Chapter 546: Fishing, 1 straight fishing
Under Popovich\'s rotation system.
Duncan is the treasure of the town team, and he must rest in the second game of any back-to-back.
Continuous back-to-back, Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, GDP only choose to play one game each.
For the rest of the game, Popovich handed over to the team rookie Leonard, as well as experienced Mesozoic players such as Diaw, Bonner and Stephen Jackson.
In this way, not only the veterans of the Spurs got a good rest, but also the rookies got a good workout, and their combat effectiveness was also improved.
Therefore, among the Spurs players, the 29-year-old Tony Parker averaged the most minutes per game, averaging 32 minutes per game.
The other main players played less than 30 minutes.
But even so, the Spurs still achieved an amazing 11-game winning streak in the league.
Therefore, in this shrinking season that caused continuous player injuries, the Spurs\' rotation system has been highly praised by many media.
…
After Howard was injured, D\'Antoni actually considered a large-scale rotation of the main lineup.
Therefore, in the last few games, the Knicks have completely started to split the rest.
Although the rotation started, the Knicks are still not weak.
Especially after some substitutes got a lot of playing time, this completely released their desire to attack.
There was no opportunity before, but this time, these players seized the opportunity to show themselves.
For example, rookie Jimmy Butler, as well as Millsap, Hayes, Hassan Whiteside and so on.
They even played more fiercely than the main lineup, especially Millsap.
His wonderful performance on both ends of the offense and defense feels more reliable than Stoudemire who returned from injury.
…
On April 8, against the Chicago Bulls.
In this game, the cheap rice took a break, and the team led by Stoudemire was almost overturned by the Bulls led by Derrick Rose at home.
In the end, it was the advantage of the home court and the depth of the lineup that killed the opponent. The Bulls\' tenacity is indeed commendable.
However, it was not Stoudemire who played well in this game, but his substitute Millsap.
Facing Carlos Boozer, Millsap played more like a starter than Stoudemire.
Especially from Boozer\'s head, rushing to grab rebounds time and time again, helping outside players to cope with screens.
And his playing time in this game is no less than Stoudemire.
Especially in the second half, Cousins was substituted again when he fell into a foul crisis.
Millsap played the fourth position, and Stoudemire went to the fifth position.
In the last minute of the fourth quarter, Millsap hit two consecutive three-pointers to help the Knicks completely establish the victory advantage.
And he also scored a new season high in this game, with 34 points and 13 rebounds.
And, under Millsap\'s defense, Boozer only scored 11 points and 10 rebounds.
In addition to Millsap, Jimmy Butler is worthy of praise.
His scoring is not high, only 5 points and 3 rebounds in the game.
However, under his defense, Luol Deng made 4 of 16 shots from the field.
He made 0 of 5 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was only 25%.
Although Derrick Rose still played well, scoring 36 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, it is a pity that he was alone and helpless.

