Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

For the Knicks, G4 is still a game that cannot be lost.

After all, if they lose, the total score is 1:3, and the next game is the Mavericks at home, and it is still difficult for them to come back.

D'Antoni didn't have too many tactical changes in preparation for this game. After all, the Knicks have played so far, with this lineup, it is impossible to make any tactical changes.

In G2, D'Antoni had forced some changes, but it turned out to be a side effect.

Since it is better not to change, it is better not to change.

That's right, it's not like the Knicks are strong, just because their roster depth is so bad that there's no way to make an effective change.

In fact, in G3, the Knicks played very well most of the time. Anthony scored 30+, and Stoudemire was close to 30+10. Although Bai Feng's performance in regular time was not satisfactory, he A tie at a critical moment and an extra-time lore are the real factors for winning.

It can be said that the Knicks almost played to the extreme before they fought for G3.

This is also a manifestation of the strength of the Mavericks.

From this aspect alone, this G4 will not be easy.

In the crowded Madison Square Garden, the players from both sides made their debut after the exciting home court appearance ceremony.

[Knicks start]

Point Guard: Bai Feng

Shooting guard: JR Smith

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire

Center: Ronny Turiaf

[The Mavericks start]

Point Guard: Jason Kidd

Shooting Guard: De Sean Stevenson

Small Forward: Sean Marion

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki

Center: Tyson Chandler

Although the Mavericks used Terry and Peja as the offensive lineup for most of the last game, they did not abandon this starting lineup with one offense and four defenses.

The two sides stood in the middle of the circle, and with the cheering of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, the game began!

Tyson Chandler earned the Mavericks the first wave of possessions.

As soon as he came up, Nowitzki hit a mid-range shot.

0:2

The Knicks attacked, and Anton's attack failed to hit.

In the Mavericks round, Dirk Nowitzki's outer bomb attracted the attention of the defense, and Kidd assisted Marion, who was empty-cutting, to complete a layup.

0:4

In the Knicks round, Bai Feng and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll, Stoudemire took a pass from Bai Feng after dismantling, and shot from the middle distance, the prisoner.

This start, the state of the two teams does not seem to be on the same level.

The high scoring efficiency of the Mavericks' two consecutive hits seems to be a counter-offensive.

This can't help but make the fans at the home guess, is it because the last game G3,917 that went to overtime cost the Knicks too much? Haven't they recovered yet?

But it's not right. The Mavericks also fought to the last moment. It stands to reason that their players are older and their influence should be greater.

In fact, to say that G3 has no impact on the state of the players tonight, obviously not, but the impact will certainly not be too big, after all, there is a whole day of rest in the middle

There are many reasons for the poor feel on the court.

Of course, nothing can be concluded just because of these two rounds.

Sure enough, the next round, the Knicks played.

Bai Feng squeezed the Mavericks' defense after breaking through the pick-and-roll, and assisted JR Smith who cut behind him to complete a layup.

2:4

Fans who were standing and watching the game can finally sit down!

The Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki missed a 3-pointer.

In the Knicks round, Bai Feng played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire again. This time he successfully assisted Stoudemire to complete the storm after finishing the next straight.

4:4

After a while, the score was tied by the Knicks.

The fans at the scene were once again enthusiastic.

"It seems that the Knicks are in good shape today, if we keep this state and win the game, we still have a good chance!

"Yes, let's fight again, just like the last one!"

"That's what it feels like, go ahead, Knicks!"

After the first three matches, Bai Feng has become more and more adaptable to his opponent's style.

Jason Kidd is indeed an experienced point guard, and his style of play is very "demon".

Even in the first two games of the finals, they kept creating "traps" for the whiteboard

However, from the third game, Bai Feng has basically figured out the routine.

Those "traps" that Kidd set up are nothing more than using some unreasonable defensive choices to make inexperienced young people not know how to choose.

Although G1 Bai Feng suffered a few losses, he quickly found a way to break it.

G2 Bai Feng even made use of the explosive feel to play a 40+ performance.

Although he encountered some troubles in the third game, he finally completed the redemption with one absolute peace and one lore.

Now, he basically understands Kidd.

This guy, that is, the defensive position selection and confrontation are relatively strong, and he is an upgraded version of his previous "reasonable" defense.

In fact, Kidd can't keep up with him at all in terms of mobility and speed.

