NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 253: This is the playoffs! The Knicks are in the quagmire!

Jiang Chao doesn’t even want to look at the scoring champion, steal leader, etc., because these are too pursuit of extreme statistics. It’s not necessary, only balance is enough, because balance will not easily lead to the pot of greed, unless you want to pursue average per game.

3 pairs.

For example, the big white edge he is paying attention to this year is the one who will always dominate the shot-blocking list for future generations, but is it useful?

Jiang Chao will not pay bonuses to his players based on these individual statistics in the regular season.

Even if he has a plus-minus, he won't serve it. To get a high plus-minus, it's actually quite simple. He can hand the ball steadily to his teammates, reduce dribbling and shots, and the plus-minus will naturally go up.

And this thing is a vicious cycle. Now everyone is given out the bonus of fourth place in the regular season, which is the overall honor. If individual data rankings are given out, there is no guarantee that the players will be united.

This will lead to some players going crazy for data next season, and winning will be forgotten.

In later generations, there will be bosses who will specify in their contracts triple-double rewards and rewards for the number of three-pointers made, or the top scorer, the top scorer, and so on.

These are just statistics. This kind of thing is meaningless and does not bring glory to him as the boss.

Look at Westbrook, his style of play is so deformed, he can't make empty baskets just to get assists, it's ridiculous.

Later, there was Hield, a shooter. In order to complete the task of scoring as many three-pointers in a season, he made crazy three-pointers when the Kings finally made it to the playoffs. As a result, opponents had experience in guarding him.

, crazily shrink him by three points and that's it.

Therefore, Jiang Chao never engages in these defined rewards, and makes them specific in the form of tasks.

He prefers easter egg-type rewards. It’s not like he doesn’t watch the game. He sees who plays well and who plays poorly.

Giving players a greater sense of surprise will make them more motivated.

Of course, you can't say that the regulations of the Kings management are wrong. Under special conditions, players can still be encouraged to take brave shots. In the era of small ball, more three-pointers must be shot. DeRozan will not be unable to practice three-pointers if he has this contract.

Points.

&……

The first round of the playoffs begins.

The song "Wele to Newyock" rang out in the Madison Square Garden Arena. This is the home music given to the Knicks by Knicks star fan Swift. Of course, everyone also knows that she wrote it to Jiang Chao.

And Swifty was also present today.

In addition to all the stars, Knicks legends Ewing and Alan Houston are also here. It’s been a long time since the Knicks made it to the playoffs, and they still play Riley. It’s a must-see.

But in fact, the leaders of both teams didn't say anything before the game. Wade and the Knicks were not from the same group. The Knicks were already dead when Wade led the Heat, and he had no grudges with the Knicks players.

But you have to do it if you encounter it. I believe Riley and the others also told the Heat players about the feud between the two sides.

Watching this crucial first game from a private room, I stopped even shouting, focusing on every moment.

Either put out the fire or be burned to death, it all depends on this first scene.

Jiang Chao’s entire industry chain is paying attention.

But the result of this game was very skinny, 92:83.

The Heat let the Knicks know what real playoff intensity is. Jiang Chao and the others were worried to death. The Knicks just had no touch, all members were misfiring, plus 19 turnovers, how could they win???

Wade led the team to victory with 28 points, and no one in the Knicks' defense could guard him!

Youku was so guarded by Chalmers that his head hurt, and he made 1 of 9 shots from the field. Rookie Harden obviously softened a little after facing the best shot-blocking guard in the league. He made 3 of 13 shots and 4 free throws, and the number of shots was still relatively low.

Turk Derudo is not in charge of the organization.

The Knicks' highest scorer was Okur with 15 points. Sure enough, in the playoffs, only veterans can be relied upon.

After the game, the pressure from public opinion was full. Is this the fourth place in the Eastern Conference??

The entire audience was overwhelmed by the Heat's 8-man rotation!

What’s the use of your marshal’s 12-person rotation???

