Chapter 16 With new skills, don't forget the old skills!

The Knicks easily defeated the Grizzlies, which really surprised many people.

Yes, there is nothing to surprise to defeat the Knicks with the strength of the Knicks. It is actually expected to easily defeat the Grizzlies, but the Knicks did not defeat the Grizzlies with the original tactics, but a brand new tactic.

Princeton's tactics are not so much a tactical idea as it is a tactical idea. Princeton made great achievements at Princeton University, but only one Kings was successful in the NBA, but even the Kings did not really win the championship.

Princeton's tactics are somewhat similar to coach D'Antoni's previous running and bombing tactics. Although he has made a name for himself, he has no championship to prove himself.

Basketball critics expressed their discomfort that the Knicks had suddenly completely abandoned their original tactics and resolutely turned to Princeton's tactics, because it was very risky to change the tactics rashly, especially when the original tactics had proven to be effective.

Beating the Grizzlies doesn't make the Knicks less criticized.

However, the next game can just test the Knicks' quality. The Knicks' opponent in the next game is the Miami Heat.

The Heat's start record is pretty good, with 4 wins and 1 loss so far. Although there are still many problems that have not been solved, it has shown the power of the Big Three.

This game is away. When the Knicks entered the stadium, the Heat fans booed the Knicks players, which was dissatisfaction with the Knicks' sweep of the Heat 4:0 last season.

During this period, Zhou Mubai heard a lot of voices discussing the Heat. Oh, it’s not a discussion, some voices are almost verbally abused. They are very dissatisfied with the Heat’s three giants’ group behavior.

Zhou Mubai doesn't care whether it's a group or not, but he also understands the psychology of those who are yelling. Before coming, Zhou Mubai watched the Heat's data from the past five games. The Big Three averaged 70 per game, accounting for more than 70% of the Heat's scoring data. This makes it understand that the insults of these people are indeed reasonable.

Compared with the dissatisfaction of other teams, Zhou Mubai has no objection to this matter, because strictly speaking, the Celtics' lineup is also a cheating level, and the Lakers' lineup also does not leave a way out for other teams.

The existence of these three teams is also the reason why the Knicks are not favored, because these three teams are indeed super teams, which makes people feel that they are unmatched at first glance.

Cole was also a little guilty: "Zhou, why don't we use the original tactics? I'm afraid I won't have a chance to win when dealing with such a team with unfamiliar tactics."

Zhou Mubai couldn't help but laugh: "What are you afraid of? We are not afraid of losing anyway. We can finally squeeze in this playoffs."

Cole shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that losing is too ugly, which will affect the team's confidence at that time."

Of course, Zhou Mubai would not agree. He still insisted on honing his tactics. Kerr could only agree, but he looked worried all the way. Zhou Mubai knew that he was worried that his coach would not be able to sit firmly.

Coach Spoelstra took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Mubai. He seemed to be asking about his well-being, but in fact his expression and behavior expressed his confidence - the Heat are no longer the Heat last season, and this time I want to beat you.

Zhou Mubai just smiled, only if he wins and wins, he will know.

The competition begins.

The Heat's starting lineup is: Wade, James, Bosh, Arroyo and Joel Anthony.

The starting lineup of the Knicks is: Zhou Mubai, Tony Allen, Iguodala, Korver and Tyson Chandler.

Chandler and Bosh jumped the ball in the middle circle, Chandler leaped the ball to Zhou Mubai first. After Zhou Mubai quickly advanced to the frontcourt, he immediately gave the ball to Chandler who was up to the top of the arc. Chandler took the ball and transported it to Zhou Mubai, and handed it to block Wade with one hand.

Zhou Mubai broke through Joel Anthony, and Joel could not keep up with Zhou Mubai's footsteps and was rushed over. James quickly let go of Iguodala. Zhou Mubai threw the ball into the sky, and Iguodala cut the ball gently.

This is a very classic tactic under the guidance of Princeton's thought.

The center takes the ball and passes the ball after breaking through, and breaks the back goal under the basket, are all very obvious characteristics.

Cole applauded strongly off the court, and Zhou Mubai and his performance deserved his praise.

The biggest credit of this is of course Zhou Mubai, but Iguodala's empty cut is indeed the finishing touch. If it weren't for such a smart player, this ball wouldn't have been played so easily.

Zhou Mubai raised his hand toward Iguodala.

The reason why he insisted on the Princeton tactic was based on his trust in Iguodala and Chandler.

After training last season, Chandler already has the ability to conduct the ball. Although he cannot be the core of the ball operation alone, there is a concept of how to support him.

Iguodala is too smart. His empty cut, unball cover and conduction ball are the most comfortable Zhou Mubai has ever worked with.

As for Tony Allen and Korver, one of them is from the Celtics and is quite familiar with this style of play. Korver is a master of running without the ball. He does this. Princeton is the most suitable tactic for him.

Iguodala smiled. Zhou Mubai felt that it was very pleasant to work with him. Why didn't he think so?

Arroyo dribbled through the half and found Wade. Wade broke through Korver with the help of pick-and-roll. Korver could not keep up with Wade. However, when he broke through, Zhou Mubai attacked in time to force Wade to pass the ball to James. James wanted to break through Iguodala, but Iguodala cut the ball off.

Iguodala grabbed the floor ball in time and launched a fast attack immediately. Iguodala quickly advanced into the three-point line and attracted the Heat's attention. Then, Zhou Mubai, who accurately found the three-point line, and Zhou Mubai chased and took a three-pointer!

Three-pointer hit!

In the next round, Bosh made a move at the middle distance of the free throw line, the basketball hit the basket, Zhou Mubai grabbed the rebound and quickly made a fast break, Iguodala made a quick break with cleverness, Zhou Mubai gave it away with both hands, and the basketball went straight to the frontcourt like a shell, Iguodala ran to the basket, and the basketball arrived in time, and Iguodala jumped and dunked!

This is a rugby touchdown attack!

7:0!

Spoelstra immediately called for a pause.

The Knicks are still the same Knicks. Although they are now playing against Princeton's tactics, this fast attack is not only not lost, but is more lethal than before!

This change is the arrival of Iguodala.

Iguodala's fast break is unique. He is very good at finding open teammates, especially the pass that pushes into the three-point line in the crowd, creating many opportunities for outside three-point shooters.
