Devil shooting guard in basketball

Chapter 224 The Chaotic Knicks (33)

Every team will have illusions when the new season starts.A fantasy about their team's ranking.

Some teams will be more pragmatic. For example, in a new season, it will be very good if they can go from 10th last season to entering the playoffs.

If they finished 6th last season, then this season's playoffs will be good enough to enter the second round.

Usually such a team will feel more fulfilled in a season as a whole.

Not bad, not too bad.Unless there are major player changes, player injuries and other reasons.

And if they meet the expectations at the beginning of the season, then it is possible that they will become a strong team in a few years!

However, because of the top-ranked teams and the bottom-bottom teams in the league, it is actually not easy to adjust their mentality.

The top-ranked teams will be very concerned about their rankings, and they are actually mentally tense throughout the season.

This state will continue until the playoffs.And the teams at the bottom of the league will either fight hard for dozens of games, or they will simply fail.

The Knicks team has always been very contradictory. The team wants to become a strong team, but the players are always unable to achieve results.

So far the team is still in the running-in stage.

The definition given to them by the Warriors is that the Knicks have not performed well so far, so they are considered an underdog team.

This game is still based on training.But I will try my best to win, Coach Kerr coached today's game.

The Knicks still know what kind of team the Warriors are now.But Anthony's attitude is that they still have to strive to win today's game.

Although he lost a lot of games, this season has just started, and the game has not reached 10 games yet.

What if they start a winning streak?
There are still problems with the cooperation of the players in the team at this time.

But they continued to ignite their fighting spirit in this game!

Cole: "Barbosa, I have to observe your behavior recently. If you still play like the last game, I think you should rest this season."

Barbosa: "I will try to cooperate with my teammates"

Cole just looks at him for a few seconds, then turns back.Under Green's watchful gaze, Barbosa immediately became a lot more behaved.

After a while the Knicks starters came on.They are O'Quinn, Williams, Anthony, Calderon and Grant!
The Warriors are Varejao, Green, Iguodala, Li Feng and Barbosa.

The first quarter of the game still gave Barbosa a certain amount of playing time.

The team has always believed that the guards in their team are good.

But in terms of strength, Li Feng and Curry are indeed very powerful now.

The number of games played this season is not much.But the team gave other defenders a lot of playing time, and they didn't play it themselves, so there was nothing they could do.

No matter which team, when they meet the Warriors with Li Feng this season, they will have doubts.

What they doubt is, are the Warriors really that strong?

Even the Knicks.

They are going to verify it for themselves today to see if the strength of the Warriors is as powerful as the media claims!

At the same time, cheer them up!

Grant: "Let's talk about Li Feng's skills, he's not doing very well now. How come he's in the same ranks as today's top players?

I think this Asian player is still in the top 10 in the league in scoring this season.

That score list is not the rookie list, but the total score list! "

Calderon: "A good shooting guard doesn't need to be too demanding. As long as he shoots well on the field, he will be fine"

Speaking of the start of the game, Varejao got the ball and passed it to Barbosa.

In this game, Barbosa really didn't dare to play like before.

If it is still a disruptive attack, the team may really put him under house arrest!

In the frontcourt, relying on his own unique rhythm and speed, it is still very easy to be a defender.Eventually basketball came to Green.

Dream Chaser's jumper was blocked by Anthony! !

The Knicks fans at the scene immediately became excited!At this time, Melon is the spiritual symbol of their team!
Green: "Anthony, you are looking for trouble. Is your team losing face? Do you dare to cover me again?"

Anthony: "It's okay to cover you with 10! If you're on the road, just be honest and hear me?"

Green: "That's very good. Then your team will wait for a big loss to us!"

When Calderon saw the distraction of the two front players, he jumped up and hit a three-pointer!

Barbosa was going to catch the ball, but Green pushed it away.
After chasing the dream with the ball halfway through, Li Feng got his pass and faked Grant, and finally relied on Iguodala's body to block the opponent and made a jump shot back to score a three-pointer!

