Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

For Mike D'Antoni, the issues he's thinking about right now are a bit more complicated.

It stands to reason that the team is now ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, and there is a high probability that the playoffs will be stable. Although they are not much ahead of the Pacers and Bucks, they are likely to lose in the next two games except the Spurs and Lakers. Other opponents are not very strong.

It is also possible to catch up with the sixth-place 76ers, but the margin of victory is a bit large. There are four games, and it is not entirely up to the Knicks to catch up.

D'Antoni still has to consider a problem to ensure that there is no problem in qualifying for the playoffs, and that is who he will face in the first round of the playoffs.

Some time ago, the Celtics played a downturn. After losing the airport game, they were not only overtaken by the Heat, but also distanced themselves from the Bulls who were at the top of the list.

Now the top four in the East, the Bulls record is the only one, if nothing else, they will most likely be the first in the East.

The Heat and the Celtics are relatively close, who will be the second, who will be the third, hard to say.

The fourth-ranked Magic team has some gaps with them, but it is far ahead of the fifth-ranked Eagles. Basically, the fourth-ranked team has not run.

So for D'Antoni, how to pick a relatively easy opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the most important thing he should consider at the moment.

The playoffs are coming to an end, and perhaps the "tolerant" New York fans did not expect the Knicks to enter the playoffs at the beginning, and even the coaching staff of the Knicks did not think so.

But the Knicks miraculously played a super streak, basically no problem entering the postseason.

Of course, people are not satisfied, or in other words, they are all pursuing.

After entering the playoffs, is that the end? Of course not, I definitely want to break through the first round!

However, this matter needs to be analyzed in detail.

Although the Knicks played a streak against the top four in the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the previous winning streak, it does not mean that they will have an advantage in playing against these four teams.

The real situation is that if it comes to the playoffs, the Knicks will not be able to play against any of the top four teams in the East, and even fall behind in terms of paper strength.

What's more, the playoffs are played in a best-of-seven-inning system. Whether it is the personnel reserve, the integrity of the lineup, or even the playoff experience, the Knicks are all behind.

However, even so, there are differences among the four teams.

Obviously, if you want to choose an opponent from these four teams, then the best opponent must be the Magic team. Compared with the other three teams, the single-core Magic team is indeed a lot weaker.

But the problem is that the Knicks have to play fifth in the Eastern Conference to meet the Magic, because it is so far behind the current fifth-placed Eagles that it is almost impossible.

excluded first.

Then there are only three remaining potential opponents, the Bulls, the Heat and the Celtics.

On the surface, the Celtics are ranked third, and the team is older overall, and the Knicks have a record of 2 wins and 2 losses against them this season, perhaps the most likely to win.

But they were actually the Eastern Conference champions last season, and they reached Game 7 in the Finals!

The combat effectiveness can not be said to be weak, and sometimes they did not play well in the regular season. It is very likely that they did not do their best to save the state of the veterans.

Not to mention, they're probably the most playoff-experienced of these teams.

As for the Heat, this is obviously the last thing D'Antoni wants to encounter. Almost 80% of the media and experts are optimistic about the Heat winning the championship. Although they have various problems in the regular season, the super talent is piled up there.

Ailang in the regular season, the Heat who got serious in the playoffs, may be quite scary.

In the end, only the Bulls were left.

Well, although they are the first in the league, they don't have much experience in the postseason.

Moreover, the basis of the team is defense. Although Ross on the offensive end is very defiant, if he only relies on his single core, the playoffs are also the easiest to target.

Compared to the Celtics, the Bulls seem to be easier to target, and it is easier to pick the Bulls, just make sure they are the eighth in the East.

But if you go to choose the Celtics, there are too many uncertain factors. The record of the Celtics and the Heat is too close, and no one is sure who can be second or third.

A careless, the opponent in the first round became the Heat.

In this way, D'Antoni's game strategy is to ensure that the Knicks can enter the playoffs in the remaining games, and try to get the eighth position in the Eastern Conference!

To be honest, this kind of point control is not so simple, especially when there are two teams chasing behind.

But for a team with the strength of the Knicks, it may not be difficult.

In short, D'Antoni has adjusted his thinking. The next two most difficult games, the Spurs and the Lakers, will be played first.

It is best to win, after all, the playoffs are stable, and it is not easy to lose in the following games, just rest the main players.

