Chapter 217: Admirable Kidd
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
After spending two days of very meaningful time, Gong Feng returned to New York to participate in the team's training, watching Gong Feng happy all day, I don't know that Gong Feng was happy that his teammates and the main four of them all participated in the All-Star Game.
The All-Star ballot was also announced during the day on this day, the Knicks occupied four of the spots, and these four were all starters, the other starter was Carter of the Raptors, Maddie was just a substitute, although the All-Star vote king was Hill, the perfect comeback of the old handsome guy this season still let all experienced fans vote for him, but Carter's appeal should not be underestimated among young people.
After Gong Feng did not need to participate in the Rookie Challenge this season, he needed to participate in this year's three-point shooting contest and the skills challenge.
As for the slam dunk contest, Gerald signed up but was not selected, and Gerald's bounce ability is really debatable.
When Hill heard that he would participate in the All-Star with the main force, he was really stunned for a moment, you must know that the last time he participated in the All-Star season was the All-Star in the 99 to 00 season, this superstar who was a contender for the All-Star ticket in his rookie season, was really very emotional at this moment, and he also had a new understanding of his experience over the years.
With such a good mood, the Knicks met two back-to-backs, the first back-to-back, and it was very easy to win against Miami, where Wade did not play. Take on the visiting Clippers on their home court. It's really two very easy things. Even if Miami's defense is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. But the Knicks, who have Yao Ming, really don't need to worry about Miami without a high point to defend him.
In the game with the Clippers, the Knicks were even happier, because this was a good time to brush up on the data, the two sides cooperated very tacitly, and at the end of the game, the Knicks ran tired and happy, winning with a score of 132-108, and everyone would be tired. But everyone will be happy, even if Gong Feng and other main forces have only played for about three quarters.
But he couldn't even rest, so he had to go directly to Dallas to meet the arrival of a tough battle, and the Knicks could only rest in Dallas for less than a day, and after the four-man trade between Walker and Terry was completed, Kidd seemed to have returned to his proper state, and the Mavericks immediately started a winning streak.
This away game is also a game that Mir has repeatedly stressed must win, whether it is a defeat in the previous game or because the Mavericks are a potential opponent in the Finals, no matter where it is. The Knicks are bound to give it their all. The same can be said for the Mavericks, especially with Cuban, who spoke before the game. In this season, as long as you run into the Knicks, you have to sweep in all directions.
When the Knicks heard it and found the words 'bump' and 'sweep', they didn't say that they all turned into Saiyans, but at least there were Knicks who talked and laughed in the charter plane before, but this time they were very silent and took the initiative to close their eyes and cultivate.
Mir was a little curious, Kuban's influence was even greater than his own? Thibodeau smiled bitterly, for fear that the Knicks would do their best in this game.
……
After Terry's arrival, the Mavericks officially identified their starters as Kidd, Josh, Terry, Nowitzki and Mutombo.
After being the main player for a while, Jamison still can't integrate well with Nowitzki, the two play a bit similar, when they are together, the Mavericks' defensive ability has become very poor, and the most important thing is that both of them are the kind of players who take scoring as their first priority, but they can do very few defensive tasks.
After Finley left, Josh got a lot of good opportunities, and the finalist of the year began to show his positive defensive attitude in the game, as well as a relatively strong low-post ability, and began to officially serve as the main player under the tutelage of Nelson Sr.
After these players, there is Jamison among the substitutes, and the striker Allan who was traded? Henderson, the NBA's tallest active man Bradley, got Marquis, a good seedling in the undrafted rookie? Daniels is arguably the most threatening bench in the league's playoff teams.
After Kidd came to the Mavericks, he began to consciously change some of his details of play, three-point shooting began to increase a lot, and the defense became proactive, and he did not let himself control everything, deliberately increased the independent offense of his own players, and controlled the rhythm of the game became more and more handy, especially to understand the state of his own players, interpret the opponent's defense, and in the case that Nelson Sr. didn't need to say anything, Kidd began to make changes.
Of course, if there is no influence from Gong Feng in the change, it would be a strange thing, especially the style of play with Gong Feng's three-point shot as the core, it really gives Kidd too many other ideas, not only when Gong Feng and Kidd play, there is that kind of refreshing feeling that the original game can still be played like this, Kidd has recently begun to study all the videos of himself and Gong Feng in the past two years, and has also absorbed some of the advantages of Gong Feng's playing style.
Every team in the NBA is not a very complete circle, and when one of them changes, the corresponding position and presence of other points will also change, so the predecessors of the NBA are worthy of respect, because without their exploration in the front, there would be no such wonderful technical actions and tactical origins in the back.
Looking at Kidd's recent video, Gong Feng felt a little strange and a little admired, Gong Feng admitted that his progress was slowly exploring, and he slowly grew up from the moment he practiced, but Kidd's spirit of active learning, especially the spirit of learning from his juniors, Gong Feng couldn't say anything else except admiration.
Ray Allen also looked at Terry in the video with some worry, the game against the Mavericks, in the guard line, no one will be easy, Gong Feng has to face Kidd, and Allen has to face the convulsive Terry, Terry's ability to attack with the ball and pull up the jump shot is also very jealous of Ray Allen, although Allen's physical fitness and projection ability are above Terry, but in the Mavericks Terry, who doesn't have to think about how to organize the team, really brings out all his abilities.
The Hawks' two big trades really created two top teams in the league, which really made many teams hate it.
It's rare for Mir to give an explanation to the team before the game starts...... In the regular season this season, especially in the pre-game time, Mir mostly left what to do before the game to Thibodeau, especially on defense, and a large number of assistant coaches also wanted to be idle, and everyone's job was to edit the recent footage of the Knicks' next game opponent and then draw the highlights.
Don't underestimate this, it's not easy to read a game over again, and many academic coaches start by editing game footage.
Most of the time, Mir just grasped the development direction of the team, and made a series of long-term plans, and then collaborated and communicated with various departments of the team, because of the current situation of the Knicks, Mill closed all the trading channels at this time, which made him have a lot of free time as the general manager.
In the eyes of the Knicks, the young coach Mill is undoubtedly a player-type coach, but his intuition on the court, his plan for the future development of the team, and his synergy are all indispensable to the Knicks.
Although his tactical literacy is not so high for the time being, he can always pick the most suitable one for the Knicks among a large number of tactical options to choose from, and he is also the easiest to accept change, and it is also very easy to accept other people's views and integrate everyone's opinions, not to mention that Gong Feng, Hill, and Allen are all extremely experienced players in the game, and they may not need Mir to say anything on the court, as long as these people are on the court, they can change the rhythm into their own rhythm.
In the entire league, it is unheard of for the three core players to collectively decide how to play a game, but such a Knicks has become a dark horse that is not a dark horse this season.
"Guys, we need to get rid of the Mavericks that we used to think of, and now we're going to face a team that Nelson knows very well about offensively and defensively!"
