329 Rick Bucks
"Knocked off again!" Watching Bogut fly back in the fog in Zhang Chen's charge, the audience no longer had the enthusiasm when they saw this kind of scene for the first time, but instead had a kind of customary applause, Zhang Chen still played the ball quite well, a series of actions were dizzying, and when he knocked down the opponent, he was completely crisp and neat, which made people breathless. And the dull slam dunk after Zhang Chen rushed to Bogut is completely an emotional channeling, as if all your feelings have disappeared with this dull slam dunk, and what remains is a sense of pleasure, a feeling of pleasure that cannot be taken away.
After Zhang Chen's aesthetic fatigue of countless flying opponents, the audience slowly became accustomed to Zhang Chen's slam dunk, because he was always so good, so good that people were accustomed to it.
After this slam dunk, Zhang Chen made the Bucks one step closer to the brink of collapse, and the shock of the slam dunk seemed to continue to echo in everyone's minds. The whole process was done in one go, Bogut looked at Zhang Chen with incredible eyes, he was really scared, in all the time that had just passed in this game, Zhang Chen either used a beautiful and chic shot, or used a flickering breakthrough to solve the offense, but this time he completely subverted the way of attack just now, after a dizzying breakthrough like lightning, he climbed to the highest peak in the inner line, and forced a slam dunk through him.
There was a force from his body that made him feel a dull pain, and Bogut got up from the ground, feeling the slightest pain in his chest.
The score gap further widened, the situation of the Bucks became worse and worse, and in the following time, Reed found that he had no power to turn the tide at all, and the Bucks were like a boat drifting with the tide in the sea, unable to find a direction, on the contrary, the Knicks' offense was a head and a tail, and the precision was terrifying.
In the Knicks' offensive frenzy, the Bucks stepped back.
"Eh, you still have to work hard!" Reed looked at the scoreboard and was worried, even though he knew that even if he was on the court now, he might not be able to bring any turnaround, but he was like a moth to a fire and didn't give up, so he let the Bucks take on more challenges in this way, and the Knicks' revenge is not a joke, and every offense can prove everything with a hearty ending.
Zhang Chen and Randolph have been completely powerful, the combination of the two of them inside and outside seems to be a set of combination punches, the combination of the inside and outside offense has become an invincible force, and the Bucks can only parry in such an attack, and there is no other way. Although Reed also carried out a series of counterattacks, it is a pity that this counterattack is a bit insignificant in the Knicks' offense and defense, they can't make any waves after all, and Reed's offense was finally completely strangled by the Knicks in defense and offense.
By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 74:50, and the Knicks beat their opponents by 24 points at home, which made the Bucks feel ashamed, so they were ready to launch a counterattack in the fourth quarter, but they also knew that their counterattack was probably not of much effect, at most they could add a fig leaf to their shame.
The Bucks' offense in the fourth quarter was like death, but unfortunately they were not able to achieve the miracle of the mourning victory, under the Knicks' always calm offense and defense, the Bucks' counterattack was completely wiped out, and in the end, the Knicks won a rare big victory at home 95-74, and the 21-point difference was almost their highest win margin this season. The game helped them regain the fifth-place spot and push the 76ers back into sixth.
The Knicks' record began to improve, and in the cheers of the audience, Zhang Chen and the others all walked off the court and slowly walked to the players' tunnel in the corner of the light.
In this game, the Knicks can be said to be in full bloom: Zhang Chen played 37 minutes throughout the game, scoring 35 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal, this data continues his usual high efficiency this season, behind this crazy data, is Zhang Chen's efficient performance. He averaged 38 points per game this season, a score that doesn't lie after all.
In addition to Zhang Chen's efficiency today, Randolph's strength is the strength of Randolph, he scored 16 points and 13 rebounds in the game, and the double-double result allowed him to contribute more strength to this game. His figure is often active in attack and defense, and he and David. Lee's defensive front has also become an offensive nightmare for some of the Bucks' players, and Randolph has also completed his own task of protecting rebounds and escorting the unbridled offense of other players.
Next up was David Lee, who finished with a quasi-double-double of 9 points and 7 rebounds. Lee isn't a good guy because his stats are often moving towards a double-double, and there are a lot of games where he gets his wish and gets a double-double. Lee also made a big contribution on the defensive end of the game and showed his value in protecting rebounds. Lee is still everyone's favorite big man.
