Chapter 243: Mir's Thoughts and Reality

Human energy is limited, basketball players have not increased much in the game, in the history of the NBA, from the moment the name of the center position appeared, the efficiency of a single success is the most realistic point in the league.

So Mill decided to let the players focus on defense, increase the team's offensive success efficiency, add some of the playoff team should look like, let his own strong point in one place become the strong point of his team as a whole, let the opposing point that doesn't seem so reliable, and reduce the frequency of offense in the offense.

In general, Mir's approach is certainly not the slightest mistake in direction.

Once all the players on a team put their energy in one place, then the other aspect will become a little worse, which is related to the psychological factors of the players themselves, the physical confrontation at the playoff level, other thoughts in the mind, as long as it affects the player's desire to focus on the game, all of which are the reasons for their poor offensive performance.

When Mill asked his players to strengthen their physical confrontation in the first game, he had already anticipated the problems that his players would have, but Mill forgot that the individual abilities of the Knicks' players became really strong enough when they stimulated each other.

When Mill just regarded Ray Allen simply as a general shooter in the league, he forgot that Allen, who was born as a rookie in 96, has already been accustomed to shooting under the premise of physical confrontation in every game, and Allen's opponents know that Allen's three-point ability is very strong, so what do Allen's opponents do? Isn't it okay to let Allen's three points fail?

You must know that in history, Allen has led the team to the playoffs as a core three-point player of the team, and I believe many people remember Ray Allen's playoffs because the opponent is the one we know best.

So after the start of this game, Ray Allen hit three bottom-footed, unguarded three-pointers, which was not so unbelievable.

The other thing is that Mir hasn't really thought about it carefully. How did Gong Feng get the FMVP that all players dream of in his first rookie season, and when he just thought that Gong Feng's physical ability was not enough to fight against Chauncey, he naturally reduced the number of times Gong Feng scored.

But Gong Feng is a playoff player, which is not to say that his organizational skills are very important in the playoffs, and it is already very difficult for Gong Feng's organizational skills to maintain a level all the time.

When Gong Feng has teammates who need him, his scoring ability has been overlooked by everyone. Even if it's on the Knicks. First of all, Gong Feng is a player under the 'system', and this system, that is, Gong Feng, is a player who needs the ability of his teammates.

Hamilton and Jordan on the Wizards, Hill and Allen on the Knicks.

In terms of Gong Feng's ability now, averaging 18 points per game in a season is no longer a real problem, but what can Gong Feng get if he scores 18 points? For Gong Feng now, scoring 14 points can ensure a regular season game for the team, so why risk a physical injury and force a break through the basket. What about getting the 4 points that the team doesn't really need?

So all of Gong Feng's offensive abilities seem to be like this, but what people ignore is that Gong Feng played 82 regular season games with an average of 35 minutes per game this season...... And the body has been intact since his rookie season and has not been injured by injuries once, you must know that Gong Feng's body is not a little monster like LeBron.

In Mir's mind, Bow Peak is the Knicks' weakness! But Mir didn't think about it deeply, the only weakness in the comparison between Gong Feng and Chauncy is his defensive ability, but not the scoring and organizational ability of the defender!

Gong Feng's imaginative organization is the strongest ability he has revealed. And once Mir wants to make the game a little easier, Gong Feng's scoring ability will be shown to the fullest.

Don't forget. In the playoffs that year, the blocking and dismantling cooperation between Gong Feng and Kwamei was the main scoring method of the Wizards!

Yao Ming's alignment with Ben Wallace is even more conscious, Yao Ming is afraid of Ben's defense, but he really wants to attack under Ben's basket in the low post. Yao Ming's backward shooting range can be reduced by a large chunk.

The real thing that Mill forgot more is that in the regular season, Gong Feng, Ray Allen, Hill and Yao Ming all focused on playing, and they all belonged to the state they should be in and did not force themselves in every game. You have to be in good shape, you can keep your ability around a level line, and slowly improve, to reach the highest level in the playoffs, and the regular season is more about strengthening your efficiency.

The average shooting rate of the Knicks' main players, except for Bosh, is not lower than 43 percent, Yao Ming is even 50 percent, among the main players, Gong Feng has been on the court for the longest time, because when he is with the benches, Gong Feng's ability is what the substitutes need most, and no matter who Gong Feng partners with, it is the same.

The Pistons' defensive ability is indeed the strongest in the league, but the Pistons' defensive tactics have no way to limit the two players who are both strong three-point players.

Mir's original idea of the game was to make his main team perform slightly better than the main team of the Pistons, leading by about five points, and then use strong bench players to increase his score, and finally slowly kill the Pistons again.

There's certainly nothing wrong with that idea, and if the Knicks were really Mir, or what everyone thinks he is, there's nothing wrong with Mir's approach.

But is the game against the Wizards really all the Knicks' abilities? Kwame is so desperate to get a win, but there is no way, is it really just because of the Knicks' lineup, which completely restrained Kwame's play?

Is it just a regular-season team that will let the Pistons stand in the way?

Well, Mir thought wrong and didn't do anything wrong, and when Mir laid out the simplistic principles of the attack, it was enough to set the most basic tone for both sides of the first game...... That's enough.

The Pistons' defensive principle is generally to rely on individual defense first, in front of the top, can defend the best, even if the defense can not be completely given Ben or Prince and other players to help defend the space and timing, the Pistons tighten the basket at the same time, can also block the opponent a threatening three-point scoring point...... It's already a limit to a player's ability to help defend, unless the Pistons give up on tight defense on the inside.

Such a Piston, of course, can defeat the peak Nets, because no one on the Nets' interior can defend Rashid, and the Pistons can also beat O'Neal's team.

The Lakers, who are not at their peak, or O'Neal, who is not at their peak, will not be able to defeat this Pistons, if not because of anything else, the tight strategic defense will be Larry again? Brown's strengths, and some of the league's rules for the interior are even more powerful against this kind of Pistons.

But the Knicks are not in the ranks, although Larry Brown expected the Knicks' wide offensive range, and even arranged a lot of tactics to make up for it, but he would never have thought that the Knicks' personal ability would also reach the top of a mountain.

When somewhere, or rather when Hill is drawn to the bag, the Knicks' move ball is enough to give the Pistons a headache.

The Knicks' tactics, no one stands there alone, and then the others stand by and watch their core attack, the three-point point on the outside and Ben Wallace on the inside, Yao Ming or Malone on the defense, showing a triangle formation constantly pulling, and these three points are the ability to score with confidence.

Once a Pistons player goes to cover Hill, who wants to score, it only takes two passes from the Knicks player to get a finisher to cut through Larry's strong defense.

As long as the Pistons' five points are not strong defense in the true sense of the word, and they do not have very strong individual defensive ability to limit the play of all Knicks players, then the Pistons have no way to rely on their own defense to win the game.

In terms of physical talent alone, although the Knicks are not necessarily the best in the league personally, their overall offensive talent is now the top in the league. (To be continued.) )
