Chapter 887 Conflict within the team
Chen Yan scored 44 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds. Curry, who was feeling hot tonight, took away half of his shots.
库里砍下34分5助攻3篮板，他在三分线外的表现很惊人，11中7得到21分。
It is not unreasonable for many people to position Curry as a pure shooter, because more than half of his shots in each game are completed from outside the three-point line, but in terms of his personal technical characteristics, he is more than a pure shooter. Curry can organize and break through, and has the ability to stand alone.
It can only be said that he doesn't need to do too much around Chen Yan, he just needs to shoot three-pointers with peace of mind.
The Spurs' GDP combined for 55 points, most of which were completed by Duncan and Parker. Tonight, Duncan scored 19 points and 11 rebounds, Parker scored 26 points and 5 assists, and Ginobili only scored 10 points.
Leonard scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists tonight. After watching this game, the commentator felt that the Spurs had found a treasure. With the 15th pick, they have cultivated such a guy who can score and defend. The key is that Leonard looks like Diligent and conscientious, he looks like he will obey the coach's instructions no matter what.
At the press conference, Duncan said: "We were a little stunned by the Knicks' offensive frenzy at the beginning, and it was the same in the second quarter. We finally got a little better in the second half but were quickly suppressed by them. If we want to win against the Knicks, The team has to do better at the start."
Popovich said: "The Knicks played to their strength, and the Spurs did not play to their own level. We will do better next time we meet."
After beating the Spurs, the Knicks' next opponent is the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies and Spurs are a bit similar, both are traditional positional teams.
It is difficult for such a team to win against the Knicks, unless they are in peak condition or the Knicks are in a downturn. After all, two points cannot win three points.
The Grizzlies average 13.5 three-pointers per game, ranking last in the league and nearly 4 fewer than the second-worst Jazz.
What the Knicks are least afraid of is this kind of traditional team, not to mention that the Grizzlies don't have a superstar like Duncan. Gasol and Love are both good, but they are not the ones who can decide the game.
Just as predicted before the game, the Grizzlies did not cause too much trouble to the Knicks.
The two teams were still inseparable in the first half, but in the second half the Knicks opened up the gap as soon as they picked up speed.
Speed is the Grizzlies' Achilles' heel.
In addition to speed, the Grizzlies also have a weakness, and that is pick-and-roll defense.
The Grizzlies basically relied on the mobility of Gay and Conley to defend the pick-and-roll. The Knicks took advantage of this to consume the physical energy of the two outside players. Conley and Gay's shooting percentages dropped significantly in the second half. This was their tactical victory. .
The Knicks' victory does not entirely depend on the individual ability of the stars, and D'Antoni proved this tonight.
The Knicks defeated the Grizzlies on the road 102-89.
Chen Yan scored 27 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds. This data is quite satisfactory for him.
After 7 consecutive victories, the media have speculated on which team can end the Knicks.
It wasn't a difficult win for the Knicks, but Jordan had to work very hard in the paint. He had to take turns carrying Love and Gasol.
After winning this game, Jordan ran back to a New York nightclub and played all night to reward himself.
The temptation of New York is no better than that of other cities. Once you are not restrained, you are likely to sink.
In the next two days, Jordan went to nightclubs to play in the middle of the night. Little Jordan gradually lost himself in the screams of the hot blonde girl.
On November 11, in the game against the Pacers, Jordan was in no condition and only scored 18 points and 3 rebounds.
Hibbert, who faced off, scored 20 points and 16 rebounds, completely beating Jordan.
If it weren't for Chen Yan and Curry's hot touch, the Knicks might really capsize at home.
In the end, the fierce battle lasted until the last 10 seconds to determine the winner.
Chen Yan took away the game with a three-pointer that was a sure winner.
The score was also fixed at 99-96.
Although this game had twists and turns, the result was good, and no one blamed Jordan.
But that night, Little Jordan continued to hang out in the nightclub. He completely forgot what Chen Yan said to him last season. Little Jordan only knew that he was like a king in the nightclub, and all the black and white girls leaned on him. It’s no problem if you take away three or five with your breath.
One day later, the Knicks lost to the Mavericks in back-to-back games, and their eight-game winning streak came to an abrupt end.
Jordan had an exaggerated performance in this game, scoring 0 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block. He fouled out and left the game before the third quarter was finished.
The Mavericks blossomed inside and outside, suppressing the Knicks on both offense and defense, and finally won the game 115-110.
Back in the locker room, Beverley fired at DeAndre Jordan mercilessly.
"Hey! Man, it's time to take control, the club will destroy you."
Beverly's words were very straightforward.
After hearing this, Jordan's powder keg immediately exploded.
"fxxk! Who are you? Who do you think you are? Get away clown!"
There is only one boss in Jordan's heart, and that is Chen Yan. Even if it is Curry or David West, he will not buy it, let alone Beverley, a substitute player.
Beverley also had a hot temper and responded directly: "I just expressed my teammates' feelings! You ruined our affairs and ruined our victory!"
"Shut up! Go and look at your water cooler. Whether you win or lose has nothing to do with you."
"Calm down, everyone!"
When the conflict between the two was about to escalate, Chen Yan stepped forward.
When Beverly and Jordan saw Chen Yan standing between them, their anger instantly disappeared, and they walked away cursing.
Although the two closed the microphone, the conflict was buried.
On November 11, the Knicks defeated the Hornets 21-105.
The next day at the training ground, Beverley and DeAndre Jordan broke out into a team conflict.
The reason was that Jordan covered Curry and directly overturned Beverley.
Looking back, Beverley broke through and kicked him, almost killing Jordan.
The conflict between the two escalated and they were directly preparing to fight at the training ground.
At this time, Chen Yan stood up again.
Chen Yan shouted twice first, but both of them were in the middle of the crowd and did not hear Chen Yan's words.
Seeing that violence was about to happen, Chen Yan had quick eyesight and quick hands. He first knocked down Jordan and then Beverley.
I'll do it before you do it. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
The other teammates were dumbfounded. It was the first time they had seen someone trying to break up a fight like this.
The two regained their composure after standing up from the floor, but the conflict still persisted.
Cracks appeared within the team, which put Chen Yan in trouble.
From entering the league to now, Chen Yan has always been the master of the court, but dealing with conflicts in the locker room is not what he is good at.
That night, Chen Yan stayed in the study until very late and didn't sleep.
"Why are you still up so late today?" Swift opened the door and asked.
"Think of something." Chen Yan said.
"Is it the conflict between DeAndre Jordan and Beverley?"
After Swift finished speaking, Chen Yan turned around in surprise: "wtf!? How did you know?"
Swift smiled bitterly: "Everyone who is online knows this, okay?"
Chen Yan was helpless. After the training, the coach convened a small meeting with the players and on-site staff, telling them that they must keep secrets. Chen Yan also made a speech, telling everyone not to say anything that is not conducive to unity.
As a result, the matter spread quickly, and Chen Yan had to lament the old saying, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
"How's it going? Have you figured out how to resolve the conflict between the two of you?"
"The easiest way is to send one away." Chen Yan paused: "Or send away both."
Swift nodded: "Sending away those who ruin the team's atmosphere is indeed the most direct way."
Chen Yan shook his head: "That would be too incompetent, and both of them call me boss, and they are both important role players in the team. Who should I send away?"
"Then we can only talk to them."
After Swift finished speaking, Chen Yan nodded: "We have to talk about it."
Life cannot be smooth sailing, and the atmosphere within the team cannot always be harmonious.
When a group of big men get together, they will always encounter some collisions and conflicts. At this time, the boss must stand up and coordinate.
