The Knicks still won the third game easily, and they were already 24 points in the third quarter, but Wu Huang didn't want to end up too early. He told coach D'Antoni: "Even if I let me practice, keep it in shape." Although the beard did not agree to Wu Huang's request in the end, a playoff game made the Holy Master a training game, which shows how bad the situation of the 76ers is.

This is the second time that the Knicks have taken a 3-0 lead in the first round of the playoffs since last season's first round of the playoffs. Their attack power is no longer something that a team in the eighth division can resist.

No surprise this year, the Knicks will still make a quick decision in the first round, which is very beneficial to their subsequent matches. For this young 76ers, whether it is coaches or players, most of them are not ready to deal with this playoffs, especially against the Knicks. Now it is difficult to ensure that they are not swept. But this is not their fault. Faced with the defending champion who is proficient in various offensive methods, the 76ers cannot defend against pick-and-roll, singles, and internal and external connections and three-pointers. They can't do anything at all.

"We need to learn how to defend differently, we need to know what works and what doesn't work," said 76ers' small forward Seidis Young. "We can't let them get into the penalty area so easily because they'll get open three-pointers or dunks. So we need to do better."

As a defense that relies on winning, the 76ers are no longer strong enough in front of the Knicks. Another more serious problem is mistakes. The total number of mistakes in their three games has reached 45, which is enough for the Knicks to easily get more than 80 points through counterattacks. It can be said that under the premise of such a high mistake, the 76ers basically have no chance of winning.

"We are a young team, and this kind of thing always happens." Brand said after the game that the old captain had limited contributions in the series under the blockade of the Knicks' two inside players, and he seemed helpless at this time.

The Sixers have made adjustments today. They let Wilson Chandler appear in the starting lineup, and this change has also been questioned because the old New York player performed not in a stable manner in the regular season. Head coach Collins explained that the adjustment was because he felt that the team needed Chandler's understanding of the Knicks. But the result was that the latter played infernal defense. Compared to Turner, who did a pretty good job in defense, Chandler's defense was much worse. Besides, the Knicks are no longer the Knicks that Chandler is familiar with.

The New York Times reported after the game: In the third game of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Knicks defeated the 76ers 116:96, leading 3-0 in the total score.

In this game, Knicks core Hugo scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in three quarters. Inside player David West made 8 of 12 shots, with excellent efficiency and 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Gasol also performed well on 6 of 11 shots, and veteran Bathir made 3 of 5 three-pointers. The collective performance of the new players further showed the Knicks' wisdom in transfer operations.

Among the five new players in the Knicks this season, the two inside players have always performed well. Bathir scored a total of 11 three-pointers in the first three games of the playoffs, with a three-point shooting percentage of 44%. He provided the team with excellent assisted defense and stable offensive three-pointers on the wing, and his performance exceeded the Knicks' requirements for him.

Isaiah Thomas and Hassan Whiteside also got a certain playing time in these three games. Thomas' performance on the offensive end was slightly insufficient. His too sticky style of play is easily double-teamed by opponents in the playoffs, and Thomas' scoring and efficiency have decreased compared to the regular season. However, Whiteside's performance is eye-catching. In these games that were won by big scores, the inside lineman who was laid off by the CBA team last year showed a unique sense of smell and control on the rebound. In his 29 minutes of playing time in three games, he grabbed a total of 16 rebounds and contributed 5 blocks. His amazing rebounding and blocking efficiency showed his potential on the defensive end.

The New York Times has begun to notice the defensive potential of the Knicks, a brain-dead child. Whiteside showed his talent in rebounding and blocking after being recalled. Although he was bad when he performed poorly, overall, he still played a completely different performance from other basic-paying players. Yes, Whiteside, as a player who averaged only more than ten minutes of playing time, his data is obviously higher than that of his players of the same status, which can be seen as a demonstration of his potential.

