Chapter 113: Nicks' Reflections
**Vicky's sudden departure made both sides a little flustered, and there was a phenomenon of iron on both sides of the field. No matter how old and spicy the Spurs are, there will be some subtle changes in psychology without a coach.
This change is first and foremost reflected in the momentum of the attack.
The Spurs organized an offense, and Ginobili held the ball near the bottom corner of the right side to prepare for the attack, but the Knicks had already sealed the route of the demon knife breakthrough, and seeing that he could not break through, Ginobili immediately changed his strategy, and he made a ground-hitting pass and handed the ball to Duncan on the inside.
At this time, Duncan seemed a little anxious, he turned and rushed to the basket directly after receiving the ball, and prepared a split dunk with one hand, but he didn't expect Xiao Si to be faster.
Duncan had just jumped, and Xiao Si arrived with a horse, flew in the air, and fanned Duncan's dunk with his arms.
The audience even heard a "hissing" inhalation. Appalling.
When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, the guys didn't seem willing to save face for the Spurs.
Melon broke through with a quick dribble on the left side, and after hitting the basket, he was quickly defended by Duncan, blocking Cameron's offensive lane.
Anthony had Duncan in front of him and Parker in front of him, but he didn't panic, and with a clever pass to the ground, he knocked the ball to Xiao Si in the middle, and Xiao Si successfully received the ball.
At this time, Duncan had lost his defensive position, and Xiao Si was not polite, and after pulling it up, he made a beautiful dunk across Duncan, which made the old Duncan shake his head and sigh helplessly.
"Stoudemire! The little overlord is back! This is Wang Xiaomu's biggest gain! The Knicks' current roster is too strong. The greatness of Coach Wang Xiaomu lies in the fighting spirit and state of all the players. You must know that the Knicks have also changed a lot of head coaches. But none of them could crumple the Knicks. Today, Wang Xiaomu did it. Great manager! Great Nicks! "The New York Sports Station chanted: The Knicks Dynasty is coming!
Thankfully, the third quarter ended after a few rounds. Spurs don't lose even more.
After three quarters, New York led 125-103. San Antonio is largely powerless.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Spurs' backup coach looked even more helpless in the face of the Knicks' stormy attack.
Just four minutes into the opening period, the Spurs replaced their entire starting lineup, leaving Ginobili alone with the bench to spend time.
Wang Xiaomu saw that the overall situation had been decided, and he basically replaced the main force, leaving one Paul George to support the scene, not that this kid was unwilling to rest, mainly to brush up the data.
In the first three quarters alone, George scored 37 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Among them, the three-point shot was 9 of 9 shots. In the last 27 years since the league had this record, 9-of-9 shooting is the highest three-point shooting record.
Back on Feb. 5, 2003, Larry Sprewell made 9 of 9 three-pointers from three-point range in a game between the Knicks and the Clippers. Then, on April 5, 2006, when Gordon played for the Chicago Bulls, Gordon made 9 of 9 three-pointers and had five assists in the Bulls' game against the Wizards. On March 22, 2012, Gordon tied the league's record for the highest three-point shooting in the league with a 9-of-9 three-point shooting in the Pistons' away game against the Denver Nuggets.
In the bench battle, the Spurs still failed to taste the sweetness.
Ginobili, who got the opportunity to attack, dribbled through the middle and was blocked by the opponent, but the Argentine snake still protected the ball, seeing that Blair on the right side had a gap, Ginobili made a beautiful pass and handed the ball to Blair, who pulled up after receiving the ball and was ready to dunk, but Paul George suddenly came out from behind, a beautiful big hat, and pressed Blair's dunk directly, although Blair won the ball and scored twice, but George's block still won the cheers of Knicks fans.
"I didn't expect it to be a one-sided game! The Knicks all turned into sprinters today, taking advantage of their speed advantage to the fullest. I don't know if ** Vicky really couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to apply to leave. In short, Wang Xiaomu added another win streak to his winning streak. "It's not over yet, but the San Antonio rout is a foregone conclusion.
In the end, the Knicks relied on the team's long play to beat the San Antonio Spurs 161-134. The top scorer for both teams was Paul George, who scored 49 points and had a big double-double with 15 rebounds. Due to his super-standard performance, the Knicks' main team got a lot of rest, which saved them a lot of trouble for their next game.
In an interview with the media after the game, head coach Wang Xiaomu modestly said that the Spurs are a great team, this is just an ordinary regular season, and if it reaches the playoffs, I believe both teams will achieve good results.
The Knicks' 161 points surpassed the 1959 franchise record, when they were already complacent with 152 points.
