Compared with the Knicks team under D'Antoni, Woodson's team has faded away from some flashy, a little more simple and tough. Kidd, Brewer, Chandler, these players are very suitable for Anthony, Kidd's organization, Brewer's defense, Chandler's replacement, and frame protection minimize Anthony's loss, making this A scoring machine focuses on scoring. Compared with other top players, such as Durant, Kobe, and Wade, who are becoming versatile according to the needs of the team, Anthony's trajectory is more extreme, focusing on scoring.

This is also the way Anthony enjoys playing the most. In the first half alone, Anthony scored 29 points, continuing his reputation as a "Nets killer".

The difference of 4 points is not difficult, but the overall spirit of the Knicks today is really good, not only Anthony who scored 29 points, but also other role players, Chandler, Kidd, Smith, Bruce The Ruhrs are also trying their best to make their own contributions to the team in all aspects. Basically, it can be said that the Knicks really did not regard this game as an ordinary regular season.

"In the first half of the game, we did have a little problem on offense, but I believe everyone can solve this problem. In the second half, my request to everyone is to maintain the defensive strength in the second quarter, use defense to suppress opponents, and use defense to suppress opponents. The offense beats the opponent." The score at halftime was 52:56. The Knicks' scorers changed their style and turned this game into a defensive battle. But in fact, this kind of tough battle is for the Nets. Great exercise value. To some extent, this team was almost knocked down and rebuilt in the past summer. There have been relatively big changes from the team's style of play to the core lineup. It is still unclear what kind of performance this brand-new team can produce under the confrontational intensity of the playoffs. It's good to have such a derby opponent who is desperate for his life.

In the eyes of the fans, the long intermission time is very short in the eyes of the players and coaches. Even Stevens' tactical arrangement has not yet ended, and the urging voices of the staff have already sounded.

In the second half of the game, the Nets took the lead to kick off. Curry quickly took the ball beyond the three-point line, and Leonard came over to play a pick-and-roll for Curry. The moment the two passed by, a concealed hand-to-hand pass, the ball appeared on Leonard in the hands of Germany.

Leonard didn't stop at all, he turned around and quickly evaded Anthony's defense. This cooperation caught Anthony by surprise, but Chandler's timely replacement blocked Leonard's breakthrough space, and he reacted Anthony also started to press from behind.

At this time, Leonard's shortcomings in handling the ball against double-teams on the offensive end were exposed. Anthony smashed the ball down from behind, but Leonard's reaction was really sensitive. He just lost the ball from his hand and returned Just one click, the ball fell from Anthony's hands again. Before he stepped forward to pick it up, a white figure flashed past, and the responsive Curry had already bent down to pick up the ball, and without stopping the ball, he raised his hand directly for a three-pointer.

The ball returned to Kidd's hands. Under his call, Anthony honestly came over to pick and roll, taking pictures of Anthony's huge offensive threat. When Anthony finished the pick and roll, he took a step out, Curry and Leonard at the same time Moving to Anthony's side made way for Kidd to open a wide avenue.

In this situation, as long as Lopez comes out, it must be Kidd and Chandler's alley-oop dunks, so it's better to bet on Kidd's mid-range shots.

Offensive and defensive changes, the Nets quickly took the ball across the half court with a long pass, and with the sound of continuous dribbling, Curry quickly pulled away from the top of the arc to the right, and by the way, the Knicks Defensive focus has also been brought to the right.

Felton was kicked up by a realistic fake move. Curry broke through the opponent's defense and entered the Knicks' penalty area. The defensive players ran over quickly. They knew the consequences of giving Curry such space and avoided Kidd's sneak attack. With his right hand, Curry was forced to take off under the front and rear attack of two Knicks players. He held the basketball high in his hand. Seeing that the ball was about to be released, Curry flipped his right wrist slightly, and the basketball flew out obliquely.

After Korver received the ball from outside the three-point line, he jumped up lightly, adjusted the basketball in his hand in the air, and the ball flew out quickly, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air.

"Shua" was another unguarded three-pointer. In less than two minutes, the score between the two sides returned to 58.

Under Kidd's control of the field, the Knicks were always very patient on offense. After a few beautiful pass pick-and-rolls, the ball finally returned to Anthony's hands. Anthony's continuous feints finally changed Leonard. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent adjusts the center of gravity, he made a mid-range shot at a 45-degree angle on the right, helping the team regain the lead.

Anthony is very strong, but Curry is not to be outdone. This time, the elevator door tactic reappeared on the court. Lopez and Leonard closed the door at the right time to block the three Knicks defensive players. Have time to adjust the crosshairs.

Three-pointer hit, not to mention Anthony's BUG-like soaring performance, Curry has already scored 25 points, and his performance can be considered very powerful.

Kidd's organization still appears to be orderly, but his own offensive threat is always a problem. Leonard, who is observant, made a prediction at the moment he passed the ball, stuck at Anthony's leg and stretched out his hand to take the ball. , the middle finger slightly touched the basketball, although it was not enough to steal the ball, it changed the trajectory of the basketball, Anthony had no time to react, one-third of his palm touched the basketball but failed to control the basketball, helplessly watching the basketball go out of bounds.

Stevens punched excitedly on the sidelines, and Curry completed several beautiful attacks, but he didn't react like this. Leonard made him so happy that a beautiful defense caused Anthony to make a mistake, which shows how strong Anthony's sense of oppression is.

After completing the pick-and-roll, Leonard ran to the bottom line on the right wing. Curry's ball flew halfway across the court and appeared in his hands. He made an accurate three-pointer. Leonard's offense and defense helped the team The point difference was widened to 4 points, and more importantly, Stevens astutely discovered that Anthony's physical fitness had problems.

Although the team builds a lineup around Anthony, all staffing is based on making Anthony play comfortably, but if you let one player take more than half of the team's scoring, the game is too difficult to be human. What's more, the whole game is against a heavy small forward like Leonard? Not to mention Anthony with a mortal body, even James with a steel and iron frame can't last a whole game like this.

Stevens noticed this before Woodson, and then made a fuss about it. The Nets' offense was more patient, they ran more without the ball, and they dispatched the Knicks more. In the end, Anthony couldn't keep up, and watched Leonard make a close-range shot, and Rada closed the gap.

When Curry hit his seventh three-pointer in the game, the point difference had widened to 13 points. At this time, there were three minutes and five seconds left in the third quarter.
