Chapter 189: The Big Shark Kneels
In the Knicks training gym, the coaching staff is in a meeting.
Jeff Nick said: "David, I analysed the video of our previous wins, and many times we have been able to win, it is because you have the opportunity to anticipate the enemy. But there was a change on the pitch that you didn't expect, and the players didn't have time to react. You know why? ”
Li Weidao: "Some time ago, we used too many derivative tactics, sometimes even the whole game is a new tactic, and the players are memorizing the changes in tactics every day, and they have no time to understand it deeply. ”
Chuck Daly said, "Looks like you've figured out what's wrong. David: You're too open-minded for the players to keep up. We have to use the basic tactics more often so that the players practice makes perfect. The best tactics are often not the most subtle, but the ones that the players are most proficient in. ”
Mike D'Antoni said: "I want to talk about it too, it looks like we all want to go together." Usually use more conventional tactics, players will cooperate more and more tacitly, and in the playoffs, it is easy to catch the opponent off guard if they suddenly come up with some derivative tactics. David, you have a good idea to keep, you don't have to work the regular season. ”
After this meeting, Li Wei found out that the team won a streak some time ago, and his credit was still quite large.
If it weren't for the fact that he worked hard to study the flaws in each team's style of play and developed a variety of tactics before the game, the Knicks would not have been invincible.
In other words, with the current Knicks lineup, there is no way to play a 20-game winning streak, but because the coach's idea is novel enough and the luck is relatively good, there is an amazing move to tie the second-longest winning streak in history.
However, the team is playing derivative tactics every day, and more and more changes make the players remember a little confused, and on many occasions they don't even bother to think deeply, which is not good for the future of the team. Those players, especially black players, definitely don't have Li Wei's brains, let alone tactical maniacs.
If the team plays more conventional tactics, is more familiar with the conventional routines, and controls the details, maybe it will not be as winning streak as it was a few days ago, but the stability will be greatly increased, the players will have more initiative on the field, and they can also deal with unplanned situations through experience.
Li Wei didn't plan to produce results this season, and now the top 9 spots can't be obtained, so he can grab a playoff seat, and there is no need to be demanding a win in the regular season. All the team has to do is lay the foundation, lay the foundation!
Therefore, in the next game, the Knicks should aim to train their troops, so that the players can thoroughly understand and understand all basic tactics, instead of deliberately changing their tactical goals, hitting the opponent's weaknesses, and fighting for the gains and losses of one city and one pool like the playoffs!
After determining the future strategy, Li Wei understood that the next record may not be too good. But as long as the current roster is retained, then in two or three years, the Knicks will be more competitive.
On March 1, the Knicks sat at home to face the Los Angeles Lakers from afar.
This year's Los Angeles Lakers were in the limelight, with a total of four players selected for the All-Star Game.
How hard is it to have four All-Stars on the same team?
Before '98, there were only two teams to achieve this feat, the first was the Celtics, who were four All-Stars in 1962 and 1975, and the 76ers, who were all All-Stars in 1983.
In other words, it's a once-in-a-decade thing, and now it's time for the Lakers to catch up!
It's hard not to win when a team has four All-Stars, and the Lakers have had a great run under the leadership of a generation of coach Del Harris.
The Lakers' main center is one of the four centers in the nineties, and the big shark O'Neal in the "Shark Dumb Emperor" of the four greatest superstars of the early 21st century!
This season, O'Neal is really proud because the league has set up a reasonable collision zone before the season starts.
In a reasonable collision zone under the basket, no matter how the attacker hits, it can't be counted as an offensive foul, only a defensive foul!
This is simply a tailor-made rule for O'Neal, from then on, the fat and strong shark catches the ball under the basket, no matter how many seven twenty-one squeeze the opponent will be dunked, who blocks who fouls!
In the face of such a giant, the meat shields of each team are trembling. The Bulls can only pray that Ostertag can withstand this guy now, otherwise in the Finals, Longley's small body may not be able to withstand it!
Li Wei held a heart for training, and he didn't want to win this game. Big Z has potential injuries, the playing time should not be too long, Big Ben and others are too short to withstand the shark at all.
But the world is always unpredictable, the Knicks didn't want to win, but the Lakers played so badly!
This is the Lakers' fifth road trip in eight days. They flew first to Orlando, then to Milwaukee, then to Indianapolis, then to Minneapolis, and only yesterday to New York.
As we all know, New York is the largest metropolis in the United States, and the Lakers, as a Western team, will only come to play one road trip per season because of the long distance.
With only one season in mind, who doesn't want to have some fun? The Big Apple is world-famous and bustling, and if you miss this village, you won't have this store!
Li Wei doesn't know what activities the Lakers have in New York, anyway, O'Neal's eyes were dark when he came on the court, and he probably slept late yesterday!
Looking closely, Li Wei found that there were many marks on his neck, and eighty percent of them were overworked at night. As for who and how many, it's impossible to guess.
The overworked Big Sharks shot 6-of-16 and grabbed only seven rebounds, making the Knicks' Ben Wallace a blast!
Del Harris shook his head from the sidelines!
When you're a big boss undercover, it's really hard for the team to win. Eddie Jones, Fox, Horry and others are also in a slump, and they are playing very well both offensively and defensively.
The Knicks' form is just the opposite of the Lakers, their three-point shooting is accurate throughout the game, and Charlie Ward is even 5 of 5 shots!
With two minutes left in the game, the score was 82:101, and the Knicks won the game!
Li Wei was very happy and ready to play.
When he walked to the center of the stadium wearing the No. 1 jersey, the entire Madison Square Garden fans applauded!
"It's rare, I'm finally popular!"
With a fist hug to the fans, Li Weimei took Stephen Jackson's serve. At this time, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly came to my heart.
He hurriedly turned around and saw a man wearing the No. 8 jersey of the Lakers, pounced on him with a gloomy face!
"I'll go, how did I forget about this thing!"
Kobe Bryant's personality is very tough, he dares to fight, and he doesn't care who the enemy is.
For example, in the All-Star Game, as a rookie, he didn't know modesty at all, but made crazy shots, and who shot more than Jordan on the other side, and he ranked second in the number of shots made by Western stars.
The man who shot the most in the West was Eddie Jones. Seeing his substitute score wildly, Jones was unbalanced and began to shoot, and even shot 3 more than Kobe!
The third-most shots in the West is another of the Lakers' four All-Stars, Van Exel!
O'Neal: I knew that I was surrounded by abusive kings, and they wouldn't let me go of me at the All-Star Game! Cast it, and I'll watch you strike the iron quietly!
Kobe Bryant will not be afraid of Jordan, the first person in the league, nor will he let go of Li Wei, the last person in the league, his idea is that as long as he stands on the court, he will fight!
It doesn't matter if the opponent is strong or weak, whether the score is tight or garbage time, you have to fight!
What's more, this Lakers fell behind by a big score, and he was holding back the fire!
