New York's Madison Square Garden, unable to wait for the "polite" Trae Young, the Knicks less than the number one public enemy singing a monologue, Christmas war naturally becomes boring.
At a time of turmoil, the team's concerted efforts to make rebounds contribute to Kemba's milestone, the team atmosphere improved significantly, and Randall's "black hole with the ball" symptoms were slightly alleviated, which was far more meaningful than winning a game of uneven personnel between the two sides.
The Knicks took the Eagles lightly, and Kemba Walker, who scored 44 points in the last game, won the first Christmas game triple-double in team history since 1947.
He has averaged 26 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in four games since his comeback, and it turns out that even all-stars who have fallen off the cliff in form will not be disqualified from the bench.
In contrast, the Knicks only won 3 in the 10 games in which Walker was abandoned, and then dragged out the emergency due to personnel shortages to achieve miraculous results, and Walker's average playing time was also "retaliatory" to 40 minutes.
Thibodeau was forced to "get lost and return" and it was not too late to make up for it.
What is the impact of Rose's absence?
After experiencing a major injury and being able to transform perfectly, based on the league's shining star list, it is difficult not to think of Rose at the first time.
The youngest MVP winner can still try to reconcile with his former glamorous self after a thousand sails, and it is really valuable to be willing to play a supporting role.
At present, Rose, who can maintain an average of 1.4 three-pointers per game with 40.2% of the crosshairs, has begun to play a real peripheral sapper under the iron-blooded defensive system of the teacher, and has become the most stable backcourt reliance in the Knicks connection section.
The core of the playoffs, Randle, lost, big brother stepped up against Trae Young, even in this turbulent season can play a shot in the arm to meet the needs of the team.
Rose's right ankle surgery this time, conservatively estimated to have an injury absence of 8 weeks, means that the already poor Knicks lack a ball-carrying engine in the second team, and they also need to be selected for the rookie second team Quakeley to carry the chaos, but it is too hasty to expect him to take on the organizational responsibility.
Judging from Randall's current projection state and the Knicks' staffing, insisting on him as the big core of the ball and trying to replicate the offensive rhythm of last season may be difficult to achieve.
However, Walker + Fournier shouldered the authority of the deputy attacker and shared the pressure to stabilize the situation, and it may not be able to help the Knicks outside the play-off ranks to break out of the siege.
If the ball carrier does not win by quality, he must strive for numerical superiority, but fortunately, Walker, Fournier and Rose, who is expected to make a subsequent comeback, can take over a certain amount of organizational drama, so as not to overload Randall and mislead himself.
Randall relinquished the organization of the ball and blocking initiative to return to the backcourt, as appropriate, add personal cover wall down the aggressiveness of the attack frame, rather than just thinking about controlling the ball, the world I have, limit yourself to the front all-round single hand or external shell battery positioning, I am afraid that is the only way for the Knicks to break the game.
The management took Walker's back and failed, and the Big Apple City was not able to save it from the fish belly ranks, and the sense of falling from the top half to the accompanying run must be unacceptable to New York fans.
When the time comes for a new round of purges, the meritorious commander and the kai dynasty heavy ministers may not have the gold medal of death.
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
