Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

At halftime, in the Knicks locker room, the hustle and bustle and happy atmosphere of the past are no longer here. It can be seen that the players are even a little depressed today.

Maybe because I have won too much before, and I haven't encountered setbacks for too long.

Tonight in the first half, playing that is really a powerless!

Yes, it is the feeling of powerlessness.

On the offensive end, no matter it is Anthony or Stoudemire, every attack will encounter huge resistance, and even if they are successful, they will feel very uncomfortable.

The Mavericks' unpredictable defensive strategies made it even more difficult for them to overcome.

There will be man-to-man for a while, double-teaming for a while, and joint defense for a while.

Throughout the first half, Anthony, who was good in singles, made 4 of 13 poor performances.

Although Stoudemire had 5 of 9 and scored 10 points, the shooting percentage was OK, but he had 3 turnovers.

Even Bai Feng, who has always been steady, scored a team-high 11 points, but his hit rate was only 5-for-11. He was not very efficient, and could only be qualified.

That's still the case with the three leaders, not to mention the other players.

JR Smith is like sleepwalking, 0 of 5 shots, and 2 turnovers.

In the past 17-game winning streak, it is not that they have not played the headwind ball, but this is the first time they have encountered the ultimate headwind ball with 20 points in the half.

No one thought that the Lakers could lead the game, how could it be like this against the Mavericks?

Of course, there is no weak team in the NBA, and no one can guarantee that they will always win.

Losing a game is not ashamed, but if you lose too much, your face will always look bad.

It was Xiao Si who stood up. He smiled and said to everyone: "Brothers, be happy, we only lost 20 points. There is time in the second half. Maybe we will catch up with 12."

D'Antoni, who had been sitting in silence for a long time not far away, came over at this time and said, "Do you know what your problem is?"

Everyone looked at him.

"Your problem is that you go to a positional battle with the Mavericks, then you must not be able to beat them. Look at their lineup, they are all designed for positional warfare... To win them, you have to Run, you are much younger than them, as long as you run, those guys will definitely be exhausted." D'Antoni said indifferently.

All of them are like daigo empowerment.

Maybe it's because the Knicks also liked to play positions before, because there were players like Bai Feng and Anthony.

So in this game, when we met the Mavericks who also liked to take positions, we played against them. Everyone cared about how to attack and defend, and did not think about the tactical level at all.

Besides, it's the coach's job to develop tactics, and they don't need to think about it on the field.

Anthony raised his eyebrows, looked at D'Antoni, and said, "You are the coach, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Just in time, D'Antoni explained: "I want to see your ability to adapt on the spot and see how you can play with your opponents without changing the formation... Anyway, now we have decided to enter the postseason. The game is over, then for the rest of the game, we will train our troops and prepare for the playoffs.”

What he said was perfect, and he even explained his "inaction" on the spot in a straightforward manner, and even some substitute players felt that there was no problem.

But Anthony thought to himself: "Okay, D'Antoni, you old fox, you obviously have a way to restrain your opponent, but you don't say... You are arguing with me."

After D'Antoni said this, Whiteboard also remembered.

Yes, this is the biggest weakness of the Mavericks!

Why didn't he think of it before?!

But it's normal. Bai Feng has always considered problems from the perspective of a player. As a point guard, he must first consider defense on the court, then organization, and finally when his teammates are unable to open up the situation. , he will stand up to personal attack.

The tactics that the Knicks can use today are also very simple. Except for Anthony's singles and high pick-and-rolls, the other offensive tactics that can be used do not add up to more than three.

How could he think about it from a coach's point of view?

Thinking of this, Bai Feng felt that he had opened his eyes again. It turned out that what he had mastered was just the tip of the iceberg.

If you want to be a top point guard, in addition to doing your job well, in the future, you must even understand the perspectives of the coaches, and you must understand the whole situation before you can plan a strategy.

D'Antoni's reminder gave him an idea.

At this moment, D'Antoni shook his head and said with a smile: "Bai Feng, if you want to break their defensive formation, in the second half, you have to speed up and run with your teammates, no problem?"

Bai Feng nodded, his eyes were very sure.

D'Antoni patted him on the shoulder: "Very well, then, you go try it.

Whether or not to tell them this, D'Antoni hesitated for a long time.

In his own selfishness, he didn't want to say it, and he wanted the team to lose. In this way, he could better ensure that the team could finally be eighth in the Eastern Conference.

But seeing Bai Feng racking his brains, he suddenly had another idea, so D'Antoni gave him a hint.

When the intermission was about to end, D'Antoni sighed and said to himself when watching the backs of the players walking out of the locker room: "Okay, if you want to win, then let's go and win, speaking of the first round. It seems that no one is so important, if you want to get better results, it's the same as hitting anyone."

Even though the home team fell behind by 20 points, the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene did not decline at all.

When the players returned to the court again, they shouted a flood of slogans, and the whole arena was deafening.

That's the vibe of Madison Square Garden!

"Come on, Knicks, I believe you can create miracles!"

"What kind of miracle is it that you are behind by 20 points, you have never seen the world, and you can catch up with 10 points!"

"It's alright, Knicks, all you need to do is show your vigour and level. As for the result, it doesn't matter!"