"It was a great game and I'm proud to play for the Knicks. You know, the Nuggets are a high-scoring team, and I've played a lot of 160+ games there, but it's even better with the Knicks. In the post-match interview, Melon said he was proud of the team.
"It's a very important choice to drive now. Here I have new teammates and more playing time. Mr. Wang Xiaomu is as great as Larry Bird, and I learned a lot from them! "The game's leading scorer, Paul George, was also a perfect scorer when answering transfer questions.
The next day, the New York Times even praised Knicks head coach Wang Xiaomu with the title of "Comparable to Big Bird".
It's a pity that Wang Xiaomu looks awkward with the newspaper. What does it mean to be "comparable" to "Big Bird"? Do they know my lengths and sizes?
What made Wang Xiaomu a little uneasy was, what was going on with his assessment? Mysterious text messages, mysterious content, there must be a person who is by his side and he does not find out. This made Wang Xiaomu very awkward.
"Master, why don't I help you keep an eye on some strangers?" Lin Yu'er is living a good life in the immortal stone, many parts of her body have been slowly materialized, and I believe that one day in the near future, she will definitely be able to transform into a Chengren type.
"It's just you, not that you can't find it, but that you can't find it. Then it became a meat bun and a dog. Wang Xiaomu smiled, his own teacher is a ghost. If you don't provoke honestly, you may be wiped out.
The other party did not take the initiative to contact Wang Xiaomu, and Coach Wang couldn't wait.
With two days to go for the game against Milwaukee, the Knicks spent half a day in San Antonio before boarding a plane to Milwaukee that afternoon.
After arriving at the hotel, Wang Xiaomu held an internal meeting of the coaching staff.
"We didn't just win this game. Without a champion fight, we struggled defensively. So the next step is to build a defensive front with Chandler as the main player. He has to be the heart of the team's defense to tie the team's defense together. Wang Xiaomu first mentioned the team's defense, this kind of desperate Saburo does not want to play must have a super high hit rate guarantee, and it is impossible to maintain such a high-intensity game for a long time.
The crowd nodded in goodness.
Woodson saw it more clearly than Wang Xiaomu, and reminded euphemistically: "Every team can't be monolithic, players will form several small circles, and the first thing that determines the formation of the circle is everyone's position and time to hold the ball, such as Alma and Chandler, such as Anthony and Jeremy Lin, which are all contradictions." Chandler doesn't look like a champion, but also suffered all the way to get to where he is today, all kinds of abandoned and dumped, including being abandoned by the Mavericks this year and his brother-in-law's old substitute background, Novak, Fields and Lin, are also from small people, these people don't have a superstar mentality, they just worked hard all the way, and they have a sense of closeness. In addition, everyone plays team basketball, and they have to cooperate with each other to be brilliant, so they naturally have a good relationship and rely on each other. ”
Wang Xiaomu nodded and motioned for Lao Wu to continue.
Woodson worded and continued: "Cameron is different, although Chandler was a high draft pick (No. 2) that year, but his development was quite unsmooth. Melon 3 drafts, played an amazing performance in the rookie season, and is the best rookie, 03 James itself is awesome, plus various stars in the Nuggets, the Olympics are super flashy, and the New York boss hires him heavily, and the sense of superiority must be strong. ”
"And what about Stoudemire's problem?" Wang Xiaomu suddenly discovered a very huge problem, as a cultivator, he would easily treat players as virtual characters in the game who do not eat the fireworks of the world. You know, to each specific player, they're real people, and playing is just their job, and they're going to make money/make a living/support family/have fun with that job, so they can't afford not to think about their stats and their performance opportunities.
"Hehe, since Coach Woodson has analyzed the first two, it is better for Xiaomei to talk about Amal's state." Gao Yuanyuan laughed, and said with beautiful eyes:
"Xiao Si, now I have a feeling that the phoenix has fallen off the shelf, and the status and mentality are embarrassing. Cameron is going to be the boss when he comes, and the original boss position of the little overlord can only be obediently offered. That's it, coupled with the fact that he had the ball on the melon field before, Xiao Si was naturally dissatisfied. It's just that Xiao Si is a person who has been a big star after all, and he was also a very smooth person in the first few years, so it is difficult for you to let him integrate into the camp without a frame like Chandler. As for him, although he is like a wandering spirit on the field, but to put it bluntly, he is still young now, the rapids retreat too early, and he is too tired after running, so he is good and bad, and he is a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day. In fact, he also wants to play better, maintain his reputation and main position, and keep up with the rhythm of team basketball, which is much better than being the second-in-command under Melon and watching the face of a superstar. ”