The Rockets' Mourning is said to have targeted Whiteside of the Knicks, Vucevic of the 76ers and Asik of the Bulls. If he uses his formula to calculate, these three can hand over excellent data of 12+10 with sufficient playing time. The most important thing is that their value is not high, and the original team will not offer them too high contracts to retain them. These people are the most suitable poaching targets in his eyes.

Knicks fans are not too worried. After Arenas, the league team can no longer use similar methods to poach people. Whiteside's next contract can only get one middle class at most, but the Knicks thinks that no one will really use the middle class to rob Whiteside. People who do that kind of thing will definitely have a brain problem.

New York media and fans believe that their brainless child is not worth a full middle class at the moment. He is worth up to a contract worth 8 million for three years or 12 million for four years. This is due to his good potential, otherwise his current strength would not even be worth a contract like this.

"I've said a long time ago that the Knicks will not be threatened in the first round. The 76ers are just a poor man they use to warm up. Let's see if the Pacers, who have made rapid progress this season, can cause some trouble for the Knicks." Barkley's big mouth is no longer idle now. "Yes, I think the Pacers will win in the fourth and fifth matches in the East, because they remain healthy inside, and the Eagles' main center Horford is reimbursed."

Al Horford was injured again in the third game with the Pacers. The Hawks center only played 20 games in the regular season. He returned to the front line before the playoffs, but his physical condition obviously has not recovered yet. He was injured again after playing three playoffs. This time he was really reimbursed. Now the Hawks, which lack the main center, are already inferior to the Pacers in their interior strength. McGrady's spell seems to be continuing to work.

The tragedy of the Hawks this year also made many of McGrady's black fans very happy. They all shouted that if McGrady hadn't been holding the Holy Leader's thigh two years ago, she might not have broken through the second round so far; some New York fans even took the opportunity to complain that the Knicks were eliminated by the Magic that year, and all of them were too dark, otherwise they would have won the championship two years ago, so how could the Lakers have won the two consecutive championships!

This kind of face is quite ugly. The so-called pink and black top are probably talking about these people.

New York media are now paying more attention to Hibert, known as the "Black Yao Ming". While the Knicks swept the Pacers in the first round last season, Hibert failed to play his height advantage, which instead highlighted his slow pace, poor rebounding, and poor basic skills.

However, after last season's playoffs and this season's training, Hibert has grown into an All-Star center. He is tall and long, and his shooting feel is softer. He is also more solid in hook shots this season. His movement speed has improved when defending pick-and-roll in defense. He played like a fish in Vogel's offensive and defensive tactical system at half-court. He averaged 14 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks in the first three games of the playoffs, especially in the third game with an astonishing 9 blocks. Hibert is now the mainstay of the Pacers' inside defensive end, and it is also an extremely difficult existence for the Eagles.

The Knicks have begun to pay attention to these two teams. At present, the Pacers have the greatest chance of qualifying. They have Granger and the fast-rise Paul George on the outside, Hibert and practical blue-collar Hansblu in the inside, Collison and George Hill on the point guard, and James Percy and Fry on the substitute are also sitting on the bench. With the improvement of experience and team tacit understanding, this Pacers are much stronger than last year. It is impossible for the Knicks to beat their opponents like last year.

After the first three games of the first round, the Knicks, Spurs and Thunder continued to maintain a record of winning all the games, and the results of other games were mostly in line with their respective rankings and strengths.

Western Conference Division - Spurs (3) vs (0) Nuggets; Thunder (3) vs (0) Lakers; Grizzlies (2) vs (1) Rockets; Clippers (1) vs (2) Mavericks.

Eastern Division - Knicks (3) vs (0) 76ers; Bulls (2) vs (1) Magic; Heat (2) vs (1) Celtics; Pacers (2) vs (1) Hawks.

The victory between the Spurs and the Knicks seemed easy. Although the Thunder also scored 3:0, the Lakers maintained the suspense until the last minute every time. Kobe's three-pointer defeat in the third game made the Thunder difficult to win away. However, no matter what, the Lakers fell behind 0:3 and could not turn the tables again.

