This dullness and depression made the Knicks' offensive defense even more sloppy, Dragic came up and forced a breakthrough on the left, but was blocked outside, he was almost stealed, and finally passed the ball out after the worst.

But Rose took the ball and Dragic's style of play was almost the same, and he also plunged headlong into the Pacers' basket, but he didn't have Dragic's luck and was stealed by the Pacers.

The basketball fell to the ground, and at this time, thanks to Monroe, he pounced and pointed the basketball to Li Feng's side.

Li Feng had little time to get the ball at the top of the arc, Li Feng could only come up and dribble one step, shake the ball, and cheat a foul on the free throw line.

Li Feng hit one of two free throws at the free throw line, although he scored the Knicks, but the Knicks' style of play still did not get up. was still crushed by the pacers, and now Li Feng is scoring, and there is also a lot of luck.

Sure enough, the Pacers turned around and Paul George scored two more points with a long-range shot at the top of the arc through cover.

The current situation is that the Knicks are desperate to score 2 points, but the Pacers' momentum is unabated.

Although the Pacers' scoring is not fast, they do score continuously and continuously, and this gap is manifested in the fact that the Knicks are slightly stuck and the Pacers pull away a little score. A little bit of the difference gets bigger and bigger.

In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, Li Feng was also replaced, and both the Pacers and the Knicks began to come off the bench.

At this time, the Knicks' weakness is more obvious, you must know that the Pacers are the Big Three, he can let three people take turns on the court, and each of these three people has the ability to lead the team independently in the past.

So when it came to the bench period, the Pacers were even more aggressive, and Paul George led the team in an orderly manner.

The Knicks' bench players came up, and they were nothing but a little tougher. So. End of Section 1. The Pacers took a nine-point lead over the Knicks at 31-22.

The 9-point difference is not small, but what is even more uncomfortable is that in the first quarter, the Knicks did nothing to do with the Pacers from beginning to end. can't stop the Pacers' offense, and they can't play their own characteristics, and the biggest problem is that they are comprehensively suppressed in form.

At the end of the first quarter, Joanbari said the finishing touch:

"From the first quarter, the Knicks and Pacers are teams on two levels, not like a league leader at all."

Now the pressure on Tyberdeau, and the entire Knicks, is so great that they can barely breathe.

If the game continues to play like this, the Knicks' morale will be lost first. So the first verse ends. Taberdu seized the opportunity and yelled at his teammates.

"Playing our character, in the second quarter we had to get more running, whether it was half court or the whole court, we had to run, and we couldn't stop the Pacers. We have to run, we have to strengthen the intensity of the offensive and defensive ends, we have to run, we have to have hand-to-hand combat, we have to be full of confrontation, so that we can have a chance. ”

Tyberdu's hiss roared with exhaustion. Emphasize your understanding of tactics and ask your players to play energy basketball and physical basketball.

Now the Knicks have only one way to go, in other ways. The Knicks had no advantage against the Pacers.

The Knicks are now stronger than the Pacers only physically, and that's all.

At the beginning, Tyberdu directly sent Li Feng to the court first, and at this time, the five people on the Knicks' court were point guard Livingston. Shooting guard J.R. Smith, small forward Li Feng, power forward Vucevichson. Center Diop five people. The Knicks' current lineup can be said to be a purely small lineup, but it is just right to play energy basketball.

When he arrived on the court, Livingston immediately handed over the ball to Li Feng, who had no intention of organizing the ball at this time.

Gerard Greens, who was strong against the opponent in the first moment of getting the basketball, forced a breakthrough of two steps, and Li Feng forced a breakthrough.

The Pacers' defense immediately pounced on Li Feng and gave Li Feng a big pocket, in which Li Feng barely passed the basketball to Diop's hands.

This Li Feng ran out empty-handed, Li Feng walked out empty-handed, and Diop passed the ball to Li Feng again.