But if you lose, that's fine, just be more serious when you play weaker teams later.

Time quickly came to the night of the game, and the Spurs were low-key even a little like an NBA team. There was basically no preview about them before the game, and there was no lace news.

Unlike the Heat and Lakers, the championship favorites, the entire page is devoted to reports on these two teams, and James and Kobe have also become the most discussed players.

Even the Thunder, a powerful youth army in the west, has a lot of traffic, and the meme of Durant's bath water can be popular for several days.

As the No. 1 Spurs in the Western Conference, the reports on them are almost invisible.

It is also the first time that an NBA team can be so low-key!

It is true that those teams with the lowest record all year round will occasionally become popular because of high-ranked players.

For a team like the Spurs, their popularity probably comes from being the opponent of a certain traffic team.

This time, too, as one of the hottest teams in the league recently, the Knicks with 15 consecutive victories, the topic of them is increasing every day, and even has a tendency to surpass the Heat and the Lakers.

And it was under such circumstances that the fans suddenly realized: "So the Spurs are the No. 1 in the West?!"

Behind the low-key, there is actually a serious lack of heat in the global market.

As one of the top three Spurs in Texas, the size of San Antonio is far smaller than Houston and Dallas in the same state, which is the fundamental reason why the Spurs are not popular

Coupled with the team's pursuit of stable team play, it is even more difficult to absorb fans from other regions.

Soon, players from both sides appeared on the court.

[The Knicks start]

Point Guard: Bai Feng

Shooting guard: JR Smith

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire

Center: Ronny Turiaf

[The Spurs start]

Point Guard: Tony Parker

Shooting Guard: George Hill

Small Forward: Richard Jefferson

Power Forward: Tim Duncan

Center: Antonio McDyess

The Spurs players looked very low-key, wearing their black away jerseys, walking on the field one by one, expressionless.

Duncan, Parker, George Hill, and even Jefferson, who had some passion in the Nets before, seemed to be assimilated after they came to the Spurs.

The big screen at the scene gave the Spurs a close-up facial close-up, which seemed to show the fans how serious they were!

Then, right after that, the screen changed, and it was actually given to Bai Feng!

At this time, Bai Feng was exactly the same as the Spurs players, his face was expressionless, even a little serious.

I don't know, I thought Bai Feng was also a Spurs player!

I have to say that the director of the scene is really doing things, and this scene also makes the fans feel quite funny.

"Hahaha, have you seen our Bai Feng, he is exactly the same as the Spurs, this director is doing something!"

"Bah ah ah, who is like them, look at our handsome face Bai Feng, how can it be compared to the idiots of the Spurs?"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, this close-up... But then again, the Spurs are the most stable team in the entire league, Bai Feng and they are quite similar in characteristics, I don't know what the situation will be when playing such a team. Anyway, looking forward to it.”

"To be honest, I don't feel good fighting."

"That's not necessarily true. The Spurs are not invincible. Let's watch the game."

As the referee blew the whistle and the game started, Stoudemire jumped up early in the first jump ball with Duncan and violated the law. The referee warned him once. If he violated the rules again, the Spurs would get the ball.

The second jump ball, Jr. was not winning the ball for the Knicks.

After the ball was passed to Bai Feng, in his mind, on the spread out transparent court model, all players seemed to be able to display on it and move in real time.

And Bai Feng, you can see the whole situation from the perspective of God!

This looks like a bullshit plug-in, but Bai Feng has researched, maybe, this is not the case.

During yesterday's team training, Bai Feng deliberately tried the latest feature that he unlocked after spending a "huge sum" of 30,000 stable values.

This new function called [Field Perception] is a figurative "chessboard" that exists in Bai Feng's consciousness.

The players on the field are the "chess pieces".

The amazing thing is that Bai Feng can see, or perceive the subtle changes that occur in any corner of the field from the perspective of God.

Even in places that would normally be blocked from sight, he could "see" clearly.

This allows Bai Feng to have a better and clearer judgment on the situation on the court!

At the beginning, Bai Feng also thought that this was a plug-in, a plug-in that played with a view from the top of the court.

However, Bai Feng soon discovered that this "God's Perspective Map" does not work properly all the time!

For example, in yesterday's training session, when the opposing JR Smith used an unconventional defensive option and blocked Bai Feng's sight, the blocked part was missing from the "map", and it was displayed again after a while. .

