Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

Suddenly, the Knicks' offensive rhythm quickened.

This made Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai Station with his hands on his chest, also sat up straight.

It seemed that the Knicks responded quickly, and Bai Feng's on-the-spot ability seemed far beyond his expectations.

Why do you think the Mavericks could lead the Knicks by 20 at halftime?

That's because Coach Carlisle made a targeted arrangement for this game.

He was already working on the Knicks when the entire league was debating who could end the Knicks' winning streak.

At that time, Carlisle even had a hunch that the Lakers might lose to the Knicks, because he also studied the Lakers carefully and found the Achilles heel of the Lakers.

In this way, the coach, who has a great interest in tactical research, and is not even as crazy as old Nelson, began to study the Knicks well, and made countermeasures.

For him, this is just a tactical experiment, and the outcome will not affect the final ranking of the Mavericks in the regular season.

The two teams in the two halves are even more unlikely to meet in the playoffs.

Obviously, in this first half tonight, they had a huge success.

A 20-point halftime lead!

From the use of single man-marking, to double-teaming, and then to zone defense, the Mavericks' defensive strategy has changed again and again, which makes the Knicks' simple and rude superstar play completely unsuitable.

You know, what a star is most afraid of is the defensive strategy of the opponent's changing.

On the offensive end, Carlisle is specifically looking for the Knicks' weak bench to play.

It can be said that such a formation has achieved the ultimate goal.

Later, Carlisle discovered that it seemed that it was easy to target a team like the Knicks. He just seized the opponent's weakness without bench depth and fought to the death. Isn't that what?

At halftime, Carlisle also felt that he would strike too hard and play a little looser in the second half.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second half, the opponent quickly responded!

Carlisle certainly knows where the Mavs' weakness lies.

That's right, the overall age of their team is too old, and the overall movement speed is not fast. Except for players like Marion and Terry who have a good movement speed, the other players' movement ability is not good.

It does seem overwhelming to meet those teams that are playing, running and bombing.

However, how can Carlisle, who has been studying a lot of tactical manuals every day in his coaching career, not have a way to deal with it?

The whole league knows they are slow, so how can he not think about how to solve this shortcoming?

There are methods, of course, but they are certainly not used today.

To put it bluntly, it is a secret weapon that can only be used at a critical moment.

And tonight is just a regular season, there is no big problem of winning or losing. Anyway, Carlisle's goal has been achieved, so next, it is up to the players to play freely.

The situation on the field has changed dramatically.

The Knicks are playing fast, starting with Bai Feng!

Then, JR Smith, Stoudemire also joined them.

As soon as the Knicks get a player, they start charging, splitting up into three lanes, going side by side with the left, center, and right.

Bai Feng is no longer fighting alone. He can always pass all kinds of beautiful passes in the process, and find his teammates accurately and score points.

For a time, the atmosphere of the home court was once again played.

The difference was gradually narrowed by the Knicks. After five minutes of play, the difference was only 10 points!

Chasing ten goals in five minutes, this kind of efficiency is quite good.

Playing like this, it only takes one game to close the 20-point difference.

The fans at the scene were already excited.

"Just hit them like this, yes, just hit them like this, run them to death 々#!"

"Bai Feng is really versatile. I used to think he could only play positions, but I didn't expect this fast break to be just as sharp!"

"Hahaha, now Bai Feng really looks like a peak Nash, especially when he cooperated with Xiao Si's fast break, it's exactly the same."

"The Knicks have given me more and more surprises, and I really look forward to what it will be like in the future!"

The momentum has risen, and the situation has improved.

However, just when Bai Feng and his teammates thought that they would continue to chase points with this fast pace, they came.

The Mavericks failed to attack, and the Knicks ran a counterattack again. Bai Feng took the lead, and Anthony played the ball directly after he got the ball.

However, his pass was intercepted by Marion.

Since all the Knicks were involved in the fast break, there was no one to defend the basket. Marion made such a comeback, the penalty area was completely exposed, and 2 points were easily lost.

Mistake!

Although Anthony, who made a mistake in passing, blamed himself, what Bai Feng was worried about happened!

Faster, more prone to mistakes!

To a certain extent, this is a "truth", and you have no way to change it, let alone ignore it.

Yes, fast, can really break the game.

Otherwise, the Dragon Kingdom would not have the old saying: "The martial arts in the world are only fast and not broken".

This speaks of the sharpness of being fast, but at the same time, the faster you are, the more you will fight, and the less stable you will be.

This round just now is the best proof, because after Anthony gets the ball, he just wants to pass the ball to his teammates who are running in the frontcourt as soon as possible, but ignores Marion who may form a steal around him.

The other Knicks teammates were thinking about fast follow-up, but also ignored the possibility of being counter-robbed, which led to the fact that after the counter-robbing really happened, the Knicks' basket defense was extremely empty.

"Fast" and "steady" are sometimes contradictory.

Although this mistake was not directly related to Bai Feng, he was not judged unreasonable because of the team's mistake.

But as the team's point guard, Bai Feng is very clear that he is actually responsible.

The fast pace was brought up by him, although from the current point of view, this fast pace brought them positive benefits.

But in the many attacks, many of Bai Feng's choices are full of the possibility of mistakes. Compared with the past, they are much less stable.

As long as the opponent is targeting, or the concentration of one's own team is reduced, the number of mistakes will be much more than now.

However, now Bai Feng has no time to think about this issue, the team is still behind, and he still has to chase points with his teammates.

Bai Feng did not stop his new attempts to "fast" because of one mistake.