The Grizzlies and the Rockets failed to decide the winner for four quarters. In the end, Yao Ming was unable to maintain his outstanding performance in the regular time period and scored only one point on free throws in the last five minutes, which made the Rockets lose in overtime.

In the whole game, although the Little Giants scored 32 points and 18 rebounds in the game, he still failed to help the team win.

Mayo scored the Grizzlies' highest score of 30 points, and Randolph also scored 25 points. As long as one of the Grizzlies' backcourt performs well, the Rockets will not be able to win the game. Once it is delayed to overtime, there is even less hope. Yao Ming has no physical fitness for more than 38 minutes, but when it is overtime, Yao Ming's playing time will inevitably exceed 38 minutes, which is the most painful thing for Rockets fans.

But what makes Knicks fans feel the most imperfect is that both the Bulls and the Heat won the game, especially the Heat beat the Celtics 26 points away. This performance is the last thing Knicks fans want to see. At this moment, their biggest enemy in the East is the Heat. The Miami people are in such an excellent state, which is not good news for them.

On May 4, D'Antoni was also very unhappy today because the NBA officially announced the winner of the 2011-2012 season's Best Head Coach of the Year, and San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Vic was successfully elected.

This season, the Spurs achieved a second record in the league of 48 wins and 18 losses under the leadership of Vic, and became the Western Conference regular season champion for the second consecutive year. Vic also won the favor of the media and commentators with his exquisite rotation.

As early as the 2002-03 season, Vic was elected the best coach of the year, and now he has won this honor again. Among the 119 sports reporters and commentators who participated in the voting for this award, 77 chose Vic in their first place vote, which also gave the famous coach an overwhelming advantage in this regard.

D'Antoni believed that he led the team to win the first record in the league and had 4 more wins than the Spurs, so he deserved to win the best coach, but in the end he only won 28 first votes, which was a huge gap from Vicky. In the eyes of these professional journalists and commentators, he was obviously much worse than Vicky.

The media believes that Vicky is very good at learning. He used Larry Brown and Bob Hill as assistant coaches, and had experience in North Carolina's system, and also learned from the strong side of the triangular offense. In that slow and defensive era, he led the Spurs to become one of the slowest and most regular teams in the league. After the rules reform in 2005, he immediately released Ginobili and Parker out of the cage, bringing light inside lines such as Bonner and Brell to use. In the past two years, small ball tactics have become popular, and everyone has begun to play pick-and-roll and long-range shots, just like the old opponent of the Suns, and the multiplayer peripheral rotation is very similar to the Mavericks at the time, and the Spurs immediately began to change in this direction.

If you want to ask: What kind of team is the San Antonio Spurs? This question is not even a lot of Spurs fans. They only have a vague impression. For example, David Stern always thinks that the Spurs are still the ugly team, but in fact, the impression that they give people is "old-fashioned", "refrain" and "stubborn" Spurs have been changing, and they even become faster than anyone else.

Vicky does not stick to the principle of unchanging. Duncan can change from the center axis of the inside to the high pick-and-roll, Ginobili can switch from starting to substitute, and then from breakout master to organizer. No one in the team cares about the number of shots and offensive allocation - there is actually only one fixed principle: play how you can win the ball.

When the Spurs won the championship in 2005, many teams in the league were also learning from the Spurs. They believed that this team was simply an automatic 50-win machine. No matter what lineup this season, no matter how the players are in this season, no matter how strong the opponent is, you don’t need to worry that they won’t win 50+ games in the regular season.

So the Cavaliers pulled Ferri of the old Spurs as manager and Mike Brown as head coach in order to learn the secret of the Spurs' success; the Mavericks used a young general to fight against their master Vicky in order to learn the success of the Spurs; the Thunder pulled Presti and Callesimo, and Durant in 2010 also publicly said that he wanted to be a player like Duncan - but the question is, what did these teams learn when they learned the Spurs?

