Chapter 145: More confident

Qi Li went to Duolan to have a meal again. This person was often up and down, and couldn't bear any movement.
"Coach Qi Li, I must believe you, so I directly scolded those ignorant media."
Dolan said that he didn't care, but he still cares. Qi Li prefers the craftsmanship of the opponent's chef, so he calmly talked about the team's tactics with the opponent, which appeared to be very grand.
"Now I will lose a few games, but don't worry at all. It's all in my plan. The strongest team in the East this season is still the Knicks, and the best in the league is the same."
"We just need a little patience, and the voices from the outside world don't care. Just like last season, the All-Star Weekend will be a watershed. Mr. Dolan can't wait." Qi Li said.
"Hahaha..." Dolan laughed a few times and concealed his embarrassment, and said with confidence, "I know very well, but sometimes I just don't want to bear it. I dare to say that I must be prepared to be scolded."
After the meal, let the big boss feel a little more at ease, this is enough.
Qi Li himself has also thought about it clearly, and then he wants to help rookies integrate into the team faster.
Curry, Ibaka, and Matthews can give more opportunities so that they can use the Peak Arrival card faster.
It's not that they are strong, but their current physical conditions can last a long time using the Peak Arrival Card.
On November 6, facing the strong Eastern Cavaliers, Qi Li let Ibaka.
The Cavaliers have brought the old Shark O’Neal this season.
Qi Li still remembers that they will have a follow-up, but unfortunately the result is not ideal, which eventually caused James to leave.
But for the Knicks, the Cavaliers are still very difficult opponents.
The Cavaliers now have Hickson at the fourth position, but Ibaka has played once, but Ibaka has played in Europe for a year before coming over.
They also have Varejao and Ilgauskas on the bench. They have just signed a large contract and have an annual salary of tens of millions. This is a luxury for the Cavaliers.
It's just that the configuration is a bit unbalanced. As a small ball market, this level is pretty good.
The two teams fought from the regular season to the Eastern Conference finals last season, which can be regarded as related, but the start of this season is a bit chaotic, which can be said to be the same.
The Cavaliers have a big problem with the changes without the Knicks. It depends on the rationale that the Knicks players can be much more comfortable.
The two teams are completely different, but the Cavaliers started with James and did his best, as if everyone was still playing in the playoffs.
Both Jordan and Ibaka's defensive awareness is okay, but they can't stop James from surging outside.
James is really strong, and Hill can't limit it with plug-in.
However, relatively speaking, O'Neal is really mediocre now. Originally, Qi Li thought that Jordan's body could not hold the opponent, but he found that O'Neal had not kept up with the rhythm.
O'Neal is really not the big shark that used to be, or he can break out for a short time, but obviously he does not plan to fight the Knicks now.
And the Cavaliers are not just O'Neal, everyone except James played too mediocre.
In order to rebound with the Knicks, their inside line soon became the big z and Varejao.
It seems that the Cavaliers have a bigger running-in problem than the Knicks. Even if they are leading now, it feels unstable, because the reason for the lead is only because James is super god, and his performance like this cannot continue.
In fact, James didn't play that way in the second quarter.
He felt good in the first quarter, and if he really went inside, the Knicks' inside defense would be much better this season.
At the time of the rotation, someone on the Knicks side naturally came forward.
The Cavaliers' defense is targeted. Crawford and Harrington are not as strong as before, but Scola has not been affected. Scola can be said to be very flexible in the interior.
If Scola's asking price is not expensive, Qi Li wants to stay, and a rotation can maintain tactical flexibility.
But let's forget the main force. Qi Li pays more attention to the ability of assisting defense. In the future, the Knicks will not take on the main offensive role. Scola's level of attacking inside will not allow Qi Li to change his choice.
With nearly 20 points in the first quarter of a single quarter, the Cavaliers took the lead in the first half.
Hill also took the initiative to take responsibility during the intermission, saying that he did not put James well.
Of course, Qi immediately took the responsibility on himself. "Grant, you have done a very good job. His scoring is our tactical choice. We are very experienced in dealing with James. With you, things will become even more important. It's easy."
It is indeed simpler. With Hill's defensive skills, it is much easier to consume James.
As long as James' physical strength drops slightly, Hill will cause him a lot of trouble.
The Knicks counterattack was a little bit earlier than Qili expected. The Cavaliers were very sluggish on the offensive end in the third quarter, and they could only use James’ singles, and James had no accuracy in the first quarter, Hill and money. Dele immediately showed his power and helped the team reverse the score.
Because there is no need to bear such a big responsibility, Hill will actually be more stable than James in the game.
As long as the opponent does not maintain high efficiency, the Knicks have to solve the problem much easier.
After the Knicks overtook the score, the time has come to the rotation period. What should the Cavaliers do? Are they really fighting the playoffs so that James is on the court?
Mike Brown still didn't have such a choice, although they had a bad start.
But when James went, the Knicks' lead easily expanded.
Harrington on the Knicks' side is showing off again. Players like Harrington are sometimes very useful~EbookFREE.me~ He is the same as Crawford, he is very good when used well, but he is not inconsistent. The players' weaknesses are also obvious.
On the defensive side, outside players like Crawford have less influence.
In any case, when James played again in the last quarter, the Cavaliers could not stop the blood.
In order to chase points, the Cavaliers allocated three three-pointers to James, but Gibson continued to hit the iron, that is, Anthony Parker scored one.
The key is that James didn't enter, he could only choose the most difficult way to continue to kill inside, but the score did not catch up and was capped.
At the last moment, the inside line of the Cavaliers is Varejao. The two big men with higher salaries can only watch. Qi Li feels that it is a waste. Maybe the Cavaliers' introduction of O'Neal is not a good choice.
The opponent chose to fight to the last moment, but the score gap between the two sides has been hovering around 10 points, and there was no change in the end.
In this strong matchup in the East, the Cavaliers started aggressively, but in the end, the Knicks proved that they are the more confident team.
