After an 11-game losing streak, the Pacers learned from the pain, and after some pain, they finally found their previous defense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the offensive end is far less hot than before the All-Star break, with the average points per game dropping to 89 points after the All-Star, they have brutally suppressed opponents to just over 80 points in recent games, which is simply replicating the Spurs' basketball of the last decade.

But no matter what, it's right to win! Prior to the Lakers-Magic game, the Pacers' victory over the Knicks to bring their record to 50-19 and continue to hold the Heat, who are now 49-20.

There are only three teams with more than 40 wins in the East, the Pacers, the Heat, and the Raptors, and the Raptors are a little far behind, only 42 wins, and the first iron in the East will be born between the Pacers and the Heat.

Led the team to 50 wins for the first time! Liu Ren opened a bottle of champagne in his training gym to celebrate, although he also experienced 50 wins in the previous 2011-2012 season, but it was not him to be exact, and he played more than 30 games in the whole season at that time, and it was all garbage time.

There are three days off before the next game, the Lakers have a day off, Liu Ren invited his teammates to his home training hall to celebrate 50 wins, D'Antoni is an uninhibited man, happy to let the players relax for a day, but not allowed to miss the next day's training, after three days of rest there are two back-to-back to play, the league is not very friendly to them.

……

The Lakers are in a 50-win spree, and their next opponent has already arrived in Los Angeles to prepare for a two-game trip in Los Angeles a day later.

That team is the New York Knicks!

But they're all excited right now.

Just after they arrived in Los Angeles, their owner, James Dolan, gave them exciting news that their team management had a big signing!

In the conference room of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles, Anthony, Chandler and others looked at the white-bearded old man sitting in the first place with a happy face, not to mention how excited they were, the haze of this season was suddenly swept away!

Of course, this white-bearded old man will not be the wizard Dumbledore, but for the NBA he is similar to Dumbledore, he is the super coach Phil Jackson with 11 championship rings!

"Phil, are you coming to our team as a manager? It's amazing! I absolutely love your triangle offense! Anthony asked excitedly as head coach Mike Woodson, who had a green face on either side.

Phil Jackson smiled and said: "Thank you Melo, the triangle offense is something I'm very proud of, but Mike is a very good coach and we're getting back on track now, I'm sure he's going to do a good job, and I'm coming to the Knicks this time as a member of management and not affecting everything about the coach." ”

Phil Jackson calmed Mike Woodson, Mike Woodson's face softened slightly, but Anthony was obviously a little disappointed, how much he wanted to play under a really good coach, just like George Karl back then, and now Anthony knows that Karl is good, at least it won't make him even unable to make the playoffs.

"Melo you don't have to worry, we still have hope of making the playoffs this year, and now we are 10th in the East, just one game away from the Cavaliers in 9th and only three games away from the Hawks in 8th, so every game is very important for us, first of all, our next two opponents, to win as many as possible!" The Zen master used the demagogic tone that he was good at to mobilize the mood of Anthony and the others.

Now that the Knicks have a 29-40 record and 13 games to play, the Cavaliers are 30-40 and the Hawks are 32-38, and they still have a chance to catch up.

Further up to the seventh place in the East, the Bobcats have reached 35 wins and 35 losses, and the winning rate has reached 50%, and it is a little unrealistic to chase it, so the Zen master uses the possible goal of eighth in the East to stimulate the motivation of his players, and by the way, he erases a trace of loss brought to the players by not being the head coach.

"That's right, we still have a chance!"

I have to say that the black players are simple, and the words of the Zen master smoothly aroused the motivation of the players.

"First of all, the Clippers! They've lost five in a row now, we wouldn't mind giving them six in a row, they've got a couple of major substitutes out of the game now, and it's not a big problem for us to win them. Just take them by surprise while the war weariness at the start of the game has not yet dissipated. The next Lakers is the focus, do you still want to be humiliated by the kid who claims to be the king of the league? ”

The words of the Zen master were suddenly like a depth charge, which successfully made this group of old men angry.

The tragedy on January 29, which is comparable to O'Neal's bloody massacre of the Clippers, is a pain in the hearts of all Knicks players!

Especially Anthony, who is the star of the house, he didn't even want to look back on that game, because he actually chose to compromise in that game! He actually felt that he was no match for Liu Ren at that time, and although he still thought so in his heart now, he still couldn't forgive himself, and he had been running away from anything related to that game, and the people around him didn't dare to mention it.

The Zen master mentioned this incident not only made the group of big men angry, but also worried about whether Anthony would be angry, even Mike Woodson, the coach, did not dare to expose Anthony's scar, in case this master was unhappy to leave in the summer, he was definitely the first scapegoat.

However, Anthony did not have the anger he imagined, he stared at the Zen master and asked: "Phil, you tell me, what should I do to beat the Lakers, you must know that they are not such an easy opponent to deal with, they have defeated all the strong teams in the league." ”

The big stone in the heart of the Zen master when he saw Anthony's reaction also fell, and he mentioned this matter after some foreshadowing, just to prevent Anthony from losing his fighting spirit, so he would first give the players a hope, then set a goal, and finally stimulate the players' fighting spirit.

It seems that his sword is not old! A seductive smile appeared on the corner of Phil Jackson's mouth, and his every move was carried with strong confidence, and everyone present, including Mike Woodson, had to sigh at how infectious he was!

"Of course, I'm ready! The game against the Lakers was our first step in proving to the league that we're back! After speaking, the Zen master turned on the projector behind him and played the prepared video clip.

The footage shows the Lakers playing against several strong teams, all of whom are similar to the Knicks, and all have a strong small forward, the Kings, the Heat, the Pacers, and themselves.
