The piston first showed its fangs, and it was obvious that after a period of practice, the double-team of Hardaway was suddenly used in the game, which produced a miraculous effect.

Hardaway, who had many goals, can only be described as ordinary in this section. If the Knicks had not worked together and dragged the Pistons into the abyss of confrontation, his situation would have been even more difficult.

Van Gundy didn't expect his opponent to prepare this gift for Hardaway.

The frequent double-teaming made Hardaway worried every time he held the ball and did not dare to hold the ball in his hand for a long time.

He found that Rashid was not the only one who would come to double-team him. Except Alan Houston, anyone on the Pistons could come to double-team him.

The key point of the Pistons' double-team is that there is only one outside of the Knicks. Steve Smith's shooting is relatively reliable.

Pi Peng's shooting feel was unstable throughout his career, and the other two insiders were directly ignored.

In this case, it is difficult for Hardaway to become the Knicks' main attack point on the outside. The higher the frequency of double-teaming, the more he is afraid of being a gambler and dare not act.

As long as Hardaway reduces his offense, the Pistons' purpose has been achieved.

The double-team tactic is to force the ball holder to make mistakes, and to reduce the attacks of key players.

The Knicks' offensive reliance is Hardaway, and this is absolutely true.

Five starters, two inside players can be removed, and the other two, Smith averaged 16 points per game in the Knicks, which has deteriorated compared to his average of 20 points per game in the Hawks. Although there is a relationship between Hardaway and Pippen, his deterioration is obvious. No wonder the Hawks are determined to give up and keep him. It is just an increase in their burden and will not help the team's future.

As for Pipen, at the age of 35, he is still a top defender in the league. If he is given enough ball rights, he can still play 20 minutes of high-quality games while being physically strong. However, in the Knicks, he cannot compete with the penny. He started from defense and averaged points per game to the lowest year since the 1990s.

Only 12 points per game.

Then, Hardaway averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists per game. This average data and team-leading score were enough to allow him to secure a seat in the best team. He is the Knicks' offensive guarantee and the team's arrow. If there is a problem with this, the Knicks' full-set offense will have problems.

Relying on his muscles to hit the Pistons' attack, the Knicks restricted the Pistons' attack.

However, lag behind is inevitable.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were 23-28 and 5 points behind the Pistons.

Hardaway scored only 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in the first quarter. This contribution was insignificant for him. Fortunately, Steve Smith found the touch and hit the hot bomb ball continuously, otherwise the Pistons would have already taken a double-digit lead in the first quarter.

Westfar did not expect that the double-team tactic would achieve such results, so he couldn't help but look at Mo Mengchen.

Every time, he is willing to praise him like this.

"Mo, you will be a good coach in the future," said Westfal.

"I don't think about things that are so far away." Mo Mengchen smiled faintly.

In fact, each team can do the tactics of double-teaming, how to double-team, where to double-team, who participate in double-teaming, double-teaming strength and prevent the passing problems of double-teaming personnel.

This is the key to double-teaming.

This series of problems alone can give the coaching staff a headache for a long time, but when Mo Mengchen proposed the double-team tactic, it was a very mature tactic.

Mo Mengchen had already considered the issues that the coaching staff could consider. The only thing Westfall had to nod was to agree with Mo Mengchen's plan.

When he asked Mo Mengchen if he had secretly raised a group of coaches behind him, Mo Mengchen just said: "The coach usually has a lot of things, but I usually only think about one thing, so I will do some things more carefully."

Is this really the case? The longer I get along with this guy, the more shameful Westfar feels.

Speaking of daily life, why does he think Mo Mengchen is the one who is daily life?

In fact, the birth of the double-team tactic does not require much effort.

Mo Mengchen just took advantage of the time traveler to make use of future technologies and tactics.

Although Coach Lu has no other skills, his defensive system that doubles the ball holders is so good that he can hold the ball in 20 years.

1718 Finals Game 3, in this game alone, Curry was madly double-teamed by the Cavaliers 59 times in limited ball holding time.

Warriors fans must know the best how long Curry has held the ball for the longest time. However, in that short period of time, the Cavaliers double-teamed him so many times, but the effect was not very good. Among these 59 double-teams, Curry made only two mistakes, and the Cavaliers paid the price to be beaten by Durant.

Hardaway's problem is similar to Curry, except that he does not have Kevin Durant next to him.

He believed in himself more than his teammates, and he was no longer the familiar penny.

With the words and deeds of Director Lu in his previous life, Mo Mengchen only needed to fully learn the essence of the double-team tactic, and then transformed it according to Hardaway's habits. It belongs to the piston and the double-team tactic used for pennies is formed.