Yi Jianlian and Ibaka were not able to adapt to the intense intensity of the playoffs.

Wade’s post-game interview directly challenged all Knicks rookies:

"Rookies, welcome to the playoffs!"

…

1 day later.

g2.

Jiang Chao told the players in the locker room to stay calm. Even if you are behind at the beginning, don't be carried away by the rhythm. This way your breathing will never reach the rhythm that the Knicks want to play.

The result of the recent analysis by the coaching staff is that it is too difficult for the players to adapt to the intensity of the opponent's military training. Riley has trained this team like an army, and they need to improve their tactics and find a breakthrough point!

The breakthrough point is to let Curry and Harden, who are weak defensively, use them separately. They can no longer start at the same time to allow the opponent to find a breakthrough.

Jiang Chao also said that he must treat the Heat's lineup with special attention. Their intensity is really full, and every one of them is a muscle monster. The Knicks cannot think about attacking them and defeating them. After all, the players' playoff experience is still there.

For example, Curry is still quite obsessed with shooting, but he doesn't know that his dribbling, breakthrough and passing are his biggest trump card. You have to rely on the game to find the feeling for this.

"g2, regain the position!"

Turk Drew, who lost at home, had a murderous look in his eyes and waved his hands to signal everyone not to be discouraged!

The Knicks changed their starting lineup, with Beverley starting at point guard and Curry on the bench!

The Heat's starting lineup remains unchanged.

Jermaine O'Neal, Michael Beasley, James Jones, Dwyane Wade, Mario Chalmers.

Stevens didn't sit down the whole time. He just said to the players, "Stuck Wade!"

The backup shooting guard is Matthews coming to defend Wade, which means that the person Wade has been facing is Beverley or Matthews. The two strongest shields in the Knicks' defense line are coming to deal with Wade!

This suddenly made the scene much more heated. Beverley was on defense all over the place and even took 5 fouls without taking a step back. That's what he does anyway, he is tough! He stood up even though he was dunked.

Guard!

Matthews just uses his strong body to follow up. He is now a little better defensively than Danny Green, and he was born in a slum field, and his offensive game is more ferocious than Danny Green now.

Wade only scored 18 points in the game. Harden and Curry scored 13 points, 7 assists and 14 points, 5 assists respectively after separation. Turk Drew still played fully, leading the Knicks to come back with 17 points and 8 assists at 88:79.

city!!

1:1!

Both sides have full offensive and defensive capabilities, and they have figured out all the tricks.

Fans all over the world are excited. This is the first such a tangled matchup in the first round. After all, the fourth and fifth teams are really close in terms of strength.

Just kidding, Wade is at least the 2006 championship FMVP, while the Knicks are nothing but a general, and the strongest Turk Drew is just a starting player in last year's finals...

…

"Then it depends on the x factors of the two teams."

What Jiang Chao saw was shocking. Sure enough, the playoffs more than ten years ago were at 70 or 80. The referees were very loose, there were many muscle collisions, and the physical energy was exhausted very quickly. It was much more difficult than imagined.

.

The Knicks, who seem to have a very comprehensive lineup, can only rely on these five or six players in the playoffs. Other players like Ibaka and the United Arab Emirates don't have much chance at all. James Jones and O'Neal Jr. are quick-footed, plus

Substitute Haslemo made various small moves inside, but the Knicks made no sound inside.

The success rate of Jiang Chao's plan before the season was too low. O'Neal Jr. is also O'Neal. His inside offensive skills are not weak, and the muscular men of the Heat have been covering the Knicks defenders for the next three.

The three-point shooting percentage has also dropped, and Okur is supporting the Knicks' three-point shooting percentage.

Liu Yan: "Can't Ah Lian be taken out to shoot more? I saw that his shooting in training games was very accurate."

Jiang Chao shook his head: "A-Lian's shooting is only suitable for the icing on the cake in a downwind game. Now I am more worried about someone breaking out in the opponent. The problem of our front line has not yet appeared."

