Accompanying the referee to the center circle

"Hey, Young, I won't jump anymore. This ball belongs to you." Young heard the "whisper" from Robin Lopez on the opposite side.

"Okay, I'll pay you back next time we meet." Faced with the other party's attempt to be lazy, Yang naturally wouldn't disagree. This "deal" saved him some effort.

So the first offensive possession of the game belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers:

After Grant got the ball, he just passed the half-court pass and passed it to Young, who was one step above the 45-yard line on the left.

When Young received the ball, he immediately noticed that the Knicks revealed one word everywhere in tonight's defensive matchup:

Strange

Positions 1-4 cannot guard against opponents who are not their own.

Calderon at position 1 went to chase Moore without the ball. Afflalo at position 2 was in front of him. Carmelo Anthony at position 3 did not go to Covington, but went right.

Grant is on our side at No. 4, but Porzingis, who is supposed to be facing Grant, is standing in the right corner with Covington.

rush

After clearing the matchup situation, Yang directly chose to accelerate on the spot.

"You are too reckless and you will get an offensive foul." Afflalo, who has more experience in the NBA, wants to use blocking positions and offensive fouls to weaken Young's energy.

"." In the first 17 games, he always played with flying colors, and took the initiative to seek physical contact in the first attack.

"Bang"

In the first physical confrontation, Afflalo was forcibly knocked out of his defensive position.

Afflalo was knocked away, and the Knicks' first line of defense in the middle was instantly torn to pieces by Young.

At this time, the Knicks discovered that due to their own arrangements, they no longer had any defensive support to defend the center.

No, it's still powerful

Carmelo Anthony can still make up for it

never mind

Let Yang come in

We don't believe he can hit a ball-handling three-pointer

"Pa"

Seeing that Knicks did not believe in evil, Yang took out his right hand with a backhand

Come and slap me in the face.

3:0

Even with Porzingis, the Knicks' offensive core is still:

carmelo anthony

Both Calderon, who was trying to find a way to lob the ball, and Young, who was jumping up and down to stop the lob, knew this.

because

The ball was not in his hands for a long time, and it was almost 4 seconds before turning back. Carmelo Anthony had to give up the position he had already stuck.

Come out and catch the ball

After finishing the ball, Calderon was about to take Young to the left corner when he suddenly realized that he was missing.

"Carmelo Anthony finally has something that can beat James."

"He actually got the treatment of Young and Covington teaming up to attack. You know, in the game against the Cavaliers, Young always defended James alone."

"jump ball"

When both sides controlled 50 each, the referee's jump ball whistle came very timely.

After making eye contact with Covington, Young changed positions with Moore on the right.

Now that Covington has him on the right side

He chose to believe without hesitation

Because I have already prepared

So when the ball comes

Young had the ball firmly under control.

After getting the ball, he didn't greet his teammates as usual.

Instead, he pushed himself one step beyond the three-point line.

One more shot

three point shot

"Shua"

The three-point shot is always the most wonderful.

6:0

"fuck"

For the ruthless Anthony, in the next round of offense, the Knicks cleared one side and gave Anthony a one-on-one challenge.

Facing Covington’s defensive defense

Anthony took out his signature weapon: the probing step

After holding the ball in both hands and swinging it around, Anthony found the best solution:

Pull-up jump shot

6:2

The Knicks, who fell behind 6-0 at the start, recovered by two points.

This way

Just scored

Young, who was quick to hit the baseline ball, gave the Knicks a surprise gift package:

He used his master-level quarterback's long pass and was prepared to "catch" Jerami Grant who was running at the front during the next fast break.

"Bang"

8:2

The Knicks, who had just chased two points, lost it in less than two seconds.

…………

…………

"clang"

The Knicks' third attack led by Porzingis failed.

"Robin, get me an offensive rebound."

After a poor shooting start, Fisher wanted to use offensive rebounds to give his team more opportunities.

But Yang, who has been moved to the inside,

How could such a thing happen? After judging the landing point, he locked Robin Lopez behind him.

"not good"

After seeing that the landing point was completely within Yang's control, Robin Lopez had a different thought.

"beep"

But he never expected that as soon as he put his hand on his waist, the referee called a foul.

"Ken, I didn't commit a foul."

"..." He didn't even want to explain it to Carmelo Anthony, let alone an unknown person like Robin Lopez.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Brown made an adjustment. He replaced center Richaun Holmes with point guard McConnell.

"Jerami, you go to the low position on the right side."

"Robert, 45 degrees right

"Etoine, bottom line"

"Yang, bottom left corner"

"4"

After McConnell directed his position, he called for a strategy that focused on the left bottom corner.

Although I didn't practice this tactic much during the road trip.
