Chapter 82: Mid-season trade

"It's very cool, leading a group of strong guys to beat another group of strong guys." Qi Li talked and laughed at the reporter.
"When you can command so many All-Star players, you will consider using those players to build a dynasty. I think I have found my future coaching goal."
Qi Li's remarks also made the media and fans agitated. They felt that Qi Li had communicated with certain players and the Knicks might make big moves in the summer.
Fans who don't like him are very angry, thinking that he is very shameless taking advantage of the All-Star series.
Even some players think that Qi Li has done something, because everyone finally got together so much, and many fans also discussed the joint matter privately.
All-star weekend, the national team training, you know this is the best time to discuss teamwork.
Of course Qi said casually. He followed the excitement of the outside world and returned to the regular season after the All-Star weekend.
It's a must to keep your heart warm. Qi Li is a coach with goals. The family stayed in New York for a few days later. They were all invited Chinese tour guides. Both he and Huang Qi were busy working.
Ye Wenhua went back angrily, but everyone agreed that he would come and play alone in the summer.
After the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks are playing at home, and the players' state is fully adjusted.
However, their opponent is also the Western Spurs, and Qi Li did not take it lightly.
Some players will slack off after the All-Star weekend. He doesn't want the Knicks to be in this rank.
The Spurs were actually not so good in the Western Conference this season. Although they were still selected for the All-Star, their hard power did not suppress the second-tier team in the Western Conference.
The reason is that Bowen is old, Finley is also old, and the Spurs are missing the number three position.
In addition, Duncan is not young anymore and can no longer hold up the inside line alone, and the Spurs have no one at the fifth position.
This situation will continue to trouble the Spurs for several years until they get Leonard.
Spurs relying on gDP, the playoffs are still worry-free, but the competitiveness is not so strong.
The Spurs now use Bonner to play the fifth position and can pull out to shoot three-pointers, but they are also cash machines on the defensive end.
Both sides were busy at the beginning, the Spurs' defense was still very strong, the team's defense was doing very well, and Duncan was also a major gate in the interior.
However, with the adjustment of personnel, the two points have gradually become hot, and the offensive end has begun to explode.
Spurs guard Roger Mason feels good, veteran Bowen also hit two three-pointers, their offense is basically transferred to the outside, Duncan is basically defensive.
The Knicks are slower on the outside, and the first one is inside.
Both David Lee and Randolph performed well, anyway, they didn't beat Duncan, they beat Bonner desperately.
However, after the Knicks gained the advantage, after Crawford made consecutive hits, Crawford did not become an All-Star this time, and was a little unhappy in his heart. This game played extremely hard.
Of course, whether he is fierce or not depends mainly on his shooting percentage. Players like him are confident to shoot under any circumstances.
Crawford broke out during the rotation and scored the highest points of the two teams, and the Knicks also took the opportunity to gain the lead.
In addition to Crawford, Marbury actually played well. The Knicks broke out and the Spurs seemed a little weak. Their overall defense was good but their personal defense was slightly weaker, which was not as good as last year.
The Knicks have a few offensive masters, and Duncan can't help defend by himself.
Except for Duncan, the Spurs do not have the advantage even if Parker is in other points. Although Parker is a stable All-Star, his strength has always been average.
The key is that the Spurs are now out of the game due to an injury, and the rotation is too bad.
In the third quarter, the Spurs' offense was still tepid, but the defense was still very stable.
The main lineups of both sides have not opened, but Qi Li is in no rush.
What should be anxious now is the Spurs, but they really can't help it. Parker is not in the state at all.
It is also a shot after the pick and roll, this Parker is really inferior to Marbury.
In the rotation period, the Knicks began to exert their strength, in addition to Crawford this point, there is Eddie Curry.
The Spurs also have insiders on the bench. Oberto was still the main player last season, but now he is getting worse.
This buddy is too late to enter nBa, now he is getting old, and some can't keep up with the rhythm.
The Spurs didn't want to Duncan, but in the final quarter the situation was wrong and they had to go to Duncan in advance to let him attack.
Duncan has begun to fall, but he is still on the tail of the peak, and the Knicks really can't stop it.
Qi Li didn't panic, letting Randolph go to fight the opponent while focusing on the offense.
The Spurs did not play outside, even if Duncan broke out on the inside, he was able to withstand the situation without deterioration.
It's just that the game has come to the end, and it's useless if the scores of the two sides are no longer opened. If the score continues, the one behind the score will lose the game.
In the last few minutes, the Spurs also started to try more three pointers, but unfortunately they missed.
There is no way, Marbury and Crawford can still score.
So even if Duncan dominated the offensive and defensive ends at the last moment, he did not help the team to recover the score.
After the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks once again won a strong enemy and the winning streak began again.
The season has entered the second half, and the Knicks are in good condition. Now the team has another famous young man who can use the Peak Arrival card, it's Bill Walker.
However, the young man's injury hazards have not been adjusted, and the special attributes cannot be activated. He can use the peak descend purely because the peak in his original trajectory is not strong.
In fact, this type of player is also good. He has made rapid progress in shooting in the past few months and can become a qualified role player. If the Knicks' salary is relatively tight in the future, Qi Li can recruit a few such young people, so the team's There will be no shortage of role players~EbookFREE.me~Wait until the end of the season, when Dragic and Jordan both use the Peak Arrival Card, the team will be truly rich. At that time, Qi Li can put all his energy Put it on researching playoff opponents.
On February 20th, the Knicks played at home against the Raptors.
The Raptors were all playoff teams last season, but this season they became the underdog in the Eastern Conference because they lost their bet on O'Neal.
The Raptors also reacted quickly. They immediately posted the pick to send O'Neal to the Heat.
The trade has just happened, and Marion is estimated to be able to play for the Raptors in the next game.
But in this game, the Raptors undoubtedly lost combat power.
In the buzzer deal, the Knicks also mixed up, sending away Marrick Rose and Jared Jeffries.
This was the prey that Qi Li had been watching for a long time. The Thunder traded Tyson Chandler and finally returned the goods. The Knicks immediately traded with the Thunder to get Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox.
