NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

On May 5th, a large group of people gathered in the living room of a certain villa in Chicago, and they all focused their attention on the huge TV in front of them. At this time, the TV was broadcasting the upcoming New York Knicks VS Indiana walk at Madison Square Garden in New York. The second game of the series.

The playoffs continued today with two games: Oklahoma City Thunder VS Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers.

Just now the second game of the Oklahoma City Thunder VS Los Angeles Lakers series has ended.

With Kevin Durant's quasi-lore, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 77:75, 2 points, leading the total score 2:0, and then the next game will be moved to the Staples Ball in Los Angeles museum in progress.

At the end of the game, Kobe did not go to the player tunnel immediately, but raised his head to look at the big screen on the ceiling of the arena, clenched his fists, and his face was full of unwillingness!
It's only two points away. If I were the same as me a few years ago, I would definitely be able to help the team turn the situation around.

In this game, Kobe made 25 of 9 shots and scored a team-high 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, but he still failed to help the team win the game, especially at the last moment. It ends here.

One after another, young people from the NBA poured in, bringing endless pressure to Kobe. Even though Kobe has won 5 championships now, he is still eager to win the championship again. Unfortunately, it seems that the championship is getting farther and farther away from him.
Shot back to Chicago.

This group of people is the members of the Chicago Bulls, they all gathered in Rose's villa, ready to watch the New York Knicks game together.

Rose clenched his fists and looked at Andrew on the TV, muttering in his heart: Andrew, you must not lose, we agreed to meet in the Eastern Conference finals, you can't break your promise.

Rose watched the first game of the New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers series, and clearly knew that the reason why the New York Knicks were able to beat the Indiana Pacers was a tactical surprise, which caught the Indiana Pacers by surprise.

At the same time, Rose also knows very well that it is impossible for the New York Knicks to use this trick a second time, and they will have to do it with real swords and guns in the future!

To be honest, even if the Chicago Bulls have Joakim Noah, the Carlos Boozer Twin Towers are very thankless against the Indiana Pacers Twin Towers. It can be said that the Indiana Pacers Twin Towers are among the best in the league.

So Rose was a little bit worried, and really just a little bit.

If Andrew knew what Rose was thinking, he would definitely hammer him, and then said: You are worried about the hammer, instead of worrying about me, you should take care of yourself. Don’t think that winning G1 is a sure win. The Miami Heat will not give up easily .

"Beep!" With the sound of the whistle, the game officially started.

The starting lineup of the New York Knicks changed again in this game, replacing Jimmy Butler with Jason Kidd, and Andrew mentioned the position of shooting guard.

Facing the "fat pork" sent by the New York Knicks, the Indiana Pacers decisively opened their mouths and bit down!

George Hill kept attacking Jason Kidd, and the effect was very significant.

Facing the young George Hill, Jason Kidd was very struggling, and from time to time his teammates were required to help him defend.

In this way, the Indiana Pacers have been ahead of the New York Knicks in George Hill's play.

But head coach Mike D'Antoni was very calm about this, as if he didn't see that Jason Kidd was infinitely targeted, he still put Jason Kidd on the court.

However, although Jason Kidd was blasted on the defensive end, the offensive end has injected a variety of offenses into the New York Knicks.

Many New York fans on the scene and in front of the TV complained: Why didn't Jason Kidd be replaced? Isn't this purely giving points?
But head coach Mike D'Antoni wanted this effect. Head coach Mike D'Antoni looked at the data sheet handed over by the assistant coach, and when he saw the column of George Hill, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Coach Mike D'Antoni knew very well that the tactics used in G1 could not be used for the second time. When their coaching staff was discussing the tactics of G2, the head coach Mike D'Antoni, the master tactician, had an idea and thought of an excellent tactic.

Everyone knows that the Indiana Pacers have an absolute advantage in the interior, so the Indiana Pacers' offense will definitely revolve around the interior, and Mike D'Antoni does the opposite. Don't you want to attack the interior?Then I deliberately exposed the gap on the outside line, so can you play?
As a result, the Indiana Pacers were really fooled. Almost all offensive points were initiated from George Hill, and George Hill's shots accounted for 60% of the team.

At the same time, head coach Mike D'Antoni also arranged for one point, that is, not to lose defensive rebounds. Except for Jason Kidd, the other four New York Knicks all went to protect defensive rebounds. ,

So the Indiana Pacers didn't grab a single offensive rebound in this game.

The leading situation numbs the Indiana Pacers. They all think that they have the absolute initiative in this game, but they don't know that they have fallen deeply into the trap of head coach Mike D'Antoni.

As the game progressed, George Hill's shooting percentage began to decline, and he distributed the ball to other teammates. As a result, the other teammates didn't feel at all because they hadn't shot for a long time.

The New York Knicks seized the opportunity, fought back and forth defensively, overtook the score in one fell swoop, and even widened the point difference by 8 points before halftime.

The New York Knicks entered the second half with an 8-point lead.

Back in the locker room, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers discovered the problem, and was so angry that the head coach of the Indiana Pacers kicked a T to the wall.

Hiss. The Pacers head coach nearly cried out in pain.

Immediately, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers quickly began to change his tactics, restore the previous offensive tactics, and try to hit the inside as much as possible.

It's too late!
In the second half, the Indiana Pacers' offense was given to the inside. When David West and Roy Hibbert received the ball, they immediately ushered in the double-team of the New York Knicks, and they chose to pass the ball to the inside. To the open Paul George or Danny Granger on the perimeter.

"Dang." They responded with the sound of iron strikes!

Indiana Pacers head coach: "."

In the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers not only failed to reduce the score, but were stretched bigger and bigger by the New York Knicks, and then nothing happened. In the end, the New York Knicks defeated the Indiana Pacers at home with 102:88 and 14 points, with a total score of 2:0 .

After the game, the New York Knicks players hugged Mike D'Antoni one after another, and even threw Mike D'Antoni into the air under Andrew's suggestion, scaring Mike D'Antoni half to death.

In the post-match interview, Andrew praised coach Mike D'Antoni and praised him as the league's tactical master. (end of this chapter)
