After the pause, it was still the Eagles' ball, and the Eagles played very well from beginning to end today, according to the words of Director Zhang, it was very reasonable. But in terms of score, he has always lagged behind the very unreasonable Knicks.

This one is very troublesome! But the fans at Madison Square Garden don't bother, the domestic fans don't, the Knicks fans don't bother, they all take it for granted.

The Hawks played Korver this round and immediately took advantage of Korver's off-ball run. It was up to Korver's off-ball run to pull the Knicks' defense apart very accurately, and then Teague used the cover in the middle to single a high jumper.

Dragic was still poor at defending Teague's jumper, and Vucevic was lacking in experience defending perimeter players.

The two didn't look at each other, and Teague came back to score two points first! These two points were scored by Teague though.

But Korver's contribution is not small, and Korver's off-ball runs play a significant role in opening up space.

One Korver takes at least 20 per cent of the pitch, that's a lot of numbers. On the pitch, one or two percent can change the situation. One Korver took away such a large space, and the Eagles' offense was naturally easy to play. Especially for a player like Teague who needs space, with Korver on his side, he has more room to play.

The Eagles switched to a mixed lineup and played sharper and more flexible on offense. But on the defensive end, the Eagles still suffered a little, after all, the overall height was reduced.

As soon as Belineri saw that the defender in front of him was Korver, he wanted to bully the other party, take the ball and be beaten by Korver, and teach this former teammate a lesson.

Although Korver was a shooter, he resisted Belineri underneath, and Belineri missed the shot when he turned around.

Belineri is still gnawing on the hard bones!

The Knicks missed shots, Smith and Toliver both stuck the backcourt rebounds, and the Hawks were meticulous in all of these areas.

There are still traces of the Knicks' defense of the Hawks before. But now that Korver has come up, the Hawks' offense is much more flexible.

Korver can run without the ball, and Toliver's offensive methods are full of tricks, so the Knicks are not easy to defend, and the Hawks' pair of interior lines are all types that can face the frame, carry the basket, and also shoot.

In this way, Smith and Tolivier can switch positions to a certain extent. On the offensive end, the Eagles are more flexible.

At this point, Tolliver and Smith switched positions, Cousins couldn't save in front of Toliver, allowing Tolliver's easy shot to hit the Knicks' basket.

After the Eagles adjusted the lineup, the offense became more flexible, and the scoring gradually rose.

In this way, even if the Knicks are currently on offense, they can't beat the Hawks for a while.

Because while the Knicks can score, the Hawks are also scoring. The Hawks relied on their strong will to hang up the Knicks to the death, so that the Knicks could not pull the score away.

When it came time for the team to come off the bench completely. Hawks Anthony Morrow, DeSean Stevenson, Korver, Toliver. Pachulia and so on, an old substitute. It is also the Eagles' bench lineup that is seamlessly managed.

At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams was still 8 points, and the Knicks led the Hawks 88-80.

The third quarter is over! More than half of the game, the Hawks didn't beat the Knicks in morale or score.

From the beginning of the game to the present, the Knicks are still holding down the Hawks to the death. At this time, Woodson was not in a hurry. Because there is still the last quarter, Woodson has patience, and he has to set off a wave of offensive in the last quarter.

If the Eagles win! The eagle had nothing to say. If you lose, the eagles still have nothing to say. Because the Knicks played a lot of unexpected cards today, these uncertainties made the Hawks suffer.

This loss, today the eagle can't swallow it!

Woodson calmly watched the court, planning a counterattack in the last quarter. At this time, the Knicks hit here, and everything in front of them can be considered perfect.

The opening was unexpected, and the Knicks hit the point completely in the middle of a few waves of Li Feng's key shots. When it was time to exert force, a wave also fell, and when it was time to attack, it was successful.

The Knicks' appearance so far in the game was perfect, and even Barry and Bill Wharton could only praise the Knicks' performance at this point.

Tyberdeau is absolutely happy with his team, losing Rose and Monroe, who were able to perform like this in the first game. It's an asset for the whole team.

It will also have a positive impact on the future careers of these players, and Tyberdu is very satisfied with the game so far.

Of course, Tyberdu understands that playing the first three quarters is not as difficult as playing the last quarter.

In the last quarter, because of the pressure of time and the cruelty of the game, the mentality in the game will be more important. The psychological pressure in the fourth quarter is easy to crush the newcomers, so at this time, when the fourth quarter is coming, Tyberdu first adjusts everyone's mentality and says to the players on the bench:

"We all played well today. Now the fourth quarter is coming, and the fourth quarter is the one that decides the winner. Today we are going to win, but I ask you to open your mind. Completely let go and play! Don't have baggage, we are young people, so baggage does not belong to us. We are young, so what we do makes sense! Don't be afraid of mistakes, don't be nervous when you're behind, and don't be careless when you're ahead. ”

"Keep a stable mentality, be open-minded, play more consistently, be more aggressive with your enemies. In this way, we will win this game! ”

Tyberdu came up to reduce the burden on his players, or gave his players a more relaxed environment.

