The happy talker of the NBA

Chapter 54 Thank you Nets veteran for the 'assist'! (Seek to follow up)

"Ahhhh! Hey, you are so good! You have won all four games! You have also become the captain!"

On the evening of the 21st, after the party, in the room, Su Xing, who was listening to Nina's praise, felt hopeless!
He is really not interested in being the damn captain whoever he likes!
Hey ~
Although Su Xing secretly made up his mind to find a way to prevent the team's record from dropping while Ewing was away, he really didn't want to be the captain!

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

Moreover, Ewing, who was at the party tonight, also came to bring good news to his teammates, that is, he can recover after only 6 to 8 weeks of rest, and the worst situation is not reached.

At this time, Su Xing only hated that the system didn't draw a healing spell, 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 neat, er, healthy.

"Go to bed early!"

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

After finishing speaking, Su Xing also went to bed first, it's a big deal, let's talk about it tomorrow!

……

The next day, when he came to the training hall, Su Xing first chatted with the 'miracle doctor' McKinney;
They already have the attrition of Ewing now, but there can be no other attrition.

Hey, for the sake of the Knicks, he really broke his heart.

In fact, Nina was really good at handling things before. Thanks to her efforts, the Knicks team medical team has expanded to an 11-member team, including orthopedics, internal medicine, cardiology, masseurs, and dermatologists. Doctor, Ophthalmologist, ENT, Podiatrist, Surgery, Dentist and even Psychiatrist!

This lineup is almost catching up with a small hospital!

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

Ewing's wrist condition was accurately predicted, which shows the strength of the Knicks team doctor!
But Van Gundy didn't listen to their opinions.

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

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

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

Well, still studying basketball videos, not anything with color.

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

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

Thibodeau scratched his head with some headaches.

It's a must!
Especially because of the stable output of 20 points in each game before, Oakley topped the starting lineup, their defense and rebounding in the starting lineup may not be so obvious, but the offense will inevitably deteriorate!
"I'm going to put Houston and Larry Johnson on the pick-and-roll, but they're supposed to be on the perimeter.

And Charles (Oakley)'s mid-range shooting success rate is not guaranteed. "

Halfway through Thibodeau's tactical adjustment, he denied himself without Su Xing speaking.

Shaking his head, Thibodeau said, "What good method do you have?"

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 feels a bit awkward."

Thibodeau shook his head again.

Seems like it's the only way for now.

At this time, Su Xing said, "Actually, there is another strategy."

Thibodeau raised his eyes and looked at Su Xing, the meaning was obvious, if you have something to say quickly, there is...

"Ahem," Su Xing said after a dry cough, "Actually, we can play defensive counterattacks, and this is also a way!"

Thibodeau rolled his eyes: "Jeff will not agree, he hates fast breaks the most."

Su Xing said sternly, "Does he have other options now? Coach, you can make suggestions, and he will decide whether it is necessary or not."

Thibodeau nodded after thinking about it.

Also, now, they really have no better way.

……

That night, at 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 separated by a river. They were considered neighbors, and many fans and the media even called them Derby.

The Nets did poorly last season, with a poor record of 26 wins and 56 losses, but they have a lot of elite players in the team, and the head coach is the famous NCAA University of Massachusetts coach John Calipari. It is 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, the Knicks are just a paper tiger. Tonight, we will take away a victory at Madison Garden on their territory!"

Before the game, in the locker room of the visiting team, Nets head coach John Calipari confessed to the Nets players!
Last season, John Calipari's plan for the management was to start to win, but he failed to achieve results, so he had to divert halfway and play badly.

This season, John Calipari knew that he had to lead the team to achieve results, otherwise...

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

Hmm... It's an old tradition that NBA coaches take the blame.

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

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

Everything is difficult at the beginning, so tonight, they must open their heads!

When warming up and shooting, the Knicks generals were in a much better mood, because the fans cheered them more than ever tonight.

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 louder cheers and cheers than usual, Su Xing became more determined to win the game.

Even if it's not for Ewing, it's for the fans who cheered him on!

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

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

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

The Nets, on paper, are actually not weak.

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

基德尔斯本赛季场均能得到17.2分4.7个篮板1.7次抢断，三分命中率高达41.8%，是得分效率很高的3D得分后卫；

Gill's ball possession reduction data has declined this season, and he averaged 21.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game last season;
Van Horn, the guy who has been exaggerated as "Big Bird's successor", is also really capable, currently averaging 19.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

Also this year, I ran into Duncan's abnormality, otherwise the probability of Van Horn's data being named the best rookie in another season 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.
Therefore, without Ewing, the Knicks' lineup on paper is really not as good as the Nets.

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

No, the Nets played against the Knicks from the beginning.

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

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

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

During the break between quarters, Thibodeau approached Su Xing and said, "Hey, 4 minutes before the second quarter, fast break is up to you!"

Su Xing was overjoyed, that guy Van Gundy compromised!

That guy really doesn't cry every time he sees the coffin!
"Lineup, the smaller one?"

Thibodeau nodded heavily.

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

Su Xing nodded excitedly, the next game will be exciting!
Thank you for the 'assist' from the old iron of the Nets, I will 'repay' you well!
