Chapter 410 Who is "James in Football"

At the eighth minute of the first quarter, Ke Yan replaced the main players and took a break. Holiday returned to the game. As soon as he came back, he stole Redick, counterattacked and made a layup in a fast break, completing the score and helping the team close the gap.

The score was extended to 14 points (17:31).

The Magic, who were expected to "snipe" the Knicks, were widened in the first quarter. Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy, who were in charge of the commentary on the sidelines, "complied with public opinion" and began to discuss the "72-10"

difficulty question.

"Actually, from my own perspective, the team that really played the 72-10 feeling of the Bulls in these years was the Dallas Mavericks in the 2007 season. After losing 4 games in a row at the beginning of the season, the Dallas Mavericks won the championship in the next 78 games.

A record of 67 wins and 11 losses, including a loss to the Warriors at the end of the season when all the main players were rested. They completed three consecutive 12+ wins during the season, including the longest round of 17 consecutive wins in the season. They have MVP Novi

Ski, has Josh Howard who can enter the All-Star in the Western Conference, has a complete offensive and defensive system and a very thick bench. If the 4-game losing streak at the beginning is not too eye-catching, I think they can win the season.

The mid-term outlook is recorded and some details are better handled.

If we compare that Mavericks team to the current Knicks team, we will see many similarities. An MVP player whose strength is widely recognized, but has never won a championship, and an MVP player who was appointed by the coach when he first entered the league.

They have young stars with important responsibilities, a complete offensive and defensive system, and a corresponding bench lineup. The difference is that the Knicks under Kimi have been on full fire from the beginning. They have not given any chance to their opponents. They have excelled in all aspects.

They have done it to the extreme. Even if the starting shooting guard is injured and misses for a month, there is still someone who can step in. The only game they lost was a back-to-back game. Forgive me, it is a big deal that the Spurs can end the Knicks' winning streak.

To a certain extent, I have to thank the Warriors and thank Jennings and Ellis for their explosion."

"Judging from the performance so far this season, I think this Knicks team is more terrifying than that Mavericks team. Their suppression is even more unbreakable. Even if they encounter some teams that are slightly restrained in their play style, they will still be able to defeat them."

It can rely on the players' personal abilities to solve the problem. As long as there are no unexpected situations, this is a team that people can look forward to." At this point, Mike Breen chose to keep quiet and leave some room.

If the same situation happened to the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks or even the Hawks, Mike Breen would have the confidence to shout "it will definitely break the record", but it happened to the Knicks, New York, Knicks, these two

Words are connected together to highlight the word "bad", and you never know what limitless things they will do.

Holiday completed "steals, counterattacks, and one-stop dunks" as soon as he came on the scene. However, after all, he has been out of action for a long time and has not yet regained his offensive feeling. In addition, he is not good at organizing offenses.

At the end of the quarter, the Knicks recovered some points from the Magic.

After the first quarter, the two sides tied at 29:37, with the Knicks leading by 8 points.

Although Holiday didn't perform well, at the beginning of the second quarter, Ke Yan still put him on the court to get a feel for the game. Players are not robots, let alone codes with physical bars and status arrows in the game, but living people. Injury

After returning, it will take time to get a feel for the game and some opportunities to "make mistakes". With a certain error tolerance, Ke Yan is willing to give more time to the players he trusts.

Moreover, although Holiday's performance on the offensive end was slightly stretched, on the defensive end, he quickly recovered his form and fully suppressed the street ball king!

Reaching the Finals for two consecutive seasons, the Magic have been very successful in the past two seasons. In addition to their strong starting lineup, their bench lineup is also capable. Alston, Redick, Pietrus, Buss, and Gorta

Te's bench lineup is considered top-notch in the entire league. Except for Pietrus, who is slightly weaker at the small forward position, and others are mentioned in the starting lineup, it will not affect the strength of the starting lineup.

In the first four minutes of the second quarter, the Magic's bench had an 11:8 advantage, and the point difference was narrowed to only 5 points. At this time, Ke Yan brought James, Curry and others back on the court to stabilize the situation.

With James and Curry on the court as two ball-handling points, Holiday was freed from the heavy responsibility of organization and focused on defense. Then he and James recreated the power of the league's strongest defensive duo, helping the team play

Highest quality outside pressure.

The Knicks completed quick counterattacks one after another, launching a 14-3 attack wave, widening the point difference to 16 points. James scored eight points in a row through fast breaks, and scored more than 20 points at halftime.

For the Magic, Peja can only serve as an outside shooting point, and it is difficult to provide other help to the team; Nelson is unable to move under Holiday's pressure and loses his former scoring ability; Howard has never been a player who can kill in the paint.

As the core insider of special attack, the Magic's offense can only rely on Turkoglu and the two inside players' pick-and-roll offense or Howard's inside attack. The former is monotonous and has almost no changes; the latter is inefficient and easy.

The rhythm was forcibly interrupted by foul tactics.

