Chapter 208: Decadent Auburn Hills

The Knicks, who are about to rain and rain, during the three-day break, everyone is listless, even the team's boss Houston now has no spirit like before, and the whole team is now like a machine, so inertia, although Van Gundy still cheered every player during the training period, but the effect received was not obvious,

When it comes to the reorganization of the Knicks, it must be carried out after Ewing, after Ewing was injured and could not play, the Knicks' record has been greatly affected, in the previous life, the Knicks were like lambs waiting to die in the league to endure the bullying of other teams, and after Ewing officially retired in the 03-04 season, the Knicks were reorganizing step by step, and now this situation is happening, just because of the factor of Liang Xiao, the Knicks' record is constantly changing, The Nix is going to further make adjustments in the footsteps of business, which is the idea of businessmen valuing profit over separation.

Liang Xiao is still training as always, the Knicks have a deep emotion for him, but when it comes to players like Houston, a lifetime of youth has been dedicated to the Knicks, and now it is difficult to let go of it at this point, and the same is true of other players of the Knicks, even a player like Sprewell, who was hit hard by the Warriors in the past, and the Knicks gave him new hope, and now he can't easily say go, because there are emotions, So even if it's business, it always seems like that, you can't say goodbye lightly,

The three-day rest period passed quickly, time will not give people wait, the Knicks challenged the Pistons on the road, the Pistons are also very good this season, in the previous life, because of the Pacers' anticlimactic season, at the end of the time into the first place in the East, and finally lost to the Nets in the Eastern Conference finals, after some self-redemption, in the next season burst out of new brilliance, under the leadership of Larry Brown, there are excellent players like Chauncey and Hamilton, defeated the four-star Lakers to get a championship,

The Knicks' players did not linger in Detroit at night and bustling, on the 17th of January, they came to the home court of the Pistons, Auburn Hills Palace Arena, the only arena in the United States that is not in the city, and now it seems not at all peaceful, I don't know if it is the atmosphere of the scene or the inner hesitation, the Knicks players are preparing their pre-game everything in the locker room, Liang Xiao looked at the locker room exuding a dull atmosphere, as a person who has only been to the Knicks for a short time, even if it is a person who has always been domineering and leaking, It's hard to talk now,

Compared with the dull atmosphere of the Knicks' locker room, Auburn Hills fans don't feel any different today at all, and this game is still being broadcast on Channel 5, no one will care about whether the current situation of the Knicks is very bad, maybe the only concern is from the Knicks themselves, whether they will continue to live like this on this team,

"Imperial Court Channel 5, now the live broadcast here is the Knicks' game against the Pistons on the road, today's game is a period of recovery for the Knicks after four consecutive defeats, today is the away challenge, let's see if the Knicks have really found themselves from the previous state, and we will explain this game with Coach Zhang to everyone." The host of the five sets of the court made an opening remark before the game,

"The Knicks have had some difficulties during this time, and I don't know if the Knicks will be able to get through it." Director Zhang also understands the current situation of the Knicks, "After Liang Xiao landed on the Knicks, the Knicks' record has been very good, and now it is rumored that the Knicks are going to make drastic changes. ”

"Yes, we are all worried about the Knicks game, and we are also worried about Liang Xiao, now that we are in good shape with the Knicks, we are now facing changes in the team's personnel, and I don't know if there will be any unfavorable aspects for Liang Xiaolai."

"I think in this game, the Knicks will definitely be greatly affected, but Liang Xiao will definitely not be kicked out by the Knicks like this, now Liang Xiao is a cheap player, I think the Knicks still have a vision."

"Okay, now the game has officially begun, the starting lineup at home is center Crawford Robinson, the big forward position Big Ben Wallace, the small front is Michael Carry, the quarterback is Richard Hamilton, the point guard Chancey Billups, there is the best sixth man winner Chris Williams on the bench, Auburn Hill's lineup is still very strong, let's see if the Knicks' main starters are still five starters, Liang Xiao is still in the role of the sixth man, When it comes to Liang Xiao's strength as a sixth man, he is much stronger than Chris Williams, who averages 12 points per game. 4.4 rebounds plus 1.6 assists, Liang Xiao is much stronger, more than 17 points, plus nearly 6 assists per game, the rebounds are less than one, in the competition for the best sixth man of the year, Liang Xiao's advantage is still very obvious, now Liang Xiao has the opportunity to participate in the All-Star weekend, as the sixth man, I really don't know what to make the players of other teams think, okay, now don't talk about the rest, look at the performance of the Knicks in this game. ”