Anthony still wanted to say something to Green, but the other party chose to ignore it.

So Melon asked for the ball directly, passed the defense of the three Warriors players by himself, and finally hit 2 points against Green!
Cole was standing straight on the sidelines at this time. Looking at it now, it seems that the Knicks' cooperation is still not good.

He was relieved to see this situation.

Anthony quickly grabbed the basketball in Green's hand, and despite the objections of their team coach, rushed over by himself, facing Iguodala's supplementary defense and hit a three-pointer!
The Knicks started off pretty well!
At this point they scored 8 points.But Melon doesn't seem to be in a hurry to watch the Warriors.

In today's game, the opponent didn't come on the bench at the beginning.

Coach Walton didn't lead the team either.

But the players on the New York side feel that the opponent is not very good.

Li Feng took the basketball, faced the opponent's strict defense, and passed the ball decisively to Barbosa.

The latter passed the opposing defender directly and passed the ball to Varejao.Today's Barbosa seems to have become a point guard.

Maybe he forgot to pass the ball when he was dribbling during the game, and at this time Barbosa was watched by the whole team.

So his main style of play in this game is to pass the ball.

Varejao directly dunks to score!
It can be said that the first quarter of the game completely aroused the emotions of the Knicks fans!

26:24!In the last 3 seconds of the first quarter, Anthony hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to overtake the Warriors and take the lead!

Melon still went to see Green, but found that Chasing Dream didn't even look at him anymore.

On Anthony's side, the understanding is that Green still doesn't have the confidence to look at him, but Chasing Dream is actually laughing there.

Anthony and his teammates playing like this not only angered Green, but also made Curry very upset!
Barbosa returned to the bench after getting 4 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Knicks' lineup remained unchanged.The Warriors traded Curry for Barbosa.

Cole feels like today, don't get too exhausted with the Knicks.

In terms of training, first beat the opponent into the garbage time.

At the start of the game, Curry took the ball directly to the frontcourt, facing the opponent's double-team and hit a three-pointer!
A bad feeling hangs over the Knicks players.

Calderon slowly crossed the half court with the ball, facing Li Feng's defense, passed the opponent directly and rushed in!

Melon had already come out at this time, and after getting his pass, he missed a three-pointer and O'Quinn directly made a dunk!

Walton: "Melon is still so strong! In fact, the Knicks have had opportunities for several seasons. But they seem to have been relatively chaotic internally.

The media is also reporting all kinds of things, and the team management and Melon also have conflicts.Wait, I have seen a lot of things like this. "

Cole: "If a team can finally twist their chaos into a rope and use their power in one place, there is still something to be said.

But in recent years, not many teams can do it.On the contrary, due to factors such as player competition, chaotic relationships and conflicts, and discord between coaches and players, the team's combat effectiveness cannot be improved to a higher level. "

Walton: "If Anthony goes to another team to form a giant, there may be a play."

Li Feng attracted the opponent's attention and passed the ball directly to Barnes, who made a hollow three-pointer!
The stalemate between the two teams in the first quarter seemed to be gone, and the Warriors began to widen the point difference from the very beginning.

The players in New York almost have no idea at this time.

The combat power of the Warriors, now in the regular season, sometimes they play depends entirely on their mood.

The point difference won't be too big if you let it go, but if you and your teammates anger the Warriors players... the consequences will be dire.

But at this time, Melon had already released all the harsh words in the first quarter of the game.
Anthony's breakthrough this time was directly slapped out by Green with a blood cap!
Then he immediately received a pass from his teammate and hit a three-pointer!

Melon has been in season for several seasons, and sometimes you can feel the feeling of a diamond with 4 bronzes.

Can't move
Curry's eyes were murderous at this time.

He wants to play basketball, facing the Knicks players and dealing with them.In the end, it attracted the defense of the other three players!