Gallinari made four three-pointers in the game and scored a total of 15 points, which is also quite impressive, although all of his three-pointers came from teammates' assists, but it also shows his ability as a shooter. Gallinari's three-point shooting this season has been a sight to behold, as he averages 2.2 three-pointers per game and is able to maintain a three-point shooting percentage of around 39 percent, which has also brought him closer to a supershooter. Because of this, he and Zhang Chen were some people to become the Knicks' two musketeers - Zhang Chen averaged 4.7 three-pointers per game, a record result plus Gallinari's 2.2 three-pointers, two people are enough to support the Knicks' outside sky. In every game, the opponent must be prepared to be bombarded indiscriminately by Zhang Chen and Gallinari. After all, Zhang Chen's three-point shooting rate is more than 50%, which is the only one in the league who is undefeated in the East, and it is a peak that others can't reach.
The last of the main lineup is Duhon, Dujon scored a total of 4 points in this game, but he handed out 7 assists, his stats are more inclined to traditional point guards, he is the kind of point guard who does not make any big mistakes, but also does not pass imaginative passes, and everything is smooth in the water.
Therefore, the Knicks' main lineup scored 79 of the team's 95 points, of which Zhang Chen alone cut 1/3 of the team's scores, of course, this is a common thing for him.
On the other hand, the Bucks, today's results are a little embarrassing, although it is an away challenge, but the huge difference of 21 points has also become a shocking scar imprinted in their schedule, which is a completely aggressive shame, which makes the Bucks players a little unable to raise their heads after the game, especially the guy Reed, before the game he also said that he could suppress Zhang Chen, but the result was that Zhang Chen scored 35 points in the whole game, and he scored 19 points, What's more, his team trailed the Knicks by an insane 21 points, and Reed today can be said to be a big shame.
After this game, many stadium observers also really understood Zhang Chen's ability, and that invincible offensive ability made everyone feel an aggressive momentum. The game also gradually closed in everyone's attention, and after the game, Zhang Cen naturally accepted some interviews from reporters, among which a lot of questions were whether he could arrogantly say to Reed now that you are a bad person. It's a pity that Zhang Chen only smiled slightly, and he still replied with the words that he said rottenly: "I think the basketball matter should be solved on the court." ”
And this time, Wade and James had to sit on the other side of the computer and remain silent, because Zhang Chen's last time that the quarrel was just a woman's patent made them embarrassed, and now they naturally won't come to look for bad luck again. Because if they chirp with Zhang Chen again, will it be true that the so-called two of them are just women's remarks in Zhang Chen's mouth?
Therefore, the press conference after the defeat of the Bucks did not cause many waves, and many things were resolved in an ordinary way, Zhang Chen quickly returned to his residence and began to train the improvement of his defensive skills. He had already experienced the benefits of that defensive improvement in his last game.
"Guys! You did a great job last night, and there were many times when your opponent's offense was overwhelmed by your defense, and maybe you all saw the helpless expressions on the faces of the Bucks...... Yes, they're all annoyed, why can't they break through your defenses...... That's what we've been doing these days, and if we keep going, I'm sure we'll be one of the best defensive teams in the league. ”
"Good! Good! Good! "Everyone pandered to D'Antoni's words, and although they didn't usually like to hear D'Antoni chirp there, they all liked to hear D'Antoni praise their nonsense, for example, the current situation is what they liked.
"So, to celebrate the victory of this game...... D'Antoni deliberately sold a pass, and then Randolph quickly became happy: "In order to celebrate the victory of this game, you decided to give us a day off?" ”
"You think you're pretty beautiful...... D'Antoni gave him a blank look: "Actually, I'm going to say that in order to celebrate the victory of this game, today we extended the training for an hour to train our defense. ”
"**......" Randolph cursed, and everyone complained, and finally Randolph stood up again: "Hey, boss, it's not fair, it only increases our training after we win...... If this continues, we won't dare to win! ”
D'Antoni said with a smile: "In fact, everyone should be able to appreciate the changes that defensive training has brought to you and the changes brought to our entire team, so I think this is just a good proposal, and it is not worth refuting. ”
There is still some truth in what D'Antoni said, but most of us are obsessed with the holiday, especially the old and cunning Eddie Curry, the corners of his mouth slightly revealed a silver smile, probably planning to use some method to ask for leave. So only Zhang Chen praised this decision: "Boss, you're right, we have experienced the benefits of this kind of defensive training, and now I think I have better defensive cooperation with everyone, so it is not difficult to practice for an hour!" This is a good thing, it helps to improve our overall strength! ”
Zhang Chen's words were soon despised by everyone, and Randolph directly said his contempt: "Who doesn't know? You're going to have to practice for at least four hours a day, especially after Avril is gone, and you're going to have to practice for at least six hours a day...... Aren't you just looking for someone to train with? ”
Zhang Chen was a little overwhelmed by the words, but he still actively saved his face: "DCUP, you can't talk nonsense, I think everyone knows that I'm just trying to make progress together, right?" ”
"Cut!" He was greeted by a neat row of middle fingers.