The Eagles are a different story, and Woodson is not going to take the burden off his players. He came over or mentioned more of the demands he asked for his team.

It's more ferocious, it's more ferocious, and now that it's lagging behind, let go of your hands and feet to project decisively in the fourth quarter, especially when it's open in an instant, you must catch it if you can catch it.

Woodson still wants to fight for the last game, and for that he can gamble with the Knicks to a certain extent.

Both sides are working hard for the end of the game, this time before the game starts. Su Qun said in the broadcast studio in China: "

Today, the Knicks played very well in the first three quarters, why am I very afraid in the first to fourth quarter? This feels weird. ”

Director Zhang heard Su Qun say this. I laughed right away. Director Zhang knew the reason for Su Qun's mentality, but he couldn't say it clearly.

So Director Zhang smiled, and he said:

"Li Feng's personality is a little different from that of ordinary Chinese. I'm not worried about Li Feng, Chinese people are always missing some fierce characters. So you can't always kill the other party fiercely, but I'm not worried about Li Feng at this point. As long as Li Feng is given a chance, he will also kill the other party fiercely. So I'm not worried now! ”

Director Zhang said good things to Li Feng like this, which can be regarded as unique.

During the live broadcast on the American side, Barry and Bill Wharton were talking about another topic.

Barry was interested in the Knicks' new tactic, and he discussed it with Bill Wharton on the sidelines.

"The Knicks' tactics today were very successful. It's also very chic! But do we see that this tactic of the Knicks is a tactic in a special period, or can it be used all the time? If they use this tactic in the next game, will it still work? ”

Barry asked a few questions about the future, and Bill Wharton, although he couldn't answer Barry's questions comprehensively, said from experience:

"The Knicks' tactics today were actually implemented when Rose was playing point guard, but the Knicks didn't play so completely before, and today the Knicks played the greatest power of this tactic."

"So the Knicks' tactics today are definitely not special tactics. It's the true colors of the Knicks. It is estimated that as long as the Knicks' big lineup remains unchanged in the future, this set of tactics will still be their regular tactics. ”

Since it is the Knicks' regular tactics, the Hawks may be able to restrain the Knicks' rhythm in future games. But it's impossible to make the Knicks completely unable to play, because the Knicks' system is complete. It's not a broken tactic anymore! ”

Bill Wharton explained as best he could. The current use of this set of tactics by the Knicks.

Barry also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Bill Wharton's statement. At this time, Barry took out a table, which recorded the efficiency of every player in the first three quarters of the day.

Americans and Europeans especially like to quantify everything in numbers, which is completely different from the Chinese habit.

On playing basketball. In the past decade, Americans have also launched a data revolution. Americans have an in-depth numerical analysis of basketball, and they take a different approach. The efficiency and effectiveness of each player are counted in the form of comprehensive data.

The most widely accepted way to count data is the per efficiency value, which is calculated through a complex formula. The reason why this PER efficiency can be accepted by most people is that he still objectively quantifies the role of the players on the field, but this efficiency value is not absolute. In any case, the data is just the data, and he definitely can't reflect the full range of the court.

At this time, Barry took out the efficiency value to point out the name of the top line, it was Li Feng, Li Feng's efficiency value in the first three quarters of today reached a terrifying 35, which is very rare. Li Feng is followed by the Eagles' Teague and Smith, but the efficiency of the two of them is only between 23 and 22. This efficiency value is still significantly different from Li Feng.

Barry pointed to Li Feng's efficiency value at this time and said:

"Li Feng's efficiency today is scary! The shooting percentage was horrific at 60 percent, and the efficiency on the defensive end was amazing. Then look at the other players of the Knicks, their efficiency values are significantly lower than Li Feng, and even lower than the average of the Hawks. ”

According to this efficiency value, if the Knicks don't have Li Feng today, they will be beaten badly by the Hawks. In other words, once Li Feng's efficiency value is not good, the Knicks will still be beaten by the Hawks very badly. ”

"If I were Woodson, I would try to keep his number as low as possible. I think it's an absolutely good way to beat the Knicks! ”

Barry gave Woodson a boost in stats, but his wink was in vain. Data analytics is a new thing to come about in the last few years, and it's only getting popular with rockets right now. Although he has shown momentum, he has not yet enlisted the eyes of an old figure like Woodson.

Woodson wasn't going to do data analytics, at least not until he quit his job.

So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hawks still followed their old ways. It's just that the intensity has increased many times over.

