In this situation where the time has reached the last few seconds and is only two points behind, it is obviously safer to shoot two-point shots. A two-point shot is always more accurate than a three-pointer, and the probability of scoring is greater.

But Li Wei felt that the Knicks' tactics today had been guessed a lot by Lenny Wilkens, so let's go straight to the three points, and win or lose by one goal!

After arranging the tactics, he said loudly: "Okay, that's it, if you can't throw it, don't have psychological pressure." But don't forget, once we lose, we have to start from 0 in the next game and try to win 21 in a row. ”

"Hahaha!" The Knicks players laughed in unison.

Li Wei also smiled slightly.

There are a lot of young players in the squad, so it's better to take the blame at the last minute and not put pressure on them.

The four of them came on the pitch and started to run. In Lee's tactics, Houston was the first choice, Hornacek was the second, Nash was third, and Charlie Ward was fourth.

However, everyone on the Hawks also knew that Houston and Hornacek were on target, and they were desperate to defend against them!

Seeing this, Garnett immediately passed the ball to Nash!

Nash didn't expect to receive the ball after the two blocks were completed, but he didn't hesitate and shot immediately after receiving the ball!

All Madison Square Garden fans held their breath as they watched the ball fly high!

Swish!

Hollow caught!

The referee signaled that the three-point was valid, and then blew the whistle to end the game!

In an instant, the entire Madison Square Garden was boiling!

The Knicks players swarmed up and hugged Nash in the middle!

Mike Brin exclaimed excitedly, "Bang! Bang! Bang! Steve Nash made a three-point shot! ”

Fraser said: "Yes, fans and friends, just today Coach Lee led the Knicks to a 15-game winning streak. This is the Knicks' 15-game winning streak after Coach Pat Riley led the team to 15 consecutive wins in the 93-94 season! ”

Mike Brin said: "This is the joint-second-longest winning streak in Knicks history. The season in which the Red Head led us to an 18-game winning streak and won the championship, and the season in which Pat Riley led us to a 15-game winning streak in which we reached the Finals and lost to the Rockets in seven do-or-die matches! ”

Fraser said: "I'm really looking forward to what you say, and this season's Knicks may be able to surprise us unexpectedly." ”

In the post-match press conference, Nash became the protagonist of the press conference.

This season, like Garnett and others, Nash went through a sluggish period of adaptation at the beginning of the season. He doesn't like to shoot on his own and always wants to pass the ball, and the benches are more iron than the other, and the average data per game is now just a pitiful 7 points and 4 assists.

However, in the victory over the SuperSonics the day before yesterday, Nash performed well, and today he hit a stunner, and suddenly became a sweet spot in the eyes of the media.

The first question Li Wei encountered was also about Nash.

"Coach Lee, what do you think of Steve Nash, who shot today?"

Li Wei said: "Steve is the MVP, and the MVP I'm talking about is not tonight's MVP, but the league's MVP." Maybe he won't get this award this year, but I'm sure he has a good chance in the future. You don't know how hard he usually trains and it's hard not to succeed with a player like that! ”

The reporter said: "Mr. Nash, do you think you are the hardest working in the team?" ”

Nash thought for a moment and said, "I think the hardest working on our team is a player wearing the number 1 shirt, but it doesn't work, I can still beat him!" ”

Li Wei immediately said: "Steve, you leaked team secrets, there will be no playing time in the next game, not a minute, I promise!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Journalists laughed.

A reporter from the New York Post said: "Coach Lee, the team has won 15 in a row, and the Knicks have only met or exceeded this result in two seasons, one of which we won the championship, the other season we reached the Finals, and after seven games, we are only a little short of winning the championship." ”

Li Weidao: "Yes, the situation was very similar to today, if Starks can hit the last shot, we will be the champions." But Steve got the ball in today. ”

"Do you think the Knicks, who are now on a 15-game winning streak, can win the championship?"

Li Wei smiled: "If you can win the championship with a streak, I have to ask what you can get by losing in a streak?" In those two seasons when the Knicks lost 20 in a row, what did we get for it? ”

"Champion sign!" Many reporters replied with a smile.

Li Weidao: "That's right, just now this gentleman only noticed our 15 consecutive wins, not the previous 21 consecutive defeats. In my opinion, victory and defeat are very fortuitous events, and there is no need to give much meaning. The Knicks' overall record is still at the bottom of the league. However, after today's game, I feel like we have one goal that we have to shout out, and that is the playoffs! We Knicks must make the playoffs! ”

The reporters blinked.

A team that has experienced 21 consecutive defeats in the opening game, if it can still reach the playoffs, it will be enough to go down in history forever, Li Wei's goal is very realistic!

Li Wei sighed silently.

In this era of comparison, the Mavericks only had a total of 20 wins in the previous life, but they could only get the No. 6 pick, and the Knicks won 15 consecutive games before the halfway point of the season.

Besides, he also said like Xie Siqi, the Knicks don't mess up, and people can't be untrustworthy!

This year, the Western Conference playoffs were almost guaranteed.

Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Warriors, Mavericks, Kings, one is worse than the other, and the Kings with the best record this season in the previous life only had 27 wins, which means that the Rockets, who are eighth in the West, only need 28 wins to beat the Kings to enter the playoffs!

But in the east, the competition is too fierce. The Wizards were 42-40 and were still locked out of the playoffs, and the injury-ridden Orlando Magic under Chuck Daley had a 41-41 record and could only finish 10th in the Eastern Conference!

The east is strong and the west is weak, if Li Wei wants to grab a playoff spot, he can only fight his way out of many second-tier teams!

"Coach Lee, which teams do you think can make the playoffs this year?" A reporter asked.

Li Weidao: "I don't need to say anything about the West Division, the Spurs are not bad this year, so there is no suspense at all for the qualifying team." In the East, Phil, me, Larry Bird, Pat Riley, and then Lenny Wilkens and Dave Cowens, that's six.

The remaining two are really hard to determine, the Cavaliers, Nets, Wizards, Magic, Pistons, and even Rick Pitino's Celtics, Larry Brown's 76ers, it's not impossible. ”

An Indiana Star reporter asked, "Coach Lee, did you tie yourself with the top three teams in the Eastern Conference so quickly?" ”

Li Wei glanced at his sign and said with a smile: "The top three in the Eastern District? Oh, I see, you mean Larry Bird can't be tied with me, Phil, Pat Riley, right? Also, the Pacers didn't even make the playoffs last year, and of course they can't be tied with our three teams that were in the top three last year, and they should be put in the same bracket that is not well determined, I agree with you. ”

"Hahaha!" The reporters laughed.

The top three mentioned by the reporter are not the top three last year, but the top three now, and Li Wei's ability to distort the facts is no worse than that of reporters!