If you answer this question with what everyone knows, they learn "Spurs' defense, unity, and stability". Of course, this answer cannot be hit by a fork, but if you look closely: if the "Spurs" are replaced with "Pistols from 2005-08" and "Celtics from 2007 to the present", they are still universal, and this is not the real secret of the Spurs' success.

In fact, even the four seasons when the Spurs won the championship, the details are very different. Many people want to learn from the Spurs, but they don’t know that the Spurs like to learn from others the most. The old man who is rigid, rigid, and often spits out the players’ faces, is the best at learning other people’s success rules for his own use.

In 1999, the Spurs' double tower high and low line connections were the shadows of the Rockets and Lakers. Their top-up instigation and wing three-pointers also had the Rockets' championship, and even the Bulls' shadows.

In 2003, Parker and Jackson were the second in the team, with three scorers, two of them broke through and shot, and Duncan took a big shot in the inside. At this time, the Spurs changed their playing style and even saw the shadow of the triangle offense.

In 2005, Ginobili broke through like a snake on the periphery, Duncan + one white and one black double inside rotation, Vicky was still taking medicine according to the prescription based on the player's status and league rules.

2007: Ginobili returned to the bench, and the Spurs' pick-and-roll became unprecedentedly crazy. It is hard to say that this was not stimulated by the Crazy Suns. The three-pointer has since become one of the Spurs' main offensive methods.

The main theme of the Spurs in 2010-12 was to speed up, pick-and-roll at high positions, and continue to strengthen three-pointers. This is more like the Knicks' style of playing now. Now, they specially brought Dior, who is good at playing runs and bombs, to join the team. During the trading period, they even wanted to trade from the Knicks. Danny Green, all of which showed that the old man was targeting the Knicks again.

So, what can you learn from the Spurs? The Spurs always follow the trend. They will introduce them according to their needs and improve them according to their own characteristics.

If you think about it carefully, these excellent head coaches in the league are very interesting. Zen masters will promote his magical triangular offense everywhere; D'Antoni will speed up + three-pointers everywhere; Adelman will attack in a random way. And Vicky? In the past fifteen years, except for the unchanged winning numbers, he seems to be the most changeable person, no less changes than Adelman.

The Spurs' philosophy first requires the coaching team members to communicate frequently. Discipline, obligation, honest communication, pursuit of sacrifice for the team, having fun, trust each other, and producing good chemical reactions. Therefore, when the Spurs sign people, they always pursue guys who "think nothing except winning". It can be imagined that when the Spurs are filled with guys like Duncan, Ginobili, and Leonard who "if I play, I also like to partner with them." "team collaboration" is naturally formed, and Vic does not even need to emphasize what a team is.

Parker's current label is stable and has high execution ability, but he was a fool who could only break through in his early years. In terms of recklessness, he is no less than Westbrook today. But in the past years of his team, he has become a selfless, intelligent, skilled, and perfect point guard who can play and pass in the past few seasons.

Wu Huang was scrambling on the court again today. Under the cover of his own inside, he found an opportunity to score 4 three-pointers in the first half. The Knicks led by 62:48 at the half. The suspense of this game seemed to be small again after one half.

The 76ers are as depressed as the Nuggets. The Knicks and the Spurs have not given their opponents any chance. These two teams are the only teams in the first round of the playoffs that dominate. Their fans can enjoy the game process with confidence every second, without any need to worry about the team's failure. The answer has been announced in advance.

In the third quarter, the Knicks players were relieved again on the defensive end, in order to get more points in the last game of the first round. However, Whiteside, a naughty young man, had no vision. After playing at the end of the third quarter, the bastard sent two blocks in a row, and then grabbed another frontcourt rebound to make up the dunk, which instantly made the difference reach 22 points.
Chapter completed!
