Chapter 400 My rules are rules! (Please subscribe, please support)

When Ke Yan rushed to the hospital, the results of Holiday's MRI had already come out. He had a fractured rib and did not need surgery. He only needed to rest peacefully and the recovery period would be about three to four weeks.

Thank God! Ke Yan sighed inwardly. This result was slightly better than he expected. In his previous life, Gerald Wallace took an elbow from Bynum, and his athletic ability dropped by one-third. He was directly on the verge of becoming an All-Star.

Players have fallen to the level of ordinary players. Holiday, as a newcomer he carefully trained, would really be difficult for Ke Yan to deal with if he suffered such a disaster.

"Have a good rest and come out to play again in 2011," Ke Yan said with relief.

"I hope that when I come back, we will still be on a winning streak." Professional players will inevitably encounter injuries. Holiday's mentality has been adjusted well, and he comforted Ke Yan in turn.

"Trust your teammates, they can do it."

If they can beat the entire 2010, the Knicks can break the Lakers' longest winning streak of 33 games. Frankly speaking, Ke Yan finds this difficult, especially with the loss of personnel.

A day later, the Knicks suffered another blow. Matthews was suspended for one game and fined $5,000 for pushing Bynum for his teammates during a game against the Timberwolves.

"It's so clear that they won't let us continue to win!" Ke Yan cursed after hearing the news.

A fine of US$5,000 is not a big deal for the team, but a one-game suspension, and it happened to be suspended for the game against the Nuggets, is a bit hurt. After all, Matthews has defense and physical strength, more or less

It can cause some trouble for Anthony; he cannot play, and the Knicks can only use Korver or Stephenson at the second position.

The Knicks' strength since the start of the season has reached the point of destroying the balance of the game. It's time for the league to make them more difficult.

But, the team cannot always be smooth sailing in a season. There will always be some ups and downs. Only by experiencing this kind of mental tempering can we withstand the pressure at more critical times.

...

On the morning of December 1st, the Knicks came to the Pepsi Center for on-court training. Ke Yan selected Stephenson to be transferred to the starting lineup. Anyone familiar with him knows that this is Ke Yan’s usual approach, and he tries not to leave because of short-term reasons.

The regular rotation of the team will be adjusted due to the loss of personnel.

Moreover, in terms of the pertinence of his style of play, Stephenson, who has better physical fitness and stronger ball-handling ability, is indeed better than Korver in resisting the beasts of the Nuggets! Korver is not Klay after all.

High altitude + high-intensity confrontation, he may not be able to assist Curry in shooting through the opponent.

However, Ke Yan's arrangement aroused James' doubts. After the training, James found Ke Yan and put forward his "opinions."

"I think when Keller and Stephen play together, our space on the court is wider. Whether it is breaking into the basket or passing the ball to the outside, we are more threatening. Why not let Keller be the starter?

Woolen cloth?"

"Because the Nuggets are a very tough team, if we can't show enough intensity, we will suffer! And Kyler is more adaptable to the current rotation position, so I don't think it is necessary to change the rotation rashly.

"Ke Yan explained in a good voice.

"But Lance is better at holding the ball, his catching and shooting is not stable, and his defense is not that good either." James insisted.

"???" Ke Yan raised his head and looked at James with a puzzled look.

"Keller has his role, and so do you! Do your job as a player."

Ke Yan was able to explain to him in the first place because James had been working diligently during this period. However, the other party had no idea and insisted on his own opinion. Wasn't Ke Yan allowed to tell the other party who had the final say in the locker room?

"..." Feeling the hostility in Ke Yan's words again, James paused, then turned away angrily, shouting "OK! OK!"

"New York is not Cleveland. If you're looking for a nanny, you've come to the wrong place!" Ke Yan pushed back without any politeness.

There was a pre-war feud between the generals, and the Knicks made a big mistake!

Until the start of the game, James ignored Ke Yan. He shot some baskets during the warm-up and then sat on a stool to rest. He did not even listen to Ke Yan's final tactical arrangements. Even when the players gathered together to cheer up, James was cold.

He stood on the outermost side with a straight face and stretched out his arms symbolically.

From the moment he entered the court, James' expression had always been wrong. He was not as arrogant as before. There was almost no communication with the coach and teammates this time, and his expression was so serious. It was obvious that something was wrong.

Starting lineup, five Knicks: Curry, Stephenson, James, West, Horford.

Nuggets five: Billups, Dante Jones, Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Nene.

Horford won the jump ball, and the Knicks attacked first, opening up the outside formation. Horford provided Curry with an off-ball screen from the side, helping him get rid of Billups. Curry caught the ball and defended inside.

