Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

As the sun set, Madison Square was booed one after another.

These are all “welcomes” to the Orlando Magic.

The strong smell of gunpowder filled the audience.

Howard, in particular, was strongly targeted.

The live DJ also had to push the players into the stadium too hard than before, as if intending to shout his throat from the opening.

Especially when Li Wan appeared:

“King of New York! ”

“King of New York! ”

“King of New York! ”

……

The shaking of the earth is not enough to describe Madison Square at this moment.

Crazy shouts, and a pious and fanatical look, I don’t know, I thought I was really worshipping “God”!

If you take out the sonometer for testing at this moment, you will find that at least 140+ or more…

You know, the decibel of broken glass is about 130.

New York fans put their attitude on their faces:

Shh

The scolding battle before the game made the two sides have little communication, and they each prepared.

The big screen quickly gave the lineup on both sides:

“New York Knicks: No. 1 Lee Wan. No. 2 Ray Allen, No. 3 Artest, No. 4 Lewis, No. 5 Tyson Chandler; ”

“Magic: No. 1 Steve Nash, No. 2 Joe Johnson, No. 3 Techoglu, No. 4 Anderson, No. 5 Howard; ”

When he was about to play, Steve Nash brushed his hair, rubbed his hands with “Spit brand hand sanitizer”, and grabbed a handful of soles.

Howard had seen it a few times, but his heart was still vague.

In this world…

It’s still a lot of perverts!

He thought he was perverted enough, but he didn’t expect his new partner to be so perverted…

This may be why we are so compatible?

A “beep” sounded.

The expressions of the two men became serious.

Since the “night of the smash”, they have been waiting for this day for a long time!

In the middle of the court, Tyson Chandler and Howard have been fighting since the jumping ball. The “boxer” who touches the ball first is like winning the whole world.

There was also a sound of CALL.

The first ball of the New York Knicks, Li Wan showed emotional intelligence, covertly made a gesture towards Tyson Chandler, the latter understood, quickly walked out, Howard immediately followed, but his feet moved, Li Wan immediately a high throw, Tyson Chandler also stuck to him at this time, quickly turned, people looked up under the basket, the ball also flew above the basket, Pu fan’s big hands held the ball, complete the empty catch.

“Phew! ”

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the first game of the series between the New York Knicks and the Magic, Lee Wan and Tyson Chandler completed the air connection.

Howard’s expression froze.

Isn’t this meant to embarrass me?

Steve Nash took his expression in his eyes, turned back to the Magic attack, and he also quickly found the Howard position.

It’s just that Li Wan, who followed well at the beginning, quickly pulled back when his foot entered the three-point line, giving him space to shoot distance, but Howard under the basket was contracted by Li Wan and Tyson Chandler.

Passing requires space.

Even if Steve Nash is very skillful, he can’t pass the ball directly to the inside without giving space.

Just on the “towel chicken”, there is no cover, and there is no way to turn into a “roast chicken”.

Seeing that the formation was about to fall into position, Steve Nash decisively shot the distance, this “180 club member” is not blown out, it is indeed stable, Li Wan returned to defend when he jumped up to shoot, but still could only watch him finish the goal.

2-2 draw!

Steve Nash looked towards Howard the first time he saw the ball.

I saw that although the “Warcraft” said “nice, nice” on his mouth, his brows were always wrinkled. His appearance made Steve Nash not smile on his face.

I also secretly thought in my heart:

Bad!

He has been working with Howard for more than 2 months, not to mention how much he knows, but what kind of state this “Warcraft” on the court is, Nash still has some experience.

Don’t look at this guy giggling all day, but for the team status, that’s really great…

Nash thought of a word that did not affect the feelings of the two people so much:

Susceptible!

“Children of the Wind” also gradually found a way to stabilize Howard’s mood after running-in:

Without him, enough shots!

Just like the current Magic team, Howard averages 16.5 shots per game, the highest on the entire team, and more than a little higher than everyone else.