Li Feng took the ball this time and rushed towards the Pacers' half, this time Li Feng walked the bottom line, dribbling directly from the baseline to make the Pacers' half a cross.

As a result, no matter how solid the Pacers' defense was, it was messed up, and Li Feng passed the ball to J.R. Smith.

As soon as Smith raised his hand with the ball, Paul George saved, and immediately made a foul on Paul George, and it was a three-point foul, and J.R. Smith was standing outside the three-point line.

Li Feng arrived on the court and was completely faithful to Tyberdu's arrangement, and finally created opportunities for the team. At this time, Tyberdu was very happy, and he immediately went to the sideline and shouted:

"All move, like Li Feng moves! Everyone was running. ”

Tyberdu yelled from the sidelines, J.R. Smith hit all three free throws from the free-throw line, and the Knicks' morale finally returned.

The Knicks scored points, and when they turned around, the Pacers took the ball and wanted to beat their rhythm without hurrying, but Li Feng came up and switched defenses with J.R. Smith. Li Feng came up and personally defended Paul George.

In the Knicks' bench period, it was Paul George who led the team to control the operation of the entire team with the ball.

Now that Li Feng came up to get Paul George's ball, the Pacers' offense suddenly lost its rules.

Gerard Green came up and hit a ball indiscriminately, and Gerard Green is the kind of typical outside line with very good physical fitness and rough skills.

He has good physical fitness, and the Knicks' players are not bad in physical fitness, so Gerard Green gives the Knicks a chance once he plays randomly.

He missed, Diop took the ball, and the Knicks immediately counterattacked.

The Knicks were originally a team with good physical fitness, fast running and strong offense, and now the coach is emphasizing energy basketball.

Suddenly, the Knicks' fast break ran like the Mustangs, and the five men reached the Pacers' half, and the basketball was immediately transferred to Li Feng's hands. Now Li Feng has completely clarified his core position.

When the basketball arrived, Li Feng took a step forward to dribble, this step looked very fierce, and the Pacers players subconsciously shrank.

At this moment, Li Feng suddenly made a pass from behind. The basketball went to J.R. Smith, who was following up.

Smith took the ball and jumped straight out of his hand and hit a three-point shot.

The Knicks and the Pacers still have a 9-point difference, and now it is only one minute into the second quarter, Li Feng disrupted the Pacers' defense twice, passed the ball twice, and caught up with 6 points at once.

In this way, the score becomes 31-28, and the difference is only 3 points.

The Knicks opened the court with Li Feng, and it really gave the Pacers a general. Li Feng came up, and his personal ability was strong enough. One man disrupted the Pacers' defense and chased the score. At this point, Pacers coach Vogel had a headache.

Now that the second quarter has just begun, you can't get on the main team? The physical exertion of the team on the main force is relatively large, and if you don't go to the main force, you will see that the score will catch up. At this time, Vogel had no choice but to let Hibbert prepare on the sidelines.

Hibbert doesn't help much for the offense, but with him under the basket, he can basically hold the defense under the basket.

At this time, the Pacers advanced to attack in the half, and the Knicks suddenly made a mistake, and Smith defended it inside for three seconds.

Vogel hurriedly took this opportunity to replace Hibbert and replaced it with Hibbert Pacers to restart the half-court off-court offense.

Because Paul George was contained by Li Feng, the Pacers could only transmit the ball to the weak side, and Hansblu, who got the basketball on the weak side, rushed in with the ball and wanted to hit the basket strongly. But he was too purposeful.

It was a complete death fight, Li Feng saw this opportunity, and immediately drew over to see his opportunity to jump, and a big hat fanned Hansbro's ball from the air.

Hansbru dropped the ball. Smith, who was behind him, quickly picked up the rebound and quickly passed it to Livingston on the side.

Now the Knicks are playing fast, so immediately the Knicks turned around and rushed towards the Pacers' halfcourt.

