Finals G1, before the ga started, Popovich and the coaching staff watched a lot of Knicks videos.
Steve Kerr even shared his experience with everyone against Clay Lee.
It's just that the reference value of the regular season is not great.
In the first two rounds of the playoffs, with Ewing, the Knicks are almost egalitarian.
After watching the Eastern Conference Finals, I finally saw sothing, but when it ca to the ga, I found that the Knicks had changed a lot.
After realizing that the Knicks' offense was faster, the number of rounds was more, and the defense was difficult to counterattack, Popovich also added so routines after the tiout.
The offense of 6 seconds to cross half court, 3 seconds to position, and 2 seconds to pass the ball at the beginning, while others watched the twin towers and had no chance to transfer the ball gradually disappeared.
Avery Johnson on the outside line increased so aggression.
Nearly 20 seconds, the right wing outside the three-point line received the ball.
With the help of Duncan's screen, Avery Johnson got rid of Lee and made a free throw.
It was just the sa routine.
Avery Johnson changed direction and did it again.
He broke through deeper and shot in the paint area right in front of the basket, but was blocked by Ben Wallace who was helping to defend!
The basketball flew directly to the half court.
The wonderful block also made the New York fans at the scene exclaim.
"Oh!"
Duncan was about to squeeze under the basket after the screen, but Lee was quick and had already controlled the ball on the three-point line, and then rushed with the ball.
Although Mario Elie was old, he returned to defense very quickly and chased to Lee's side in the first ti.
Before he had ti to cut the ball, Lee who rushed across the three-point line completed a ground pass from behind.
Alan Houston, who quickly ca down from the other side, was not defended.
After receiving the ball, he easily dunked with one hand!
In the comntary booth, Bob Costas saw the easy two-on-one fast break and sighed:
"God! The Knicks' counterattack was too fast. The Spurs were very passive in the past few minutes."
Doug Collins, who was standing by, looked at Ben Wallace who was pounding his chest under the basket and said thoughtfully:
"Maybe Wallace can't limit the Spurs' big n, but he has a good sense of help defense and a fast rebound speed!"
The Spurs also began to speed up their offensive rhythm.
Duncan no longer turned his back to the ball, but suddenly ca to the right blocking area and received the ball facing the basket.
Facing Oakley's defense, Duncan quickly tested his right foot and then pulled it directly.
"Bang!"
The basketball just hit the basket and Ben Wallace, who was fighting with David Robinson under the basket, jumped high, grabbed the rebound with one hand, and then imdiately passed the ball to Lee who was responding.
Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines stood up and clapped his hands.
The rebound speed is also a talent.
At least in rebounding, the Knicks are not at a disadvantage at present.
Avery Johnson's close defense didn't work very well, and Lee's ball-guard instinctively slapped away the small guard's interference.
Quickly coming to the right wing, seeing Lee's tactical gesture, Larry Johnson imdiately slipped across the baseline from left to right, and ca to the right low post to ask for the ball with his back to the basket.
Elliott tried to defend, but there was a big difference in physical strength between the two.
As soon as Larry Johnson opened his hand to ask for the ball, Lee sent a high pass.
The mont he received the ball, Larry Johnson imdiately put the ball in his hands, hit it, and then jumped to break the defense.
He completed a fadeaway jump shot in the paint area!
"Swish!" The two-point shot went into the net.
David Robinson, who was helping with defense, was half a beat slower.
Seeing Elliott raise his hand to indicate that it was his problem, he could only frown and quickly serve the baseline ball.
10:17, there were 4 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter, and the Spurs' scoring had stopped for a while.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Seeing Lee continue to defend Avery Johnson, the defensive cheers at the scene beca louder and louder.
In the Knicks' defensive system, Lee is usually only responsible for putting pressure on the ball and delaying the opponent's advancent.
The Spurs' offense is slow to begin with, and Avery Johnson carefully controls the ball and advances.
Many rounds are pressed for 8 seconds before passing half court.
Protecting the ball sideways and turning continuously, Avery Johnson rushed through half court, but still couldn't get rid of Lee's arm.
As Popovich shouted on the sidelines, David Robinson quickly went to the free throw line and screened Avery Johnson.
Lee simply walked down the line and squeezed past David Robinson.
When he chased Avery Johnson again, the two ca to the right elbow area.
Taking advantage of the gap, the latter quickly sent a ground pass.
David Robinson received the ball on the free throw line, quickly tested his left foot, and bent down to pass the ball.
However, just as the basketball was at the waist, Ben Wallace suddenly rushed up and poked the ball away.
David Robinson quickly turned around to control the ball, but Ben Wallace imdiately jumped to catch the ball.
The two fell to the ground at the sa ti.
