Chapter 141: Away vs. New York Knicks

On the plane from Cleveland to New York, Yuan Shu, who turned off his mobile phone, finally got his own personal space. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When one can think quietly, Yuan Shu can't help but recall the last thrilling game with the Miami Heat, if it wasn't for Wilt Chamberlain's soul possession from the basketball system in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers may not have lost at the last minute.

What made Yuan Shu feel strange was that it was not Chamberlain who ran out of the basketball god system, after all, it was a future system, and he might have abilities that he didn't know, but why was the strength of the same attribute after Chamberlain's possession so much stronger than when he controlled these attributes? It is this question that Yuan Shu has been thinking about so hard.

Although the answer to this question is not clear, Yuan Shu still guesses that it is related to Chamberlain's own ability, because Chamberlain's original strength is very strong, so he can combine these commonly used attributes of the inside line well to play the greatest effect, and he once caused the basket to wipe the board because of too much strength, which is the biggest difference between the two.

In other words, when Chamberlain uses these attributes, he can give full play to 100% or even 120% of the effects of attributes, but when the same attributes come to Yuan Shu, they may only be able to play 70% to 80% of the level, because Yuan Shu is not yet able to master and use them thoroughly, maybe only when he uses his skills, can he fully exert the 20% to 30% of the effects that have not yet been played.

This incident gave Yuan Shu a revelation, that is, as a host of the system, he cannot completely rely on the system, if his own strength can be improved, then with the assistance of the system, it can be the icing on the cake, or even twice the result with half the effort!

Getting this conclusion, Yuan Shu thinks that it is more credible, although he has not been lazy in training, but there is no special effort, at this time, thinking of Kobe Bryant's early training every day, Yuan Shu can't help but feel a little ashamed, and feels that in the future training, he needs to work harder and harder, so as not to waste the system to choose himself as the host of the basketball system.

When Yuan Shu figured it out, the plane had already reached the sky over New York, the largest city in the United States, and through the glass window of the plane, Yuan Shu saw the Statue of Liberty, a landmark building in New York, USA.

The goddess holding a book and holding a torch seems to have known that Lin "Shuhao" will be "hot" here! It can be seen that everything has its own providence in the dark.

New York City, the largest city and largest port in the United States, is located on the Atlantic coast of the southeast of New York State, USA, is a world-class national metropolis and the world's largest economic center, directly affecting the global finance, media, politics, entertainment and fashion industries.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, New York was a new world for immigrants, and opportunities abounded. That's why New York is often nicknamed the "Big Apple", which means "beautiful and delicious, everyone wants to take a bite".

December 7, 2012, overcast with light rain, New York City.

After a night's rest in New York, the Cavaliers will travel to the New York Knicks, currently ranked ninth in the East, at Madison Square Garden in New York this evening.

The New York Knicks, like the Boston Celtics, are one of two teams that haven't relocated to the city since the original BAA league.

The Knicks had an illustrious history in the NBA, winning 2 NBA championships in the 2070s with a golden generation of talented players such as Willis Reed, Walter Frazier, Dave Debusschel, Earl Monroe and Bill Bradley.

In the 2090s, with the emergence of Patrick Ewing, one of the four centers of the year, the Knicks reached the Finals in the 1993-94 and 1998-99 seasons, but unfortunately lost to the Houston Rockets led by Olajuwon and the San Antonio Spurs with twin towers respectively.

However, the Knicks, who reached the Finals in the 1998-99 season, were still defeated, and the No. 8 seed led by Jeff Van Gundy went all the way in the East, after eliminating the top seed in the East Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, swept the Atlanta Hawks in the second round, and miraculously eliminated the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, becoming the first team in NBA history to enter the Finals as the No. 8 seed!

But after 2000, until the 2010-11 season, the Knicks' performance and form have been very sluggish, the team's winning rate has not exceeded 50%, only in the 2003-04 season the team broke into the playoffs, and the rest of the seasons were eliminated early in the regular season.

The star of the current Knicks team is Amare Stoudemire, who also played for the Phoenix Suns last season, and while following his mentor Mike D'Antoni, he also received a huge salary cap contract from New York.

The current Knicks still focus on the bombardment tactics that D'Antoni is good at, but because the point guard has been replaced by Steve Nash to Raymond Felton, D'Antoni wants to copy the bombardment tactics in the Suns.

As the Knicks' current signature player, Amare Stoudemire was placed at the center of the team in D'Antoni's small-ball bombardment tactics, and since the beginning of the season, Jr. has averaged a career-high 19 shots per game, contributing 25.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game. Compared with last season's time with the Suns, except for a decrease of 0.7 rebounds per game, other key statistics have improved well.

After Stoudemire was promoted to the center position, Italian Danilo Gallinari was promoted to the starting position of power forward, and the third-year player who was drafted by the Knicks with the sixth pick in the first round in 2008 averaged 15.9 points per game and had a very consistent performance, and was a turret to open up space for Smalls on the inside.

Small forward, Wilson Chandler is New York's first choice, this season's Chandler is the same as the past three years in the Knicks, is still improving, this season's Chandler in D'Antoni's bombardment system, can contribute an average of 16.4 points per game, and threw out a 35.1% three-point shooting rate, this is the first time in Chandler's career in four years of three-point shooting rate more than 3 percent, in addition, this season's Chandler on the defensive end of the performance is unusually eye-catching, 1.4 blocks per game, almost double the average number of blocks in the past three seasons!

At the point guard position, Landry Fields, a second-round rookie selected by the Knicks and a graduate of Stanford University, unexpectedly won the favor of D'Antoni, who has started every game since the beginning of the season, although he only contributed 9.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, but his dare to fight on the court and his high basketball IQ still made him a starter.

In terms of organizational guards, Raymond Felton is the team's only optional qualified starting point guard, and Felton, who came to the Knicks from the Bobcats, is actually performing quite well so far, also benefiting from the bombardment system, and his data has been greatly improved compared to before, averaging 17.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and his personal data is very eye-catching, but unfortunately Filton has never pinched the Knicks into a whole, nor has he played the kind of bombardment tactics that D'Antoni wants.

This kind of personnel arrangement of 4 forwards and 1 guard has also made many commentators question D'Antoni's lineup, which shows how much pressure D'Antoni has on him as the coach of the Knicks.

Before the start of the game, both sides announced their starting line-ups for the match.

There are no surprises for the New York Knicks, who are still a combination of Stoudemire + Gallinari + Chandler + Fields + Felton.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, on their side, have finally fielded a new small forward after Antoine Jamison's injury season was reimbursed.

Giammario Moon got the start of the game and joined Vallejo, Yuan Shu, Parker, and Williams to form a new starting lineup for the season!
