Chapter 241: Princeton vs. D'Antony
The offensive matchup between the Kings and the Suns also appeared in the sixth game, although the overall strength of the Kings team is indeed a little higher than that of the Mavericks, but this contrast is actually very insignificant, what the Kings need is the tacit cooperation between the teams, what they need is teammates to create space for shooters, through passing, blocking and other high-low tactics to win shots and scoring space.
And the Suns are the kind of high-speed movement ability, plus a group of players with good projection, through constant running, pulling the opposing defenders, plus Nash's rhythm control and adjustment ability, so that the Suns become the ideal offensive team in D'Antoni's mind.
The competition between the Kings and the Suns can be described as a competition of each other's rhythm, a competition of players' outside feelings, and a competition of running with each other.
With this, after losing the first game, the Suns won two games in a row through the state of running undead, and the score of the two sides went up to 130, which is a very rare score in the regular season.
Seeing his players lose in 'happiness', Adelman immediately held a closed-door meeting with all the players, and it was unknown what was said in this meeting, but in the fourth game it was Christie who went to defend Nash, and it was Christie who brought the ball to the frontcourt.
The King's playmaking point is on the inside, and the three main players on the outside are the endpoints, and the Kings used a 96-point 'low score' in the fourth game to declare that the Kings are defensive, and the core of the Kings has not changed, Webb is still the well-deserved core of the Kings.
The Suns' interior defense was completely blown out by the Kings' interior defense in the Kings' half-court offense that relied on height, experience, and top-notch offense.
Xiao Si was whistled for six fouls in the fifth game and left the court, without Xiao Si's pulling. The Suns don't have a second interior fulcrum to rely on, and the most critical fifth game is naturally lost.
In the sixth game that followed, the Kings who returned to their home court did not give the Suns the slightest chance from the beginning, when the Suns' offense could not tear up the defense, when the Kings let Nash score to their heart's content but did not let Nash organize the team, when the Suns did not have a second organization point exposed. In fact, the Suns have already lost.
The Suns, who won two games in a row and lost three games in a row, really got the treatment of ice and fire, D'Antoni watched his team use a lot of compensation strategies after no second organization point was discovered, and Finley was reused by Mike, but unfortunately Finley's current style of play is too dependent on the body, and his own organizational ability can only be the goal after the breakthrough, and his personal singles ability can be realized.
This is a far cry from Hill's second organizational ability.
Thinking of this, D'Antoni looked at the Knicks' mature half-court offensive system, and looked at Gong Feng when he didn't take the initiative to organize the team to win. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Knicks are really the kind of team that talks about victory, and they never care about the ideal of the head coach, they just want to get the victory they deserve!
Now that the second round of the West has been decided, the league has begun to award some of the awards for the season.
Rookie of the Year is really in LeBron's bag, and when it comes to leading the team to stand alone on the door of the playoffs, LeBron is indeed the best winner of this award, and it is a victory for a 19-year-old high school student to take a fringe team to where it is today.
The best defensive player went to Artest.
The Pacers' progress this year has been noticeable. Second in the East, second in the league except for the Knicks and Suns. It was really unexpected by many people, and Artest's mission and ability on the Pacers were also favored by everyone.
The reason why Kwame and Ben Wallace missed this result was mainly because Kwame's main energy was thrown in his own offensive direction this year, and Ben was affected by his team's results.
The award for the sixth man is Jay? Williams's, his original strongest opponent, Jamison because of the team's adjustments. After more than 40 games as a starter, he finally proved that his defensive ability was similar to Josh's, and he finally returned to the bench because of his strong individual offensive ability.
Jay's improvement this year has been particularly noticeable, with his stats rising to 14+6 as the team's most penetrating player in the back line. Jay is an indispensable scoring point for the Knicks, and it also greatly enriches the team's tactical options and increases the thickness and ability of the Knicks' lineup.
The best manager is undoubtedly Mir? Dolan's 65 wins in the new season is a testament to the strength of the Knicks, no matter how many assistant coaches Mill has and how much they will be paid for it.
When presenting this award to Mir, he even joked at the award ceremony that this award should have been won by D'Antoni and Thibodeau, which has to say how Mir's strong personal charm infected all Knicks.
There's no doubt about the award for the most improved player, Zach? Randolph is bound to be one of the award-winning, from the role player of the Trail Blazers last season to the Rockets' average of 19+11 per game after becoming the core of the interior offense, Randolph has been considered a new generation of Rockets stars.
The All-round Team is also the most awarded award for the Knicks, Hill entered the first team, Ray Allen and Yao Ming entered the second team, and Gong Feng entered the third team, which is also the second time that Gong Feng has entered the third team, but Gong Feng doesn't look so excited after knowing that he has won this award.
Hill and Garnett also made the All-Defensive Team, while Bow Peak also ranked third in the league in assists, overtaken by Kidd and Nash.
Rookie Bosh was named to the first team, and interestingly, Milicic was named to the rookie second team...... It's because all the stats in the rookie's first rookie are too strong.
After these awards are awarded, there are only two most valuable trophies, the MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals!
And who this regular season MVP is given to is very controversial now.
Hill won't think about it for now, the Knicks are facing their first hurdle of the year, and anyway, Larry Brown's team is definitely not a character to be underestimated.
And Mir even had a meeting with all the players before the game.
"Rashid? The Pistons after Wallace arrived are no longer a team that allows us to score easily, and it can be said that all of Larry's ideas have been presented in this team, including all of his own ideas. Seeing that all the main forces showed serious expressions, without the slightest slack because of their own victory, Mir nodded with great satisfaction.
"First of all, we have to make sure, very important, what are we fighting with each other? Is it our best pick-and-roll, high-low offense, or something else that we do? If I say we're going to play the Pistons defensively, do you guys have any ideas? ”
"Defending against each other? Larry Brown's team goes on offense? Isn't that a bit incredible? ”
"But Thibodeau's defensive system, in my opinion, is not weak with Larry Brown, and the Pistons have some people, some tactics will make us very uncomfortable, just one point, Gong Feng, are you sure to stop Chauncey's offense?"
"It's hard! Now he's strong! Offense, assists, and defense all play in this team, and their own weaknesses are already very few, and now they are covered up as a whole, if you have to say anything about Chauncey's weaknesses, it's talent! ”
"Well, so after the opening, I'll use Ray Allen to defend him, and you go deal with your old teammates!"
"Hehe, then I'm afraid I'll be tired and vomit blood! Hamilton's running is really tough, but don't worry, leave it to me! "Gong Feng has indeed become a little different since he knew that he was in the third team, but Mir is not focusing on the player he is most comfortable with. (To be continued.) )