The Hawks' bench lineup played very ferociously at the beginning of the third quarter. Stevenson and Morrow are even more upside down on the outside, constantly impacting the Knicks' outside line. It didn't take long for the Hawks to punch a gap in the Knicks' perimeter.

Now that the fourth quarter is here, the Hawks are still behind, so the Hawks are playing harder! I was a little hesitant to make a move before, but I dared to make a move at this time, and now I dare to do the action that I didn't dare to do before, and now I dare to do it when I am forced to a corner.

That's why Morrow and Stevenson came up to play so very well and so efficiently. Compared with the Hawks, the Knicks' side of Tyberdeau emphasized a liberal mentality. But being cornered and not being cornered are two completely different mentalities. At this time, the eagles who are in the chaser position have more advantages in mentality.

The Eagles' opening aura was resolute, making people feel that the fourth quarter was coming. This is a red flag! Compared to the Eagles' group of seasoned trained substitutes. The Knicks came off the bench at this time, and they still relied very much on Vucevic's role.

The Knicks came over and handed the basketball to Vucevic first, and Vucevic took the ball outside the three-point line and habitually waved his hands on it.

Vucevic's shot is very similar to a powerful two-handed pass.

So every time Vucevic threw him like this, others didn't know what he was going to do. This can be regarded as a unique feint by Vucevic!

At this time, Vucevic shook his hands, and Toliver, who was opposite him, was immediately a little blind. Just as he was blinded, Vucevic took the ball himself and hit the Eagles' basket with one step, and then carried it with his back.

Vucevic's strategy and long-range shots are good, and the basket is acceptable, but the breakthrough speed of the face frame is not good. He didn't pass Tolivier. I can only carry it to death, turn around and hook my hand to the layup.

Vucevic was really lucky today, he was far from the basket, and he still hit the hook with ease.

Vucevic also had the first match today. Today's performance can only be regarded as mediocre, without the same convulsions as Dragic and Belineri, and he has not lost his standard and has been very consistent. It's really rare for a rookie to be able to play basketball like this.

The fourth quarter opened, although both teams scored! But it is clearly visible. The Hawks scored a little easier, and the Knicks had a little more difficulty.

It was a very faint trend, but Tyberdu immediately pulled up Vucevic on the bench and asked Vucevic to warm up first.

Vucevic's singles ability, although it can't cover the world, can still go up to the top when the team's offense is weak.

Tyberdu pulled Vucevic up on the Hawks' side to the Knicks' half. Korver immediately ran around and hit a three-pointer in front of Kirilenko with the basketball.

"Brush!"

The Eagles' three-pointer came too fast!

Before the Hawks hit the Knicks' three-pointers, it was quite difficult.

The Knicks didn't give the Hawks a few open shots at all, but now this three-point shot Korver didn't shoot in the open spot at all, there was clearly someone standing in front of him, this guy got up and threw three points, and the three-point shot went in.

This trend is very bad for the Knicks, and the Hawks' offense is more resolute, which is a signal to start a decisive battle.

When Woodson gave up on his conservatism, the Hawks were undoubtedly in a fighting mode.

At this time, Tyberdu hurriedly jumped to the side of the court and shouted:

"Let go of the fight! Let go of your mind and fight! ”

Tyberdu has given his players a lot of autonomy, but right now the Knicks' problem is not a tactical one. It's that the Knicks do lack a bench outside line who can resist some, and when the Knicks play again, they will be immediately defended by the Hawks. The basketball could only fall into the hands of Vucevic again, and Vucevic came up to play again!

But strong play is really not Vucevic's advantage, Vucevic's advantage lies in long-range shooting and strategy, and strong play is really not good!

Vucevic went up and was beaten by the Hawks, and the Knicks missed another ball.

Stevenson came up this time, broke through the middle and went on a rampage, making a foul on Harris at once, and Harris raised his hand in frustration.

Seeing that the morale of the Eagles was played up, and they scored continuously, Tyberdu glanced at the time, and only played for a minute in the fourth quarter, and Li Feng still couldn't play.

At this time, he can only pull Cousins up and form an inside combination with Vucevic.

Stevenson made both free throws from the free-throw line, and the difference between the two teams quickly shortened to four points, 88-84.

The Knicks were forced to get closer, and at this time, Director Zhang of the domestic broadcast studio also said:

"The Eagles played more decisively in the fourth quarter! After they fell behind, they were at the end of the fourth quarter and had no choice but to launch a counterattack. “

"The blow before the dying struggle is the most ferocious. This time the Knicks must hold on! ”

Coach Zhang is very clear as a bystander, and the players on the court at this time are also very clear, but what he does in person is a little undoable.

Watching and being in the middle of it, no matter what you do, feel very different. (To be continued......)
