The first match between the Knicks and the Pacers was held at Madison Garden Plaza, after all, the Knicks ranked first.

Madison Garden Plaza was full of seats. For Knicks fans, it was a fantasy season. The home team played a gorgeous game in the regular season and achieved the first record in history, which was extremely happy for them.

The game is about to begin amid the cheers of fans.

The Pacers' starting lineup is: Danny Granger, Hansbrew, Darren Collison, Roy Hibert, and Paul George.

This is not the Pacers' regular season lineup. Paul George was temporarily transferred. In the entire regular season, Paul George started no more than twenty games.

The Knicks' starting lineup is even more intriguing.

The Knicks' starting lineups are: Zhou Mubai, Kevin Martin, Iguodala, Tyson Chandler and Yao Ming!

The Knicks replaced Tony Allen with Kevin Martin, and Yao Ming replaced Fry.

The Knicks' inside height is simply terrifying. Yao Ming is 229cm and Chandler is also 210 in height, forming two towers under the basket.

The Pacers' Hibert is 218cm tall, and the NBA is the first taller than Yao Ming. This was originally the Pacers' advantage, but now it has been compared to the Knicks.

Cole had a smile on his face. The reason why he dared to let Yao Ming and Chandler be there at the same time was that Chandler was fast enough that he could play power forwards. Besides, he had no problem with Hibert or power forward Hansblu.

Pacers' power forward Hansblu is a coolie power forward. He fights tough and fights hard, but the middle distance is unstable and has no three-pointers. He can only defend and rebound hard.

So when Yao Ming and Chandler were on the court, there was no problem in defense, and it was even targeted, especially when Yao Ming was against Hibert.

Hibert took slow moves and moved slowly, but felt good. In fact, he was the other Yao Ming. Of course, his stability and threat were much worse than Yao Ming. Yao Ming defended him with absolute height advantage and his footsteps were not slower than him.

Yao Ming and Hibert jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Yao Ming took the lead in transferring the ball to Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mubai turned his hand and gave it to Godara, and found a place to settle down.

When Yao Ming was on the court, the Knicks didn't have to hurry to play, but now the Knicks are really not hurry to play. Iguodala slowly passed the frontcourt and only passed the ball when Yao Ming fell to the position.

Yao Ming received the ball with his back and did not rush to get the ball down, but observed his teammates' running position.

Zhou Mubai ran out of the baseline and pretended to catch the ball at the three-point line. Paul George was tricked and wanted to save the ball, but there was no ball at this moment. Chandler moved up and Zhou Mubai immediately cut in with Chandler's space.

The Knicks' Princeton tactics are actually mutated. Although Chandler assumes some of the passing responsibilities, his strengths are not here. Therefore, the Knicks' Princeton pass core is actually composed of Zhou Mubai and Iguodala. Of course, it is not bad to say, but this will indeed detract from Princeton's power. The Knicks can obviously be better.

Yao Ming's comeback fills this.

What makes Yao Ming stronger than Chandler is that he has strong inside dominance. Once he gets the ball at a low post, if the opponent does not hit him, his offensive efficiency will be extremely high!

Yao Ming's middle distance is even more stable. When he goes to the free throw line to be the core of the ball, his opponent dares not let him go, so that Princeton's tactics can be truly implemented.

If there is an offensive threat, you can support it.

Yao Ming held the ball in a low position, and the Pacers' attention was on Yao Ming in an instant, but Zhou Mubai ignored the cutting.

Yao Ming threw the ball to Zhou Mubai, who was cutting the ball in the middle. Hibert was shocked and quickly let go Yao Ming and went back to defend. Seeing that Zhou Mubai had already jumped high, the best choice at this time was to avoid it. However, Hibert relied on his height and saw that it was Zhou Mubai, he bravely met him.

First, he felt that Zhou Mubai was thin and he should be average in the confrontation. Second, Zhou Mubai is the number one in the league today. If he could treat him to a hot pot, it would be of great help to boost his fame.

Speaking of which, Hibert is just a young man in his early twenties, so it is normal for him to become famous.

But he found the wrong partner.

Hibert is very tall. If he waited for the defense at the basket, Zhou Mubai would not be willing to challenge because it was too high, but height was not the only decisive factor for this kind of supplementary defense, as well as speed.

He could not keep up with his speed when he made up for defense like this. This was a time difference. Zhou Mubai directly pressed Hibert to dunk!

Madison Garden Square suddenly boiled.

The little guard who is more than 1.9 meters tall and the big center with a 218cm buckle is really exciting!

Pacers attack.

Collison dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt. In front of him was Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai's fast-moving league is well-known. He didn't dare to do too many moves and quickly gave the ball to Danny Granger.

This Pacers have two offensive cores, one is Hibert and the second is Danny Granger.

Granger has reached his peak in recent seasons and is also a strong scorer with an average of 20 games. He is now the leader of this Pacers, but in fact, like Kevin Martin, he can only be the leader of a weak team.

What he has to face now is Iguodala's defense. Iguodala's defense is airtight. Although it does not seem to be extremely aggressive, it follows every step. Cross-step defense is very effective against skilled attackers like Granger.

Granger broke through inside, and Iguodala followed him step by step, otherwise he would have had a chance to take action easily, but he did not give much physical confrontation. Granger successfully broke through to the basket, turned around and was about to throw. As soon as the ball ran out, he was slapped away by Chandler who had jumped up!

The Pacers' ball rights, but there is not much time left. Granger sent the ball to Collison, and Collison hung the ball to Hibert. Hibert took the ball to face Yao Ming and it took a middle distance. Yao Ming raised his hand and tapped the ball, but the ball didn't even touch the frame.

Zhou Mubai's eyes were quick and quick, and he grabbed the ball directly.

This kind of ball is an excellent opportunity to launch a counterattack. Zhou Mubai did not wait for Yao Ming, but immediately launched a fast attack.

There are many or fewer participants in the fast attack, and it is best to participate in the five more people. The fewer people can also be frightened.

Those involved in the fast break were Kevin Martin and Iguodala, as well as Zhou Mubai, who dribbled.

The three men advanced in three lines, Zhou Mubai advanced quickly, and after halftime, Iguodala rushed into the basket quickly. Iguodala hung the ball, and Zhou Mubai took off in the air and stuffed the ball into the basket!

Yao Ming and Chandler didn't even go through it. It was not because they were lazy, but because of tactical arrangements.

Zhou Mubai believes that the opportunity for fast attack is basically just one time. If he fails to shoot, there is basically no chance. The center can't help but run over. Instead, he wastes a lot of energy on running back and forth. It's better to just stay on the defensive end to rest, save their physical strength and not be beaten by the opponent to counterattack.

Zhou Mubai returned to defense, pointed at Yao Ming, and greeted him.

Yao Ming's return is of great significance, not only means that Princeton's tactics have a tactical core, but also has excellent supplements in the inside height.
