Yao Ming's words finally made Wilkens's frown relax a little.

He also understood that if a team wants to develop, in addition to the strength of the main lineup, the substitute lineup is also very important!

Only by doing everything to the extreme can we get the most ideal results.

This road is definitely a long way to go, but only by trying with all our strength can we know what the final result will be.

Crawford's eagerness to try made Yao Ming very pleased.

He believed that this guy who later became the sixth man would not let him down.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides all came out as substitutes, and this alternative substitute battle kicked off.

On the Spurs side, Ginobili continued to be on the court and led the substitute lineup to play.

This is also the tactical plan that Popovich has been trying. At this moment, he thinks further than other coaches.

Simply relying on the main lineup and star players can indeed achieve great results in a short period of time.

But this is only for a short period of time. Once it involves a longer period of competition, everything becomes much more difficult.

Especially in the playoffs, the high-intensity horizontal confrontation makes it difficult for the main players to play too much of an advantage, and the performance of the substitute lineup is particularly important.

Although Ginobili's talent is more than enough to lead the bench.

There is absolutely no problem in being competent as a starter!

But this is the situation now. Only by doing our best to make the game better can we get the ideal state!

The Spurs have the right to attack first, and Ginobili advances with the ball.

Facing Jamal Crawford's defense, he chose a singles.

The unique snake-like breakthrough of the demon sword made Crawford, who was already weak in defense, miserable.

He could only shake his head helplessly.

"Well, Manu's pass was a little too easy. Is this the effect of the Knicks' signings? To be honest, it's really terrible!"

"I think so too. I think it is wiser to let Battier defend Manu now. Jamal can only be a marginal figure. He should not bear too much responsibility. His ability cannot reach such a height!"

After Ginobili scored, the two commentators also expressed their opinions. They were not optimistic about Crawford's performance.

But what was unexpected was that the two of them were slapped in the face by Jamal in the next round!

Attack and defense switched, the Knicks attacked.

Crawford, who had just been taught a lesson by Jamal on the defensive end, took the initiative to take the ball from Battier.

Facing the demon sword with outstanding defensive ability, Jamal held the ball and pulled to a position one step outside the three-point line.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the floor hard, and Crawford began his dazzling dribbling.

The continuous crotch dribbling made his offense full of beauty.

""Ouch!"

Although he has not yet made an effective attack, this series of dribbling operations is enough to make people excited.

"Maybe, Jamal is not bad!"

Coach Wilkens rarely smiled and nodded to Jamal.

Yao Ming also took a fancy to his singles ability. If it were in the playoffs, his personal singles ability with the ball would definitely be the primary means for the Knicks' bench lineup to attack the city!

After Jamal dribbled the ball continuously between his legs, he suddenly made a sharp turn to the right, and his right shoulder also shook rapidly at this moment.

After completing this action, he quickly chose to pull back, with a beautiful cross step, and directly left Ginobili behind!

"Oh my god!"

The commentator on the sidelines jumped up in surprise. He couldn't imagine that Crawford had such great lethality on the offensive end!

After passing Ginobili, he chose to stop and shoot three-pointer!

He shot quickly and hit it steadily!

""Swish!"

The basketball went through the net steadily, and Crawford scored his first point for the Knicks!

""Beautiful!"

Paul was also very excited when he saw Jamal's dazzling dribbling.

As a point guard, he was good at controlling the ball, which was his livelihood.

But after watching Crawford's performance, he had great doubts about his dribbling.

Damn, it turns out that even if you are not a point guard, you can still dribble to the extreme!

Excellent!

And this was just a microcosm of the second quarter. Crawford's ability on the defensive end was indeed not up to the standard of a star, and it was difficult to limit Ginobili's performance.

But back on the offensive end, he was also very good. He is a headache for opponents.

No matter which end, he cannot show convincing results. Everyone can only shake their heads helplessly!

After the Knicks bench lineup has Crawford's firepower output, the performance is no worse than the main players.

Moreover, after adapting for a period of time, Battier also began to play his role on the defensive end.

Help Jamal share the pressure of defense as much as possible. The perfect combination of the two makes the Spurs substitutes miserable.

Popovich was so anxious that he cursed, but he could only do nothing!

Now, the Spurs really feel What does it mean to have the will but not the strength?

No matter whether it is the main players or the substitutes, they were all crushed by the Knicks and had no power to fight back!

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable for everyone.

The defending champion had to lower his proud head today.

This feeling is unimaginable for everyone. You can only try your best to make yourself better!

However, after entering the third quarter, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

The defending champion's ability to withstand pressure still surprised everyone.

They had no power to fight back in the first two quarters. , but they fought back in the third quarter and made the game full of suspense again.

Such a result also made the entire Madison Square Garden lifeless.

Everyone might have been too excited in the first two quarters, or they might have completely forgotten the subsequent development of the game. At this moment, everyone sighed helplessly. The Spurs' original situation actually happened to them.

Heaven has its own way, and no one can escape it?

Such a development of the situation was definitely beyond everyone's expectations, but the fact is that this is competitive sports, and nothing is impossible!

"This kind of game is really getting more and more interesting. I thought the Knicks had already won the game, but the defending champions taught us all a good lesson. Now, we finally understand why they are called the defending champions!"

Never underestimate the heart of a champion. At this stage, no one can guarantee how the subsequent development of the game will be. We can only say that we will make the game as exciting as possible.

"Looking forward to the final showdown between the two sides, I dare say that this will definitely be a wonderful match, and the players of both sides will definitely not let us down!"

Accompanied by the voice of the commentator, the two sides finally ushered in the final quarter of the showdown.

This is a big challenge for the players of both sides.

Whether they can continue to maintain a stable situation at this time will, to a large extent, determine the final outcome of the game.

Coach Wilkens once again boldly tried a new style of play in the ranking and lineup in the final stage.

Chris Paul + Jamal Crawford + Sean Battier + Andrei Kirilenko + Yao Ming!

The ultimate one big and four small!

It is worth mentioning that this lineup is very young, and no one has more than 3 years of playing experience in the league!

This shocked everyone at the scene.

It turned out that the Knicks already had their own lineup system without knowing it.

This is really unexpected.

Popovich was also surprised.

He didn't expect that in the most critical fourth quarter, the Knicks would actually put out such a lineup.

This is hard to believe.

Is it true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger? But in front of him who is so shrewd, is it really a good idea to choose such a lineup? The Spurs still have all the main players, and now victory is in sight, there is no reason not to fight for it.

No matter what the final result is, it will be clear only after hard work!

But the facts have proved that the Knicks' new lineup is really terrifying!

Everyone is a fresh force, and they don't know fatigue at all.

They can't find any feeling at all in the continuous back and forth running.

Everyone is trying their best to make themselves better.

On the other hand, the Spurs' performance is quite satisfactory, but compared with the Knicks who are playing at full strength, the gap is still very obvious.

In this way, the Spurs can only lose helplessly in the end!

Is this okay? Popovich was really shocked.

Did a random punch kill the master? When did the league become the world of young people? In this industry, isn't it true that the older you are, the better you will be?

"To be honest, I'm in a bad mood right now and I don't want to say anything, so please let me go back and rest early!"

In the post-match interview, Popovich changed his attitude and acted particularly unhappy.

There is no way, the game is lost in this situation, I believe no one will be happy

"We lost the game in a way we didn't expect, it's that simple……"

Duncan's expression was still calm, but his eyes revealed a strong unwillingness.

He had given his all in this game, scoring 30 points.

But this still couldn't win a victory for the team. This feeling was really bad!

"I think we have found a way to win again, and I look forward to our final performance!"
