Chapter 54 Thank you to the Nets veteran for your ‘assist’! (Please follow up)

"Ahhh! Hey, you're so awesome! You won all four games! And you even became the captain!"

On the evening of the 21st, after the party, in the room, Su Xing felt a little hopeless as he listened to Nina's praise!

Whoever wants to be this damn captain, he is really not interested!

Hey~

Although Su Xing had secretly made up his mind to find a way to prevent the team's record from falling during Ewing's departure, he really didn't want to be the captain!

In Su Xing's view, the Knicks still have great potential. Although Ewing is not here, as long as the tactics are good, the record can be maintained.

Moreover, Ewing, who was attending the party that night, also came to bring good news to his teammates, that is, he only needs to rest for 6 to 8 weeks to recover, and he is not in the worst case scenario.

At this time, Su Xing only regretted that the healing spell was not drawn in the system, otherwise he would have to give Ewing a shot.

He is definitely not afraid of being too tired, he really just wants his teammates to be in good shape, uh, healthy.

"Go to bed early!"

Su Xing helped Nina straighten her messy hair, kissed her on the forehead and said.

After saying that, Su Xing also went to bed first. Let’s wait until tomorrow to talk about the big things!

…

The next day, when he arrived at the training hall, Su Xing went to chat with the ‘miracle doctor’ McKechnie;

They now have Ewing, but they can't make any other cuts.

Hey, he was really heartbroken for the Knicks, a big family.

In fact, Nina was really good at handling things before. With her efforts, the Knicks team's medical team has expanded to a team of eleven people, including orthopedics, internal medicine, cardiologist, masseur, dermatologist

Doctors, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, podiatrists, surgeons, dentists and even psychiatrists!

This lineup is almost as big as a small hospital!

Moreover, these team doctors usually check the muscle status and joints of Knicks players' legs, ankles, hips, etc. many times.

Ewing's wrist condition was accurately predicted, which shows the strength of the Knicks team doctor!

Unfortunately, Van Gundy didn't listen to their opinions.

And Su Xing also forgot about this for a while...

He is just an encyclopedia of the NBA, not a humanoid computer.

After visiting the team's medical team, Su Xing came to the video room. Sure enough, Thibodeau's video maniac was also there.

Well, I'm still studying basketball videos, not anything colorful.

"Coach, since Patrick is not here, our offensive tactics need to be adjusted again."

Su Xing didn't talk nonsense, and after Thibodeau was free, he intervened forcefully.

Thibodeau scratched his head with a headache.

This is inevitable!

Especially since they have been able to produce a steady output of 20 points in every game before, with Oakley taking over as the starter, the decline in defense and rebounding of their starting lineup may not be so obvious, but the offense will definitely inevitably deteriorate!

"I'm going to let Houston and Larry Johnson pick and roll, but the opponent is expected to focus on defending the perimeter.

And Charles (Oakley)’s mid-range shooting success rate cannot be guaranteed.”

Halfway through Thibodeau's tactical adjustments, Su Xing denied himself without even opening his mouth.

Shaking his head, Thibodeau said, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Su Xing shook his head, he couldn't turn stone into gold.

Then, after Thibodeau sighed, Su Xing said: "Now it seems that I can only focus on three-point tactics, but it's a bit tricky."

Thibodeau shook his head again.

It seems like that's all it can do for now.

It was at this time that Su Xing said, "Actually, there is another strategy."

Thibodeau raised his eyes and looked at Su Xing. His meaning was very clear. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. There is...

"Ahem," Su Xing coughed dryly and said, "Actually, we can play defensive counterattack. This is also a method!"

Thibodeau rolled his eyes: "Jeff won't agree. He hates fast breaks."

Su Xing said sternly, "Does he have any other choice now? Coach, you can make suggestions, he will decide whether to use them or not."

Thibodeau nodded after thinking.

Also, now, they really have no better way.

…

That night, Madison Garden, Su Xing and his teammates met the challenge from the New Jersey Nets.

During this period, the Nets had not yet moved to Brooklyn, but New Jersey was not far from New York. The two cities were only separated by a river. They were neighbors, and many fans and media even called them Derby.

The Nets failed last season, with a poor record of 26 wins and 56 losses, but they have a lot of elite players, and the head coach is the famous NCAA University of Massachusetts coach John Calipari.

It's quite combative.

The Nets currently have 15 wins and 11 losses, which is not far from the Knicks' 18 wins and 8 losses.

"Ewing is not here, and the Knicks are just a paper tiger. Tonight, we will take away a victory on their territory in Madison Garden!"

Before the game, in the visiting team's locker room, Nets head coach John Calipari explained to the Nets players!

Last season, John Calipari's original plan for the management was to start winning, but as a result, he failed to achieve results and had to change course halfway.

This season, John Calipari knows that he must lead the team to achieve results, otherwise...

Even if he is a famous NCAA coach, he may be fired at any time.

Well...it's an old tradition in the NBA for coaches to take the blame.

In the home team locker room, everyone in the Knicks looked serious.

This game is the first game without Ewing. If they lose, other teams will definitely think that they are easy to bully, and it will be even more difficult then.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, so tonight, they must get their head started!

During the warm-up shooting, the Knicks generals were in a much better mood because the fans tonight cheered them significantly more than before.

Obviously Knicks fans also know the impact of Ewing's absence on the Knicks and want to encourage the Knicks players.

During the opening ceremony, listening to the cheers and cheers that were louder than before, Su Xing became more determined to win the game.

Even if it's not for Ewing, it's for these fans who cheer for him!

Soon, the big screen showed the starting lineups of the two teams.

Nets: Sam Cassell, Corey Kidders, Kendall Gill, Keith Van Horn and Jason Williams.

Knicks: Ward, Houston, Su Xing, Larry Johnson, Oakley.

The Nets' lineup is actually not weak on paper.

Cassell averaged 19.6 points, 8.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game this season, solid All-Star point guard statistics;

Kidders averaged 17.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game this season, with a three-point shooting rate of 41.8%. He is a 3D shooting guard with high scoring efficiency;

Gill's data has declined this season as he has lost possession of the ball. Last season he averaged 21.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game;

Van Horn, the guy who has been exaggerated as the "successor of Big Bird", is also really capable, currently averaging 19.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

It's just this year that I encountered Duncan's abnormality. Otherwise, in another season, Van Horn's probability of being named the best rookie with his data is not low.

As for Jason Williams... this guy with the same name as "White Chocolate" averaged 13.4 points and 13.5 rebounds per game this season. He is a well-known rebounding monster and a top blue-collar player!

Therefore, without Ewing, the Knicks' lineup on paper is really not as good as the Nets.

Of course, the lineup on paper cannot explain everything, but it can still reflect some things.

No, the Nets dominated the Knicks from the beginning.

Ewing's absence really has an all-round impact on the Knicks!

After the first quarter, the score on the court reached 26 to 19.

The Knicks' defense is not as good as before, but it's not much worse. It's mainly their offense, which is really eye-catching.

During the break between quarters, Thibodeau found Su Xing and said, "Hey, in the first four minutes of the second quarter, you can play fast breaks as you like!"

Su Xing felt happy, that guy Van Gundy had compromised!

That guy really never sheds tears every time he sees the coffin!

"Lineup, will there be a smaller one?"

Thibodeau nodded heavily.

Since you want to change, then don’t be coy!

Su Xing nodded excitedly, the next game will be fun!

Thank you Nets veteran for your ‘assist’, I will ‘repay’ you well!
