Chapter 428: Five Up and Five Down

The two teams bombarded together, and the audience naturally enjoyed watching it. It's just that there is no nutritious tactical coordination in this way, and it is not interesting to blindly drill defensive loopholes to see the long term.

Not to mention that the Lakers' previous picturesque fast break didn't come out at all.

It's not so much the mutual explosion of two offensive powerhouses, but the pecking of two weak chickens without defense!

Lakers coach Wacker couldn't even look at it, because he didn't know that he had taught his disciples to play as long as they were attacking and not defending. This is the league's current East and West leader's game, and this level is not to blame.

Zhang Yi's starlight can't afford the respect and attention he deserves for the game. It's because this is because this one is like a garbage game that only the presidents and vice-presidents of the two leagues will play.

In fact, Zhang Yi realized the problem early on, but the opponent did not make adjustments, and he had no way to change the situation on his own.

I think when I was in the preseason, Thomas also focused on offense. But the Knicks' defense was a hundred times better than it is now.

The biggest problem with both Glide and Thomson is not their strength, but that they are too eager to achieve quick results and ignore the charm of basketball itself.

Driven by them, the pace of the game entered an uncontrollable situation. If the Lakers make adjustments first, the price they get could be an instant blowout.

Because the opponent's ability to score is not an ordinary explosion. Even if you want to improve your defensive strength, the first step is to limit the opponent's counterattacks and your own mistakes.

The Lakers' lineup has the lowest turnover rate and is also very tolerant. plus there is also a super player Zhang Yi who has both offense and defense.

Theoretically, their defense won't be bad. But in addition to the holes on the outside, the interior players of the Lakers and Knicks, who were affected by the fast pace, also made various mistakes.

The audience was very excited at first, watching and watching, and those who don't know the ball may watch it lively. But this is New York, where the fans are more poisonous than the eyes of the critics.

Can they still tell that the Lakers and Knicks are playing badly? Of course you can see it. Not only that, but if this line of competition continues like this, there will be no suspense in the outcome.

While the Knicks are now leading the scores, their fitness issues are bound to be the team's Achilles heel heading into the final game.

This is where the home fans are dissatisfied, and it is clear that in their opinion, the overall strength of the Knicks is not lost to the Lakers in the slightest.

If their star Thomas can play, then winning is a sure thing. Otherwise, the strength of the team that has reached the finals for three consecutive years is definitely not fake.

The so-called New York Big Three, in fact, Glade and Thomson have the strength but not the ability to be a leader.

Not to mention that they can't understand the situation now, it can be seen that these two stars are stupidly following the rhythm of the opponent.

So when the Knicks continued to attack like this, some unpleasant fans actually booed the home team.

This is definitely a rare scene for the devils in the Big Apple. After all, there is never a shortage of boos here, but it is always against the enemy.

The so-called hatred of the same enemy is absolutely appropriate for Knicks fans. If it weren't for Zhang Yi's starlight. Seat tickets for this game may not even sell out.

After all, whether it is Thomas's inability to play, or the disappointment of the ability of these two stars to lead the team. The Knicks could have been in a good position to sit first in the East.

But now the Nets are menacing, and the Knicks have lost consecutive games. Not only did they lose to strong opponents, but they also lost to weak teams, and they were almost overtaken by other teams in the East.

This would never have happened in the time when Thomas led the team, because the 'rush' can turn every Knicks player into a fighter!

In addition to putting everything into the offense, everyone fought for offensive rebounds, all kinds of non-stop running and shooting, and a wide range of transfers and shared the ball.

In defense is more than a positive dedication to oneself. Even if Thomas himself is not a top defensive player.

But he can lead his teammates. All the people in front of him will spontaneously fight hard, because the leader of the team has done this, and what right do they have to back down.

That's Thomas personally. This is probably a rarity in the history of the New York team. Because the stars who come here are generally to improve their fame, and few of them are really to lead the team to play well.

This is also the reason why the New York Knicks are a big ball city, but there are not a few championships around. The opposite is true in Los Angeles and Chicago, the second and third largest cities.

It's not that the New York players can't do it, it's that the city will naturally corrupt a lot of players. But one of the things that Thomas respects is that he never changed himself!

Even if it's different from other New York stars. But different things are different! I don't dare how he is in a hurry to develop the traits he has just learned, all because he wants to win!

After Thomas used it for the first time, he rested weakly for a long time before he recovered. Didn't he know that this trait would hurt his body? Definitely not!

A star of his caliber is well aware of his body. This is the reason why they are willing to try with injuries, in order to win, they must strengthen little by little!

The trait will definitely become his victory over Curry Jr.'s Golden State Warriors, as well as Zhang Yi and Simpkins as the representatives of the Western powers.

How can Thomas be put aside without it. Even in his opinion, this kind of injury will be like ordinary physical damage, as long as people get used to it, they will naturally accept it.

Start with 5 minutes, then add to 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes – and even use it at the end!

Whether it's Zhang Yi or Simpkins, they may think that Thomas has gone crazy and has forgotten where basketball really moves......

But now, seeing Thomas sitting on the sidelines without saying a word, his eyes were full of despair. This is because he sees the flaws of the New York Knicks, and even more so the lack of strength of his teammates.

I think about the time when he single-handedly brought the team to the finals, although he unfortunately lost in the end, but what kind of scenery was it at that time.

Now that I'm down, my teammates are going to repay me with this kind of game?

He was desperate and wanted to laugh, plus the Lakers led by Zhang Yi actually echoed them, Thomas even felt that he was not looking too highly at Zhang Yi, because the players who led the team in this way were not worthy of being his opponents at all!

The Lakers quickly made adjustments, and this time it turned out to be five up and five down?

Wacker was determined that he couldn't watch the players on both sides mess around like this. Even if they lose a certain amount of points because of it, that's not how the Lakers' ball is played!

It's just that I didn't expect that the New York Knicks would be replaced immediately, and the two cores were both sitting on the bench......
