Chapter 69: Innate Theory Is Still Interesting?
The 76ers' offense stopped, but the Knicks' offense did not.
Although Leonard's shooting is not good, his empty cut is very good and he can still play his role.
Moreover, when Leonard was on the court, the Knicks also had an advantage in rebounding, and his rushing and long arms were too powerful!
Thompson's off-ball running tied the 76ers' defense into a ball. After dozens of games and Zhou Mubai's guidance, Thompson's off-ball running has been improved a lot.
Although it is far from its peak, it is enough for the current Knicks.
The point is that Thompson is not the one that poses the most threat.
For the 76ers, the biggest threat is Zhou Mubai instead of Thompson.
The 76ers must use half of their defensive strength to defend him, which is why Thompson often has the opportunity to run out of open positions to shoot. The 76ers are willing to let Thompson shoot, but they are not willing to let Zhou Mubai get the ball.
Zhou Mubai's pick-and-roll became a nightmare for the 76ers. If Zhou Mubai doesn't attack, he will either shoot or suddenly have too much threat. If he hits him, he will have to miss the pick-and-roll man.
OK, if you can't defend alone, you can only take it back and prevent it.
But Thompson made a three-pointer, and while the 76ers were penetrated inside, three-pointers were also raining on the outside.
The 76ers' walls have become sieves full of holes!
The premise of winning the championship when defending is that your offense is also strong enough, and you don’t require you to be unparalleled, as long as it is similar to your opponent.
The Sixers' defense is good enough, but the offense is poor, which is not a big problem. Anyway, it is also a way to stick around in the playoffs.
I can't get in, so I'll just drag you into the quagmire, it depends on who will climb out first.
But when the 76ers met the Knicks, Coach Doug Collins realized that there was a saying that was really right. Most people are not yet at the time to compete for talent, but talented people will make you more desperate the harder you work!
That's right, the Knicks' talent makes people desperate!
The Knicks have veterans such as Iguodala, Tony Allen, Bogut, Fry, etc. The key is Thompson, Leonard, Nick Young, etc., which one is not a skill!
But the most terrifying one is Zhou Mubai. Whether he is the number one player in the league now needs to be discussed, but there is no doubt that he is the number one point guard in the league.
His horror lies in his ability to have top offensive capabilities, top offensive skills, top defensive capabilities, and both the impetus of young people and the calmness of old ball skin? He is like a perfect player without shortcomings!
He is even more terrifying than James and Kobe!
The efforts of the 76ers are worthless in the face of the Knicks' talent!
Although Coach Collins had long expected that he could not defeat the Knicks? He was lucky after all, but after this quarter, Collins knew that the 76ers had no chance at all? The Knicks would not give the 76ers any chance!
After the first quarter, the Knicks led by 16 points.
Coach Collins thought that the game was defeated tonight? It was difficult to get back, but the turn came unexpectedly.
Turner, who didn't make a lot of shots in the first quarter, started to hit a three-pointer? The Lu Wei who just came up also felt very good? Some balls that seemed to be unable to hit also hits, and as soon as they got up, it set off a 10:4 climax, bringing the score difference back to ten.
Coach Cole quickly called for a timeout.
But the timeout did not stop the 76ers' momentum, Turner kept covering the ball and breaking through? Then the good ball was passed.
Brand also began to make continuous hits in-game shots? The situation was actually turned back by the 76ers, 42:41!
Kerr quickly replaced Zhou Mubai, but the 76ers had already opened up, and it was not realistic to press it down all at once.
Zhou Mubai’s first solution is not defense, but offense.
Knicks' ball rights? Zhou Mubai held the ball and passed half.
Turner came up to force Zhou Mubai, wanting to create pressure on Zhou Mubai? Don’t let Zhou Mubai organize calmly.
Zhou Mubai did not make a fuss, but waved to Bogut to come up and roll.
The pick-and-roll place is up? 76ers center Hawys, who is defending Bogut, dare not get too far.
Zhou Mubai's breakthrough was too sharp, so he stepped on the three-point line to defend.
Zhou Mubai made a breakthrough around Bogut? Hawys was far away.
Zhou Mubai got the space and took action immediately? A long three-pointer hit!
42:44!
Turner dribbled through half the game? As soon as he stepped on the center line, Zhou Mubai immediately tightened and pressed forward.
Turner didn't expect Zhou Mubai to come up so quickly, and his hands and feet were messed up and Zhou Mubai stabbed the ball out.
Turner quickly went to pick up the ball. Zhou Mubai was faster than him. He snatched the ball and rushed out like a cheetah.
He got rid of Turner in one step, and there was no one in front of him. Zhou Mubai jumped high, as if he was flying, and a strong battle axe buckle!
"Wow!"
Madison Garden Square was boiling. It was not because they had no knowledge, but because they were really rare and strange.
Zhou Mubai rarely dunks. Since entering the league, he has only a handful of dunks.
During his rookie season, fans even speculated whether Zhou Mubai could dunk.
Now Zhou Mubai suddenly came like this, which surprised the fans, and it was reasonable to shout.
Barkley was surprised: "It's a pity that Zhou Mubai did not invite him to participate in the Slam Dunk this season!
He should win three consecutive championships. You see the strength and height. If I were a judge, I would give it tenth!"
42:46!
Zhou Mubai came back and scored 5 points in a row, and suddenly overtook the score by 4 points.
Coach Collins was so dark that he was a little scary.
He was hesitating whether to call a timeout, because once Zhou Mubai scored, it was not one or two, and it was usually a series of things.
The 76ers' ball was right, and Lu Wei went around the cover to catch the ball with the three-point line, but this time he failed to hit and the basketball bounced high.
Bogut grabbed the rebound and passed it to Zhou Mubai, and Zhou Mubai ran wildly.
Holiday quickly chased Zhou Mubai, who suddenly rushed to the basket and passed the ball to Bogut who followed in the middle.
Bogut did not go strong and held the ball high to look for opportunities. Zhou Mubai did not stop after passing the ball, but went around to the bottom corner.
Bogut immediately passed the ball from his head and hands to Zhou Mubai.
Zhou Mubai raised the ball and Holiday was shaken, but he did not give up and slapped it.
Zhou Mubai was prepared for it. He knew that Holiday was very good at cutting the ball. He avoided the luck and took a shot before making a move. He hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner!
42:49!
Coach Doug Collins couldn't help it anymore and rushed into the court and called a timeout!
Barkley smiled and shook his head: "Last season's playoffs proved that talent theory is not omnipotent. This game tonight is reminding us that hard work is useless in the face of talent."
