After losing by 15 points to the Heat on the road, the Knicks finally returned to their normal range, defeating the Nets and the Wizards in succession, but against the Spurs, the Knicks were taught another lesson.

In this game, the Spurs did not use their strongest defense to deal with the Knicks, but sacrificed the banner of offense, the six-man Spurs team, it can also be said that the fully flowering Spurs did not let the Knicks sweep themselves, and David Lee also became famous in this battle, and the whole court limited Bosh very well, and David, as a white big center, showed rare physical fitness.

Bosh didn't have a good way to deal with David Lee, which was really unexpected by the Knicks, watching David Lee gradually begin to stand in the starting position, the Knicks didn't know what to show, just looked at the playing time of the Spurs Ginobili in this game, Mill still shook his head in his heart.

Manu's physical strength, physical fitness, and physical fitness have always been a major focus of attention for the Spurs and Spurs' opponents, and the Spurs' scoring position this season is particularly interesting and discussed. Everyone knows what the reason for Ginobili to serve as the sixth man, such a Spurs does not say whether they can enter the Finals, even after entering, the Knicks will not have any worries.

The Knicks' loss was because the Spurs' whole team performed too well, not only did the Knicks' outside feel not open, but more importantly, the Spurs' shooting rate was really terrifying, and they scored 124 points in the final game.

Then the Knicks' state also began to rise and fall, although the record did not have a downward trend and prospects, but the Knicks did not have the indomitable and invincible confidence before the All-Star break.

The strong team can win the game and win a fixed score difference of more than 10 points, win the weak team, and also distinguish the winner in the last minute, which leads to many reasons why the Knicks are like this, first of all, the key point is the rotation of core players, since the Knicks began to rotate their team's core lineup after the All-Star Game, Yao Ming and Hill's playing time has not increased at the same time, or even decreased.

In addition to Gong Feng, the Knicks' main lineup is changed very frequently, in addition to Gong Feng as the main force of the team, the playing time is not reduced, and other things are also arranged, Paul's playing time has increased, and he has gradually stepped out of the shadow of the Mavericks and found his own path, of course, I am afraid that no one can explain the pain except Paul.

The second point is that the bench time after the main rotation has increased, and the time to watch the rookies has begun to increase, and rookie players such as Livingston, Ariza, and Bass have all been given good opportunities.

Finally, the league-wide sniping of the Knicks, and the league's pursuit, no team in the league wants the Knicks to surpass that god-like record this season, and more importantly, after the All-Star break, many teams began to accelerate, strengthen the intensity of their own games, and compete for their playoff spots.

Now every game of the Knicks is broadcast live in almost several countries or the United States, and the players or teams that perform well against the Knicks will be remembered by many fans who watch the game.

In such a situation, the Knicks did not choose to come hard, and chose the meaning of competing for the first place in every game, although there was no intention of choosing to escape from the opponent, but the Knicks started their own path without doubt and chose the number of games to win.

Paul was the one who benefited the most from the Knicks' late season, and having players like Hill and Gong Feng to protect Paul was something that all players who came from their rookie days were very jealous of......

It's just that when many media people interviewed Paul, when asked how Gong Feng and Hill taught him, and even were willing to escort him on the field, Paul's expression was a little silent for a moment, and then he said a lot of clichés, and finally spoke, and even showed a trace of sadness...... Many people feel very inexplicable about Paul's expression, and they don't say a lot of clichés, but what is the final expression of 'grief'?

In fact, Paul's expression is really not a fake, but a real expression of investment. Anyone who is reprimanded all day long, constantly picking on mistakes, will have such an expression, and Paul will bear more.

This kind of behavior seems common in college, but Paul really didn't expect to continue to endure such a situation after coming to the NBA.

Paul is not the first player to receive this 'honor', Livingston is the first Knicks to decide to do so, and last season, Livingston did not average more than 5 minutes per game until the end, because Livingston was declared out by the Knicks and a bunch of 'bigwigs'.

"What are you height for? Don't be afraid of back injuries, you have to use your height to do it, you are so afraid of physical confrontation, do you still want to fight? ”

"You don't have a competition task today, give me the training of these groups, and give me a high standard to complete, otherwise you won't have any competition task tomorrow!"

"Your current body shape determines your muscle tissue, determines the structure of your body, but you shouldn't be so slow, right? Don't dare to run? Practice your long-range shooting for me, do you want to be blown away when you get to the court now? ”

"Hey, you guy is here like this, why do you want to be the core of the Knicks now, it's really a joke, don't you know enough distance for me?"

……

The Knicks' training environment is definitely not perfect, especially having a trash talk master like Payton is an alternative torture, Payton spent most of the regular season teaching Livingston, but Livingston still did not reach the path Payton designed for him in the end, and even after showing an extremely resistant expression at the end, it is also one of the reasons why Payton is not with the Knicks in the new season.

Payton didn't feel the respect of some newcomers in the Knicks, and when he played on the court, he felt more that the Knicks used their residual value and the pursuit of the championship, especially Livingston's look of avoiding him all day long and not daring to speak loudly, which was a big reason for Peyton's sad departure.

Even if Livingston seems to have changed a lot this season, or some regrets to make up for it afterwards, but the result is the result, although Livingston started training with the team in many times and practiced a lot of moves, but the final result was not very good, the Knicks needed the most three-point, back play and transfer of the ball, Livingston did not be proficient, and even did not meet the minimum standards set by the Knicks, and it seemed that hiding from playing had become Livingston's instinct.

Livingston is indeed a glass man physique after all the Knicks have been checked, especially the joints and muscles in his legs are very prone to injury, and after being traded to the Knicks in the first season, the Knicks didn't even dare to let him play because of such an important reason.

But in this second season, although Livingston is not very serious and desperately completes the various trainings prescribed by the Knicks, at least after completing a basic stage, he still can't integrate into the team in the end, and the team's tactics still want to focus on their own ball control, and the team needs to cover and tactics for it, and the shooting feel can't be opened......

Livingston is undoubtedly no longer in the future development blueprint of the Knicks, and many people have said that the Knicks have finally made a loss-making deal, but the Knicks who perform like this still reassure many people.

Paul is the one who has high hopes for the Knicks this season, and Payton's role in this season is more guided by Gong Feng, and the warm-up activities before the game can make Paul tired half to death, and the most important point is that it is impossible to play without completing the warm-up exercise.

The training in the gap between the regular season made Paul want to die, and it is no wonder that Paul has such an expression in the interview. (To be continued.) )