Joe Johnson, who finished second on the team, averaged 12.4 shots per game…

Also, there is one more thing to note…

Looking back, Steve Nash always wanted to cry when it wasn’t enough to guarantee Howard’s right to shoot.

Although sending “cake” to his inside partner is his strength, but…

Howard will do nothing but those two strokes under the basket!

Unlike Xiaosi, he has always improved, from the basket to the mid-range shot, and then to the footsteps of the ball, Xiaosi stepped out of the “rough brother circle” step by step.

What about Howard?

After so many years, it is still a turning hook under the basket!

Guaranteed guy like this, averaging 16.5 shots per game…

Steve Nash: Do you know how much hair I lost because of this?

“Children of the Wind” felt that if he cooperated with Howard for a few years, he was afraid that this alliance would have one more “Orlando Manu”.

The only difference is:

Manu was bald.

He was bald by “Xue”!

The “cake maker” met such a difficult “cake eater” for the first time.

The other thing is…

Make sure he can give a counterattack in time.

For example, now, Tyson Chandler scores, Steve Nash must immediately help Howard return one, so that he is willing to actively cooperate with Steve Nash.

This is “Warcraft” …

A 27-year-old kid who hasn’t grown up yet!

You say, can Steve Nash laugh?

But I also have to admit that this guy’s defensive ability and frame protection ability are indeed several times stronger than Xiao Si, which is why he is willing to sacrifice.

Really no joke at all…

In Steve Nash’s opinion, the most promising time for him to win the championship is not the 04~05 season, but this season!

The defense has Howard, the offense has him to deal with, and the attack has Joe Johnson, the league’s top “singles player”.

However, Li Wan really wanted to force him to death…

The Knicks’ second offense, Levan just after halftime, began to “eye-to-eye” with Tyson Chandler, but this round Howard showed his top defensive awareness, Tyson Chandler twice in a row fake forward to block, failed to fool him.

Seeing this, Li Wan did not pretend, there was a showdown, I will play this ball myself!

Facing Steve Nash, the sudden pull up, the ball hit steadily.

When playing the Hawks in the last round, Li Wan felt that the slight changes brought about by Leonard’s static talent not only did not affect Li Wan’s shooting, but made him more relaxed when making moves.

Take this sudden pull-up, if it was before, Li Wan would definitely not be able to do it so smoothly.

Steve Nash didn’t even react…

The whole action, without the slightest stagnation.

The ball went into the basket, and there was another huge cheer.

Nash breathed a sigh of relief, at this time he was “named”, but it was a better result, in the end…

Is it better than another dunk by Tyson Chandler?

This has to be done again, and the “Warcraft” must be blown up.

Taking advantage of “Oops, Oops, OMG,” Steve Nash looked for opportunities to give Howard a pass. But today’s Li Wan knows too well about defense.

Block him from the outside of the three-point line, as long as he enters the inside, Li Wan will immediately go to the basket to help defend Howard and prevent him from taking the ball. It’s like a look of “you want to score, Uncle Li doesn’t stop you, you want to assist, then sorry, the assist is not what you want to pass, you can pass if you want”.

Faintly, Steve Nash felt that this picture was a little familiar…

But this time he didn’t shoot, but forced a pass towards the basket, and finally at a small angle, the ball flew out of his hand to Howard.

The “Warcraft” was just about to reach out, but Li Wan intercepted the ball one step ahead.

No. 1 understands No. 1, just Steve Nash’s eyes are full of determination to pass the ball…

The New York Knicks’ fast-on-the-go counterattack.

Score quickly.

The Magic’s return speed was already fast, but they still couldn’t stop the Knicks’ offense, and Artest finished the shot.

“Sorry, man, mine! ”

Steve Nash gestured toward Howard.

“Warcraft” thought that he had just been surrounded by “rice dumplings”, and Nash actually thought of sending the ball towards his hand, it was really …

What a brother!

“Man, if you have the opportunity, you can attack yourself, don’t worry, the rebounds are all handed over to me!” ”

Howard was very touched and said something heartfelt to Steve Nash.

