Knicks Stagger Tactics: James and Redick have explained their features in detail

Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals series, the Knicks played against the Pacers away in the last 1 minute and 34 seconds of the fourth quarter. The Knicks used stagger split to create an open space for the Bridge. Let's review together:

In this round, the Knicks performed the BLOB tactics, and the Bridge pretended to set up a cover for OG, and instead used Towns' cross cover to catch the ball to the bottom corner, and then completed the shot.

Pay attention to the observation that OG is covered by the bridge and cuts inward. This action is also called "pick", and the action of the bridge is covered by the bridge is also called "the picker". In the first season of "Mind The Game", Redick and James mentioned the characteristics of this tactic: the shooter stood in the middle, ran to the top of the arc to create a layup opportunity for the forward line, and then used the pick-and-roll of the center to get the ball out. There are many similar tactical runs, such as the Clippers, where George is often the endpoint of the tactical when executing this tactic.

For example, in this round, George pretended to be a cover for Xiaoka, and then used Batum to catch the ball, making a three-pointer, which was elegant and silky.

The same tactical starts, George still made a smooth shot against the defense of the two men~

. In this round, George took the cover and took a direct move, but made a breakthrough and completed the dunk directly.

This round, because Xiao Ka served too low, George was unable to shoot directly after receiving the ball, and finally he ended with Mo's shot.

In this season's playoffs, Thibodeau often used this tactic when executing BLOB tactics. In this game, the Knicks also used this tactic to score.

In the fourth quarter, the same tactical position was placed. The Bridge pretended to be OG's cover and then used Hart's cover to catch the ball. At the same time, Towns used Hart's cover to catch the ball again, and then the Bridge cut into the arc and created an open opportunity, and finally received Towns' catch and made a three-pointer.

With a 121-130 loss to the Pacers away, the Knicks fell 1-3 in the series and the team was about to fall into a state of doom.
