When we arrived at the airport, we didn’t wait for too long, and then we received our father-in-law and mother-in-law. The old couple was so happy that the child who had been waiting for so long was finally realized.

After someone took care of her, Xue Ding became more relaxed and returned to the team to train the next day. Her teammates expressed warm congratulations and were very happy about Xue Ding's return to the team.

It will be a terrifying away trip soon. As the main force, the more you can prepare together, the more confident everyone will be.

He had physical exercise in the morning, and mainly engaged in internal confrontation and analysis video in the afternoon. After the training, Xue Ding rushed to home as soon as possible. He was so worried and worried that he couldn't rest assured.

Fortunately, Yaya's parents are all there, and Xue Ding feels relieved when she sees her wife being taken care of very carefully, especially her father-in-law. In the past, she always asked Yaya to serve her husband more. Now, seeing that her daughter is pregnant, she has no requirements for this, which makes Xue Ding feel much more at ease.

On March 20, Madison Garden Stadium, as the most famous basketball square in the NBA, has a holy land-like existence. Madison has a long history, but the Knicks, who sits at home, does not have the fame and strength to match it.

Troubled by injuries, the most difficult time is just like the Trail Blazers, with only 7 players playing. In order to get James, make room for the team, trade transactions, and buyouts, making the team's normal operation more difficult.

The biggest feature of the Knicks now is that there is no star in the whole team, so the overall condition is very unstable. They swept past the Lakers, the championship last season, but they lose more because they rely on their own performance.

But this did not affect the fans' love. Faced with the visit of the Trail Blazers, the Knicks did not have any pressure. The fans were also very excited under the leadership of DJ.

As the first away game, the Trail Blazers prepared very well. Before the game, Xue Ding made three-pointers and felt very good.

Knicks starters: Chris Duhon, Danilo Gallinari, David Lee, Wilson Chandler, Jeffrey

The Trail Blazers starters: Xue Ding, Batum, Jimcomman, Ad, Chandler.

Relatively speaking, the Trail Blazers' lineup has been very stable. After two months of running-in, Xue Ding has now assumed the heavy responsibility of the entire team.

The referee whistle sounded and the game began.

Chandler's hand that easily jumped the ball was transferred to Xue Ding. Xue Ding held the ball through the half and handed it directly to Ade. This is Xue Ding's current common playing style. First, see how his inside situation is, and then decide on the subsequent strategy.

Ade held the ball at a high position, and Garinari was defending the back. The two were the same height, but Ade still had an advantage in terms of physical strength, so under Ade's back, Garinari kept retreating.

Chandler was not easy to face Jeffries, who claimed to be the highest defensive efficiency group in the league. He was tall and long. Although his strength was relatively weak, his movement speed made up for this lack. Continuously moving around the front defense made Chandler very tired to deal with it.

Adr's position was already very deep. As soon as he turned around, Jeffries made up and made a quick move, almost blocked.

Garlinari received the rebound and passed the ball to Chris Duhon. The Knicks launched a counterattack and advanced very quickly. David Li took the ball and turned left, and scored a left hand to score two points for the Knicks.

When Xue Ding saw this situation, he decided to come by himself. Chandler's defense was fine, but playing with the ball is a big weakness. You must create space to achieve its greatest effect.

Facing David Li's defense, Xue Ding dribbled the ball from his crotch twice in a row, directly passing David Li, and rushed straight to the inside. Garlinari moved horizontally to make up for defense, but for Xue Ding who had already jumped, he did not give him a chance to make a foul, and he dunked his hand.

In the first three rounds, the two sides tied 2:2.

The Knicks' policy next was very simple. The three 210 heights on the field were all very flexible. The inside line cooperated very smoothly, interspersed with Chris Du Hong's breakthroughs and frequent hands, Xue Ding's breakthroughs were also very sharp, but in the crowded inside line of the five giants, the shooting percentage was still greatly affected.

In addition, the Knicks did not have a clear offensive core, which also brought defensive troubles to the Trail Blazers. With the convenience of home court advantage, the Knicks' 12:6 climax made Prichard quickly call a timeout.

"Xue, strengthen the offense, Tyson protects the rebounds, and Ade provides good offense support. They all move and must respond."

Prichard's strategy is concise and clear, which means using offense to make the opponent's experience break into the defense and further consume it, otherwise the opponent will keep playing smoothly and his team will be exhausted.

Xue Ding also understood this truth. After taking the field, he first accelerated the speed of advancement. Facing the opponent's three heights, he did not have much advantage in landing positions.

A mature team can make quick adjustments when facing different situations.

The competition for playoffs began from the first stop of the away tour, and you must win four of the five games to be fully confident.

As the core of the team, Xue Ding is very clear about the burden on his shoulders.

After halftime, facing David Li's defense, Xue Ding accelerated and broke through the defense line with one step. He was not allowed to make up for defense in the interior and directly made a jump shot.

At 10:14, Xue Ding led the way to expand and narrow the gap with his fierce attack.

Since you have to respond on offense, your defense cannot be relaxed. Ade kept mentioning high positions in the face of Gallinari, following very promptly, and constantly putting pressure on him with his own strength.

David Lee quickly started, cut in from Gallinari, received a pass, stepped down and made a layup.

Xue Ding followed very promptly, but David Li played this ball very smartly, and directly made a layup with low hands, effectively limiting Xue Ding's speed and bounce.

Looking back, Xue Ding dribbled the ball after halftime and directly pushed the ball and made a three-pointer. The Trail Blazers teammates had long been accustomed to it. Although this is not Xue Ding's common scoring method, there are always a few games in each game, which is very simple to attract more defenses.

The Knicks played very easily without any psychological pressure. They had long lost their chances in the playoffs this season. In order to wait for James, the biggest star in the free market, they were sent away.

So for young players like David Lee, training yourself in the game and playing good data is the most important thing. It doesn’t matter if the defense is not good, offense is the direct reflection of the data.