Upon hearing this, Steve Nash felt that his mistake was not in vain. At the same time, he didn’t expect it a little …

Did this strategy succeed?

Children, it’s good to coax!

However, the success of the strategy is only the first step, just so that Steve Nash can handle the ball according to his own ideas, and now the situation is…

The entire defensive formation of the New York Knicks is not concentrated on him at all, and it has always been Li Wan’s single defense, and even, after Li Wan enters the three-point line, he will immediately distance himself from him and wrap under the basket at any time.

This tastes…

Make Steve Nash more and more familiar!

When he reacted, he almost burst into foul language!

“Isn’t that how the Spurs defended the Suns? ”

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines also saw the trickiness.

The Suns in the 04~05 season swept the entire league like a “dark horse” and went all the way to the Western Conference Finals, but on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, they were swept by the Spurs 4-1 gentlemen.

It was also because the gap with the Spurs was too large that the Suns management believed that the Suns had reached its limit and chose to sell Joe Johnson.

One of the Spurs’ main defensive strategies at the time was to let Steve Nash shoot casually, but just didn’t give him the opportunity to pass the ball easily to his teammates…

This move directly abolished the “hacker” Marion who entered the heavens and the earth.

Marion, who averaged 20 points per game in the regular season, did not even average 10 points per game in this series.

Now the Knicks use the same move, and the person who was scrapped has become Anderson the winner of the “Most Improved Player Award”.

Anderson, who averaged 16.6 points per game in the regular season and 18 points per game in the first round of the playoffs, scored only two points at the end of the first quarter of this game.

It was still obtained by making foul free throws while attacking the basket.

At that time, Su Qun thought: “It is unrealistic to expect Anderson to score like this!” ”

Then for the rest of the first quarter, he really didn’t take a point!

The New York Knicks led 35-30 and 5 points into the second quarter.

D’Antoni watched the end of the first quarter and listened to the beep with memories in his eyes.

This powerful Magic team naturally gave them both a headache, but one day, Mike Brown suddenly took a disc and put it in front of him for him to study.

As soon as he heard that it was “study material”, “mustache” could not help it at that time, and opened it with excitement.

Outcome……

It was a nightmare for him in the ’05 Western Conference Finals.

He looked at Mike Brown suspiciously:

What are you doing?

Are you going to uncover the scars?

If you want to play like this, then I will go tomorrow and take the first round of the Cavaliers and the Magic in the 09~10 season to learn!

Mike Brown saw that he still didn’t understand, and said:

“Don’t you think that this Magic team is very similar to the Suns in the 04~05 season? ”

The same Steve Nash remote control, the same rough inside “pie eater”, and the same group of teammates who are good at picking up cakes…

Don’t say, it’s really similar!

“How about we learn from the best managers? ”

Popovich’s defensive method can actually easily eliminate the peak Suns, which must have a strong restraint effect!

D’Antoni initially refused.

Isn’t this tantamount to admitting that he is inferior to Popovich?

But now that he runs out, he only has two words:

What a fragrance!

However, compared to some injury problems encountered by the Suns at that time, the Magic team was fully healthy, and Howard in this period was more offensive and defensive than Xiaosi at that time.

Therefore, although the Magic team has been passively beaten, the score difference has never been opened, and it still floats between 3~5 points.

Howard had four points, five rebounds and two blocks in a single quarter.

Among them, 4 points were scored by his second attack after grabbing the rebound!

It is no exaggeration to say that Howard at this time is at his best, originally he was called the “league’s first center” during this period, and the Magic sent him away could not meet his requirements, could not give matching teammates, and the whole public opinion was favorable to Howard.

Compared to the departure of Shaq O’Neill, Howard can be said to have left with his head held high…

Compared with him, Tyson Chandler does not have such a great deterrent on the defensive end, and now he is at best a quasi-“best defensive team”, which is far from Howard’s “Best Defensive Player Award” level.

Whether it is rebounding or blocks, Tyson Chandler is not as good as Howard, and he only has 3 rebounds and 1 block after the first quarter.