Liu Yan: "Dr. Carter said that Turk Drew's lumbar spine injury has no signs of recurrence and he is doing fine."

"Even if he's at his peak, he can't guard the Heat's forwards."

"Ah!! What to do!"

"Let's see what we can do."

"Yes, let's see if I can get it out for you. I see you've been under a lot of pressure lately." Liu Yan gently unbuttoned Jiang Chao's pants.

"Haha, it's okay. Public opinion didn't criticize us. This kind of competition is enjoyable for the audience."

g3!

What Jiang Chao was most worried about appeared.

The Heat, which originally relied only on Wade's top-kick offense, changed their offensive strategy after Spoelstra's timeout in the second quarter.

Coach Spoelstra also saw the Knicks’ weakest point after two games, the forward line!

In the away game in Miami, the Knicks encountered their first wave of attacks. They were outscored 20:4 in the second quarter, and the leader of this wave of attacks was Beasley.

Heat starting forward Beasley proved in this game why he is the man to beat Durant!

During the attack wave, he singled out the Knicks' entire defense line and scored 13 points and 3 assists. He finished the game with 32 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds, completely overwhelming the Knicks' front line!!

As the second overall pick in the NBA in 2008, Beasley is one year younger than Curry this year.

Before participating in the draft, he was said to have James-level physical talent, running fast, jumping high, and having top explosive power.

Durant also revealed in an interview that year that Beasley was the only player to crush him in a one-on-one.

This year, he even scored 42 points in a single game against the Kings, sharing a lot of outside offensive pressure with Wade.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Knicks 101:88 at home, leading 2-1!!

The roar of the fans at the scene made the entire Knicks team understand what is the fan morale that a playoff team should have. It is not like Madison Square. Although there are many fans, they are too mixed and the fan group has not been fully cultivated.

"Damn, there's no solution."

"Eastern Durant is not a boaster."

Sean Marks crushed the Coke cup in the audience. Beasley is 2.08 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.16 meters. Except for the wingspan being 9cm less than Durant, all the data are basically the same as Adu, and he has

The ability to break through quickly with the ball, and no one in the current Knicks backcourt can match him.

This is the consequence of the outbreak of the

"There is no way, the European players are a bit slow."

After the game, when the Knicks held a meeting in a Miami hotel, defensive coach Clifford did not blame him. He had tried his best to train the forward defense.

But the reality is that Gallinari and Turk Drew are about the same height and wingspan, but they can't keep up with their pace.

Big Q can keep up with his body and speed, but his physical fitness and height cannot. He can guard Beasley for three or four rounds, but what about the whole game???

The most important thing is that Big Q can't be on the court with Turk Drew and Gallinelli. He basically has no three-pointers on the court. The opponent can let him shoot. In this way, the Knicks' forward shooting ability and organization that cause headaches to the opponent will be eliminated.

Gone.

Therefore, it can be said that the Knicks did not respond in time in this game. If they had used the big Q in time to kill and follow up, they would have been able to fight to the end. When they finally wanted to break the pot, Beasley had already fully opened up.

It's equivalent to saying that Beasley defeated the three Knicks strikers by himself!

Over there, Durant praised him from the air. He also completely destroyed the Spurs' forward line.

Moreover, because Beasley opened up the game, the Knicks could not rashly double-team Wade. Wade also scored 22 points, and the two people in the backcourt scored 54 points. Unless the Knicks have two players who can score explosively,

It just needs to be stronger than this.

But obviously Haku has not grown to this point. His hands are weak when holding the ball. This is not a matter of strength, but entirely a matter of mentality and experience. He is surrounded by the noise made by Heat fans wearing exactly the same clothes. Can his skills not be deformed?

This is their first playoff road trip.

Even Jiang Chao's palms were sweaty, let alone the rookies playing on the court.

In fact, if Jiang Chao were on the court, he would directly guard Beverley against Beasley, just to prevent you from feeling better and to kill you.

