In the 8th minute of the first quarter, Ke Yan replaced the main players ahead of schedule and went off to rest. Holiday returned to the game and stole Redick as soon as he came back. Pulled to 14 points. (17:31).

The Magic, which was expected to "snipe" the Knicks, was opened up in the first quarter. Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy, who were in charge of commentary on the sidelines, "followed public opinion" and began to discuss about "72-10" difficulty problem.

"Actually, from my own point of view, the team that really played the Bulls' 72-10 feeling in these years is the Dallas Mavericks in the 0607-4 season. When the Dallas Mavericks started the season with a 78-game losing streak, they won 67 games in the next 11 games. A record of 12 wins and 17 losses, including a loss to the Warriors at the end of the season with all the main players resting. They completed three 4+ consecutive victories during the season, including the longest round of the season with [-] consecutive victories. They have MVP Novi Sky, with Josh Howard who can enter the All-Star in the Western Conference, has a complete set of offensive and defensive systems and a fairly thick bench lineup. If the [-]-game losing streak in the opening stage is not too eye-catching, I think they can play in the season The medium-term outlook is documented, and some of the details are better handled.

If you compare the current Knicks with that Mavericks team, we will see many similarities.An MVP player who is recognized for his strength but has never been involved in a championship, a young star who was entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the coach when he first entered the league, a complete set of offensive and defensive systems, and a corresponding bench lineup.The difference is that Kimi's Knicks were on fire from the start.No chance was given to the opponent.They have achieved the ultimate in all aspects. Even if the starting shooting guard is injured and absent for a month, there are still people who can top it.The only games they lost were back-to-backs, and with all due respect, the Spurs were able to end the Knicks' winning streak largely thanks to the Warriors, thanks to the outbursts of Jennings and Ellis. "

"Judging from the performance so far this season, I would think that this Knicks team is more terrifying than that Mavericks team. Their suppression is more incomprehensible. It can rely on the personal ability of the players to solve the problem. If there is no unexpected situation, this is a team that people can look forward to." Having said that, Mike Breen chose to silence, leaving room for it.

If the same situation happened to the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks or even the Eagles, Mike Brin would have the confidence to shout "the record must be broken", but it happened to the Knicks, New York, Knicks, these two The words are connected together to highlight a "rotten", you never know how unlimited things they will do.

Holiday has completed "steals, counterattacks, and one-stop dunks" as soon as he debuted, but after all, he has been out of battle for a long time, and his offensive feeling has not yet recovered.In addition, I am not good at organizing offense. At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were recovered by the Magic.

After the first quarter, the two sides battled to 29:37, with the Knicks leading by 8 points.

Although Holiday did not perform well, at the beginning of the second quarter, Ke Yan still put him on the court to find the feeling of the game.Players are not robots, let alone codes with stamina bars and status arrows in the game, but living people.After returning from injury, it takes time to find the feeling of the game and some opportunities to "make mistakes". With a certain error tolerance rate, Ke Yan is willing to give more time to the players he trusts.

Moreover, although Holiday's performance on the offensive end was slightly stretched, but on the defensive end, he quickly recovered his state and faced the streetball king with full suppression!

Reaching the Finals for two consecutive seasons, the Magic have been very successful in the past two seasons.In addition to the strong starting lineup, their bench lineup can also play.The bench lineup of Alstom, Redick, Pietrus, Bass, and Gortat is considered top-notch in the league.Except for the slightly weaker Pietrus at the small forward position, other people mentioned the starting lineup, which will not affect the strength of the starting lineup.

Four minutes before the second quarter, the Magic's bench lineup had an 4:11 advantage, and the point difference was narrowed to only 8 points.At this time, Ke Yan brought James, Curry and others back on the court to stabilize the situation.

With James and Curry on the field as two ball-holding points, Holiday was freed from the heavy responsibility of organizing and focused on defense. Then he and James reproduced the power of the league's strongest defensive duo and helped the team play Highest quality outside pressure.

The Knicks completed quick counterattacks one after another, playing a wave of 14 to 3 attacks, and opened the point difference to 16 points in one go. James scored eight consecutive points through fast breaks and scored more than 20 points in the half.

For the Magic, Peja can only act as an outside shooting point, and it is difficult to provide other help to the team; Nelson is unable to move an inch under the pressure of Holiday, and has lost his previous scoring ability; Howard has never been a player who can kill inside. Special kill core insider, the Magic's offense can only hope that Turkoglu and the two inside pick-and-roll offense or Howard's inside strong play.The former is monotonous with little change; the latter is inefficient and can easily be forcibly interrupted by foul tactics.

Seeing that the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, Van Gundy could only call a timeout again, replaced Peja and Gortat, and tried to use a big lineup to block the penalty area and limit the Knicks' inside offense.