But the New York Knicks have more rebounds than the Magic…

They had 12 rebounds in a single quarter, while the Magic had just 10 rebounds, two less rebounds. Tyson Chandler’s missing rebound, Lee Wan added to him.

Li Wan had 5 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists throughout the first quarter, and almost hit a “555” in a single quarter.

Meanwhile, Tyson Chandler scored six points in the first quarter.

The offensive end scored more calmly than Howard, so that when facing Howard, he did not have to be weak at all, but would glance at it intentionally or unintentionally after each dunk score:

Just this defense still wants to steal the “Best Defensive Player Award” from me!

In the second quarter, D’Antoni continued to “draw a tiger according to the cat” and sanctioned the Suns according to Popovich’s routine that year.

The first is to continue to maintain a rapid confrontation.

This, Li Wan’s existence, so that he does not have to worry at all.

Stan Van Gundy tried to get Joe Johnson to defend Li Van, but Li Wan was always looking for a blocking match with Tyson Chandler and did not go head-to-head with Johnson at all.

And……

The New York Knicks dared to let Steve Nash shoot.

Even though Nash scored eight points in the first quarter, the Knicks were still blocking his passes in the second quarter and continuing to give him shooting space.

The Magic team’s side…

But he didn’t dare to let Li Wan make a move!

Although experts are saying that Nash can become a “scoring king” if he is selfish, his “scoring king” is a hypothetical “scoring king”.

Li Wan is a real “scoring king” for two consecutive times, plus some “miracles” after he played crazy…

As the head coach Stan Van Gundy who once knew Li Wan best, he didn’t know if others dared, anyway, he didn’t dare!

Without a defensive supplement, even if it’s only one-on-one, some guys with excellent abilities can always create empty spaces.

It’s like…

“Three-point king of history” Ray Allen!

Quite explosive running, throwing off Steve Nash, the moment he reached the flank, Li Wan’s pass was also in front of him.

Raise your hand and vote!

When the ball is shot, Steve Nashkan intercepts it, and the ball is like an off-string arrow, straight into the basket, and it is called a dashing shot!

At 7:11 in the second quarter, the New York Knicks unwittingly established a double-digit margin.

But D’Antoni’s “parody show” is not over, and the New York Knicks then completely “stared at people” tactics, leaving the Magic trapped in “singles with the ball”.

Steve Nash glanced at D’Antoni with some pain.

Have you forgotten that you were also a victim in the first place?

Wow!

Is there really no way to live?

Li Wan looked at Nash’s expression, if he was in the live broadcast world, he felt that these two people had to eat a meal of “Li Zhuang white meat”…

Stan Van Gundy called a timeout.

The essence of “run-and-bomb tactics” is to find the fastest way to score through team cooperation.

Singles and “run and bomb” are two tactics that are completely incompatible.

This is also the reason why the Spurs forced the Suns into a “singles” situation at that time, and the Suns quickly could not keep up with the pace of scoring.

But……

Joe Johnson’s eyes are full of determination.

At this moment, everyone can see that D’Antoni is putting this “dirt rebirth”!

For the Western Conference Finals of the 04~05 season, “Eagle King” has always had regrets, because he suffered an injury at that time and was not in the best condition.

Now, standing in the same situation again, he wants to prove his growth over the years, and…

Make up for the regrets of the year!

The game resumed…

The Magic’s adjustment was clear, and they started creating more of an environment for Joe Johnson to play low-post singles.

As one of the league’s best players who combine ball and body, Johnson is also a top-level presence in “floor flow”.

Against Ray Allen, he played two or three in a row, and when the New York Knicks replaced Artest to limit, the “Eagle King” did not covet the thrill of scoring a single goal, and quickly gave the ball to Tkoglu.

“Turkish agent” singles Ray Allen, easily ran over, completed the shot.

This is the second arrangement that just now that paused, Stan Van Gundy said:

Once the opponent changes defense, then “name the military training” Ray Allen!

