Chapter 77: Approaching

The Knicks have a dazzling record this time, but in fact their schedule is not very good.
After fighting against three strong enemies in a row, they will go to the West to play a few away games.
Qi Li also informed Huang Qi that he must keep his players healthy. Injuries are always annoying.
Going to Portland to face the Western Power Trail Blazers, Qi Li doesn't have much demand for the players.
In these few games, everyone has played fiercely. He doesn't need the team to win all the time. When the regular season still needs to breathe, by the way, everyone's current record is the first in the league.
The Blazers are now fourth in the Western Conference, but the next few teams are not far behind them.
Now the Western Conference record has a level, the Lakers are followed by the Spurs and Nuggets, the Blazers are still a bit worse.
They have also encountered some minor injuries now, Blake truce in the first position, but it has little effect on their combat power.
The Blazers are also stronger defensively. This is also a season that Oden has played better, but injuries still ruined the No. 1 pick.
Qi Li did not put pressure on the players, but the players themselves were still quite excited.
The morale of the team is high, and many people in the team feel that any of them can be killed.
At the beginning of the game, David Lee and Aldridge exploded. These days, David Lee is really strong.
It is a pity that his weaknesses are still relatively obvious. After other teams study carefully, his weaknesses will be magnified.
The Blazers' best performer was Roy, and the attacking organization grabbed it.
Another genius ruined by injuries, the Blazers may have been cursed these years.
But now the Blazers are doing well and their combat effectiveness is also very strong.
It is more difficult for the Knicks to limit Roy, but they have a whole set of countermeasures for the masters of the forward and guard line, and everyone has played back and forth.
Somewhat surprisingly, the Blazers played very efficiently during the rotation.
The Blazers are not like a bit of a team, their offensive power is more balanced, and the bench is also good.
What Qi Li didn't expect was that Crawford was slow to enter the state and was seized by the opponent.
The Blazers' Outlaw feels hot, and Fernandez also performed well.
Originally the Knicks had a slight advantage in the score, but by the end of the first quarter, the Blazers were already leading by double digits.
Fortunately, David Lee and Randolph were very strong, especially Randolph, who received the good news. This time he was also extremely excited. Even if he was capped by Oden, he didn't care about it. With his huge body, he turned the tide on the inside.
Qi Li really did not expect that David Lee and Randolph would take advantage of the combination of Aldridge and Oden, but it is clear after careful thinking.
Both of them have been selected to the All-Stars, and Aldridge has not yet had a chance to be selected.
Qi Li’s previous memory still affects the judgment a bit. Now the Blazers’ inside combination is at most quasi-All-Star level, and the Knicks are now an All-Star inside combination.
The Blazers are actually not that strong on the offensive end. With the inside play, the Knicks narrowed the gap between the two sides to only 4 points, and the gap in the first half was not a big deal.
"Relax." Qi Li said to the players at halftime. "We just want to play our own rhythm."
"Everyone has to play smarter. I can't get injured on the road. The health of the team is my confidence."
Qi Li's face was relaxed, the players also laughed, defeating the strong team, and three of them were selected for the All-Star. Now the Knicks are worthy of their pride, and the team atmosphere is getting better and better.
The players cannot be said to be completely close to brothers, but the team always wins, the players are happy, and everyone gets along more happily.
Even if some players are not so convinced by Marbury, no one minds what he says now.
Because everyone agrees and his coaching ideas are clear, he leads everyone to win heartily.
In the third quarter, the Knicks players relaxed their minds and played more flexibly on the offensive end.
Oden continued to block shots in the paint, but it did not affect the mentality of the Knicks players. Their offense is still very sharp. Except for Randolph, who is a bit depressed, the offensive efficiency of other positions has improved.
And Crawford has also recovered in the second half. As soon as he opened this point, the Knicks' scoring went up, and the score achieved a lead.
On the contrary, the Blazers' offense is not as sharp as before. The main reason is that Roy's efficiency has declined a bit. The Blazers rely more on the offense from the inside.
Aldridge has shown a good level, he has been blasting with David Lee throughout the game.
However, he is obviously not as active as David Lee, otherwise his physical condition will be better, and David Lee will play very hard.
On the other side, Outlaw's feeling is bursting, and he is also exploding with Crawford.
Qi Li sighed slightly, his ideal team should do better.
However, the current Knicks style is gorgeous, it is very popular with fans, David Lee is the representative.
Even when the offense is gorgeous, players tend to subconsciously ignore the defense. Even if Qi Li can let them implement the defensive tactics, the effect is not so satisfactory.
In the last few minutes of this game, the Blazers actually have to play better.
But the Knicks had accumulated nearly 10 points before, coupled with Qi Li's skills, the Blazers still did not find a chance to comeback.
Fifteen consecutive victories, but Qi Li is still very calm. After taking the first place in the Eastern Conference, the winning streak doesn't make much sense for him. What he expects is the fighting power the Knicks can break out in the playoffs.
In this game, Qi Li also cares a little about Oden and Roy, maybe everyone will have a chance to cooperate in the future.
This is a sequelae of the game, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com will consider whether he has a chance to win when he meets some unique players. Instead of spending a lot of money to get it, he wants to buy cheap.
He bought draft picks in the summer for the sake of bargaining. That is because he can get bargains by opening his eyes, the injury recovery card and the veteran rejuvenation card. This kind of guards can only be used once per player. So Qi Li will consider which players are worth his use of props and have the opportunity to use them.
If you succeed in picking up the bargain, you will die. In addition to building the strongest lineup, playing the coaching game is not about looking forward to high cost performance.
The All-Star weekend is getting closer, and the trade deadline is getting closer.
Messages on various trades are flying all over the world, and before the playoffs, before and after the All-Stars are also the most lively time.
Among them, McGrady and Carter, the two cousins ​​are the most talked about, the Knicks did not mix, Qi Li is very clear that the most screaming trade did not happen, the two also withdrew from the All-Star ranks after this season. Especially McGrady was abolished directly.
What Qi Li made the team pay attention to was the Tyson Chandler trade, which he remembered was a problem.
