It's not that the Eagles were unprepared, but they underestimated the Knicks' momentum. According to Rahim's impression of Sprewell, this guy didn't work that hard.

Unable to hold on, Sprewell only has team options left, which can be regarded as contract years. The 6-year, 75 million contract he signed after the Black Eight is almost over. This contract is for the first four years.

Fully guaranteed, fifth-year team option, final year is an extension.

He attaches great importance to next season's salary of more than 14 million and a sixth-year extension clause outside the contract. However, in order to trigger the one-year contract extension clause, the team must first execute the team option, and only then can Sprewell have the final option.

That player option, there are a group of children at home for a woman to raise.

Therefore, the Madman played very hard this year. He was also selected to the second defensive team that year. He is really good at defense when he is serious. The key is good physical fitness. The 33-year-old "senior" averaged 41 minutes per game.

The madness on the defensive end of the Madmen gave Raheem a lot of interference, so Jason Terry tried his hand first and missed a ball.

But the Hawks did not lose their composure and immediately returned to defense, waiting for the Knicks to attack.

Isley pushed forward and Jason Terry defended him. Rahim was unable to catch the ball due to Sprewell's rough defense. Rahim is not a person who will not fight back after suffering a loss. Come here.

Then he used the same fierce defense as Sprewell to fight against Sprewell.

The Knicks' tactic is for Isley to push forward and give the ball to Sprewell. Sprewell, who averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game this season, is the core of the Knicks' offense. Isley plays the role of a player with

A shooter who shoots 35 percent from three.

However, Eisley also has certain organizational skills. Seeing that Sprewell could not catch the ball, he was being defended by Jason Terry, the weakest defensive player in the Eagles' current lineup, so he pressed up and leaned against Jason Terry.

Inside, push inside the three-point line.

Jason Terry didn't expect Isley's style of play. He missed a step, but Isley took a big step back!

Just when Jason Terry reacted and hurriedly pushed back, Eisley had already turned around. At this time, Alan Houston ran past the free throw line in one step and turned around to chase Jason Terry.

, and Isley blocked Prince!

Moreover, just as Alan Houston ran over, Isley handed the ball to Alan Houston. Alan Houston got the gap and turned over and hit a jumper from mid-range.

So accurate!

This year's 42% mid-range shooting percentage and 40% three-point shooting percentage of Alan Houston are so accurate that we can't give him any open opportunities at all!

The Knicks are equally well prepared!

When Sprewell and Raheem hurt each other, they decisively implemented backup tactics!

When it came to the Eagles' offense again, Raheem did not continue to struggle with Sprewell in the paint. If it was him last season, he might have fought with Sprewell, but this year he is no longer the team's leading scorer.

, he is already the third leading scorer even while playing. He has averaged 20 10 3 1 1 per game as early as 23 years old. Now he no longer pays attention to personal data. What he wants is to win.

!

Jason Terry holds the ball on the right side of the top arc. Prince pulls to the bottom corner on the left side of the basket and waits. Muhammad and Ratliff connect on both sides of the three-second zone.

Jason Terry tried to break through to the right, but Eisley's defensive ability was average, but he was very active, and his strong body was also good. He quickly pressed forward towards the path of Jason Terry's breakthrough. Suddenly, Jason Terry

Sentry changed direction to the left, Eisley quickly turned around to chase, and then bumped into Raheem who was pulling out to pick and roll!

There was no chance for singles, and Rahim contributed from other places. Jason Terry trotted and dribbled the ball to the left side of the top arc. At this time, Rahim cut inside, and Isley could only chase Rahim.

, Jason Terry brought Sprewell over, and then passed the ball straight to Rahim. Rahim rushed into the three-second zone. Hannington looked at the menacing Rahim and immediately pushed forward.

, Rahim was not greedy for scoring, and threw the ball to the right side of the basket. Ratliff jumped up and easily alley-ooped the ball into the basket.

At the beginning, the two teams entered a state of attack. The Eagles played a team offense and first tried to find a way to get the ball to Rahim. As long as Rahim received the ball, the Knicks had to double-team. Next, it was up to Rahim.

Whether the ball passed out can be scored by teammates.

For the Knicks, it's very simple. They try to find ways to get the ball to Alan Houston. It doesn't necessarily have to allow Alan Houston to score, but they can rely on Alan Houston's ridiculously accurate open shots to create opportunities for others.

, mainly depends on whether the outside shot can be made.

This year the Knicks started off well and their offense was solid.

Liu Mang watched the performance of his teammates and opponents on the sidelines, and roughly understood the situation of the game. Although the Knicks had Sprewell's explosive defensive end this year, their overall defense was average and there was no height inside. Although they had help in defense,

There is no air interception capability.

The key point is to guard against Alan Houston. Prince and Raheem can't keep up. Jason Terry is short. Liu Mang can't help but smile sinisterly again. It's time for the young man to appear!

Boozer saw Liu Mang's sinister smile. This smile was too evil, but Boozer had seen too much, and he already had the mental capacity to bear it. Then he looked at Alan Houston, who had a coquettish start on the court, and began to mourn for this opponent...

…

…

After 5 minutes of playing in the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 12!

Except for Raheem and Sprewell, who each received a foul, they played very harmoniously at other times, running tactics, catching and shooting, and it was a complete battle of tactics and shooting ability.