“Gentleman Ray”‘s defensive ability has always been okay, but that was also a year or two ago, when Ray Allen was only 35 years old, and now Ray Allen is 37 years old…

Tekoglu’s score, combined with Joe Johnson’s constant scoring, allowed the Orlando Suns to close the gap back to five points before the whistle blew the end of the second quarter.

“Is he? ”

“It’s him! ”

“Is he? ”

“It’s him! ”

“Why are you so strong now? ”

“At that time, he was still injured and very young! ”

“Since that’s the case, then there’s nothing to say, Shang Li Wan! ”

……

It was halftime, a conversation that took place on the Knicks coaching staff.

In the second half, Li Wan was assigned to defend Joe Johnson.

Long before the start of the playoffs, Li Wan had a conversation with D’Antoni and Mike Brown, and the first thing mentioned was:

If there is any unstoppable opponent arrow in the playoffs, leave it to me!

And now…

Now is the time!

Relying on singles to recover the score, the Magic team is not so impatient to watch.

Steve Nash did not forget to continue to attack Howard: “Man, don’t worry, in the second half I will send the ball to you whenever I have the opportunity…”

Howard was moved, but he didn’t forget the result of Steve Nash forcing him a pass, and with this heart, the “beast” was already happy, so he refused:

“Our goal is to win and continuing to give the ball to Joe is the right choice! ”

Steve Nash “nodded frantically” and said, “Dwight, you’re right!” ”

“Warcraft” …

Another burst of satisfaction!

It’s really fun to work with Nash~

The first goal of the second half belonged to the Magic.

Joe Johnson showed confidence and was noticeably more aggressive in the ball than he did in the first half.

Li Wan stopped in front of him at the first time.

For this, Joe Johnson is not surprised, calmly “back up style”, Li Wan is a very aggressive “front and back” defensive position, while he is close, he immediately strikes, destroying his center of gravity.

Those excellent singles players have their own rhythm, such as Kobe Bryant likes to catch the ball at the waist, after the back is probing, he shoots backwards, and Durant likes to use cover to go outside the three-point line to start attacking.

Once in rhythm, they can still throw the ball into the basket even with their hands over their eyes.

These are muscle responses under long-term training.

Therefore, excellent defenders are mainly based on disrupting the opponent’s offensive rhythm.

Li Wan also understood these truths before.

But knowing and being able to do it are two different things.

Now, the static talent has increased slightly, coupled with the “Death Entwined” badge that immediately lit up as soon as he was attached to Joe Johnson, made Li Wan a little more aggressive when doing these actions as usual.

Also……

“Mace” is indeed more lethal than ordinary “blocking elves”.

Joe Johnson also felt this sense of oppression, but the first goal that came up was the one that kept the momentum going, and as soon as he made contact, he was forced to pass the ball quickly, which was too deflating…

He tried to calm himself down, and quickly pushed back…

Three seconds, four seconds…

Joe Johnson’s back hit was about to reach 5 seconds, and the “Eagle King” hurriedly pushed harder, more forcefully than before, and Li Wan seemed to be pushed away, but when he turned around, he bumped into a pair of big hands.

Li Wan abruptly grabbed the ball from his hand.

！！！

Three big exclamation marks!

When this scene happened, whether it was the Orlando Magic gang or the New York Knicks gang, their faces unconsciously showed shock.

Joe Johnson’s singles ability in the first half made Mike Brown scratch his head and make the New York Knicks fans on the scene worry…

Although Li Wan was selected as the “Best Defense Team” for two consecutive years, he can finally stop this hot “singles king”.

Everyone, including D’Antoni and Mike Brown, who have always “believed”, have more or less worries and doubts in their hearts.

However, in only the first round, Li Wan proved with practical actions what “you can always trust Li Wan”!

Steals!

And it’s that kind of hard, unreasonable “bandit-like” steal!

I also didn’t expect that when Li Wan held the ball quickly and had rushed into the Magic team’s basket, the Magic team reacted, but at this time, they could only appreciate Li Wan’s handsome dunk.

