Chapter 288 [Not only must win, but also build defensive confidence]

Most of the American basketball commentators do not want Susie and the Knicks to move on. On the one hand, it is because of their conservatism and isolationism from the heart. They do not want a non-American and non-black player to dominate the league here. On the other hand, Su Xi has slapped too many people in the face as she has grown up.

Therefore, when Antonio Davis said so many things that were full of loopholes, they actually believed them to be true, accepted them all without distinction, and spread the comments wildly.

Suhi was described by them as a arrogant dictator who sidelined the head coach, brutally suppressed the team's dissent, and made other players subordinate to him.

However, these things do not stand up to scrutiny.

Instead, it proves another thing: Su Xi is so strong!

He was able to resolve the Knicks' locker room dispute so quickly and sort out the tactics at the same time. Although the Knicks' tactical system was a bit messy, their 17-game winning streak proved everything. In these 17 games, they have beaten many strong teams.

As for what Antonio Davis said, it's more like the barking of an incompetent person. His words were all useless emotional nonsense.

Who would really take it seriously?

At this time, traditional media and the Internet had completely different reactions.

The traditional TV media is holding a denunciation meeting for Su Xi. Su Xi is denounced in one program after another, and the scolding seems to be nothing.

However, most of the discussions on the Internet are full of praise, saying that Su Xi is very capable, not only in football skills, but also in tactics. What is even more valuable is that he can make the scattered Knicks closely unite around him. No big trouble.

This is an all-around talent, and the Knicks have found a treasure.

As for Antonio Davis, everyone regarded him as an abandoned son: when everyone decided to fight with Su Xi, and won 17 consecutive games. You jump out and curse the team, and say that the team can't make the playoffs. Isn't this a loser?

Even the basketball experts who hate the Knicks and Susie the most cannot say that the Knicks will not make the playoffs this season.

It is worth mentioning that despite the TV media criticizing Isiah Thomas as a puppet, weak and allowing himself to be manipulated. On the Internet, it is said that Isiah Thomas is generous, wise, and knows people well.

The Internet also analyzed that the reason why Isiah Thomas became the head coach of the Knicks was because he was a part-time job. He was there to calm Su Xi and let Su Xi have a free hand. He is already the team's president and general manager, and he decides everything about the club. There is no need for him to be the head coach. As for the Marionette, it's even more ridiculous. He is one person below ten thousand people in the Knicks club.

Isiah Thomas looked at the compliments on the Internet with a smile on his face.

The Knicks' next opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers, and then they will return home to play a game against the New Jersey Nets.

The reaction within the Knicks to the incident caused by Antonio Davis was very dull. When I first saw it on TV, everyone was quite angry. In the NBA, a player who goes outside to talk about internal team matters is considered a whistleblower. Each team has its own secrets and doesn't want outsiders prying into them.

However, when I think about it later, Antonio Davis is definitely going to be traded anyway. Does it matter what he says?

As for what he said, it is not worth mentioning.

Eddy Curry was mobbed by Los Angeles at Staples Center and was asked what he thought of the Antonio Davis interview.

"What he said is not true."

"So what are the facts? Do you think Suzy the Lamb is a dictatorial ball tyrant? Does he ask you to obey him, and is he arranging tactics? Has he completely eliminated Isiah Thomas? Antonio Was Davis pushed away by him?"

The reporter asked a series of questions.

Eddy Curry frowned. The more he listened, the angrier he became. He simply stopped and had a good chat with the reporter: "First of all, the fact is that we are united now. Each of us played the best performance of our career. We helped the ball." The team has won 17 consecutive games and we have the best record in the league."

"Secondly, Jack is a gentle leader. I have not seen him take any hegemonic behavior under any circumstances. If you have watched the Knicks games, you should know that he treats all players equally. As long as they perform well, Everyone has a chance to play, and everyone’s numbers and efficiency are improving.”

"Of course Isiah is the one who arranges the tactics. You will know after watching the game that the tactical board is always in his hands. However, I must say that the formation of every tactic is inseparable from Jack's contribution. He gathers teammates and plays The role of the players is to put them in a comfortable position to attack efficiently. Each of us has benefited a lot, and each of us is brainstorming and hoping to find the strongest tactics as soon as possible."