Li Feng got his pass and hit a three-pointer in front of Green!

The Knicks are about to pause.

Green: "I wanted to beat the opponent by 20 points today. But they opened the minimum point difference to 30 points."

Curry: "Maybe even higher"

Green: "Hahaha yes!"

Cole: "Well, don't talk about it. Let me just say one thing. In the first half, the point difference was widened as much as possible, and the substitute players behind have to come up to adapt to the game."

I don't know why, when the Warriors players came up, there seemed to be some quarrels on the Knicks' side.

Grant: "Anthony would have been better if you had passed more."

Anthony: "Last game, no, I did that for the first three games. But what about you guys? How many points did you score?
Not that I don't.It's because your scoring efficiency is really not high.As far as Jackson is concerned, he is now the vice president of management, not the team's head coach.

What does he know, does he know what is the most reasonable way to do it on the court? "

Calderon: "Let's do it. I'll organize the game and the ball will go to the other players. Then we."

Anthony: "No! I don't agree! The basketball basically has to go through my hands! I decide whether to attack by myself or pass the ball to you!"

The rest of the players did not speak at this time.Because there is nothing to say.

If you insist on reasoning with Melo, it is true that in the game where Anthony passed the ball to them, they really didn't score much.
In the end, the ball was given to Anthony, and he rushed to the layup and was blocked.

Li Feng picked up a rebound, and Curry hit a three-pointer with a catch and jumper
At this time, the Warriors began to rain three-pointers.The players on the Knicks side are all in a state of confusion, except for Melon.

Not to mention not scoring, even if they have 2 points now, if they play against the Warriors with 2 points, they can't catch up with the opponent's rhythm.

The Warriors used points to pour cold water on the Knicks fans.

The atmosphere at the scene rose very high in the first quarter.But in the second quarter, the enthusiasm of the fans began to decrease.

Anthony looked at his shooting accuracy, and it did drop a lot in this quarter, so he started to pass the ball, but his teammates' shots were also hit hard.
Melon went to find Green several times, but found that Chasing Dream seems to be much quieter today.

The Warriors are doing one thing right now.That's what Kerr said in the timeout, widen the gap, buy time for the bench teammate
The Knicks players themselves are not in harmony at this time.This makes them more chaotic in the rhythm of the game.

Their players are not thinking about how to play on the field, but thinking about whether Anthony will pass the ball.

56: 41!

The Warriors played in the second quarter at about the same pace as the first.Even sometimes he is not as fast as Barbosa when holding the ball, but his efficiency has improved a lot!
The opponent passes the ball methodically, the teammates respond, and then the guard keeps shooting three-pointers.

The confidence that the Knicks had just built up at the beginning of the game.Don't smack the ball with your hands in the second quarter.

Cole: "If you were to be their head coach for such a team, what would you do?"

Wharton: "I haven't even thought about such a problem. Hahaha! If it were me, I might choose to resign~"

Kerr: "Haha! Come on. Talk about it. What if they paid you $500 million a year to be the head coach of the Knicks?"

Walton: "If it's more than 800 million a year, it's out of the question~ It's a joke. If it were me, I would first let the players on the team agree and listen to me. Otherwise, I would just let the team suck.

If they start listening to me.I will start with some basic coordination.Slowly cultivate their mutual trust and ability to cooperate with each other in the game.You know, it's not easy.There is no running-in of 30 games.

All in all it is difficult.I don't know if I have Kidd's skills.I don't know about his coaching ability, but he does have a knack for dealing with his own players."

Cole nodded slightly when he heard what the young assistant coach Wharton said.

Kidd was really good last season.A Bucks with constant internal conflicts and poor cooperation between players.Went to the finals and won the championship.

Two coaches stood with their shoulders crossed on the sidelines, chatting and watching the game.Basically no more.

Although Melo hit a three-pointer again towards the end of the first half.But at this time, the point difference between the two teams has been more than 10 points for a long time.