Li Wan entered the free throw line, glanced back, saw that no one was catching up, he took two steps forward, and then, with a 360-degree turn, he dunked and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

“MVP！ ”

“MVP！ ”

“MVP！ ”

As soon as the second half came up, the entire audience was detonated by Li Wan’s attack and defense.

Joe Johnson stood awkwardly, but his teammates were willing to believe him and continued to give the ball to his hand and let him single.

Li Wan once again posted strongly when he received the ball, and it was the same way he just did, constantly disrupting Joe Johnson’s singles rhythm.

Leonard’s defense is notoriously clean, and the number of fouls in his career is about the same as the number of steals… This, really scary!

But it is worth saying that whether it is Michael Jordan and “Glove” Gary Payton, their defense in the 90s is actually clean, at least at that time, there is no way to find a cleaner defense than them, most of them are small defensive movements, the defensive effect is not as good as the two of them.

One of the representative players is mentioned:

Bryant!

However, his actions are no longer small, his direct intensity, all kinds of big movements to fight to meet his personal abnormal psychology.

But in such a situation, his defensive quality is still inferior to Michael Jordan and a few of them.

The reason for this…

Static talent is a lot worse.

Looking at the outside defenders at the level of the NBA’s “Best Defensive Player Award”, all of them are the “chosen sons” with top static talent.

They don’t need to make any small movements at all, like Li Wan now, who almost stabbed the ball out of Joe Johnson’s hand with a flick of his long arm.

At this time, Johnson has used the “back hitting technique” and used the back top, but it will still be destroyed.

For these talented people, it is really “a slight shot, which is the limit of a group of people”…

Li Wan’s original static talent was very good, the sub-top level, and now after loading the Leonard template, he came to the historical level of static talent.

Add to this the qualitative change in defensive consciousness from 89 to 90.

Now his defensive ability is probably equivalent to Leonard who played the first finals, and when he trains his strength in the summer, it will definitely be another Leonard…

But even if it is “incomplete”, against Joe Johnson, a second-order singles player, there is no problem at all.

“Bang! ”

Once again, Joe Johnson barely missed the shot.

Howard desperately protected the rebound and landed the moment.

“Snap! ”

Tyson Chandler’s hand, that is called a “steady and ruthless”!

Howard was stunned for a moment, and then showed an incredulous expression:

Are you human?

Steve Nash, too, looked at D’Antoni again:

Be an individual!

We’re all like that…

You guys actually want to “chop Huo”!

Hehe~

At the same time as the whistle sounded, a faint smile appeared on D’Antoni’s face.

Although “drawing the tiger according to the cat” has achieved some advantages, this advantage is not great, and the “mustache” feels that it is necessary for him to “be better than the blue” …

It’s time to show, his “art of defense”!

This Magic team is indeed very similar to the original Suns, and even, the intensity is even greater, after all, the Suns did not have such a top frame protection ability, nor did they have such a strong ability to hold the ball and play singles.

But this team also has places that are inferior to the Suns, such as…

The free throw ability of the family forward is not as good as that of Xiao Si back then!

“Bang! ”

“Bang! ”

Howard then also dropped both free throws at the free throw line, proving it.

The New York Knicks picked up offensive rights for a round.

Li Wan, as a playmaker, blocked the ball to the outside, Steve Nash ran away again, Ray Allen attracted the addition of Turkoglu, gave the ball to Artest, and the defender in front of Artest became Anderson, which proves that “the Magic’s ability to change defense and complement defense has indeed formed a tacit understanding under the tuning of Stan Van Gundy”, but there is no supplement, plus it is all changing defense, and the person who finally rushed to Lewis is Steve Nash.

After Lewis received the ball, he even stopped to eat two dishes before making a three-pointer, and Steve Nash still did not form an effective interference.

“Ugh! ”

Three-point score!

In the following time, the Knicks continued to adhere to the current defensive strategy, and the “people staring at people” were resolutely not included, and forced the opposite side to hold the ball and play singles.

Joe Johnson is the Magic’s most confident player in singles with the ball.

