Chapter 842 [Mainstay]
Back-to-back defeats over the Bobcats, the Knicks are on a winning streak.
It wasn't an easy game either, with the Bobcats players working very hard and the Knicks role players playing average. Zhou Xuan played a few minutes and scored a big double-double of 37 points and 11 assists.
The Bobcats' interior partners are Pekovic and McRoberts, the former has a poor defense and pick-and-roll, and Zhou Xuan has a chance to score. The Bobcats relied on outside firepower to compete with the Knicks.
A lot of youngsters have played this year, and Kemba Walker is pumping like an All-Star, averaging 17 per game. B points, 42 rebounds and 61 assists. Just look at the number of jù, in fact, Walker is not much different from the Knight's Owen, but his popularity is very low, and not many people pay attention to him.
Pekovic can also get a solid double-double this season, after signing with the Bobcats, he is the highest-paid person in the history of the team, and this season the "White Bears" are likely to be selected as an All-Star, and the team has a good record, currently 6-win, ranking eighth in the East.
If this record is placed in the West, it is a lottery team, but it is better than the bottom weak team, the Lakers, and it is not bad enough in the East.
The Bobcats have been terrible, often deliberately playing bad for the sake of the team's rebuild, and then getting a high draft pick. And just last week, Bobcats owner Michael Jordan said that he would not use guò to get a high draft pick, and he also did not advocate the Big Three teaming model.
"It's not something we're going to do." Jordan laughed and said, "If I wanted to, then I wouldn't have signed Pekovic with a high salary." ”
This interview has left countless Bobcats fans suspicious that his IQ is even lower. Wouldn't do this kind of thing, so the Bobcats' high-pick picks in the past few years were all sent after the phone bill?
Now that the whole league is staring at next season's draft, they all say that 214 is a big year for the draft, but Jordan is arrogant and arrogant......
Jordan also said: "The Big Three model is not necessarily good for the game. I am not an advocate in this regard. In my time, such a thing had never happened. ”
No wonder Pippen once said that he was stronger than Jordan, and later said that James was stronger than Jordan. At the beginning, I knew that the first time the Bulls won the championship was Pippen, Jordan, and Grant, and the last time it was a combination of Pippen, Jordan, and Rodman.
In particular, Horace Grant is an underrated guy, and during the Bulls' first three-game championship in 9193, he played a major role as the team's rebounder and third scorer. 13 per game. 4 points - rebounds.
When Jordan was alone, he was bullied by the Pistons n times, and now the credit is all his own. When it comes to the Bulls, everyone says Jordan, and barely remembers Pippen, although Pi Er is often overrated because of his numbers, and is called brain-dead because of some of his remarks, he is still one of the six superstars. As for Grant, Hubble, Kerr, Langley, Kukoc, and others who fought hard by Jordan's side, they were completely ignored.
On the 17th, the Knicks beat the Pacers again.
The Pacers have only lost Game B so far, but they are not as good as the Bobcats against the Knicks. As soon as Hibbert hit Jefferson on the pair, he was immediately coaxed, and he was completely blown up. What he is most afraid of is this black strong man, who wants to go directly to the basket.
Granger has come back and has long lost his core demeanor, averaging B2 points, B6 rebounds and 1 assist per game, with a shooting percentage of 3. O, this number jù is not even qualified to be an ordinary role player.
The Pacers mainly rely on Paul George and David West, and they can't win if they prevent death, the two main scoring points. The Pacers defended well, but in the end, the Knicks defended well, losing by 2 points.
On the 18th, the Knicks won back-to-back home games against the Clippers and won 12-1o.
The Clippers played very tenaciously, Paul was out due to injury, and it was Collison who fought with the Knicks to the end. Zhou Xuan opened the score with two three-pointers in the final quarter, and scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals.
Injuries have been a topic of conversation for NH this season, and this season has been a disaster for defenders.
On January 11, the Clippers announced that after an MRI, team guard Paul was diagnosed with a dislocated acromioclavicular joint. Although no surgery is required, he will still miss six weeks of competition.
Just two days ago, Heat guard Chanmos retired with an Achilles tendonitis injury, and the injury curse continues on guards.
Looking at the guards on the injury list, Kobe, Rondo, Rose, Nash, Westbrook, etc., many of them are big names. With these big names missing from the game, it's no wonder that former Suns general manager Steve Kerr said, "This season's NH Seven games are not of high quality and not good-looking. ”
As for the injuries of Bredsoe, McCarvey, Beverley, Blake and others, not many people are concerned, and counting them, there is not much health in the NHA No. 1 position.
The NHA "Christmas War" staged last month was deeply affected by injuries and illnesses. Of the six matchups that the league has painstakingly arranged, two have suffered serious injuries.
