In the first week of the new season, although the Knicks won all four gas, they perford fairly well.
This is related to the weak opponents, and another part of the reason is that so teams seem to be more aggressive in their offense.
Facing the Pistons, the Bucks played 121 points of offense.
In the sa day's ga, the Mavericks also defeated the Warriors 120:97 away.
New York fans thought that Lee would easily win the Player of the Week, after all, his efficiency was too high, averaging 28.3 points per ga and shooting 60.2%!
As a result, after the NBA announced the Player of the Week for the first week, New York fans were silent.
In the three gas of the first week, the Bucks had 3 wins and 0 losses, and Sam Cassell successfully won the first Player of the Week.
Averaged 29.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 3.3 turnovers, shooting 69.4%, 3-point shooting 33.3%, and free throw shooting 85.7%.
The average playing ti of 33.7 minutes per ga really shocked many comntators.
Lee and Cassell played almost the sa amount of ti, with slightly more rebounds and assists, but their efficiency was not as good as the "Alien".
Cassell, who is not very good-looking, is always easily overlooked.
This ti, winning the award can be regarded as a relief for himself.
On the evening of November 8, the Bucks challenged the Knicks away.
The Bucks, who are also a team with three musketeers, were suppressed at the beginning of the ga.
Larry Johnson sat on the bench with a depressed look.
When he woke up, his back was tense and his knees were sore.
He had to rest due to injury in this ga.
Too many playoffs for three consecutive seasons not only made Ewing and Oakley's physical condition decline, but Larry Johnson's condition this year was also very average.
Even if he lost weight, the "grandmama" still couldn't find the state of the previous seasons, and even his back-to-the-basket singles in the low post had problems.
Madison Square Garden was still noisy, and Jeff Van Gundy stood on the sidelines with his arms folded.
Oakley's physical condition declined, and the coaching staff has begun to consciously control the playing ti of the veteran.
At this ti, there were 3 minutes and 36 seconds left in the second quarter.
The Knicks took Rashard Lewis, and the coaching staff wanted to strengthen the offense.
The Bucks only scored 22 points in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, the veteran Dale Ellis on the opposite side suddenly broke out and helped the Bucks score continuously.
43:50, relying on the advantage established by 33 points in the first quarter, the Knicks still maintained the lead.
Cassell was in average condition tonight.
He went up and down with Lee in the second quarter and returned to the court with 4 minutes and 50 seconds left in the half.
In the last round, the jump shot outside the three-point line was missed.
With the shouts of head coach George Karl, the Bucks quickly retreated.
It was difficult to score with the rotation lineup, and Lee was not in a hurry to attack after he ca on the court.
Compared with previous seasons, the Bucks' defensive discipline was better, and Ray Allen got more shots.
Amid the cheers of New York fans, Lee slowly crossed half court.
Alan Houston slowly moved upwards in the left corner, but Kukoc imdiately set a high pick-and-roll for Lee.
At the top of the arc, far from the three-point line, Kukoc ran to the right side of Lee's body.
Taking advantage of Glenn Robinson's double-teaming of Lee, who was holding the ball in his left hand, he quickly broke away and moved to the right wing.
Facing the quick double-team of Cassell and Robinson, Lee suddenly turned around after receiving the ball, and then quickly passed the ball to Kukoc in an open position with his right hand.
The latter received the ball without pausing, and imdiately put the ball in his left hand and went straight to the basket.
As a tall forward, Kukoc took a big stride and rushed to the paint area in two big steps.
Robert Traylor had just shrunk to the basket, and Kukoc completed a behind-the-back pass.
The basketball flew straight to the right corner.
When Lewis received the ball, there was no one in front of him.
He took a look for a while and hit the three-pointer steadily.
With smooth cooperation and beautiful assists, New York fans cheered loudly for Kukoc.
This forr best sixth man of the Bulls is not good at carrying the ball alone, but as an organizing forward, he can play a brilliant performance.
Larry Johnson rested, and Kukoc, who started, had more opportunities to control the ball.
Coach George Karl imdiately requested a tiout and stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, obviously very dissatisfied with this round of defense.
Lee walked to the bench and shook hands with Kukoc, smiling and simply praised:
"Nice pass! An open jump shot is also okay, find your touch."
Kukoc shook his head helplessly.
After joining the Knicks, he shot open three-pointers in the past few gas, 0 out of 4 in two consecutive gas.
Unlike the Bulls who usually attack in the low post of the blocking zone, most of the Knicks' offense this year is high pick-and-roll.
If the inside players who do not have the ability to attack independently want to participate more in the offense, pick-and-roll is a good choice.
"I'll be able to adapt after a few more gas!"
Looking at Jeff Van Gundy, Kukoc finally responded in a low voice.
Contrary to his expectations, the Knicks' offense was too "free".
After the tiout, the Bucks did not slow down the pace of the ga.
Cassell dribbled across half court, and Glenn Robinson moved from the right corner to the right wing to receive the ball.
He swayed left and right, and the mont he received the ball, Robinson imdiately put the ball in his right hand, crossed his steps and broke through, and went straight to the basket.
Kukoc's sliding step was a beat slower, and his position in the blocking area could not keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
At this ti, he simply adjusted his feet, rushed to the basket, and jumped up to block in advance.
Ben Wallace also quickly assisted in defense.
Under the siege of the two, even if his teammates appeared in an open position, Robinson did not choose to pass the ball, but moved in the air, dodged the defense and reluctantly shot the ball to the basket.
The interference still worked, and the basketball hit the basket.
After landing, Ben Wallace jumped again and grabbed the basketball that had just left the basket.
The Bucks had already retreated quickly at this ti.
Cassell stopped leading the defense as required by the head coach, but quickly returned to the half court and stood outside the three-point line in advance.
The Knicks' transition offense was also very fast.
Lewis and Alan Houston ran to the bottom corners on both sides at the first ti, and Kukoc also quickly moved to the left wing.
Ben Wallace stood directly at the top of the arc after rushing through the half court.
Cassell hurriedly moved again and stood in front of "Little Ben
