Chapter 70 - [You can’t win at all]

   On the 24th, the first game of Derby started at Madison Square Garden.

   No. 1 regular season record, the Knicks’ popularity is still not comparable to the Bulls, even if Yang Rui is in, China CCTV5 also chose to broadcast the Bulls VS Cavaliers. Fans all over the world are staring at Jordan’s curtain call performance.

   The game is only broadcast live on the New York and New Jersey local stations, and other media are not interested. They think that the strength of the two teams is very different and there will be no upset.

   Knicks starter: Cheers, Houston, Bowen, Johnson, Ewing.

   Nets starters: Kassel, Kendall Gill, Corey Kittles, Van Horn, Chris Gatling.

  Just as Yang Rui predicted, the Nets’ plan was to defend the Knicks from the outside, and sent two highly mobile thin men to play inside. Responsible star blue-collar Jason Williams came off the bench.

   Such an arrangement can also evacuate the inside line, if Ewing does not leave the restricted area, the Nets are difficult to hit the basket.

  Ewing won the ball and the game started.

  Chailes passed the ball to Johnson and stood at the right 70 degrees to wait for the opportunity. Johnson took the ball frame in the middle and formed a one-on-one with Van Horn.

  Chailes returned to the starting point is Van Gundy’s idea, he defended better than Ward, the strength is not afraid of confrontation, more suitable for the defense of Kassel. Yang Rui does not object. The Cheers organization is not bad, because there is no need for a point guard organization today.

  Johnson waited for Houston to run and passed the ball, Gatling switched to defense, and after Ewing screened, he cut to the rim.

  Houston first passed back to Johnson, Johnson relied on Van Horn, the inside pass to the rim, the three players had a very small range, and the Nets couldn’t stop it.

  Gatlin turned around and saw Ewing squeezed away from Kassel, took the ball and took a step with his hands dunk! 2 to 0.

   No matter how maneuverable it is, there is also a process of turning around. Gatling doesn’t dare to completely let go of Houston. No one in the entire league dares to do this. This is the strength of the dual-core inside and outside the Knicks. They can always create a heads-up opportunity for each other.

  The Nets attacked, the Knicks started to mark people, Ewing single defense Gatlin, defended near the penalty area, put two steps away.

After a few passes, the ball was in Gatling’s hands, but Ewing wasn’t able to prevent a shot. After Gatling swayed and jump shot, he threw out his hand and interfered, not jumping, just frightened, the ball popped out of the basket, Johnson scored a rebound on the other side.

  Williams is away, the Nets rebound ability is weak.

   Knicks position battle, Johnson passed Houston, Houston moved a step forward to transfer the ball to the left Ewing, Johnson squeezed Van Horn and cut to the basket.

   Ewing passed the ball from the top of Kassel to Johnson at 45 degrees, the latter jumped on the ball and took a one-handed dunk! 4 to 0.

  The Nets attacked, Kassel held the ball after the pick-and-roll, and was replaced by Johnson. He can bully the small guard with his height and back, but he can’t beat Johnson. The ball passes out of the periphery. Van Horn is caught by Cheers and can’t comfortably shoot. After two steps, he finds his teammates.

   Passed several times and was unavailable, Kassel singled out Cheers, the face frame did not pass, he leaned back, turned around and was disturbed, the ball missed.

   Both are 191cm tall and weigh 88kg. They are of similar size. Kassel has no physical advantage. Chelsea has a good defensive prediction.

  Ewing got the rebound and the Knicks landed again. This time, Ewing caught the ball on the left side, attracting Gatling’s attention to pass the ball to the left low.

   Johnson took the ball on his back and leaned on Van Horn to forcibly turn to the bottom line and backhanded the basketball. 6 to 0.

   Van Horn is 208cm tall, weighs only 100 kg, and has comprehensive technology. The most suitable position is the small forward, so he can prevent the inside from being a colander, and his ability to fight is too poor.

   Johnson weighs 113 kilograms, and his arms are almost as thick as Van Horn’s head. How can he prevent such a person?

   The Nets attack, still initiated by Kassel, singles the ball with the ball and pulls the ball into the jumper. 6 to 2.

  The Knicks attacked, with the inside pass and inner cooperation. Johnson leaned back against Van Horn and turned to the middle of the road twice. With his hands shaking the ball, he took another step forward and strengthened against Van Horn.

  Van Horn’s softness is mainly reflected on the defensive end, the fouls are not determined, and the opponent is scored again. 8 to 2.

The Nets attacked nothing, but Kassel changed the side of the pick and roll, facing Ewing forcibly broke into the basket, Ewing followed on the side, his long arm covered too much area, he couldn’t shoot, circled and passed again teammate.

   Several passes were as fast as 24 seconds, Kittles missed a jumper and missed, Ewing got a rebound.

  John Calipari shouted on the sidelines to let Gatling change position, knowing that Van Horn could not resist. The Knicks scored again with a simple transposition.

   Johnson pulled out the perimeter to attract the defense, Houston hung the ball to Ewing. Ewing left low singles, leaned on Van Horn turned to the middle to hook the ball into the ball. 10 to 2.

  Cancel’s dribble failed to reach the outside line. Van Horn singled Johnson and failed to get rid of it.

   Calipari called Jason Williams to his side, ready to let him play, but now it is difficult to break through the opponent’s defense line, the blue-collar center will attack even worse. To defend, he has no choice.

  The Knicks attacked and Ewing picked up the ball. Van Horn pulled the foul in advance.

  Ewing made two free throws, 12 to 2.

Williams played, Maver Albert praised: “The Nets who played at the start of the Knicks were forced to make a substitution~www.wuxiax.com~ Today they did not make a three-pointer and returned to the basket. Van Horn He’s averaged nearly 20 points per game this year, but he still needs to improve defensively.”

  Marty Glickman said: “Williams replaced Gatling, so Ewing will be relaxed on the defensive end.”

   Both explanations are very thorough, the Knicks are not only able to attack, defense is equally powerful.

   Kassel continued to find Van Horn to play pick-and-roll, Johnson single defense, Kassel forced a layup and missed, especially because he controlled the backcourt.

   At this moment, Calipari suddenly remembered what the other party said when he first met Yang Rui.

“Dribble breakthrough tactics, I think it should be called “AASAA”, that is, “I play, I play, I burst, I play, I play again.” Mr. Calipari, you carry forward this set of tactics and give it The new title is DDM. Among them, the defender’s ability to hold the ball is its lifeline, am I right?”

   “If the opponent gets stuck at the core guard, there is no good point guard and you can’t win.”

   Both insides can pull out perimeter shots. Kassel’s role is easy to play. After Williams played, he was really stuck.

  Because Kassel can only take the strong side, if the pick-and-roll is played on the weak side, the opponent can trap him and empty Williams, who shoots badly.

The Knicks attacked, Houston and Ewing had no ball screen, Williams changed the defense a little slower, Houston made a three-pointer shot, the ball did not score, Johnson cut into the basket, rushed to grab the frontcourt rebounds, relying on Van Horn 2 The offense succeeded. 14 to 2.

   still couldn’t prevent his opponent from attacking. Calipari had a cold sweat on his back. He finally understood the reason why Yang Rui said that at the time.

   As early as that time, Yang Rui looked down on him, and his self-confidence ability was much stronger than him!
