Chapter 161: Make Up Your Mind
It is precisely because the Knicks' players are playing normally and playing at home that there will be a sense of powerlessness after losing, not only one player, Lehi felt it in the subsequent training. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that you can't beat the other person, but you fantasize about relying on unrealistic luck to defeat the other person.
Thinking that the player suddenly broke out, or the opponent's core player behaved abnormally, Li Hai felt that this situation was absolutely not okay.
Lehi felt the pressure, he is one of the representatives of the all-round players in the league, he can attack and defend well, and he has a certain level of shooting, breaking and passing, and he can help the team even if he has a bad hand.
But he can't ignore the defense like a superstar, score four or fifty points at any time to lead the team to victory, he can hit key shots but can't play at that level throughout the quarter.
The playoffs are a time when stars are needed, and there are a few people in the Knicks team who can be called stars, who should step up, or what methods can play the best.
By this time, not all of the Knicks were at their best.
Because Coach Larry Brown demanded the rise of the team and Lehi, both Marbury and Francis, who were once the bosses of the team, made certain sacrifices because of the team's continuous victories and the recognition of Lehi.
The style of the three of them is not particularly harmonious, in order to quickly produce chemistry, there are actually some side effects, they suppress a certain offensive type to form a whole, and they can't exert all their strength in this offensive system.
Their strength adds up, but they don't have a thorough chemistry that is stronger as a team than an individual.
This is the trouble of multi-core, counting it, the Knicks can be regarded as having five core players, the strongest backcourt combination of Lehi, Marbury, and Francis, Eddie Curry is the core of the interior line, and Crawford comes off the bench to enjoy the core treatment.
Eddie Curry and Crawford aside, their positions in the team are relatively low, but Marbury and Francis completely agree with Lehi as a person, not that Lehi is the first core.
Many times they gave the ball to Lehi according to the tactical requirements, but this compromise mentality prevented them from being able to do it to the extreme.
Having kept their bodies fit and increased their training reasonably, they should have been better.
Lehi spoke to the head coach, and Larry Brown simply said that if the team got the details better, they would win.
Lehi knows that the Knicks' players are not robots, and the team details cannot be better than before at this time, and after encountering a strong enemy, it is likely that the execution of tactics will be worse under the pressure of the opponent.
Lehi even suggested that if someone could stand up to Antoine Walker at the No. 3 position, he could go to the No. 4 position to help defend Wade.
But if Lehi plays the No. 4 position the whole time, his height and weight are still a little lacking, and it will be very difficult for him to fight with Haslem on the inside.
After all, Haslem is just a defensive interior lineman, and if Lehi goes to the interior to participate more in defense, he doesn't know if the defensive efficiency brought by him can replace Antoine Walker with less limited scoring contributions.
Not to mention that the consumption of hand-to-hand combat on the inside is relatively large throughout the whole process, Haslem is not the kind of interior line like Jamison, and the ferocity is several levels higher, and Lehi's excessive consumption is not a good thing for the Knicks.
After thinking about it carefully, Lehi still found a few teammates who usually practiced.
At this time, the role of the player may be greater than that of the coach.
Aside from a few rookies, Lehi called Marbury, Francis, and Crawford together.
"Trust me, we have a chance to win the championship this season."
Lehi threw out an astonishing theory, and Marbury laughed, "Of course, our team is strong this season." ”
"Championship, even if we have been in the league for a long time, we have always hoped to win the championship." Francis laughed too.
They all expressed their determination in front of the media, but it still felt a little strange to say such a serious thing in private.
"Guys, I'm serious, the strongest teams this year don't have a clear advantage, there are likely to be accidents in the west, and the same is true for us in the east, this is definitely the most likely time for new forces to take the position in a few years."
Lehi knew about the development of another plane, but he had no way to really prove anything.
"Please believe me, you must come up stronger, and I will prove to you that this season is the best for the Knicks."
Crawford said a little strangely, "Lee, it's a little strange for you to say that, like we didn't do our best before. ”
Lehi shook his head, "You've been in the league longer than me, and you've definitely felt the effect of momentum, the team has done better in the previous games, but we should still be able to be fierce...... I don't know how to describe it, but you all get the idea. ”
The three of them naturally knew what Lehi was talking about, morale, excitement, and luck...... There are some ethereal things that can really make the difference between victory at a crucial moment, and it's not just them, the fans can feel something even if they sit in front of the TV and watch the game.
It's not the same as playing as hard as you can, but it's not the same as playing as hard as you can, it's a kind of fearlessness, young players can control, experienced players often only do it in a flash in the pan, just like O'Neal's furious attack, he can do it for almost a quarter, which is already very scary.
Both Marbury and Francis have had a lot of failures in the league, and it's hard for them to believe in a championship and then work hard in that direction, not just to score, but also to defend and work with their teammates.
Because they will subconsciously resist, afraid that if they fight to the extreme and the same result as before, they will no longer have the strength to support themselves in the future.
At that time, it will face a decline in strength, unable to integrate into the team, and lead to a full fade out of the league, and there are countless examples of this in the NBA.
"Well, it's time for us to fight regardless of it, and I'm almost 30 years old." After a moment of silence, Marbury said earnestly.
"Lehi also believes in us when he calls us, and we will fight together."
"No problem, I'm fighting every game, and you can leave the game to me when you get out of the break."
All three of them got serious, but Lehi knew that wanting to do it was not the same thing as actually doing it.
Crawford should have no problem, he's been through a little less, and Marbury and Francis may be able to be powerless.
However, this was the beginning of his determination, and Lehi finally did not hesitate to state his goal. (To be continued.) )
