Chapter 161

It is precisely because the Knicks players are performing normally and they are playing at home, they will feel powerless after losing, not just one player, Li Hai felt it in the subsequent training.

It's not that the opponent is invincible, but fantasizing about defeating the opponent by relying on unrealistic luck.

Thinking about that player breaking out suddenly, or the opponent's core players performing abnormally, Li Hai felt that this situation was absolutely unacceptable.

Li Hai felt the pressure. He was one of the representatives of all-round players in the league. He was good at offense and defense. He had a certain level of shooting, breakthrough and passing. Even if he didn't feel good, he could still help the team.

But he can't ignore the defense like a superstar, and he can score [-] or [-] points at any time to lead the team to victory. He can hit key shots but can't play at this level throughout the quarter.

The playoffs are when stars are needed. How many people in the Knicks can be called stars?

At this time for the Knicks, not all players have played their best.

Because coach Larry Brown demanded the rise of the team and Li Hai, Marbury and Francis, who used to be the bosses of the team, made certain sacrifices.

The styles of the three of them are not particularly harmonious. In order to produce a quick chemical reaction, there are actually some side effects. They suppressed a certain offensive type to form a whole, and they could not exert their full strength in this offensive system.

Their strengths add up to be strong, but they haven't achieved the thorough chemistry that the team is stronger than the individual.

This is the trouble with multiple cores. In total, the Knicks have five core players, the strongest backcourt combination of Lehi, Marbury, and Francis, Eddie Curry as the core inside, and Crawford coming off the bench to enjoy the core treatment.

Not to mention Eddie Curry and Crawford, their positions in the team are relatively lower, but Marbury and Francis fully agree with Li Hai, and they do not think that Li Hai is the first a core.

Many times they gave the ball to Li Hai according to the tactical requirements, but this kind of compromise made them fail to achieve the ultimate.

Having maintained their fitness and increased their training reasonably, they should be even better.

Li Hai communicated with the head coach, and Larry Brown just said that if the team does better in details, it will surely win.

Li Hai knows that the Knicks players are not robots, and the details of the team can't be better than before. Moreover, after encountering a strong enemy, it is likely that under the pressure of the opponent, the tactical execution will be even worse.

Li Hai even proposed that if someone can stand up to Antoine Walker at the 3rd position, he can go to the 4th position to help defend Wade.

However, if Li Hai plays the 4th position all the time, his height and weight are still a bit insufficient. It would not be worthwhile for him to fight Haslem in the interior.

After all, Haslem is only a defensive insider. If Li Hai goes to the inside and participates in defense more, it is not known whether the defensive efficiency brought can replace Antoine Walker's scoring contribution after the limit.

Not to mention that the whole process of fighting on the inside consumes a lot of energy. Haslem is not an insider like Jamison.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Hai still brought over some teammates who usually practiced the ball.

At this time, the role of players may be greater than that of coaches.

Except for a few rookies, Li Hai summoned Marbury, Francis and Crawford.

"Believe me, we have a chance to win a championship this season."

Li Hai directly threw out an astonishing theory, and Marbury laughed, "Of course, our team is very strong this season."

"The championship, even though we have been in the league for a long time, we have always hoped to win the championship." Francis also laughed.

They have expressed their determination in front of the media, but it still feels a little strange to say it so solemnly in private.

"Everyone, I'm serious. None of the strongest teams this year has a clear advantage. There may be accidents in the west, and the same is true for us in the east. This is definitely the most likely time for new forces to take over in the past few years. .”

Li Hai knew about the development of another time and space, but he had no way to really prove anything.

"Please believe me, you must show stronger strength, I will prove it to you, this season is the strongest Knicks."

Crawford said a little strangely: "Li, it's a little strange for you to say that, as if we didn't do our best before."

Li Hai shook his head, "You have all stayed in the league longer than me, you must have felt the effect of momentum, the team did better in the previous games, but we should be able to be more aggressive...I don't I know how to describe it, but you should all understand."

The three of them naturally knew what Li Hai said, morale, excitement, luck... Some illusory things can indeed influence the victory at the critical moment, not only them, even if they are sitting in front of the TV and watching the game, the fans can feel something .

This is different from trying our best to play, but it is different from trying our best to play, it is a kind of desperate, it is a kind of fearlessness, young players can control it, experienced players often only achieve short-lived, just like O'Neal Like the violent attack, he was able to do nearly one quarter, which is already very terrifying.

Both Marbury and Francis have experienced many failures in the league. It is still difficult for them to believe wholeheartedly that they can win the championship, and then work hard in this direction, not only scoring, but also defending and cooperating with teammates. arrive.

Because they will subconsciously resist, fearing that the result will be the same as before, and they will no longer have the strength to support themselves to go on.

At that time, they will face a decline in strength and cannot be integrated into the team, resulting in a full fade out of the league. There are countless such examples in the NBA.

"Well, it's time for us to fight regardless, and I'm almost 30 years old." After a moment of silence, Marbury said seriously.

"Li Hai called us because he believed in us, and we will fight together."

"No problem, I fight every game, and I will leave the game to me when you rest."

The three of them became serious, but Li Hai knew that wanting to do it and actually doing it were not the same thing.

Crawford should have no problem. He has experienced fewer things. Marbury and Francis may be unable to do what they want.

However, this was the beginning of determination, and Li Hai finally expressed his goal without fear.
