Chapter 399: Van Gundy has become a "Chicken Soup for the Soul" coach?

"Indeed, I just checked the information. This year's substitutes for the Hans are probably the strongest in history. There are all-star players, defensive champions and scoring champions. Not to mention that this lineup may really be able to play. Starters like the Knicks."

Teacher Xu also agrees with Director Zhang’s point of view. He doesn’t have much confidence to help the Knicks at this time. Even the Knicks scene is too ugly. Even if Kobe and a group of substitutes can crush you, he can still Say something good.

The strength of the Hans' bench may only be traced back to the bench group that Bruce equipped for the Sonics in the past few seasons.

I have to say that the Han Chinese team is indeed very strong this year. This team has been revealed from the inside out that I want to win the game, which is really incredible.

...

At the end of the first quarter, the Hans led the Knicks by 15 points at 36:21 and entered the break time.

Kobe has the absolute right to shoot. He only scored 20 points on 8 of 8 shots in the first quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 4 assists. Such gorgeous data can only be found on Jordan. By the way, it can be said that only in the first quarter, Kobe has already completed the task of 20+ in this game ahead of schedule. The feel is really hot!

This is still the score played by the 4 Hans who started the game after only 3 minutes of the game and then came off the court. Kobe replaced the 4 players alone. This completely shocked the media reporters and commentators on the scene. They did not expect the third place in the East. The Knicks were defeated by the Hans in such a fragile blow. Does the Knicks have to be beaten for three consecutive games? !

The media reporters are now thinking about the next few games. This is basically gone. If the Knicks find the feel and still have a little head in the future, if they can't find it, they will basically give up.

Of course, all the Knicks players who returned to the bench were expressionless, drinking water on their chairs, and Van Gundy didn’t know what to say. A 15-point difference, to be honest, there are still three quarters of the game left. It can be recovered, but this must be based on the belief that the players must have victory and the Han people can play frequently. This is very difficult.

What's more, the mental state of the players is obviously affected now. It is not normal to catch the score by the pursuit of victory, and Van Gundy is not willing to lose at this time. He has to fight for it, right!

"Don’t think about it so much. It’s just 15 points behind. It’s nothing. Think about the Jazz in the West. They are 36 points behind the Nuggets and they can still recover. What does this mean? It means that as long as we don’t give up, we can still create. It's a miracle!" Van Gundy continued to clap his hands to encourage his players.

Yes, the Jazz can be reversed if they fall behind so much, 15 points are considered a P!

Now all the Knicks' player mentality adjusted back.

To illustrate, the Jazz's 36 points behind the Nuggets are real.

On November 28, 1996, in the Jazz's home game against the Nuggets, the Jazz fell behind by 19:37 by 18 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, they lost by 17:33 in a single quarter by 16 points. 36:70 behind by a full 34 points, the entire second half was almost garbage time. The Jazz fell behind by 36 points after the start of the third quarter, but under the leadership of Karl Malone and Jeff Hornacek, the Jazz recovered 21 points at 36:15 in the third quarter and trailed by 13 at 72:85. The score entered the fourth quarter, and they once again played a 35:18 lead in the fourth quarter, and finally succeeded in reversing the victory with 107:103. The 36-point reversal is also the largest recorded reversal in NBA history. In this campaign, Karl Malone scored 31 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists. Jeff Hornacek scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. He was the Jazz’s biggest contributor to the reversal of the Nuggets led by Bryant Stitch. .

This is also the score when the biggest difference in NBA history reversed.

Since the Jazz can do it, the Knicks can do the same, and this belief is slowly spreading on the Knicks bench.

...

Also on the bench on the other side, the players of the Han team were still chatting and laughing. They all felt that the pressure on them from this game was not great and they could eat their opponents without blood.

"Kobe, you can take a break in the second quarter, then I will arrange you to play according to the situation!" Paul Westphal said Kobe's name.

Because Kobe played the first quarter of the game, so it’s good to take a break. Besides, it’s one of his coach’s responsibilities to get more substitutes on the court. It’s just the superstar who stays on the court to fight, what if he gets injured? Well, the reason why the Han people have been injured so little over the years is the rotation system, even in the playoffs.

As the prince said, it is completely unnecessary to ruin his career for a championship. Since the boss does not require results, his coach will not require these players to keep pulling in a game!

"Coach I can still play, the Knicks in the first quarter brought me little pressure, I..."

This is Kobe’s first playoff trip. He doesn’t want to leave any regrets. He doesn’t want to make a round trip in the gutter. Even if the Knicks’ state is worrying today, he has to seize the opportunity to knock down his opponent. Football There are all things that rewrite the score at the last minute. Basketball is not the same. A Han talent with 15 points may not be insured. If you are on the court, you may be able to stifle the opponent's counterattack as soon as possible, and try to kill the opponent in one breath. Give up the game completely.

According to Kobe's plan, he is only willing to rest until the Hans can win the game. But now the coach has asked him to rest at the beginning of the second quarter. Doesn't he need to refrigerate his hot touch? !

"Kobe, you have to know that this series is going to win 3 games. A momentary victory is not a big deal. But what if you play too long and get an injury? It's okay to take a break. You Obey the order!" Paul Westphal interrupted Kobe and gave him a severe order to die.

When playing the regular season, Paul Westphal can still rely on Kobe’s temperament, because he knows that Kobe’s aggressiveness is the strongest on the team, and he doesn’t want to beat Kobe’s enthusiasm, but the playoffs are different. Ah, this is going to pull the whole body together, now is not the time for Kobe to play tricks.

"Dale will play for you at the beginning of the second half, and Steve will also play for you, and Mark will play for you."

Replace Kobe and Nash with Dell Curry and Mark Jackson. There is no doubt that Paul Westphal has something to consider. The Knicks will definitely have to attack in the second quarter. At this time, veterans are required to play on the court. With Mark Jackson's experience and stable organization coupled with Dell Curry, who is good at scoring, Paul Westphal believes that the Han people can still remain invincible.

At the same time, if the game progresses unsatisfactorily, then he can also switch to Nash and Kobe as the two new players, so that when they are replaced, they can also play their advantages together, right!

Dale Curry and Mark Jackson also nodded. These two old guys are both old-fashioned fritters. They can do whatever the coach tells them.
