Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Losing at home, the Knicks lost their third game of the season unexpectedly. The current record is 34 wins and 3 degrees. The idea of ​​​​surpassing the 95-96 Bulls' 37 wins and 3 losses, the best 40 games in history, is also broken.

The best situation at the moment is to be tied with the best 40 games.

Although this is good and powerful, it is inevitable that people still have some regrets, after all, this is the closest to continuing to surpass the peak Bulls in 15 years.

Of course, this is human nature. Human desires are endless and insatiable. If someone told Knicks fans a few seasons ago that their team could win 34 games in the first 40 games, they would definitely Will be crazy happy.

Some people will even say generously that they don't need 34 games, they can win 20 games!

At that time, the Knicks were still the bottom of the league. They could barely win 30 games in a whole season, so let alone 34 games in the first 40 games, even if they won 34 games in a whole season, it was already an improvement. .

But now, the Knicks are the defending champions, with the strongest record in the current league. They are imposing and winning streak. At this time, people will of course forget the predicament many years ago and put one goal after another in front of the Knicks. .

Of course, not being able to surpass the Bulls is not a black spot. Except for some two fools who gloat over misfortunes, few people attack the Knicks with this incident. After all, if the Knicks who cannot surpass the Bulls are trash, they will be farther from the Bulls. What is the other team.

Therefore, people generally focus on the game itself. For example, many people think that the Knicks have a problem with their tactics in this game. Some people think that D'Antoni is too slow to adjust and his head is too hard. Some people think that the Knicks play too poorly in the interior. After all, Aldridge scored 29 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 68%.

Well, these are indeed the problems of the Knicks. So this game played just fine, scoring 28 games, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, but Zuo Li, who had a season-high 5 turnovers, calmly accepted criticism from the outside world, and said calmly: "This game The Knicks did not play well, the Blazers were the better team, and they deserved the win."

"In the first half we were too hard, we just wanted to beat them with offense quickly, forgetting that we didn't just win by offense, we made some adjustments in the second half, but the Blazers played very well, he let us chase Failed."

"However, being hanged and beaten is also the driving force for our continuous improvement. We will summarize it well when we go back."

This game really can be called being hanged. Don't look at the loss in the end, but the whole situation is in the hands of the Blazers.

Don't forget, the Blazers are currently full of wounded soldiers, and they can play far less than the Knicks, and the bench is not deep enough. It is indeed worthy of respect that they can play such a good offense and defense under such unfavorable circumstances.

However, according to the strength comparison, the Knicks did lose a game that should not have been lost.

Moreover, before that, of course, the Knicks also wanted to surpass the Bulls. Even if they could not reach the height of 72 wins in the end, they also hoped to surpass them at every stage.

But unfortunately, this opportunity is now lost.

This game can also be regarded as a wake-up call for the Knicks, that is: don't think you are stable.

Yes, basketball is round, and the situation on the court is changing rapidly. Blind arrogance will only speed up the process of giving for nothing.

At the same time, when you are making progress, no one else is idle, and there are no underdogs in the alliance. Underestimating others is the beginning of your overturning.

So after the game, the Knicks did not disband directly, and the entire team worked overtime and returned to the locker room for video viewing and summary.

After summing up, D'Antoni also developed a new plan and will conduct actual combat exercises in the training session the next morning.

Zuo Li took the initiative to take the responsibility: "In the last game, I played too high, and I didn't change my style in time. This is my problem."

"Guys, the team's offensive system has been carefully studied by all the teams after winning the championship last year. All teams that are determined to compete for the championship will regard us as the first target, from the star to the water cooler. The guards, what fadeway everyone likes to do in what position, are already on every coach's board."

"So guys, I know how difficult it is to defend the title, so we need to work harder."

"The loss this time also shows us that everyone wants to beat us, and if we don't want to lose, we need to do better."

How to do better?

In addition to adjusting his mentality, Zuo Li also took the lead.

The next day was a back-to-back game with the Jazz. It was a special case that the Knicks did not cancel the morning training session, but Zuo Li still chose to come to the arena an hour earlier in the morning for additional training.

When most of the players arrived at the arena, Zuo Li was already sweating.

"So, why don't we work hard." Curry shrugged, bumped Danny Green, and quickly entered training mode.

The training effect on this day was very good. The impetuous atmosphere caused by winning streak and running and shooting can no longer be seen. Everyone played very stable.

In the evening, the Jazz, who came from afar, never thought that the Knicks would play so seriously in the face of their team that lost Boozer.

The Jazz are in a very bad season this season. Since Deron and Boozer formed the new Utah Shuangsha, and formed a team with Kirilenko, Okur and other players, they have left an extremely deep impression on Chinese fans, but in reality The performance in the league can only be said to be average.

The best result was in the Western Conference Finals. Losing to the Spurs missed the finals. Tsk, looking at it this way, he is actually much better than Paul. After all, Deron has already touched the floor of the division finals.

But in recent seasons, the best result is the Western Conference semifinals, and it is difficult to improve again. Everyone can see that with this lineup, the potential of the Jazz has almost come to an end, which is also the reason why Boozer left.

I don't blame Boozer. First, it's useless if you don't go out to chase the championship. Second, the Jazz have lost patience after years of failure. There are still valuable players traded out, giving space for new players in the team to flow out.

The Jazz originally intended to trade Boozer and then build a team with Deron as the center. However, they did not expect that there would be a major discord between Deron and the team's meritorious coach Sloan.

The Jazz have a poor record this season, which is predictable. Although they introduced Lagabel and Al Jefferson in the offseason, the vacancy of Boozer is not so easy to fill, so the current 38 After the game, they lingered outside the door of the playoffs.

In fact, this is normal. Isn't it the same for Paul next door? It's a mess, signing in the offseason, and it's over when he comes back next season.

But for some reason, Deron was extremely dissatisfied with the team's status quo, and directly led him to target coach Sloan.

It may be because everyone around him is improving. If he doesn't sign up for the group, or if he doesn't strengthen himself, it's alright if there is no one around him who can fight, and he sends his old partner away.

So Deron and Sloan have had a very tense relationship this season.
