Chapter 620 Defeating the Warriors!

The Knicks played a wave of 7:0 and directly stopped the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors' offense was too simple, and the Knicks took the opportunity to play a wave of counterattacks.

The first thing Kerr adjusted was the offense. He emphasized that the offense needs to pass the ball more, people need to run, and the constant passing and cutting tear the Knicks' defense.