In preparation for the game, the Nuggets focused on the Knicks' off-ball screen, which requires quick defense changes. Curry took the ball, changed direction and went to the right to pass Nene, and made an emergency stop in the high post.

Dante Jones chased him from the side, but Curry didn't shoot. He jumped up and passed the ball gently to Horford, who was cutting from the left. The "cook" strode into the basket, attracting Anthony to cover up the defense without shooting.

It was again assigned to James on the right.

James did not waste the opportunity and hit an open three-pointer, 0:3.

The Nuggets attacked with the same formation. Billups dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Martin in the middle. Then he ran to the bottom corner and passed the ball inside to Anthony on the right. James and Anthony faced each other directly.

Anthony broke through with the ball, but failed to get past James in one step. He turned his back to 45 degrees, quickly connected and turned over for a jumper, and hit the ball accurately.

The Knicks attacked again. James held the ball and used West's pick-and-roll to complete the first step. He went to the basket to attract help and passed the ball. Horford missed the shot from close range and Martin grabbed the rebound.

Anthony took the ball on the right side and made a fake hand-to-hand coordination with Anthony who was running over. When James and Curry turned their attention to Billups, they suddenly started to open up the breakthrough space.

An emergency stop drew West and he passed the ball to the basket. Kenyon Martin jumped up and put the ball into the basket, causing Horford to foul.

Anthony's handling of this ball felt a bit like James. Based on Ke Yan's understanding of Anthony, he really didn't expect Anthony to choose to pass the ball in this situation.

When the Knicks attacked, Ke Yan stood up and shouted several times to the sideline. The players on the field understood and changed their formation.

Curry holds the ball, James is first in the corner. As West comes to the corner, he curls up to the line. West covers Anthony without the ball. Curry hands the ball to James who is going around the free throw line.

, then moved to the left, James pushed the ball to West, who blocked Anthony's body and completed the pass, and the latter accurately hit the mid-range shot. (5:5)

Against an old opponent like James, Anthony can mobilize himself to defend hard in 1V1. Once he enters the off-ball defense and is caught by the pick-and-roll, Anthony will not be able to find the southeast, northwest, and northwest. This is a matter of consciousness, and it does not depend on you on the court.

The level of investment is transferable.

The Nuggets attacked, and Nene moved to the corner to challenge Horford. He skillfully turned his back and then to the basket, then picked up the basket with his left hand to complete the score.

Nene is an underrated post with "one testicle but big balls". He is extremely skilled in face-up singles and has a mid-range shot that can amplify his offensive threat. Although the defensive habits of the post are not very good, his physical quality is

The effect of this is actually not bad. The reason why people think the defense is poor is that on the one hand it cannot guard against top players such as Gasol and Nowitzki; on the other hand, it also has the adverse effect of wiping Anthony's butt.

But the question is, who can wipe Anthony's defensive butt clean?

The Knicks attacked, James held the ball and launched a James Curry pick-and-roll, causing a mismatch and then passing the ball to Curry. The latter used his movement to shake Anthony, stepped back and shot a three-pointer, accurately hitting .8 to 7.

Looking back, Billups wanted to "retaliate with tooth". Taking advantage of the Knicks' defensive footing, he rushed to shoot a three-pointer, but failed to hit it.

Billups is similar to Gasol. He is a player who can make the right decision whenever he is on the court. Such a player gives people the impression that he is a team player and has a high basketball IQ. But they both also have a

The weakness is that the shooting percentage and efficiency value are average, especially when he is the main player. Take Billups as an example, this season is the season with the second highest shooting percentage in his career, with a shooting percentage of almost 43.

%, slightly higher than the average for point guards.

The Knicks attacked, and Horford provided a screen for James. This time Anthony was very active in bypassing the pursuit. James broke through to the free throw line and passed back to the middle. Horford caught the ball and shot, making a long two-pointer. 10 to 7.

Not only Curry, every Knicks player can shoot, giving opponents a headache, except for Stephenson...

As soon as Stephenson was mentioned, his junior brother who had little performance on the court did something amazing. He was ambushing behind Anthony, took advantage of Anthony's carelessness when receiving the serve, completed the steal, and then jumped high to meet Kenyon Martin who was serving,

After completing the confrontation in the air, he completed the two-hand frame split!

With both hands hanging on the basket, the younger brother's foot scratched and pulled on Martin's neck twice, almost triggering another conflict.

Although he escaped Kenyon Martin's counterattack, he still received a technical foul for unnecessary hanging on the frame. Anthony executed a technical foul free throw and succeeded.

"Well, at least I made a point!" Ke Yan comforted himself.

A guy like Junior Brother is crazy, you can't expect him to not make mistakes in every game.