"As for why Antonio Davis left? I don't know. All I know is that he was recovering from an injury at the beginning of the season, and he may not adapt to the 'one for everyone, everyone for me' atmosphere of the team now. He is a An experienced player, I believe he will perform well, but... he may not be suitable for the current Knicks."

Eddy Curry speaks in such a coherent manner that reporters are surprised. Is this still the ignorant little shark who eats, drinks and has fun? It feels like I went to a personal liberal arts university.

Eddy Curry is the only Knicks player to speak out about the incident.

The rest of the players focused on the evening game, winning 18 consecutive games, tying a franchise record. This matter is more important to everyone.

As for Antonio Davis, he is just a former teammate who was left behind on the way forward. Does it matter what he said? We are going to make new history.

The Los Angeles Clippers have improved their strength this season after acquiring Sam Cassell. They are currently fifth in the Western Conference and have historically defeated the rival Lakers in the same city.

As their record improves, the Clippers are ambitious and they always hope to make some big splashes. This time they shouldered the important task of sniping the Knicks' record-breaking performance. The entire basketball circle focused their attention on this, and the traffic was huge. It was the time when they became famous in Los Angeles.

Therefore, the team owner came to the stadium to cheer them on. The guy known as Grandet even promised to open two bottles of red wine worth tens of thousands of dollars to celebrate them after winning.

This makes the team's fighting spirit soar. No one wants to be suppressed by the Lakers for the rest of their lives.

If you have a chance, go for it!

Especially for a bad team like the Knicks, which has a bad reputation and is punished by everyone, defeating them is blessed with an aura of justice.

Maggette, the Clippers' outside core this season, is injured and is out. However, Maggette successfully performed Ewing's Law, and the team became better after losing him.

Tonight's Clippers starting lineup is: Alien Cassell, Old Cat Mobley, James Singleton, Elton Brand, Chris Kaman.

The lineup is pretty good.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is: Suhi, Crawford, Jaylen Rose, Tony Barty, and Eddy Curry.

Beep! The whistle blows and the game begins.

Tonight, the Clippers' home court is rarely full of fans. Usually only derbies in the same city can attract such a large audience. It can be seen that the Knicks are indeed very popular.

When Su Xi came on the court, the fans in Los Angeles booed.

Both Los Angeles teams aggressively pursued Soucy this offseason. Especially for the Lakers, there was even a sense of certainty at the time. Unexpectedly, Su Xi turned around and went to the Knicks.

Moreover, the sad thing is that after Su Xi went to the Knicks, the Knicks immediately rose. A wave of 17 consecutive victories makes others envious. Although many fans are now sourly dancing with basketball experts, saying that Su Xi took away the original soul of the Knicks when he went to the Knicks, and he dominated everything about the Knicks.

But if it were Su Xi who came to the Clippers or Lakers, fans of these two teams would definitely raise their hands in the air and shout: Please, Su Xi, take my soul. We also want to win 17 consecutive games.

The brief boos did not affect Su Xi's mood.

Eddy Curry's jump ball win over Kaman showed he was in peak physical condition.

During his winning streak, he has lost a lot of fat, but his muscle content has increased, which has improved his physical fitness in all aspects.

He was originally a high school genius, and now is the best time of his career.

Su Xi passed the half court with the ball, and Cassel came up to defend.

Cassel had played against Su Xi before when he was with the Timberwolves, but he was taught a terrible lesson. Now, he is older and Su Xi is stronger.

Cassell was known for his physical strength when he was young, but now he avoids collision with Su Xi. He knows how hard Su Xi's bones are, and he knows how powerful Su Xi's attack is. He wanted to play some seduction strategy with Su Xi.

But Su Xi accelerated sharply from his side and passed him like a wooden stake.

He couldn't react at all.

There are two major tank rushers in the league today, one is James and the other is Su Xi.

James is bigger and more aggressive.

Su Xi is slightly smaller, but his skills are better, and the impact and slap are more painful.