Injuries have always been a part of the game, but it's strange to see such a serious wave of injuries less than a month into the season. You know, this isn't a shrinking season, it's not an Olympic year, and the league hasn't made any major rule changes. As the season progresses and the players begin to tire out physically, the risk of injury will increase further. How to play a healthy season has become a difficult problem for every nhaI player.
According to EPN expert analysis, defenders should learn from Zhou Xuan to play like Zhou Xuan, jump less, break through more, and shoot more. Floor flow players are always safer, and this year's floor star, in addition to Nash, injured a little Gasol, which was caused by hand-to-hand combat on the inside.
On January 21, the Knicks finally lost again, and their opponent was the Nets in the same city.
The Nets' record has picked up, and Kidd has changed his tactical system, which makes the Knicks feel uncomfortable and surprisingly winning. After López was injured, they played more flexibly than before.
Livingston became the point guard, and Deron Williams came off the bench in the second lineup to ensure the attack. Also on the small ball tactics, Garnett center, three swingmen Joe Johnson, Pierce, Anthony.
In this way, although Garnett struggles a little in terms of resistance under the basket, he can rely on experience to disrupt shots, and the three swingmen also do a good job of blocking and dislocation. This has become forcing Zhou Xuan and Jefferson to play by themselves, and guarding against other role players.
Once again, Bosh disappointed. As long as the team doesn't play well, it is often Bosh sleepwalking, and the withdrawal is not good. This is the current pattern of the experts, and he has become a barometer of the direction of the game.
Under Anthony's defense, Bosh not only did not swing the height advantage, but also threw a three-tie in the quarter.
Joe Johnson also worked very hard to defend Zhou Xuan, and his 21netR height was not afraid of misalignment after the block. Pierce, Anthony, and Joe Johnson are active in the fast break and have the opportunity to play singles in the front court.
This tactic is simple and effective, Livingston is not responsible for attacking with the ball in the positional attack, Joe Johnson is responsible for organizing after the half, and he waits for shooting opportunities on the outside, so that the division of labor is clear and will not be chaotic.
When Delon was in the game, he didn't know whether to score or play on his own, and he kept swinging between the role player and the core until he was lost. Livingston doesn't have any inner struggles, he's a role player, and he's on a base salary. The person who pulls out here is more famous than him, and he is thankful that he has a job.
In the second quarter, Delon came off the bench as the core of the game, relying on his physical advantage to bully Augustin, but his shooting percentage was still not high.
Evans and Telitovic's interior combination is also good, Evans is responsible for the rebound under the basket, and Telitovic withdraws the interior line and plays blocking and dismantling.
Bosnian Telitovic did not go through the draft, and signed a mini middle class with the Nets in 22 years for 3o yuan a year. He shot 3 from three-point range this season. o, averaging B6 points and B7 rebounds in 19 minutes per game, he can also play fast breaks at times, and he is better than Lopez in defensive guard breaks.
was caught off guard in the first half, and in the second half, the Knicks stabilized the situation and slowly chased the points, but Pierce and Anthony were very difficult to defend, and the Nets maintained the lead.
In the final quarter, in order to strengthen the outside shooting, Jefferson went off the court to rest, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Nets inside. Evans played center, and the Nets' small-ball tactics were powerful, but the difference was further widened.
Zhou Xuan also had a terrible hand in the last quarter, scoring only 2 points on 1 shot, missing all 2 outside shots, and giving 4 assists, which is relatively rare for him. He can't shoot either, and his teammates are very well guarded. Jefferson's presence on the court could not change the team's decline.
The Nets players will all pull out and let Anthony single out Jefferson. It's a misalignment, and on the defensive end, Anthony is also under the basket against Jefferson. is always said to be a cancer, no leader temperament, this Anthony fights, both offensive and defensive ends.
He is indeed more efficient at playing power forward than at small forward, and he is available every game. 4 points, B1 rebounds, B1 assists, 2 steals, career highs, and a three-point shooting percentage of 4o. o。
In the end, the Knicks lost by 15 points 6-1O, the offense was terrible, and the defense was generally up to the usual level.
Zhou Xuan got 6 rebounds and 1o assists, the number is still very beautiful, but the shooting rate is very low, only B of 2 shots, and he hit 18 irons. Bosh was even worse, with 4 points and 6 rebounds. It's hard to believe that this is the number of stars, he is too unstable.
At the press conference, Kidd was in a good mood and smiled: "We've found a way to win, and while losing Brooke is a big loss, he's one of the best interior players in the league and he's our mainstay, but we still have a way to win, the players are working hard, it's a great win." ”
When López was good, he was called a defensive hole, how did a serious injury become a "mainstay"? The fans didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Chris Mullin is more sensitive, and immediately thought that the Nets wanted to make a trade, and the object of the trade was probably Lopez. The problem is that Lopes is not suitable to play with players like Anthony and Pierce.
However, with the season reimbursement, it will be very difficult for the Nets to trade Lopes out. Who would risk taking in a glass man who can't be beaten?