As for Bai Feng, he only needs to let his teammates pick and roll him. If he feels good, he can shoot Kidd directly. If he feels bad, he can use his speed and position to rush him. In this way, Kidd's weaknesses can be exposed. .

The Knicks attacked, and this time Bai Feng called the pick-and-roll again.

After the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks' defense didn't have any delay, so Bai Feng decided to take a test shot from beyond the arc.

Swish!

hit!

7:4

Apparently, he was in good hands today.

Seeing Bai Feng making a three-pointer, the fans at the scene began to revel again!

"Come, come, Fengshen's touch is coming, tremble, Mavericks!"

"Now as long as Fengshen scores, I will wait for stability.

"Just play like this, don't give the Mavericks a chance!"

In the Mavericks round, Dirk Nowitzki took the ball in a low position and used his iconic golden rooster independence, but he still hit hard.

Stoudemire protects the rebound.

It seems that the Mavericks feel really bad today.

The Knicks attacked, Bai Feng called Stoudemire's pick-and-roll again, but Kidd responded this time. He used the extreme approach of half-defense, directly blocking Stoudemire's pick-and-roll position, thus letting go of Bai Feng's weak side hand.

Bai Feng did not hesitate, and directly broke through with the ball, forcing the Mavericks to tighten their defense.

In this way, Bai Feng decisively passed the ball to JR Smith who was released from the bottom corner [the latter shot the main score.

Swish!

hit!

10:4

JR made a 3-pointer!

In this way, he has already scored 5 points in the opening game, becoming the player with the most points in the game.

After scoring the goal, JR excitedly shouted something to the fanatical fans in the stands, and while shouting, he did not forget to retreat quickly.

Obviously, today's JR is no longer "nervous", and as soon as he plays, he is full of firepower.

Mavericks round, their offense is still not finished.

Such a situation, so that the force of the Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle is full of worries.

The Mavericks' starting lineup, if the offense can't open, or more directly, if Dirk Nowitzki can't find the touch on the offensive end, then their game rhythm will have problems.

Obviously, at the beginning of today's game, Nowitzki's hand is not good.

Throughout the playoffs, that's not often the case.

Probably only when playing the Blazers in the first round of the Western Conference, when there were two games, Nowitzki didn't feel good.

But from then on, he felt hot all the way, God blocked killing God, Buddha blocked killing Buddha!

Even after losing the last G3 game, Nowitzki also scored an explosive 37 points and 13 rebounds!

Of course, Rick Carlisle is a calm head coach, and he didn't make any big moves because of these short rounds.

He has always believed that Nowitzki will find the touch.

However, things are going in the opposite direction he imagined.

Because Nowitzki has been unable to find his touch, Marion, who has a little ball-handling ability, also seems unreliable for the Mavericks' offense and is still in a stagnant state.

On the other hand, the Knicks, although Stoudemire and Anthony are in average state, but JR Smith seems to be on the hook tonight!

Not only did he shoot accurately, the Mavericks' defense dared not let him go, and even all kinds of breakthroughs and cuts were abnormally in place.

Bai Feng only needs to pass him a good ball, and JR Smith can use various operations to score the ball!

There was even a nifty feint after feinting Chandler for a 2+1.

Soon, the Knicks pulled the score to 21:9, leading to as many as 12 points!

At this time, the Mavericks called a timeout and made a (bcea) substitution.

Replaced Stevenson and replaced Jason Terry in advance.

At this time, the substitution is obviously a last resort. Terry, as an excellent sixth man, can score as much as he likes in the rotation time. In the lineup comparison of the two teams, the Mavericks therefore have a huge advantage.

However, since the attack of the Mavericks' main lineup has been delayed tonight, they must replace Terry, who has a strong offensive ability with the ball, at this time.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless for Congress Terry to chase the points with his bench lineup if the points were pulled apart.

The effect of this substitution was immediate. As soon as he came up, Terry used a pull-up jumper after the breakthrough to help the Mavericks score 2 points.

21:11

But the Knicks had already found the offensive feeling at this time, and looking back, Bai Feng fed the ball to JR Smith again.

JR took advantage of his height to post up the small and thin Terry, and hit the last turnaround jumper again!

23:11

After scoring this goal, JR Smith has scored 13 points!

You know, the first quarter is just over 7 minutes.

