Chapter 320: Pre-All-Star Streak

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the strongest metaphysical coach!
The list of All-Stars, whether it is in the East or the West, is definitely controversial, and fans of various players are also arguing online.
But noisy is noisy, except for the injury list, there will be no change.
So the All-Star has so many things that players can improve, and it's still a championship.
If you are not satisfied, play in the playoffs. No matter how many reasons and surprises there are, the championship is the championship, and that's where the strongest should stand.
On February 14, the Knicks played away against the Raptors.
The Raptors are now not only bad records, but also suffered injuries, injured a few, even the first scoring point Bargnani is also injured, they can only do now to train DeRozan.
The reality is that it is so unfair, the combat power is already insufficient and the staff is reduced.
Now DeRozan has not reached the peak, as the core of the team is actually difficult to support the offensive end.
This is especially true under the Knicks' guard defense, and there is no threat beyond the three-point line. It is difficult for Anthony to suppress the Knicks by relying on the CIC, not to mention DeRozan.
So the Knicks had an advantage at the start, and they had a bigger advantage during the rotation. In fact, there was not much suspense in the first half of the game. After Curry returned, the Knicks have always been a strong posture.
Calderon played well in the second half. The Raptors did not surrender in the third quarter, but the game's victory or loss remained unchanged. The Knicks suppressed the Raptors in all aspects.
This back-to-back Knicks is actually very good to play. The away Raptors are not afraid. If they return to the home court against the King with obvious weakness, they will naturally win easily.
There is no doubt that the King has nothing to do this season. He can't attack and defend. Now the King is in a confused stage.
The team has not had a strong star, because it can be drafted, traded, and can be signed as a free agent. If you don't choose a winning style, it's really over.
The Kings have never thought about what kind of basketball they want. They just crudely imitated the model that was popular with fans at the time, but they couldn't imitate it well.
As the schedule progresses, the All-Star Weekend is getting closer.
The Knicks have five games before the All-Star Game, two of which are back-to-back.
There are tough opponents, and there are teams that are relatively easy to deal with. Together, they have a peaceful mind. Although the team did not start well, they have now recovered and they can go on step by step.
On February 17, the Knicks played against the Hornets at home.
After Paul Hornets left, he has completely begun to rebuild, and the record is completely unsuccessful.
They were also hit by injuries, so they were determined to show up.
Teams have suffered a lot of injuries this season, and the intensive schedule is unbearable even for athletes.
However, the matter of earning dollars can only be clenched and insisted, and the bad team is more assured to let the players heal.
This is an opportunity for some players who usually don't have a chance to show themselves, but in high-level leagues, the ranking of one or two players will not affect much.
The Hornets were able to contend with the Knicks in the first quarter, but after the Knicks gained the advantage during the rotation period, they languished offensively.
In the second half, the Knicks played steadily and did not give their opponents a chance.
The difference in strength, the difference in determination, this kind of game is not difficult to play.
"In a few days, everyone can take a break and continue our record. Whether it is a shrinking season or not, we are the best team and certainly will not change."
Amid Qi Li's encouragement, the players also cheered lively.
Playing in the Knicks is quite cool, and the arrangement is great.
Everyone thinks that if nothing else changes, then it must be the credit of the magical coach.
With a group of young people and veterans with no ambitions, the atmosphere of the team is very harmonious.
Even if he refused to renew his contract early, he didn't think much about it.
Two days later, the Mavericks visited, which was also a difficult enemy to deal with.
The Mavericks' current lineup is slightly different from Qi Li's memory. They did not win the final victory, and Chandler did not get a larger contract, so they stayed with the Mavericks.
They still traded to Odom, and then felt trapped.
Compared with last season, the Mavericks have also encountered an aging lineup, but they can still fight.
It's just that the Mavericks didn't make a shot at the start, and Curry and Paul George pulled up the score gap.
It can only be said that both Marion and Kidd are actually declining, and they can't keep up with young people.
Nowitzki can still play, but when he adjusts his hand, the Mavericks are already behind.
This is related to the coach's style. Many teams will use the Knicks in the first quarter, but the Mavericks are always accustomed to late use. Carlisle's tactics are like this.
And in the rotation, Jeremy Lin, who felt right during this period, also faintly suppressed Terry.
Jeremy Lin is still different from a pure sixth man. He is a bit like the starting number one and plays more reasonably. But in a strong team like the Knicks, his most suitable position is the sixth man. He must have the ball to be able to. The type of play is not particularly strong.
With a rotation lineup, he can give full play to his strengths. Under Qi Li's coaching, he will definitely let him burst out all his strengths.
Nowitzki had a stronger sense of presence on the offensive end in the second quarter, but the Knicks stabilized the situation.
One of the ways to resist the aging problem of the lineup is to improve the defense. The Mavericks did the same this season. When the Knicks have a better defense, it will be more difficult for them to chase points.
With a team with defensive habits, the offense will not be so sharp, especially those with old arms and legs.
The Mavericks’ reaction has not changed much from last season’s playoffs. Qi Li arranged the second half tactics with a smile. Before the fight, he only looked at the probabilities vaguely. After the fight, he felt at ease~EbookFREE.me~third. Sure enough, Nowitzki held the ball more in the festival, and the Knicks also came up with a targeted defensive strategy.
When Nowitzki hits, the score gap between the two teams will always shrink, but the Knicks are not bad on the offensive end. The scores of the two teams fluctuate, and the Mavericks are still short of catching up.
The Mavericks played well at the beginning of the final quarter, and the combination of Nowitzki and Terry is still very threatening.
But when it came to the real decisive moment, the Mavericks appeared fatigued ahead of time.
The Knicks are at best Ibaka's hard work, other players including Curry have more adequate rest, the last few minutes are also energetic.
It's the familiar pick and roll, but it's really not easy to defend the Knicks.
The Mavericks couldn't help it. Nowitzki was stared to death after he was exhausted. Kidd couldn't make a shot when he had a chance. Terry could only choose a variety of singles.
In the end, Terry's three-point shooting percentage dropped to 30%, and the Mavericks' loss became a foregone conclusion.
