Chapter 376 Comprehensive suppression!

Even if Nowitzki passes the ball successfully, with the footsteps of Thompson, Gatsby and Leonard, they can also make supplementary defenses and interferences. In this way, the Mavericks' ball transmission slowed down.

Carlisle quickly called a timeout adjustment, increased the distance between the personnel, increased off-ball running and air cuts, and then reorganized the offense.

第一节结束，尼克斯领先了6分，双方比分32:38，盖慈比拿到8分5助攻2篮板，汤普森得到了9分2篮板，伦纳德3抢断4个篮板。

In the second quarter, the Knicks played Jeremy Lin, Wilson Chandler, Carmelo Anthony, Danilo Gallinari and Scola, and the Mavericks played Jason Terry, Stevenson, Haywood, Carter and Marion.

After last season's training, Jeremy Lin's strength has also greatly increased. In Gatsby's eyes, Jeremy Lin can definitely become the core of a weak team.

Jeremy Lin sorted out the offense as the outside core, Wilson Chandler moved without the ball and opened up space with the three-point corner, Gallinari opened up the space with the bottom corner to catch the ball and shoot at any time, Scola sank to the low post, Anthony was Connecting the inside and outside, as the core of conducting the ball, this rotation lineup unexpectedly showed a strong offensive!
Scola's singles defense in the low post is very difficult to defend. His footsteps are weird, and he can always find space to shoot when he turns left and right. A flank, a cut or an open catch is a [-]-pointer.

This is only when playing position, and it is even more unrestrained when playing fast break. Whether it is Jeremy Lin or Anthony, or even Gallinari and Chandler, as long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely pull up and shoot for three-pointers without hesitation. , This is the characteristic of Coach D'Antoni's coaching - not afraid of your vote, but afraid of your hesitation!

The Mavericks had a rotation lineup of Carter, Marion, and Terry, but they couldn't withstand the Knicks' offense. In half a quarter, the score was opened again. When Gatsby and other starters returned to the field, the score was opened. To 10 points!
Jeff Van Gundy sneered: "Those people said that after the Knicks lost Kevin Martin, Chandler and Billups one after another, they said with certainty that the Knicks' strength in the new season will plummet, but it doesn't look like that now. thing.

The two rookies are excellent defensively. Thompson's three-pointer is of great help to the Knicks.

Leonard's defense made me feel refreshed. For such a young man, there is nothing wrong with letting him start. Although his offense is poor, he can definitely bring great help to the team in defense.

The departure of Billups gave Jamelin a chance. I think the Knicks did not give Billups a bigger contract because they wanted to give Jamelin more opportunities. From this section, this young man has already He has grown up, and he has the shadow of Gatsby in his body. He has the essence of Gatsby in handling the ball and calmness.

The current Knicks may be slightly weaker than before, because there are too many young people. Except for O'Neal, Scola, Anthony and Stoudemire, the others are basically young people. This team is really young! "

Mike Breen said with a smile: "After the tempering of the regular season, I think the strength of the Knicks will continue to grow. Gatsby is very good at motivating young people. Look at Jeremy Lin and Stephenson. Under his guidance, basically Both of them can be independent, Leonard and Thompson have greater potential, and may achieve greater achievements.

The Knicks' trade this summer has proven to be worthwhile. On the one hand, they freed up salary space, and on the other hand, they filled the team with fresh blood. Once the young people grow up, the Knicks will be even stronger.

As for whether it can continue to be a championship team, it is a matter of opinion. The departure of a veteran does have an impact on the strength of the team. The veteran is the guarantee of stable performance in the playoffs. The rookie must perform well in the playoffs. It's not that simple, it depends on them training more in the regular season. "

The Mavericks started back and wanted to get back the score, but Gatsby was in control of the rhythm. Not only did the Mavericks not close the score, but the Knicks further opened the score. At the end of the first half, the point difference was pulled Open until 16 minutes!
After entering the second half, the Mavericks set off several counterattack climaxes, but the Knicks steadily controlled the situation. No matter what waves the Mavericks caused, the Knicks were always able to regain control of the situation.

Although Thompson and Leonard did not score many points, their performance made Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Brin quite admirable, because the defensive skills and composure shown by Thompson and Leonard surprised them very much.

The state shown by the Knicks is not comparable to that of the Mavericks. The players of the Mavericks have not trained seriously since the finals in June, and the Knicks have already started to recover under the organization of Gatsby. Training, accumulating energy for the new season, compared with the two, the Knicks are of course much better.

The final result was that the Knicks beat the Mavericks at home, which shocked many experts, because the strength of the Mavericks needs to be improved a lot on paper. Not only did they join Chandler, but also Carter and others. The Knicks, who lost their main players such as Chandler, Billups and Kevin Martin, were suppressed from the beginning to the end!

Coach D'Antoni revealed the truth after the game:

"The strength of the Mavericks has improved a lot compared to last season. They made up for the lack of insiders and supplemented the strength of the strikers. They lost to us because their state was a little worse than ours. Although we have more rookies, our core lineup is still there. Our The system is very inclusive, and newcomers can bring out their characteristics after they integrate in.

Rather than saying that our players are strong, it is better to say that we have a strong system. As long as this system is still in place, the Knicks can maintain a strong competitiveness! "

D'Antoni's words made experts think deeply. D'Antoni's words are indeed true. The Spurs have established a system for so many years. Other teams are strong when they have strong players. Once the players get old or leave, the team Immediately it will decline.

But D'Antoni's words are a little watery. The Knicks' system is certainly strong, but without such strong players as Gatsby and Anthony, the system... the system also depends on the players!
Even the San Antonio Spurs have relied on GDP to be able to dominate for so many years. Without them, the Spurs would not be able to reach the pinnacle without a system!
These can only be said to be clichés for NBA reporters. On the contrary, Thompson, who participated in the press conference for the first time, was interviewed more interesting.

"What kind of player do you want to be? ... Probably like Gatsby. He is handsome, speaks well, and is super gentle. Maybe I should learn from him how to shoot three-pointers." - Klay Thompson .
