The Knicks' home team locker room is quite luxurious. There is no way, no shortage of money. The Knicks itself is a team with extremely strong money-making ability. The boss Dolan is the big boss of CNPC. In the past few years, he spent money on the team.

Lin Yang had never been to this luxurious home team locker room before. Glen Ward should have mentioned their advantage earlier when signing with him.

Xiao Si put on an ice pack and applied his knees. The 12 points in a single quarter were not without consequences in the second quarter, and the consumption was obviously a little large.

Other players gathered around waiting for D'Antoni to come in. Everyone was very happy to play a good advantage in the first half. Last year, the Knicks won a total of 29 victories, most of which were won away. Being able to win a home game is almost the same as the New Year.

There is no way, who made the Knicks' home court be the famous Madison Garden Square. This arena has become a landmark in New York after two centuries of changes. Every visiting team comes here with the idea of ​​conquering Madison Garden Square.

After several minutes, D'Antoni walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Go to get a cup of coffee, it tasted very good. He allowed me to analyze your performance in the first half more clearly."

Lin Yang finally believes a joke online, why did D'Antoni be able to train the Suns with such a fast offensive rhythm in the first ten years of the 21st century, and wish he could play 24 seconds in every round. That's because his speed towards Starbucks is faster than the Suns' offensive rhythm.

Taking a sip of coffee, D'Antoni gathered his suit, and his silver hair that was meticulous most of the time, the entire locker room became serious from the noise before he came in.

"You guys, don't be so nervous. I'm very satisfied with your performance in the first half. To be honest, since Phoenix left, I have rarely felt the feeling of 60 points in the half."

"Especially you, Lin, I like your breakthroughs and layups, every point you get is crucial."

"Amare, you will prove that without Steve in this game, you are still one of the strongest inside players in the league in offense."

"Danilo, I need you to be more decisive outside the three-point line. Don't hesitate when you have an opportunity. Don't worry, if you really can't make a shot, I'll let you sit on the bench."

...Wait, boss, something is wrong. We ended halftime and not the end of the whole game. And we were only 11 points ahead. Why did you hold the commendation meeting?

After the commendation, D'Antoni raised the coffee in his hand: "So the second half is like the first half, just do it hard and you'll be done."

Is this your tactic? It's really perfect (not) beautiful (as if you are) indiscriminate (say).

But this wave of small chicken soup made the Knicks scream in excitement, and they wanted to go on the court and kill the Raptors immediately.

When Lin Yang stepped out of the home team's locker room door at the end of the half-time break, he even wondered whether the Raptors would replicate the first half of the Istanbul night at the beginning and then come out to save the world by themselves?

The Raptors decisively gave up Reggie Evans at the beginning and are now behind. They want to chase points. You can expect him to score 20 rebounds in one game and it is impossible to see him score 5 points.

What was replaced was not a big center, but a veteran Calderon, who allowed Calderon and Jack to play a double defender. DeRozan pushed it to the third position and Banyani became a center.

The only one in the entire lineup who does not have three-point ability is probably DeRozan, but he can break through, shoot mid-range shots, and cut empty spaces.

What a familiar lineup this will be in a few years. Could it be that the guy who was wearing a suit and directing like a man like a man came here through time?

The Raptors' rhythm was very fast. Before the Knicks, who had just finished the commendation meeting, seemed to have not yet woken up from the excitement of the commendation meeting. The Raptors' offense had already swept over, and Calderon was the core figure in promoting this offense.

When you see Calderon, you must mention the draft in 2005. This draft is undoubtedly a point guard carnival. Although the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick are Bogut and Marvin Williams, after that, three consecutive rookies have been point guards.

Tanhua Xiu Delong Williams, the current Jazz boss and once one of Yao Ming's victims, entered the Western Conference Finals in the Wild West before the new Utah double evil spirits broke apart.

Fourth, Chris Paul, now the Hornets boss, second in MVP in 2008, and has been averaging 2010 data per game all year round. He is now dating the Lakers. If there is no accident, he might see Kobe Paul, the best defender combination in history next year.

These two point guards have gradually taken over the banner of "not attacking" and "not guarding" and have become the hottest point guards in the league now.

As for the fifth rookie... Lin Yang silently looked at Raymond Felton who was entangled with Calderon on the court. Brother, compared to the two in front, you are too disappointed.

In addition to these three, Calderon, who joined as a free agent in 2005, is also an excellent point guard, and now the veteran is using his rich experience to lead the entire Raptors.

As a typical European point guard, Jose Calderon likes to use it to guide players at the right place at the right time and make sure teammates do what they should do.

During this fast break, he found Banyani, who had a very accurate insertion opportunity. Both of them were European players and played in the Raptors for five years together. The tacit understanding between the two sides was very high.

Calderon sent the basketball in his hand forward and just delivered it to Banyani.

Banyani's speed is not fast, which is relative to Stoudemier and Gallinari. Facing Mozkov, his speed advantage is reflected. Before Mozkov reacted and completed the turn, he had already put the ball into the basket.

This showdown is just a microcosm of Raptors VS Knicks and Calderon VS Felton. In the control field, Felton was completely defeated by Calderon.

What D'Antoni emphasized was to play the rhythm of the first half. What was the rhythm of the Knicks in the first half? Counterattack and fast attack, which is the familiar rhythm of Felton and this Knicks.

But now the rhythm is forcibly suppressed by Calderon. The Raptors are pressing on the position in every round, and the multiple runs ensure success rate.

One way to suppress fast breaks is to ensure success rate. After you succeed, you must take the ball and retreat to the sideline to serve, instead of taking the rebound to launch a fast break.

The advantage of 11 points is not big, especially for a team like the Knicks that have poor defense, the score difference is almost flattened in less than half a quarter.