This hand adjustment received a miraculous effect.After Gortat stood in the penalty area, both Howard and Josh Smith were liberated and swept the perimeter. The Magic's protection of the penalty area came to a terrifying state.Their perimeter defense is slightly insufficient and cannot keep up with the Knicks' rotation, but Van Gundy's thinking is also simple and rude.Strangling Curry like this, James and Holiday can give them the right space to shoot from the outside under the right circumstances.

Van Gundy bet on the feel of James and Holiday, but the two did not disappoint Van Gundy. In the second half of the second quarter, they shot 6 of 1 from the field, allowing Van Gundy to win the bet and Ke Yan noticed It's not good!

Historically, this year's Heat team was counterattacked by the Mavericks through zone defense.At that time, the Mavericks were sure that the Heat's outside shooting was unstable, and they desperately aimed at this.

The current Knicks team, only talking about the starting lineup, also has such weaknesses.The team's outside firepower is a bit "false prosperity". First, Curry is the number one outside shooter in history, and one person can raise the Knicks' outside line from production to efficiency to a very high level; People like Hughes, Korver, Horford, and Casspi also shot at a fair level.Including James and Holiday, the shooting percentage is also around 33%, which is not outstanding, but it does not hold back!

But if you put it on a higher-level stage in the playoffs or even the finals, when the opponent defends the "one-to-four" and strangles Curry, Ke Yan can count on Horford, James, and Holiday's three-pointer. points?Can the "soft guys" like Casspi and Korver be useful in the playoffs?

This matchup with the Magic just exposed this "crisis" of the Knicks, or weakness.Ke Yan did not make substitution adjustments, but hoped that James and Holiday could respond on the court.

But the development of the situation has become that Holiday is a little afraid to vote, and James, as the team leader, has begun to throw the blame again.Curry and West, under the heavy defense of the Magic, were forced to assume a large number of offensive development roles, and the Knicks' offense began to decline.

At halftime, the score came to 59:65, and the Knicks' lead was reduced to 6 points.

"Funwind kobolds, headwind kobolds!" Ke Yan cursed in his heart, and put Korver into the team's starting lineup for the second half during the intermission.

Korver replaced Holiday, and the team's outside firepower was significantly strengthened, but in the middle of the second quarter, the team's terrifying defensive deterrence disappeared.Nelson was liberated from this point, and even the offense of the Magic team improved;

On the Knicks side, the lineup is more reasonable, the offensive environment is greatly expanded, and James also has more room to play.This is a common problem of James' team. You really need to tailor a lineup for him, equipped with a second offensive point, equipped with a high-quality inside line, and the best shooter, so that he can concentrate on playing his comfortable role.

You can't say that this kind of equipment is not good, because with Ke Yan to lay a good foundation for the team, it is possible to win the championship.But what if James' team doesn't have the wealth that Ke Yan has worked so hard to save?Then you can only sacrifice the future of the team, squeeze out all the potential of the lineup, and deploy the corresponding players to fight in the short term.

Ke Yan suddenly thought of Curry's "Messi" personality, and thought of the forum, Messi fans and Ronaldo fans sprayed each other as "football James". Ibrahimovic's compatibility is even better. "Whoever wins Ibrahimovic wins the league", James has dominated the Eastern Conference for eight consecutive seasons since 11, which is indeed a strong achievement; similarly, both Ibrahimovic and James also have the so-called "self-contained system" style of play , the team they are in needs to build a lineup and develop tactics around them; both of them are also called "three-surname slaves" by black fans. . . . . .

Compared with offense, the Magic, which reached the finals in the past two years, could not beat the Knicks, not to mention that the Magic has shown a clear downward trend this season.Although the backcourt combination of Korver and Curry is not very good in defense, there is James behind him, and the Magic itself lacks a player who can crack the perimeter and cannot catch the Knicks' loophole.

Instead, on the offensive end, Curry and Korver hit consecutive three-pointers, and by the way, it created a big open opportunity for James with no one three meters in front of him. James raised his knife and dropped his outside shooting percentage.

At this time, the past of Stan Van Gundy's H2H being stronger than Keyan's is not convincing at all.In a sense, he just caught Ke Yan's "trough period" and smashed a wave of winning percentage. If you let him fight Ke Yan head-on, it won't be cheap.

"Horford, hit a three-pointer! The point difference came to 20 points! There is not much suspense in the game! The Knicks ended all games in 28 with a record of 1 wins and 2010 loss! This is the most brilliant start in history, no One! Maybe we can expect another surprise from Kimi this season!"

Mike Brin on the sidelines shouted excitedly, but Ke Yan on the sidelines faced the victory in front of him, but he didn't have the joy he imagined, but his face was a little serious.

