"Mike seems to want to transplant the style of play in Phoenix to this New York Knicks, but the problem is that these players don't have that kind of technical requirements!" Mike Breen said.
"He is indeed doing this, because he let David play the 5th position, which shows this point. David can open the space and play in the low post, but the threat after the pick-and-roll is obviously different from that of Amare. More Needless to say, let Larry and Nate play on the wings, the off-ball threat is still not enough!" Mark Jackson said.
David Lee received the ball after getting off, facing the opponent's inside flank, and distributed the ball to Nate Robinson on the right wing.
Nate Robinson feinted a shot and shook Kevin Martin. The latter forcibly killed the basket, but was interfered by Jason Thompson who was helping to defend, and missed a layup!
Xie Kaifei took the rebound and gave it to Udry.
The Kings did not play a 7-second offense. Obviously, their overall height and speed are not as good as the opponent's. Using their own shortcomings to play the opponent's strengths is not what coach Kenny Knight would do.
It was not Larry Hughes who opened the defense, but Chris Duhon.Obviously, the mustache coach asked this excellent defensive combo guard to defend the opponent's top perimeter star Kevin Martin.
The Knicks' defense is not systematic, and they don't have enough body inside and outside, so they can only use flanking at certain times.
Jason Thompson low to the pass, forced against David Lee.
Although David Lee is a white man and his defense is not good, his strength is enough, so rookie Jason Thompson did not take advantage of him.
Xie Kai moved without the ball and handed hands with Jason Thompson.
Jason Thompson immediately cut inside, Xie kicked off without stopping, and quickly passed the ball to him.
Jason Thompson hit David Lee behind him, facing the 175cm Nate Robinson inside, he dunked with both hands!
"Bang—" Mike Breen exclaimed.
"New York's inside line is not high enough. After David is passed, no one can protect the basket!" Mark Jackson said.
The Kings led by 14 points at 11:3!
On the Knicks side, Larry Hughes received the ball while moving, and feigned thanks. The latter was indifferent, and he broke through with the ball inside.
Xie Kai defended very actively, not afraid of the opponent's physical confrontation, and tried his best to interfere with him.
Larry Hughes didn't find a good shot and gave it to Wilson Chandler on the right.
Wilson Chandler also didn't make a shot, he took the ball to kill the basket, plunged into the crowd, and finally made a mistake...
"New York seems to be a bunch of players who can shoot, but in fact, it seems that none of them can find a stable outside shooting ability..." Mike Breen said with some helplessness.
Mark Jackson nodded and said: "They are all attacking with the ball, and there is a shortage of off-ball shooters. Nate has a good shooting percentage, but he also likes to shoot with the ball himself. This is indeed a problem. The offense of Phoenix back then, I think Copying is indeed almost impossible!"
The Kings attacked here, and Kevin Martin made a foul under the defense of Hughes...
"Kevin's ability to draw fouls is really unbelievable!" Mike Brin laughed.
"He's really hard to guard against. His body is full of thorns. If he doesn't stick tightly, he will shoot!" Mark Jackson also said helplessly.
Kevin Martin made two free throws, and the Kings led the Knicks by 16 points at 11:5!
D'Antoni frowned and immediately requested a timeout!
The fans at Madison Square Garden did not boo too much, after all, they have gotten used to it in the past few seasons!The mud is really not just talking casually, it has indeed been rotten for many years.
After the timeout came back, both sides made personnel adjustments.For the Kings, Bobby Jackson came in for Udry and Diogu came in for Hawes. For the Knicks, Wilcox came in for David Lee and Quentin Richardson came in. Larry Hughes was replaced.
The game continues.
For the Knicks, Wilcox's alley-oop drew a foul from Jason Thompson and went to the free throw line.
Wilcox made two free throws, and the difference between the two sides was reduced to 3 points!
The Kings attack, Kevin Martin misses the shot!
Xie Kai grabbed an offensive rebound and gave it to Jason Thompson under the basket, who made a layup!
The point difference returned to 5 points again!
"The rebounding ability of this player Kane is really good! It's too positive!" Mike Breen sighed.
"It's really good, but I also want to thank the opponent for not blocking the inside and not protecting the rebound for the outside!" When Mark Jackson talked about the Knicks' defense, he really hated iron and steel.
The Knicks wanted to repeat the trick again, and Kevin Martin made a successful steal!
The Kings counterattacked, and Xie Kai received Bobby Jackson's touch pass directly on the move, and he flew for a dunk!
The Chinese fans at the scene cheered, and Xie Kai's performance made them very excited.
The Kings led by 20 points at 13:7!
In the game after the first quarter, the Kings firmly controlled the situation on the court. At the end of the first quarter, they led their opponents by 33 points 20:13!
谢开首节2投2中，得到4分3篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽，成功填满数据栏。
"Mark, now let you predict again, what do you think the next three quarters will be like?" Mike Breen laughed.
"In this situation, I will definitely choose Sacramento to win. You know, sometimes it is not easy to win!" Mark Jackson said.
"What do you mean?" Mike Brin said deliberately.
"Mike, you don't understand?" Mark Jackson asked back.
Section 2 started soon.
The Knicks attacked here, and Jeffries made a layup from the basket, rewriting the score to 33:22.
Bobby Jackson dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai who moved without the ball.
Xie Kai took the ball to the left wing and hit the ground to Diogu under the basket.
Diogu's consciousness paused, he didn't react, and was intercepted by Quentin Richardson!
Quentin Richardson gave the ball to Nate Robinson, who ran all the way, chasing him for 3 points-Xie Kaigai, who was overtaken, went out of the sideline!
The king's bench lineup was jubilant, and Nate Robinson was the dunk king, who surpassed Yao Ming back then.But the problem is that he is only 175cm. No matter how good his bounce is, the difference in height and wingspan between him and Xie Kai is more than 20cm.Not to mention that today's Xie Kai is not bad at bouncing.
Nate Robinson complained to the referee that Shay's drive was a foul.But the slow motion of the scene showed that Xie Kai blocked the ball cleanly and there was no foul at all!
The Knicks continued to attack.
Nate Robinson came out to catch the ball, facing Xie Kai's defense, he used Wilcox's pick-and-roll on the left wing, broke through the center with the ball, forced to the basket, and made a layup-he was nailed by Xie Kai!
Xie Kai contributed two blocks in this defensive round!
