The Knicks hit two three-pointers in a row and missed, and the two Knicks had good chances, which shows that there will be some problems with the Knicks' hand today.

For the team that has been attacking, in an important game, it really encountered a problem with the feel, which required the whole team to make adjustments, but at this time, Tyberdu was not in a hurry, because he believed that Li Feng could adjust himself.

Tyberdu believes that Li Feng has given Li Feng room to play, and Li Feng has indeed developed a strong ability to read the game by using this space.

Li Feng missed two three-pointers in a row at this time, and he also knew that there would be problems with the shooting rate, and at this moment, the Knicks must reverse their tactics and open a breakthrough in other aspects.

The Spurs came back at this point, and the basketball immediately changed its tricks.

Parker changed to a 45-degree cruise, and Duncan and Split made a cross screen at the free throw line, and Duncan took advantage of Split's cover to move two steps laterally to the right low post position.

The Spurs were varied, and this time they came back with a low-post offensive play, with Parker lobbing the ball to Duncan.

Duncan fulfilled his promise at this time and collided with Monroe fiercely with the ball.

Monroe was pressed into it by Duncan in two steps, and in this position, Duncan turned back and shot hard.

Now Duncan's bounce is gone, and his leaning is gone, so he can only play step back or play high master shooting.

Now that he is bullying a young man like Monroe, he naturally has a master, and Duncan's shot is an easy hit on Monroe's head.

The Spurs scored two points again, and the Spurs played three offenses in the opening game, and the three offenses were launched in completely different ways.

Parker's outside ball-handling singles, Ginobili's off-ball covers, Duncan's low-post singles, and the Spurs' three distinctive players can dominate three completely different offensive methods, which is also the strength of the Spurs.

From the start, the Spurs played so perfectly and orderly. It's really a lot of pressure on the Knicks.

The Knicks played again, and when Li Feng got the basketball, Li Feng decided to come by himself.

So Li Feng waved his hand and asked his teammates to all go to the right, and he wanted to single out Leonard on the left.

Leonard is also a new all-round small forward in the league, his skills are very good, known as the floor flow small forward, but what supports Leonard's ability to shoot without jumping is Leonard's strength, in the end, Leonard is still a big forward type of small forward. Because he is strong against you and has the strength to hold you down, he doesn't have to jump high to shoot, and you can't carry him, especially when he steps back.

Very good power and strength matchup, perfect technique, and excellent sense of rhythm are the basis for Leonard's unbridled jump shot from the outside.

Leonard's confrontation is strong, but it is not without weaknesses. For example, Leonard's speed is not absolutely fast.

So Li Feng played fast with the ball at this time, played simply, dribbled one step under his crotch, and strode to the side of the assault.

Li Feng took a big step and quickly assaulted over. Leonard followed sideways, and Li Feng suddenly pulled up and threw a pull-up jump shot.

Li Feng shot at Leonard's head so raw, Leonard was too tender to be able to do it.

"Bang" "Brush!" ”

Li Feng threw a wipe board. The basketball grazed the rebound and landed briskly into the Spurs' basket.

The Knicks finally scored, but at this point Bill Wharton came to say:

"The Knicks scored this time. But relying on Li Feng's personal offense, this effect is not as good as the Spurs, after all, the Spurs are completely open as soon as they start, while the Knicks rely on one person. ”

The Knicks did not play well at the beginning, and in this case, Li Feng scored and landed and yelled at his teammates:

"Hit in, be sure to get in."

The Knicks didn't start with a good long-range shot, and the strategy began to shift.

When the Knicks' strategy shifted, the rhythm of the Spurs also changed, the Spurs were all slow-paced advances before, and this round came over, Parker took the ball and suddenly advanced quickly.

Parker pushed in quickly, and suddenly pulled to the left wing, and he stabbed Dragic on the left wing, but Dragic's defense was very strong, and Parker was not easy to play here.

He immediately turned around and passed the ball to Duncan, who followed up with Duncan, who glanced at the top of the arc and transferred the basketball to Ginobili on the weak side.

Ginobili held the ball, and at this time, Parker on the other side took the initiative to go over to Leonard to cross cover, Leonard used Parker's cover to run to the top of the arc, and Duncan came up at the top of the arc to covertly move Leonard to cover.

This time Li Feng was blocked behind, Li Feng was blocked Leonard moved over is vacant, Ginobili has also been the core of the team, and his passing ability is not bad, so he immediately seized this opportunity, turned around and passed the ball to Leonard, Leonard took the ball and shot a three-point shot.

"Brush!"

Leonard also hit a three-pointer shot.

The Spurs hit good shots one after another, and when the Knicks couldn't shoot from a distance, the Spurs' three-point shots were exceptionally good.

As soon as the game started, the Spurs beat the Knicks to a small climax, and San Antonio's home stadium was thunderous.

