The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

A 17-point defeat, the Knicks missed the chance to advance to the Finals at home, but even more disturbing to Knicks fans is that A. Smith's predictions are being realized one by one.

A. Smith once said that after Randolph was injured, the Knicks' inside line would be impacted, which would affect the entire team's offensive and defensive system. someone else.

What's more, even without Randolph, the Knicks still have David Lee as a potential stock on paper. Just looking at the data in the playoffs, the two are almost evenly matched. In some occasions, David Lee even performed better. It's not enough to mention him as the starter.

And the Knicks also have Harrington, the key figure in the Warriors' Black Eight, who also contributed 12.4 points last season. Isn't that more than enough to be a rotation player?

Although Randolph's absence will definitely affect the normal rotation of the Knicks, it is within an acceptable range.

But in fact, basketball games have never been a simple stacking of players, otherwise the Lakers in F4 would not have been beaten so miserably by five desperate heroes. More stars do not necessarily mean awesome. Sometimes a super awesome character is better than you. Three stars who seem to be inseparable from each other are much more useful.

Isn't that right, old driver Dirk.

In a word, suitability is the most important thing. A player whose strength you feel is not very good is invincible in a certain team. Knowing how to eat bread is the most important requirement for Paul.

It was the same for the Nets and Martin next to Kidd.

And Randolph is currently the most suitable inside partner for Zuo Li. When the two are added together, the effect of 1+1 is greater than 2.

To put it simply, Randolph is responsible for the inside melee, while Zuo Li is more mobile.

Randolph's seemingly bloated skin is full of strong muscles. Although he is not tall, he, like "Flying Pig" Barkley, likes to use the buttocks to attack with his back, and the left standing has also become a low position. Offensive, masters of close hand-to-hand combat, the two can be said to be able to advance, attack, retreat and defend in the paint.

At the same time, when Zuo Li pulls out to defend, Randolph can still guard the inside and use his huge weight to protect the frame, and the existence of Zuo Li also liberates Randolph, he will not encounter double-teams.

In addition, Zuo Li can also pull out pick-and-roll and support, and can also pass the ball. These two can even play Nene pick-and-roll, which is basically invisible in other teams in the league. Fuck, Bynum and Gasol can't play this.

As for how the Magic Knicks took the lead, that is, after the rotation, Randolph can resist Howard. Howard is at a disadvantage when encountering a stocky insider like Randolph, and Zuo Li can keep up with Turkoglu.

Well, now that Randolph is not here, David Lee and Harrington can't get tough when they meet Howard. Zuo Li can either fight Howard with peace of mind, or go out and restrict Turkoglu. In short, the two always have a defense Can't live.

This led to the ending of G5.

The Knicks suffered a disastrous defeat, and the scene was very disadvantaged. Except for Zuo Li who scored the highest score of 35 points in the game, Harrington and David Lee were all in single digits because they were restrained by Howard.

If it weren't for Keli's 24 points and Dragic's 17 points, maybe he would have lost more in this game.

So this game also made everyone realize that the current Knicks are not the Bulls of the past, and they are not a super team that allows you to be a general and win. The tilt of the balance.

This fiasco finally calmed Knicks fans.

However, at the same time, this game also allowed the Magic to find confidence.

after the game.

Howard, who played the best performance in these few games, said in high spirits: "Reversal, we only have this idea. G6 is also not the focus. We will strive to win when we return to the home court, and then come back here to win the tie-break!"

Van Gundy also said after the game: "I will tell everyone at the end of G5 that 3-1 is not the end of the world. We still have a chance. As long as we play our stuff, we can create miracles. Now it's all right. Let's go back to the home court. I think we'll still win."

And Howard did not forget to praise his brother Lewis: "Rashad performed very well tonight. He controlled the game and let us play our tactics."

Immediately, some fans sneered: "What tactic? The tactic of disabling the opponent's general, isn't it? It's not hot to push someone to win the Eastern Conference champion."

However, there has been talk in North America that the Knicks may be reversed 1-3. After all, the impact of the lack of Randolph in this game is still quite large.

This made the Knicks fans a little flustered. Indeed, this game made everyone see no hope of recovering or even winning. The third and fourth quarters were simply nightmares.

However, there are also fans who have always maintained their confidence, so what about 2-3, the next game is their end point~!

The Knicks have gradually found a sense after this disastrous defeat. D'Antoni put Harrington in the starting lineup and David Lee continued to substitute, so as not to reduce the strength of the second team. Boom against magic!

On May 5, the last day of this month, the Eastern Conference finals G31 will start again in Orlando.

This field is the focus of attention, and the Eastern Conference championship trophy has also come here. If the Knicks win, then they will win the Eastern Conference championship trophy after a lapse of ten years.

But the magic seems confident, although it is a bit immoral to think so, but Randolph's absence does give them a boost of confidence.

But at the beginning, it was the Knicks who took the lead.

Harrington, who played mediocre on the court, was put on the starting lineup. At the beginning, Zuo Li made a wall for him. Harrington, who entered the pick-and-roll, scored a layup first.

After that, Zuo Li attracted the defense and assisted Harrington to score 4 points in a row!

The pace of the game was very fast, and the Knicks deliberately increased the pace, using the impact of the left stand to kill the opponent.

整个第一节，左立送出4助攻，而哈林顿砍下了8分4篮板的出色数据，尼克斯也以29-24领先5分。

"The Knicks are playing well. It seems that they have found their form and are in place!" Director Zhang said happily.

"That's right! The Knicks' tempo has become faster, and they want to bombard them!" Yang Yi said on the sidelines.

In the first three quarters, the Knicks have been using fast breaks to make up for the lack of defense. Through everyone's good state, the Knicks still lead by 89 points 83-6 in the three quarters.

However, in the fourth quarter, the situation changed suddenly!

Magic Turkoglu and Lewis began to work hard, and the two teamed up to tie the score within 5 minutes. Then the two teams started a game, and the scores alternated leading until the two sides tied 1-106 in the last minute!

However, at the critical moment, Turkoglu stepped forward. He first steals Harrington's pass spiritually, and then assists Warcraft to complete the dunk!

108-106!

Then the Knicks' offense was destroyed by Turkoglu's defense, Howard took off the rebound, and Turkoglu made a final shot from the outside...

112-108, the Knicks lost another away game, and the big score was tied 3-3!
