Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 62 We won't lose streak!

After the first defeat of the season, the Knicks did not show much emotional change within the team.

The fans also showed no disappointment.

Winning four out of five games in the opening game has amazed and slapped most people in the face.

So that after the "upset" loss to the Pacers, most of the comments from the outside world were that they were too careless, except for the unreasonable lineup.

Of course, losing to a weaker opponent is indeed more tolerant than losing to a strong opponent.

Inside the Knicks, Nate Robinson, who had been asking Lu Ming why he had a [-]% chance of winning in the locker room, didn't have the face to question Lu Ming after being dropped.

Daily training continues.

Lu Ming is [-]-[-]% familiar with the three-point line in the NBA. Given his role as a shooter, this is already one of his strengths.

The mid-range jumper on the face basket, especially the area from one step inside the three-point line to the 45-degree angle on both sides outside the paint area, is currently his big killer.

Finishing at the basket within the three-second zone, although the usage rate is not high, but the success rate is the highest.

As for the daily recovery training of strength, dribbling and passing training, although it does not take up a lot of time, it is also kept in a scientific training volume.

Finally, it is the tempering of post-up singles skills.

At present, the technology is barely mastered, but the grasp of actual combat is not strong enough, and it cannot be used as a conventional weapon. Occasionally, when facing the opponent's defensive weakness, it can be used to take a shot.

Think about playing a shuttle, it is unlikely.

Lu Ming during training is not much different from during competition, and he usually doesn't talk much.

During the break on the sidelines, Lu Ming keenly felt that the atmosphere in the training hall today seems to be a bit different.

After watching his teammates practice for a while, Lu Ming understood what was going on.

Because of the loss in the last game and the strong opponent in the next game, most of the Knicks players are more conscious and silent than usual.

Even, a little weirdly depressed.

"David, there seems to be something wrong with everyone's training mood." At this time, David Li also came to rest on the sidelines, and Lu Ming asked in a low voice.

"Lu, do you know how excited each of us is for the previous four consecutive victories?" David Lee wiped the sweat from his face, glanced at the field, and asked with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded, then shook his head again.

The four-game winning streak has indeed boosted the morale of the team.

But how much it has risen is a concept in everyone's mind, and he is not sure.

"Lu, if you look at all the results of the team's games last season, you can easily find that last season, for a period of time, each of us spent almost every day in the process of losing streak and waiting for losing streak. Two consecutive losses! Three consecutive losses! Four consecutive losses! Even eight consecutive losses! That feeling, now that I think about it, is really cruel! That's why everyone trained so actively after a winning streak and after losing a game. To be honest, Lu, none of us want to taste the losing streak again!"

As the absolute main force of last season, David Lee told Lu Ming why the atmosphere in the team is currently somewhat depressed.

Winning is addictive, just as losing is addictive.

The Knicks "veterans" who have tasted the taste of continuous winning, although they have only won four consecutive victories, are no longer willing to return to the losing streak of last season.

"Don't worry, we have at least a [-]% chance to defend our home court!" Lu Ming looked at the serious David Lee, then at the players who were quietly training on the field, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

David Lee was taken aback for a moment, and then also smiled.

There is no need to ask how the [-]% winning rate is calculated.

He is not Nate Robinson, to simply entangle the purely mathematical meaning of [-]%.

After all, the next thing to face is the little emperor James who won the first regular season MVP last season and is determined to win the championship in the seventh year of his career. If he can't win the championship, he is likely to lose their emperor. The Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers ranked first in the regular season last season with 66 wins.

Fifty percent was already the best comfort he had heard.

And what's even more frightening is that after losing 2:4 to the Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the team's general manager Danny Ferry once again targeted the team's weaknesses in the previous season.

During the offseason, the stimulated Cavaliers uniform went to great lengths, bringing the "Shark King" combination to Cleveland, and almost solved all the problems exposed in the series with the Magic.

At the same time, they introduced Anthony Parker, Jamalio Moon, and rookie Danny Green.

Although the aging O'Neal can't solve the problem of the Cavaliers' inside pick-and-roll defense, the purpose of introducing him is to deal with Howard.

Lost to the Magic last season, the inside is their fatal injury.

In addition, O'Neal in his old age can still become the second player of the Cavaliers who can attract pincers, which will make it easier for Mo Williams to attack from the outside.

The arrival of Anthony Parker and Jamalio Moon added to the depth of the Cavaliers lineup.

It can be said that from the book point of view, the current Cavaliers almost completely made up for the shortcomings of last season.

Not only against the Orlando Magic, the wing players of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics had an advantage in front of the Cavaliers last season. Now, the Cavaliers don't seem to suffer much in this link.

And they also have a better little emperor.

And, one of the greatest, albeit aging, centers of all time.

Therefore, ESPN experts predict that the Cavaliers will achieve a better record this season, with 68 wins and 14 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

Undoubtedly, if the length of the entire season is considered, the overall strength of the Cavaliers does not seem to be able to defeat the weak Knicks at all.

But only from the current two records, the Knicks with 4 wins and 1 loss seem to be so much better than the Cavaliers with 3 wins and 2 losses?
Although everyone knows it well, the Cavaliers at the beginning of the season are still in the stage of lineup running-in.

After all, playing next to the little emperor, if the time is too short, it is easy to get confused about your role on the court.

And, most importantly, tonight, the Cavaliers will face the Bulls at home.

So, the Cavaliers that the Knicks will face tomorrow is actually a back-to-back tired team!
Therefore, the [-]% winning rate is still very well-founded!
"Yes, we have a chance, avoid losing streak, defend the home court! Go, continue training!"

David Lee suddenly felt infinite strength, threw the towel, roared, and went back to the field to continue practicing his middle distance.

歘!歘!歘!
Each one is a graceful arc.

Duang!

In the evening, as James strode into the inside and missed an attack, the rebound was grabbed by Luol Deng. The Cavaliers missed the lore. After a 48-minute battle with the Bulls, they bitterly drank a defeat at home.

3 wins and 3 losses, the Cavaliers have started six games and have not yet shown a strong side.

In an interview after the game, when asked about the game against the Knicks the next day, James froze for a moment, saying that he didn’t hear clearly. After the reporter said it again, he listened clearly and showed strong self-confidence, “We won’t lose in a row!”

"However, your Cavaliers started with a two-game losing streak." The reporter shot back immediately.

"That's why I said that there will be no losing streak, not that there will be no losing streak before."

James responded blankly, then pointed to the somewhat familiar beautiful reporter in front of him, "Next!"

　Nervous and looking forward to the station short around 2 pm. . .
