Gary Payton couldn't say what everyone expected, but no one expected that Gary Payton's words would become true. When he came back in the second quarter, the first round was the Knicks' offense.

At this time, Taberdog finally gave up his thoughts of eating the Pacers and replaced them with all the substitutes.

But at this moment, the Pacers came up and pressed the defense in the frontcourt on the first round of the game. The Pacers did start with defense. If they changed to press down and defense, it depends on whether the Knicks took this trick.

Vogel came to an abrupt end, but the Knicks were a fast-moving team, not afraid of dealing with tight pressure and defense.

The Knicks hesitated for a moment and the entire team reacted.

Kirilenko came to get the ball from the backcourt and then supported the basketball to the Pacers' half. The Knicks were not afraid of the whole game defense because they were good at playing fast and the big guys could also support it.

This information has been left in Vogel's mind, but even if the Knicks are not afraid of pressing, the Pacers' sudden move has affected the Knicks' advancement and shortened the team's offensive time.

When the Knicks' substitute lineup came, due to the lack of main offensive players, the Knicks finally made a hasty shot but still missed.

The Pacers' tight defense still played a role in delaying the Knicks, just when the Pacers fans were happy.

When the Pacers first got the ball, the Knicks immediately saved and made an extremely tough defensive response.

The Knicks' defense is not only tough, but also dense, corresponding to the young players of the Pacers.

It also strangled the Pacers' attack's throat. Although the Pacers were also a small lineup at this time, they lacked a stable ball holder from the outside. They relied on David West as the core. Once the Knicks put a lot of pressure on the ball, the Pacers would be a little difficult to adapt.

In this way, under the Knicks' tough defense, the Pacers also missed the attack in this round.

At the beginning, both teams really started from defense and started from the defensive end. This change was almost the same as Payton's reaction. In this way, Reggie Miller looked at Gary Payton with admiration and said:

"Gary, you guy is really good! He actually thought of it with those two old guys. Can you tell me the reason for this change!"

Gary Payton saw the admiring look of Reggie Miller and smiled bitterly. Because he knew that it was not unusual for him to guess this. Generally, coaches with some experience would guess this. This matter is amazing for players. It is also a bit incredible for fans. But it is obvious for coaches.

Both teams played very gently in the first quarter, and they must have tried to a certain extent. In the first quarter, the strength is definitely not the rhythm of the regular season. Strong teams will always exert force in the second half. But this does not affect the two teams warm up a little. Teams like the Pacers and the Knicks are waiting for the peak showdown in the second half, and want to add intensity to the lineup in the first half. So how do the two teams strengthen the strength of the team!

Only defense can do this.

Both teams strengthened their defense at the beginning and missed their shots from each other.

When the Knicks attacked again, although they suddenly did not press forward, they also strengthened their strength on the defensive end, and each player put pressure on the opponent.

At this time, Kirirenko's shortcomings were also shown. As a power forward who supports three-pointers, Kirirenko must have a strong point on the offensive end to cooperate with him, so that his abilities and support can be perfectly displayed.

Otherwise, even if Kirilianko scores high scores, it will be difficult to help the team get good results. This is determined by Kirilianko's style of play. He is the life of the supporter. Without the main force, Kirilianko can only score points but cannot change the opponent's defense.

At this time, the Pacers fought desperately to defend, and Kirilianko was not stronger. He only led the team to support and could not beat the Pacers' good defense now.

The Knicks passed the ball from the outside, and in the end, Bujr Smith took the risk and missed the shot. Under the high-intensity defense, the Knicks' offensive efficiency was the first to be reduced.

This was originally a good opportunity for the Pacers to attack. You should know that the Pacers' substitute lineup is still relatively neat. However, when the Pacers came up and faced the Knicks' dense defense, they also had problems. In the Pacers' lineup, the speed was fast and the height was high enough, but both wing players were unstable pitchers.

