Chapter 70 [You Can't Win at All]

On the 24th, the first derby was played at Madison Square Garden. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The regular season record is the first, and the popularity of the Knicks still can't be compared with the Bulls, even if Yang Rui is there, China's CCTV5 also chose to broadcast the Bulls VS Cavaliers live. Fans all over the world are watching Jordan's curtain call.

The game was only broadcast live on New York and New Jersey local stations, and other media were not interested, believing that the difference in strength between the two teams was huge and there would be no upset.

Knicks starters: Childes, Houston, Bowen, Johnson, Ewing.

Nets starters: Kassel, Kendall Gill, Corey Kittels, Van Horn, Chris Gatlin.

Just like Yang Rui predicted, the Nets' plan was to focus on the Knicks' outside offense, sending two mobile skinny big partners on the inside, and the star blue-collar Jason Williams who was responsible for resisting people was on the bench.

This arrangement can also remove the interior line, and if Ewing does not leave the restricted area, it will be difficult for the Nets to hit the basket.

Ewing jumps and wins, and the game begins.

Childs passed the ball to Johnson, stood 70 degrees on the right side and waited for an opportunity, Johnson took the ball in the middle and formed a one-on-one with Van Horn.

Childes' return to the starting line-up was Van Gundy's idea, and he defended better than Ward, was stronger than the confrontation, and was better suited to defend Kassel. Yang Rui doesn't object, it doesn't matter if Childs is poor, because there is no need for a point guard organization today.

Johnson waited for Houston to run and passed the ball, Gatlin switched defenses, and Ewing cut to the basket after covering it.

Houston first passed back to Johnson in the middle, Johnson leaned on Van Horn, and the inside pass was given to the basket, and the range of cooperation between the three was very small, so small that the Nets couldn't stop it.

As soon as Gatlin turned around, he saw Ewing squeezing out of Kassel in a misplaced position, taking the ball and taking a step forward with both hands! 2 to 0.

No matter how mobile he is, there is a process of turning, Gatlin does not dare to let go of Houston completely, and no one in the whole league dares to do this, which is where the Knicks' internal and external duo is strong, they can always create heads-up opportunities for each other.

The Nets attacked, the Knicks began to mark people, Ewing defended Gatling alone, defended near the penalty area, and put two steps away.

After passing a few times, the ball went to Gatlin's hand, Ewing didn't shoot it when he didn't break through, Gatlin made a jump shot after he shook it, he pounced and reached out to interfere, didn't jump, just scared, the ball popped off the basket, and Johnson won the rebound on the other side.

Williams wasn't there, and the Nets' rebounding ability was weak.

In the Knicks positional battle, Johnson passed to Houston, Houston dribbled to the middle and transferred the ball to Ewing on the left, Johnson squeezed away Van Horn and cut to the basket.

Ewing passed the ball to Johnson from the top of Kassel's head at 45 degrees, and the latter took the ball and jumped up and scored with a one-handed dunk! 4 to 0.

The Nets attacked, and Cassel broke through with the ball after blocking and dismantling, and was followed by Johnson's change of defense. He can bully small defenders with his height and back, he can't beat Johnson, the ball is passed out of the perimeter, Van Horn is close to Childs, he can't shoot comfortably, and he dribbles two steps and then finds his teammates.

After passing a few times and not being available, Cassel singled out Childs, broke through the frame, leaned on his back, turned and shot was interfered with, and the ball missed.

Both of them are 191CM tall and weigh 88 kg, with similar figures, Kassel has no physical advantage, and Childs has excellent defensive prediction, and he can only fight if he can't get rid of it.

Ewing got the rebound, and the Knicks fell into the battle again. This time, Ewing received the ball on the left side and drew Gatlin's attention to the low post on the left.

Johnson took the ball with his back and leaned on Van Horn, forced a turn to the baseline, and scored a backhand basketball. 6 to 0.

Van Horn is 208CM tall, weighs only 100 kg, has comprehensive skills, and the most suitable position is a small forward, so that he can defend the inside line is a colander, and his confrontation ability is too poor.

Johnson weighs 113 kilograms, and his arms are almost as thick as Van Horn's head, how can he guard against such a person?

The Nets' offense was still initiated by Kassel, who singled out Childles with the ball and stepped back to shoot the ball. 6 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, the inside pass cooperated, Johnson leaned on Van Horn twice with his back and turned to the middle, took the ball with both hands, took another step forward, and relied on Van Horn to get up.

Van Horn's softness was mainly reflected in the defensive end, and the fouls were not resolute, and he was scored by the opponent again. 8 to 2.

The Nets' offense didn't have any tricks, but Cassel switched to one side to block and dismantle, and in the face of Ewing forcing a breakthrough to the basket, Ewing followed sideways, and his long arms covered too much area, so he couldn't shoot, and went around in a circle and passed to his teammates.

A couple of passes were as fast as 24 seconds were made, and Kittels missed a pull-up jumper and Ewing got the rebound.

John Calyparry shouted from the sidelines for Gatlin to switch places, knowing Van Horn couldn't defend himself. But the Knicks scored again with just one simple switch.

Johnson pulls out the perimeter to draw the defense, and Houston lobs the ball to Ewing. Ewing singled low on the left and leaned on Van Horn to turn and hook the ball into the middle. 10 to 2.

Kassel couldn't break through the dribble and was distributed to the outside, Van Horn singled out Johnson and couldn't get rid of it, and he didn't hit a pull-up jump shot.

Caliparry called Jason Williams to his side and was ready to put him on the pitch, but it was difficult to break down the opposition defense right now, and the blue-collar center would be even worse offensive. He had no choice but to defend.

The Knicks attacked, Ewing received the ball and went heads-up, and Van Horn pulled a foul early.

Ewing made both free throws, 12-2.

Williams played, Marv Albert praised: "The Nets who played the Knicks in the opening game were forced to make substitutions, and today they uncharacteristically didn't shoot three points, and they hit the basket back, Van Horn is averaging close to 20 points per game this year, but he still needs to improve on the defensive end." ”

Marty Glickman said: "Williams replaces Gatlin, so Ewing has an easy time on the defensive end. ”

Both explanations are very thorough, the Knicks are not only attacking, but also defense-tough.

Cassel continued to find Van Horn to block and dismantle, Johnson single-defense interference, Cassel forced a breakthrough layup and missed, Ewing controlled the rebound in the backcourt.

At this time, Kalipari suddenly remembered what the other party said when he met Yang Rui for the first time.

"Dribbling through tactics, I think it should be called 'AASAA', which is 'I hit, I hit, I burst, I hit, I play again'. Mr. Calipari, you have taken this tactic to its forefront and given it the new designation, DDM. Among them, the defender's ability to break through with the ball is its lifeline, am I right? ”

"If the opponent is stuck at the core guard, you can't win without a good point guard."

Both interior lines can pull out outside shots, and Cassel's role is easy to play, and after Williams came out, he was really stuck.

Because Cassel can only go on the strong side, if he plays on the weak side, the opponent can wrap him up and let Williams, who shoots badly.

The Knicks attacked, Houston and Ewing covered without the ball, Williams changed the defense a little slower, Houston made a three-point jumper, the ball did not score, Johnson cut into the basket, rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, and relied on Van Horn's second offense. 14 to 2.

Still unable to prevent it, Calipari broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he finally understood the reason why Yang Rui said that at that time.

As early as that time, Yang Rui looked down on him, and his self-confidence was ****** stronger than him