Agents and Italian guns are actually more suitable for the power forward position in the small ball era. Dribbling forwards like Beasley and Durant are actually the least afraid of those taller than them, because those taller than them can be dribbled and played by them at will.

On the contrary, they are more afraid of being blinded by someone who keeps pestering them, but it is of no use in front of the Heat. The Heat also have Wade and Chalmers. They still have space after switching defenses, and everyone can do it in front of Heibei.

Yes, as long as the shooting feeling comes, Heibei can only watch, which is a pros and cons.

"Sure enough, in the playoffs, the shortcomings will be infinitely magnified."

Jiang Chao hugged Liu Yan in the hotel, and the two watched the replay of the game together. When he saw Curry being bullied from the three-point line to the inside by Wade, Jiang Chao was furious. Liu Yan quickly lowered her head to relieve Jiang Chao's anger.

Attention, she didn't want to see her junior have a headache.

In her mind, her junior is always the man who is unfazed by favors and humiliations and has everything under control.

"Hey, after all, it wasn't me who fought, or I thought too well."

Both forward and inside, the Knicks are really exhausted now.

Youth Storm, who was very good in the regular season, was useless in front of the Heat's physical strength!

The opponent is a super giant known as Lightning!

"His grandma, g4, issued a death order. Insiders must take decisive action. Don't let me see any hesitation again!"

Here Jiang Chao is still getting angry, but over there Coach Stevens is angry for the first time, and it’s the Knicks insider!!!

It doesn't matter if he was penetrated from the outside. At least he tried hard to defend. If Beasley was so accurate every game, he would be a super player long ago.

But it’s unreasonable that the Knicks’ inside line has been stretched for three consecutive games!!!

Even the fans noticed it and gave the Knicks insiders a term called hesitant players, from David Lee to Okur, to Ibaka and the United Arab Emirates, including new aid Armstrong.

After receiving the ball, they all like to try hesitant fake moves. At first, Okur's opponents will take a few hits, but as time goes by, their opponents will see that you are hesitant and want to find an absolute open space before taking action.

But where are there so many absolutely open spots in the playoffs???

"The playoffs are not the same game as the regular season. Some of the help defenses that were given up in the regular season will definitely be chased by someone in the playoffs. Therefore, you insiders also want to be too good, and you can be half-open or even get stuck.

The shoulders are just fine.”

As veterans, Dayao and Okur personally gave guidance to the insiders who had their heads lowered.

Okur's hesitation is normal. He is not the type to rush inside, and he will not choose his least reliable scoring method.

But Arab League, David Lee, and Ibaka cannot hesitate.

"Young man, you have to attack when you have to. This is the playoffs!"

"If it's 3-1, do you think there's still a chance for a comeback?" Stevens' hair is a little bald. Recently, all the Knicks have turned off their mobile phones because they care too much, and caring is confusing.

On the contrary, they need people who scold them more, but the fans really don't scold them.

Why are you scolding the Heat when they are a bunch of old guys? I hope that's the end of it!

After Jiang Chao sucked the beautiful senior sister out wonderfully, he took the time to glance at the Magic vs. Hawks game next door. Howard had 24 points and 20 rebounds... Look at how people play in the paint, it was like thunder on the ground...

Envious.

Including when the Cavaliers next door beat the Bobcats, even if O'Neal couldn't jump, it was because of his body being hit hard. It's not like the current Knicks' inside line, which relies a little too much on the outside line.

It's okay if the outside defense is blown. At least the Italian guns are confident and their shots are decisive, but they can't be timid inside!

The most critical rebounding and internal defense rely on the inside players!

"Brother Li!! Can you be tougher!!"

…

g4!

Miami fan newspaper:

"Can the mired Knicks launch a desperate counterattack, or will the Heat win 2 games at home and go to New York with match point??"

International Herald:

"The Knicks are no longer the Knicks they were a few years ago. I believe in the team's resilience!"