Every time, they rushed to the basket like a group of lone wolves and scored.
Especially his signature "not slowing down in disguise", Lian Dao, who was on the bench, felt sore in his knees when he saw it.
On April 10, the Chicago Bulls played away again.
Lian Dao appeared on the starting list.
Some fans originally wanted to see Lian Dao and Rose playing the same game!
Unfortunately, the Bulls star Derrick Rose, sprained his right ankle and missed one game.
Stoudemire took a break in this game. Under the leadership of Lian Dao, the Knicks defeated the Bulls in the first quarter.
"Sickle made a breakthrough, faced the double-team and calmly scored the ball, he gave the ball to Danny Green, and Danny Green made a three-pointer at the buzzer..."
"Go in! Hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, Danny Green once again showed his precise three-pointer!"
"40 points, 40 points in a single quarter! The Knicks scored 40 points in the first quarter, and they still faced the Chicago Bulls, which is known as the iron-blooded defense in the league!"
At the United Center arena, Mark Jackson cheered for the Knicks with all his strength while explaining.
After narrowly beating the Bulls in the last game, the Knicks are more aggressive in this game.
Especially in the home court of the Bulls, a violent act of 40 points in a single quarter was staged.
Danny Green galloped down the court, as if already celebrating the game victory three quarters early.
However, after Lian Dao was off the court in the first quarter, even if he played in the next three quarters, Lian Dao didn\'t make many shots.
It felt like fishing for fish all the way. After scoring 21 points, 6 assists and 5 assists in an understatement, he ended up resting.
In the first quarter, Lian Dao used various offensive methods to completely defeat Thibodeau\'s iron-blooded defense.
Coupled with the absence of star Rose, the Bulls\' morale was completely defeated in the first quarter.
So that in the follow-up, even if Lian Dao was not present.
The Bulls did not make effective resistance on both ends of the offense and defense.
In the end, the Bulls lost to the Knicks both home and away.
The two teams have played against each other four times this season, and the Bulls only won one game when the Knicks were back-to-back.
In the remaining three games, facing the Knicks, the Bulls lost completely.
On April 11, the Knicks\' pace of victory still did not stop.
D\'Antoni seems to have just discovered that in his team, the strength of the bench lineup is also very good.
In back-to-back games against the Bucks, D\'Antoni rested three main players.
Only Holiday and Cousins are left, and the rest are substitutes.
However, they are still invincible.
One of the biggest victims should be Monta Ellis, who just came to the Bucks not long ago.
On the defensive end, he was first taken care of by Tony Allen, and then he was entangled by Butler\'s death.
And Brandon Jennings was taken care of by Holiday.
After the Bucks\' two major scorers were restricted, they completely lost their offensive power.
In this game, the Knicks easily defeated the Bucks with 90:76.
The Bucks scored the highest score turned out to be off the bench Mike Dunleavy, 26 points.
The game between the Knicks and the Bucks also let other teams in the league see the horror of the depth of the Knicks\' bench.
On April 13, the Knicks beat the Washington Wizards by 52 points at home, creating the league\'s largest point difference in a single game in a single season.

Lian Dao was still paddling tonight and only played half of the game.
With 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, basically no effort.
It wasn\'t Lian Dao, all the main players in this game didn\'t exert their strength, and it was still the substitute lineup that really exerted their strength.
Jeremy Lin, in particular, exploded in the face of John Wall, the champion of the year.
He scored 36 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in a single game, setting a career scoring high.
Wall was overwhelmed by Jeremy Lin\'s offense the whole time.
Moreover, the Knicks\' second team in this game showed what iron-blooded defense is.
Jimmy Butler and Hassan Whiteside, who got a lot of playing time in this game, formed two lines of defense inside and outside.

Coupled with Millsap and Tony Allen, two defensive gates assisted from the side.
Let the Wizards directly see what is called an iron wall.
Under the Knicks\' defense, the Wizards shot only 24.8 percent.
John Wall made 2 of 12 shots and only got 8 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists under the kind care of Mr. Tony.
Their team-leading scorer was Jordan Crawford.
Facing Jeremy Lin, who is not very good defensively, he scored 17 points and 4 rebounds.
But the shooting rate of 6 of 20 from the field is really touching.
The Washington Wizards originally wanted to build a team with John Wall as the core.
In his rookie season, he averaged 16.4 points and 8.3 assists per game.
At that time, the league was full of expectations for John Wall.
However, compared to his rookie season, John Worming hasn\'t improved much this season.
This season he averaged 16.3 points and 8 assists per game.
Even, compared to last season, his statistics have actually regressed.
You know, the Wizards\' record is the second-to-last in the Eastern Conference, a big team.
Without the need for a record guarantee, Wall is actually regressing.
It\'s like wanting data without a receipt, and wanting a record without a record!
This obviously does not satisfy the fans in Washington.
However, considering that this is only John Wall\'s second year in the league, he still has the possibility of growth and improvement.
Washington fans are still very patient. They are still willing to give Wall a chance and look forward to him.