Seeing that the point difference was getting wider and wider, Van Gundy could only call a timeout, replaced Peja and Gortat, and tried to use a larger lineup to block the penalty area and limit the Knicks' interior offense.

This adjustment worked wonders. After Gortat stood in the penalty area, Howard and Josh Smith were liberated to sweep the perimeter. The Magic's protection of the penalty area came to a terrifying state. Their perimeter defense was slightly insufficient and could not keep up.

The Knicks rotate, but Van Gundy's thinking is also simple and crude. If Curry is strangled in this way, James and Holiday can give them the appropriate space to take shots from the outside under the right circumstances.

Van Gundy bet on James and Holiday's touch, but the two did not disappoint Van Gundy. They shot 1-for-6 in the second half of the second quarter, allowing Van Gundy to win the bet and making Ke Yan aware of it.

Something bad has arrived!

Historically, the Heat this year were counterattacked by the Mavericks through zone defense. At that time, the Mavericks took advantage of the Heat's unstable outside shooting and desperately targeted it.

The current Knicks team, just talking about the starting lineup, also has such weaknesses. The team's outside firepower is somewhat "false prosperity". First, Curry is the number one outside shooter in history, and one person can defeat the Knicks.

On the outside, both production and efficiency have improved to a very high level; secondly, Matthews, Korver, Horford, and Casspi have all performed at acceptable levels. Including James and Holiday,

The hit rate is also around 33%, which is not outstanding, but it is not a hindrance!

But if you put it on a higher level stage in the playoffs or even the finals, when the opponent defends the "one-mark-four" and strangles Curry, Ke Yan can count on the three of Horford, James, and Holiday.

Points? Can Casspi, Korver and other "softies" in the playoffs be put to use?

This matchup with the Magic just exposed this "crisis", or weakness, of the Knicks. Ke Yan did not make substitution adjustments, but hoped that James and Holiday could respond on the court.

.

But the development of the situation has become that Holiday is a little afraid to shoot, and James, as the team leader, has begun to blame again. Curry and West, who are under the heavy defense of the Magic, are forced to bear a lot of responsibility.

With the development of offensive characters, the Knicks' offense began to decline.

At halftime, the score reached 59:65, and the Knicks' lead was reduced to 6 points.

"The wind is going with the head of the dog, and the wind is with the head of the dog!" Ke Yan cursed in his mind, and put Korver into the team's starting lineup for the second half during the halftime break.

Korver replaced Holiday, and the team's outside firepower was significantly strengthened. However, in the middle of the second quarter, the terrifying defensive deterrent shown by the team no longer existed. Nelson was freed up, and along with it, the entire Magic team

The team’s offense has improved;

As for the Knicks, the lineup is more reasonable, the offensive environment is greatly broadened, and James also has more room to play. This is a common problem with James' team. You really need to tailor the lineup for him and equip him with a second

At the offensive point, equipped with high-quality insiders and the best shooters, let him concentrate on playing the role he is comfortable with.

You can't say that this kind of equipment is not good, because with Ke Yan here, he has laid a good foundation for the team, and it is possible to win the championship. But what if James' team does not have the wealth that Ke Yan has worked hard to save? Then

We can only sacrifice the future of the team, drain all the potential of the lineup, and configure the corresponding players to compete in the short term.

Ke Yan suddenly thought of Curry's "Messi" character, and thought of the forum where Messi fans and Ronaldo fans called each other "James in football". Rather than saying that James is Ronaldo in football, it would be better to say that he is similar to Ronaldo in football.

Ibrahimovic's compatibility is even better. "Whoever gets Ibrahimovic wins the league." James has dominated the Eastern Conference for eight consecutive seasons since 2011, which is indeed a strong achievement. Similarly, Ibrahimovic and James also have the so-called "

With their "own system" style of play, their teams need to build lineups and develop tactics around them; both of them are also called "house slaves with three surnames" by black fans...

In terms of offense, the Magic, which reached the Finals in the past two years, couldn't beat the Knicks, not to mention the Magic's obvious downward trend this season. Although the defense of Korver and Curry's backcourt combination is not outstanding,

But with the blessing of James behind them, and the Magic themselves lacking a player who can solve the problem on the outside, they cannot catch this loophole of the Knicks.

On the offensive end, Curry and Korver hit consecutive three-pointers, which created a large open opportunity for James with no one three meters in front of him. James raised the knife and lowered his outside shooting percentage.

At this time, Stan Van Gundy's past record of being better than Key Yan in H2H is no longer convincing. In a sense, he just caught hold of Ke Yan's "trough period" and improved his winning rate. You let him go head-to-head with Ke Yan

Even if you fight, you won't get any benefits.

"Horford, hit a three-pointer! The point difference came to 20 points! There is not much suspense in the game! The Knicks ended all games in 2010 with a record of 28 wins and 1 loss! This is the most glorious start in history.

One! Maybe we can look forward to Kimi bringing us another surprise this season!”