In this way, the keen and intelligent Bai Feng quickly figured out what was going on!

In fact, this is not a plug-in. The real function of [Field Perception] is to visualize Bai Feng's correct and reasonable conscious judgment.

For example, when a player is on the field, there will be some blind spots due to viewing angles and being blocked.

So how to judge the situation of these blind spots? If you can't see, you must use consciousness!

A player's consciousness is determined by game experience on the one hand, and ball quotient on the other hand.

IQ, that's an absolute talent, a player like Steve Nash, he has a very high IQ.

So you can often see him on the court passing a lot of unbelievable no-look passes, behind-the-back passes, behind-the-head passes...  

In a tense game, Nash couldn't see what was happening in those blind spots, but he could accurately judge through his consciousness, thus making seemingly bold decisions.

But in fact it is a very unexpected choice for the opponent.

In fact, Bai Feng's IQ is also very high, but he doesn't have much game experience.

As the season progresses, Bai Feng's consciousness has become stronger and stronger. Sometimes he has a feeling on the court that even if he can't see the situation behind him, he always feels that Xiao Si is following him by intuition. In a certain position, as long as he passes the ball back, he will definitely be able to receive it.

After making such a judgment, Bai Feng resolutely tried to pass it on without looking at anyone.

Sure enough, Stoudemire was there!

This is Bai Feng's consciousness.

Now, these consciousnesses are embodied.

As for JR's unconventional defensive choices in the training game, Bai Feng has never encountered such a situation. If he has no experience in dealing with it, it is not easy to judge what the position of the missing field of vision is. Therefore, the representation of that area will be there. "."The chessboard" disappeared for a while.

Now, Bai Feng has basically understood the true effect of this "chessboard", and he feels that he can use it proficiently.

On the field, he will try for the first time.

The Knicks were attacking. Bai Feng was holding the ball from beyond the three-point line. After he called Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted to the basket!

In the past, Bai Feng rarely made such quick breakthroughs after pick-and-roll. One was because he would lose his defensive position, and the other was a complicated point guard theory.

As a point guard, the closer you are to the rim, the more vision you're missing!

If you stand outside the top of the arc of the three-point line, you can almost grasp the overall situation and make reasonable judgments according to the situation.

This is also the reason why Bai Feng does not choose to leave this area most of the time.

But now, the situation is different. With the "chessboard", even if Bai Feng rushes into a deeper area, as long as there is no situation on the field outside the scope of his game experience, the overall situation is still under his control. among.

Although Bai Feng was facing the basket at this time, in his consciousness, he could feel Duncan's pursuit and defense behind him.

On the other side, Stoudemire began to keep up.

From the perspective of the fans, Bai Feng suddenly accelerated his breakthrough, and it seemed that he was going to attack the basket.

But Duncan who was behind him immediately reacted and followed. If Bai Feng made a layup, with Duncan's defensive ability, he would definitely be called to eat hot pot.

Seeing this scene, the fans couldn't help feeling for Bai Feng.

"Pass it on, Bai Feng, or you will be covered."

"It's miserable. Bai Feng is about to take off. Duncan must be sent to the hot pot."

Why did Bai Feng suddenly play like this today, isn't this his style?!"

However, just when the fans were extremely worried, Bai Feng, who had already taken off with the ball, did not choose to lay up.

As if he had eyes on the back of his head, after jumping up, he even used a dashing back pass, which was passed directly into the arms of Siu Si who was on the move, impartial.

Stoudemire was very comfortable to receive, and he didn't even need to slow down.

Excitement, excitement, aftertaste...

Xiao Si seemed to feel that he was familiar at this moment, and countless tastes came to his heart.

For a split second, he felt as if he had returned to the Suns back then, and it seemed that Steve Nash was passing the ball to him.

But Xiao Si knew that it was not, it was Bai Feng!

He was very surprised, how did Bai Feng, who has always been stable, use such a combination at the start today?

And the Knicks fans on the sidelines were dumbfounded!

"I'll go, break through without reading memorabilia?! Are you sure it's Bai Feng?"

"Mass, seeing No. 13 behind him and Stoudemire scoring goals, I seem to see Steve Nash.

"Is this true or false, Bai Feng actually started to play like this?"
