Basketball: Ten consecutive draws at the start

Chapter 92: The Struggle for Power (subscription requested)

(Typed, ten changes starting tomorrow)

Liu Chao walked off the arena, and D’Antoni also gave him a hug and handed him a towel: “Chao, you just performed very well, you can still stay calm when you are wrapped up!” ”

In fact, D’Antoni was very worried that Liu Chao would not be able to control stepping into ZONE.

Now that the Suns have a big lead, he just needs Liu Chao to stay on the court longer.

“Coach….. What it feels like to play today….. It’s really unpleasant. Liu Chao smiled bitterly while wiping his sweat.

Scoring 23 points at halftime is worth celebrating, but being caught up in defense is always one of the unpleasant things.

“I know, but you also have to discover the benefits you create, how much Marbury paid for you, teammates also got a good shot, kid you have to remember, basketball is not a one-man sport, even if you score 50 points, but the teammate’s state can’t keep up will become dependent on you, how to play when you run out of physical strength.”

D’Antoni preached seriously.

Everyone is also very sensible and did not disturb the two, Liu Chao’s personal ability is getting stronger and stronger, but the correct direction is essential, this is a growth process.

Compared to the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of the Suns, the atmosphere on the Knicks bench at this time is very poor, and there is even a little smell of gunpowder.

Because under Marbury’s unauthorized bag defense, the team score was pulled wider and wider, and the Suns played a wonderful scoring streak, and the team’s morale was on the verge of collapse before the end of the half.

The Suns were not adversely affected by Xiaosi’s end, but with the cooperation of Liu Chao, Nash and Leondro, the score became bigger and bigger.

The hot feel affected Sean and Dior on the inside.

The Suns exploded with all their hands, and with Liu Chao attracting the attention of two defensive positions, Nash and others were full of firepower, continuously ravaging the Knicks’ basket.

Before the end of the halftime was pulled away by 19 points, Jeff Van Gundy, as the head coach, could no longer hold back his roar and roared at Marbury: “How long do you have to be willful, look at the situation you caused, the double bag clip is played like this, we Knicks don’t have to fight, it’s faster to surrender directly and go home to take a shower!” ……..”

Jeff Van Gundy was angry, very angry, but he also saw an opportunity, a chance for him to regain dominance in the hearts of Knicks players.

Marbury, as the team boss, often intervened in his decision-making, resulting in a decline in player execution.

In fact, Jeff Van Gundy has perfected the team’s tactical layout a long time ago, but Marbury has always been unwilling to execute, and even the players are very loose.

Most of them rely on previous tactical memory and personal ability to play matches.

Marbury was very angry at this time, and did not want to argue with the ‘waste’ coach, and closed his eyes alone to adjust his state, thinking about how to play in the second half.

The more he did, the happier Jeff Van Gundy became, as Marbury lost some of the trust of his teammates and began to set his sights back on him because of a second-quarter decision-making mistake.

“Now listen to me, if you want to win, you have to do whatever it takes, first of all, the Chinese rookie, Mark, when you defend, you stand more on his side to defend and block his route for the ball.” It doesn’t matter if you are pulled away by the running position, let him run, you just stare at Nash, block his passing route, and the inside line don’t loosen the control of Sean and Dior. ”

Under Jeff Van Gundy, the Knicks were once brilliant, but now they have a knock-on effect due to internal reasons, resulting in the Knicks becoming one of the bottom teams in the league.

To change the status quo, you have to change the coach or get the players to pick up the execution again.

Jeff Van Gundy is one of the Knicks’ shareholders, and the firing is unrealistic, and now only by re-implementing the new tactics he has developed can the Knicks have a chance to turn around.

Or they can only continue to carry the title of ‘bottom of the alliance’.

“Mark, when necessary, invite that Chinese rookie to appear, since you want to foul, you must commit a little more ruthlessly, don’t do it too obviously, guarantee that it is a first-degree malicious foul.” Halfway through the sentence, Jeff Van Gundy looked at Mark and said.

Liu Chao is a problem in the arena after all, and if Liu Chao is not solved, the Knicks tactics will inevitably spend more attention on him.

Jeff Van Gundy’s only idea now is to use Mark as a backup player to scrap a battery for the Suns.

The Knicks are stuck in a state of poor long-range shooting, and can score inside, but far less efficient than the Suns.

Coupled with the team status of Marbury and Zach, many people dare not shoot at will, for fear of being scolded.

To solve Liu Chao, many problems are solved, the Suns have one less battery point, and with the lack of an inside line, it will be much easier for them to chase points.

Malicious fouls are disgusting, but the NBA is a cruel reality arena, plus the league’s attitude towards yellow people is not good, Mark will eat a first-level penalty after the foul is not sure.

“Got it.”

Although Mark is a water cooler player, he is also a player who plays with his brain, and knows that Jeff Van Gundy is going to sacrifice him in exchange for Liu Chao.

Hearing that Mark agreed to his plan, Jeff Van Gundy nodded in satisfaction, and then said: “Don’t make him feel good in the next game, cheer me up!” Hit that Chinese rookie well! ”

“Execute the coach’s tactics well, he is right, we don’t have a good way to limit Liu Chao, the cost of wrapping defense is too great, let him go.” Marbury stood up and said to Mark beside him.

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle, the game resumed, Liu Chao glanced at Marbury back to his position, no longer wrapped him, and couldn’t help but feel happy in his heart.

As long as he didn’t make a full-court bag, he had the opportunity to run and create a hand, and Mark, as a substitute, couldn’t catch up with him.

However, just a few encounters also made Liu Chao realize that Ma Long is not a player who plays by his body, and running can help him create opportunities, but the opponent can always find the shortest distance to catch up.

The Knicks had the ball, Marbury dribbled the ball through the half, facing Nash.

Lone wolf Marbury lived up to his name, he still did not choose to pass the ball after a series of trials, and rushed towards the inside line himself, and the physical Nash was difficult to defend.

Seeing this, Sean and the others hurriedly assisted in defense, but Marbury made a move that surprised everyone.
