NBA: The opening game gets a death entanglement

At the press conference after the game, D’Antoni still brought Lin Dong to attend.

Lin Dong had just appeared, and all the cameras were pointed at him.

Clicked and clicked.

Under the flash, Lin Dong’s body was illuminated exceptionally brightly.

After the two sat down, reporters raised their hands and wanted to ask questions.

D’Antoni casually pointed to a reporter who looked better.

The reporter immediately stood up excitedly and asked questions.

“Coach D’Antonis, you won against the powerful Suns tonight, what do you think is the key to winning?”

D’Antoni grinned, then replied.

“The key is how to contain the Suns’ offense, their offensive efficiency is at the top level in the league and their average points per game are also in the top.”

“So how to prevent them from playing an efficient attack has become a problem for us.”

“We sent the best defensive players to defend Nash for this, and as you can see, it was a very good job!”

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Dong.

The cameras in the hands of the reporters were aimed at Lin Dong at the same time, and they shot frantically again.

D’Antoni turned his head and continued.

“Nash is the engine of the Suns’ offense, and his successful defense directly reduces the efficiency of shelling tactics.”

“The second is to defend his blocking, they have two of the best partners in the league, Nash and Smalls.”

“To do this, we directly gave up one of their outside lines and went to pack Xiaosi.”

‘It worked well, and in this game I used Hill who was better at the game, and he did a good job of protecting the box, and then we won the game.’

After speaking, he shrugged.

The meaning seems to be that simple.

After answering the first question, the reporter sat down satisfied.

Then many journalists began to raise their hands and ask questions.

D’Antoni again pointed to a reporter.

The reporter asked: “Now that the team has won six in a row, what are your goals for the next season?” ”

Faced with this question, D’Antoni almost didn’t think about it and spoke directly.

“Playoffs! The playoffs, of course, although we’re still some way from playoffs. ”

“But I believe that the morale and strength of the team can make it to the playoffs or even higher.”

The team now has a record of 24 wins and 29 defeats, ranking tenth in the East.

The eighth-placed Heat are four wins away.

There are 29 regular season games left, and judging from the current results, it is still very promising to enter the playoffs.

If the Knicks had said their goal was the playoffs, few believed they could do it.

Just like Lin Dong said at the beginning, when his goal was the playoffs, few people on the team believed it.

But now it’s different, they’re on a six-game winning streak.

The momentum is like a rainbow, and it directly plays the longest winning streak in the league at this stage.

Now, no team in the NBA dares to underestimate them.

D’Antoni’s answer was almost expected by journalists.

But hearing him say it so confidently, they still felt different.

Next, another reporter asked a question.

“It’s coming to the All-Star Game, but the Knicks don’t have a single player in the main game except for Nate who participated in the slam dunk contest, do you think any players on your team should make it to the main game.”

This question is a bit difficult to answer.

D’Antoni also thought for a while before speaking.

“The selection of players in the All-Star Game is based on the level of preference of the fans, and the degree of liking is determined by the fans based on the performance of the players.”

“In the first half of the season, the team was doing badly, and if a player was selected as an All-Star, I didn’t feel normal.”

“However, next year can still be a prospect, Lin Dong is very promising, his performance is worthy of an All-Star.”

That might make David Lee less happy, though.

After all, he is the boss of this team.

But D’Antoni has completely not hidden his fancy for Lin Dong.

And the team will start to build tactics around Lin Dong next, and this matter will soon be known to everyone.

There is no need to hide.

When the reporter heard this answer, it was as if he had discovered something incredible.

Although Lin Dong played well, is it really good to ignore David Li like this?

So, immediately a reporter asked.

“What do you think of David Lee?”

D’Antoni was embarrassed, “It depends on the team’s record!” He also has a chance, but I am more optimistic about Lin Dong. ”

The reporter then asked a few more questions like this.

However, D’Antonis’s answers were relatively simple, and he obviously did not want to continue with this question.

The reporter also saw this, so he turned the topic to Lin Dong.

“May I ask Lin Dong, you have scored more than 20 points in five consecutive games, how long do you think this will last?”

Lin Dong moved the microphone closer to his mouth.

He replied with a serious face: “I didn’t deliberately score, when I had a chance to score, I would seize it.” ”

“In fact, sometimes I enjoy defending more, and defending Nash tonight has benefited me a lot.”

“So with a score of more than twenty, I can’t guarantee that maybe the next game will be broken, who knows?”

The reporter continued to ask questions.

“Before you defended against the attackers of the opposing team, did you feel differently about defending Nash tonight?”

Lin Dong pursed his mouth.

“It’s fun!”

“Nash is a master of passing, master of possession, and when defending scorers, I just have to stop them from moving away from the basket.”

‘But Nash is different, he is a threat much more than that, he can lead his teammates through passes.

“So it’s hard to defend him, since you have to defend his scores, you have to defend his defense, and if you have the opportunity, I want to train with him and learn from his experience.”

After Lin Dong finished speaking, D’Antoni began to think.

If you let Lin Dong learn from Nash, learn Nash’s passing.

Lin Dong, who has offense and defense, and passes, just thinking about it, he feels excited.

So he decided to call Nash when he got back tonight.

Ask Nash if he wants to.

If you can, the All-Star Game is a good opportunity.

……

At this point, Nash and his teammates walked out of the arena.

Journalists are already waiting for him here.

When he saw Nash come out, he greeted him.

“I’m sorry you lost tonight, what do you think about tonight’s game?”

Nash is the league’s notoriously good-natured temper.

If there is a player with a hot temper, after the team loses, when someone asks him how he feels, he may be very angry.

But Nash stopped very friendly, his face full of indifference.

‘It’s not nice for the team to lose, but there’s no problem losing tonight because they do better than us.’

“They did a lot of preparation, both offensively, including defensively, very targeted.”

“So next, we need to work harder.”

The reporter continued to ask questions.

“Your performance tonight is somewhat unsatisfactory compared to the past, does it have anything to do with Lin Dong’s defense?”

Speaking of Lin Dong, a hint of appreciation appeared on Nash’s face.

“Lin Dong is a good player, his defense is very smart.”

‘I barely had any good shots under his defence, and he was very resourceful in blocking my passes, so our attacks were always tough.

“So my performance tonight is directly related to his defense!”

After saying this, the reporter thought about asking questions.

As a result, Nash himself continued: “I am looking forward to Lin Dong’s performance behind, this player will definitely achieve very good results in the future.” ”

“If you have the opportunity, I would like to talk to him.”
