Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Is tonight a Super Sixth Man showdown?

Yes and no!

From the first quarter to the official timeout, it was Manu Ginobili and Crawford who indeed dominated their respective teams. Especially Crawford, who really fed the ball, from the left to Draghi.

Qi, and even David Lee, would immediately choose to hand over to Crawford when faced with a defense.

Director Zhang joked: "At this moment, I don't know if Crawford has realized what kind of treatment Kobe Bryant is."

The Knicks really used Crawford as Kobe Bryant in these six minutes. He stood on the left to pick and roll and grab rebounds. Dragic was responsible for dribbling the ball through half court, and David Lee was responsible for stretching from the bottom corner to respond at any time.

Battier defends the opponent's top guard at the third position. Except for Kobe Bryant and last year's James from the Cavaliers, there is probably no third star who has this kind of treatment.

However, Crawford did not live up to the trust of the Knicks. Although the scene seemed a bit chaotic, the Knicks' strict tactical system in the past could not be seen, and the defense was also due to too many substitutions, coupled with the defensive level of David Lee and others.

Due to the restrictions, some people were missed and there was no tacit understanding, but just looking at the offense, it was still very good.

After all, in six minutes, he was able to make 5 of 7 shots, including 2 three-pointers and 2 free throws. Crawford, who scored 14 points in 6 minutes, really showed the "knife" side of his nerves.

Revealed.

It has to be said that Crawford's only problem is his instability. When he is accurate, he is really accurate. He can throw the basketball into the basket no matter what, but when he is not accurate, he is so tough that no one can do it.

This may be the secret of Neuro Knife.

This is also the reason why players such as Lu Wei, Terry, Jr. Smith and other players cannot become stars. After all, stars still need to produce stable output.

Of course, the same goes for Manu.

Although he didn't score as much as Crawford tonight, he still contributed 9 points and 2 assists in the first half of the quarter. Two of his spectacular scenes of breaking through the paint and passing the ball to Duncan made the fans exclaim.

Barkley said that this guy feels a bit like Jason Williams.

Who is Jason Williams?

That's the famous white chocolate, the representative figure of one person passing the ball and nine people panicking!

But if Demon Sword Manu can pass the ball, he will not lose to White Chocolate.

Mainly because I was also frightened. I didn't see Popovich and wanted to replace him several times, but I resisted.

Because of Manu's performance, the Spurs never fell behind. Regardless of the situation or the score, the two teams always stayed close to each other.

20-20, the two teams played an incredibly high score in the first 6 minutes.

I have to say that it is not easy for Ginobili to play under Popovich for so many years.

And with the full performance of these two players, the game cannot be ugly, but the scene is a bit chaotic, with all kinds of mistakes, wrong entrances and wrong exits, the scene is very thrilling.

Many experts were dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to praise or ridicule this scene.

And this is exactly the purpose of the Knicks!

A chaotic fight!

The reason why the Spurs are so good this season is because their starting five are orderly in chaos!

Ginobili is an uncontrollable x factor, but the tactical literacy of the rest of the Spurs, coupled with Popovich's training, has created an incredible chemical reaction for the Spurs.

Obviously the offensive tactics are very simple and the defensive level has also declined, but we can still win!

Especially the two games against the Lakers, they were simply a model of order amid chaos.

The Lakers were clearly the team with the upper hand, but they just couldn't close the gap. They clearly had the lead in the last ten seconds... but Ginobili could give you a killer shot.

Are you angry?

It’s no use being angry!

This is Ginobili's unique charm. Although he has many shortcomings and average dynamic and static talents, otherwise he would not have fallen into the hands of the Spurs, but most people really can't learn his talents.

So if we play hard against the Spurs as usual, we may not be sure to win. Even if the Spurs were defeated by the Grizzlies in the end, the main reason is that GDP has suffered injuries, and the reason for the injuries is that they used too much in the regular season.

The reason why there are too many and too many is mainly because the substitutes are not good enough!

The Spurs' bench this season is really bad. After clearing out Bowen and other veterans at the beginning of last season, the most qualified player on the Spurs' bench turned out to be Matt Bonner. Others such as Bobby Simon

Si, Gary Neal, and James Anderson all just arrived here not long ago, and their abilities are impressive, so it is difficult for them to take on big roles.

So we can only let the aging GDP move forward at full speed.

In fact, after 50 wins this season, the Spurs have already experienced various problems due to physical fitness and injuries. Otherwise, they could only barely win 9 of the last 20 games, and finally barely reached 61 wins.

In general, the reason why the Spurs were screwed is that Popovich wanted it too much, and the Spurs' main force was aging and their substitutes were weak.

So, since the substitutes are weak, how could the Knicks not prepare a big gift for the Spurs!

So after the official timeout, everyone discovered that Ke Liu's starting lineup and Manu's mutual show were just the appetizer of this game, and the real feast was yet to come!

Randolph, Curry, Danny Green, Bellinelli, plus Zuo Li!

This is the new lineup given by the Knicks after the timeout. Except for Zuo Li, all the other four have been replaced.

D'Antoni smiled slightly, hoping that Popovich would like the gift they prepared.

Popovich's right eyelid jumped wildly after seeing this lineup. He already understood what the Knicks were thinking.

"What a trick to sneak up on Chen Cang." Popovich smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had already foreseen what problems the Spurs would encounter next.

Yes, the Knicks don't want to fight the Spurs at all, but they have other plans. First, let K6 and David Lee come up to give the Spurs a false impression, making Popovich think that the Knicks are going to fight them.

In fact, let the main players come on the bench during the substitute time, and then start harvesting!

The Spurs are now on fire. Popovich's only way is not to change players and continue to use the starting lineup to compete with the Knicks' actual starting lineup. But even if Duncan and the others are up to par and perform exceptionally, they can withstand this situation.

Half a quarter, what about the next three quarters?

Physical fitness...substitute...

D'Antoni and the Knicks have everything figured out, and if they play like this, the 10-man rotation of the Knicks will definitely have an absolute physical advantage in the last quarter!

Even if Popovich relies on the starting lineup to desperately hold on to the advantage, but when his physical strength is exhausted, what else can the Spurs do to fight the Knicks?

Insidious, too insidious!

Popovich was really cheated!

"Hubble, maybe we will lose miserably tonight." Popovich turned around and said helplessly to his assistant.

Although Hubble didn't know why Popovich said this before the first quarter was over, he believed it was definitely not without reason. However, he still gave Popovich confidence: "Coach, you told us

, Don’t make casual predictions if you haven’t fought before, and don’t give up easily until the last moment.”

The assistant's words woke up Popovich: "Sorry, you are right, we haven't lost yet, at least we have to give them some color, right?"
