Chapter 214 This Unsuspecting Chinese Derby

The Knicks beat the Bulls and didn't forget to give Rose a bite before leaving. They moved to the away game overnight. They will usher in the second back-to-back of the season in New Jersey.

In other words, the Knicks' schedule this season is not bad. So far, there are only two back-to-back games, which is more than a star and a half better than the Lakers next door who have played 4 back-to-back games and will usher in consecutive away games in February next year.

And even if it was back-to-back, it was already [-] o'clock in the middle of the night when they landed at the New Jersey airport, and the Knicks generals who got off the plane did not have the slightest sense of crisis.

Young Ewing, who had just scored 7 points and 4 rebounds, was in a good mood, and was discussing with Zuo Li hooking shoulders to find a night snack near the hotel.

Randolph, who had just slept for two hours, joined the discussion by rubbing his stomach.

As for why not go to a nightclub for some nightlife.

How can the nightclubs in New Jersey be compared with those in New York? Otherwise, the Nets would not have moved the team to Brooklyn. Even Larry Hughes, the only remaining nightclub prince in the New York team, mentioned Not interested, let alone other people.

For the Knicks and the rough guys, apart from their interest in New Jersey's pop queen Whitnet Houston, it is the famous food here that can arouse their interest.

As for the most famous former US President Woodrow Wilson here, oh ho, what the hell is that.

"Let's go, if everything goes well, we can catch up with the training tomorrow morning." Zuo Li waved his hand, and a group of 10 people went to the restaurant in downtown New Jersey.

What?What do you mean about tomorrow night's game?

What kind of team was the Nets in the 2008-2009 season? Zuo Like knew the Nets very well in his previous life because of the relationship with the United Arab Emirates. I believe many old fans from that era are also very clear. Knowing this era, there are countless Chinese fans and experts analyzing the Nets every day in China...

Simply put, Carter can still play a dozen, but Carter was injured a week ago, and the return date is undetermined...

In the first 21 games, the Nets lost 13 games and are currently ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.

It feels acceptable, and even has a chance to hit a wave of playoffs, but almost all of them were played when Carter was there. After Carter was injured, he lost two of the three games.

What is even more desperate is that not only Carter was injured, but Durin was also injured in the last game...

The rest, whether it is rookie Lopez or Harris, who played well in the Mavericks, are not the kind of players who can be the boss of the team. The strength of a group of supporting actors is difficult to reach the playoffs even in the Eastern Conference.

And Zuo Li knows very well that the Nets can't play against the Knicks, not to mention the team, but the matchup. Brook Lopez is also an old acquaintance. His speed is extremely slow, and he is poor in pick-and-roll defense. Zuo Li is him. Natural nemesis.

As for the UAE, Randolph is not very easy to defend, but they still have David Lee. Against development, David Lee is still more offensive than the UAE.

As for the outside line, I won't mention it. The people traded by the Knicks are much better than the Nets. Except for Harris, the Nets are rotten fish and shrimps.

What's more, there are only 7 healthy people on the Nets roster.

So the Knicks, who arrived in New Jersey overnight, ate a supper comfortably, returned to the hotel happily, and did not forget to bring two 2Ks with Ewing as entertainment before going to bed.

Naturally, the guest tonight is Zuo Li, and the purpose is naturally to celebrate the 6-game winning streak just won, which has become a reserved item in the Knicks.

Whenever there is a festival, or when the team achieves a good record, Zuo Li will invite the whole team to dinner, or go to the gym, movie theater, or other places for team building.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of gifts.

As for the reason, it is of course because Zuo Li is the leader of the team, not only on the court, but also off the court.

Conquer teammates and coaches by strength on the court, but not by strength alone off the court. Interpersonal communication is a very complicated matter. Although everyone cannot be satisfied, it is very important for a group to unite most people.

For Zuo Li, this is what a qualified leader should do. To put it bluntly, since you want to be the boss, you need to take corresponding responsibilities.

On this point, Zuo Li has been doing well.

The benefits are also obvious. The pleasant night did not affect the state of everyone in the Knicks. Although it was back-to-back, the Knicks took a 25-15 lead in the first quarter under the leadership of Zuo Li.

Regardless of the fact that the Knicks only scored 25 points, it was because the Knicks were based on defense and did not continue the strategy of rushing and playing as soon as they came up. Instead, they played positions with the Nets one by one and played at a slow pace.

This is also D'Antoni's efforts to enrich the Knicks' tactical system.

He also suffered a loss. If the Suns had learned to slow down back then, they might have a chance to make it to the finals. So when he came here, D'Antoni really made some arrangements.

Looking at this quarter, although he is not very skilled, with the two insiders Zuo Li and Randolph, positional warfare can still be fought.

What worries Chinese fans is the state of the Nets. The Knicks generally won by 10 points in the first quarter, but only scored 15 points in one quarter, which shows how poorly the Nets played.

Especially the UAE, 3 for 0 in the first quarter without a single point, which can be very anxious for domestic fans.

In China, this game was regarded as a yellow derby between Zuo Li and Alian. It attracted a lot of attention, and CCTV and Tencent both broadcasted it live.

Before the game, he also seriously analyzed the technical characteristics of Zuo Li and Ah Lian. Who would have thought that such a situation would happen in a fight.

Zuo Li didn't score high in the first quarter, only scoring 6 points, but his influence on the court can be felt by anyone who has watched the ball, and it is not at the same level at all.

Ah Lian failed several backs, especially in a direct confrontation with Zuo Li. Zuo Li's long arms made Ah Lian pass the ball without turning around.

This gap made domestic fans sad for a while.

This is not beyond Zuo Li's expectations. The UAE did not play well in the NBA. Apart from injuries, the biggest reason is that it has not found its own position.

Ah Lian and his team hope that Ah Lian will become a star like Dayao, so what Ah Lian has practiced most in the past two years is back-up.

But the back-up is really not suitable for Ah Lian, especially in the NBA. Ah Lian's excellent physical fitness among Asians is not enough to support his back-up. He is not tall enough and his wingspan is not enough. The key is that his physical strength is not enough If you can't go up, it's enough to face the league's fourth position with a back-to-back.

In fact, he is more suitable for developing his own shooting ability. Like Okur, he can become a big man who can shoot. At the same time, it is better to develop some defensive abilities, such as strengthening rebound control. This can be learned from David Lee. Even if he does not become a superstar , but relying on one-handed shooting and rebounding is much better than the UAE.

But obviously, the current UAE is completely unaware of this problem.

In the second quarter, Ah Lian still made 4 of 0 shots and scored 7 point only by free throws. On the contrary, Zuo Li still scored 5 points with steady output, and David Lee, who was facing Ah Lian, scored 4 points on 8 of [-] shots in this quarter. , in excellent condition.

It was not until the end of the game that the Arab League finally scored a goal in the sports game, but at that time Zuo Li had already clocked out of get off work, leaving him with 27 points and 12 rebounds, and a double-double in 22 consecutive games.
