Chapter 207: The Coming of the Rookie Wall in the 03 Realm
After a good day of rest for the Knicks' players, and then at home to meet the challenge of the West's 'big philanthropist' Warriors, and then sending away Jamison and Boozer, the Warriors signed veteran power forward Robinson, a veteran who caused a lot of trouble for the Knicks last season, a former Pistons player.
But Robinson in this game can only continue to act as a firefighter, constantly fighting fires for various players in various positions of the Warriors, because the current Warriors team is completely a typical playoff team with strong offense and weak defense.
What is a burst? The only explanation for this term is that the Warriors can pose a threat to any team in the league when they perform well, but if they don't perform well, the Warriors are a bad team at the bottom of the league.
The Warriors really lack a consistent scoring point and a solid defensive ability, but if you look closely, this team still has a lot to watch.
However, for the Knicks, the Warriors are useless, the Knicks' rookies are enough to pose enough threat to the current Warriors, and with the help of Gong Feng, Yao Ming alone has already blown up Dampier.
Then came to the Knicks in Toronto, facing the Raptors who already had a good combination of inside and outside, or defeated the Raptors in the middle of the fourth quarter, Bosh faced Milicic in the same grade, and with the help of his teammates, completely fixed his best rookie ranking.
Carter only got 18 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, but in the face of Allen or Hill's defense, Carter's single offensive ability is still very strong, but he was affected by a major injury, and he can no longer take bounce as a matter of course as in the past, and now Carter has already rumored that he is not in agreement with the Raptors' top management.
Then the Knicks, who returned to their home court, defeated the visiting Hawks. Then I ran into another strong enemy, the Timberwolves.
The current Timberwolves can be said to be the top level in the league in terms of single offensive ability, and Garnett also played a new career high, unlike the last game against the Knicks, the Timberwolves three-headed monster in this game completely played at the highest level of their own. The trio still scored 84 points under the Knicks' tight defense.
These 84 points are just the sum of the scores of the three monsters such as Garnett, and the Timberwolves are now a very interesting team to become.
However, the Timberwolves' bench and the other two main players combined for only 15 points in this game, while the Knicks' bench collectively contributed 38 points, and all the main players combined to score 78 points.
Garnett has no way to interfere with Yao Ming's high scoring in the low post in the Knicks' expanded offensive mode, and with the Knicks having three-point ability, Garnett's defense has become a little incompetent.
It's just in this game. In the face of Garnett's tight defense, Bosh only scored 5 points and 3 rebounds, setting a new low in the history of his rookie career.
Then on the Grizzlies' home court, Bosh faced Gasol's targeted defense, and also only scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, and against the Heat, Bosh only scored 7 points and 4 rebounds under Odom's somewhat 'angry' concentrated defense.
The last game of the trifecta. Although due to Maddy's accidental injury, Bosh seized the opportunity to get 10 points and 5 rebounds. But that's the magic that has lost the morale of the military.
Then back at home, the back-to-back Knicks, although they easily defeated the visiting Heat in the third quarter of the game, but Bosh still did not score more than 10 points, and when Bosh was deliberately targeted, the Knicks still got ten wins and one loss after losing to the Lakers. Once again, he strengthened his record in the league.
But now the Knicks are also facing a lot of major problems, and the first place is the Knicks' rookies, which have begun to continue to malaise.
After returning home to win the visiting Heat and giving his somewhat tired players a day off, Mill held a closed-door meeting with a large group of his assistant coaches.
"The rookie wall is exactly what we expected. It's starting to come! Our rookies are going to face one of the biggest challenges of the season! After studying all the games in this period, the three assistant coaches made this point very clearly.
"Unlike the traditional one-man rookie wall, the rookies we selected all encountered new challenges, physical strength, mental strength, weight, way of playing, habitual movements...... These have become the focus of research for other teams. ”
"Bosh is the top priority of other teams' research, in the area where Bosh focuses on scoring, during this time, it is the focus of other teams' defense, Bosh's three-point is relatively weak, afraid of confrontation, and does not like physical contact, even small players have begun to constantly contact Bosh's body when defending Bosh after blocking and dismantling, which is also a reason for the decline in Bosh's shooting rate and scoring accumulation!"
"In the twenty regular season games after the start of the season, Bosh's shooting rate can be maintained at about 40 percent, and the score is hovering around 13 points, even the average rebound grabbed is also about 6, but in the last ten games, Bosh's score has become 7 points and 4 rebounds, and the shooting rate has dropped to nearly 40%, which is still because Bosh got a lot of open shots in the game!"
"The other rookies are not far behind, because when we select these players, we select them for a single function and don't think too much about other factors."
"Korver is completely limited by any player on any team right now, even if his playing time is reduced to about five minutes per game, but his scoring is still limited to less than three points, you know, we have created a lot of space for the shooter, but his three-point shooting percentage has dropped to 30% recently."
"As long as Blake is on the court, it has become our new defensive hole, in the game against the Heat, the Heat's rookie Wade scored 31 points under Blake's defense, although most of it was scored in garbage time, but from here, we can also see that the current Blake is deliberately targeted."
"The same is true of Dior, who is completely unsuitable for the NBA, and now he has been found to have a lot of shortcomings, although Dior's style of play is very sensible and all-round, but his role on the court has become smaller and smaller."
"Many of the problems faced by the rookies take a lot of time to solve, and we don't have much to do to help the rookies deal with this problem, which can only be to increase the intensity of their training matches in the team, increase their game experience, and strengthen their diet and training intensity, but the other big problem that the rookies face is that their physical reserves have reached a limit."
"Well, this is a very troublesome point, but from the end of the draft to the end of December, our rookies have not really rested, in the training class opened by Allen, training under our guidance, under our guidance, under our guidance, we continue to familiarize ourselves with the Knicks' various tactical systems, various small tactics cooperation, continue to train their physical fitness, and constantly strengthen their single ability."
"If they are playing officially now, under the opponent's tight defense, they can maintain their concentration and physical strength for two quarters, which is already a very good result."
"It's the collective conclusion that we've come to after studying the games over this period of time, and once we still rely on the rookies to score and strengthen one of our teams, we're going to have a good chance of losing streak."
When Mill heard this, he just smiled and asked after half a ring: "Then why did we get very good results during this time?" ”
Looking at everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all look at Mir a little inexplicably, isn't it obvious? The team against was targeted by the Knicks, and their core players played well, isn't this all the reason?
Mir looked at the three very young people who were studying the video, looking at the black around their eyes, but they all looked at him with a blank expression, first nodded at their achievements, and then shook his head with some regret.
In the end, Mir, who didn't have an answer right away, first asked Thibodeau: "When we started the season, was the pattern we designed completed?" (To be continued.) )