Mike Breen on the sidelines shouted excitedly, but Ke Yan on the sidelines was not as happy as he imagined when he saw the victory in front of him. Instead, his face was a little serious.

Stan Van Gundy's tactics in the second half of the second quarter restrained the Knicks' regular starting lineup. Although this was an ideal effect achieved by relying on the amazing athletic abilities of Josh Smith and Howard, it does not represent the rest of the league.

The coach will not be inspired by this, and no one can guarantee that the Knicks will not encounter corresponding difficulties in some more critical games.

Only by solving this problem can the Knicks continue to overcome obstacles in the coming seasons.

The final score was fixed at 103:118. The Knicks dismantled the Magic in the away game. After their 22-game winning streak was ended, they started a 6-game winning streak.

"I don't know how many games we can win in the end. I just want it to be as perfect as possible, whether it's the regular season or the playoffs. Frankly speaking, Knicks fans may never have the opportunity to experience such a great season again."

In the subsequent interview session, Ke Yan said.

.......

Ke Yan and Wang Lifan established their relationship on New Year's Eve from 2005 to 2006. Circumstances permitting, the two would usually go out together to celebrate the New Year on this day. However, with the baby this year, Wang Lifan could not fly away, so the two could only celebrate together.

Postpone it for a day and celebrate at a restaurant on New Year's Day.

"After June this year, I can take a good rest. Then you can put down your work and we can go to Otaru where you want, to Prague, to Rome, to Valencia, to Kenya, wherever you want."

"Ke Yan said.

"With Irene here, do we have so much time to go to so many places?" Wang Lifan smiled, wondering if the time would be enough.

"I haven't finished yet. Stephen plans to propose to Ayesha with a championship ring. They may hold a wedding in the summer. We will also make time to attend their wedding." Ke Yan thought for a while and added, "Don't worry,

There is definitely enough time, I will rest until the end of the year at least."

According to the plan of Ke Yan and Yao Ming, after the 2011 Finals, the two will completely separate from the NBA in a short period of time. They will not accept any officially appointed positions, and will not talk about any NBA-related topics in any interviews or activities, even Yao Ming.

He will not hold his own jersey retirement ceremony that season. Ke Yan will not accept any relevant invitations from the Basketball Association and CCTV, and will return to ordinary people as much as possible.

In principle, there is only one. Starting from their own level, they do not give the NBA any chance to create topics and arouse enthusiasm. The colder the NBA is in China, the greater the significance for them to return by acquiring teams.

Don't think it's in vain. Data shows that after Yao Ming retired and Kobe Bryant declined, the NBA's influence in China declined for a period of time, and many fans gave up on the NBA intentionally or unintentionally. But later, the emergence of "Ku Ritian"

Beat some of them back in front of the TV.

.......

In the first game of 2011, the Knicks welcomed the Magic at home. During pre-game training, Curry felt some discomfort in his right ankle. After communicating with Ke Yan, he temporarily withdrew from the game.

Curry's ankle is the "key point among key points" that Key Yan protects, and there is absolutely no room for any problems. When he doesn't play, Korver is temporarily transferred to the starting lineup, partnering with Holiday in the backcourt.

The starting lineup of Holiday + Korver + James + West + Horford feels a bit like an "enhanced Cavaliers VS Magic". James feels that the teammates around him are better than his Cavaliers teammates last season.

But from the perspective of the effect of the game on the court, this improvement does not seem to be enough to help James defeat the Magic. This is also normal. It is not necessarily true that the Knicks are so strong that they can still beat the Eastern Conference even if they lose an All-Star.

The third level of strength, right?

Without the threat of Curry from beyond the three-point line and the lack of the second single RBI point, Howard and Josh Smith protect the frame and sweep, which is enough to limit the "one star and four shots" system led by James. The team's offense is completely

Being unable to open up the situation was also James' biggest frustration during his time with the Cavaliers, whether he was facing the Hawks or the Magic.

The final score was fixed at 96:112. The Knicks lost at home and suffered a bad start in 2011. At the same time, this was the team's second loss of the season.

"The muscles around Curry's ankle are a little sore, and the specific situation is still unknown. But this also reminds us that we must protect Curry in the following games," Ke Yan said.

In fact, before attending the press conference, Ke Yan had already received Curry's report, and it was not a big deal. However, Ke Yan was particularly concerned about Curry's ankle, so he decided to discuss with the medical team whether to let Curry go.

Take appropriate rest to allow the ankle muscles to recover optimally.

"During the 22-game winning streak, due to pressure from the outside world, I didn't let you rotate. But now that the winning streak has ended, I don't have any burden, and you don't have to carry any baggage! What's more, Holiday is back now, and the ball

The team has enough manpower," Ke Yan persuaded Curry.

After a simple communication, Ke Yan arranged for Curry to "rest" in the next two games against the Bucks and Bulls, and then return in the game against the Mavericks.