However, in the end, everyone could only unite around D'Antoni and extend the training time by an hour under the pressure of D'Antoni's silver power.
"Hmm...... That's it...... Chen, your position is too aggressive, recycle a little...... DCIP, are you waiting for the basket? I have to remind you that what you should be doing now is to wipe out the attackers there! …… Eh, David, you're in the wrong place! D'Antoni and a group of key trainers were soon running around and directing the big guys on the pitch to work on overall defensive tactics.
Their defensive training is divided into two different parts, the first is the defensive training of individual ability, which usually varies from person to person, such as a player like Zhang Chen, in the eyes of everyone, his defensive skills have been infinitely high - he plays those defensive skills to the fullest. In fact, Randolph's basketball IQ is still quite good, and his comprehension is also very strong, and his comprehension of defensive skills is naturally not a problem, but this person always has a lazy attitude, and hopes to use his own defense to imprison the opponent when defending - his eyes are also based on the defender's statement.
Therefore, the defensive skills of individual combat are treated differently, and it is often Randolph who is on this side by the main trainers to open a small stove, while Zhang Chen is on the other side, and D'Antoni is on the other side, and D'Antoni has set up a passing obstacle for him here, allowing him to practice his passing skills here. D'Antoni can't wait to develop Zhang Chen into a tall passer.
In fact, Zhang Chen's passing talent is really not very good, and it is estimated that the real improvement of his passing skills can only wait until he practices in the learning space.
So, it's a common occurrence in the Knicks' gym -- Randolph is here battling the main trainers -- "Hey, I said you guys came here to fix me?" I think I've done pretty well...... But you still have to demand that my movements are completely in place, which is simply disrespectful to me! I ask you to treat me truly as I am! ”
"That's what suits your treatment...... Mr. Eye Defender! The trainers were unceremonious, and Randolph had to be obedient again, beating his chest on the court, tucking his waist and legs, and practicing his defensive skills. On the other side of the court, Zhang Chen is also discussing passing skills with D'Antoni.
D'Antoni left Zhang Chen a lot of big circles on the wall, so that Zhang Chen, with the help of the staff, threw the basketball to the wall just right, so that the basketball smashed directly in the center of the circle impartially, this kind of thing has a very high accuracy for passing, originally Zhang Chen also wanted to opportunistically use his shooting skills to throw these baskets into the basket, but D'Antoni soon discovered Zhang Chen's small movements, so Zhang Chen had to practice solidly.
"Hey, wrong again...... When exactly will you be able to hit that circle? When?! ......" D'Antoni's voice was a little angry.
"Damn, but I can't help it, I find that neither the basketball nor the right hand listen to me...... This is a disaster. Zhang Chen tried his best to defend, but unfortunately D'Antoni did not intend to listen to his defense: "I don't care about your reasons, I'll leave for a while, and when I come back, I hope to see you hit fifty circles in one minute." ”
"Hey...... Come back, Chief...... Isn't this difficult for a strong man? ”
D'Antoni ignored Zhang Chen and walked away.
………… The Knicks' training hall is full of such an atmosphere, everyone is training hotly, and now the Knicks' training atmosphere is still quite good - first of all, because their team has a paranoid Zhang Chen, this is a pervert who has been practicing frantically all day, and under the spur of Zhang Chen's example, others have more or less increased their training volume.
Another reason is that D'Antoni is more strict in governing the army, and he is still basically able to make all players follow his orders, so under his silver power, the Knicks' training is still quite active.
This last reason is that this season's Knicks have a new look, injecting young vitality into the roster - Zhang Chen, Gallinari, and David Lee not only lowered the average age of the Knicks, but also brought new vitality to the Knicks.
And their record is also quite good, which is completely different from the Knicks last season, so for these reasons, the Knicks' training is still in full swing.
Of course, this kind of training has also brought about the continuous improvement of the Knicks' overall strength.
