To be honest, Larry Brown really didn't think about it, using Prince to defend Bow Peak was a kind of contempt for Bow Peak, and it was really a great injustice.

It's just that the best thing about defending Gongfeng is interference, and Prince, who is long and long, can completely interfere with every shot and every pass of Gongfeng.

And Chauncy faced Hill, more about Chaunse's rich experience and strong body. Yes! Chauncy after coming to the Pistons, it is completely possible to describe Chauncy's current state and ability with his strong body, coupled with the speed brought by Chaunsy's figure, these factors add up to the type of breakthrough players who are most unwilling to foresee.

Although Gong Feng was a little angry at the beginning, he still followed the coach's arrangement and handed over the control of the ball to Hill first, but this time Hill could still break through and score points, but he couldn't drive the overall score of his teammates like in the last game.

Because in the second game, the Pistons' assistance defense is to turn the cutting off of the passing route into the first element of defense, rather than using the help defense to limit who scores as before, although this time allowed the Knicks to temporarily take the lead in the first quarter of the game, but the direct confrontation between Hill and Chauncey will become a protracted battle.

This is the strategy of the Pistons, since the strength is all revealed, the Pistons are not the opponent of the Knicks, so it is very simple, I am against you, use the spirit of the players to consume you, and consume you through different people...... Whether it's Hill's physical strength or the possibility of injury, it's all in Larry Brown's consideration.

Mill watched the first quarter of the game with a frown, and the Knicks began to take the initiative to replace the bench players at the end of the first quarter, but the Pistons only replaced Chauncey. Replaced by the team's best sixth man, Collis. It's a bit of an incredible thing to have a striker replace a defender, though. But Collins' scoring ability is still very good.

But Brown seems to have forgotten that the Knicks' bench ability is also very strong to a certain extent, and the bench lineup composed of Battier, Jay, Barry, Bosh and Cotter is not even weaker than the first-line main lineup of some teams.

In the second quarter of the game, Jay finally showed his fangs, because of a problem with the Pistons' collective height after they decided to change the lineup like this. It's a loophole for defensive breakout players, and for Jay, who is 1.9 meters behind his shoes, the Pistons' defenders are too tall.

It's no wonder that others ignore the '02 pick, after the Bulls' nightmarish half a season, Jay's ability is more reflected in the bench.

Some teams have a very strong sixth man scoring ability, and if there is a lack of offensive ability in the second team, such a sixth man is completely leading the bench to play, and then in the fourth quarter, he will appear in the main team. Such a sixth man will usually be the third leader or the lowest level of four players in the team.

But in some teams, the sixth man is only left with his own strong scoring ability, and some of them are the sixth man. To put it mildly, what the team wants him is his scoring ability. Still want team status? Dream on.

Jay is now in such an extremely awkward situation.

After a summer of hard work with Allen, Jay has reached a new peak in both physical confrontation and three-point shooting, and because in the Knicks, the team needs his score, not Jay to organize the team, which greatly liberates Jay's psychological constraints.

The team signed Barry for 3 million in the free market, and selected a solid guard Blake in the second-round pick, which is such a factor, Barry is tall enough, and his projection ability is also very good, enough to create space for Jay, plus Barry's experience, Jay's old captain Battier, Bosh, and Cotter, these are the types of players that Jay is familiar with, which also makes Jay better play his individual ability.

Such a bench lineup can be used as the core of the team's focus in some teams, which is why the old Nelson complained about the Knicks' 'extravagance'.

Jay in the early game, playing time is not small, an average of about 28 minutes per game, because it is the focus of the team's training, Jay's scoring ability and three-point ability have been fully utilized, because in the early stage, the team has the practice of training rookies, Jay has replaced Yao Ming to play a small lineup, replacing Allen, Hill, it can be said that Jay is very happy for a period of time.

In the middle of the season, Jay once again hit the 'rookie wall', here is not to say that his scoring ability is rapidly declining in the face of defense, but efficiency, in the case of teammates being limited, Jay's team efficiency has once again declined on a large scale, that is to say, although Jay's shots have begun to increase, but the efficiency achieved by leading the team has dropped to the low-end level that the Knicks think the whole team thinks.

Because of height and speed, Jay is still playing the actual No. 2 position, but the defensive ability of the Knicks bench lineup can't make Jay go to be Iverson without hesitation, and the rookie that the team wants to cultivate is not just Jay, so Jay's playing time has declined, and Gong Feng originally played about 30 minutes, but because of the confidence of rookie players, it reached 38 minutes.

Next is the late All-Star season, the return of Malone, the team began to prepare for the playoffs, some players who had a lot of opportunities to play began to quickly reduce their playing time, in this case, either like Korver, Dio began to aggravate, exercise their own figure, strengthen their projection ability and personal ability, exercise time off the court significantly more, increase, even if it is an away game, but also under the guidance of the physical trainer, according to their own schedule training, no longer think about their playing time, Tightly fighting for the 12-man quota to play.

Either they have playing time like Jay, Battier, and Cotter, but they need to strengthen tactical training and strengthen their scoring and defensive capabilities under tactics.

For example, in the later games of the season, Jay would replace Bow Peak about five minutes after he came on the court, and then score under Hill's organization, go to find a feel with the main players, and play half-court tactics.

Although Jay has been with the main team for a long time, Gong Feng has spent more time leading the benches than Jay, and from here Jay knows what his status in the team is, just a scoring machine that can be sent on the court at any time, not to be cultivated as the core of the team.

Jay had a stellar rookie season, hitting a triple-double against Kidd and leading the team to victory.

But Jay knew the difference between himself and Gong Feng, and in the two years or so that he had been together in college, Jay knew where he was stronger than Gong Feng and where he was weak...... Jay, who thought of this, also had a period of malaise.

No one in the Knicks blamed Jay for this, and he didn't relieve Jay of his training and practice tasks, just encouraged him to get through this time.

Gong Feng even said a lot of 'trash talk' to encourage him to get out of the predicament like he did in college, but this time Jay couldn't help but lower his head and didn't let Gong Feng see the wry smile on his face helplessly.

What the Knicks need, although Jay also wants to achieve it very much, Jay still knows that he can only rely on scoring to guide the team to victory, or in other words, Jay's scoring ability is enough, but in terms of organizing the team, scoring, controlling the tempo, and involving teammates in the offense, Jay needs more playing time!

Jay agrees that Bow Peak is a tougher genius than him in these respects, and Jay can't help but be reminded of Barkley's famous aphorism: "I'm the best athlete on the planet, what?" Jordan? He's an alien! Jay just had the urge to tell Gong Feng how much he wanted to have his ability to keep all his teammates engrossed while they were on the court.

At this time, even Jay didn't expect that a week after seeing Jay's malaise, Battier deliberately found him and said a 'reassuring word' that touched him but was also shocked after a day of training. (To be continued.) )
