After playing against the Spurs, D'Antoni gave everyone a day off because they were the fourth consecutive away games, and there was a back-to-back game between the fourth consecutive away games. It was very necessary to maintain physical fitness in advance.
Lian Dao can take advantage of this day to comfort her lovesickness with her senior sister!
In the NBA, some players have sequelae of vacation, which is very obvious. During the holiday, excessive indulgence will lead to a loss of state.
Of course, Lian Dao is not, but after this holiday, he cannot guarantee that other Knicks players will not affect their condition.
However, although the next four consecutive away games were the first game of the four consecutive away games was still very easy.
The opponents of the four consecutive visitors are Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Poland Trail Blazers, and Utah Jazz.
Since Phoenix came to the Knicks, their record this season has plummeted, with a record of 14 wins and 19 losses so far.
Although they traded the old Flying Carter from the Magic, the Suns can no longer play the exciting offense that last season.
Ty Gibson, who came to the Suns by Lian Dao, although he had excellent defense, he and Si were far from being on the offensive end.
The Suns' five starters this season have very average scores, Nash averaged 14.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game; Carter has 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists; Grant Hill has 13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists; Channing Folai has 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists;
Marcin Gotat scored 13 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Judging from the data, the starting points of the Suns' five starters are very average, but the Suns lack a real offensive core, but neither Carter nor Channingfo could compete. Carter's scoring ability and attack ability after a serious injury were largely large
It's down, and now Carter plays more as an outside pitcher.
Qian Ningfolai's three-pointers are very good. As a 2.13-meter tall man, he has a 43.2% three-point shooting percentage, which is really rare, but his body is too thin, and his confrontation, speed and flexibility are not enough.
Excellent, to be precise, Qian Ning Folai is just a space power forward.
He needs someone to attract defense and create space for him to shoot.
If Qian Ningfo comes as the core of the offensive, it will be too easily restricted.
When Nash was at his peak, he could also play the offensive core. When Nash got old, Xiao Si became the offensive core of the Suns. However, after Xiao Si left the Knicks, the Suns had been seeking the offensive core for no reason. This was mainly because the Suns boss was really
I am stingy and unwilling to spend more money to find big-name stars.
The Suns' record has plummeted this season, and the Suns' management is ready to start rebuilding.
On January 7, the Knicks defeated the Phoenix Suns at 121:96 away. As Lian Dao expected, the Suns, who had no offensive core, did not pose any threat to the Knicks in this game.
Although Nash's pass is still very good, his teammates are in a sluggish state in the Knicks' defense and his shooting percentage is very bleak.
Especially as a space power forward, Channing Folai, who was defended by Xiao Si in this game, there was no room for shooting.
In this game, Xiao Si was the one who performed the best on the Knicks. He seemed particularly excited when facing his old club, and his offense and defense were simply extraordinary.
Lian Dao also knew the reason and was willing to help Xiao Si.
To be honest, the Knicks were able to get Sergeant in the offseason entirely because of the Suns' management.
The Sun was unwilling to give in to the restrictions on the last two years of the contract, mainly because they were still not at ease with Xiao Si's health.
In 2005, Xiao Si announced knee surgery shortly after renewing her contract with the Sun. In the 2005-06 season, Xiao Si only returned to play 3 games in the middle of the season. In 2009, Xiao Si underwent surgery due to partial retina falling off, and since then
Glasses are required during the competition.
Before negotiating with Sir, the Suns asked Sir to undergo a physical examination.
Xiao Si agreed to the inspection.
The inspection results show that Sir's knees are currently safe. However, the Suns are still worried about Sir's health, so they insist on setting restrictions in the contract.
Without those restrictions, Xiao Si would be happy to sign the contract extension.
Last summer, Sir said many times that he was reluctant to leave the Sun because his career started with Phoenix and his child was also born in Phoenix. As long as the Sun's contract is satisfied, he will renew his contract.
At that time, Xiao Si wanted to get a maximum salary renewal for her career, and in the 2009-2010 season, Xiao Si's performance was definitely worth a maximum salary contract.
Last season, Sir played 82 games, averaged 23.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, and helped the Suns reach the Western Conference Finals. Although he lost to the defending champion Lakers 2:4, Sir Sir was also in the playoffs.
He can pass 22.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
To be honest, there is nothing unreasonable to apply for a maximum salary renewal with such data.
However, the contract given by the Suns ultimately could not satisfy Sir, so he eventually refused the Suns' contract.
"This is not a proper contract, there are too many restrictions on us, and Amare (Stoedmeyer) is grateful to Saffer and Gentry for being able to sit down and interview him, his love for the moment he is about to leave
Phoenix and his teammates feel sad, but he has to make a change now," said Harby Walter, the agent of Sir, after the negotiations with the Suns management broke down.
The most classic thing about Si in the Sun is to cooperate with Nash's pick-and-roll.
The pick-and-roll of the two is the starting move in the Suns' position offense. Sir's strong body can provide Nash with high-quality cover (Nowski was almost the same period). Nash's accurate projection and unpredictable
The pace makes the defenders hesitate when changing defenses and attacking.
After one block and one break, Xiao Si's downward movement will be unstoppable, just like stepping on a electric gate and slapping the frame vigorously.
And the same is true for this game. Lian Dao transformed into an organizational master in this game.
Lian Dao's organizational passes came from Magic Johnson, whose passing skills are only higher than those of Nash.
Moreover, the most important thing is that as a top scoring expert in the league, Lian Dao has much stronger control over the opponent's defense than Nash.
Lian Dao is also an organizational master who can make his passing skills to the top. He can lead people away and turn stones into gold. In this game, Xiao Si transformed into a top pick-and-roll finisher. He has a strong ability to catch the ball and a fierce impact.
Meng, even if he encounters double-teams from the Sun in the interior, he can still fight a bloody path and forcibly attack cities and villages.
In this game, Sir scored 39 points and 11 rebounds, while Lian Dao scored 27 points and 23 assists.
The Knicks also gave the Suns three consecutive losses with a big score of 25 points.
After the game, Nash hugged Stoudemire with bitter face.
"congratulations!"
Nash said with a wry smile that he knew his old friend had found a new organization master. In this game, the cooperation between Lian Dao and Xiaosi made Nash feel confused. He seemed to have seen the 2005 Western Conference Finals at that moment.
The shadow of his cooperation with Xiao Si.
Although he lost to the Spurs 1:4 in the end, the invincibility left a deep impression on everyone. Duncan was still at the peak at that time, but he still couldn't stop Stanni's scoring. Nash clearly remembered that in the 2005 Western Conference Finals, the 2005
Under Duncan's defense, Sir can average 37.0 points per game, and his shooting percentage reaches 55.2% non-human data.
But everything disappeared, and Nash didn't know what to say about the operation of the Sun's high-level operations. It is estimated that the Sun's high-level regrets the most now is to let Xiao Si go.
Xiao Si has found a starting point again, and the Knicks' record this season has gradually revealed the championship, but where can he go?
He is already 36 years old this year. Nash can clearly feel his speed and bounce, and his reaction has been severely degraded this year. He is no longer the son of Feng Nash, but he has never been able to win the championship in his life, which makes Nash very unwilling to accept it.
He is not short of any honors now. He has two regular season MVPs, seven All-Stars, seven times selected for the All-League All-American Team, two three times, two second time, three times one time. So far, four NBA assist kings, he
The only honor that is missing now is the championship ring.
"When can I pick up that Oblaien Cup?"
Nash suddenly seemed to be asking himself, but he didn't know the exact answer in his heart. If he chose to live in the sun, he might not be able to win the championship.
