NBA super point guard

In this environment of public opinion, Anthony was inevitably sprayed.

The Knicks at home ushered in their next opponent, the Indiana Pacers.

Center Hibbert is very interesting, with nimble footwork, and is praised by many media as Dayao's successor. He is tall and has a soft touch.

Li Muhua looked at it carefully during the warm-up before the match, and thought it was quite interesting.

The leader of the Pacers is Granger, who has a clear record and is considered a strong team in the Eastern Conference.

Especially Granger said before the game that he must win this away game:

"The Knicks are playing at a high level. They have an unbeatable lineup offensively. We still have some flaws, but that's not why we lose. We have a lot of good players, at least in my opinion. The next game is not a big problem!"

Granger can be regarded as having a heart, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted the Pacers for so many years.

David West, Paul George, Hibbert and others all expressed their support for the team leader.

The visiting team is full of fighting spirit, and the home team naturally cannot lag behind. After Coach Woodson made a speech, the Knicks players also raised their fists to express their desire to give the Pacers a good look.

Seeing the state of the team, Li Muhua not only nodded secretly.

This is like a team, let alone whether it can win or not, only with high morale can there be hope.

On the 17th, the competition officially started, and the needle point was against the wheat.

The Pacers are strong at the forward position, Granger, West, George, Hibbert, and the point guard is Darren Collison.

Emphasis on inside defense, outside defense mainly rely on Paul George and Granger.

In the first round, Chandler won the ball.

The Knicks attacked, and after Li Muhua held the ball for halftime, Paul George defended.

Darren Collison's height is a bit different, and he is more suitable for defending shooting guards, so at the beginning, the Pacers let the second-year Paul George to defend the first position.

This defensive change allows Darren Collison to help defend within the three-point line.

As long as Li Muhua breaks through after the pick-and-roll, he will be double-teamed.

This time, Li Muhua didn't look for a cover and threw the ball to Chandler after gouging Paul George a few times with the ball.

Playing directly inside, the Knicks rarely play like this.

Anthony wanted to reach out for the ball, but when he saw Li Muhua's pass, he immediately withdrew his hand and started running.

Chandler hit Hibbert forcefully, Li Muhua slipped to the bottom line, Chandler made a pass, Li Muhua was double-teamed under the basket, and immediately transferred the ball to Anthony again.

Granger jumps up to block the shot, and Anthony turns around for a jumper.

"Shh!"

Anthony made an easy mid-range hit.

With this cooperation, Li Muhua took advantage of Xiao Kuailing's speed advantage to carry out various interspersed responses. After running, he tore through the Pacers' defense and passed the ball to an open teammate.

Chandler is just a cover, the real offensive ball is still in the hands of Anthony.

It has to be said that the Knicks rarely play this way, because this style of play virtually increases a lot of running and prolongs the offensive time.

After Anthony scored, Li Muhua and Anthony whispered as they retreated.

As the leader of the team, it is not easy to support the entire system. Just now the Pacers' defensive changes were quite intensive, and the offensive core would be double-teamed. Even Stoudemire was no exception and was blocked near the free throw line.

The Pacers' offense is average, but their defense is really good.

If the Knicks blindly play singles, they will face a rather passive situation.

The Pacers attack.

Granger hit Anthony with the ball, but he couldn't find a suitable space after two turns, so he simply passed it to Paul George.

Paul George forced Landry and hit a jumper near the basket.

There is no cooperation, basically relying on the ability of the players to play singles.

It looks inconspicuous, but this is the biggest advantage of the Pacers. Using the physical talents of the two strikers to attack in the middle distance, they can also pull to the outside. There are not many teams in the league who dare to play like this.

In the past, D'Antoni would definitely let the players fight back.

Isn't it just singles, we will too.

That's how offensive coaches play, offense against offense.

But now the Knicks are different.

Coach Woodson has been emphasizing defense, and the offense has the core on the field, so there is no need to worry about it.

The Knicks attacked, Li Muhua gestured to his teammates, Stoudemire moved to the high post, quickly attracted the defense, Li Muhua broke through directly, Paul George used his body to block, Li Muhua passed the ball backwards, and Landry held the ball on the outside.

Now it's embarrassing.

Landry is an all-rounder on the team, but the jack-of-all-trades often can't do anything. If you count on him to shoot three-pointers to open up space, let's go to sleep.

In the unmarked situation, Landry had no choice but to make a shot, and the crisp sound of hammering iron resounded through the audience.

The Knicks' bench lineup is relatively stable, and Landry's half-bottle of water is not suitable anywhere, so he can only start in the main lineup. As for other things, the coaches and teammates don't think too much.

Landry paddling on the court is the norm.

If there is no other way, Li Muhua really doesn't want to pass the ball.

The problem is that there is only one vacant seat, and if he doesn't pass it on, everyone will be blamed.

Granger grabbed the rebound and brought the ball to the frontcourt himself.

Obviously there is a fast break opportunity, but the Pacers are quite stable. I don't know if it is due to maturity or tactical needs.Granger has a good shooting range, but only one flaw in ball control, the rest are at the top level of the league.

This is the biggest advantage of the Pacers. The boss is the defensive core, which drives the defensive enthusiasm of other players.

Some people say that the boss of the team represents the temperament of the team, which is not bad.

On the one hand, the boss of the team can spur other players, on the other hand, Granger's offense really can't assist, mainly relying on other players to feed the cake.

Granger's speed is fast, but it's useless. Once he holds the ball, he is confused and is directly entangled by Anthony.

West came up to respond and hit a short-range jumper under the basket.

The Knicks were attacking, and Li Muhua passed Paul George on the outside, and went directly to the basket. When Hibbert defended, he stepped up and picked the basket.

Paul George gets blocked by Chandler.

The two sides fell into a tug of war.

Li Muhua wanted to play fast, but Anthony shook his head. The Pacers may not have a strong lineup, but they happen to be the type to restrain the Knicks.

The Pacers slowed down the pace again.

Li Muhua had no choice but to reach out his hand to signal Woodson, and quickly asked for a timeout.

The Knicks' offense is very strong, but when encountering a shrinking defensive line, they generally rely on the outside to play, but the Pacers' outside line has no obvious defects, and all defensive players are on the spot.

Once a player enters the Pacers' defensive zone, he will be double-teamed immediately.

This way of scoring is quite tiring.
