O'Neal, who has always been cautious, couldn't bear it when his juniors acted wildly in front of him. In the next round of attack, O'Neal went low to get the ball. After receiving the ball, O'Neal took advantage of his tonnage to beat Noah. After turning around, his elbow scratched the Frenchman's face. The Frenchman

He just covered his face and took two steps back, watched the Shark dunk, and then pointed at his face and complained to the referee.

Noah must have suffered a hidden loss with this goal, but the referee gave the Sharks a star whistle and chose to ignore it. Noah was very angry. In the next round, Noah received Rose's breakthrough pass and the opportunity

In a bad situation, he tried to dunk O'Neal forcefully. Although he didn't score, he got a foul on O'Neal.

The whistleblower for this goal was a bit far-fetched, but O'Neal, who had taken advantage of the situation before, didn't say much and was directly replaced by Ke Yan.

When Noah took free throws, his posture was not ugly, and his efficiency was average. He made one of two free throws. (14:12)

Love grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Curry, who was advancing quickly. The Knicks launched a fast break. The Bulls were a little confused during the retreat. Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and made a fake move to open Crawford's hand.

Germany, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer, hitting the iron again.

"In the NCAA, Curry is a high-quality shooter, but there is a real problem with his shot selection. When his confidence is at the peak, some of his shots are too hasty." He made two consecutive fast-break three-pointers.

Even Buckley didn't believe that this was Ke Yan's arrangement.

However, the ball did not go in, but the Knicks players had no objections, which more or less proved that Ke Yan recognized and even supported Curry's play.

When the Bulls attacked, Luol Deng used Noah's screen to get up to the line to catch the ball. He misplaced the ball and beat Love. He took a step past Love and was carried back. He then directly shot a fadeaway jumper, but failed to hit.

Deng Yingqiao has good body, shooting, running position, and defensive awareness. However, his ball-holding ability is a bit poor. Against Love, who is not very fast at the fourth position, he still cannot get rid of the defense.

It was rare to complete a successful defense, and Love also made some gains on the offensive end. Ke Yan's iconic high pick-and-roll, Curry contained Thomas's defensive ball and gave it to Love, who made a mid-range shot! (16:12)

"Although the shot selection is a bit irrational, Curry's passing time and starting point are quite good! He has 3 assists so far." Yuga praised.

Don't look at the coverage of the Hawks and Knicks when Paul and Curry completed these assists lightly. The other two major broadcasters, the Rockets and the Lakers, have never had a point guard with such a passing level. Especially the Rockets,

There has never been a qualified point guard who could allow Yao Ming to catch the ball comfortably and launch an attack! This also makes Chinese fans often scold him.

Compared with the Knicks' well-organized offense, the Bulls' attack point is single and the ball is completely concentrated on the perimeter. The problem is more serious than last season! Crawford's gorgeous behind-the-back dribbling evaded Curry's defense, but

The subsequent throw was interfered by Brad Miller and hit the front of the basket.

Mike Miller, who was inside, protected the rebound and directly held the ball to advance in transition. He passed the ball to Larry Hughes and broke into the basket, causing Thomas to foul.

At the eighth minute of the first quarter, Ke Yan began to rotate the lineup, with Holiday and Matthews replacing Hughes and Mike Miller. The Knicks' lineup on the field became "one old and four new."

It was also his career debut. Holiday replaced Hughes to defend Rose. The effect was surprisingly good. Not only could he keep up with Rose's movements, he was also good at running around screens to ensure that his position was as stuck in front of Rose as possible.

Maximize the impact on Rose's shots.

"Wow! Holiday's defense is good!" Holiday defended Rose's offense for the third time in a row. Zhang Lili couldn't help but admired.

Compared with offense, defense consumes a lot of energy, and the players' efforts on the defensive end will not be seen by the fans. But as a former national player, Zhang Lili can easily see Holiday's defensive efforts.

Skill.

Rose's offense was frustrated at this point, and the Bulls fell into a scoring drought at the end of the first quarter. After the first quarter, the Knicks led the Bulls by 11 points, 33:22!

After the first quarter, Curry, Love and Brad Miller took a rest. Duhon, Arthur, and Jeffries came on. The Knicks all came on the bench, and their offensive firepower dropped significantly.

