Chapter 522: Nerve Knife joins Heat

, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!

They just fought against the Mavericks to the last second yesterday, and the exhaustion in it is self-evident, because everyone must do their best in this kind of game, and there is no so-called three-quarter clock-out treatment.

Therefore, when all the Knicks players arrived at New York International Airport at 5:30 in the morning, they had no energy to go back to their respective homes.

So, everyone went to the hotel arranged by the team.

It is not the first time this season that they stayed in a hotel for home games, and many people know that this will definitely not be the last time.

Although it is already twelve o'clock at noon, Lian Dao and the others have actually slept less than eight hours.

Arriving at New York International Airport at 5:30 in the morning, and arriving at the hotel at 6:00 in the morning, they only had a six-hour rest.

"Good afternoon, Tony!"

Although Lian Dao was saying hello to Tony Allen, his body was lying on the bed and he didn't want to move at all.

But in the end, after countless struggles, he used great perseverance to overcome his thoughts of staying in bed.

At this moment, Lian Dao was really looking forward to the All-Star Game and the offseason. He just wanted to use the rest time to get a good night's sleep.

After getting up, Lian Dao went to the bathroom to wash up, and Tony Allen fell asleep again.

Their training camp is at 3 pm, so Tony Allen still has a certain amount of sleep time; but Lian Dao habitually warms up in advance to get his body into an excited state in advance.

Walking into the bathroom and looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes were bloodshot, obviously I didn't sleep well.

After Lian Dao warmed up for two hours, Tony Allen and a group of teammates also went downstairs to have lunch. At this time, Lian Dao realized that not only himself, but everyone in the Knicks was not energetic.

Even Millsap, who talked the most in one item, and Hayes, who had just returned from injury, were lifeless.

Hayes made his comeback in the last game. He was also unceremonious when facing his teammate Yao Ming in the Rockets era. Hayes, who came off the bench, stood up against Yao Ming toughly every time, and continued to engage in physical confrontation.

It's just that Yao Ming has a height advantage, coupled with his excellent mid-range, it really makes Hayes helpless.

D'Antoni, with two dark circles under his eyes, couldn't help but feel a little worried when he looked at the players' state.

He is first worried about the players' health. If they suffer another injury at this time, it may take the playoffs to pay for it. At that time, it will be difficult for them to have time to adjust back to their state.

The second is that they just lost to the Mavericks in the last game. If they lose to the New Jersey Nets in this game, it will be a losing streak.

Losing to the Mavericks is understandable, a super team, but losing to the Nets, which won less than 10 games, will hurt morale.

Over the years, there have been examples of strong teams losing to bottom teams.

Especially this season, the season has shrunk significantly, and this phenomenon is not uncommon.

Even the Knicks themselves lost to the Bobcats in an upset at the beginning of the season.

This kind of failure has little effect once, but the impact on the team is not good if there are too many times.

This thing is like a swan being licked by a toad. Although his body doesn't hurt, his heart responds.

"Sickle's physical condition is recovering well, but it's best to control his playing time."

"DeMarcus and Zhu's physical condition can only be regarded as barely passing, it is best to control the playing time to about 35 minutes; Amare's physical condition has not reached the passing line, it is not recommended to play a lot of time, and there is a risk of injury... "

The Knicks' strength and conditioning coach is reporting to D'Antoni on each player's physical condition.

The NBA's coaching team is very detailed and has clear tasks. Therefore, some NBA head coaches will actively ask the physical coach for their opinions when arranging the starting lineup.

For example, the most famous rotation master: Popovich.

In the face of a shrinking season, the Knicks have already had players injured because of this, so D'Antoni pays special attention to the fatigue of each player, and he will also take rotations according to each individual's different conditions.

After D'Antoni heard the report from the physical coach, he knew what to do next.

That night, the Knicks narrowly beat the New Jersey Nets at home, and the hero who won the back-to-back game was Millsap. Stoudemire's physical condition did not reach the passing line, so Millsap replaced him in the starting lineup.

That night, the two teams remained at a stalemate in the last quarter, and the battle was very tense. In the end, it was Millsap who hit two consecutive three-pointers from the outside in the last two minutes, which directly helped the Knicks open the score.

Millsap has also improved rapidly this season, especially his three-pointers, which often surprise the team at critical moments this season.

In the last attack against the Celtics before, D'Antoni chose to let Millsap play because Millsap's three-pointers were more stable than Stoudemire.

In this game, Millsap played 38 minutes and scored the second-highest 26 points in the game. He performed very well. If he can maintain this state, I believe Stoudemire should be in a hurry.

With the gradual recovery of Deron Williams and the improvement of Brook Lopez this season, the strength of the Nets this season is actually much stronger than last season.

But their luck is really bad. There is a powerful neighbor around them. They lost to the Knicks twice this season.

The point is, with the Knicks around, the New Jersey Nets' presence is very low.

Especially when the two teams play against each other, even in the Prudential Center, the home court of the Nets, the Knicks have more fans than the Nets.

Originally, there was another team in the league who shared the same illness as the Nets, and that was the Clippers, which shared a home court with the Lakers.

But this season, the Clippers formed the Galaxy Battleship. Although they can't crush the Los Angeles Lakers in popularity, they can at least reach the level of rivalry.

At the same time, in terms of strength, the Clippers this season are also stronger than the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Nets are much worse than the Knicks in terms of popularity and strength.



Two days later, on February 22, the Knicks defeated the Atlanta Hawks at home.

The state of the Eagles this season is not very good. After playing 11 games, their starting center Al Horford was accidentally injured and was reimbursed for the regular season.

In this game, Lian Dao and Stoudemire, who had recovered after the rest, played a synergy effect. The two scored 60 points in this game and clocked out of get off work in three quarters.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】

But then, they lost in back-to-back away games against the Heat on February 23.

This time, the Heat are still strictly defending Lian Dao, and he is not as hot as he was in the last match. Most importantly, the Heat have once again strengthened the bench lineup.

The nerve knife JR Smith returned from the CBA and joined the Miami Heat by accident.

Historically, JR Smith should have followed in the footsteps of Carmelo Anthony to join the Knicks.

But the reality is that because of Lian Dao's rebirth, many transactions have been disrupted.

In particular, Anthony did not come to New York, but went to Los Angeles, but the Clippers did not plan to sign JR Smith.

At this time, the Heat sent up a contract to sign JR Smith.

The Knicks lost this game, in addition to Lian Dao's mediocre touch, and JR's explosion in this game.

Especially in the third quarter, it was like winning a Michael Jordan experience card. They hit all kinds of fairy **** one after another. In the fourth quarter, they helped the Heat establish a winning advantage with two three-pointers.

In the whole game, the four Heat scored 20+.

In the end, the Knicks lost to the Miami Heat 96:105.

The end of the gameThe Big Three of the Heat are excited and carnival, they finally avenged the Eastern Conference finals and the previous games.

After cheering, James exhaled deeply the frustration in his heart.

Since losing to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, James has been suppressed by Lian Dao all the time.

After such a long time, James can finally look down on Lian Dao as a winner.

Now James' mood is somewhat similar to that of Nowitzki's defeat of the Knicks before. They have prepared for this victory for too long and too long.

"The Miami Heat defeated the New York Knicks at home, which also allowed the Heat to achieve ten consecutive victories. Currently, the Heat and the Knicks have the same record. Both teams are 30 wins and 5 losses, tied for first in the league."

The Heat in this game really have a feeling of invincibility, whether it is the strength of the lineup or the degree of running-in, they have reached a new height.
