The midnight break atmosphere at Madison Garden Plaza was quite good. Because it was Christmas, everyone was able to entertain themselves. The Knicks did not have a mascot. Similarly, the Los Angeles Lakers, as a big city team, did not have one. There was never a shortage of people who could activate the atmosphere on the scene of these two teams.

The atmosphere in the stadium audience was relaxed and active, but the atmosphere in the home team's locker room seemed a little nervous.

The Knicks naturally didn't want to lose this game just like that. In the Christmas show battle, their own home court, the Knicks' lowest ticket price was four digits, and even the ticket in the middle was several thousand dollars, not to mention the first two rows, the Knicks naturally didn't want to give these fans who spent a huge amount of money to watch the game a defeat.

"The Knicks' defense actually did a good job in the first half, or it should be said that Tyson did a good job. Unfortunately, we have also seen the situation on the court. Amare and Tyson don't match each other very well. Amare needs space in the penalty area to attack, and Tyson has no offensive threat at all when he leaves the penalty area." Kenny Smith shook his head, "It seems that the Knicks' high bet this time may have problems."

However, in the commentary seat, the Shark O'Neal, the most dominant player in the penalty area in the league history, did not agree with Kenny Smith's words.

"Hey, Kenny, what you're saying now is fart. Who said that the other player who is a player who is active in the penalty area can't be a player who is also active on the edge of the penalty area? Hey! Look at the starting power forward I partnered with in three consecutive championships? Ac Green? Cobra Grant? Samaki Walker? Who can help me open up the space?"

O'Neal said that he was the authority of the penalty area and what he said must be very reasonable.

Kenny Smith touched his nose and resisted his desire to complain. Are you comparing every guy who eats in the penalty area with you?

It's like having some top players become coaches, and they will ask the same questions.

James would say why don’t you directly hit the inside with the ball?

Would Jordan say that you can turn the ball shortly after the middle distance?

O'Neal said I'm in the penalty area, give me the ball.

The magician will say that you pass the ball to the open teammate.

It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do. Although Stoudemire has won for a while and is a top-salary player in the league, it's obviously far behind O'Neal. Moreover, the Little Overlord is obviously not like O'Neal. He can also receive the ball in the previous second and put the ball in the next second. He needs space to dribble the ball in his possession, and space to cut without the ball.

This problem is also a problem that bothers D'Antoni now. However, in the second half, Chandler still had to play for the team's defense. In fact, the Knicks lost a few points in the second half of the second quarter. When Chandler just got off the court, the Knicks recovered the gap in the first quarter and led by 1 point.

The Knicks' lineup changed a little in the second half. Fei Dun came out, and Shampoo and Lin Yang partnered in the backcourt. This obviously allowed Lin Yang to play No. 1 on the offensive end, while Shampoo came up to strengthen his defense and used him to defend Westbrook who flew to the sky and the earth in the first half.

In the Knicks' first offense in the second half, the Knicks played very slowly and patiently. The Thunder's defensive arrangement was quite good. Lin Yang passed Harden and was immediately added to the position by other Thunder players.

The first round time was consumed very uncomfortable, and Lin Yang had to open the distance and return to the three-point line to play a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire again.

This pick-and-roll is a bit like the one between Feidun and Stoudemire in the first half, but during the break, the Thunder obviously had a defensive strategy for the Knicks' pick-and-roll, hitting the ball holder and delaying the passing opportunity.

However, Lin Yang's passing target this time was not the little bully who just helped him pick and roll, but the boxing champion Tyson Chandler on the same side as him on the penalty area.

In the past, Chandler had only two attack methods in the Mavericks, including aerial relay, second attack, and when it comes to the Knicks, you can't expect him to develop anything new. So, Lin Yang's pass has already aimed at him.

A beautiful dunk ended this offense. Although it was difficult for two inside players to play in the penalty area, it was possible to let a player go to the high pick-and-roll and the player look for opportunities in the low post, so they could still give up some space. And Stoudemire had a pretty good mid-range distance, and the pick-and-roll trend was more.

Of course, this tactic must not be played too much. Occasionally, taking advantage of the opponent's defense not being able to do it online, but it is obviously not possible for the second time to play. Stoudemire took the ball and broke hard, and ended up in the siege of two insiders Ibaka and Collison. He was not as good as Griffin's dribble. His ball-holding breakthrough was more suitable for 1-to-1. This siege quickly turned into a mistake for the Knicks and a counterattack by the Thunder.

The main offensive points of this lineup are Lin Yang and Anthony. No matter what their playing style is, their core attack points are Dewey Second Young Master.

Look, Dewey's two-man turn will start soon, and Westbrook and Du Shao's pick-and-roll damage are even greater than those of Lin Yang and Stoudemire.

As soon as Shampoo came on the court, he said that he had suffered deep malice. It would be fine if he wanted to defend Westbrook, the second team defender of last year. There was also a top player who came to help with the pick-and-roll, blocking this time whether he would change or not.

If you don’t change it, will Westbrook catch up with the acceleration of his horsepower?

If it is changed, can my height stop Durant from taking the ball?

In the end, Shampoo chose to eat ashes, while Chandler, who was inside, stopped Westbrook's shot but failed to stop his pass. Perkins, who received the ball, hit the ball, hit the ball at the basket.

In the first half, the two sides refused to give in, and in the second half, the two sides still competed in such a battle.

After passing the ball here, Lin Yang once again shot an arrow from the outside, hitting the second three-pointer in the game. Durant immediately returned the ball and took an unreasonable move.

At the end of the third quarter, 74:82, the score difference reached 8 points, but fortunately the score difference was still not in double digits.

Anthony seemed a little quiet after fighting against Durant in the first quarter. Although he scored 16 points in the third quarter, it was obviously apart from Durant's 23 points.

Stoudemire played like an offensive superstar in the 10 minutes when Chandler was not present. He didn't score 1 point in the rest of the time, and now he only scored 10 points. If Lin Yang hadn't been in good shape tonight, he would have scored 25 points in the third quarter, and the game might have been spent. The problem now is that even if Lin Yang scored 25 points in the third quarter, it seems that the Knicks would have to rely on him in the fourth quarter.