But in the two battles with Li Wan, he felt like a chicken meeting a battle-hardened old bustard. If you can barely make a move, it is already the limit, whether you can enter or not, it all depends on the goddess of luck to see whether he is smooth or not.

If he can’t stand up, the rest of the Magic team can’t stand up even more.

Offensive efficiency plummeted.

And Howard’s “secondary offense”, which was quite eye-catching in the first half, also disappeared in the Knicks’ “hacking tactics”.

The Knicks’ “hack-and-hop tactic” is not continuous, but is used when Howard grabs an offensive rebound or can easily score.

Again, Howard’s secondary offensive ability at his peak is here, and the first half proved it, and in such a situation, “chopping Ho” is a way to make his score harder.

Therefore, when Howard can get an easy scoring opportunity, the Knicks will also “cut Huo”.

Throughout the third quarter, Howard made a total of 13 free throws, except for a “2 plus 1” extra free throw, and a frame-making foul, all of which were deliberately “chopped” by the Knicks.

Howard, who had little chance to exert his strength in the first half, was already upset, and now every “chop” of the Knicks is still so irritating, he has a terrible performance at the free throw line, only 3 of 13 free throws.

The Knicks also opened the gap by 12 points in the third quarter.

In the end, 109 to 94.

The New York Knicks won the first game of the series by 15 points.

Li Wan recorded 24 points, 9 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

The scoring figures are a significant drop from the previous series.

But in terms of efficiency, 58% shooting percentage is terrifying.

Whether it’s Steve Nash or Tekoglu, the defensive interference for Li Wan is almost zero, and Joe Johnson, the only thing that can have some impact, is also thrown into the offensive end and cannot concentrate his full strength.

But because the number of shots is small, Li Wan’s score is not outstanding.

Of course, 24 points is still the highest score for the Knicks.

Li Wan’s offensive end was more about attracting passes after the clip, and he scored 15 assists.

The energy saved was spent on Joe Johnson, who shot 5 of 8 in the first half and 3-of-8 from the field in the second half, shooting 37.5 percent from the field.

Li Wan’s evaluation of his defensive results is only four words:

Fair!

You know, Leonard at his peak can limit his opponent’s shooting percentage to 37% no matter which outside supergiant he plays against in the league!

Whether it is LeBron James or “Brother Alphabet”, they can only rub his two pairs of big hands, showing an expression of wanting to cry.

Li Wan is now just the next order and is beginning to slide from the peak of the Joe Johnson limit…

mada mada dane！

The “Supersonics Twins” performed a powerful game, the two made a total of 10 three-pointers, and their brave firepower allowed Li Wan’an to focus on the defensive end.

Tyson Chandler ended up with 13 points and 7 rebounds in this game, which was similar to his usual but enough for him to stand crossed in front of Howard.

Because although Howard grabbed 20 rebounds and gave away 3 blocks in this game, he scored only 10 points.

It’s not the same as when the Spurs let go of S and locked up others.

The New York Knicks’ defensive focus is Anderson and Howard, after all, although Turkoglu on the outside has 3-point ability, he needs to play with the ball for more ability…

When the ball is in Steve Nash’s hands, Turkoglu is already standing in front of a Knicks defender watching!

Joe Johnson and Steve Nash were the Magic’s top scorers in the game.

Joe Johnson scored 19 points, 12 of which came in the first half and only seven in the second half…

Steve Nash scored 25 points!

Well……

Like the Spurs that year, Steve Nash was also a part of the New York Knicks who let go, wanted to score casually, wanted to assist, and had no goal.

Although Steve Nash still handed out 9 assists.

But in the fourth quarter, he made 3 consecutive mistakes…

The reason for the mistake is also very simple:

Tired!

The large number of ball-carrying attacks has made his physical energy drain faster than usual, and coupled with the fact that he has not been playing in the rhythm he is more accustomed to, the mental pressure also makes him feel more tired.

1-0！

With D’Antonis’ routine of “better than blue”, the Knicks restrained the Magic and easily won the first game of the series…