Stan Van Gundy's strategy in the second half of the second quarter restrained the Knicks' regular starting lineup. Although this was achieved by relying on the amazing athletic ability of Josh Smith and Howard, it did not represent the rest of the league. The coach will not be inspired by it, and in some more critical games, no one can guarantee that the Knicks will not encounter corresponding difficulties.

Only by solving this problem can the Knicks continue to overcome obstacles in the coming seasons.

The final score was fixed at 103:118. The Knicks dismantled the Magic in an away game. After the 22-game winning streak was ended, another wave of 6 consecutive victories started.

"I don't know how many games we can win in the end. I just hope that it will be as perfect as possible, whether it is the regular season or the playoffs. Frankly speaking, Knicks fans may not have the opportunity to experience such a great season again." After the interview, Ke Yan said.

. . . . . . .

Ke Yan and Wang Lifan usually confirmed their relationship on New Year's Eve from 05 to 06.If the situation permits, the two usually go out together on this day for New Year's Eve, but this year with the baby, Wang Lifan can't fly away, so the two can only postpone the celebration for one day and celebrate at the restaurant on New Year's Day.

"After June of this year, I can take a good rest for a while. At that time, you can also put down your work, and we can go to Otaru, Prague, Rome, Valencia, Kenya, wherever you want. "Ke Yan said.

"With Irene here, do we have so much time to go to so many places?" Wang Lifan smiled, wondering if there was enough time.

"I haven't finished yet. Stephen plans to propose to Ayesha with the championship ring. They may hold a wedding in the summer. We still have to find time to attend their wedding." Ke Yan thought for a while and added, "Don't worry, There must be enough time, at least I will rest until the end of the year."

According to Ke Yan and Yao Ming's plan, after the 2011 finals, the two will completely leave the NBA in a short period of time.Do not accept any official assignments, do not talk about any NBA-related topics in any interviews or activities, and even Yao Ming will not hold his own jersey retirement ceremony during the season.Ke Yan will not accept any relevant invitations from the Basketball Association and CCTV, and return to ordinary people as much as possible.

In principle, there is only one, starting from the two of them at their own level, and not giving the NBA any chance to create topics and spark heat. The colder the NBA is in China, the more meaningful it is for them to come back by acquiring teams.

Don't feel like trying in vain.Statistics show that after Yao Ming retired and Kobe Bryant declined, the influence of the NBA in China declined for a period of time, and many fans gave up the NBA intentionally or unintentionally.But later, the appearance of "Ku Ritian" brought some of them back to the TV.

. . . . . . .

In the first game in 2011, the Knicks ushered in the Magic at home.During pre-match training, Curry felt some discomfort in his right ankle. After communicating with Keyan, he temporarily withdrew from the game.

Curry's ankle is the "key point" of Keyan's protection, and any problems are absolutely not allowed.He didn't play, Korver was temporarily transferred to the starting lineup, and partnered with Holiday in the backcourt.

The starting lineup of Holiday + Korver + James + West + Horford has a feeling of "enhanced Cavaliers VS Magic". James feels that the teammates around him are stronger than the Cavaliers teammates from last season.

But in terms of the effect of the game on the court, this improvement does not seem to be enough to help James beat the Magic.This is also very normal, not necessarily, the Knicks are already strong enough to lose an All-Star in front of the battle, and they can still beat the third place in the Eastern Conference, right?

Without the threat of Curry outside the three-point line and the lack of a second single RBI point, Howard and Josh Smith have a frame protection and a sweep, which is enough to limit the "one-star four-shot" system dominated by James.The team's offense can't start the situation at all. This is also James' biggest helplessness when he was in the Cavaliers, whether he was facing the Eagles or the Magic.

The final score was fixed at 96:112. The Knicks lost at home and suffered a black opener in 2011. At the same time, this was the team's second loss since the season.

"The muscles around Curry's ankle are a little sore, and the specific situation is still unknown. But it also reminds us to protect Curry in the following games." Ke Yan said.

In fact, before participating in the press conference, Ke Yan had already obtained Curry's report, and there was no serious problem.But Ke Yan is very concerned about Curry's ankle, so he decided to discuss with the medical team whether to let Curry take a proper rest so that the ankle muscles can get the best recovery.

"During the 22-game winning streak, due to external pressure, I didn't let you rotate. But now that the winning streak has ended, I don't have any burden, and you don't have to bear any burden! Besides, now that Holiday has returned, the ball The team has enough manpower." Ke Yan persuaded Curry.

After a brief communication, Ke Yan arranged for Curry to "take turns" for the next two games against the Bucks and Bulls, and then returned in the game against the Mavericks.