At this time, in the cheers of San Antonio's home stadium, Li Feng took the ball again, he glanced at the opponent's inside line, and to everyone's surprise, he did not play by himself, but played a team tactical gesture.

At this time, when Tyberdu was on the sidelines, Li Feng was about to call a timeout, but he stopped shouting.

Li Feng's command on the court coincides with Taberdu's thoughts.

In the eyes of the fans in the audience, the Knicks came over this round and opened very open.

Cousins came up and continued to block and dismantle Li Feng Dragic, and when the Spurs' attention was all on Li Feng, Li Feng suddenly made a crotch ground pass between the marches to Cousins, who cut inside after the block.

Cousins was at the free throw line, turned, caught the ball, and went straight to the layup.

Cousins, a big center, played these movements too smoothly, and when Cousins made a layup, one shoulder also leaned against Split.

Split had no way to take Cousins, Cousins scored 2 points, and the Knicks played these two points with ease.

At this moment, once it appeared, Joan Bari also reacted immediately:

"Li Feng's gesture must have allowed Cousins to play an air-cut tactic. Among all the matchups between the Knicks and the Spurs, Cousins' air cut to Split is the most effective after Li Feng's single, because Split moves slowly at his feet and his coordination is not good, so he can't keep up with Cousins' air cut, and the Spurs have a flaw in this point. ”

Joan Barry is worthy of being a legendary center, he is very accurate at once, Li Feng's previous gesture is indeed to hit Cousins's air cut, and Tyberdu gave up calling a timeout until Li Feng made the right command.

The Knicks came up just confused. It was quickly adjusted, with Li Feng adjusting on the court, Tyberdu didn't need to call a timeout, this adjustment was faster than the coach's adjustment, and the Lakers also suffered at this point.

Now the Spurs have also encountered this situation, Li Feng is leading the team on the court, faster than adjusting with the coach,

At this time, the Spurs came again. The Spurs were again open to the pitch, and then Ginobili and Parker crossed over on the left flank.

Ginobili took advantage of Parker's cover and went around to the baseline at once, in this position. Ginobili paused slightly.

At this time, Split came over and made a positioning cover for Ginobili in the penalty area, Ginobili used this cover at this time to run out from the bottom line to the top of the arc, and Ginobili used this positioning cover to get rid of the defense in an instant.

And at this time. Parker was just right in time to pass the basketball to Ginobili.

Ginobili took the ball and shot a quick shot to shoot a two-pointer: "Brush!" "Ginobili really felt good today, and he hit both shots.

The Spurs are still scoring, and the Spurs' sophisticated tactics are still working.

Just after the Spurs scored. The Knicks hit again, and the Knicks played another Cousins cut-in tactic, but this time the Knicks started to cut from 45 degrees, and the 45-degree cut was closer to the basket and more threatening, and Cousins easily scored two points as soon as he took the ball and turned around.

If it is luck to play one occasionally, then now the Knicks have moved from one place twice in a row, which means that this is the Knicks' tactic.

Popovich also stood up and scratched his head at this time, the Knicks adjusted so quickly, it was definitely not the result that Popovich wanted.

But replacing Split so early, Popovich was a little unwilling, because once Split was lost, the Spurs' defensive level would definitely be greatly reduced.

While Popovich hesitated, the Spurs played again and Parker picked up the ball at the top of the arc.

The Spurs came in with another two-wing cover to catch the ball, but this time the Spurs took turns on both sides.

Leonard ran out to get the ball and then broke through to Ginobili, who hit the ground and passed it to Duncan.

When Duncan got the ball, there was an open space at the top of the arc half a step from the three-point line, and in this place and the empty space, Duncan took the ball and shot the ball at a mid-range.

The game has been played so far, and the Spurs are still playing in an orderly manner, but the Spurs' shooting rate cannot be 100%.

Duncan missed, and the Spurs came over and played another Cousins one-on-one game.

But at this time, Split kept his mind, took a step back, and waited for Cousins in the back, according to Split's thoughts, he could always prevent Cousins by taking a step back.

But Split took a step back here, Cousins took the ball ahead and leaned forward, and when Split moved at his feet, Cousins actually got up and made a small mid-range shot.

"Brush!"

Cousins also hit a small mid-range shot, Cousins scored 6 points in a row, and the Knicks silently relied on Cousins to turn the score back.

At this time, the Spurs finally couldn't sit still, and the Spurs immediately called a timeout, and they needed to adjust the lineup.

Just as the Spurs called a timeout, Joanbari immediately spoke:

"Today's game was really interesting, the opening Spurs played in an orderly manner, the outside shooting rate was also good, the Knicks didn't feel good shooting, but in the blink of an eye, the Knicks seized a weakness of the Spurs and equalized the score in an instant, and the start of this game revealed us a very interesting message."

"The Knicks are not a team that relies on talent and offensive touch, and they can quickly find a way when they are against the trend and have a bad hand, which is the foundation and adaptability that a strong team should have."

