The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 1374 The one who is ignored is the most powerful

Being too young is generally considered a statement of high emotional intelligence, because if you change the situation, the feeling will change without changing a single word.

Therefore, the true feelings of the outside world at this time should be: The Knicks are too young.

Being young means endless possibilities, but it also means it will be hard to achieve anything in the playoffs.

There are even so-called experts who are planning the Knicks' rebuilding route. For example, Los Angeles's second-most inflated media even consoled the Knicks: "It's OK. Compared to other teams that need to rebuild, you just need to grow up."

Many people think that the new season for the Knicks is almost over, and some have even speculated that the Knicks brought in these new players for the future.

For example, Magic Johnson said on ESPN's late-night show that the Knicks' deal was actually not bad.

"The future is promising."

Although Curry, Klay and others performed well last season, the team's bench has strong players like Lou Williams and Danny Green, which to a certain extent divided the development of Curry, Klay and others, while Seth Curry, Al-Farouq Aminu, Batum and others do not grab the ball. There is no doubt that Curry and Klay will get more opportunities in the new season, especially with David Lee slowly aging and suffering more injuries in the interior.

So if they train like this for a year or two, continue to improve, and if Zuo Li maintains his form, the Knicks will have a chance to regain their glory.

I have to say that Magic Johnson understands basketball.

He understood what Knicks meant, which was also Zuo Li's intention.

But it's still not quite accurate.

Because there is no need for the future, next season is the time for Curry, Klay, and the neglected Draymond Green to truly explode!

In fact, their strength has reached a new peak, but as Magic said, the Knicks' playing style and personnel configuration weakened their performance.

And in the new season, Zuo Li is going to completely liberate them!

In the first practice of the new season, the Knicks' tactics underwent a drastic change!

A whole month!

The Knicks completely changed their tactics, and the results...

"Trust me, we'll just have to wait for the new season to start, and you'll be surprised!"

This is what coach D'Antoni said after the first four preseason games.

At that time, the reporters did not comment or take it seriously.

Because the Knicks had 2 wins and 2 losses in the first four preseason games, their performance was really average.

Although Zuo Lijun only played for 10 minutes, it was the same in the past and it did not affect the Knicks' undefeated preseason record. So this time, even if Zuo Li continues to improve, the Knicks do not seem to have a particularly reliable helper.

The most crucial thing is the tactical confusion. Not only did they not go to the inside, but as the game progressed, a "god-like" lineup of Curry, Beverly, Klay, Iguodala, and Green appeared.

The best player in this lineup is Andre Iguodala, who plays as the power forward...

The inside player is Draymond Green who is 198cm tall.

In the third game against the Spurs, a photo of Green and Duncan, one old and one young, one tall and one short, squeezing together to secure a spot went viral on the forum.

Although... this lineup has good offensive firepower and decent defense, but...

"Without rebounds, you'll never win the game," Popovich said after the game.

In this game, the Spurs doubled their rebounding lead 29-12.

So with this kind of performance, the reporters probably wouldn’t believe anything D’Antoni said, and some even advised D’Antoni to change the tactics, because the lineup is too abstract. If you don’t know, you’d think it’s a high school team building…

However, despite the complaints from reporters, coach De still went his own way.

This also allowed the Knicks to end this year's preseason with a record of 5 wins and 5 losses.

This also created the Knicks' worst preseason record in the past eight years.

It is conceivable that the public opinion the Knicks are facing at this time must be very bad. After reading the news outside, you may even think that the Knicks should be disbanded.

Many die-hard fans can't help but worry about the Knicks' current situation. Even though they know that one preseason game can't prove anything, they will be affected to some extent by the noise from the outside world... right?

……

Of course not!

The atmosphere within the Knicks team remains harmonious, and even more harmonious than before. The ten preseason games have allowed everyone to know what they should do and have also allowed several new players to completely integrate into the team.

Yi Jianlian is one of them. He was originally worried about giving up the high salary in China and choosing to continue to pursue his dream in the United States. After all, this is the Knicks. When he received Zuo Li's call, he even thought Zuo Li was playing an April Fool's joke on him.

But during this period, after Zuo Li's guidance and being influenced by the atmosphere within the Knicks team, Alian has completely integrated into and fallen in love with this place.

He also found his position!

A high turret on the outside and a pick-and-roll executor at the top of the arc!

To be honest, although he was a substitute, he felt that this period was the most comfortable time he had played in the NBA.

季前赛场均12分钟场均7.8分4.5篮板，场均可以投进1.2个三分球，三分命中率38.6%。

"Well done Alian!"

Zuo Li is also very satisfied with Yi Jianlian. To be honest, Yi Jianlian's level is okay, but his physical strength is not enough and he is prone to injury, so it is more appropriate for him to play as a substitute. Moreover, he is not suitable for breakthrough play. Although he prefers to face the basket, in the Knicks, all Yi Jianlian needs to do is to shoot the damn ball.

There is no need to defend too much, there are other options to defend Zuo Li.

Even though Yi Jianlian was the slowest to integrate, he has already found his feeling, so there is no need to worry about others.

Batum, in particular, is worthy of being one of the most useful championship puzzles in history, plug-and-play and of good level.

As for Rooney, all the rookie needs to do this season is to train hard and guard the water dispenser.

After talking about the new players, let’s talk about the Knicks’ biggest treasure in the new season.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson.

These two have actually already shown their potential, but they were overly brilliant because of Zuo Li and were suppressed by the Lakers' backcourt in the finals, which led to them being overlooked again.

In the new season, where no one else can see, the Knicks have already tilted their tactics madly towards these two people.

What about the status of the two?

brush!

brush!

brush!

...

If you walk into the Knicks practice facility, you can hear the sound of the basketball hitting the net.

If you walk a little further, you can hear the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the quintessence of America…

"Fuck, Stephen, you can't shoot better than me, your shooting percentage is too bad!"

"I'm so proud of you, but you can't dribble or shoot! You still need me to pick and roll for you!"

...

Mm, very energetic!

But apart from them, the three-point shots of others have become more and more stable. Except for Adams, everyone else can shoot it.

Including chasing dreams.

He also had a lot of fun practicing at the top of the arc.

Of course, Zuo Li strictly controls Draymond Green's three-point shooting on the court.

Not only is the throw inaccurate, but the movements are also really ugly...
