Godfather of basketball: coach Dayao to win the championship

The 2005-2006 season, the NBA regular season has ended.

Before the playoffs come, there is still a period of time for every team and player who has made the playoffs to make some adjustments.

And Han Ning and the players of the New York Knicks did not waste this time.

In the regular season, failing to catch up with the Detroit Pistons and only being able to enter the playoffs as No. 2 in the Eastern Conference regular season was a big blow to the players of the New York Knicks.

After all, this is their worst regular season result since two or three years ago.

Han Ning has seen the emotions of the players of the New York Knicks.

It's just that he didn't go to comfort these New York Knicks players.

Just slowed down some training arrangements.

The amount of training has been reduced, and at the same time, more tasks such as massage and freezing recovery have been added.

The purpose is to let the physical condition of the players of the New York Knicks get some relief first.

Then, go to counseling from the psychological aspect.

In fact, there is no need for Han Ning to do any psychological counseling.

The players of the New York Knicks, who have played under the leadership of Han Ning for almost three seasons, have already done psychological counseling for themselves in their own hearts.

Moreover, there is a spiritual leader like Allen Iverson in the team.

What should have been done by Han Ning, Allen Iverson has done it.

Wait until two days before the first game of the playoffs.

The players of the New York Knicks have already changed from the mental state of being hit to the morale and desire to win all the next games and championships.

Appropriate losses have a very good effect on the growth of a team and players, as well as the stimulation of the desire to win.

Of course, these defeats cannot happen at the most critical moment.

Losing to the Milwaukee Bucks is obviously not the most critical moment.

Therefore, Han Ning didn't care too much about the loss of this game.

The New York Knicks are not weaker than the Milwaukee Bucks!

It was not because of the fault of the players or the coaches that the team lost!

The key is!

The loss of this game resulted in the failure to get the No.1 position in the Eastern Conference regular season and enter the playoffs. What is the biggest impact? !

It was the New York Knicks who lost some home game round advantage!

but!

Could it be that the New York Knicks couldn't win the game without these advantages? !

Without these advantages, will the New York Knicks become soft-legged shrimp? !

Without these advantages, will the New York Knicks have no strength to compete for the championship? !

Obviously not!

If this is the case, it is impossible for the New York Knicks to win so many away games in the regular season.

Nor would they have swept their opponents with a score of 4-0 several times in the playoffs of the previous two seasons!

.................

Time passed day by day, and finally, the New York Knicks ushered in the first game of this season's playoffs!

And their opponent is the Indiana Pacers who entered the playoffs this season with the seventh place in the regular season in the Eastern Conference.

It is worth mentioning that the Milwaukee Bucks, who previously defeated the New York Knicks, failed to make the playoffs in the end.

Ranked No.9 in the regular season in the East, it is a pity to end all the games of this season.

Compared to the Milwaukee Bucks, the strength of the Indiana Pacers is not much worse than them.

The biggest difference may be that the Milwaukee Bucks' advantage lies in the lineup of outside players.

The advantage of the Indiana Pacers lies in the lineup of inside players.

However, even the Indiana Pacers finished two spots higher than the Milwaukee Bucks in the regular season in the Eastern Conference.

But for the New York Knicks, the Indiana Pacers are better than the Milwaukee Bucks!

After all, the New York Knicks' lineup of inside players is stronger!

However, among the Indiana Pacers' perimeter players, there are not no players who need special attention!

Peja Stojakovic!

The 1998 Greek League MVP player!

In 2002 and 2003, he won the NBA three-point contest twice!

In 2004, he was named to the All-NBA Second Team.

In the original historical process, in the future, he will join the Dallas Mavericks in the 2010-11 season and win the NBA championship that season!

However, Peja Stojakovic at that time had already entered the end of his career.

And now, it is the peak period of Peja Stojakovic's career ability!

Just in the past few seasons, he has just been selected to the All-Star team for three consecutive years!

The strength cannot be underestimated!

It's just that he was transferred to the Indiana Pacers in the winter this season.

Joining the Indiana Pacers for less than half a season, Peja Stojakovic and the rest of the Indiana Pacers have not yet developed enough understanding.

Therefore, in the first few matches, Peja Stojakovic's performance was not particularly good.

In the first half of the season, the New York Knicks faced the Indiana Pacers without Peja Stojakovic.

Up to now, after half a season of running-in.

Peja Stojakovic also has a certain chemistry with the rest of the Indiana Pacers.

Thinking about it, his presence will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the New York Knicks on the perimeter.

However, the arrival of Peja Stojakovic did not come without a price for the Indiana Pacers.

Ron Artest, the future Metta World Peace, was traded to the Sacramento Kings as a bargaining chip.

Losing Ron Artest is also a big loss for the Indiana Pacers.

Therefore, Han Ning did not pay too much attention to the Indiana Pacers.

Judging from the strength of the New York Knicks, it will not be particularly difficult to win this round of the playoffs.

Moreover, the New York Knicks, which entered the playoffs as No. 2 in the Eastern regular season, still have a certain advantage in home and away games in this round of playoffs.

The first game of this round of playoffs was naturally played at the home of the New York Knicks, Madison Gardens!

..................

The time has come to the day of the game.

Han Ning brought the players of the New York Knicks to the Madison Garden Arena for warm-up training early.
