There are 7 games left in the year, at 1219 is tomorrow to fight the Knicks, 1221 dozen bulls, back-to-back 1222 against the Timberwolves, 1224 hit the Thunder, 1226 hit the Celts, then rested for another 3 days, 1229 dozen Wasp, 1231 continues to play the Timberwolves. and 11 to pick up a back-to-back pelican.
Everyone can also see that after playing Spurs, we will take a long break and continue to play tomorrow, and then there will be back-to-back, another 3 days, and back-to-back in between. Either tight or idle, which is not conducive to maintaining status. So the schedule is not friendly. In addition, the Knicks are sixth in the East and currently eighth in the league in offensive efficiency. The Celtics and Timberwolves are the top of the East and West, and the Thunder are not weak and the team is young and full of physical strength. So the race is not friendly.
But we still have to take it one game at a time, so let's make a preview of tomorrow's Knicks game.
The Knicks have been on a hot streak lately, and everyone must have heard about Brunson's 50+ 3-pointers 9-of-9, yes, Brunson is in a good state of explosiveness right now, and it is expected that Russell and Rivers and Christie will have a hard time, because Brunson's power, speed and three-point shooting are extremely good, and the three of us....The strength can't be compared, and if the confrontation has the upper hand, even if the movement barely keeps up, it means that the breakthrough is not easy to defend, so how about taking a step to break through the main defense?emmm, 9 of 9 three-pointers on the opposite side, so it's not easy to defend, and I want to make a suggestion to defend three points closely, and let break through, after all, there is a thick eyebrow inside, but if the three points are to open, then it's over.
In addition to Brunson, there is also a Randle, the former child of his own family was more downset before December, and now he is playing a lot of energy, and in early November, he was criticized by major ** articles for only 27% + 22% + 61% of his nearly 9 games 584%+39.5%+82.7% per game, 28+93+5.4。
The two stars on the opposite side are in a state of explosion, and the team configuration also includes DiVincenzo and Barrett, who just beat the Clippers to score 18 points, Hartenstein at 12+10, and a 3D Hart. It's going to be a tough game.
But on the bright side, after this break, the Knicks are all healthy. Shams and The Athletic NBA report that Vincent, who was previously recovering from fluid in his left knee, will return from injury and can play on a physical level, as for the sake of safety, it depends on the choice of cephalosporin.
In this way, Vincent can play Brunson, Van der Biao can play Randle, and Reddish can support both of them, and they can at least match each other.
For Cephalosporin, all I can say is that the new coach needs to grow, and the Spurs should not have rested Russell in the last game, resulting in a lack of organization and three points, and the loss of a win in hand. But in the past, we have to look forward, how strong the West is this year, everyone must have experienced, the Thunder and Timberwolves rose strongly and directly reached the height of the top 3 in the West. After the Rockets added two 3D backcourts, plus Shen Jing's growth, they also occupied the top eight positions in the West, and the focus battle was not at a disadvantage, and it also became a very strong team. At present, there is a Warriors and Grizzlies outside the Western Conference Top 10, that is, the playoff play-off area, and Thompson is recovering with the Warriors who are still competitive Curry and the Grizzlies, who are about to welcome Morant at the end of the 25-game ban and Smart who is about to return from injury, are also expected to strive for the top 10 or even the top 8 and top 6 positions.
So at present, for our Lake, every game is not allowed to be lost, the ranking competition is fierce, even if the midseason championship, it is still packed up by the Mavericks who lack Irving, and the rotation is still not sure to win against the Spurs, a team that trains newcomers to send warmth this year.
In addition to winning, there is another issue that needs to be considered at this stage, that is, the issue of trading. Before 12A few of 15 plus 1After the 15th, Vincent, Russell, Rivers, Hachimura, Prince, Christie, Sifino, etc. can theoretically be traded (Vanderbilt will not be traded under any circumstances), take a look at the chemistry at full strength, make good use of this trade period, and at least determine the rotation even if it doesn't move, and do something that is really beneficial to the team.
At present, Rivers, like James Mei, constitutes the basic plate of my Lakers second lineup and is not tradable. Vincent couldn't see anything, Russell was inconsistent in key games, Christie was inconsistent but mistakes were inevitable as a rookie, and Sifino suggested giving up on being a lottery ticket for another team.
The team lacks a look, and needs a rim-protecting center to share the pressure of thick eyebrows. One or a few consistent three-point points are needed, and the team is currently sparsely three-pointed.
As for LaVine in the trade rumors, if you don't come out of Rivers, you can consider using Russell + Vincent + Eight Inches + Sifino. If you want Rivers, it is recommended to hang ** directly, but in fact, Hachimura doesn't even want to give it.
In short, the month from now is crucial, not only to fight for the record, but also to verify the roster and consider trades. Once it is played well, not only will the record be good, but the value of the player's trade will rise, and the transaction can be reduced or even not traded at all. And once you don't play well, it's the other way around.
So, come on, one at a time. By the way, let's look forward to Vincent's performance. It's not like it's only 7% of three-pointers in a season, you say. #nba#
