Chapter 430 The big drama is on stage in turn!

On November 11, the Knicks challenged the Memphis Grizzlies in an away game. This Grizzlies are very powerful. There are black and white bears Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph on the inside, small forward Rudy Gay, Rudy Gay at this time It's still the guy who flew into the sky and escaped from the ground with his Achilles tendon intact. Mike Conley, who entered the NBA in 16, has begun to enter his peak period, averaging 07 points, 17.2 assists and 6 rebounds per game.

The team also has Tony Allen, a defensive leader, Jerry Bayless, Speights, Pondexett, Tony Roten and other powerful players.This Grizzlies team is really a very powerful team. In fact, they did achieve excellent results this season. They all became the dead souls of their men, and finally met the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals before losing.

Facing the Grizzlies, the Knicks were defeated. The Grizzlies used their solid defense to tell the young Knicks that you want to beat us, and it is a little bit less meaningful.

Conley's defense against Thompson was very successful. Now Thompson can only run off the ball to catch the ball, and his singles ability is still weak. Conley's off-ball defense ability is very strong, and Thompson is restricted.

Tony Allen pestered Gatsby, of course he couldn't restrain Gatsby, but his stalking made it difficult for Gatsby to organize the team, in fact, it was also because it was difficult for other people to run Out of position, Gatsby could only continue to pick and roll singles. Although Gatsby scored 48 points, the team still lost the game.

Green was blown away by Randolph. Randolph's low-post ability is too strong. Green's survival speed is not as good as Randolph's. Instead, Randolph rubbed left and right and made several fouls.

Dragic, who was originally scheduled to break his career record, failed to perform well. The Grizzlies' defense was so good. Gatsby apologized to Jackie McMullen on Twitter for the first time: We lost tonight. I lost the game, and no player on the team played the best of his career. I lost this bet. I apologize to Mr. Jackie McMullen for offending him, but the young people on our team are Excellent, I still recognize it to this day!
Dragic was very guilty about this matter. He found Gatsby in private and apologized to Gatsby, but Gatsby didn't care. He told Dragic that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The undefeated division, the Grizzlies are already very strong, and it is normal to not be able to beat or not play the best of their careers, so there is no need to feel guilty about it.

Gatsby's consolation did not make Dragic feel too good. He didn't get much playing time in the Knicks. He felt that it was a waste of time in the Knicks. He found Donnie Walsh and hoped that he would be trade.

After Gatsby learned about this, he also understood Dragic. Dragic deserves a better future. He really doesn't have many opportunities to play in the Knicks now. It's better to let him go to other teams to shine. So the deal was agreed.

Donny Walsh later brought news to Gatsby that the Suns were willing to negotiate with the Knicks about trading Dragic and asked Gatsby who he wanted.

Gatsby thought about it and proposed PJ Tucker, and Donnie Walsh would talk about the rest.

On November 11, Donnie Walsh told Gatsby that the deal had been completed, the Knicks sent Dragic, and the Suns sent PJ Tucker and a protected first-round pick.

Tucker was a marginal person in the Suns. Donnie Walsh didn't quite understand why Gatsby wanted such a player. He was too short and had no ability to hold the ball, but Gatsby's ability to see people was extraordinary. Donnie Walsh Ersh didn't ask much, but because Donnie Walsh was not satisfied with the deal, he insisted on getting a protected first-round pick, which was a surprise.

Gatsby wants to come to Tucker, mainly because of Tucker's desperate defense. He can play both big and small forwards. If Green can't handle it in the game, he can have more choices.

In the following schedule, the Knicks are no longer as strong as last season. Basically, they win a game and lose a game. , This kind of team is basically a team that delivers food in the playoffs.

The difference from the Knicks is that the Miami Heat are in full swing this season. Since the start of the season, they have won consecutive games and rarely lost. After the end of November, the Heat have won 11 consecutive victories, while the Knicks have a record of 13 wins and 7 losses. , ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, it has been confirmed that the Knicks have missed the championship this season.

Both Donnie Walsh and Gatsby have suffered a lot of criticism. Even though Gatsby averaged 35.3 points, 11.3 assists, 8.2 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game, they were attacked by experts as a reason - Gatsby is a cancer, even if Data like this can't lead the team to win, it's not a cancer!
Another team in New York, the Nets, has performed very well. It has won 10 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. .

The Milwaukee Bucks got Stoudemire. With Jennings and Monta Ellis, they played a very good game. Unfortunately, when they played against the Houston Rockets, Stoudemire injured his knee in the game. After the game, the Bucks announced that Stoudemire The meniscus is torn, and the season has been reimbursed!

What happened to the Knicks is not a big deal, because the Los Angeles Lakers in the west performed a Hollywood-like good show. After the super F4 gathered, the Lakers were the biggest favorites to win the championship, but the season began with a bad start of 1 win and 4 losses. .

After that, Kobe and Howard were at odds, and Kobe's crazy singles to rack up points on his own aroused a lot of doubts. After that, Kobe began to focus on the main attack. He thought the Lakers were finally on the right track, but injuries began to strike.Howard, Gasol, Ci Shiping and others suffered injuries one after another, and Buss passed away from illness. The management began to become chaotic, and the entire Lakers seemed impetuous.

Relatively speaking, the Knicks are relatively lucky. Although they are also losing, their team atmosphere is still very good. It is full of vigor from top to bottom, especially the progress of the young people is visible to the naked eye. Green His overall view is getting better and better, his passing is more targeted, and his defense ability has been thoroughly developed.

Gatsby took Thompson and Leonard to train, mainly to train their singles ability. They must have the ability to attack in the face of misalignment. With Gatsby alone as a core, it is easy to be locked in the playoffs. Thompson and Leonard must step up.

While personal ability is improving, teamwork ability is also improving. With the integration of Green, Iguodala and others into the team, the Knicks' teamwork is getting better and better, and the five small lineups are gradually showing their strength. It's powerful.