For the Bulls, Rose continued to play, partnering with Hinrich.

The latter is an excellent point guard who plays on the floor. His style of play is somewhat similar to Dragic. He was once selected for the Dream Seven Team and has a bright future. As a result, the Bulls got Rose and put Hinrich on a different team.

Suitable sixth man position.

Hinrich is not an attacker like Barea, who can forcefully cause damage when the lineup is at a disadvantage; nor is he like Chalmers, who has considerable ability without the ball and can play with the main lineup. He needs the ball and his teammates.

Cooperation. When paired with Rose, Hinrich acted more as a space point and played very awkwardly on the court.

Fortunately, Rose recovered somewhat after the inter-quarter break. He continued to charge towards the Knicks' basket. Holiday's defense in the second half of the first quarter was quite good, but Yin Shi was a little overwhelmed in the second quarter.

They couldn't stop Rose's wild behavior; Jeffries and Arthur's defensive attitude was pretty good, but except for fouls, they couldn't stop the attacking Rose.

After all, he is a "super-giant youngster" and possesses the top physical talent of this generation of defenders. How can he be locked up so easily?

However, Rose was the only one on the Bulls who could produce stable output, and his scoring efficiency was not high. When Ke Yan put the starting players on the field again at 6 minutes of the second quarter, the score was 40:34, and the team still enjoyed 6

points lead.

The starting players reappeared, and the Knicks' offensive deterrence improved by more than one level. O'Neal, in particular, played very efficiently against the Bulls' too "thin" inside line. After the continuous attack, the Bulls adopted the "shark-cutting" approach.

Tactics", send O'Neal to the free throw line!

Facts have proved that the 21 at the beginning of the game was just a "shock", and O'Neal's free throws were not worth looking forward to. After a wave of 2 of 8 free throws at the free throw line, Ke Yan was forced to replace Brad Miller.

Get off O'Neal.

When O'Neal is present, the Knicks play "i". When O'Neal is not present, the team plays the "5-out" position, using the shooting abilities of Love and Brad Miller to widen the Bulls' defensive area to the greatest extent, making the opponent's

The penalty area is "hollow"; both Love and Brad Miller have considerable support capabilities, and the Bulls' defense is somewhat focused on one thing and not the other.

At the end of the half, the Knicks led 59:48 by 11 points and entered the intermission.

In the locker room, Ke Yan praised the players:

"I said that as long as we can play our own level, we will be at least the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. In the first half of the game, you played very well and gained a big advantage. Continue to work hard in the second half. Last season

I played against this Bulls team in the playoffs, and their style of play is very tenacious, so don’t be careless!"

"Stephen, don't doubt your ability! As long as you find your own rhythm, you can take action. I believe in your ability!"

In the first half of the game, Curry scored 7 points on 3 of 8 shots, including 4 shots from beyond the three-point line and only hit 1 ball. Ke Yan gave him some encouragement in a timely manner and supported him to continue taking shots.

It is not ruled out that some teammates are dissatisfied with Curry's "royal" status in the team, but in training, Curry has the ability to explode from beyond the three-point line. And although the management and coaching team have a preference for Curry.

, but Curry himself has no flaws as a person. He carries the veteran's bags when he should, and he doesn't get offended even if he is tricked. Most people still like him very much.

In the Bulls locker room, Nigro was comforting Rose's slightly frustrated mood.

"Derek, you and Noah should play pick-and-rolls, look for opportunities to challenge O'Neal, and attack the basket if you have the chance. If the opponent doubles up, share it with your teammates; Rolle, Jamal, you also have to bear part of the ball.

, share the pressure on Derek."

The 15 minutes of the intermission ended quickly. At the beginning of the second half, the Bulls began to control the ball with Crawford. Ke 6 first shook Curry continuously and then hit a pull-up jumper; then he broke into the basket and deceived O'Neal.

While fouling, he sent the ball into the basket!

After making the extra free throw, Crawford scored five points in a row to help the team narrow the point difference.

Ke Yan responded quickly and replaced Hughes with Holiday. When Crawford held the ball, he timely flanked and released Rose on the outside.

