SAN ANTONIO — OG Anunoby understands where to look.First, he checks the release of the shot. Is it long? Short? Which part of the rim might it hit, and where might it ricochet from there? Then, as he stands in the corner of the court, his eyes pan to the man defending him. If he has a chance at the rebound, wherever his opponent stands will dictate if or how he chases after the miss.“(I could be) cutting under or maybe going through the middle,” he said.The hope for the New York Knicks is that he can find that space behind the San Antonio Spurs’ 7-foot-4 star Victor Wembanyama.When the NBA Finals tip off Wednesday night, the Knicks’ quest to pull Wembanyama away from the basket will begin. And the mission will not stop once a shot slides off the fingertips of any dope with the pretension to think he can score on the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. The Spurs will do all they can to take away the middle. So, New York must respond by trying to exploit the areas far in front of Wembanyama and sneakily behind him.The first step is the rebounding.Wembanayama will likely begin the series not guarding a big man but instead guarding Knicks wing Josh Hart.The setup, in some ways, will be familiar to Hart, an inconsistent 3-point shooter. He’s looked into the eyes of centers before, only for them to roam into the paint instead of sticking to him. But Wembanyama, if spread all the way out, could clean each window of the Chrysler Building without his heels leaving the sidewalk. This is no regular chap. And experience against other 7-footers doesn’t translate to whatever he may try.Wembanyama will win the areas he occupies. The Knicks will have to dominate the spots where he is not.Wembanyama on Hart was the Spurs’ default look the last time these two teams played, when the Knicks steamrolled them in March. He guarded Hart for much of their other two “regular-season” matchups, which New York and San Antonio split — a close Knicks win in the NBA Cup final and a narrow Spurs victory two weeks later. The matchup allowed Wembanayma to sag into his cushiest area of the court: the paint, where he scares away any reasonable actor who dares to approach the basket.