"That is, we have been successful enough this season, the task has been completed, there is no need to have too much pressure, and when the lineup is complete next season, then we can soar to the sky.

Perhaps, in the past two decades, or even longer, New York fans have not been so forgiving as they are now.

As the referee blew the whistle, Biyu started.

The Knicks had the ball, Bai Feng pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and he always remembered D'Antoni's reminder.

Play fast!

But how to get up quickly?

In Bai Feng's game habits, he never put "fast" in the main position.

Because his game philosophy has always been "steady".

Obviously, fast and steady are contradictory to some extent.

Because once it is too fast, it is easy to make mistakes and become unstable.

However, what D'Antoni just said is very reasonable.

The old bones of the Mavericks are indeed very slow. As long as they can be mobilized and run, they will soon become passive, or even confused.

The truth is that this truth is correct, but to implement it, there are not many clear ideas.

After all, Bai Feng was a little unfamiliar at this time.

But it has to start with him, because he is the team's point guard.

When Bai Feng dribbled the white ball to the frontcourt, he called Stoudemire for the pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Bai Feng suddenly accelerated and went straight to the Mavericks' basket.

Never mind! Get up quickly and talk about it!

One head plunged into the opponent's basket penalty area, Dirk Nowitzki and Chandler came over to make up the defense at the same time.

In an instant, the space and line of sight around Bai Feng became extremely narrow.

He felt as if he had fallen into a trap.

Fortunately, Bai Feng's passing skills passed the test. He found a passing route, made a false move of jumping up to attack the basket, and then hit the ground and passed it to Stoudemire, who followed up, and the latter made a dunk with both hands.

"Ding, Offensive Choice: Fair, Passing Choice: Good. Solid Value +1, USD +100."

I thought this would be an unreasonable attacking choice, but the feedback surprised Bai Feng.

He was just trying to speed up, so he rushed into the opponent's hinterland and threw it.

This kind of practice of giving up one's own position and attacking the opponent's defensive hinterland was an extremely unreasonable choice in Bai Feng's opinion in the past.

But the feedback from the system is not "bad", which means it is indeed feasible.

And after he took off, he found a very small passing route. Whether it was a jumping pass or a hitting pass that rubbed the opponent's body, it was an attempt with a high error rate.

In the eyes of Bai Feng in the past, it was also unreasonable.

However, the situation turned out to be better than he imagined.

He completed the assist and the Knicks got the points.

The fans at the scene were also applauding him.

This one put everything aside and tried it just for the sake of being fast, and it turned out to be successful?!

Not only gave Bai Feng inspiration.

At the same time, it also gave him a new way of thinking.

Yes, there is no trick to fast!

The real fast is to raise your own speed first, and then deal with any situation after you encounter it!

That's right, think about it carefully, what kind of routine can you have?

No, it is simply fast.

On the sidelines, seeing this scene, D'Antoni couldn't help but stand up. He had no idea that Bai Feng would make such an attempt after he played in the second half after a reminder from himself?! Bai Feng is very savvy.

Because even if it is him, the Knicks will soon be transformed from an offense and defense to a defensive counterattack.

Unexpectedly, Bai Feng directly forcibly beat Kuai out in the positional battle.

Looking at No. 13 behind Bai Feng, he once again thought of the Son of Wind in Sun City.

At this time, Bai Feng's thinking is changing to another direction.

The Mavericks attacked, as in the first half, Dirk Nowitzki took the ball in a high position, and after his teammates all pulled away and did not get a chance, he began to single out Stoudemire.

Another dashing "Golden Rooster Independence" shot.

Bai Feng looked at the direction of his shot and instantly realized something.

It's now!

Bai Feng didn't wait for the ball, he started to accelerate, and rushed towards the opponent's half.

Kidd suddenly realized something, but his body couldn't keep up. He couldn't stop Bai Feng's route at all.

And when Bai Feng started running, it was impossible for his two old legs to catch up.

Dirk Nowitzki's shot really missed, after the rebound, Stoudemire won the rebound.

When he saw that Bai Feng had already accelerated to the opponent's half, he didn't hesitate and threw the ball straight away.

Although Stoudemire's passing level is average, this long pass is not accurate, every point.

However, since the Mavericks' chasing defense can't keep up at all, it doesn't hurt.

After Bai Feng accelerated and waited for the ball, Kidd still didn't catch up.

He easily

The ball goes up, and 2 points are scored.

******

"Ding, Movement Choice: Excellent. Offensive Choice: Excellent. Gain: Steady Value +8, USD +800.

Obviously, it was a beautiful and successful fast break!

This is true both in terms of results and feedback.

The fans at the scene broke out with frenzied shouts again, and they were quite satisfied with the vitality displayed by the Knicks at the beginning of the second half.

******

Kidd, who was running back, looked at Bai Feng with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

D'Antoni on the sidelines even smiled.

Now he is very fortunate to come to the Knicks, because here, he met Bai Feng.

At first, he thought that this rookie point guard was definitely not suitable for him to partner with, and even once objected to the Knicks executives choosing Bai Feng in the draft.

But now it seems that the conclusion that was drawn at the beginning was too hasty!