In the second quarter, Hardaway only sat off the court for three minutes.

Ricky Davis played singles with the ball continuously, breaking through the Knicks' defense like a lion rushing out of the cage.

So fierce and shocking, this guy has made great progress.

"He already has the ability to start," Hill said.

"Do you want to let the virtuous?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.

Hill smiled and did not answer. Although Davis already has the ability to start most teams, it is absolutely impossible to steal Hill's starter.

However, with his progress, he will definitely reach another level next season.

Even if Hill has the ability to suppress Davis, it would be a waste for Davis to keep such a player close to the All-Star level on the bench for a long time.

Mo Mengchen is not here, and the piston's double-team tactic continues to be implemented.

Hardaway was caught out of the real fire, and he shouted angrily, ready to blow up the double-team of the dog.

The double-team, mainly Davis and Ginobili, could not trap the real dragon, Hardaway. Soon, the balance was broken, and Hardaway, who was furious, scored 7 points in a row.

After six minutes in the second quarter, the Knicks caught the score difference to 1 point.

39 to 38

Westfar requested a timeout. Although the double-teaming tactics are good, they have high requirements for the players' defensive quality.

Davis' defense is fine, the problem lies with Ginobili. Although he is a double-season guard, he has been playing Momonchen's substitute for a long time this season, so he is the No. 1 position most of the time, and it is inevitable to face Penns. However, his defense is not good at this point and has been repeatedly defeated by Hardaway as a flaw.

"It's almost done, don't, go there."

Momontchen, Hill, Rashid, Jerome Williams replaced Ginobili, Houston, Wallace and Pollard.

"What's the ability to bully a rookie?" Mo Mengchen informed Hardaway, "Your favorite, original double-team will be here soon."

The Pistons attacked first, and Mo Mengchen decided to shoot a three-pointer to warm his hands.

"Don't even think about it!"

Hardaway was like a close friend and never gave him a shot.

The Pistons made a V-shaped attack, and Hill's arc top breakthrough simply broke through the Knicks' first defense line. It doesn't matter. Their defensive rotation ranks at the forefront of the league and is not afraid of such a level of breakthrough.

Hill also realized that it was difficult to achieve something with such a breakthrough alone, so he continued to go deeper.

Before he could run from the outside, Hill flew on the layup, causing Mutombo to foul and make a layup after the confrontation.

"Good ball, Grant!"

Adrian still prefers Hill's tough style of playing.

Ephraim was also frightened to see it. He was used to Mo Mengchen's elegant playing style. Hill's simple and rough hard-pull attack easily made people worry if he would land and twist his feet.

Added penalty hit, 42 to 38.

"Are you going to come again? You've thought about it."

Mo Mengchen said softly that Hardaway was preparing to break through, but the one who should not be double-teamed boldly rushed to his side and gave him a fatal defense.

Davis actually boldly left Steve Smith and double-teamed with Momonchen.

It’s not necessary to say how risky it is to do this. What made Davis succeed was unexpected. Hardaway didn’t expect Davis to dare to do this and was not prepared for the side. So his double-teaming worked and pennies dropped the ball.

Mo Mengchen picked up the ball on the ground and threw it into the frontcourt without letting the penny foul.

"Ricky Davis's performance moment is here!"

Another flying stream.

Davis' Tomahawk dunked, and the difference was 6 points.

"Ricky's progress is very obvious. He once replaced Hill's starter this season, averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game."

"His rapid progress allows Grant and Dor.mo to rest assured off the court."

Davis ran back and was about to slap Momonchen.

"It is a good thing to have an adventurous spirit, but don't be addicted to adventure." Mo Mengchen reminded him.

Davis was about to nod, but heard Mo Mengchen say again.

“I did a good job just now.”

Mo Mengchen's praise made him feel great satisfaction, and he wanted to double-team Hardaway again.

Davis also knew that such double-teams could only appear once a night. As long as Hardaway was not stupid, from now on, every attack would be divided into part of his attention and staring at him.

Whenever he moves rashly, the basketball will instantly pass to Smith.

Faced with frequent pincer attacks, Hardaway is definitely not without the power of backhand.

At first, he was surprised, then discomfort, and now he was full of anger. He had had enough of the piston's tricks.

Hardaway called pick-and-roll, and Rashid was preparing to double-team, but he didn't go in the direction of pick-and-roll. This time he deceived Rashid and Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen couldn't help but hit the wall. Hardaway dribbled the ball with his left hand, completely threw away Mo Mengchen, and quickly dribbled the ball to the 45-degree angle on the left to make a three-pointer.

With this goal, he chased the gap to 3 points.
