Hollins' defense is mainly arranged for Zhou Mubai, but now the Knicks' style of playing has left him with no focus on the defense he has arranged.

What's scary about this kind of offense is that everyone becomes threatening. In the past, the attack was just as long as the three-point shooter was defended and not boldly putting the three-pointers. Now, the offense is full of ball transmission, and the number of off-ball running and off-ball screens increases. The players under the empty-cut basket are threatening. When everyone cannot let go, it is very difficult to defend.

This is the result Zhou Mubai wants. This style of play can't target him.

Hollins attacked Zhou Mubai, but the increase in the empty cut allowed Zhou Mubai's passing skills to fully utilize. At the end of the half, Zhou Mubai had already assisted in double assists.

This is even more efficient than his previous assists!

In fact, this is true.

The real three-point shooting rate is high, but the shooting rate is definitely not as good as the layup, and it is not even as good as the middle distance. The more attacks you get from the empty-cut basket, the more assists Zhou Mubai will have.

Zhou Mubai's rebounds are also increasing. Because with multiple people running, everyone in the Grizzlies cannot stand on the defense and must move to keep up with their opponents. Marc Gasol has no way to focus on guarding the basket, so Zhou Mubai's rebounds are much easier to grab, and the rebounds are also doubled at the end of the half!

Zhou Mubai scored 14 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds in the first half.

There are slightly less scoring than when holding the ball, because there are more opportunities for assists, so he doesn't need to use singles to open up the situation.

Donny Walsh, sitting in the audience, finally convinced why Zhou Mubai would rather kick D'Antoni away, insisted on tactical reforms.

After this tactical reform, everyone can participate in the attack and everyone is threatened. Zhou Mubai has hidden in the system, and the opponent has no way to target him.

Is this what Zhou Mubai wants?

It's really amazing!

The Grizzlies' proud defense could not defend against the Knicks at all. They clocked in in the third quarter. Zhou Mubai scored 26 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds. This is just Zhou Mubai's 24-minute data!

The Knicks beat the Grizzlies 32 points in the game!

After watching the whole game, Knicks fans felt that the team did not seem to have much effort to defeat the Grizzlies. The team's offense seemed to have no focus, just the players kept running.

Especially Zhou Mubai, he stopped for a moment and kept running. He either shot directly or was like a hot potato when he received the ball. He passed the ball out before he could catch it. However, in this way, Zhou Mubai's assist quickly became double-double, which made some fans feel a little puzzled.

When an expert studied the Knicks' data after the game, he was surprised to find that the Knicks' scoring area had changed greatly. The Knicks' scoring area before was outside the three-point line. Now more than 50% are scored at the basket, and the Knicks' shooting percentage is as high as 52%!

This is a very high hit rate. Generally speaking, the team's shooting rate can reach more than 40% is a very high hit rate, but the Knicks are more than ten percentage points higher.

The significance of this game is very important. It is not just about defeating a weak team. The Grizzlies are weak, but when they are weak, their offense rather than defense, and their defense is enough to rank in the top five in the league.

But even though the Grizzlies have such a tough defense, they cannot organize effective defense in front of the Knicks, which shows how scary the Knicks' offense is.

The key to the problem is that the Knicks' offensive method has completely changed, from extreme individualism to extreme collectivism, which has made many coaches think about the countermeasures against Zhou Mubai that they have become waste paper.

Miami.

Coach Spoelstra fell into deep thought after watching the video of the game, and even James Wade came in.

"Coach." James shouted.

Spoelstra woke up from a dream: "Oh, LeBron, Dwyane, you are here."

James's face was not particularly good: "Coach, have you watched the Knicks and the Grizzlies' game?"

Spolstra nodded, his voice a little heavy: "The Knicks are a threat again."

James nodded: "They have always been threats. I have never underestimated Zhou Mubai. No matter how others underestimate the Knicks, we should not underestimate Zhou Mubai. He will definitely surprise everyone.

I finally understand why Coach D'Antoni left because his tactical philosophy was inconsistent with Zhou Mubai's, which is why he left.

I would rather coach D'Antoni have not left yet. If I still played the original tactics, although the Knicks are still terrible, they will not be as threatening as they are now."

Spoelstra nodded: "Do you think this tactic has increased the strength of the Knicks a lot?"

James said in a deep voice: "There are a lot, this is the most suitable way to play in the Knicks' current lineup. In order to enhance the defense, the Knicks introduced Tony Allen and Iguodala, and with Zhou Mubai and Chandler, three of these four people did not have stable three-pointers. If you follow the original style of play, the offense of this lineup will have great problems, but using the variant Princeton tactics, Iguodala, Tony Allen and Chandler will all become terrible killers!"

Wade nodded in agreement: "The Knicks have become our biggest stumbling block to break out of the East!"

Boston.

Doug Rivers turned off the TV with a snap, turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

There were Garnett, Pierce, Rondo and others sitting in front of the TV. Everyone's face was not very good because they replaced their team's defense into the Grizzlies' defensive players. They felt it was very difficult to defend such a Knicks, especially those who were slower.

Without the ball cover, empty cut, and quick conduction of the ball, such an offense requires quick defense to be able to defend, and these experienced veterans have seen the biggest problem.

The problem is that when the Knicks attack in this most collective way, it actually means that they can best exert Zhou Mubai's individual attack ability.

It is both collective and individual, and it sounds a bit contradictory, but it is actually not a conflict.

Because everyone cannot let go when there are threats, then Zhou Mubai cannot be attacked. After passing the unball cover, it is likely to cause misalignment. Think about it, if Garnett or Perkins is dislocated to defend Zhou Mubai, how bad will this situation be?

Extremely bad!

This is the common idea for everyone!