Bill Wharton also said at this time:

"Split is usually a tough guy, but now he has nothing to do with Cousins, which can be regarded as a mutual restraint."

"Split is a perfect weapon to fill in space for a team like Spurs. But once Split faces a single defense, there will still be a lot of problems, and this kind of South American interior line has always had obvious weaknesses. ”

When the Knicks called a timeout on the Spurs, Tyberdeau quickly replaced Belineri with Smith.

The Knicks took the initiative to cut their height, and the Spurs also replaced Split and replaced Blair.

After the timeout, the Spurs had the ball, and the Spurs were still in order at this time.

Duncan plays inside, and the Spurs play a combination of inside and outside, in this case. Parker, who had been mainly an organizer, suddenly rushed over and broke through, which immediately caused a foul on the newly substituted Smith.

Parker went to the free throw line and hit both free throws, and the Spurs opened the game today not only in an orderly manner, but also really steadily.

Although Cousins was missed before, he immediately made adjustments, and the Spurs can continue to score points after the timeout.

Li Feng was on the sidelines, and the Spurs made adjustments, and he immediately reached out to signal his teammates to change tactics.

Tactics changed from Cousins' main offense. Cousins is naturally a little disappointed here, but at this time, in order to win, he must obey Li Feng's command.

After Li Feng gestured, the Knicks suddenly played a high double screen. Cousins pulled out with Monroe.

These two guys pull out together, and the Spurs' basket is immediately empty, because both of them have mid-range shots, and the Spurs have to pull them all out as well.

However, the moment when the Spurs were empty under the basket. Li Feng quickly passed the ball to Smith, and Smith singled out Parker on the baseline and changed direction. Then he forced his way through and went to the basket and killed.

Smith is extremely resolute in breaking through, Parker does not lose to Smith in speed, but the strength is a little worse, and Smith plays resolutely, Parker is not fully prepared, he was suddenly squeezed out of the position, Smith threw a throw at a negative angle on the baseline.

"Brush!"

Smith came up with a baseline breakthrough and hit a strong shot, and also scored two points.

Smith's ball hit, and Popovich sighed right away, because he had found out at this point.

Li Feng's adjustment ability is almost super, and when he replaced Blair, the Knicks immediately opened up space and prepared to break through.

This is almost a move aimed at the Spurs, with a guy like Li Feng on the court, the Spurs want to get rid of the Knicks, it's difficult! At this time, Tyberdu is happily sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, with the existence of players like Li Feng, his work as a head coach has been reduced a lot, and Li Feng and Tyberdu still have a tacit understanding, so that the Knicks are like two coaches, one is on the court to deal with the situation, and the other is doing logistics preparations off the court.

This mode of operation is more than what an off-court head coach can do, and the Knicks are not weak in their ability and mature in terms of skills and tactics.

As a result, although the Spurs played quite well, the first quarter was still a tie between the two teams.

24-24, the two teams are tied, but don't forget at this time, today's Knicks' most powerful shooting did not come out, the Knicks were still able to keep up with the Spurs in the case of very low shooting, and the Spurs were tied, but today the Spurs played very well, whether it was a team or individual shooting rate, the Spurs had a performance.

One of the biggest advantages didn't come out, one played pretty well, and the result was a tie, which was a win for the Knicks and a wordless defeat for the Spurs.

At this time, Bill Wharton, who was in the commentary seat, also said:

"The current Knicks really have the flavor of an old team, and when they are not in good shape, they can use some small means to stabilize the score, which is very difficult to do."

Joan Bari also said at this time:

"Indeed, the Spurs need to work hard if they want to win today, they can't win against the Knicks if they play so widely, and they still need to play hard, bloody and bloody, and they can't play well in general."

"That's true!"

Bill Wharton also said at this time:

"After all, both teams are very strong and have the qualifications to impact the championship, so it is difficult for both teams to win if they can't play at a super level."

Although the battle between the two teams in the first quarter was fierce, it had not yet reached the point of seeing red bayonets, and both teams had some sense of finding out.

On the bench, at this time Tyberdu also said:

"How! Spurs, those old guys are shrewd enough! ”

"Those guys play many times more than you, and we're going to lose a lot of time compared to them with experience and on-the-spot adaptability, so in the second quarter, we need to work harder, pick up the tempo, run, take advantage of our own youth, and defensively have to be quick to wrap up, rotate quickly, and give the old guys a little bit of power."

While Tyberdu was here ready to pick up the tempo, Popovich had his own ideas, saying to his players from the bench:

"The Knicks are tough opponents and it's not easy to win against them, but we have to win because we don't have a lot of time."

When Popovich said this, the Spurs' eyes changed to the veterans inside, and they all understood that time was more precious to them.

"The Knicks played very purposefully in the first half, and we have to change that, and the only way to change the situation is to defend, and to use our defense to tell those young people what basketball is." (To be continued......)