Vogel, who was watching the game from the sidelines, suddenly jumped up when he saw this situation, and letting the Knicks play his rhythm was something Vogel didn't want to see. But by this time he was too late to jump.

Livingston advanced quickly. In the Pacers' half, he immediately passed the ball to J.R. Smith, who was watched, and he passed directly to Li Feng, who ran over to the right sideline.

Li Feng catches the ball while running. got up and made a jump shot, and the basketball shot simply fell into the Pacers' basket.

The Knicks are two more points 29-31, leaving a two-point difference. At this time, although Vogel was unwilling, although he felt uncomfortable, he called a timeout. Then he was replaced by David West and George Hill, replaced Paul George, and Granger was also pressed to the bench by him.

The Pacers were forced by Li Feng to make an early substitution! Vogel's substitution of George Hill and David West is also very particular.

George Hill controls the tempo, and he comes up with the team and doesn't mess up. David West controls the interior, and he comes up to defend and is guaranteed. The two of them played with substitutes and were able to stabilize their positions.

I have to say that Vogel's coaching level is still adequate, and the Pacers have now changed to the main team and have just returned to the court. The Pacers played the most stable offensive means, allowing David West to go directly to the restricted area to play a back-to-back attack.

The Knicks' main Monroe can't prevent David West, not to mention the current substitute, David West won the ball in the restricted area, turned around and shot very easily, and simply scored two points.

At the beginning, the Pacers finally started to score.

The Pacers are obviously starting to get serious now, but after this round, J.R. Smith actually hit his teammate's foot when he hit the ground pass, and J.R. Smith made a mistake after playing happily again.

He made a mistake on his side, and the Pacers immediately drove off the sideline and quickly pushed over, playing another trick on the run as a Pacers.

George Hill took the ball outside the three-point line, and all three Pacers players pushed to the baseline at once, allowing the Knicks to focus their attention on the baseline. At this time, David West, who was dragging behind, followed up to the Knicks' three-point line from behind, George Hill quickly crossed, David West had no one in front of the ball, and the shot was a mid-range re-shot.

The Pacers don't have any complicated tricks, but you can get caught by accident. It's wronged, but there's nothing it can do.

As a result, David West scored 4 points in a row, and the difference was widening again.

At this point, Tyberdu stood up. When I was hesitating in my mind to change to the main force.

The Knicks made another mistake, and under the high-intensity defense of the Pacers, when Livingston walked the baseline to break through the return pass, the pass was too low all of a sudden.

Li Feng bent down and didn't receive the ball, and the ball was grabbed by the Pacers again.

The Pacers are the main force, not only more cunning and stable on the offensive end, but also more perfect on the defensive end, forcing the Knicks to make mistakes again and again.

The Knicks made a mistake now, and the Pacers immediately grabbed the Knicks' cover door and hit it to death, pushing the Pacers again to hit David West.

This time, Li Feng couldn't see it. hurriedly went up to wrap the clip, but as soon as Li Feng stretched out his hand, David West immediately screamed and threw the ball.

In this way, Li Feng's bag not only did not have an effect, but instead gave David West two free throws, and Li Feng was depressed this time. David West, however, howled at the sky and hit both free throws from the free throw line.

The more David West killed people, the more excited he became. By now, he's become a point that the Knicks can't control completely. It is also the one with the most points.

At this time, Tyberdu hurriedly took advantage of this free throw to replace Cousins and Monroe.

Although these two men can't completely contain David West, they are much more effective than this dry bench.

The Knicks' workhorse is back. But when it came to the Pacers' half, they played a special hesitation.

Because the Knicks made two mistakes in a row before, so at this time, in order to be safe, he hesitated to play. Hesitation and slow basketball are not characteristics of the Knicks, and playing like this can only make the Knicks worse.

The Knicks are a young team. After such hesitation and hesitation, he didn't have a chance to play after the most luke, and he missed the shot.