Once the attack on the back line is not performed, the performance of these two people outside the three-point line will easily be silenced. This round, Sam Young did miss the long-range three-pointer from the bottom line.

The Knicks couldn't open, and the Pacers couldn't open either. The two teams were in a stalemate at the beginning of the second quarter.

The hit rate was a straight decline, and neither team scored points.

In the past, when encountering this situation, the head coach should have replaced the main player!

But today is not. Both teams clearly played badly in offense and fought hard to defend. But here Vogel pressed George on the bench, and there on the other side, Taberdog also pressed Li Feng to his side.

In the first quarter, the two teams competed with timeouts and did not make special adjustments. Now, the two teams' offenses were clearly unfavorable in the second quarter, but they refused to play the trump card of both sides.

This game seemed very mysterious to some experts and football commentators. At this time, Su Qun, who was in China, watched the broadcast, kept asking questions while pulling out the Beijing accent.

"The Pacers and the Knicks strengthened their defense at the same time, but neither strengthened their offense. Both teams encountered offensive problems, but were not in a hurry to solve them! What are the medicines sold in the gourd!"

Su Qun raised a lot of questions, and no one was destined to answer them for him. Those who could answer these questions came to the NBA to be head coaches. Su Qun had never been head coaches, so no one answered him.

But Gary Payton, who was on the sidelines, frowned at this moment. Gary Payton was born with a black face and had a deep brow. The more he thought about it, the more he was, the more he was, the more bitter his face was.

The Pacers and the Knicks competed with defense and did not switch off offensive players. From Gary Payton's perspective, this is what Taberdeau and Vogel are in common. If Jeff Van Gundy and Larry Brown came, they would have been a replacement. Because both of them are academic masters, they only recognize tactics but not strategies.

Although the two teams are in a stalemate, the one who takes action will definitely get some points benefit. But whoever adjusts first means who can't help it first. It's because they lack confidence and confidence in the players! Both head coaches don't want to show their timidity, so they don't move for the time being.

People's hearts are the world, and people's hearts are also the court.

Both head coaches sat steadily. What should I do on the court at this time?

It depends on the player's ability to adjust himself. It depends on luck! Yes, it depends on luck, this damn thing.

Luck is something that cannot be seen or seen, but it is also a very important thing. Many times, there is nothing without luck, and there is nothing with luck.

Gambling luck is also a time when strong people often happen!

At this moment, luck first came to the Pacers who were fighting at home, and the second quarter ended in the second minute.

The Pacers reached the opponent's half-court but still couldn't chew the Knicks' half-court position. DJ Augustine took the risk of attacking and forced a breakthrough, and lost the basketball halfway through the breakthrough. This guy made a mistake in controlling the ball by himself.

But in the chaos, the basketball rolled to Sam Young's side, and Sam Young couldn't attack by taking the ball.

However, at this time Sam Young immediately controlled the rhythm with his back attack, and then passed the ball to Hansblu outside.

Hansblu took the ball outside the three-point line, and there was just one room for a step. Usually, Hansblu's three-pointers were very inaccurate.

So Kirilianko didn't save it, but in a moment, Hansblu raised his hand and threw a three-pointer and even made a hit.

Hansblu's three-pointer was a weird event. Just after the shooting, Hansblu laughed.

Reggie Miller said on the side:

"Now Hansblu has transformed into a shooter again. I really hope to play the shooter for a longer time!"

The Pacers were very lucky to hit this three-pointer, which was a signal! Although Taberdeau had been able to be tilted towards the opponent by the balance of fate, Taberdeau still sighed at this time.

The stadium is a place where they can balance each other. Once a turnaround occurs on the Pacers, the turnaround also appears on the Knicks.

The Knicks are now slightly adapted to the Pacers' strong defense. When the Knicks' players attack, they pay more attention to running and cooperation.

Kirilenko and Knicks were even more involved in their roles when they came to the court.