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, even if the mistake happened to you, it doesn't matter.

More or two mistakes, three mistakes, it's okay.

The big deal is to lose the game, and they won't lose the playoffs because of it.

However, this kind of exploration and pursuit of the unknown cannot be stopped.

Subsequent games, the two sides played back and forth, and even the Knicks' main lineup once chased the score to only 5 points left.

However, as soon as the substitutes came on the scene, the situation immediately became one-sided again.

The Knicks' bench lineup is really too stretched, which makes Terry and Peja of the Mavericks play against them as easily as they are downsized.

Fortunately, at the last minute, Terry and Peja also began to strike frequently, so that the score was not further opened.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks at home were 12 points behind at 75:87, which means they recovered 8 points in this quarter.

Of course, the Knicks scored 29 points in a single quarter, which is a good performance, but the number of turnovers for the entire team also came to 4 times in this quarter!

For most teams, four turnovers in a quarter may not be a lot, but for the Knicks, the team with the fewest turnovers in the league, averaging seven turnovers per game, that's a lot.

Obviously, playing fast is accompanied by an increase in mistakes.

It seems inevitable.

The main reason for chasing points is that the Mavericks cannot score by themselves.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the headache for the Knicks came again. Even if Terry was not present at this time, Barea and Peja could easily penetrate the Knicks' rotation defense.

Soon the score difference reached 13 points, and Anthony couldn't sit still. He even asked D'Antoni: "Coach, I feel full of energy and feel hot, and I need to vent on the court!"

D'Antoni nodded: "Okay, An Bandit!"

Anthony was accurate and was put on the court ahead of schedule. After he played, he scored two consecutive rounds, and the effect was immediate.

But the Knicks still have no way to prevent the rampage of Barea.

The difference has been in double digits.

After the rotation time, both sides changed into the main lineup, the Mavericks' decisive lineup also surfaced!

Kidd, Terry, Marion, Nowitzki and Chandler.

In this lineup, they had only played for a few minutes in the first half, and at this time, the fourth quarter decisive battle was like this again.

That's right, when Terry was put into this lineup, it didn't feel that the lineup had fewer attack points, and its offense and defense became extremely balanced.

And with Terry and Marion, two players who are known for their speed, they are not too afraid of opponents playing fast.

In contrast, the Knicks have not changed, can only use that set of fixed lineup.

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between a team that has been working hard for many years and a team that has not yet finished rebuilding.

The good news for Knicks fans is that Stoudemire and Anthony seem to be getting their touch back at the same time after returning to the court in the fourth quarter.

In the face of the Mavericks' defensive formation, he frequently hit the mid-range.

But on the defensive end, the Knicks still have no way to stop the Mavericks from scoring. Nowitzki and Terry are tall and short, fast and slow, but they are both first-class scorers with 360-degree frontcourt without dead ends. Kidd's threading, it is very difficult to defend them.

Bai Feng's sudden burst of two three-pointers brought the difference to only 6 points!

However, Nowitzki then hit the ball from beyond the arc to pull the score apart.

Immediately afterwards, the Mavericks even replaced Kidd for a rest, replaced Peja on the court, and let Terry play the point guard.

In an instant, countless three-pointers rained down on Madison Square Garden, completely destroying the Knicks' determination to fight back.

In the end, the Knicks lost the game 102:116 at home, ending their 17-game winning streak.

In this game, Bai Feng scored a team-high 24 points and added 10 assists.

Stoudemire and Anthony played in general, scoring 16 and 21 points respectively.

On the other hand, the Mavericks scored in double figures. Nowitzki, Marion, Terry, Chandler, Peja and Barea all scored in double figures.

Although Kidd only scored 6 points, he sent out 13 assists, which can be said to be the most stable point for the Mavericks.

At the end of the game, Stoudemire and Marion are friends again

After a good exchange, the two were on the Suns back then, and now they have each voted for a new leader. Now it seems that they have both found a good home.

For the Knicks fans on the scene, although losing this game and (Mano Zhao) did not affect the Knicks entering the playoffs, they were still a little melancholy.

After all, it was a big defeat, and the team's 17-game winning streak came to an abrupt end.

The most important thing is that they have always thought that the Knicks are invincible before, after all, they have defeated so many strong teams!

But after this game, they saw clearly that the Knicks had so many deficiencies.

For Bai Feng, losing this game is not necessarily all bad.

At least this game gave him a lot.

At the same time, there are also many questions that appear in his mind, and he will probably spend a lot of time thinking about this issue in the next time.

As for Anthony, he seemed a little melancholy. He was probably the most unhappy when he lost the game.

However, Brother Gua was only unhappy for a while, and soon, he wanted to understand that in fact, the opponent played very well, and he was restricted quite uncomfortable.

The Knicks lost the game purely because of inferior skills, and there is nothing to complain about.

No, when I got to the locker room and saw D'Antoni, Anthony smiled and said with the head coach: "Ah, coach, I think you are right.

Their strength, playing a team like the Heat Celtics is indeed a bit reluctant, or the hope of playing the Bulls is greater.

D'Antoni shrugged and comforted him: "Mero, don't lose confidence because of this game, but the opponent made a lot of targeting, and we didn't deal with it.

It's just... To put it bluntly, they must have studied us in all aspects before the game, and we didn't do that, so don't lose confidence. "

Looking at D'Antoni Anthony's heart suddenly became a little mixed.

He always felt that he was being placed in a battle with the head coach in a battle of wits and courage. .
