Chapter 382. Chapter 383

April 12

Since the five-game losing streak in the away game, the Bobcats finally returned to the home game.

In the first game back home, they will face the New York Knicks, who currently outshine the Hawks.

This is also a very rare good news for the Bobcats. After all, they have experienced a five-game losing streak in away games. The Bobcats urgently need a game victory to end this decline.

Facing the Knicks, who are ranked last in the league, this is simply a sound of nature.

However, before the game, Liu Rui also focused on deploying some key points to the players. Even in the face of the Knicks, the Bobcats must not be careless.

Because the current Bobcats can no longer lose this game, if they still lose against the Knicks at home, I am afraid they will be sprayed into a pile of shit after the game.

Even though the Knicks introduced champion coach Larry Brown in this year's new season, they still failed to lead the New York giants out of the predicament.

Because the current Knicks players are all fighting for their own, if there is no complete change of blood, even if anyone goes, there is nothing they can do.

Marbury, Crawford, and Shark Curry, when these three players get together, they can figure it out even with their toes. This one ball is simply not enough to play.

In addition, Larry Brown has always been a head coach who emphasizes defense, but after arriving in the Knicks, he can be said to be getting thinner day by day, and he wants to cry but has no tears.

Because no matter how he roars off the court, the players on the court will always look at him in surprise.

"Defense? What is that?!"

However, although this Knicks team has a very poor record, it still cannot be underestimated.

What should not be underestimated is that he must not let his star complete convulsions in a game.

Otherwise, whether it is Marbury or Crawford, these two players really want to shoot endlessly, and it is enough for other teams to drink a pot.

And Liu Rui and Knicks head coach Larry Brown are also half-old acquaintances. After all, the two teams staged a thrilling conflict in last year's playoffs.

Although the Bobcats team led by Liu Rui faced defeat in the end, in the eyes of everyone, this is already a very incredible thing. You must know that last year was the first year since the establishment of the Bobcats team.

As the game started, the two sides also announced their starting lineups:

Knicks:

Marbury, Crawford, Quinyan Richardson, Frye, Shark Curry.

Bobcats:

Mo Williams, Joe Johnson, Granger, Wallace, Okafor.

Facing the Knicks, Liu Rui didn't send Christie, because he knew very well that the Knicks' defense was really bad.

If you don't take the initiative to adopt some tactics on the offensive end, then I'm really sorry for such a poor defense.

As soon as the game started, even after so long, the Knicks still didn't make much progress. On the offensive end, whoever got the ball basically completed individual singles.

Once faced with double-teaming or when there is no good opportunity, and then pass the ball, once the ball is passed, and then want to come back, it is really a dream.

Therefore, in the face of the Knicks' offense, Liu Rui did not make too many adjustments and insisted on man-to-man defense.

After all, the efficiency of this offensive method is too low.

Even if Kobe likes to play singles with the ball, he will at least play a triangle offense, instead of just throwing directly with the ball.

In addition, the Bobcats' defensive ability on the field is also considered very good.

Except for Mo Williams, the defensive efficiency of the others is in the upper stage at all positions.

But when it came to the offensive end of the Bobcats, the players on the field let out a long breath.

These recent losing streaks have also made the players feel insecure and feel a lot of pressure.

Especially in the few games against the Jazz, the defensive pressure faced on the offensive end is simply not at the same level as the Knicks at this time.

To be precise, they are not worth comparing together.

It is a simple off-ball movement that can easily run out of opportunities to shoot, which was something Bobcats players didn't even dare to think about during the previous Western Conference road trip.

But facing the Knicks at this time, it feels like a wolf entering a chicken's den and doing evil.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats did not have any suspense:

32:24

Leading the Knicks by eight points ended the first quarter.

And 33 points in a single quarter is also an offensive rhythm that the Bobcats have not played for a long time. In the previous road trip to the West, the Bobcats have been pressed to about 20 points in a single quarter.

So facing the poor defense of the Knicks, everyone in the Bobcats let out a bad breath.

But this made the Knicks a little depressed.

"You are obedient when you fight against a strong team, but you hit hard when you fight against a weak team, tui!!"

After returning from the second half, there was no suspense in the contest between the two substitute lineups.

The Knicks' second unit, led by Nate Robinson, looked like a practice game to the Bobcats' bench.

At halftime, the Bobcats were at home with:

66:48

A big score advantage of 18 points leads the Knicks.

Just half a quarter passed, and the suspense of the game was basically lost. The chances of the Knicks being able to make a comeback in the second half are simply slim.

Sure enough, even though the Knicks kept struggling after returning from the second half, they struggled to chase points under the leadership of Marbury and Crawford, and never gave up.

But crushed by absolute strength, the Bobcats easily ended the game with:

121:93

28 points to beat the Knicks.

After the victory, everyone in the Bobcats also ran excitedly on the field. Those who didn't know thought that the Bobcats won the playoffs.

Seeing the young players finally express their sulking, Liu Rui smiled off the court and did not interfere with their behavior.

After all, compared to veteran players, the emotions of young players are always more easily driven by people.

The oppressive feeling of the team's previous losing streak also made young players feel very uncomfortable.

Even though the Knicks, who were at the bottom of the league, won at this time, it still made the young players feel bad.

However, the opposite of the Bobcats is the Knicks. Seeing the faces of the Bobcats winning the game also made Marbury feel a little angry.

"As for Mad, didn't you just win us a game, as for being so happy?!"

Mo Williams, who had become Tieguanyin on the road trip before, finally broke through.

在本场比赛中17投12中，三分球11中6，罚球5中4，直接重拳出击的砍下了34分4篮板2助攻的高能数据。

Liu Rui, who was watching off the court, was also speechless. He really responded to that sentence. You are obedient when you play against a strong team, and you punch hard when you play against the Knicks...