He made 6 of 7 shots and became the Knicks' most active player in the first half.

The fans at the scene were simply overwhelmed!

"Hahaha, I never imagined that JR Smith would be the first person in G4 to stand up!"

"It was a surprise, it was great, JR tonight is Jordan!"

"I have to say, Bai Feng is also very good. Seeing that JR has a touch, he keeps feeding JR the ball. Tsk tsk, this organizational ability doesn't look like he is only 20 years old. 11

That's right, the fourth scoring point of a team like JR, he wants to play well, it's only a prerequisite for him to be in shape. The key point is that the ball holder must be able to give the ball to him.

Among the 13 points JR scored, Bai Feng directly formed at least 4 assists.

This situation is the last thing the Mavericks want to see!

Although they have a lot of defensive resources, Chandler can limit Stoudemire, Marion can also limit Anthony with a suitable help defense, and Kidd naturally has a certain limiting effect on Bai Feng.

But these three people have basically used all the defensive resources of the Mavericks.

At this time, if the Knicks' role players suddenly play, then the Mavericks will be in a very difficult situation.

Especially after replacing Terry, a player who contributed little on the defensive end, JR Smith even grabbed him to play to punish the Mavericks for this substitution strategy.

The Knicks have completely overwhelmed the Mavericks, both tactically and on the scene!

If Terry continues to be on the court, he will be targeted by JR Smith.

But if he doesn't play, it can't change the Mavericks' offense.

The root cause of all this has to start with Nowitzki's lack of touch on the offensive end.

The Knicks offensive climax has not stopped!

Although JR Smith's offensive efficiency declined after that, Bai Feng and Anthony stood up one after another and scored on the offensive end, allowing the Knicks to continue their lead.

On the Mavericks side, Terry's playing did solve the scoring problem effectively for them, but it also lowered the Mavericks' defensive level.

In the climax of the Knicks' offense round after round, the atmosphere on the scene has reached its peak!

D'Antoni saw the players playing such a violent momentum, and he did not make any mistakes, and let the main lineup play a full quarter!

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks established a 15-point lead in a single quarter at 38:23 at home!

Bai Feng even scored 9 points and 7 assists in a single quarter!

JR Smith went berserk in a single quarter, scoring 17 points, and Anthony also scored 8 points.

Although Stoudemire's performance was somewhat unsatisfactory, only 4 points and 2 rebounds.

But JR played this kind of super-level performance, and of course he didn't need to play.

No one would have imagined that the Knicks would almost be suppressed at the start of the first three games, but at the start of G4, they would be able to play such a mercury-like attack!

The Mavericks' defensive system, which was praised by major experts and the media, was directly overwhelmed?!

Before that, Dirk Nowitzki was almost a god in the playoffs. In this first quarter, he also made 1 of 6 shots very abnormally, and only relied on 2 of 2 free throws to win the change.

This situation, both surprising, at the same time, also excited Knicks fans.

"Hahaha, it's finally time for us to break out. The Mavericks now know how good we are!"

"You think we only have the Big Three? No, no, JR is actually a super-giant with a 'Jordan Experience Card'!"

"The Mavericks are messed up, they are messed up, we're going to win, hahaha!"

JR Smith's play in the playoffs has also been increasingly recognized by New York fans.

Once, in the game against the Bulls, he was known to everyone with a kind of nonsensical farce that was almost "brain-dead".

In the crucial battle with the Heat, the name of "Three Minute Jordan" resounded in Madison Square Garden.

Tonight, JR broke out again, with a 17-point performance in a single quarter, the Knicks fans once again recognized him.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks are real.

A 15-point difference in a single quarter may not be fatal.

But the fatal problem is that Dirk Nowitzki feels extremely bad today!

He was 1-for-6 in a single quarter, and he hit the iron six times in a row with the first shot.

Although it is impossible for the best shooter to guarantee that he will hit every shot, there are also downturns.

But Nowitzki's downturn is deadly for the Mavericks system!

In this regard, Rick Carlisle had to consider directly giving the Mavericks a system in the second quarter.

But this way, the whole team will be in a rhythm that they are not comfortable with, and if it is not handled well, the situation may be worse.

But right now, there is no other better way.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks can now change into their rotation lineup with peace of mind. After all, they have a 15-point lead. No matter how "lost" these bench players are, how can they be said to be able to lose their 15-point lead? .
