"Phoenix has a deep relationship with us, especially last season when they were a dark horse, and this season they have taken it a step further, and now they really have the quality and ability to challenge any team in the league."

"Gong Feng, I don't think Kidd should be the only one on your opponent list, look at Nash's performance this year, the data he has now, the role he has played in the team, the passing and breakthrough ability he has shown, and now he is not much different from Kidd, and even at some moments, putting Kidd in the Suns can't make the team so good." Gong Feng felt very unfamiliar when he heard Mir say these words of encouragement before the game.

"Let's not compare the Suns last season with the current Suns, the current Suns are both offensive and defensive, and on the premise of attacking and being extremely fluid, the defense has also improved a lot, which is the assist that our Knicks gave them, and Cotter has been very good in the Suns, and has even hit an eight-double-double."

"Kerter's joining is not only to liberate Xiaosi and strengthen the Suns' slightly weak defense, but he also increases the overall thickness of the Suns' lineup, Barbossa's offense has been much stronger this year, and now the Suns' offensive power has reached a new level."

"The current Suns are similar to us and the Mavericks in terms of the main lineup, especially after Xiao Si developed his own long-range shooting, the Suns are now becoming more elusive, and they now have a strong single offensive ability at every point, and they also have a high level of tactical literacy."

"Having said all this, it's just to raise your vigilance, treat this game as a playoff opponent, and preferably have the spirit of playing in the finals."

"In addition, Gong Feng, your 'laziness' in the game gave me a good rest, I know that you have not played your true state during this time, this game is not an opponent that you can beat carelessly, although your average assists per game have risen to 12, but how did your score drop to 10 points? You're shooting 54 percent from three-point range, but you're hitting two three-pointers every game......"

Mir said that the rise did not care what the other players and assistant coaches were now, and some people were surprised at the same time, only to know how their shots had not dropped after Gong Feng came back during this time, it turned out to be like this!

Thibodeau and Gentry glanced at each other, and the two didn't say anything, but the two of them already knew that Mir had made an important choice in their hearts.

This season, Hill and Yao Ming's playing time has decreased, or it is a moment of adjustment, although Hill's 12+6+6 data is very rare, but he has indeed converged his light, not as desperate as last season.

Because Yao Ming was found to be at risk of potential injury, the protection time of the body off the field has become very long, which is also a very physically demanding daily activity, often have to do some stretching actions every day, to protect the high-intensity action of the moving joints everywhere, especially the weight-bearing joints in the lower body, and because of the Olympics, a lot of training has caused Yao Ming's muscles have also entered the fatigue period.

Although I don't want Yao Ming to become a giant on the inside, there must be reinforcement, especially the strength and strength of the hips, waist, thighs, and calves must go up, and the current Yao Ming is very similar to Cotter at the same time last season, and it takes a lot of time to make physical adjustments.

Of course, Yao Ming has not missed any regular season games so far, but the playing time of each game has changed from 34 minutes in the past regular season to 22 minutes now, that is, about two quarters of play.

reduced the playing time by nearly 12 minutes, but Yao Ming's data did not drop too much, and he still got 15+6+4+1 data, just because of one point, as long as Yao Ming is on the court to play, he is the absolute core of the Knicks.

In the early part of the season, Jay, Ray Allen and Battier played the most minutes on the team, with 34, 32 and 35 minutes respectively, which was also related to the relationship between Battier and Allen, whose contracts expired in the summer.

Although Mir has stressed that Allen and Battier are two players that the team will never give up, the attitude must be made, and unless it is a back-to-back game, Mir will definitely give these players a chance to show themselves.

The new Payton's main task now is to get a tight grip on the team's defense and take on the greater responsibility of some players, and his old man has long since stopped taking statistics as an afterthought, so his playing time is about the same as Yao Ming.

After the main players have made certain 'sacrifices', other players have naturally benefited a lot, Bosh has risen from an average of 10+7 per game last season to 16+9 this season, and the shooting rate has not changed at the same time, and his own improvement is indeed great.

Although Jay has declined to a certain extent in terms of data after Gong Feng came back, he can still maintain the playing time of 28 minutes per game, but it is a little strange that Jay's shooting rate has decreased a little compared to before, and Mill has talked to Jay a few times in this regard, and no one knows how to speak, but after the two came out, they didn't see much joy in their expressions, but they didn't have much anger.

As for other people's statistics, they have ******** rising, Korver's 8 points, an average of 40 percent three-point shooting per game, Dio's 8+6+5, and Pachuria's 5+5 are the result of great time and progress.

Of course, there are prouds in every team, and there will be disappointments, and the most disappointed this season is probably Blake and rookie Ariza, who have almost no playing time, and the two are on the watch list in turn.

Ariza can't bear it and have to endure it, the current Battier is a little weaker than Ariza's impact ability, and he can be said to explode in other aspects, plus the Knicks need Battier's ability to show, Ariza's playing time can be imagined, and Ariza, who was born in high school, now needs to learn countless.

Blake is even more unlucky because of Payton's arrival, although in training, Blake is much more serious like many rotation players, but to be specific, Blake's ability is too different from Gong Feng, that is, Jay has become a substitute for Gong Feng, not to mention Blake, who has mediocre quality.

Although Blake's ability, skills, and experience have risen rapidly, the current Knicks really do not have his Blake position, and sometimes many players see Blake's appearance of wanting to say something but not saying anything.

It's like Barry last season, although he got the championship ring at the end, but he is not really happy, he averages 4 minutes per game in the regular season, even a shooter has to be ranked behind Blake, and at the critical moment of the finals, he was abandoned by the team to choose a rookie, but this is Barry, and after he left, he semi-publicly expressed his gratitude to the Knicks, not because of anything else, but because of the respect that other Knicks players have for him, and he is also willing to coach all the Knicks players.

The shooter genes of the Barry family are very strong and inherited, and Barry has been in the league for many years and many teams, it would be a strange thing if he didn't have any unique skills in his hands, and the current players of the Knicks who have shooting ability near the three-point line are all under Barry's care and personal guidance.

That's how Blake and Barry got a good relationship, as if Blake and Barry at the Rockets had a good conversation after a few days, and after Blake and Mir had an open and honest conversation for two hours one recent day, Mill began to look for a new round of small deals.

In any case, in the eyes of the players and assistants, Mir is indeed a good manager and coach who thinks about his players very much, and is willing to serve a very charismatic leader.

And this game is Mill's last chance to let Blake show, of course, this opportunity is also an opportunity to show his ability in Mir's view, only when he is sure to win, he will let Blake play, Mill himself does not attach great importance to it, it is really a second-round pick Blake, the trade value is too small, and this season's Knicks are well integrated, Mill does not want Blake to do anything at all.

The brutal truth is that if the deal doesn't work out, Mill will have to let Blake stay until after the contract ends.

……

The 15-16 season is over, and I am afraid that the various players and leagues in this round of the finals have surpassed the topic of the first championship in the history of the Cavaliers, which makes a region feel honored.

People are not a machine after all, there are too many factors that can affect the various states of a person and a team composed of people, not that the Cavaliers don't deserve this championship, anyway, the Cavaliers are doing a very good job, and the Warriors do have a lot of mistakes and states that they shouldn't have.
