Chapter 213 Portland's Great Defeat
After the away game against the Lakers, the New York Knicks won [-] consecutive victories.
But Jeff Van Gundy was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ke's performance. He believed that Zhao Ke broke out too early in the fourth quarter and did not allow other players to participate in the offense when the score fell behind, which did not help improve the team's overall strength.
Zhao Ke felt that one head and two were big, and he was not allowed to score when he went on the field. He watched the stats he had just brushed up slowly drop down.
What kind of game is this? Just don't play!
As soon as the idea was proposed, Van Gundy readily approved it.
It was only then that Zhao Ke realized that the old boy wanted to take a rest from the beginning, but he was too embarrassed to say so.
It's too treacherous to have to wait until I bring it up!
In the early morning of February 2, Van Gundy told the media that Zhao Ke had sprained his ankle during training and needed a truce for four to six weeks.
Zhao Ke, who returned to New York alone, saw the news on the TV at the airport, and hurriedly said: Bah, bah, bah, bah...
Being refrigerated is already miserable, but it is also a curse, this crow's mouth, bad spirit, not good spirit!
But this fake news still shocked many people, Aunt Situ, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Bi, Iverson, Uncle Mu, Marbury, Billups, Big Ben, Tianzun, Jordan...
Everyone called to inquire about Zhao Ke's "injury", and Zhao Ke naturally told his relatives and friends the truth, so as to save everyone from worrying.
As a result, everyone agreed that Zhao Ke, the "most troublesome kid", must have offended the old man Jeff Van Gundy somewhere, so he was banned from the team for such a weird reason at the critical moment of collecting data.
It didn't matter to Zhao Ke, he just had a chance to enter the devil training camp again.
With things like skill packs, you will only find its flaws if you use them frequently.
Last season, Zhao Ke has been hiding it all the time. He never found out that the most powerful skill pack is actually "Day Sky". When Zhao Ke's basic hit rate is reliable, "Day Sky" is equivalent to ten "Meteors"!
In the game against the Golden State Warriors, Zhao Ke discovered how low his true shooting percentage was, and even had to give up his favorite three-pointer and had to go to the basket to score.
So now Zhao Ke is more urgent than ever to improve his true shooting percentage, especially the three-point shooting percentage in the brutal confrontation.
Van Gundy's long holiday approval is really timely!
Before boarding the plane, Zhao Ke had already negotiated with Tim Glover:
100 million dollars, a one-month enhanced version of the three-point shooting devil training camp, Tim Glover's team will arrive in New York with Zhao Ke, and start training immediately.
The plane was about to take off, Zhao Ke's Nokia 7650 suddenly buzzed and vibrated.
A text message from Qiao Rannuo:
Is it serious?
The fat black stewardess cast a dissatisfied look, Zhao Ke waved his hand and quickly turned off the phone.
Since the surprise attack on Valentine's Day, the shy Qiao Rannuo has ignored Zhao Ke for several days.
Now he was scammed by Jeff Van Gundy again!
Zhao Ke, who was very dissatisfied with Van Gundy's crow mouth before, can't wait to write him a thank-you letter. He is really a model of a good coach in the United States!
When Zhao Ke showed a strange smile and was dreaming of spring and autumn dreams on the plane to New York, his teammates were undergoing a terrorist attack from the Portland Prison.
The players of the Portland Trail Blazers are more ruthless than the other:
Dale Davis is a typical defensive insider, with good single defense and assist defense.In particular, his rebounding ability is strong, and he can get more than three offensive rebounds per game. It is still very sure to bully the rookie Nene.
Both Kurt Thomas and Jeff Van Gundy are very clear about the power of former Finals MVP Rasheed Wallace.
The old and solid Scottie Pippen has rarely participated in the offensive end, averaging no more than 10 shots per game.But his defensive skills have not dissipated with the passage of time, and his elusive steals are definitely enough for Matt Harprin to drink a pot.
Alan Houston was absent due to injury, and Bunch Wells, who replaced him, got a big contract this season and is performing desperately, working very hard on both offense and defense.
Besides Derek Anderson, this is a genius who was ruined by Juwan Howard.
In the 2000-2001 season, Derek Anderson averaged 15.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.He was a rising potential star in the league at that time. He was able to shoot suddenly and make a good pass. He could play three positions: point guard, shooting guard and small forward.
In the Spurs, he is second only to Deng Daidai in scoring, second only to starting point guard Avery Johnson in assists, behind the general and Deng Daidai in rebounds, and second only to Deng Daidai in playing time.Excellent offensive and defensive, won the favorite of Popovich, is the Spurs indispensable outside offensive and defensive core.
But in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2000-2001 season, the genius fell into the dust.
Derek Anderson dunked in an adrenaline-filled quick counterattack.
Juwan Howard, who was chasing closely from behind, saw that he could not stop the opponent, so he became angry and dragged Derek Anderson, who was almost flat, out of the air and fell heavily to the bottom line.
Derek Anderson landed on his shoulder and immediately announced his season reimbursement.
Without Derek Anderson, the Spurs were swept 4-0 by the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.Throughout the series, Shaquille O'Neal was restrained by Deng Daida and the general. Kobe, who was supposed to be facing Derek Anderson, was out of the cage. He averaged 33 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds per game, sending the Spurs home with one hand.
Sweeping is not terrible, and whoever is missing is embarrassing.
Derek Anderson, who was reimbursed for the season, is in a contract year. As a result, he was given up by the Spurs during his recovery period. It can be seen that the Spurs' team doctors are not optimistic that he can recover as before.
The same is true of the fact that Derek Anderson was signed by the Spurs and then traded to the Trail Blazers. This talented swingman never reached the heights of the year.
But in the hands of coach Maurice Cheeks, who is good at tuning the perimeter defense, Derek Anderson has played better and better at the point guard position this season.
Although the lightning-like figure on the offensive end is no longer there, the defensive end has become more and more mature.
Derek Anderson, Bunch Wells, Scottie Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Dale Davis, these ruthless people come together, and a lineup that can really prevent Zhao Ke's teammates into blacksmiths has appeared.
The Portland Trail Blazers were the first team the Knicks encountered that had the ability to use the "victory key". Coach Morris Cheeks obviously wanted to practice this legendary tactic, so the Portland Prisons played an almost crazy defense in the opening game.
The entire Knicks team was guarded to death, and without Zhao Ke replenishing blood in time, a big defeat without any suspense was born:
63:99, the Knicks created the lowest score of the season on Portland's territory.
