On the second day, the players were doing recovery training sparsely. D'Antoni took his assistant coach Woodson from the office to the sidelines, clapped his hands and called the players to gather for lectures:

"Our previous goal was to hit the playoffs, but now we have so many good players, I think we can go further. For example, after the first round, we haven't made too many adjustments in terms of lineup. I just hope everyone It's getting better and better!"

"This is my fourth season in New York. We all hope to have a bright future. We must let other teams know that the Knicks are not a bad team, but a good team. This is our strong and confident team. source."

These words were quite encouraging, and even the disobedient Anthony nodded.

The current ranking situation is quite optimistic. If there is no accident, it should not be a big problem for the Knicks to reach the second round. First of all, they must have a good record.

On the 3rd, the Knicks ushered in the Bulls at home.

Judging from last season, the transition of the Bulls has been quite successful. Rose is the core of the team. On the offensive side, there are Luol Deng, Anti-Bone Boy and Korver on the outside. On the defensive side, Noah, Hamilton and others are the main players.

As the No. [-] pick in the same grade, Rose has had his own aura since entering the league, which is different from Li Muhua, who was undrafted.

Last season's injury affected some of Rose's state, but during the warm-up before the game, he didn't see any major problems. Rose even impromptuly dunked a goal, which caused many fans to cheer.

No way, New York is like this, no matter which team comes, it is possible to turn the guest into the main.

Rose became even more excited under the spotlight, and even reached out to greet the audience in the stands. The corners of Anthony's mouth twitched in anger.

When the players on both sides were warming up, Korver took the initiative to find Li Muhua. Since they met in the three-point shooting competition, the two had some exchanges. They are also three-point shooters, and they always have some common topics.

Korver is a good puzzle player, and every team that strives to win the championship wants to get him.

Just a player who stretches the floor, is it worth it?
Many people have discussed this topic.

For another example, Korver has a good defense, and now no one thinks it's worth it.

A player who has been standing softly on the outside for a long time, how good is his defense, Korver left such an impression on the fans.In fact, Korver did a good job in defending against pick-and-rolls, but single-defense is often overwhelmed. This is determined by his physical talent, and there is no way.

Li Muhua has a good impression of Korver, and he can talk to each other, and he also showed great enthusiasm when Korver walked over.

"Kyle, you have to be merciful, otherwise, once your touch comes up, we will probably lose. If you have time, let's practice outside shooting together!"

Li Muhua made a joke, and then extended an invitation to Korver.

Korver came up to shake hands directly, then nodded.

When the Bulls played pick-and-roll passes, Rose and Korver were two sharp knives. Thanks to the Bulls' tactical system, Korver also changed from a regular rotation player to the main force. Well, I don't seem to be very happy with the Bulls.

From the communication with teammates, it is not difficult to see that no one on the Bulls seems to hold Korver.

Korver seems to be used to it, basically chatting with Li Muhua.

Stoudemire likes to join in the fun. Seeing Li Muhua surrounded by two or three players, he wandered over to chat a few words.

In the end, Li Muhua reluctantly pushed Stoudemire back to the team.

It has to be said that Stoudemire is the pistachio of big names, always has self-deprecating attributes, and his personality is too flamboyant, but there is also an advantage, that is, the media's attention will be higher.

The game starts soon.

The Knicks played a strong singles ability.

But the Bulls are not bad either. The tactical system revolves around Rose, and the offense is well-organized and methodical.

There is nothing to say about the explosive power of Fengcheng Rose. When she speeds up and then directly breaks through, it is like entering the basket. Even Chandler has nothing to do. In the first quarter, Li Muhua was blown away by Rose, and he couldn't defend himself at all. .

Later, Shupet participated in the defense, which finally made Rose calm down.

In the second quarter, Wannian's substitute Jimmy Butler came up. What made people speechless was that he directly opened the score with three three-pointers. People who usually don't shoot three-pointers broke out completely today.

Is this eating a turtle or a turtle spirit?

The Knicks were dumbfounded.

At the end of the second quarter, the Knicks trailed by 10 points.

In the locker room, Li Muhua and Anthony communicated in low voices:

"Cameron, our defense in this game is still too bad. Once Derrick Rose enters the inside, we have nothing to do. The mid-range defense is the key point. I think if we shrink the defense, we must strangle Rose first!"

Anthony shook his head. The lax defense in this game was first of all the responsibility of him, the boss of the team.

Although Li Muhua said it very implicitly, Anthony knew what was going on in his heart.This really gave Li Muhua a good temper. If he was given another big card, he might start scolding directly. It doesn't matter if the outside line leaks into Ross, but the inside line can't be blocked. It's like a cash machine, allowing Ross to get whatever he wants.

Stoudemire was normal, Anthony's touch was terrible, the Bulls' defense was suffocating, and the Knicks showed extreme discomfort.

The Knicks' lineup was originally focused on offense. As for defense, Chandler was thrown in the paint. Defense was originally a weak point. Facing a team like the Bulls with both offense and defense, the players were still careless.

To increase the intensity of the game, Li Muhua and Anthony reached an agreement.

As for how to do it, there is no need to tell the German coach. Anyway, he is perfunctory in defense. After playing, Li Muhua held the ball and stretched out a clenched hand.

The teammates immediately understood.

Li Muhua meant to remind the team to slow down and compete with the Bulls. On the other hand, he started to shrink the formation and increase the defensive strength.

This method was taught by Woodson to the players, but some time ago, they were not facing strong defensive teams, so it was basically useless.

When confronted, the effect is immediate.

Rose's shots hit the iron continuously, and even Jimmy Butler, who was arrogant in the first half, made two turnovers, and the Bulls suddenly accelerated their offensive rhythm.

This is not the Bulls' strong point.

The Bulls stepped into the trap of the Knicks, and Rose increased the speed to break the ball, but shortened the round time.

Once the offensive and defensive transition becomes faster, it will inevitably bring about a decline in defensive status.

The Knicks began to chase points crazily.

With 2 minutes left in the last quarter, the Knicks overtook the score and played a small climax to completely seal the victory.
