Chapter 124 The strongest foreign aid

The three said that the session also started training, and these days rumors are rife, the team is panicking, especially after being defeated by the Hornets, the players' mental state is a little sluggish, and the media has revealed that the Knicks are preparing for a big change, and many players on the team will be traded, and there are new trade versions every day.

It is very difficult for such morale to win before a tough battle.

D'Antoni's spirit is not good, and his anger, sadness and disappointment are simply indescribable when the team is in a good situation and the playoffs are in good shape, but the team is threatened with injuries.

He didn't take it seriously after one or two defeats, it's normal for the team to have a bit of ups and downs in a season, and Harrington's injury is not too serious, so he returned in March, and he believes the team will soon be able to adjust and continue to make great strides.

However, there is indeed a problem with the team's lineup, although the trade player was negotiated when he came to the Knicks, this is Walsh's right, D'Antoni is not like a coach like Pat Riley can 100% manipulate the team's trade, however, it is completely okay to make suggestions, Walsh is not Thomas, and the trade is not bad in the NBA, as long as it is reasonable, D'Antoni's proposal will definitely pass.

The training session was conducted under the direction of assistant coach Atkinson, and D'Antoni sat on the sidelines in contemplation until the end of the morning practice before D'Antoni called the players together for the last pre-game remark.

"In the afternoon, we're going to play the Jazz, and I don't know how important this game is, it's not just a matter of winning or losing a game, once we lose, our momentum is completely reversed, and for the next team, they will have the confidence to pull us down.

A lot of things have happened in the team recently, I don't want to pretend that I don't know anything, and I don't want to deceive everyone, the team's lineup does have problems, and the transaction is inevitable, but no matter which team you go to, the foundation is strength, you don't have to think about other problems, play well, and it's good everywhere.

D'Antoni said that the Knicks' main players and bench applauded at the same time, which is indeed realistic, but also sincere.

D'Antoni nodded in satisfaction. Road:

"So, playing is what we should do, and to be honest, whether it's a trade or not, playing well is the best option for us, and besides, the Jazz have also been mired in trade rumors but are they poor? I hope that everyone can focus on the game instead of on something that is inconsequential and uncontrollable, and everyone doesn't want to lose in a row, so we have to win this game today. I'm sure of all of you. ”

D'Antoni's honest speech convinced the players and everyone gave him a round of applause, which is what a good coach can do, he can boost the morale of the team in an adverse environment and get the players to unite and fight for the goal.

The Knicks' opponent Jazz is the Western powerhouse in recent years, at the end of the 08-09 season, the Jazz faced a falling apart, everyone thought they would see a new Jazz team, but they were a little magical to keep all the main players, last season because of injuries and other reasons they failed to achieve good results, this season is the Jazz team for their own name.

As long as Sloan exists, the Jazz will remain that iron-blooded team, and Sloan, who has been the coach of Utah for nearly 22 years, has won more than 1,000 games, and after the Malone and Stockton eras, he has created a new Jazz that is capable of making the playoffs, but the championship still seems far away. Sloan was inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer, and what is missing for the legendary coach is a championship.

Sloan's team has never lacked attacking power, they have big shooters Oku, Delon, and Korver on the outside, while the tough guys on the inside always grit their teeth and bayonet and rush to the basket like red, and the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics have been perfected here, and it is difficult for anyone to limit them, this iron-blooded team can still average 103.6 points per game last season, ranking seventh in the league even after suffering serious injuries. …,

The iron-blooded Jazz are an opponent that no team wants to face, even if they did not perform well last season, they cannot be ignored this season, especially since the main lineup has been retained, which is a very strong opponent for the Knicks.

In addition, D'Antoni emphasized that against the Jazz, off-court factors should also be considered, such as this is the "Devil's Home" energy solution arena.

As D'Antoni thought before the game, referee Ferdinand had a lot of experience in off-the-beaten-track biases, and he often whistled for Jazz fouls in inconsequential areas, but he basically chose to ignore them when it mattered, and he mostly gave the ball to the Jazz in some ambiguities.

This tendency of the referee can deceive the fans but not the players and coaches, and the Jazz have received such treatment at home to affect the emotions of the Knicks' players to a certain extent.

But this is in the hands of the Jazz, they just want to make the game chaotic and violent, become fragmented, although they don't know what the referee will favor them, but they can quickly make full use of this bias, there are a lot of hidden small movements, such as when the opponent breaks through, secretly pull with his hand, elbow the opponent in the paint area, and the opponent knees against the opponent's leg when he takes the ball with his back.

These actions are not very harmful, but they are chicken thieves. can disrupt the opponent's attack very well, and make the opponent's anger surge but there is nothing to be done.

The game has just played six minutes, and the score is still in single digits, but referee Rio Ferdinand has blown 17 fouls, the Knicks 12, and the Jazz 5.

Suddenly, D'Antoni rushed out of the coach's box, he roared angrily to the court, it turned out that Li Feng suddenly wandered from the bottom line to the top of the arc, attracting multiple defenders and sending a clever diagonal pass to Corey, but at the moment when Li Feng passed the ball, he was pulled behind by Boozer.

According to the principle of favoring the attack, Ferdinand should not blow the foul for the ball first, and wait for Corey to complete the attack before giving Boozer a foul. But Ferdinand just stopped the game, gave Boozer a foul, and warned Boozer, this seemingly fair and rule-based penalty is exactly unfair to the Knicks, because Corey has relied on Oku on the inside, and his lethality under the basket goes without saying, fools know which one is more advantageous, no wonder D'Antoni is very angry.

Assistant coach Atkinson was worried that D'Antoni would be ejected from the game by the biased referee and hurried over to hold him back.

"Forget it, he's determined to blow the whistle. We still have the upper hand, and Li Feng will find an opportunity to attack. ”

"He's taking us for fools."

D'Antoni said indignantly, and then said:

"I'm on the surface, old man, at the home of the Jazz, if you don't protest, they'll be more disgusting!"

On the court, Li Feng also protested to referee Ferdinand, signaling that he remembered that there was a rule that the offense was advantageous, but Ferdinand asked Li Feng to hurry up and send the off-court ball without smiling, so as not to delay time.

Li Feng shook his head and said to Hughes, who came off the bench for Harrington:

"Could it be that this guy is a Jazz fan?"

Hughes smiled wryly:

"This is a jazz tradition, it's normal for the whistle to be a little off, rest assured that he won't be too blatant."

Li Feng said, "

"It's such a good tradition, it's just a 6-5, and the referee of the Jazz game is the strongest foreign aid!"
