The starting lineup sent by the New York Knicks is Chris Duhon, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Emeka Okafor.

This is a lineup that dominates the Eastern Conference.

This season, the New York Knicks won a total of 67 games in the regular season, and also settled the playoffs with 4:0, 4:1, and 4:1 respectively.

This fully proves the advancement and superiority of the giant team.

The competition in the Eastern Conference this year is much stronger than in the past two years, and the competition is very fierce. Therefore, this is why the New York media and New York fans believe that the Knicks led by James are stronger than the Knicks led by Li Zhen.

The Clippers' starting lineup is: Mario Chalmers, Li Zhen, Paul George, Milicic, and DeAndre Jordan.

This is a lineup with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

"Los Angeles went on the defensive right from the start. Do you feel a little guilty?" Bill Walton muttered quietly in the ESPN live broadcast room.

Reggie Miller frowned slightly, and he thought the same thing. However, with the current situation, no matter how hard the Clippers attack, they will definitely not be able to match the Knicks. It is better to take a gamble and drag the Knicks into the defense.

Win with defense.

Beep!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Snapped!

Jordan defeated Okafor very easily and passed the basketball to Mario Chalmers.

Chalmers advanced steadily with the ball.

The pace is unusually slow.

When Li Zhen arrived in the frontcourt, he directed his teammates to get into position. After the court position was determined, he and Dwyane Wade pulled aside to engage in a hand-to-hand position.

After the Flash's speed and explosive power were not as strong as in his peak period, he increased his strength. His strength is definitely top-notch among guards.

However, Li Zhen still didn't put in much effort to get him stuck behind him.

Mario passed the basketball easily.

Li Zhen received the basketball, used a master-level post-up, quickly pressed inward, and when he turned around to attract Chris Bosh to attack, he quickly transferred to Milicic on the weak side.

Milicic feinted with the ball and deceived Okafor, who was filling in, and made a throw.

boom!

Basketball blacksmithing.

However, Jordan jumped up from the basket and dunked the ball over James' head.

This is a very obvious triangle offensive system.

Whether it was Phil Jackson sitting in the audience or Kobe Bryant sitting in the CCTV live broadcast room, they all felt very familiar.

"Lee is taking on my, Michael Jordan's job. What he does is just like what Michael Jordan did in Chicago and what I did in the Lakers. This is a limitation on his assist ability, but he uses another method.

The format allows all other players to participate in the offense."

Kobe explained very professionally. Although his vision on the court was very narrow, when he was outside the court, he could speak clearly: "Because the Los Angeles Clippers have many ball-holding attackers and very few open shooters.

When the Clippers execute the triangle offense, Paul George, Milicic, and Blake Griffin can all become another point of attack with the ball."

The Chinese audience needs to be translated by Director Zhang next to them in order to understand. And it loses timeliness, but they still receive serious explanations, rather than gossiping about players, nicknames, reading from the script, or talking about what is reasonable and unreasonable.

,in or inside-out...'.

When Kobe Bryant gave a lengthy explanation of the triangle offense, the Knicks completed a beautiful offense.

D'Antoni's arrival has unleashed the talents of the stars.

Although he does not have as solid a tactical concept as Phil Jackson.

But D'Antoni is someone who has been severely beaten after all, and he has grasped the pain points of the stars. He has developed several James singles plans, Wade singles plans, Chris Bosh singles plans... as well as each other's previous pick-and-roll cooperation.

That's it.

Tactics on the court are important, but if your team has so many superstars, then screw the tactics. Making these superstars comfortable is more important than anything else.

Phil Jackson didn't understand this. He thought he could even deal with Jordan and Kobe, but he couldn't deal with James?

Times have changed.

James held the ball to the top of the key, and Okafor stepped forward to set a solid screen. LeBron was like a crazy tank pushing straight into the paint. Although the Clippers had done countless deductions, when James rushed over at full speed,

Still panicked.

LeBron seized the opportunity and passed the ball to the ground. Chris Bosh caught the ball and made an emergency stop... Whoops!

This shooting power forward completes the offense very easily.

You can see the run and gun from this ball.

But this is definitely not an authentic run-and-gun game.

This is a James style offense.

The Cavaliers' rise in the Eastern Conference relied on this set. It was nothing more than replacing Ilgauskas with the younger, more energetic and athletic Okafor, and replacing Drew Gooden with All-Star Chris Bosh.

"Everyone knows tactics, but you just can't defend." Reggie Miller lamented on TV.

The NBA has been debating one thing for many times, whether the head coach or the superstar is more important. With Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Pat Riley and other head coaches with distinctive personal characteristics gradually retiring, more and more people are becoming more and more important.

The more people believe that a head coach who can serve superstars well is the most important.

D'Antoni is getting better and better at this.

Looking back, the Clippers still play the triangle offense.

But this time, Milicic was asked to post up Chris Bosh. Li Zhen and Paul George were roaming on the weak side and baseline respectively.

Milicic seized the opportunity to play one-on-one with his fellow freshman, using a beautiful post-up move to get past Chris Bosh's hard-working defense and using his left hand to lift the basketball into the basket.

Milicic has gradually regained his former spirituality this season.

Although he may never catch up with the boy who was given high hopes, but... becoming an elite center in the NBA is definitely not a problem. Especially in this era of scarcity, he can go to any team with his performance this season.

The team asked about a multi-year contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Larry Brown was sincerely happy for him.

In fact, he stopped acting when he reached the Western Conference Finals.

Milicic also saw Larry Brown's intention, but neither of them pointed it out.

How can it be so easy to reconcile the relationship that has been troubling for so many years so quickly?

After all, Milicic missed seven golden years of his career.

How many seven years are there in life?

Looking back, Dwyane Wade attacked Li Zhen's defense, and he was looking for Chris Bosh to cooperate. After a pick-and-roll, he found an opportunity, invaded the penalty area with murderous intent, and faced DeAndre Jordan for a layup, although it was unsuccessful.

, but also caused fouls from Jordan.

Dwyane Wade is the most murderous player in the Knicks. He makes up for James' only shortcoming. With him standing by his side, LeBron always feels extra at ease.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two accurate free throws continued to advance the game.

The Knicks are still in their own rhythm, and the steel defense established by the Clippers does not really restrict these superstars.

At most, it will make them consume more physical energy.

TNT commentator Kenny Smith's eyebrows were furrowed. He was worried that the Clippers would fall into the Knicks' rhythm and be killed by them like a boiled frog.

However, the Clippers are not as weak as imagined.

Whether it is Li Zhen, the young players, or the number two parallel importer of the year, they all showed extremely amazing resilience.

They fought as a team and defended the first quarter with strict defense and fixed triangle offensive tactics.

26:28.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers were 2 points behind.

Among them, Li Zhen only scored 5 points. Milicic scored 8 points, Paul George also had 7 points, DeAndre Jordan had 2 points, and Mario Chalmers had 4 points.

Very average.

In comparison, only Chris Duhon scored 2 points for the Knicks, and the other points were scored by the Big Three.

This shows the completely different styles of the two teams.

"This is undoubtedly the highest level of tactics in the NBA. The offensive and defensive levels of both sides are among the best in history, and they did not make any low-level mistakes on the tactical end. This is destined to be a game that will go down in history."

Bill Walton emphasized during a timeout between quarters.

Come back for the second quarter.

The Clippers have made personnel adjustments.

Li Zhen moved to the point guard position. His partners were Gordon Hayward, Eddie Griffin, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
