal with was Grant Hill, the recognized successor to Jordan, which shows how optimistic he is.

3D players, in basketball terms, are three-point shooting and defense, which refers to the team that has both stable three-point shooting ability and the ability to provide high-intensity defense on the defensive end, such players are popular in any era.

Bowen is a model of 3D players, but unfortunately he was born in a bad era, and 3D players can earn tens of millions of annual salaries in the future, in Yang Rui's previous life, Bowen's highest annual salary in his career was only 2 million, and it is estimated that he would cry and faint in the toilet when he watched the news at home.

The offense is played according to the style of play in the last game, Yang Rui did not give any opinion, and the tactics he arranged are simple and not so easy to crack, which is a simplified version of Princeton. The reuse of new players boosted the team's morale, and the substitutes were not sullen on the sidelines, waiting for the manager's call.

The Pistons started Lynch Hunter, Malik Healy, Grant Hill, Grant Lang, Bison Dele.

The current coach of the Pistons is Doug Collins, and the tactics are mainly to win the game defensively, and the offense relies on Hill's personal ability to solve problems.

As a member of the Knicks, Yang Rui focused on Hill, who was reduced to a role player in the 21st century due to multiple injuries in his previous life. Now he is super popular, and he is a two-time All-Star vote champion as soon as he entered the league, averaging 21.4 points, 9 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game last season.

If it weren't for the injury, Hill would have been in the Hall of Fame. Therefore, Yang Rui, who has not seen Hill play much, wants to know how powerful he is at his peak.

After the start of the game, Hill played averagely, and the two sides played dullly.

The Knicks players blocked the restricted area, and Hill didn't score so easily, giving the ball to his teammates again and again.

Yang Rui quickly saw that Hill's style of play was flawed, he had poor long-range shots, was good at breaking through, and the first step changed direction very quickly.

It's no accident that Hill was seriously injured again and again, Brandon Roy, who played similarly to him, retired with a knee injury in five seasons, and Derrick Rose had multiple surgeries to sign a super bad contract, killing the Bulls.

Of course, this kind of player must not be underestimated in his prime, he can create gaps to lead the whole team, and he can also make fouls when he gets to the basket.

In the first quarter, Bowen spared no effort to entangle Hill closely, and was replaced at 7 minutes, and the defense was good.

It's impossible to keep Bowen playing for too long, and if a person plays for 15 minutes, it's very powerful to play with the goal of exhausting his physical strength.

Hill burst into the interior and the Knicks wrapped it up, passed the ball out, and except for Hunter, the Pistons players were unreliable in shooting.

The Knicks' offense was equally bad in the first quarter, relying on off-ball cover, constantly running on the outside to find opportunities to shoot, Pistons players can always keep up with the rhythm, only Johnson is difficult to defend with his body to crush the outside singles.

Johnson seems to have a second spring, and Van Gundy decided to keep him playing the No. 4 position, which is indeed much more efficient than playing small forward.

Johnson is also a talent ruined by injury, and he had a chance to achieve no less than Malone or Barkley, and the pinnacle was in the first two seasons of his career. Even if his explosiveness is not as strong as before, he still has super singles ability.

The Pistons mainly relied on quick counterattacks to score, and the two sides tied at 16 in the first quarter, and the low score could not be watched.

As soon as they were replaced on the bench in the second quarter, the Knicks immediately exceeded the score.

The Pistons appear to have a strong bench lineup, led by Aaron McGee, Rick Mahon, and Theo Ratliff. The only one who can actually attack is McGee, and everything will be fine if he dies.

Ratliff is excellent defensively, useless on the offensive end, and Mahon has reached the age of retirement, and the defensive pace can't keep up.

Starks relied on off-ball cover tactics to hit two three-pointers in a row, and Oakley also pulled out two high-post shots. It's a pity that Van Gundy is still too conservative, let Childs play point guard to strengthen the defense, and don't use Atkins, otherwise it will be easy for Atkins to block and pass Mahon after the dismantling.

Yang Rui was depressed watching from the sidelines, and this time he didn't argue with Van Gundy on the sidelines, saving him enough face.

Van Gundy's approach to stability cannot be said to be wrong, but the two have different ideas, one values defense and the other likes to attack.

Relying on the advantage of overall strength, the Knicks also firmly controlled the situation in the second half, leading 82-65 at the end of the third quarter.

Ewing took a break in the final quarter, Wallace completed the bench task well, and Oakley protected the rebounding ball and defended the restricted area, and Starks, Houston, and Johnson worked together to expand the difference to more than 20 points and enter garbage time.

At halftime, Yang Rui discussed with Van Gundy and made a new attempt, not a point guard, Oakley is responsible for pulling the high organization, he has rich game experience, has a certain ability to adapt, last season averaged 2.8 assists per game, or without deliberately arranging tactics under the premise of getting.

In this way, Oakley's emotions were appeased, even if he was a substitute, he could not accept that he played less than 30 minutes, and he would be uncomfortable with nowhere to do it.

Hill didn't adjust his style of play even if he fell behind by a big score, he still broke through and shot in the middle, didn't bet on three points, and there was no possibility of catching up by playing two points offensively.

108-83, the Knicks won two in a row.

Starks had 28 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and made five three-pointers, the most points on the team.

Ewing shot 7-of-13 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

Johnson missed the mark on 8-of-15 shooting, 4-of-6 from the free-throw line and 0-of-5 from three-point range to finish with 20 points, four rebounds and two assists.

Houston's two consecutive games were average, he started his career with the Pistons, and the Pistons players knew that he shot accurately, and he didn't take many shots throughout the game, only playing 24 minutes and scoring 11 points.

Marv Albert, known as the "Voice of the New York Knicks", summed up the game and said excitedly: "It seems that the last big win is not accidental, the Knicks are indeed stronger than last season!" ”