The two teams played so well in the second half of the season, and they must have been excellent in terms of tactics. Although the Knicks' lineup is obviously at a disadvantage, Alan Houston is really accurate!

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the entire season, Alan Houston averaged 22 points per game, but if you only look at the games after late January, he averaged 24.4 points per game! So!

Only the media will comment that this is Alan Houston's best season. He has also averaged 21 points per game in previous seasons.

The Knicks saw that the tactics were well played and held on, so they sat tight without calling a timeout. However, the Hawks couldn't sit still anymore. They came with the goal of a big win and wanted to use this game to win in basketball.

The game in the Holy Land signaled the start of the playoffs, but the Knicks were aggressively sniped at the beginning of the game.

The main reason is that Jason Terry's defense is increasingly unable to keep up with our rhythm. After playing for one season, Prince's experience is getting better and better. Since he took on the heavy responsibility in advance, although his body is a little weaker, he has already improved.

With the defensive ability that he only had in his second year with the Pistons, in comparison, Jason Terry's defense is much worse!

Coach Kruger replaced Jason Terry with Liu Mang and replaced Muhammad with Boozer to enhance his outside defensive ability and inside shooting ability. With Ratliff guarding the basket, he was as strong as Kurt.

-Thomas can't afford to make waves, the main thing is to strengthen the defense on the outside.

Mike Woodson laid out a defensive strategy against Alan Houston. Seeing this defensive strategy, Liu Mang felt that Mike Woodson was really great. As a defensive assistant, he was really outstanding! Mainly because he had a different relationship with Liu Mang.

Coincidence!

…

Just as Mike Woodson was setting up the defense, Coach Kruger called aside Jason Terry, who was surprised to be replaced so early, and wanted to communicate with Jason Terry.

Jason Terry was very surprised. Why did the coach call him to the side? What did he do wrong? He was replaced so early?

After hesitating for a moment, Coach Kruger finally expressed his thoughts: "Jason, I have something to discuss with you."

Jason Terry nodded blankly. He didn't seem to be playing too badly today, right? On the offensive end, his side played well. He scored a three-pointer and had an assist.

"Jason, I replaced you early because I want you to wait and lead the second team to play." Coach Kruger looked serious, but he paid attention to the change in Jason Terry's expression.

Surprisingly, Jason Terry did not show any dissatisfaction, but smiled and said: "So that's it, I just said I didn't play that badly, haha, coach, I really like playing with the second team."

What kind of reaction is this? This time it was Coach Kruger's turn to be a bit unresponsive, and then he couldn't help but have the urge to test out the idea that had been brewing for a long time.

After organizing his language, Coach Kruger said in a deep voice: "Jason, I don't mean to disrespect you, but I think maybe Ace is more suitable to play than you, and you are more suitable to be a substitute."

Coach Kruger felt a little guilty when he said this. Jason Terry is a top-notch player and can play on any team. Even if he goes to the Lakers, Jackson will definitely put Kobe at small forward and let Jason...

Terry played shooting guard.

This approach may make Jason Terry dissatisfied and may affect the unity of the team, but Coach Kruger has had this idea for a long time, especially when Liu Mang occasionally wants to play, and Jason Terry "accommodates" Liu Mang.

When Mang sat on the bench, both of them had very different effects, and the effects were very positive.

But Coach Kruger never took the initiative to put Jason Terry on the bench. Liu Mang and Jason Terry had discussed it, and Jason Terry came on the bench. It was Jason Terry's volition, but

This situation is a requirement of the team. Coach Kruger is very worried that Jason Terry will be dissatisfied, so Coach Kruger has been looking for opportunities to discuss it with Jason Terry. Now seems to be a good opportunity.

The head coach has the power to let anyone play or substitute. However, the NBA is a league of stars and truly has absolute control. Except for Pat Riley and Popovich, who are both head coaches and player operators,

As head coaches as executive officers, many coaches are actually constrained by their stars. Even a Zen master can only use psychological tactics to control his players.

"...Jason, when you and Ace swapped positions on the bench, I saw that you performed better on the bench. You had more freedom to control the ball. Ace's cooperation also allowed the offense and

The defense is smoother. I have an idea. You can replace Ace as the sixth man. In the remaining games, I want to try Jason. You can play as the sixth man and Ace can..."

Coach Kruger stated his thoughts in one breath, and then looked at Jason Terry's reaction. If Jason Terry strongly objected, he would immediately appease him.

Coach Kruger already regretted that he couldn't help but say it. He felt that coaching in the NBA was too difficult. He had too little real power as a head coach and was far less comfortable than being a college coach.

Although Coach Kruger still looks quite dignified now, even when discussing, his tone is relatively strong, but he is very worried inside.

Jason Terry jumped up with excitement! Coach Kruger thought that this discussion was bankrupt, but unexpectedly, Jason Terry excitedly grabbed his hand and whispered: "Coach, what you said is true.

Yes? I promise! I promise to be a substitute!"

"Huh?" Coach Kruger didn't expect Jason Terry's reaction at all. He actually wanted this change even more than he did!

Damn it!

Just now I was sighing in my heart that coaching in the NBA was too difficult, but now I think it’s too easy!

The rotation team that was just about to take the field heard the commotion here, and turned around to see Jason Terry grabbing Coach Kruger's hand excitedly. Coach Kruger looked stunned, and everyone felt a chill behind them!