As the referee threw the ball into the air, Pistons center Robinson took the lead to shoot the ball to the backcourt, the Knicks' players were obviously not in shape, and soon the Knicks showed it, after Billups scored the first goal, Houston made the first shot for the Knicks, but the overall state of the Knicks was very bad, Houston's first shot was good at the mid-range shot, and the defensive Hamilton did not play his defense to the point where the mid-range shot king was discouraged, but Houston still missed, Big Ben on the inside directly squeezed Thomas away and grabbed the rebound.

Billups fast attack, Hamilton feinted on the outside, Houston and Easley followed up in time, but Easley faced Chauncey, who is now in full swing, and didn't have much capital at all, Chaunsey was under an emergency stop on the outside, and the three-point shot hit steadily, Auburn Hills burst into warm applause, Van Gundy had nothing to do off the court, and he also knew that the Knicks' senior management had a great impact on these players, and he could only shout at the players on the sidelines to strengthen his defense,

Van Gundy's efforts off the court could not be exchanged for the Knicks players scoring on the court, and when the game played two and a half minutes, he had to take a timeout, because if he didn't pause, the game would be lost like this, a 7-0 start, and the Knicks players seemed to be sleepwalking.

"Liang, you play, I want more firepower from you." When the player left the field, Van Gundy walked up to Liang Xiao and said,

"Hey, guys, now I want you to cheer up, now the only thing we have to do is score, we can't think about anything else, I'm sure you're going to get what you want, okay, I'm optimistic about you, go up and give the Pistons a good meal." When he was about to play, Van Gundy cheered up the Knicks players,

Liang Xiao replaced Easley off the court, in the point guard position, the Knicks' Easley can't be compared with Chauncey now, "Now it seems that the Knicks have been greatly affected, the 7-0 start, it hasn't appeared in the Knicks for a long time, I think someone has to stand up to change this situation in order to make the Knicks change." Director Zhang said in a timely manner, seeing Liang Xiao on the field, looking forward to this change starting from here,

"Hey, guys, cheer up." Liang Xiao opened his hand and said, Thomas's serve immediately advanced, under a block in the front court, Liang Xiao hit a mid-range shot, Thomas blocked Billups aside, the Pistons player on the inside did not follow, this ball made the Knicks open the scoring, the players on the bench stood up and applauded, although the players on the bench may not be much in the Knicks' lineup changes, but this kind of team needs you to make your own appearance,

The next Chauncy dribble, Liang Xiao defended closely, not letting the opponent have a chance, Chaunxi has a big heart, and his usual scoring ability may not be very strong, but he always gives the opponent a blow at a critical moment, Liang Xiao took a fancy to Chaunxi's one-on-one ability is not very strong, always pressing, so that Chaunxi is always in a hurry, in this case, the Piston's hit came down,

Liang Xiao is not restricting Chauncy alone, the Pistons' dependence on Chauncy is very large, because Hamilton is not the kind of player who is mainly breakthrough, and he uses his own running position and speed more often than not, just like a cannon that needs Chauncey's cannonballs.

Liang Xiao, who worked the court, formed a strong contrast with the other players of the Knicks, although Liang Xiao was very serious about blocking the power of the Pistons, but the Knicks were not launched by Liang Xiao alone, and the opponent could not be stopped by one person, although the effect of Liang Xiao was out, the Pistons' score was reduced, but the score was still maintained at a five-point gap, the Knicks' double guns were always in a state of dumb fire, and the madman Sprewell broke through the ball in this game obviously without the previous deterrent. Speed and meaning can't be unified at all.,Although Houston will maintain a certain hit.,But it's also a decline in state.,Not to mention the inside line.,It's not comparable to the inside line with Big Ben.,

"It's difficult for the Knicks right now, you see Van Gundy scratching his head on the sidelines, and now this situation is not something he can solve, it depends on the actions of the players." Director Zhang looked at Van Gundy's expression and was very distressed,

"Liang Xiao's performance is very good, and now the score has reached 7 points, but the other players have not improved."

"That's right, now the Knicks are a decadent bunch, decadent in Auburn Hills, there must be a price, and now the first quarter is about to end, and then I don't know what Van Gundy will do."
