Chapter 380: Big team

　　 After playing the Wizards, the Knicks flew to the West and played away to fight the Timberwolves.
　　 Love hasn't come back yet, and the Timberwolves' record has plummeted. This season they are probably over again.
　　 There are many factors that affect the team's record. Some teams are not strong against risks, and the injuries of the main players can ruin them.
　　 Under Rubio's deployment, the Timberwolves play very well on the team and the defense is not bad.
　　 However, they were a little bit worse since the start of the game. They have been following the Knicks, and the two teams slowly opened the gap.
　　 Rubio is not good at scoring, and the Timberwolves also lack stars who can score, so they can only lose decently and it is difficult to win.
　　 It's even more so against the Knicks, they didn't get any chance from beginning to end.
　　 The Knicks have become stronger, but many teams in the league are now weaker. There are many teams that will give up before the All-Star Weekend. No wonder the Knicks have no pressure at all.
　　 There are too few encounters with strong enemies, but a series of weak chickens.
　　 Qi Li emphasized the character, in fact, to pretend to be a comparison, it will not have much influence on the Knicks' record.
　　 On January 10, the Knicks unexpectedly lost to the Clippers, and the winning streak ended early.
　　 The Clippers' record this season is not bad, and Paul and Griffin are also a deep fit.
　　 However, the competition in the West is more intense. Without Jordan, the Clippers don't know where they will be in the end.
　　 The Knicks lost this game mainly because the Clippers played too well and Paul exploded with rare offensive power.
　　 On the bench, Bledsoe and Felton also played well.
　　 The Knicks chased points frantically in the second half, and in the end it was still a little bit worse.
　　 After all, the Clippers are two All-Stars, and they can't be so despised, although they are a little weak as a strong team.
　　 Qi Li thinks that the players may be a little tired, and sometimes they feel bad for everyone.
　　 Fortunately, the All-Star Weekend is coming soon, and the whole team can relax for a few days.
　　 The last game before the All-Star Weekend was against the Raptors. The Raptors are not doing well, but they have not given up.
　　 Jordan is a bit depressed. When the team's offensive ability is not very strong, his weaknesses are particularly obvious, and the offensive sense of existence is too weak.
　　 Some Raptors fans think that Jordan is expensive, but the team still respects him. As a foreign team, it is difficult for them to get real superstars.
　　 The Raptors still traded to Gay to fill the third position. Gay, who likes to hold the ball, does not have much trade value. The Raptors also give it a try.
　　 However, Gay played very hard against Leonard, and he was limited in several consecutive attacks.
　　He also has a good feel for this type, otherwise he would be a punching machine when he meets a defensive master like Leonard.
　　 Lowry's performance is not bad, the Raptors lineup also reflects some historical corrections, plus Jordan, they are better than the original history.
　　 It's just that Lowry and DeRozan haven't reached the peak yet, so this season is not easy.
　　 After entering the rotation, the Raptors finally found a sense.
　　 Qi ideal team made a wave of efforts to determine sufficient advantages and failed. This is the case in the game, and everything cannot be done in accordance with the most ideal.
　　 Qi Li doesn't care, anyway, the team is already in the lead, so just keep playing.
　　 The Knicks’ current style of play, Jordan, has little influence on them. He can't score in the interior, and it feels a bit tasteless. But if the Raptors let him go, rebounding problems will arise.
　　 Little Jordan’s greatest value now is rebounds. The weak team barely loses the maximum salary.
　　 The Knicks took the lead in the first half, but only in single digits. Both sides can accept it.
　　 The Raptors now regret the introduction of Guy. This buddy has an average hit rate and has a lot of shots.
　　 But they also lack attacks, so they can only pinch their noses first.
　　Although Gay did not perform well in the first half, Qi Li felt that he would still take shots in the second half, and we must focus on prevention. The other is DeRozan. Limiting these two Raptors' attacks will be affected.
　　 The situation in the third quarter was exactly the same as Qi Li expected. The main reason is that Guy's style of play cannot be changed. He is also the kind of capable but relatively tasteless one for the team.
　　 Raptors head coach Casey also responded quickly. Seeing that the gap between the two sides was widening, he decisively used a small lineup.
　　 There are fewer and fewer teams showing small lineups in front of the Knicks, because they usually get blown up.
　　 But the Raptors are really okay this time. It's wonderful to get to the three-point line for a few small shots.
　　 Qi Li did not breathe, and replaced Whiteside. Ibaka is still better on the court. Leonard can also help in the defense. The arm length is the advantage.
　　 The situation quickly stabilized, and the Knicks didn't want Ibaka to be on the court all the time, just leave a big one.
　　 The price the Raptors paid was that their rebounds were completely crushed.
　　 Little Jordan was a little anxious, he would certainly not be like that if he was on the court.
　　Unfortunately, how to play the Raptors can only choose one game. The Knicks' perimeter defense is getting better and better in the last quarter, and the Raptors' small lineup can no longer play.
　　 The Raptors can only replace Jordan on ~EbookFREE.me~ but the perimeter has changed. Lowry has all gone off the field and replaced with a perimeter with a higher shooting percentage from the three-point line.
　　 But facing the Knicks just thinking about offense is not enough.
　　 In the next few minutes, Curry and Clay taught three-pointers in a row. The Raptors didn't know how to fight. Gay played singles again with the ball, then hit the iron under Leonard's defense.
　　 By the last two minutes, the suspense of the game is no longer big. Although the score gap is not double-digit, it is difficult to do anything with the Raptors' attack power.
　　 In the final game of the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks still did not lose their victory.
　　 The Knicks went to the All-Star Weekend and the team is relatively large. Needless to say, there are three in the race. The rookie games include Leonard, Clay, Drummond, Thomas Jr. and Butler.
　　 Skills match Jeremy Lin, three-point game Curry, slam dunk contest Farid.
　　 Asina will stay with her players this time, so she rarely stays in New York. This time Qi Li flew to Houston with a few players who had no family members.
　　 Prior to this, Qi Li had finished the New Year’s Eve dinner with the video at home. The time zone on both sides is different. This feeling is still relatively new, but it’s good to try it once, and try to stay together in the future.
　　 Qi Li feels that his handling is still a bit rigid. In fact, he can also find time to return to China and let the assistant coach coach a few games on his behalf.
　　I can do this next season. Anyway, it’s okay to go back for a year with his status in the arena, and the team will not have problems with a few games.
　　 Now, he is going to share the All-Star Weekend video with Asina again.
