Chapter 439: Defeat the Rockets

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the strongest metaphysical coach!
After defeating the Spurs, the Knicks will play away back to back against the Rockets.
The unrecognizable Rockets record is not bad or not. The combination of Deron and Howard is not as easy to use as expected, nor is it difficult to use as expected. The comeback Stoudemire is indeed a lot worse, but it is still possible to not regard him as a giant.
The Rockets are mainly defensively bad now, and there are not enough good players in the rotation.
Deron can play Curry on the Rockets' side, but Stoudemire and Howard might not play well when they meet the Knicks' inside line. Coupled with their poor defense, the Knicks can be said to be restrained.
It's harder to play back-to-back away games, and Qi Li also asked the players to concentrate.
At the beginning of the game, both sides did not immediately start their efforts, and they all played pick-and-rolls, but the Rockets usually came out from the fourth position to cooperate with Deron, but the Knicks could come out according to the tactics of the third, fourth, and fifth.
Both sides are more blooming, but the efficiency is not particularly high. Howard tried singles Drummond several times, the effect is not very good, Howard's low singles are actually really average.
He relied more on his strong physical fitness to perform actions on the inside, and most of the time he jumped up and ended. Now that he has some injuries, and encounters a good physical fitness, he can't perform well.
Of course, Drummond can't learn the rough singles skills of Howard.
Qi Li did not deliberately open the offensive skills of the fifth position, anyway, it is enough now.
If players have high demands on themselves, they will take the initiative to learn skills such as footwork. Some players have not learned them for many years, and there is no doubt that they will not be able to learn them.
Many of those low-level skills are more difficult to learn than shooting three-pointers, so many centers later developed three-pointers, which should still be a cost-effective issue.
The Rockets' bench is not good, so they let their main players spend more time.
From this point of view, they are also obsessed with winning the Knicks, after all, the two teams have some unspeakable grievances.
I feel upset but I continue to keep in touch and talk about trades. I can only try it on the court.
In the second quarter, the offensive efficiency of both teams improved, but Curry and Deron both met, but both shot average.
First of all, Deron was going to run over and hit Curry, and Curry was going to get it back.
After the first half, the Knicks were still slightly ahead. Relatively speaking, the Knicks were more efficient. Klay, Butler and Drummond were all very quick to eat.
Howard wanted to be strong, but he was not as good as Drummond in scoring and rebounding, and he lost face.
However, Drummond always eats bread on the inside, and the two offensive methods are still completely different.
From the perspective of the first half, it is hard to say which point the Rockets will attack in the second half.
But they must have launched an attack from Deron, and Deron must work hard to limit this point.
In the third quarter, the Knicks also cut off the connection between him and his teammates on Deron, because Deron's outside shooting is not particularly stable.
But he didn't expect Deron to actually start his own offense, with good efficiency.
Sometimes defense is a choice. You can't block all the possibilities of your opponent. Sometimes the choice will have the opposite effect, but basically it is aimed at blocking the maximum possibility.
Qi Li doesn't regret the defensive arrangements, but just makes the players pay more attention to the opponent's three-pointers.
Some players still have superior organizational skills, so it is normal to give them a chance to attack.
However, Deron's own high efficiency, the Rockets still do not have the advantage.
Some teams have poor defense. They play well and their opponents play better.
Clay made a good three-pointer in the first half, but the Rockets still didn't pay attention. As a result, Clay made three three-pointers in this quarter, and the Knicks' lead has expanded.
Qi Li didn't know what the Rockets thought. If he had Howard in his heart, he would definitely have to block three-pointers from outside players on defense. The Magic played well at the beginning.
Some coaches only focus on offense or defense, and becoming a strong team is also weak.
Maybe they emphasized defense during the intermission, but if they didn't practice defensive routines, they couldn't handle it with just a few words. This is not a game of wild ball. One can solve the problem by focusing on one.
By the end of the quarter, the Rockets, who had fallen behind to double digits, had no choice. They had two more shooters, playing a major and a junior. A team with Howard would more or less think of this one that has been seen in the Magic. Tactics.
On the defensive end, they pay more attention to defending the Knicks' three-pointers.
But to be honest, it's a bit late, and they can't get the Knicks in rebounding like this.
Anyway, at the end of the quarter and have an advantage, the Knicks let Curry and Butler pick and roll, reduce the rhythm to play star tactics.
In fact, Curry is in a general state, so the Knicks are not efficient in doing so, but they win in stability.
In the final stage, the Rockets recovered a few points, but the Knicks still held the game tightly in their hands.
The Knicks were back to back away, and they didn't win the game without such a good chance, and the Rockets sighed.
They also hope to improve the team's strength through trades. They thought that signing Howard would make a difference in the Western Conference. Unexpectedly, they would not be able to make the playoffs. The playoffs shouldn't be difficult, but the chances of getting into the top four in the Western Conference are really good. Slim.
It's a pity that Stoudemire's contract is difficult to get. They thought the team was at the championship level when they signed Stoudemire. They didn't expect Stoudemire's injury contract to be hit in their hands.
It seems that their transactions over the years have been like this, it looks good and then there will be problems.
The Rockets management thinks that their fleeting years are not good~EbookFREE.me~ Should the team hire a coach? They are all the people of God, and they can't be so favoritism.
After back-to-back, the Knicks still have an away game in the West, and their opponents are not easy to deal with the Mavericks.
The Mavericks and Spurs are now suffering from the same disease, but the lineup is a bit old, and they can't find suitable young people to train.
They are also potential traders for the Knicks, but their players' salaries are more reasonable, and they also want to try a wave of signing big names in the summer without placing such a big bet.
They also signed some of the guards who were the best players this season, such as Ellis and Harris.
The Mavericks have been in the same transition as the Spurs in the past two years, paying more attention to offense, but they did not turn so smoothly, they lost too fast on defense, and now it is a bit difficult in the West.
Facing the Mavericks, the Knicks' inside advantage is very obvious. Butler hit the basket several times in the start, which directly shredded the Mavericks' defense. The Mavericks at home felt like they were shocked.
The Knicks directly established the advantage and entered their rhythm after the game.
