Chapter 200 03 to 04 Season Regular Season Begins
There is no need to say anything in the preseason in China, the Knicks have long been one of the most supported teams in China, and this is also a very fierce preseason game.
Gong Feng had already returned to the team to start training for the new season, and Mir finally persuaded D'Antoni and Thibodeau to stay and help him for the time being, of course, how Mir signed the relevant agreement with the two, others do not know the specific situation.
In the preseason game of the Knicks, the playing time of absolute main players such as Gong Feng is very limited, and in the preseason, Mill is more of a strategy of constantly changing players, which also leads to some confusion in tactics, and the Knicks' preseason results are not very good. Of course, this is also because Gong Feng and Hill did not organize the team's rhythm, and Mill wanted to see the competitive state of each player, and the single defensive player in the game was a major attraction.
You may not care about the results in the preseason, but you need to study the main players and bench players before the regular season, otherwise Knicks fans will not do it.
"Bosh is the best option right now to get into the main team, and we have to let the young man build his confidence slowly."
"But the combination of Hill and Kurt has proven to be a success......"
"In the new season, we are still focusing on the fulcrum attack on the inside and supporting the tactics on the outside, although Hill is recovering very well, which is beyond our expectations, but the development of Bosh also needs to be taken into account...... Do Bosh and Kurt need to say more about this kind of thing in the future choice? ”
"When Yao Ming was there, I agreed to focus on switching attacks and positions, but what tactics do we choose on the bench?"
The Knicks are now facing the annoyance of bliss. There are a lot of talented young people. But whether it can be effective in the game is unknown.
Mill listened to the conversation between the two assistants. After a moment of silence, Mill asked, "Although Malone will be involved in governance and recovery in the early part of the regular season, it will be fully recovered in the later stages, so what are we going to do when Malone comes back?" Let him go to play as a substitute? ”
Speaking of this, Mill showed his own unique calm smile and said calmly: "This season we will undoubtedly be a inside-based tactic, because our interior is the top configuration in the league. Bosh's style of play is also the most similar to Malone, and in this case, Bosh must be involved in the early stage. ”
After looking at Thibodeau's unhappy smile, Mir continued as if he hadn't seen it: "We actually failed last season, so how much strength can we strengthen when we are completely unchanged from last season?" Won't anyone else study us? With Yao Ming again, Cotter's ability to defend against monoclonal antibodies in the low post is secondary, and we should let the veteran slim down, slowly lose his weight, and let him focus on other defenses. That's what matters most to us. ”
"The main players are now Gong Feng, Allen, Hill, Yao Ming and Bosh, and we want to give the rookies a chance to prove themselves. Once it is found that it is not suitable, Kurt can return to the starting lineup at any time, so it is decided first! ”
"And what about the core of the bench players and the substitutes? Do we choose to be a little more conservative and put Barry on the court, or do we develop Blake, a second-round pick? ”
"We have a number of stars now, and Gong Feng's organizational style can be freely switched between positional battles and Anthony's system, the substitute should be Gong Feng's main force, and the main force is Hill's main force, which is what I want to explain."
When Anthony and Thibodeau heard this, they revealed to each other that they were very satisfied with the arrangement.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the two, Mill began to smile and end the happy meeting, and then began to discuss with the two how to face the Orlando Magic on their home court against their opponents in Game 1 of the regular season.
The Magic's moves in the summer weren't too small, with Tyrone and Juwan Howard joining...... But let's be honest, the Magic may have enough firepower on offense now, but they are not as good on defense, especially on the inside. Yao Ming scored 12 points in the first quarter under the defense of Drew Gooden, and the Knicks' firepower in the first quarter was all focused on Yao Ming alone.
Hill's main task in this game was to defend Maddy, and Bow Feng began to follow Houston and constantly interfere with his shooting...... Ray Allen is staring at Tyrone Lue, which is also a kind of attempt by Thibodeau to defend the team, and it is also a big 'proof of sin' that he doesn't believe in Bow Peak's defense.
When Rivers saw Yao Ming's hot hand, he immediately asked Gooden to choose to go around the front defense, but when Yao Ming was wrapped around and Bosh began to hold the ball to face Zhu Wan, who was already a little old, the Knicks rookie was secretly happy.
Bosh first didn't expect his first regular season game in the Knicks to come soon, and Bosh also knew that he was still a little far from Cotter, but who would have thought that Milley would be a starter in the first regular season game?
Bosh, who shook his head, focused all his energy on his opponent, watched Yao Ming being blocked, and watched Zhu Wan focus on other players, Bosh rushed directly to Zhu Wan's right without making any feints.
Seeing Bosh who performed like this, Mill nodded affirmatively, not blindly going to singles, and his individual style of play was also very team...... If Bosh is playing very self-consciously, Mir will have a bit of a headache and even give up on it temporarily.
Rivers has a lot of headaches about this, especially when he sees the constant movement of Gong Feng and Allen to create space for others and become the two major tentacles of the team, knowing that Hill is now only responsible for defending Maddie full-time.
The Knicks' offense, the Magic can't defend, and the Magic's offense has also encountered problems, that is, the Knicks' defense has become a tight type, and Yao Ming doesn't move much easily on defense, just blocking all his own areas, even if Drew has thrown two long-distance two-pointers, the Knicks are unmoved.
Maddie can't do whatever he wants in the Knicks' tightening, and the Magic really don't have a reliable three-point shooter on the perimeter to open enough distance for Maddy.
Without Houston's help, the Magic's margin over the Knicks in the first quarter would have been more than 10 points. However, after the bench lineup of Gong Feng and Allen, Battier, Gerrard and Cotter came out, the other players of the Magic team began to become completely helpless, and Gong Feng was only a warm-up in the first quarter, and he continued to run with full horsepower from the beginning of the second quarter.
Although Gong Feng can also play a quick attack with a transition when Yao Ming is around, Gong Feng still likes the feeling of being alone in control of the situation, especially Gong Feng is also eager to try to try to train a summer of organization and conversion points.
Rivers looked at the bench in just three minutes, and the score was stretched to more than 10 points, and he could only immediately replace Maddie to stabilize the situation, but after the Magic team with Maddie also began to run wildly, in five minutes, the gap between players and players was seen.
Maddy can create good opportunities for his teammates, but whether his teammates can shoot or score basketball is a big problem, but the Knicks are completely different, everyone has the ability to create offensive space for their teammates.
Just when Rivers watched the situation on the court not good and kept sending the main players, the Knicks were completely unmoved, but firmly maintained the bench lineup led by Gong Feng, and Gong Feng played the entire half.
By halftime, the Knicks had stretched the score to more than 15 points, while Maddy only had a two-minute break at halftime.
In the third quarter of the game, Gong Feng and Ray Allen rested, and Blake made his first appearance...... Mir is such a bold coach, a coach who dares to give players a chance, but it is up to the players themselves to seize such opportunities.
Jay is the second appearance, in the case of Ray Allen urging a summer, Mill also wants to see how much Jay has improved, at the beginning of the third quarter, it is the time for Jay to hold the ball and attack, looking at the difference in the score, Mill did not rush to send Hill on the court, but sent Battier to strengthen Jay's offensive effect.
