This point guard is great

Chapter 222 Just So Honest
In fact, when Jermaine O'Neal hit the last ball into the basket, Don Cheney was in a bad mood, his head was full of doubts, and how to face the reporters, how to face the accountability of the management, what the hell was the 10+ lead being turned against the wind?

Fortunately, Don Cheney has seen storms before.

After the game, Don Cheney gritted his teeth angrily and accused the Pacers of not being martial arts in front of the camera. He agreed on garbage time, but in the end he feinted! ?

cheat on his pure sportsmanship.

The Pacers insisted that they didn't play the so-called garbage time, but simply adopted a new tactic, which was prepared for this year's playoffs. Facts have proved that this tactic is extremely powerful.

What else can Don Cheney do?
People are shameless, so they can only grit their teeth and swallow the breath.

At the same time, there was a bit of dissatisfaction. Ma Hong’s personal emotions were too serious. When he finally played, he had already said that he was delaying time. According to his tactical arrangement, as long as he entered overtime, when Dayao and Kwame Brown eased up and regained a little touch, they could win easily.

Under normal circumstances, the head coach of the team cannot dump the blame on the head star, unless he wants to die.

What is a leading star is the face of the team. A "strong team" may not have a qualified head coach, but it must have a leading star, otherwise the team will not be called a "strong team". Similarly, if the leading star does not get along with the coach, the team's handling methods are generally simple and rude, either changing coaches or double killing.

The Knicks fans who watched this game almost vomited blood. They couldn't figure out why they lost suddenly after a good situation.

The Knicks' five-game winning streak was ended, and it was even worse when they lost to the Mavs 106-109 in Dallas.

The Mavericks had a fast break in this game. Mahon's pressure and physical strength had not been relieved, and Sprewell was unable to play. He was led to run for three quarters, and his physical strength was seriously exhausted. The Knicks tragically ushered in their second consecutive loss.

In this game, Don Cheney also seemed to be beating Mahon on purpose, which increased Tyronn Lue's playing time, so Mahon just messed up like this.

On November 11th, Singles' Day, the Knicks played the Cavaliers away.

The gratifying main scorer, Sprewell, finally came back, and the team arranged a urine test privately, and it was confirmed that there was no problem.

Ma Hong's state has also recovered, and the Three Musketeers once again slaughtered the Cavaliers 107 to 87.

The Knicks were also in a relatively smooth state in the next game. Sprewell was a little bit reckless, but he was not stupid. After being punished and reprimanded, he was really calm for a while, but the atmosphere of the Knicks gradually became a little strange.

Because I don't know when, the coach's arrangement and the one on the court have become the same as two games?
There is little correlation.

Throughout November, the Knicks played a luxurious team-level stats, ranking third in the league in winning percentage, and all the Eastern powerhouses were cut off one after another, even as strong as Kidd.

Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks.

The magical game rankings allowed the Knicks to play one home and two away at the end of November, with no gap at all, all back-to-back.

Playing against the Mavericks at home, on the whole, it was a back-and-forth, and it was difficult to lose the game 125 to 121 in the last two overtimes. In the two overtimes, here is the key point, and there are tests. Everyone is already very tired, especially Mahon. Now the Knicks are playing very fast.

So it is not surprising to usher in a three-game losing streak.

Moreover, when playing against the Spurs, Popovich also showed off a trick to let Bowen defend Mahon. It was really thanks to the old grandson who thought it out, but the effect was remarkable. Mahon was injured after playing for two quarters. Although he was pretending, he was indeed kicked hard by Bowen.

Of course, Bowen also had no good results. He was punched twice by Sprewell, and then the two were suspended.

Leading the team to play games, there must be winners and losers, the difference is, which one is more, this time the Knicks lost three games were all powerful players, and they did not encounter any cyber violence, so they survived safely.

Then in the first game in December against the Timberwolves, Ma Hong showed off a wave of runaways. In this game, Ma Hong asked Dayao and Kwame Brown to cooperate with a two-man sniper Garnett. He could allow space, but he just kept Garnett from falling into zone defense. In this era, Garnett has not been wronged.

With 12 points and 8 rebounds, Garnett ushered in the lowest data of the season, and was defended to doubt his life. He even felt that Mahon was a little ungrateful. Mahon was kicked out of the Bulls.

Ma Hong scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 14 assists in a single game. After a three-game losing streak, he set a new career high.

Yes, it’s a rant, it’s so frank, as long as there is no interview, Ma Hong dares to say that. Although the Timberwolves have already knelt down and begged for peace in the last quarter, Ma Hong took the Pacers as a warning, and Don Cheney, who was directly angry, couldn’t take care of himself.

Mahon's stats are the highest for a point guard this year. Although Kidd has achieved triple-doubles three times, none of his single-game results have been of such a large level.

Next, is the highlight of December, because the Knicks' next away game is at the Federal Center Arena, which is Mahon's old club, the Chicago Bulls.

For this game, many New York fans flew and drove all the way from New York to Chicago to cheer for Mahon.

The media was not idle either. Under the sternness of several famous mouthpieces, Mahon's ruthlessness against the Timberwolves, not Bilian, has been said to be a rehearsal before the battle against the Bulls.

Moreover, Sprewell, the main shooting guard of the Knicks, publicly stated that this time the Knicks will never show mercy, and will not accept garbage time. Their main lineup will play from the beginning to the end, and there is no reason for them to stop charging. When the madman said this, Don Cheney was sitting next to him, his face turned green.

Is it better to resolve enemies than to end them?
Then Ma Hong, stunned by Don Cheney, gave him a story about King Chu in the storytelling version.

The corners of Dayao's mouth twitched while listening, but let alone, the style of Pingshu in a foreign country is quite friendly. Although he is not good at holding grudges, Dayao is just an innocent and cute cutie. Even if he averages 10+10 per game, he is also a cutie.

The Knicks are mobilizing before the reverse game. Don Cheney is not very comfortable. He feels that his role as the head coach in the team is getting less and less, and the Bulls on the other side are also very uncomfortable.

Because although the Bulls have a good lineup now, with All-Star Carter and Artest, Alan Houston as a point guard, and a powerful center like a boxing champion inside, it makes sense that playing with your eyes closed should be a playoff team, or even a championship team.

But the strange thing is that the Bulls are now 8 wins and 10 losses, and the winning percentage is not even 50.00%.

Not to mention looking at the entire league, even in the East they don't take advantage of it.
