NBA super point guard

The team's best performer was Lin Shuhao, and the others were completely restricted, including backup center Josh Harrison.

Li Muhua was a little dizzy and couldn't figure out what Popovich was doing.

It is said that there is nothing wrong with putting one player alone for the sake of the overall situation, but Lin Shuhao's scoring ability is not bad.

"It's not right. LIN's ability is very strong. As long as he has the ball, he can basically convert it into points. What is Popovich thinking? Does he not mind losing? I don't understand!"

Anthony also scratched his head and couldn't help complaining to Li Muhua.

If Popovich gave up this game, but the GDP is all there, and the tactics are dominated by Tony Parker, this is confusing.

Even Leonard, the only rookie for the Spurs, didn't play much time.

Obviously not to train newcomers.

After Anthony finished speaking, Li Muhua nodded seriously.

For tactical planning, there is no need to ask D'Antoni. This guy has been thinking about life on the sidelines. It's not that he didn't think about it, but he couldn't figure out what Popovich wanted to do.

Li Muhua was completely convinced by this point, besides being the main force, can De Shuai do some serious things.

D'Antoni has nothing to say tactically, and he doesn't think about what the opponent's coach thinks. Instead, he thinks about how to play offensively and play more beautifully. will this.

The coaching staff can't put forward any constructive suggestions, and it really doesn't matter whether the Knicks have a coach.

Seeing Anthony's face full of haha, Li Muhua shook his head:

"Cameron, I think let's do it ourselves. Your side has been restricted. That Leonard's defense is really good. As long as you get serious, I don't think it's a big problem. I'll seek some cover and try to take more shots. Let's see if we can open up the situation!"

Anthony knew that Li Muhua hadn't finished speaking, so he motioned for him to continue.

Li Muhua pointed Novak:
"Stephen can open up the space, no matter whether he can make a shot or not, at least he can involve a certain amount of defense. His screen may find us more opportunities!"

Anthony naturally has no objection, and the rest is to communicate with D'Antoni. After all, the players do not have the right to decide who will play. Although the German coach has become a decoration, due to the basic management constraints of the team, Anthony must explain.

After a few words in a hurry, Anthony turned around and returned to Li Muhua's side: "No problem!"

In the second quarter, Lin Shuhao went off, Li Muhua and Novak came on at the same time, and Anthony, Stoudemire and Harrison were still on the front line.

Big Pyrenees Harrison is good at offense and doesn't expect much from defense. He moves slowly and has a slow reaction. Unlike D'Antoni's favorite Xiao Kuailing, after Harrison came to the Knicks, he was naturally unpopular.

Had it not been for Chandler's rotation due to injury, I am afraid Harrison would not even have a chance to play.

At first glance, the Knicks seem to have given up on the game by playing Novak at the two, which equals a defenseless team.

Li Muhua's single defense ability is poor, and everyone else has their own shortcomings.

The Knicks never practice defense.

"Steve, the team needs you to stand up now, do you understand what I mean?" Before playing, Li Muhua whispered to Novak.

Novak looked confused, obviously not knowing what Li Muhua wanted to express so solemnly.

No way, Novak is just a role player, and the team has no shortage of three-point shooters, so the role is a bit too single, and is looked down upon by teammates, let alone other teams.

"I need you to do a good job of transferring the ball, instead of playing by yourself. Understand, don't just think about the basket. You just need to do a little bit on the court and open up enough space. Can you do it?"

Li Muhua said so sternly rarely.

Novak always has a hippie smile on his face. If you are not serious, you will think you are joking with him.

After returning to the field, Li Muhua held the ball.

The game resumed after a mid-section break.

Li Muhua made up his mind and quickly entered the frontcourt after holding the ball, intending to use his teammates' cover and fast break advantages to chase points.

The Knicks attack.

Novak began to run position, and Stoudemire came to the high position to make a screen.

Li Muhua asked Parker's entanglement and threw the ball to the outside in the middle distance. Leonard had already restrained Anthony, and it was obviously inappropriate to pass it to the team leader at this time.

Novak receives the ball on the wing and Ginobili is on the defensive.

Just when Li Muhua returned to the top of the arc, Novak passed the ball.

Without giving Parker time to react, Li Muhua caught the ball and directly pulled it out.

"Shh!"

With one arrow to the heart, a three-pointer was hit.

The Spurs attacked, Parker didn't hold the ball and handed it to Ginobili after halftime, Ginobili passed Novak, met Stoudemire's help defense in the middle distance, and passed it to Jefferson.

Turning around for a jumper, Jefferson shot almost open and hit it easily.

Once participating in defense or complementing, the Knicks will miss people.

Chandler's absence is tantamount to adding insult to injury.

Although the game lasted only a few hours, it is not difficult to see the state of the players from the game. The Knicks, who were already weaker than the defense, were at a disadvantage. The Spurs played very steadily, and their offensive efficiency was not slow. They were experienced and calm. , will always be the core philosophy of the Spurs.

Offensively, the Spurs played equally easily.

After Stoudemire served the ball, Li Muhua gave a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.

In the defense just now, Stoudemire has tried his best.

The Knicks attacked, and Li Muhua directly passed a long pass to Anthony.

Leonard quickly went up to entangle, and after Anthony made a three-threat move, he almost stagnated for more than a second before turning around and hitting back.

According to habit, Anthony's ball is likely to be a jumper.

What Li Muhua knew, the Spurs naturally knew, and Leonard had personally interfered.

At this time, Stoudemire suddenly ran back into the inside line, Anthony hit the ground and passed the ball, and Stoudemire dunked directly after receiving the ball in an air cut.

Jefferson didn't have time to turn around and interfere.

Fortunately, Duncan rested off the court, otherwise Stoudemire's ball would definitely be a mistake.

The Spurs attacked and Parker made a three-pointer directly.

Li Muhua didn't stick the ball, and passed it to Novak again. I have to say, this guy is a curse, fast break belongs to fast break, you should find an opportunity to shoot again.

Facing Ginobili, he wanted to go in so easily. Is it because Novak is drifting away, or he thinks that Ginobili's hair is falling too little.

It can only be said that Novak owes a little.

Back then, Novak was often bullied by Tony Douglas. It was not unreasonable. He had a good three-pointer and could hit about [-]% of the open shots. This kind of pitcher is already rare in the league, but his performance is extremely unstable.

Similar to JR Smith, his hit rate is good and bad, but he is not so nervous. If it is not for his poor physical fitness, he probably thought about taking the ball early.
