Chapter 703: Yi Jianlian's Thoughts
This game also caused heated discussions before the game, after all, there are too many highlights of this game, the Nets suddenly became the giants of the entire league after completing such a transaction, and the record suddenly improved, and like them, the New York Knicks, who suffered two consecutive defeats at the beginning of the season, also regained their dominance in the following time and ranked among the top in the East.
Moreover, in this game, the "Celtic Big Three" appeared on the field as opponents for the first time after going their separate ways, which naturally attracted the attention of some people.
In addition to these, I have to say that there is naturally the relationship between Yi Jianlian and the Celtics Big Three, the first big rhythm of Yi Jianlian's career is related to Garnett, when he became the All-Star starter of the Eastern big forward, which once made many fans think that it should give way to Kevin Garnett, after all, the "Wolf King" was the top two big forwards in the league at that time, and since there is Duncan in the West, there must be Garnett in the East.
But the result was that Yi Jianlian didn't let it go at all, and he still made an All-Star starter.
It just so happened that the head coach of the East in that game was Rivers, and he let Mike Reed sit on the cold bench with Yi Jianlian for a while, which also caused subsequent conflicts, and the Bucks played garbage time when they met the Celtics for the first time after the All-Star break, but as a result, the Celtics took all the starters, and the Bucks still did not remove Yi Jianlian and Mike Reed, which can be said to be really full of trouble at that time.
It's just a few years later, looking back at everything at that time, it has not become the main contradiction between the two teams now, after all, the current Yi Jianlian is recognized as the first person in the league, and Kevin Garnett and Pierce, including Ray Allen, may still be players above the average of the league, but they are indeed no longer the representative players of this league, they have come to the end of their careers.
And because the weight is obviously not at the same level, so for this game everyone is more concerned about the game itself, both teams have just formed newcomers, and they are still running in, of course, the Knicks team has obviously gradually touched the key to win, and although the Nets have begun to score constantly, but the cooperation between them is still a little rusty, from the perspective of the entire first quarter of the game, the current Nets starters have three sets of play, There is obviously frequent interaction between Deron Williams and Lopez, two players who were originally members of the Nets, in addition to Joe Johnson's own singles, and finally the cooperation between Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, in short, these guys are still playing according to their original style of play, and there is no intention of wanting to run in at all.
However, this is also part of the process of generating chemical reactions, but it takes a long time, and these guys have already developed their own habits, and it is still a little difficult to correct it for a while, and it takes a little time.
It's just that although the Nets were a bit on their own, they still ended the first quarter with a 33-30 lead by three points.
Yi Jianlian didn't have a problem playing in the first quarter, he scored 12 points and had three assists, and his shooting percentage was above 60%, all of which was no different from his average per game this season.
The problem is with James Harden, who shot 5% less from the field in the first quarter than during the previous winning streak, which doesn't look like much, but it did affect the Knicks' offensive efficiency.
After all, for the current Knicks, James Harden is the second-in-command.
It's just that it's not all of their problems, their bigger problem is their rebounding.
"As I said before, there is a problem with the Knicks' interior line, and this problem is not solved in a moment, if they don't adjust the whole lineup, then the problem of them not grabbing rebounds will always exist, Amare has at least 3 months to return, and he has not played for a year at this stage, whether he can recover his form quickly, this is no one can guarantee, this is also the biggest problem, the Knicks have a rebounding problem in the new season, Of course, this is also a supplement to their summer number four position in the disadvantage of selling orders! ”
Bill Walton, who analyzed the rebounding problem of the Knicks before the game, also commented on the game, and after seeing that the Knicks still had rebounding problems in this game, he also reiterated the problem.
Speaking of which, the current pace of the league has unconsciously become much, much higher than before, which also makes the team pay more attention to the protection of rebounding.
And the current league also has a lot of interior players who only focus on grabbing boards and don't do anything else!
This also makes the competition for rebounding on the inside more and more fierce.
This is especially true this season.
In fact, if the Knicks' configuration on the inside line this year was last year, it is said that even if it is not very outstanding in the league, it will definitely not be a big disadvantage.
But this year, the league's emphasis on rebounding has reached a new height, and the league has also given birth to a lot of rebounding monsters, and the Knicks' disadvantage in this regard has become greater.
"I'm going to play the number four position!"
The intermission did not let D'Antoni come up with any good way, he is a head coach who advocates offense, and he can't say that he doesn't know anything about defense, but he is definitely a character who is less than half a bottle, and he can't think of a better way, Yi Jianlian finally decided to take the initiative to play the No. 4 position.
Then move Grant Hill to the number three position.
In this way, the overall height of the Knicks team can come up, and Yi Jianlian is also confident that he can grab more rebounds.
……
Yi Jianlian couldn't remember how long it had been since he had played against Kevin Garnett, and he didn't expect that there would be such a day.
From the time he got to the number three position, the game suddenly seemed to him to be easier, but with the change in the pace of the game and the overall environment, coupled with the New York team's recruitment problems this summer, he could not solve more problems in the number four position alone.
The Knicks' rebounding problem has indeed always existed, but they have solved a lot of problems with their high shooting percentage, but today's James Harden's sluggish hand makes this problem very obvious.
The Nets' interior strength is actually not strong, and there must be teams in the entire league that are stronger than their interior strength, so Yi Jianlian plans to try to return to the No. 4 position to see if he can make up for some rebounding problems!
