But a little restraint is still possible. Sprewell did not continue to play hard and chose to pick and roll!

Kurt Thomas, a player who entered the NBA in 1995 and was still playing until 2013. He was called Tentacle Kurt because he made many defensive moves like a tentacle monster. He came up to cover Sprewell.

Taking advantage of Kurt Thomas's pick-and-roll to enter the paint, Liu Mang bypassed Kurt Thomas and chased Sprewell. Newbell hesitated to double-team Sprewell because Kurt Thomas was a solid mid-range shooting player.

First, the defense is very aggressive, and the offense is basically a direct dunk from the second rebound, a layup, and the only way to catch the ball is mid-range shooting. It is very easy to open up the space. If you defend Sprewell at this time, Kurt

-If Thomas scores a jumper, the pressure on the Hawks to chase points will become even greater. Newbell hesitated and did not go over to help defend. Sprewell made an emergency stop in the middle distance on the right side of the free throw line before Liu Mang returned to the defensive position.

Hit the jump shot.

19 to 13!

So far in the first quarter, Sprewell has scored 14 points. The score between the two sides has become 19 to 13. Sprewell alone has scored one more point than the entire Eagles team!

Today, Sprewell seems to be dreaming back to his sophomore year eight years ago. Before the chokehold incident, he was once regarded as Jordan's successor after his first retirement. In his sophomore year, he could be selected for the first team and second defense.

However, the smell of gunpowder on the court is getting stronger and stronger! It's hard to say whether the referee's "inaction" call has strengthened the confrontation and defense of the two teams. The Eagles do not have Ratliff, and their defensive system is disabled.

On the Knicks' side, their head coach was changed from Jeff Van Gundy to the former Rockets head coach. After that, former Pistons head coach Don Cheney couldn't see how good the defense was. This head coach dared to lead

Olajuwon played offensive basketball, and as a result, the Rockets didn't have the talent to make the playoffs, and I don't know how they were able to find a job.

Don Cheney is not only a coach, but also a former NBA player. The most bragging thing in his life is probably not that he won the best coach, because he did not make the playoffs in the second year after winning the best coach.

Got fired.

The thing he is most proud of is probably winning the championship with Russell in the 1960s. In his last season before retiring in the 1979-80 season, the rookie Bird picked up the ball for him.
