Knicks offense.

After Allen Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he didn't hesitate and passed the basketball directly to Yao who was firmly established in the high post.

Before the game, Han Ning's plan for them was to use the first three quarters of the game to defeat the Phoenix Suns as much as possible.

After all, playing against a team that specializes in run-and-gun tactics will be a physical challenge for the players on both teams.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Knicks players, especially the inside players like Dayao, are still relatively strong.

Letting them play their biggest role as much as possible is the most appropriate method.

In other words.

You don't let them work while they have strength.

Is it possible to wait until they are too tired to stand up before letting them go to work?!

It's ineffective and a waste of opportunity.

When Dayao and others are gradually exhausted, let Allen Iverson and others support the offensive firepower.

This is the most reasonable combination.

After Dayao received a pass from Allen Iverson, he faced the basket directly.

There was no fake movement at all, just put the ball together with both hands and lean back slightly to shoot.

"Whoa!"

Scored two points.

Amare Stoudemire, who was responsible for defending Yao, had no choice at all.

Originally, Amare Stoudemire didn't have much advantage when defending Dayao.

Now facing Dayao's golden rooster independence, he has no choice.

It's the Suns' turn to attack.

Allen Iverson continued to close in on Steve Nash as soon as he caught the basketball.

It wasn't until Steve Nash dribbled the ball past half court that he gradually opened up the defensive distance.

Steve Nash felt helpless for Allen Iverson's move.

It's not like he hasn't tried to let his teammates transport the basketball to the frontcourt, and then find ways to pass the basketball to him so that he can organize the offense.

But even if he doesn't hold the ball, Allen Iverson will still choose to defend closely.

It wasn't until he passed halftime that he opened up some defensive distance.

But it's just so that he can receive passes from his teammates.

As for him wanting to pass the basketball to his teammates to organize an offense?!

It's hard!

That's not to say there's no chance to complete it, but it's really difficult.

After all, the Knicks' defensive ability is indeed very strong!

Needless to say about the interior, there is no team in the entire league whose interior defense can be compared with the Knicks' interior defense.

Even the Rockets are slightly behind.

On the outside, the defensive abilities of Allen Iverson and Jose Calderon are both above the passing line.

At the only small forward position, the Phoenix Suns have an advantage.

Shawn Marion is very fast, has good awareness, is very flexible in his movement, and has excellent physical fitness.

He also has good long-distance shooting ability.

The Knicks' man responsible for guarding him is Kyle Korver.

The defense is a little worse.

However, Han Ning only asked Kyle Korver to defend Shawn Marion's long-range shot.

And when Shawn Marion wanted to cut inside and attack the basket, he asked Kyle Korver to let him go directly inside.

Responsible only for defending mid-range and long-range shots, Kyle Korver's ability can still barely restrain Shawn Marion.

Although it seems that Shawn Marion can attack the basket without limit and find ways to cause damage.

But it’s still the same sentence.

The Knicks' interior line is too strong.

With Yao and Kurt Thomas here, how can you, a little Shawn Marion, just want to take off?!

I won't kill you!

Steve Nash also understands this truth.

So he didn't try much.

Making these risky attempts is far more stable than holding the ball and attacking by yourself.

But in this way, the Phoenix Suns can only be beaten by the Knicks.

It wasn't until the eighth minute of the second quarter that Phoenix Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni finally couldn't help but call another timeout.

no way.

So far in the game, the score between the two teams has reached 45 to 30.

The Knicks took a 15-point lead!

If this continues, the Phoenix Suns will be able to admit defeat in less than three quarters.

Players from both sides returned to their respective benches.

Mike D'Antoni looked at the Suns players with a very ugly expression.

Regarding Han Ning, his heart was extremely unbalanced.

From the time he entered the NBA to play in the 1973 draft, until he retired, he worked under many famous coaches in various teams and served as an assistant coach to learn.

After decades of hard work, Mike D'Antoni can now become the head coach of the Phoenix Suns.

Moreover, he has been coaching an NBA team as a head coach for less than two years.

Not as long as Han Ning!

Han Ning, who was only in his twenties, became the head coach of the Rockets as soon as he entered the NBA.

He also led two different teams to win championships for two consecutive years!

This made Mike D'Antoni extremely unbalanced!

How come he has been struggling for decades and his starting point is not as high as Han Ning's?!

And today, the Knicks' performance against the Phoenix Suns seemed to prove to him again why the results of his decades of hard work are not as high as Han Ning's starting point.

The difference is really not small!

However, before this game, Mike D'Antoni was really confident that he could win this game.

After all, the Phoenix Suns' record this season is really good!

If it weren't for Han Ning, the best coach this season would be Mike D'Antoni.

If Mike D'Antoni knew this, he would probably feel even more unbalanced.

However, Mike D'Antoni, who was hit, was not ready to give up just like that.

No matter what, try again.

If he just admits defeat like this, Mike D'Antoni will never be willing to accept it.

Looking at the Suns players around him, Mike D'Antoni said in a deep voice: "Boys, we don't play run-and-gun tactics anymore. We play positional warfare!"

That's right, the only way Mike D'Antoni can think of now is to give up the run-and-gun tactics and switch to positional warfare!

Although this is equivalent to giving up the most advantageous tactical play of one's own team.

But it can also break Han Ning's targeting of Steve Nash!

Switching to positional warfare, the Phoenix Suns are less dependent on Steve Nash.

Other Suns players can also try to organize the offense.

They can't organize a run and gun attack, but they can still try positional warfare.

At the very least, it is possible to use a sudden score tactic!

In this way, the Knicks' defensive defense against Steve Nash is useless.

After hearing Mike D'Antoni's words, Steve Nash's eyes suddenly lit up.
Chapter completed!