The Pacers play old and spicy and have a steady mentality. 76 Under this pressure, we began to suffer from gains and losses. Mentally, the Knicks' side began to waver, and Tyberdu didn't notice this at this time, instead he yelled on the sidelines. Once David West gets the ball inside, be sure to wrap David West.

Tyberdeau saw David West's three successful scores, but he didn't see the Knicks' own mentality.

The Pacers came over again, George Hill still hung to David West on the inside, and at this time, the Knicks players went to the basket to hit David West according to Tyberdeau's request, but David West threw the basketball out directly, and DJ Augustin shot directly outside the three-point line.

The Pacers played an inside-outside combination, DJ Augustin from the three-point range felt steady, and the basketball smashed steadily into the Knicks' basket.

All of a sudden, the score difference quickly widened from the original one point to 8 points. This blow to the Knicks was too big.

This is equivalent to the fact that the Pacers can open the score when they are on the main force, and they are irresistible at all.

The Knicks are mentally unstable, and their play is inconsistent, so they come to play the Pacers' half. Li Feng took the ball and Cousins as a cover, and before Li Feng controlled the ball, he saw that the Pacers completely let go of Cousins' defense and used two people to wrap themselves. This is to grasp the weakness of Cousins's lack of offensive ability, and use all his defensive ability on himself.

Li Feng was sandwiched by a double bag and finally passed the ball from the bottom line to Rose's hands, but he didn't expect Rose to butter his hands at this critical moment.

He has too much time to rest, and he hasn't fully adapted to it! All of a sudden, he snatched the basketball with his buttery hand and David West's long monster-like arms, and then immediately passed it to George Hill.

George Hill took the ball and launched a fast break, and all of a sudden, the Pacers' fast break came out again.

Li Feng turned around to chase George Hill, but George Hill made a clever pass from behind, and the basketball went to Gerard Green, who was moving on the other side.

Granger was in good health and took the ball with a violent dunk, smashing the basketball into the Knicks' basket at once.

This time, it is simply worse. The return of the Pacers' main team suddenly stretched the margin to 10 points.

At this point, if Taberdu could still sit still, he wouldn't be Taberdu. The team fell behind in the field, and Tyberdu immediately called a timeout.

Joan Barry in the commentary seat also sighed:

"The Knicks' performance today is really not on the same level as the Pacers."

"At the beginning of the second quarter, David West's offense made the Knicks helpless, and the Knicks made frequent mistakes. How does this make the Pacers not win? ”

Magic Johnson also said on the side: "It looks like this year's Eastern Pacers will go far in the playoffs." Although the Knicks are strong, they are too immature in front of the Pacers. ”

On ESPN's broadcast, two commentators unanimously said that the Knicks are inferior to the Pacers, and this time is the domestic side. In the broadcast room of the ccav, Mr. Xu Jicheng also said in his hoarse voice:

"Today, Li Feng has done his best. But no matter how strong he is, he can't beat the entire team of the Pacers. In the face of the Pacers' perfect system, Li Feng is helpless, and the Knicks are helpless. ”

Only in the second quarter of the game, the Pacers comprehensively suppressed the Knicks, and it was still the simple state of suppressing if they wanted to suppress and how they wanted to play.

At this time, it is inevitable that everyone thinks that the Knicks are inferior to the Pacers, and the two teams are on two levels.

At this time, maybe many Knicks players also have this idea in their hearts, everyone can back down, but Tyberdu can't.

Taberdu called a timeout, rearranged the defense, rearranged the offense. Defensively, his instructions were to be more aggressive and pressing, forcing the Pacers to make mistakes. On offense, his instructions were much simpler, and he said to fight more resolutely. In fact, the Knicks' offensive strategy has always been very simple, he Tyberdu wants to play whatever tricks, and the team doesn't have that many cards.

The Knicks' offensive players are still too monotonous in structure, with an almost uniform body flow player, a lack of low-post attackers, and a lack of strategic shooters, a combination that makes Tyberdeau have no cards to change his offensive strategy. (To be continued......)
