Basketball's most talented forward is on the left
Chapter 798 Hanging and beating is the driving force for our progress
Losing at home, the Knicks unexpectedly suffered their third loss of the season. Their current record is 34 wins and 3 points. The idea of surpassing the 95-96 Bulls' 37 wins and 3 losses, the best 40 games in history, is also shattered.
The best situation at present is to be the same as the best 40 games, tying it.
Although this is already very good and powerful, people can't help but feel a little regretful. After all, this is the closest the Bulls have come to surpassing the peak in 15 years.
Of course, this is human nature. Human desires are endless and difficult to satisfy. If someone told Knicks fans a few seasons ago that the team they support can win 34 of the first 40 games, then they will absolutely
I'll be so happy that I go crazy.
Some people will even generously say that you don’t need 34 games, just win 20 games!
At that time, the Knicks were still weak in the league. They were at the bottom of the league and could barely win 30 games in a whole season. So let alone winning 34 games in the first 40 games, even if they won 34 games in a whole season, it was already progress.
Already.
But now, the Knicks are the defending champions, with the strongest record in the league, momentum, and continuous winning streak. At this time, people will of course forget the predicament many years ago and put goals in front of the Knicks one after another.
.
Of course, being unable to surpass the Bulls is not a black point. Except for some fools who gloat about their misfortune, few people on the Internet use this matter to attack the Knicks. After all, if the Knicks cannot surpass the Bulls, they are useless, and they are further away from the Bulls.
What are the other teams?
Therefore, people generally focus on the game itself. For example, many people feel that there is a problem with the Knicks' tactics in this game. Some people feel that D'Antoni adjusts too slowly and is too stubborn. Some people feel that the Knicks' inside play is too poor.
, after all, Aldridge scored 29 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 68% from the field.
Well, these are indeed the problems of the Knicks in this game. So this game was average. He scored 28 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. However, Zuo Li, who had a season-high 5 turnovers, accepted it calmly.
criticism from the outside world, and said frankly: "The Knicks did not play well in this game, the Trail Blazers were the better team, and they really deserved to win."
"We were too stubborn in the first half. We just wanted to defeat them quickly with offense. We forgot that we won not only rely on offense. We made some adjustments in the second half, but the Blazers played very well. He allowed us to chase
Failed."
"However, being beaten is also the motivation for us to continue to improve. We will sum up after we go back."
This game can indeed be called a defeat. Even though the loss in the end didn't look like much, the entire situation was in the hands of the Trail Blazers.
Don't forget that the Trail Blazers are currently full of injured players, can play much less than the Knicks, and their bench is not deep enough. They can still play such a good offense and defense under such unfavorable circumstances, which is indeed worthy of respect.
However, according to the comparison of strength, the Knicks did lose a game that they should not have lost.
Moreover, before that, of course the Knicks also want to surpass the Bulls. Even if they cannot reach the height of 72 wins in the end, they still hope to surpass them at every stage.
But it is a pity that this opportunity has been lost now.
This game also served as a reminder to the Knicks: Don't think you are safe.
Yes, basketball is round, and the situation on the court changes rapidly. Being blindly arrogant will only accelerate the process of losing money.
At the same time, others are not idle when you are making progress. There are no weaklings in the alliance. Looking down on others is the beginning of your overturn.
Therefore, after the game, the Knicks did not disband directly. The entire team worked overtime and returned to the locker room to watch the video and summarize.
After summarizing, D'Antoni also formulated a new plan and will conduct actual combat exercises in the training session the next morning.
Zuo Li took the initiative to take responsibility: "In the last game, I played too high and did not change my playing style in time. This is my problem."
"Guys, the team's offensive system has been carefully studied by all teams after last year's championship journey. All teams determined to compete for the championship will regard us as the first goal, from the star player to the water fountain.
Guardians, where everyone likes to play in which fade way, it’s all on every coach’s blackboard.”
"So, guys, I know how difficult it is to defend the championship, so we need to work harder."
"This loss also tells us that everyone wants to beat us, and if we don't want to lose, we need to do better."
How to do it better?
In addition to adjusting his mentality, Zuo Li also took the lead.
The next day there was a back-to-back game against the Jazz. The Knicks did not cancel the morning training session, which was already an exception, but Zuo Li still chose to come to the arena an hour early in the morning for additional training.
When most of the players arrived at the arena, Zuo Li was already covered in sweat.
"So, what reason do we have for not working hard?" Curry shrugged, bumped into Danny Green, and quickly entered training mode.
The training effect on this day was very good. The impetuous atmosphere caused by winning streaks and running and gunning can no longer be seen. Everyone played very steadily.
And in the evening, the Jazz, who had come all the way, never expected that the Knicks would play so seriously against their team without Boozer.
The Jazz are in very bad shape this season. Since Deron and Boozer formed the new Utah duo and formed a team with Kirilenko, Okur and other players, they have left a very deep impression on Chinese fans, but in reality
His performance in the league can only be described as average.
The best result was in the Western Conference Finals, where he lost to the Spurs and missed the Finals. Tsk, looking at it this way, he is actually a lot better than Paul. After all, Deron has already touched the floor of the conference finals.
But in recent seasons, the best result was the Western Conference semifinals, and it was difficult to improve. Everyone could see that with this lineup, the Jazz's potential had almost reached its end, which is why Boozer left.
It's not Boozer's fault. Firstly, he is getting older and will be completely useless if he doesn't go out to chase the championship. Secondly, consecutive years of failure have made the Jazz lose patience. Instead of lingering, it is better to trade out valuable players as soon as possible.
, giving space for newcomers in the team to flow out.
The Jazz's original intention was to trade Boozer and then build a team with Deron as the center. However, they did not expect that there would be a major disagreement between Deron and the team's meritorious coach Sloan.
It is foreseeable that the Jazz have a poor record this season. Although they have introduced puzzle reinforcements such as Laga Bell and Al Jefferson during the offseason, Boozer's vacancy is not so easy to fill, so currently 38
After the game, they were just outside the playoff gates.
In fact, this is normal. Isn't it the same with Paul next door? He just shows up badly, signs up in the offseason, and then comes back next season and it's over.
But for some unknown reason, Deron was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of the team, which directly led him to target head coach Sloan.
Maybe he saw that everyone around him was making progress, so he either signed up for a team or strengthened his team, so he just gave up that there was no one around him who could fight, so he sent his old partner away.
So the relationship between Deron and Sloan is very tense this season.
