NBA super point guard

Li Muhua prefers to cooperate with Shu Pete.

He has a positive defensive attitude, the only downside is that he suppresses his desire to attack.

Regardless of physical talent or shooting skills, they are considered to be at the middle level of the league. If it is used as the main force, for now, the Knicks really don't expect too much from Shupeter.

But if the players show all their energy, the state is completely different.

On the defensive end, Shupet often faces arrow players, either point guards or combo guards, which can greatly limit opponents and save the physical strength of teammates.

It's not accurate to say blue collar.

At least Li Muhua and Anthony didn't think so. What is needed on the field is the cooperation between teammates, rather than becoming a ball tyrant and competing alone.

For example, in this game, Shupet broke out unexpectedly, making consecutive hits from the outside, and even performed super-level in the mid-range, which boosted the morale of the entire Knicks team.

After Li Muhua and Shu Pete clapped their hands together, they couldn't help laughing:
"It seems that I will pass the ball to you more in the future, otherwise we may lose a future star!"

Shupet waved his hands again and again, looking a little shy, but on the offensive end, he still disabled the Magic. The Magic lost this game for no apparent reason, just like the situation of the Knicks last game. They lost to a role player. inside.

Early the next morning, Li Muhua had just packed up and saluted when he received a call from Coach Woodson.

I don't know if it's because the Knicks are a bit hated. Lin Shuhao missed the game. Everyone thought it was a normal rotation, but after the inspection, it was found that he had a leg injury.

This undoubtedly casts a shadow over the upcoming playoffs.

After Li Muhua joined the team at the airport, he has been discussing countermeasures with Anthony and Stoudemire.

Before Lin Shuhao played the bright side, the Knicks specially equipped Li Muhua with Bibby to make up for the vacancy of the first position. Unexpectedly, D'Antoni accidentally let Lin Shuhao play, although some combo guards Shadow, but for a singles team like the Knicks, it is not a big problem at all.

The lack of point-chasing players during the substitute period made Li Muhua feel that this year's playoffs might be difficult.

Li Muhua had reminded Lin Shuhao before that he suggested not to make some drastic breakthroughs, no matter whether the body has the kind of talent that ordinary people can't envy, it will be fleshy after all.

Rose is a good example. The Bulls have been fierce in the past two years, but they are always stumbling. The main reason is that Rose is injured and retired.

It's not that the Bulls are ignorant of this hidden danger, but the reality is that they can't help it. Even for the ticket revenue, they have to drum up Rose to play.

Sometimes, player injuries are created alive by the management.

After arriving in Atlanta, it was also the last day of March.

The playoffs will start at the end of April, which means that there is less than a month left.

The Knicks play the Hawks away.

The Hawks currently rank third, three games more than the Knicks, and to be honest, this is a game no one can afford to lose.

Once the Knicks lose, it means that the ranking continues to decline.

In this game, Shupet played still strong.

In the past, Li Muhua was not his first choice even if there was an open seat, but this game is completely different, and with Anthony and other big names to open up the space, Shupet's chances are not very good.

Coach Woodson communicated the results with the big names before the game.

Li Muhua's thinking is very pure. We are already stars, and we don't lack opportunities to play. Now that we want to maintain our combat effectiveness and want to win, we should explore the abilities of role players instead of letting them play as blue-collar players.

Anthony doesn't understand this, because he is not a player who climbed from the bottom.

Coach Woodson agreed to Li Muhua's request.

Long shot!

Mid-range jumper.

Break through the ball.

Shupet's touch is hot, even though his shooting percentage has dropped slightly from the previous game, 14 of 9, but he scored 25 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound.

It was not good to play too excitedly, and the defense was too tough, which caused Shupet to get five fouls, and basically didn't play much in the last quarter, leaving Coach Woodson on the bench.

Li Muhua still maintained his double-double status and only scored 15 points, which was a mediocre performance.

But no one in the team underestimated Li Muhua's role. He easily scored 12 assists in three quarters, and he was sometimes responsible for transferring the ball. This feeling is completely different.

In the past, Li Muhua had Durant, Nowitzki, and Anthony by his side. These three were at the top of the league in terms of skill and combat. You can't do it in rotation, but you can fight it with ease.

The main reason is that the opponent doesn't pay too much attention to the role players. This is the same as Li Muhua's first season with the Thunder. He played well, but the opponent doesn't pay too much attention to it, so there are many more opportunities to make calls.

This is what Shupet is now, in the eyes of the opponent on the field, he is an invisible person.

This kind of player is very uncomfortable. If you pay too much attention, you will let other stars go. Once you relax, you will score endless goals.

Li Muhua was also relieved. Fortunately, even if Shu Pete played out, he could almost make up for some loopholes on the offensive end.

After winning the Hawks, the Knicks returned to New York overnight.

The next day, the Knicks played against the Cavaliers at home.

Before the game, Stoudemire felt a little unwell, probably because of a bad stomach, so Coach Woodson had to let Douglas temporarily top the starting lineup.

In the first quarter, the Knicks' low post was directly kicked out of the shit.

Douglas was completely dazed when facing Jamison. When Jamison turned around, the guy was still in a daze.

What the hell!

Li Muhua kept cursing secretly, really wanted to kick Douglas in the past.

It is said that Stoudemire's defense is too poor. In fact, it has something to do with his motivation to play. He signed a high salary and has no burden. There is nothing wrong with his health.

People are lazy, and players are no exception. Stoudemire is the most typical example.

When he was in Phoenix before, Stoudemire was fed by Nash, and Stoudemire was so comfortable and silly, he frantically took whatever he wanted in the low position, and directly played his worth.

At that time, the Suns' defense was poor, and Stoudemire was too lazy to defend and no one said anything. At most, he pointed the finger at Nash and let Zonda take the blame.

But it's different now. Stoudemire came to the Knicks last season. In the absence of Anthony, he was the core of the team.

Douglas is a bit different. He is very active in defense, but he is a little clumsy in his state. He often goes to nightclubs for nothing, and his mind has long been confused by alcohol and sex.
