The first round of both sides is actually the normalization of the game. The Spurs speed up and try not to enter the positional battle.

The Knicks used a thread-breaking attack to disintegrate the Spurs' defense.

This makes the game a battle of rhythm.

The Knicks tried their best to slow the Spurs down, while the Spurs were trying to speed up.

Both sides fought very clearly, but it was not easy to restrain each other.

The Spurs have always been known for their tactical execution capabilities. The disciples taught by Popovich are very reliable in this regard. It is difficult for the Knicks to slow down the Spurs through tight pressing.

The Knicks' tactical execution ability is not worse than that of the Spurs. Over the past season, the Knicks' tactics are very skilled, and the Princeton tactical system has a high error tolerance rate, so it is not easy for the opponent to limit it.

Both sides actually played well when they read, but the Knicks slowly took the lead.

In fact, it’s not that anyone has more advantages in tactics, or things like mutual restraint. The key is that the Knicks have more choices.

Tactics cannot always be executed successfully, and there are always times when they are forced to interrupt, especially when both sides are teams with full defensive skills, which is easier to interrupt the opponent's skills.

What should I do after the skill is interrupted?

If you have enough time, continue to start new tactics, but if you don’t have enough time, you can only play singles.

In the field of singles, no one is more stable than Zhou Mubai.

The Knicks are taking this point to lead the Spurs.

No matter Parker, Ginobili, or Duncan, there is no way for the Spurs to be as efficient as Zhou Mubai.

Mr. Popovich tried some methods, but overall, there was no big problem with the offense, and the defensive end was also performed well. It was already successful to be able to interrupt the opponent's tactics. However, Zhou Mubai was too foul, and he had no good idea.

If he had to target Zhou Mubai, his defensive system would easily collapse.

Popovich gave up at the end of the third quarter because he could see that this was a matter of strength.

In terms of the team abilities of both sides, it can be said that there is not much difference. The difference is Zhou Mubai.

This is impossible to make up for.

Popovich knew the strength of his team. His playing style was actually a bit off-the-scenes. Just like the Suns who have been bullied by him over the years, they were quite skilled. If they met a team that was not good at skill, it was possible to capsize.

In fact, the Spurs have capsized this season in history and are black eight by the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are the representative of black and hard. They are simply killed with one blow against men like Spurs who pursue fast. They are the first and eighth in the league, and they are actually killed in six games.

Alas, sad.

The Spurs gave up the game, and the Knicks won the 71st victory, only one game before Cole and their goal, and two games before Zhou Mubai's goal.

Cole and the others were satisfied just thinking that they could be side by side, but Zhou Mubai felt that it was interesting to strive for the first place.

The next game was the Mavericks. No one thought the Mavericks were the Knicks' opponent. In the previous game, the Knicks easily defeated the Mavericks. In that game, the Mavericks Nowitzki was not in good health and did not play.

But this game was extremely dangerous.

Because no one can defend Nowitzki.

Before 2008, Dirk was an all-around insider who could catch backcourt rebounds, transport them to the frontcourt in one stop, dribble under the crotch, jump shots in a hurry, and attack from any angle.

His dribble, pass, and cut are the best among inside players.

In terms of skills, Dirk is still a master of various technical movements such as backward jump shots, fixed-point three-pointers, emergency stop jump shots, and hook shots in the penalty area. He is probably one of the few shooting fake moves and tentative step masters in NBA history.

But after the 2005 Rockets Series, the 2006 Finals and the 2007 first round, he suffered a loss.

So he practiced hard on his back, and he has achieved great success in his magical skills!

So Nowitzki became unable to defend.

80% of the Mavericks' offense revolves around Dirk's high pick-and-roll and Dirk's back-to-back goal.

...

Dirk is in the high position, Baria and Terry look for him to pick-and-roll;

If you don’t attack Dirk, these two will make breakthroughs;

If you defend against breakthroughs, Dirk will make a shot;

It really doesn't work, Dirk plays singles with the ball from a long distance.

If you don't let Dirk be in the high position, he will cut in and Kidd will give him the ball;

If you don't attack, Dirk will fight back one by one;

You attack, Dirk gives the outside shooter.

Dirk sways at the middle distance, you can't keep it alone;

You have multiple personal defenses, Kidd sends an incisor, Marion or Chandler goes directly to the back door.

Knicks: "…"

To be honest, Zhou Mubai encountered such a difficult opponent for the first time.

Van Gundy's words were very interesting: "He beats like Zhou Mubai!"

Fortunately, the Knicks' offense is also extremely sharp. The Mavericks' defense is not scary without Chandler, and the Knicks' offense is quite smooth.

The two sides were entangled until the last second, and finally Zhou Mubai took over the game in the last three minutes, and played one into the other, so he got the game.

The Knicks won the 72nd victory as a result!

Since the Bulls in the 1995-96 season, the Knicks have become the first team to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Chicago Bulls.

It took fifteen years.

Before the arrival of old coach Hubby Brown, he said firmly: "The Bulls are already the best defensive team in history!"

Now, the Knicks use elegant Princeton tactics to make Brown's assertion less credible, because the Knicks will continue to make breakthroughs.

What's amazing is that the Knicks' 73rd victory came from the Chicago Bulls.

It makes people sigh: There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, who will the heaven spare?

The Bulls used cruel defense to kill the opponent, used occasional gorgeous goals to make the opponent despair, used triangular offense to maintain daily smooth operation, skillfully cut the opponent's belly, allowing them to silently reminisce about pain and inferiority on the bench, and occasionally were tortured by Rodman's exaggerated legs and full of trash words. Finally, in depression and anger, they had the hallucination of "we will never defeat the Bulls."

The humiliation that the Bulls gave to their opponents fifteen years ago, especially the humiliation that the Knicks, was all returned on this day.

On March 10, 1996, the Bulls lost 72 to 104 in New York. Jordan scored 32 points in that game but lost, and Starks provoked after the game.

In less than two weeks, the Bulls scored the Knicks and led by 20 points in the first half. Jordan scored 36 points and defended Starks from 3 of 14 shots.

That year's first game against New York in the playoffs, Jordan scored 44 points, and Starks made 0 of 9 shots. After the game, Jordan said:

"My back is a little sore today, and I'm not sure about jump shots, so I'll make more breakthroughs."

However, the Bulls are innocent now, and Zhou Mubai did not humiliate them after the game. He just said when reporters asked Rose: "The future is his."

This sentence made Rose feel ashamed.

Is it a tribute to the seniors?
