Chapter 100 vs. Magic (2)

The Knicks are three points behind, and now the rotation has slowly begun, and Liang Xiao was called to his side by Van Gundy. The current lineup is not capable of defeating the Magic for the Knicks, it can only be said that it is half a catty against eight taels, and after a few games, the Knicks will not have the momentum of the more vigorous games since the start of the game. In the first few games, the Knicks were able to determine the lead early in the first quarter, even if it was not a big score, but at the beginning of these two games, the Knicks' state was back on track.

Liang Xiao walked to the technical table and waited for the dead ball, and now the lineup on the magic field is still the starter, and it is back to the beginning under the rotation.

With a piercing "tick" sound, Liang Xiao came on the field. The sound of this rotation is like a train entering the station, Liang Xiao's small train began to enter the station, replaced by point guard Ward, played for less than two minutes, and the Knicks' lineup became Anderson, Houston, and Liang Xiao, and the inside line did not change.

Seeing that he was opposite Maddie, Liang Xiao couldn't help but feel a sudden in his heart, such a feeling was that he had never appeared when he began to face Iverson of the 76ers, and now there was such a feeling, Liang Xiao couldn't help but ask in his heart what his situation was now.

Knicks ball possession, Houston as an overlapping position with Liang Xiao, but now Houston holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt, which can better ensure that the Knicks' ball is in hand, although there is nothing worth paying attention to against the Magic, it is not the same as a mortal enemy like the Heat, but it is still a little reluctant to hand over to Liang Xiao, first of all, Liang Xiao is a rookie, and secondly, Liang Xiao is still not as skilled as Houston in organizing some tactics.

Liang Xiao began to run constantly after he arrived in the front court, defending himself is the Knicks' point guard Armstrong, a player who has not been drafted like Liang Xiao, with a height of 185cm, ten centimeters shorter than Liang Xiao, which has a certain advantage for Liang Xiao, plus Liang Xiao just played, and the physical trainer did not consume at all.

Houston faced Maddy's breakthrough, did not receive good results, directly hoisted the ball to Harrington on the inside, and defended Harrington by the rain man Sean Kemp, the superstar who used to be in Seattle, scored like raindrops on the basket every game, although the state is declining, the body is getting older, but it has not yet reached the point of dying, facing Harrington's ball, the defensive awareness is very in place. Harrington turned his back to Kemp and tried twice to no avail, giving Anderson on the perimeter and pulling himself out of the paint area, Kemp didn't follow up in time, and Harrington caught the ball and hit a mid-range shot.

In the next game, the Knicks continued to use the inside line to attack unfamiliar positions, but what they didn't expect was that the outside line of the Magic also continued to cause trouble for the Knicks.

Thomas couldn't do anything about it in the face of McMiller, a 22-year-old small forward, who told others to be more flexible. McMiller is the best rookie in 2001, this best rookie is really a bit valuable, in fact, the Magic's starting point is a big four small without restraint, which makes the Magic's outside line easy to get, otherwise the Magic will not send a big four small lineup, not a big forward, in fact, head coach Rivers knows where the advantages of the Magic lie.

After a few rounds, Liang Xiao only made one shot and never got the ball again, the Knicks' interior line is the main battlefield, and McMiller is both an advantage and a disadvantage to face Thomas, and if the outside line is there, the inside line will definitely be strangled to death.

"Now the Knicks' lineup has to be changed, it's not a way to play like this, only to use their own strengths to the shortcomings of others is the king, but both teams seem to only see their own strengths, not their weaknesses, but the Magic wants to contribute on the outside, and they don't have any decent roles on the inside." Yang Yi looked at the Knicks and always couldn't find any good solutions on the outside, "Maddie is more than enough for Houston, after all, the physical age is there, Hill vs. Anderson can be described as half a catty, if Hill is not injured, his current state is definitely not something Anderson can compare, Liang Xiao's game is like sleepwalking, and he can't find a feeling at all." ”

"Yang Yi, what is the situation of Liang Xiao's game, he played for two minutes before he got a chance to shoot, and then there were no two assists on the inside, and there was no enthusiasm in the previous games, was it that the airport in front of him played too smoothly?" The host kept in mind that the purpose of this game was to let the fans see the Chinese players, but now Liang Xiao is playing like he is asleep.

"This game may really be as it was seen at the beginning, Liang Xiao doesn't seem to be relieved!"

"Does that mean that Liang Xiao has encountered the so-called 'rookie wall', it seems that many players have encountered such a situation, Yang Yi, it is necessary for everyone to talk about the problem of the 'rookie wall'."

"'Rookie wall' is when the newcomer plays in the league, there are certain changes in psychology or body, and there is no consistent performance, as if an invisible wall is in front of him, this situation can be said to be a situation that many players will encounter in their rookie season, and many rookies have appeared like this, it depends on whether Liang Xiao can break his bottleneck in his heart, if during this period of time, Liang Xiao can continue to perform as always, even if the data is a little unclear, it doesn't matter, even if there is'Rookie Wall', the past will make another world. "Yang Yi explained the 'rookie wall', and he also continued to interpret Liang Xiao's current performance, it seems that Liang Xiao is running into problems now.

Van Gundy looked at the situation on the field, his brows were tightly wrinkled, constantly jotting down something on his paper, thinking about how to solve it, and shouting a few times on the field from time to time, wanting to rely on his own reminders to let the players play to their strengths.

After two rounds, with 2:09 left on the clock, Van Gundy's shouting didn't do much, it was time to call a timeout, make a gesture to the referee, and call the players down.

"Now that it's timeout, it seems that Van Gundy is not satisfied, this kind of performance can't open the situation at all, 27-23, four points behind, Van Gundy is also a little anxious." Yang Yi said after seeing Van Gundy pause. It seems that he is not very optimistic that the Knicks will win today.

On the Knicks' bench, Van Gundy kept shouting to his players. "Liang, what's the matter with you, today's performance is not in shape at all, you should take a rest first." Van Gundy's words ended Liang Xiao's first quarter, which Liang Xiao ended so early in these games, and the first few games were all played in the last few minutes. But there was no way, Liang Xiao also knew that he was not satisfied with his performance, but Liang Xiao began to run constantly from the beginning of the game, wanting to get a vacant opportunity to shoot, but he just couldn't wait for that opportunity.

Liang Xiao could only look depressedly at Van Gundy explaining to others the next idea of playing, Sprewell patted Liang Xiao's shoulder beside him, didn't say anything, it's useless to say anything now, this move is the best support.

"Zuo Qiang, now that your buddy is resting, this game is really not good!" A fat man next to him said to Zuo Qiang, with a sour taste, he was usually abused by Zuo Qiang on the court.

"What kind of awareness, can you guarantee that every NBA player can perform well in every game, now it's just one game, I believe Liang Xiao will change, what do you want to worry about!" Zuo Qiang was also anxious to watch Liang Xiao's game, he didn't expect Liang Xiao's performance to be like this today, but how could his brother tell others.

"Okay, okay, let's not say a word, although Liang Xiao is a little unsatisfactory now, his performance is obvious to all, and the first few games are very good." A classmate was playing a round with Zuo Qiang.

In the next game, Liang Xiao could only watch Sprewell and Anderson combine into a large and four small lineup against the Magic, although this is a bit of a passive change of formation, but this is also a relatively strong lineup of the Knicks, and no one can ignore their strength.
