Andre? Miller and Troy? Murphy quickly completed his medical exam.

There is no doubt about the physical fitness of the famous "Iron Man" in the NBA, Murphy has been floating outside to shoot, not many confrontations, and he is also very healthy.

When he first arrived, Zhou Xuan invited the two to a meal after the first training, and Stadamier accompanied him. During the game, Zhou Xuan asked everyone to eat, and some teammates had personal matters during their breaks.

The topic of course revolved around basketball, and Miller laughed: "I'm so happy to be able to play in New York, Stephen, I'm stunned to see your 72 points." ”

"You scored 52 points against the Mavericks last year, which was just as surprising. I'm still young and there's a lot to learn. Please don't hesitate to give me advice. Zhou Xuan also complimented Miller.

At the end of January last season, the Trail Blazers defeated the Mavericks in overtime. Miller played 42 minutes, back-to-back singles, three-pointers, mid-range shots, hooks, breakaways, throws, free throws, and everything. He shot 22-of-31, 1-of-1 from three-point range and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 52 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals. At the age of 34, there is such a performance, which shocked the league.

Unconsciously, Miller has become the old Miller, but he doesn't seem to see the impact of the years on his state. He's still the best player at keeping himself healthy!

Miller said: "I've watched your game and you've got a well-rounded game. It's amazing to be at this level at the age of 21. Your goal is to win this year, right? ”

"My goal has always been to win the championship, but it would be very low-key to say it in an interview, so I couldn't bear it." Zhou Xuan smiled.

"He didn't talk a lot in the team, and he said it on the first day of the report, and we all thought he was crazy at the time, but now it's possible." Stadameyer answered.

Murphy didn't say anything next to him, but he was excited. The sad man who has never played in the playoffs will attack the championship as soon as he transfers, and it feels like a dream.

Miller was also happy to be traded, he didn't care that he had to start, he didn't have the strong self-esteem of a star, but he was hungry for a championship ring. As he got older, he was running out of time.

"I'm going to play hard, and now the Knicks have a future over the Trail Blazers, where there are too many injuries." Miller lamented, "I'm not far from retiring, and I'm hoping to get a championship ring until then." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "It will be successful, I promise." ”

Miller smiled, they didn't have a deep relationship before, at most they nodded on the court. Now Miller can understand why Zhou Xuan became the "boss" of the Knicks at a young age, because he was too confident. When it comes to winning the championship, he says "I promise", not "I believe", "I think", which is completely a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Zhou Xuan asked again how to maintain good health.

Miller said: "I think you can be fit right now because you're playing with floor flow. My secret is to play the floor flow and not jump around. Spraining ankles and knees is much less likely. I also have a little bit of advice for you. ”

"What?"

"Don't twist your body too much in the air, you have a beautiful assist after some jumps under the basket, but if you collide with an opponent in the air and lose your balance, you can easily get a back injury and a back injury when you land, and it can be fatal for the player, think about Maddie."

"Xie Lu Xie, I'll pay attention."

Zhou Xuan practices yoga and is very confident in his flexibility. But Miller's advice is good, and if he is really hurt one day, it will be too late to regret it.

"By the way, Andrey, do you practice yoga?"

"Practice. Don't you practice too? That can reduce injuries, but don't do that kind of soft to the extreme, it will make people soft, and the gains outweigh the losses. Miller laughed.

Many NBA players have their own yoga training methods, Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe, and LeBron each have a dedicated trainer, but there are some movements that damage the ligaments and don't do it. Abdul-Jabbar said in his autobiography that he was able to play for 20 years because he regularly trained yoga. James had a slight back problem when he first entered the league, and he also practiced yoga to strengthen his back strength, and he also trained for stretching before each game.

Miller's becoming an iron man is also related to yoga, and Zhou Xuan will have one more person who can exchange experiences in the future.

Stadamire and Murphy don't have much in common, and the two are not at all the same style. Zhou Xuan and Murphy chatted about tactics, and the work of eating gave a general explanation of what should be done in the No. 4 position, how to play the most efficient.

Miller said: "I suspect you're an assistant coach, you remember tactics so well? ”

"Well, if we go on the court together and you have the ball, I should be the most efficient in the side position, and you can also block and carry the ball, and when I open up the space, I will have an advantage in the number 2 position. In the next game, we have to try. ”

Now that the team has an offensive point with the ball, it is more difficult for the opponent to cover them when they are on the court together. After Zhou Xuan left the game, Miller could also attack in tandem. He's looking forward to the start of the game and to score more points than 72 in the future.

It was a great meeting. Miller and Murphy are the kind of people who are easy to communicate with, not arrogant, not veteran, and harmony within the team is not a problem. Usually Miller can also be the spiritual leader of the locker room, but the Knicks lack a respected veteran.

Miller did this kind of work when he was in the 76ers, and after chatting with Zhou Xuan, he said that it was no problem. He also wants the dressing room to be harmonious, free of internal friction, and to look forward to the goal together.

