Chapter 100: Unprecedented

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Bulls won 122-104.

Li Wei walked to the side of the Bulls and took photos with Phil Jackson, Jordan and others, and he also went out of his way to hug Steve Kerr.

Kerr was the championship coach who led the Warriors to 73 wins in his previous life, and it doesn't hurt to get to know him sooner.

"Haha, David, I wanted to cap you just now, why didn't you break through?" Cole is very familiar with authenticity.

Li Weidao: "I just saw that you had bad intentions there, so I voted in advance!" ”

Cole said, "You're pretty accurate. ”

Li Wei smiled: "I'm blind, you are really accurate!" ”

Steve Kerr is the NBA's highest-career three-point shooter, even more than his protΓ©gΓ© 20 years later, the best three-point shooter of all time, Stephen Curry.

Of course, the environment in which the two shoot three-pointers is different, Kerr is on the same team as Jordan and Pippen, and there is often no one in front of him when he shoots, because the players who defend him go to contain Jordan and Pippen. Stephen Curry's opponents never dared to let him go, and sometimes even two or three people were on the same page.

This is the end of the Knicks' 20th game of the season, which is also the 20th game of Li Wei's coaching.

Previously, among coaches who have coached more than 20 games in the NBA, the lowest winning percentage was 76ers head coach Roy Rubin in the 72-73 season, who coached a total of 51 games, with 4 wins and 47 losses, a winning rate of only 7.8%.

Li Wei broke his record, and the winning rate was 0% of the unprecedented, unprecedented.

The next day, the New York Post published a critical article on Mr. Li's astonishing losing streak.

In just one month, Li Wei has successively refreshed the record of the opening losing streak in team history and the opening losing streak of the league, and now, the longest losing streak in the history of the Knicks, the 20 consecutive defeats that Hubby Brown took two seasons to complete, were also tied by Li Wei!

The saga continues, and the New York Post believes that Li Wei has broken the longest losing streak in team history, and now it is up to him to see if he can break the league's longest single-season losing streak.

At present, the longest losing streak in a single season in the league is the 95-96 season, and the Grizzlies who joined the league for the first time created a 23-game losing streak!

In addition, the longest losing streak in NBA history is 24 games, and the record was set by the Cavaliers!

In the last 19 games of the 81-82 season, the Cavaliers played all 19 games, and in the first 5 games of the 82-83 season, they suffered five consecutive defeats, losing 24 games in a row!

23 or 24?

Where is the limit of the Knicks' losing streak? Where is the limit of Li Wei's losing streak?

The New York Post believes that Li Wei's losing streak has no limit, and if the Knicks want to add a limit to their losing streak, they must fire Li Wei early!

During the Knicks' 20-game losing streak, the Boston Sports section of Boston Cyberport became more and more popular.

Everyone knows that the moderator of the sports section is a die-hard fan of Li Wei, and he has been washing the ground for Li Wei's brain-dead transaction in the summer.

Now that the Knicks have lost 20 consecutive games in the blink of an eye, David Black gloated: Bill, come out quickly, I'll see how you wash this time!

Don't say it, Bill Simmons can indeed wash, his world's No. 1 poisonous tongue can definitely reverse black and white!

After his analysis, the various losses of the Knicks are either too strong, or the luck is too bad, or someone does not play well, in short, it is not the fault of head coach Li Wei!

The battle on the Internet is like this, no one can convince anyone, the reasonable are reasonable, and the unreasonable are quibbling. Simmons has earned a lot of brainless fans by splashing and rolling, and he is there all day long shouting that the moderator is mighty!

At the Knicks training gym, Li Wei ignored the noise from the outside world, but drank coffee with Chuck Daley.

"Chuck, try it, this is St. Helena coffee, which is said to be produced on a small island in the South Pacific, and it tastes good."

Chuck Daly laughed, "You have all the coffee here, I really want to take some back!" ”

Li Wei said: "Then you can take it back, I actually don't like to drink these things, in my feeling, all coffee has one taste." This was given to me by Richard Scaife the last time he saw him. ”

"Richard Scaife? That Richard Mellon's grandson, the main heir to Mellon, Gulf Oil, and Alcoa? Chuck Daly asked.

Li Weidao: "It's him, our foundation has some cooperation projects with him. ”

Chuck Daly said: "The coffee that can be given as a gift by him must be very high-end, so I'm welcome, haha!" ”

"You are casual, you don't have to be polite." Li Weidao.

Daley took a sip of his coffee and said, "Are you thinking about the team?" ”

Li Weidao: "That's right, since we decided to play seriously, it has been another three-game losing streak, including two losses to the 76ers and the Bulls, both of which were big scores behind. The fighting spirit of the young men is indeed not as strong as before. ”

Chuck Daly said: "There are some external reasons as well. First of all, Larry Brown and Phil Jackson are old rivals in New York, and they understand our defense system better than our own players. ”

"Oh?" Li Wei blinked, "Then we should adjust the defensive system?" ”

Chuck Daley said: "Why do you want to adjust it? There are no secrets in this alliance, and when each system is created, everyone will research it and find a way to deal with it, in other words, no matter how you change it, others will target you. ”

"What then?" Li Wei asked.

Chuck Daly said: "All we can do is work on the details and not show the flaws, so that even if the other side knows how we play, they can't win." How to control the details is your main job as a head coach. ”

"Control the details?" Li Wei stared and pondered.

Chuck Daly drank his coffee for a while, and then said, "There is one more point that we should pay attention to. If you stick to an offensive strategy that focuses on three-point shooting, then we need to strengthen it when it comes to rebounding and containing the opposition's fast break. ”

Li Weidao: "What does this have to do with our offensive strategy? ”

Chuck Daley said: "Your theory is correct, 33 percent three-point shooting equals 50 percent two-point shooting, and shooting three-pointers is a very efficient way to score mathematically. However, basketball is not pure math, when you have two-thirds of the ball and don't grab the rebound, then the opponent will have more opportunities to play fast, and we will be exhausted on the defensive end!

In these games, the youngsters have been less motivated, less serious on the defensive end than they were last month, and the opponents can easily score in an extremely efficient way of scoring through fast breaks, which is one of the reasons for our defeat. ”

Li Wei said: "Well, sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy, you always see the problem more comprehensively than me." ”

Chuck Daly said: "You don't have to praise me, I think you can see these things, you just want to confirm with me."

David, I personally think that if the team wants to win, there is still one breath left, and it depends on you to continue this breath, because you are the head coach of the team and the backbone of the team!

You need to find a chance to have a blast and let everyone know that you are hungry for victory. Only if you make a serious statement can the team get back on track! ”