Compared with the super breakthrough threat, Rose's mid-range shooting is an obvious shortcoming. Last season's outside shooting rate was only 22%, which is a level that dares to shoot but basically depends on the weather.

Rose's movement without the ball is quite acceptable, but Crawford is not Ginobili, and the term "passing vision" is basically the opposite of him.

A brief change of tactics during the midfield was instantly broken by Ke Yan, and the Bulls' offensive routine returned to the old path dominated by Rose alone. Against the Knicks' weak interior defense, Rose can indeed guarantee a pretty good offensive efficiency.

But this is just "drinking poison to quench thirst" after all. After all, Rose also has his own physical limits, and he cannot support the team's offense for a whole game!

Conversely, on the defensive end, regardless of whether O'Neal is on the court or not, the Knicks' two offensive systems have caused great pain to the Bulls! Just looking at this game, Crawford is indeed "good", but the old Miller and the Knicks

It’s also seamless!

Rose's hard support helped the Bulls not open the score in the third quarter; but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Rose finally came off the court to rest, the Knicks attacked with all their main force and scored 7:0 within 2 minutes.

A small climax directly opened the point difference to 20 points! The game almost lost its suspense.

The rest of the time is a happy time for the home fans and Keyan. Madison Square Garden has not been so lively for a long time!

Rose briefly returned to the court to help the team chase points, but it was still a bit inadequate. On the contrary, Holiday, who had made great contributions on the defensive end before, scored seven points in a row in the fourth quarter, helping the team firmly hold on to a 20-point lead.

Entering the last 5 minutes, the score difference was still 22 points. Nigro surrendered and replaced the main players. After one round, Ke Yan also replaced the water dispenser players on the court to cause trouble, and Sun Yue also got the opportunity to make his debut.

At the last moment of the game, Sun Yue blocked the shot of little potato Nate Robinson, and used his height and arm length advantage to grab the basketball, launch a fast break, and assist Matthews to complete the dunk!

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Bulls 122:105 and won their first victory of the season.

In the whole game, O'Neal made 9 of 13 shots, 5 of 16 free throws, and scored 23 points and 6 rebounds. His efficiency was acceptable, but his effect was even greater! His destructive power of repeatedly overpowering the Bulls' two young insiders definitely changed the trend of the game.

The essential!

Kevin Love scored a huge double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds! Love played 34 minutes in the whole game and was the player with the longest playing time on the team. From this, we can also see that Ke Yan attaches great importance to him.

Many fans also regard him as Ke Yan's Diaw in the Knicks.

On the contrary, Curry, who has fans looking forward to it, was "slightly dull" in this game. He made 6 of 15 shots in the game, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 13 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

In fact, this data is not inferior to the opponent Rose's "11 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 turnovers" in his NBA debut! But because Ke Yan has whetted the fans' appetite, the fans are more or less regretful.

I wish Curry could become McAway!

There is another point that makes Curry controversial. He shot two fast-break three-pointers in the first half, but failed to hit. This kind of shooting choice made many basketball people a little puzzled, and it was inevitable that they also took it.

Some rhythm.

Faced with these voices, Ke Yan directly complained at the post-game press conference: "If you can't see Curry's contribution in this game, then I think your understanding of basketball is still very shallow. Maybe street basketball is more

suits you."

Among NBA coaches, Ke Yan has always been more "gentle and gentle". This time he forced himself to stand up for Curry and fired the map cannon, which also surprised many people.

Knicks fans also expressed support for Curry online.

"What I want to say is that Curry's 7 three-point shots included a catch with a 24-second countdown. Putting aside this passive shot, his three-point shooting rate was 2 of 6, which is qualified for his debut.

Right? Do we have to care about how he attacks?"

"To tell you a joke, a rookie contributed 138 points as the starting point guard and helped the team win. Then a group of experts questioned his shot selection? Why don't you question Kobe?"

"In the past five seasons, Paul is the only point guard whose debut performance was better than Curry's."

"Even Messi has been dormant for almost half a season after entering the first team!"

The voices surrounding Curry are gradually increasing, which is what Ke Yan hopes to see. The higher Curry's "prestige value", the acceptance of Curry's leadership position by other Knicks players will also subtly increase.

This will make Curry more daring to shoulder some responsibilities.