Su Xi entered the penalty area and jumped up. He took off into the air facing Kaman. After getting the super jumping talent, he became more and more unscrupulous and wanted to run wild over the center.

Kaman and Su Xi are the same students.

But his German ancestry may be mixed with some British style. He has begun to go bald, and his golden hair is quite sparse from top to bottom.

puff!

Su Xi bumped into Kaman hard, then grabbed the ball with one long arm and slammed it into the basket.

Kaman's outstretched hand was powerless to stop him. He looked like a drowning man reaching out for help rather than blocking a shot.

boom!

Su Xi slammed the basketball into the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand and swung it hard.

Kaman fell into the vortex of power, and his body finally couldn't support it, and he fell to the ground.

Staples Arena was in uproar.

No one expected that Su Xi would be so wild on the first goal. He went straight to the point and directly beat the Clippers' defense into the air. Then he completed a head-on dunk over the head of their team's tallest player and flipped him to the ground.

Domineering exposed!

After Su Xi landed, she looked around.

He saw the uncontrollable fear of God in the eyes of the Clippers fans on the sidelines.

Susi has become more and more dominant this season.

As he looked around, no one of the Clippers fans who might have been criticizing the Knicks before the game dared to look at him.

The Clippers players on the court also avoided the edge.

The Knicks' morale was instantly ignited.

Su Xi's opening shot was like a god coming down to earth.

The game continues.

The Knicks actually showed an unprecedented defensive posture. The Knicks' defense is not good. Only Suhi and Tony Batty can be considered defensive players. Jaylen Rose can only protect himself, and Crawford and Eddy Curry are the only two. Colander.

Now the two colanders are also actively marking people and guarding their own position.

The Clippers relied on passing opportunities, but Su Xi's pressure on Cassell was extreme.

He had to pass the basketball to Brand in the post, and Brand posted up to Tony Barty. He was a well-rounded post, but his stature was a bit short. After he turned around, he tried to take a jump shot, but was missed by Tony Barty. He directly pressed it with his hands, the basketball fell to the ground, Eddy Curry stole the basketball, and he made a long throw.

Su Xi and Cassel started a 100-meter sprint, and Cassel was left far behind. He watched as Su Xi grabbed the basketball and entered the penalty area, completing a tomahawk dunk.

Two dunks in a row.

The dunk made the Clippers feel confused, and the false confidence of Staples fans disappeared.

Su Xi faced them Kassel and surpassed them too much.

Even on the defensive end, the Knicks played oppressively.

The Clippers, a comprehensively weakened version of the positional team, is becoming the Knicks' defensive cauldron, and the Knicks are trying to build their own defensive prototype through them.

This is why Su Xi pointed his finger at Ariza on the sidelines after two consecutive dunks.

He wants to bring in Ariza, who is his designated wing gate and the defensive small forward he focuses on developing.

How could we not let him participate in such a good opportunity?

The Clippers were once again entangled in the frontcourt. This time they were playing Chris Kaman in isolation. Kaman's back-turn hook failed to hit. Although Eddy Curry was not good at defending, he now knows his His specialty is to keep an eye on his opponent's lower body and hold his position. As for the upper body, he doesn't get involved.

Su Xi jumped in and interfered.

Basketball struck, Tony Barty got the rebound and passed it to Su Xi.

Su Xi ran wildly with the ball, took advantage of the chaos and entered the penalty area, and passed it to Crawford who followed up. Crawford pulled the stick in the air enchantingly and hit a layup with his left hand.

As soon as the game opened, the Clippers were stunned.

beep!

Mike Dunleavy asked for a timeout. He could see that the morale of the players was plummeting because the Knicks were in a completely different situation than they imagined and how he had set up the locker room.

If the team continues to play like this, the Clippers will be doomed.

So, he needs to adjust.

He wants to rebuild the team's confidence.

What he didn't know was that Su Xi was saying on the bench: "The Clippers are a good opponent. We are a comprehensively weakened version of the Spurs. We need to improve our defense through them. We not only need to win this game, but also To build defensive confidence."
