Chapter 167: The embarrassing situation faced by the Knicks
Bow Peak and Thunder? Allen didn't care about any honors this season, his initial performance in the season, he actually knew best, and the Knicks next season are a team that will shock the entire league.
All the Knicks are just constantly strengthening the training and deepening the tacit understanding between the players, the performance of the Pistons in the last game is really a wake-up call for all the Knicks, the Knicks' current weaknesses and strengths are too distinct, if it weren't for Hill's 30+7+7 data in the fourth game, losing the fourth game, and returning to Auburn Palace, it wouldn't necessarily happen.
It was also when the players were actively training that Mir held an internal collective meeting of the assistant coaching staff, the management team, and the medical team.
After taking his seat, Mir had already asked directly, "How is Hill doing now?" Are you okay with your injuries, physical fitness, etc.? ”
"It's not very optimistic, and you know how much Hill paid for a perfect comeback, and if it weren't for the potential situation that the medical alliance that suddenly appeared found during the review of Hill, it wouldn't have been worse now."
"I know the role of that medical institution in this, but isn't there no problem with injuries? I'm asking if Hill can keep up with his current form. ”
"We started to accelerate in the late season to pay for the early games, but even after we were determined to be in seventh place in the East, because of the pressure from the front and back, there was no way to really rest or rotate the players. Jay, even Bow Peak's physical fitness is in trouble, don't forget, apart from Bow Peak, the only organization of the team can rely on Hill......"
'Well, I know where the team is. I mean, is there a good way to alleviate our situation! ”
"If you want the team to continue to win, you can only let Alendor play and let Alendor pay some, but he was also affected by injuries in the early days, Gerrard and Battier are only rookies, and their performances will be very inconsistent, but these two people are already important rotation players for us. Anthony is showing his age, he is very limited in what he can do, and more importantly, we have to look at the Nets' defense and offense, and we have to restrain the Pistons to get here. ”
"Why, you all agree that the Nets are going to win."
"If Iverson can average 40+ per game in the playoffs, I can guarantee that he won't be on the second team."
"Once Iverson's scoring is limited to less than 40 points, the current 76ers will definitely lose, and the Nets are much stronger as a whole than the 76ers."
"Well, you guys mean when the Knicks meet the Nets. Will we end up helpless? ”
"I also know the importance of this series, it's a derby in the same city. But the Nets' main frame players have been together for three years, and what about us? 40 games? If it were next season, I can guarantee that we can blow up the current Nets, but now we have too many uncertainties against the Nets. ”
'As a manager, of course I know that the players in the squad are old. The young are too young, and there are only about three or four stalwarts players who can be trusted, but since we can create a small record in Black Seven, why can't we create a miracle again? Could it be that he Kidd could not have any magic? We're going to be bad once we run into the Nets? ”
"Against the Nets, everything depends on the performance of Yao Ming on the inside, if Yao Ming can average 20+ per game on the inside. We still have a chance to win. ”
"If Hill can beat Jefferson, he can win the game if he maintains his current state, but yesterday's Hill has felt some discomfort, after a series of careful examinations, this medical institution that has just been established this year, believes that Hill's playing is no longer high-intensity exercise, and now Hill's leg musculature has been in a tired state, has been overwhelmed with more burdens, after careful calculations, they came to the conclusion that this round of the playoffs can not be played for more than 18 minutes, Otherwise, something unexpected may happen. ”
Mill sighed, but didn't say anything, Hill is the best player to partner with Yao Ming and Cott, once Hill's impact is not there, Yao Ming will not have an extremely stable and reliable performance at this level in the playoffs.
"D'Antoni, what if we replace Yao Ming and play your small lineup, what will happen to the Nets?"
"Gong Feng's comprehension ability is outstanding, you can understand my tactical thinking after just 30 games, if you meet any opponent in the East, I think the small ball tactics will be successful, but Gong Feng met Kidd at his peak, not that I am arrogant, an immature 'V' type tactic meets defense, and the offense is a high-intensity Nets, I don't think we can win."
"Immature tactics? Didn't Gong Feng perform well in the attack? ”
"Kort has been heavily influenced by the Knicks, he's a defensive player who protects the box now, and he's not the young guy who can run fast, without this high position, this point after the pick-and-roll, even if Bow Peak, Allen, Battier are very much in line with our tactical thinking, I don't dare to guarantee victory. The current Knicks are an immature fast-break team, and they can't accelerate or slow down. ”
"I understand what you mean, but I feel the tacit understanding of the attack of several of them, so Thibodeau, is your defense formed?"
"It can be said that it has been formed, but it lacks the support of data, if Yao Ming is stronger, Battier is more mature, Gerrard can develop a stable shot, Anthony can do more, it can really make an effect, of course, if you defend the Nets in a short period of time, I think it can still be done."
After Mir heard these news, he felt that he was about to collapse, pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand, waved his hand to let everyone leave first, and he was quiet first, and stayed in the room alone for a long time, and even after smoking a whole cigar, Mir laughed: "What Lao Tzu wants is a dynasty in New York, since these people have proven their strength, what else does Lao Tzu want to force?" ”
Mir, who thought of something again, smiled even more happily, "Besides, who said that a victory in the first round of the playoffs must be a fair competition?" From the beginning to the end of last season, wasn't it just in the sneak that the Wizards won the final victory? ”
After finding a firm belief in himself, Mill began to put together all the player skills in his hands, the time he could play, and the various tactics of the team.
And then in an empty room, I figured out how to win the final game against the current Nets, without even asking any of the assistant coaches...... Mill thinks he can think about how to play from an outsider's perspective, and maybe the Knicks who do so might win in a mess?
This is Mir's character, when making decisions, he only needs the reference materials provided by others, but he does not need others to make decisions for himself, and the final decision must be made by Mir himself.
In the game between the Nets and the 76ers, as expected by the Knicks assistant coaches, in the fifth and sixth games, the Nets won two big wins directly, and never gave Philadelphia the slightest chance from the beginning of the game.
The Magic team was also slightly lucky to beat the Pacers by relying on a game played by Kemp, and the Pacers, who have not yet found their form and lineup tacit understanding, still can't win the Magic with two superstars coexisting by relying on the main play alone.
The Lakers eventually advanced 4-2, and the second round against the Spurs, who may be one of the strongest opponents of the season, may be the game that will determine the future of the Spurs.
Although the Mavericks were almost overturned by the Trail Blazers in a 3-0 run on the eve, they finally won the final victory in Game 7, and then they will face the Kings, which is an inevitable round of offensive matchups. (To be continued.) )
