After Lian Dao was substituted, it was Stoudemire who led the bench to attack.
Tony Parker and Ginobili continued to fight Stoudemire and Gallinari on offense.
The scores between the two teams have risen very quickly. Although the Spurs have done a good job on the defensive end, Duncan, who has lost the inside line, is not enough to prevent Stoudemire just by relying on Dejuan Blair.
At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 48:58.
The Knicks led by 10 points.
In the second quarter, in addition to Stoudemire's excellent performance, Gallinari also played very well. This season, Gallinari's playing time has been reduced, but in the limited playing time, Gallinari's performance is very good. , especially as a three-point shooter in the second quarter, he made 3 of 5 three-pointers from the outside, and his efficiency was amazing.
As for the Spurs, apart from Tony Parker and Ginobili, Jefferson went off with Lian Dao, and he also started scoring in the second quarter.
This is why even though the Knicks players are in good condition, the Spurs can get the score back to 10 points.
Lian Dao didn't want to waste time with the Spurs either, he was going to play in the third quarter to settle the battle.
During the intermission, Lian Dao also shouted loudly: "Come on, let's try to resolve the battle in the third quarter!"
"good!
"
In the visiting team's lounge, Parker and Ginobili were panting and recovering their physical strength. Duncan was off the field, and all the offensive pressure was put on these two people.
Parker is fine. He is at his peak right now. Although he spent a lot of energy in the first half, he still has no problem playing in the second half.
But Ginobili obviously has some physical crisis. Ginobili's physical fitness is already a problem. Coupled with his age of 33, it is difficult for him to continue to explode when he is young. Now it may be even more difficult to continue to fight.
"Coach, should we fight this game in the second half!"
After Parker finished the first half, he found that the Spurs were only 10 points behind.
Popovich glanced at Ginobili, then glanced at Jefferson, and then shook his head helplessly: "The reason why we were able to bite the score in the second quarter was because Sickle didn't play. If he was on the court, It's not going to be that easy for Richard to score, and we're probably going to be 20 or more behind."
"Moreover, Manu's physical fitness is unlikely to play for too long in the third quarter, and Sickle will definitely play in the third quarter to reap the game!"
When the Spurs players heard it, they immediately understood what Popovich meant.
Even when Lian Dao is not in good shape, he can still score 30+ in a game. What's more, this guy rested so long in the first half and has sufficient physical fitness in the second half. He will definitely not give the Spurs a chance to comeback.
Thinking of this, Parker and some players who wanted to steal their home also became more sober.
Jefferson smiled helplessly when he heard Popovich's words. He was completely restricted by Lian Dao in this game. If it wasn't for Lian Dao's rest in the second quarter, he might really be caught by the guy on the opposite side. Give zero seals.
He originally thought of revenge in this game, but it turned out to be a life of doubt that was defended.
The second half of the game started soon.
Lian Dao showed a strong desire to attack from the very beginning.
He first passed Jefferson in one step, went to the basket and dunked.
After that, on the offensive end, he once again passed Jefferson and made a mid-range fadeaway jumper.
On the defensive end, with Lian Dao playing, Jefferson, who could have provided fire support in the second quarter, misfired instantly.
Not only that, but Lian Dao cut off the ball during Jefferson's offense and assisted Danny Green to hit a three-pointer from the outside after completing the steal.
A series of offenses in the third quarter instantly extended the Knicks' lead to 17 points.
Popovich also walked back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, shouting loudly at the Spurs players on the field: "Follow Richard, don't let him score easily!"
Jefferson also really wanted to guard against Lian Dao, but he really couldn't do it.
Jefferson feels that Lian Dao is more difficult to defend than James. Although James' breakthrough Jefferson is still unstoppable, but James' shooting is unstable. He can at least let James take a step and only defend James' breakthrough route.
However, the offensive method combined with Lian Dao's sudden shot made Jefferson not know the key point of defense.
Defending Lian Dao's breakthrough, but this guy shot a three-pointer directly from the outside line.
But when he turned to defend Lian Dao's shot, this guy took another step to the inside, either scoring a mid-range jumper or dunking to the basket.
Seeing that there was no way to limit Lian Dao, the Spurs simply rushed forward on the offensive end.
However, Tony Parker's shooting percentage in the second half obviously dropped a lot, and Tony Parker's shooting stability also continued to decline as his physical fitness declined.
And Ginobili is still sitting on the bench recovering the physical energy consumed in the first half, and the Spurs' scoring stagnated for a while.
But the Knicks' offense showed no mercy.
Stoudemire made a mid-range hit, and Lian Dao fired again from outside the three-point line, then grabbed a rebound on the defensive end and assisted Holiday, who was about to go down, for a layup.
The Knicks once again played a wave of 7:3.
The Knicks extended their lead to more than 20 points.
At this time, just over 5 minutes into the third quarter.
Popovich called a timeout, and he replaced Ginobili, who had been resting for a period of time, on the field again, while the Knicks also replaced Stoudemire and Cousins, and replaced them with Millsap and David Lee.
After Ginobili came on the court, he used a snake-shaped breakthrough to get to the inside, folded his body to avoid Millsap's supplementary defense, and scored a layup.
I have to say that the soaring demon knife really seems to have got a marinated egg experience card.
Next, a mid-range shot and a three-pointer, the Argentine showed his attacking style to everyone in the Maddie Square Garden.
Especially this guy actually hit Danny Green's defense and hit two outside three-pointers in a row.
During this period of time, the Spurs played a wave of offense. Although Lian Dao could respond on the offensive end if possible, the Spurs still recovered the score to 17 points.
It's a pity that the Argentine got the experience card after all, and his stability is too poor.
When he is in a good state, he is indeed like a corned egg, omnipotent; but when he is in a bad state, he can also **** people off, and his continuous explosive ability is too poor.
The same is true in this game, Lian Dao and Ginobili fought each other for about five minutes, and Ginobili was a little weak in the end.
In the next two minutes, it became Lian Dao's stage again.
At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led the Spurs by 23 points at 73:96.
A sports car in adversity is a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation slashes demons!
This is the netizen's evaluation of the GDP trio based on the Spurs game.
Although a bit sarcastic, it is still very accurate.
One of the demon swords is Ginobili!
If a game where the Spurs are in desperation, even the demon sword Ginobili can't save it, then it is basically impossible for the Spurs to succeed in this game.
Popovich looked at the score on the scoreboard. He planned to replace all the main players in the fourth quarter and give up the game.
This game also allowed Popovich to see the weakness of the Spurs at the 3rd position. With the sudden emergence of players at the 3rd position in the league, if the Spurs cannot strengthen at the 3rd position, it may be difficult for them to get involved in the general team again. Champion now.
Thinking of this~www.mtlnovel.com~he thought again of the NCAA San Diego State University Aztecs wearing the No. 15 jersey. An all-around performance of 15.5 points and 10.6 rebounds.
Especially when he thought about the game video he saw a scout showing him some time ago, San Diego State University Aztecs VS Gonzaga Bulldogs, this little guy actually scored 23 points, 14 rebounds and 4 steals in that game amazing data.
To be honest, in that game, the performance of that unsmiling young man on both ends of the offense and defense really surprised Popovich. In the follow-up, he also asked the Spurs scouts to find the detailed physical data of this young man. .
Sure enough, this young man's static talent is amazing. In addition to his height and weight, he has a wingspan of 2.21 meters and a wide palm. The little guy with a slightly paralyzed face can definitely become a perimeter defense gate like Lian Dao!
Popovich also secretly made up his mind that he must get this young man named Kawhi Leonard in this year's draft.
