play for it

Chapter 257 Flaws
"What? It's impossible!"

Jefferson, who didn't play, was sitting next to Yang Ke. When he heard Whiteside's words, he looked shocked and turned his head away from the game.

Yang Ke's face was full of doubts, with a few glistening beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, his eyes stared straight at Whiteside, and he couldn't help asking: "Yes, if the team didn't sign you, Then how could you be here?"

"Just a consolation."

Whiteside shrugged his shoulders when he heard the words, his head shook slightly with the sound, his eyes slowly closed and opened, and the sense of loss was palpable.

"Forehead…"

His face froze and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Yang Ke felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.Although he has only just entered the league, he doesn't really understand the various reasons.

But Yang Ke is not stupid, he at least understood what Whiteside said.This kind of situation is very normal, just like women in life send good person cards to men. Although it may be difficult for some people to accept, it is reasonable.

"oh, I see!"

Jefferson is used to this, after all, this is not the first time he has encountered this situation.Jefferson bent down, leaned out half of his body, and stretched out his right hand at the same time, saying, "Don't worry too much, as long as you have the strength, you will eventually find a team."

"Thank you."

Whiteside was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, smiled and reached out to hold it.

…………

The game has been going on in an orderly manner, and the two sides of the game finally changed into their respective rotations as the first quarter came to an end.

Due to injuries, the Spurs' once-famous bench gangsters are no longer as brave as they used to be.But fortunately, the Knicks' substitutes fought on their own, had no rules, performed very poorly, and did not exert their due strength.

Therefore, with the efforts of Mills and others, the Spurs gradually gained an advantage and stabilized.The score has been leading within a few minutes, but the difference is always within 8 points.

boom!
With JR Smith hitting the board again, Woodson couldn't help frowning off the court.It's true that Smith's three-point shooting rate is among the best on the team, but his shot selection is terrible and he always likes to mess up.

"I don't know why he was traded here. Such a crazy knife is not so easy to control."

Closing his eyes, Woodson pinched his temples with some headaches. He had just taken office as the head coach, and he didn't have a good resume.As a result, many people in the management reached out their hands.

"Damn!"

Cursing in a low voice, Woodson opened his eyes suddenly, stood up and walked towards the other side of the bench.Although the score gap has not yet widened to double digits, the performance of the substitutes made him dare not bet, so he decided to take the initiative to adjust.

Walking in front of the three core members of the team who were chatting, Woodson stopped, took a deep breath, and then said: "I want to put you on the field."

The chatting stopped immediately, and Stoudemire and Chandler didn't react much when they heard Woodson's words.The fact that they are more than happy to continue playing, given that their playing time is strictly controlled in order to prevent their re-injury, makes them somewhat reticent.

After all, more playing time means more performance opportunities, and the data generated by performance opportunities will affect all aspects of salary, and no one will have trouble with money.

"why?"

Anthony looked up at Woodson with some doubts.Although the team is still behind, the difference of 8 points is not unacceptable.And if they play early and fail to rest and adjust effectively, they may be at a disadvantage in the subsequent confrontation with the Spurs' main players.

Woodson curled his lips. The poor performance and choices of JR Smith and others made him feel that sooner or later the score would be opened. Of course, this reason cannot be said.Although it is true from the coach's point of view, it is not the same from the player's point of view.

Woodson knows that although he is the head coach, his current status in the team is not very good, so he wisely avoided it.

Woodson said unhurriedly: "The Spurs have flaws. You should have watched the scouting analysis before the game. After the GDP three were injured, Yang became the core of the offense. I think you also know that the physical fitness of Asian players Not much."

Lowering his head slightly and groping his chin with his right hand, Chandler fell into deep thought.It is undeniable that Asian players do need to improve in terms of physical fitness compared with them, and Jeremy Lin in the team has made them more aware of this.

Stoudemire shook his head and said, "What if Yang Ke is an exception? After playing so many games, he has never had any physical problems."

Suddenly thinking of something, Anthony's eyes lit up, and he looked Woodson up and down. For the first time, he felt that there was something wrong with the head coach, but he said, "That's because of the Spurs!"

Woodson nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Popovich is very good at rotating players. Young's average playing time has never exceeded 25 minutes per game. But in these two games after all three of GDP were injured, Young Ke played more than 33 minutes."

Seeing the players listening and nodding, as if everyone agrees with his point of view, Woodson gradually became excited.

"According to my observation, all of Yang Ke's offenses in the first quarter were playing pick-and-rolls, even if they weren't looking for misplacements. All the behavioral trajectories are to save energy, so we can start from this aspect!"

Anthony just pondered for a moment before making a decision. He wanted to win the game, the easier the better, and Woodson's point of view sounded okay.

"Coach, what should we do?"

…………

In the second minute of the second quarter, Woodson waved his big hand and put the main lineup back on the field. At this time, the Knicks were only 2 points behind the Spurs.

Regarding Woodson's decision and choice, not to mention Barkley and Smith, even Popovich couldn't figure it out, but felt something was wrong in his heart.

In the 5th minute, under the leadership of Chandler, Stoudemire and Anthony, the Knicks tied the score.Even so, Popovich only called a timeout and did not make personnel adjustments.

In the 8th minute, the Knicks had overtaken the score and extended the lead to 9 points.This time Popovich couldn't sit still anymore, taking advantage of the dead ball time of Chandler's free throw, he replaced the main force.

Looking at Yang Ke walking in front of him, Felton seemed to have foreseen something, with an excited expression on his face, he grinned and said: "We finally meet again, rookie... I am very satisfied with your performance in the first quarter, And I won't let you down."
