Chapter 231: The Knicks Savior
Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden watched their team bloodied the Washington Wizards, who nearly swept the Knicks out of last season, in their first playoff game.
Die-hard Knicks fans didn't leave, they saw the last second, they saw the Knicks' big win, and they also saw the Knicks' determination to challenge for a championship this season.
New York City fans have always been a great example of the league, cheering for their home players, booing their enemies at the start of a game, and booing their main players when they see their players performing extremely rubbish, making no secret of their feelings.
When the team's opponent actually conquers the place in the game, the fans of Madison Square Garden will also give their enemies a standing ovation, cheer, and even hope that some stars will leave something here, and when the Knicks are not doing well, or even extremely bad, there will even be New York fans who will write: XXX, welcome to New York! Extremely obvious insolent words! Without a doubt, the fans in New York are the proudest and the craziest! Because it's the Big Apple that everyone wants to take a bite of.
So the home stadium here has become a temple for all the stars to want to play for a long time, because this is the closest place to heaven.
So the fans here will be waving their money and beaming, as if New York City is really going to be the dream of all professional footballers.
New York is the best place and the worst place.
When you succeed, it seems like the world is saying good things about you, but when you fail and face setbacks. It's as if the world is working against you.
Gong Feng watched as New York fans were frantically reveling for a playoff victory. Can you imagine being a Mir? Dolan. When he was able to make those trades, for the future of his team, and when he was crazy, the pressure on Mir was there.
New York, which has been supported for a long time, cannot tolerate the team suddenly being at the bottom of the league.
No wonder Jeff? Even after he left, when his grades in New York rose rapidly, Van Gundy smiled at the camera and said, "Congratulations!" Mir, you really made it! I sincerely bless you! ”
It's no wonder that Mill's status within the Knicks has risen dramatically right now. All the staff saluted in front of their young boss.
It's no wonder that none of the Knicks have gossiped anything about Mir's continued role as the team's head coach.
It's no wonder that Van Gundy left so freely, not even convincing his assistant coaches to leave the Knicks, because Van Gundy knew what Mill was going through.
When the team lost six in a row and ten in a row, Mir became the target of the media for the first time, Van Gundy knew that it was a powerful media that had been friends with the Dolan family for many years, and if such a statement was not approved by Mir in the end, Van Gundy would not think that the media would shoot at the Dolan family in the first place.
When he couldn't even get a rotation of players, Mir was the first to say to the media that Hill needed to rest, completely pressing everything down on his own...... Van Gundy and other Knicks at the time couldn't even see that. That's a strange thing!
You must know that Mir did not make a decision to anger any Knicks staff member except for making a large number of adjustments to the players at that time.
Except after a large-scale test. Some old people who are really not suitable for the development of the Knicks have been arranged by Mir to the league team under the Knicks, and in addition to making emergency treatment for some people who leak team secrets, even when the Knicks are in the most difficult time, Mill has not reduced the salary investment in team management.
Something unpleasant! The Knicks' main five combined, the prestige among the fans is now not as good as Mill's alone!
There is no doubt that Mir is the savior here! At least now, he's completely conquered all the hearts of the Knicks!
So after the success of last season, Mill made new arrangements for the team's assistant coaches and personnel this season, and after making so many big changes, Mill got 65 wins in the season.
65 regular season wins! When was the last time the Knicks had a similar result? Did the Knicks get it?
Who else has been able to achieve this in the first full season of the last rookie coach? No matter how successful the assistant coaches are here, aren't the managers, managers and players of this successful team remembered?
How could Mir, who held two important positions, not be adored by the Knicks?
When watching Mir happily raise his hand to his fans, Hill and the other five main forces also applauded behind Mir, as for what Gong Feng was thinking at this time, no one could know.
……
"Hey, everyone! Welcome to this Suns vs. Kings matchup, the first matchup between the two most watched offensive teams in the league, although the Suns' regular season results are dominant, but everyone knows what the reason for the Kings' poor results is, it is injuries that ruin a promising team! ”
"But the good news is that Webb is back! Divac is still there, and we still have All-Star Brad on the bench? Miller, I believe that this offensive duel will definitely make our fans addicted, because the two teams have nothing to say for sure that they can beat their opponents except for their offensive ability! ”
"The Suns had some injuries in the late stages that affected their final results, but as a spectator, how can I feel so happy about the Suns' position?"
"Hahaha! Actually, I feel that way too! What does it look like when two teams with an extremely flashy attack collide? I think that's what all the fans want to see! What the? You say the regular season competition? Oh my gosh, you know what the playoffs mean to a team? ”
"Oh, let's remember the starters of the two teams, this is definitely a matchup that will be recorded in league history, the Suns started with Nash, Joe Johnson, Finley, Marion and Xiaos! The Kings' starters are Bibby, Christie, Peijia, Webb and Divac, and I hope that the Kings' current starting five Tigers will still have the strength to fight seven games with the OK combination in this game! ”
"Xiao Si jumped the ball to win, Nash moved quickly the first time he got the ball, oh, Finley shot three points the moment he got the ball?"
It's really difficult for the Suns to defend the Kings' half-court offense, so the Suns' offense at the beginning will definitely play their most important speed.
Unlike the Suns' seven-second offense, the Kings' Princeton system is still a five-side, simultaneous offense, with Bibby taking the ball and moving slowly, handing the ball to Webber on the inside, and then starting to run.
The Kings, who did not compete internally for the core of ball control, are still a Princeton system led by Weber, although injuries have gradually crushed Weber's physical fitness, fast speed, and reflexes, Webber is still facing Marion, the Suns' strongest defensive ability, but Webber can still choose to use the pass to break down the Suns' defensive ability that lies on the surface.
All the players of the Kings team have super shooting ability, through the blocking and dismantling again and again, the running, and the organization initiated by the interior players, the strength of the Kings does not need to be repeated, and their two main backcourt players have the ability to score more than 20 points per game, which is already the most favorable proof.
In the regular season this season, the league is second only to Maddy in the average points per game, otherwise it is definitely a question mark whether the Kings who have experienced injuries can maintain this position.
The well-staffed Kings are strong, the Suns have long known, watching the Kings' rapid retreat, the Suns also know that it is time for the team to show half-court offense, after Nash arrived at the half, Xiao Si immediately stepped forward to block and dismantle Nash, who was immediately caught in the bag, and immediately hit the ground and passed to Xiao Si who cut the air, and under the defense of other players of the Kings, Xiao Si had already been handed over to the fast-starting Marion, layup, and the ball went in.
The Suns' offense is so efficient and strong, the Suns' interior players' movement, projection ability, and ability to create space have been thoroughly demonstrated in D'Antoni's hands, and with everything D'Antoni has experimented with in the Knicks, the Suns have taken a lot of detours.