Just after Hansblu's three-pointer, Kirilianko immediately took the ball and came to the horn position but provided a cover for his teammates.

At this time, JR Smith, who came on as a substitute, was very cunning and ran around Kirilianko for a while.

Then, relying on his thin body, he turned his body and turned a corner under the Pacers' basket.

JR Smith ran so hard that Sam Yang, who was chasing behind, saw a figure.

The Pacers' inside line was indeed relatively empty at this time, with only David West guarding him. JR Smith ran in and there was an open position. Kirilenko passed the ball quickly, JR Smith got the ball and scored two points.

The Pacers made three-pointers and the Knicks also began to find a solution to the situation on the court.

At this time, both Taberdeau and Fifol began to look at the stadium with more attention. The development of the situation will affect the on-site judgment of the two.

When the Pacers came over again, the two defenders first passed the ball back and forth. David West wanted to go up and catch the ball, but Thornton still took good care of David West.

When David West could not get the basketball, some DJ Augustine rushed up to the Knicks with confidence at the Knicks' half.

Bailinelli didn't want dj Augustin to continue performing at this time, and he came up to defend DJ Augustin.

DJ Augustine is an immature point guard who usually doesn't see anyone when dealing with high-intensity defense.

This Belineri chased him to defend, and DJ Augustine could only care about basketball and couldn't see her teammates.

In this way, DJ Augustine was chased from the three-point line by Belineri to the penalty area, and then chased from the penalty area to the outside of the three-point line.

DJ Augustine's long-term control of the ball and not passing the ball, and not scoring the ball, was a taboo on the court. However, after his chaos, the lineups of both teams were immediately in chaos.

At this time, Belineri chased after him, and DJ Augustine immediately passed the ball to Sam Young.

Sam Young almost cursed when he got the ball, because there were only a few seconds left. DJ Augustine played enough basketball and finally threw it to Sam Young.

If Sam Young doesn’t have it, the attack will not work. Isn’t this difficult for Sam Young?

Sam Young was angry and could only play horizontally and reach the opponent's three-point line. Then he pulled up and quickly shot a long shot.

Sam Young's long shots have always been unstable, and both his and Hansblu's long shots are sometimes not.

At this time, Sam Young had no idea of ​​scoring a goal. But with the basketball attack, Sam Young immediately smiled.

Because he made a quick move. Although he made a mistake in the shooting, he even made a comeback after wiping the rebound. After hitting such a goal, not only Sam Young smiled, but also Reggie Miller and Vogel laughed.

Both Pacers are not good at shooting. They actually made a mistake and made two long shots in succession.

This is a good sign for the walker, and the balance of victory has tilted towards the walker.

The Knicks advanced quickly and tended to run without the ball and cooperate when attacking the overall situation. However, the Pacers' defense was indeed tight at this time. There was no sign of random shooting on the Knicks, but there was no sign of breaking the opponent's defense.

In the end, Kirilianko made a strong shot at the basket, but Kirilianko was indeed average when he was carrying the basket. Kirilianko missed the shot, and the basketball was immediately taken away by the Pacers.

The Pacers just made two shots in a row, and when they came up, their morale was really eased.

David West immediately pulled away to catch the ball. After receiving the ball, David West re-used the same trick against Thornton. The following two tentative steps were taken, and a mid-range shot from the top actually made a shot.

The Pacers scored 6 points in a row, while the Knicks scored only 2 points. This led to a change in scores and also suppressed the Knicks in terms of momentum.

You should know that Madison has infiltrated the fans of more than 4,000 Pacers today. Once the Pacers score, these fans will start to cheer for the team.

The Pacers' momentum will soon rise, and if the Knicks do not perform accordingly, they will easily be suppressed.

At this time, it is logical that Taberdog should have replaced the main force! He should have put Li Feng on it!

But Tiberdore didn't. After seeing the goal conceding, he ran to the sidelines and shouted at his players.

"Defense, pay attention to defense, our defense strength has dropped!"