Of course, the Knicks' locker room has long since become united, and the players have found their place without black sheep. Other teams weren't so lucky.

Zhou Xuan's 72 points hit the confidence of the Lakers players, and then the Lakers lost to the Spurs and Clippers in succession. The loss to the Spurs was understandable, but the loss to the Clippers in the same city was too humiliating. The Clippers have not been able to beat the Lakers for many years, and they are now the bottom team in the West. Kobe Bryant hit 21 irons and was the first contributor to the Clippers' victory.

There was a bit of unhappiness within the Lakers as a result. Bynum and Gasol alluded to Kobe Bryant being too alone at the press conference. It's not news anymore, Kobe Bryant played well a few days ago, but he has taken a total of 101 shots in the last three games. 30+ per game. After Zhou Xuan scored a high score, Kobe Bryant also seemed to want to score a high score to find confidence. It turned out to be the opposite, he had a low shooting percentage and made his opponent win very happily.

"Zen Master" Jackson does not adjust, nor does he like to call a timeout, and seems to have resigned himself to his fate. He now feels like he is mixing up the most money for a year, and then patting his ass and leaving, defending his title or something is a floating cloud.

Also affected are the Warriors, with Zhou Xuan and Randolph gone, the Warriors are ready to swing this season, and Ellis has scored a lot of points, averaging 25 per game. 3 points, but it was bought with a lot of shots and 41 minutes of playing time. The team can't win the ball, Ellis has a bad cooperation with Curry and David Lee, and the ball is still not well distributed. If Zhou Xuan doesn't control the ball, Ellis can't control his score****.

Some experts say that in order to distribute the ball well, the Warriors are afraid that they will have to send one more Ellis and Curry away. If Curry had been sent away, the trade with the Knicks would have been a complete joke. Sending Ellis away, the Warriors are truly rebuilding, with all of the key 2009 champions gone. It's rare to get such a thorough deal after winning the championship. Either way, the Lacob family is a complete failure.

On the 18th, the Knicks played the Suns again at home.

Carter, who was injured on the Magic team and possibly operated on, arrived at the Suns to show another miracle doctor, Carter, and quickly recovered his health. He scored a Sun-high 33 points.

The Knicks attacked more fiercely, Stadamire slashed 43 points and 8 rebounds, and Zhou Xuan only played 32 minutes, with 16 points and 13 assists. After the Suns lost, they finished outside the playoffs with a 16-23 record.

On the 19th, the Knicks defeated the Houston Rockets. The two new players can play for the Knicks. Miller played point guard, which really relieved Zhou Xuan's organizational pressure. The two played together, and Zhou Xuan could use the style of play as a scoring guard, focusing on offense and supplemented by organization.

After that, the Knicks lost to the Spurs and Thunder in quick succession.

Spurs from the outside, Gary? Neil, Danny? Green made 10 three-pointers from both bench shots. When he was with the Cavaliers, Green was a fringe guy. As soon as he entered Popovich's system, it worked.

The Thunder also won on the outside, with Harden and Durant shooting three-pointers.

The Knicks have been overtaken by the Spurs, who are not yet a mature powerhouse and will make mistakes.

D'Antoni has also changed his line-up, with Murphy coming off the bench, the coaching staff dropping Evans altogether and Pekovic playing less. Murphy can't do anything but shoot.

Murphy and Anderson are indeed able to evacuate the interior to the maximum, but the Knicks' already weak interior defense is even worse.

The Knicks beat the Wizards to end the losing streak. Zhou Xuan saw Yi Jianlian again, and now his three-point shooting rate has dropped to 23%, and the shooting rate is 41%, and he can only play off the bench for a while. The Wizards' starting interior line is not strong, and Yi Jianlian can't compete with them. As before, Yi Jianlian lacks communication with his teammates, and his personality cannot be changed. He is also destined to miss out on the playoffs this season. The Wizards are also dominated by rottenness.

Then, the Knicks won over the Miami Heat for the first time this season. Bosh is out injured and has made the Heat's interior weaker. James? Jones starts, and it's actually LeBron who plays the starting No. 4 position. LeBron can prevent the breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, but he can't help the super-slow "Big Z" to defend the basket.

The most exaggerated is the Heat's bench, only Joel? Anthony scored eight points, and the other five players who played did not score a single point. Less than halfway through the fourth quarter, it went into garbage time.

In the absence of attackers, the Knicks wrapped James all over the court, and he shot only 7 of 24 and scored 24 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists on free throws.

In the last two games of January, the Knicks lost to the Hawks on the road and beat the Pistons at home.

Lost quite a few games this month, but with that amazing scoring performance. Zhou Xuan still won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in January and led the MVP rankings. The Spurs have a better record, but the player stats are poor, and the MVP will not fall to their team.
