NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 183: all star players below the head

After training, Lian Dao just came out of the liquid nitrogen freezer. At this time, he felt that he was in a very good condition. The gift from the little sister was really good, especially for muscle relaxation.

Lian Dao later bought another one and put it in the locker room, and Lian Dao would stay there for 3 minutes after the home game.

Not only Lian Dao, Holiday, Millsap, and David Lee have all used it, and the responses are all good, and the Knicks saw the effect of Lian Dao's use, and the Knicks team doctor also added this thing to the procurement plan.

But today, he did not go to the training hall at Madison Square Garden. The team canceled today's training plan, because tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be back-to-back games, so the rest time for the players will be increased. Due to the snow outside, Lian Dao does not want to drive to the training. museum.

So I chose to train at home, and everything is readily available at home.

Lian Dao, who was wearing a bath towel, lay casually on the sofa. When he was thinking about what to do, Lian Dao's phone rang, and it was his mother.

"..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine here, are you coming to watch my All-Star Game performance?"

After Lian Dao heard his mother say that he didn't have time, although he had already had a hunch, he was still a little sad.

The second day of the All-Star Competition is the Chinese New Year, and it is basically impossible to have time.

But the hope in his heart still made him unable to help but want to ask this sentence.

Lian Dao, who hung up the phone, just lay on the sofa. After being reborn, Lian Dao felt a little lonely for the first time.

…

On January 28, the Knicks played against the Toronto Raptors at home. This was the Knicks' last home game in January.

Millsap performed bravely tonight, scoring 28 points and 14 rebounds. David Lee, who entered the All-Star Game as a substitute, also performed very well, scoring 14 points and 13 rebounds.

Lian Dao also scored 30 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds in this game, and scored 8 points in a row in the second half of the third quarter, helping the team expand its lead to 16 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks firmly held their lead. Until the last two minutes, Raptors coach Jay Triano saw no hope of a comeback, so he replaced all the starters and announced his surrender.

Bosh had 26 points for the Raptors and Andrea Bargnani had 16 points.

The Knicks defeated the Raptors 112:100 at home and won two consecutive home victories.

After playing the Raptors, they have a day off. They will go to Washington on January 30th to face the Wizards who have been reduced to the Eastern Conference. Last season, the Wizards Arenas was reimbursed for the entire season due to injuries. Played the third-worst record in the league, and even the Knicks, who were particularly bad last season, almost didn't beat them in terms of bad performance.

They wanted to try for the No. 1 pick last season, but the Wizards' management was so unlucky that they only got a No. 5 pick.

The Wizards originally wanted to choose Lian Dao or Griffin for the No. 1 pick or No. 2 pick, but it is obviously impossible for these two to fall to the 5th position. Except for Lian Dao and Griffin, the most guard players in the 2009 draft The Wizards don't want to train rookies because they have Arenas.

So the draft rights were traded to the Timberwolves along with three inside players, Oleksy Pecherov, Darius Songela and Etan Thomas, in exchange for immediate combat power Randy Foye and Mike M. Le.

Randy Foye averaged 16.3 points per game in his third season in the Timberwolves. The reason why the Wizards chose Randy Foye is obvious. They are optimistic about Randy Foye's future growth space. The Wizards Think Randy Foye will be Arenas' point guard replacement in the future.

Obviously, Randy Foye can't reach the height of Arenas. After Arenas' suspension this season, he can't help the team out of the predicament, and even his scoring average is not as good as he was last season.

Therefore, there is a reason why the Timberwolves gave up Randy Foye and chose the golden boy Rubio.

On January 30, in the game against the Wizards, the Knicks won the game without any suspense. After the first half of the game, Lian Dao had already put on his clothes and sat on the bench. The advantage is very large, so in the second half, Holiday played against David Lee and Millsap again.

Lian Dao also met JaVale McGee, the "All-Star player below the head" that netizens said. What I have to admit is that McGee's talent is really good, especially in the third quarter. Li was stunned by Lian Dao who was sitting on the bench, and dunked through Millsap.

Even Lian Dao has to admit that this guy's talent is really good.

But after a long time on the court, his concentration dropped rapidly. After taking off the rebound, he was tripped by the basketball, and then David Lee grabbed the ball and scored a layup.

Moreover, his lower body strength is insufficient. Although his height is relatively high, his center of gravity is high and his lower body is unstable. Compared with players of the same height, McGee is easy to lose balance after physical contact. Lian Dao has seen this with his own eyes. .

When Zhu Holiday took off the rebound again to prepare for a fast break, McGee who came from behind rode directly on it.

Holledi was instantly crushed to the ground.

Good guy, is Lu Bu riding a dog?

Fortunately, Holiday has a relatively good personality. If he encounters a grumpy player, it is very likely that there will be conflicts.

Lian Dao was sitting on the bench and tried not to laugh at first, but when he saw Larry Hughes almost lying on the bench laughing, Lian Dao couldn't help laughing because of the influence of Larry Hughes .

Lian Dao finally understood why O'Neal wanted to use McGee as a material. The key is that there is no creative bottleneck.

In this game, the Knicks easily won 102:88. Lian Dao played 24 minutes and scored 24 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds.

David Lee scored the highest score in the game with 32 points and 13 rebounds, followed by Millsap with 20 points and 14 rebounds.

On January 31, against the Timberwolves back-to-back, the Knicks lost the game, and Lian Dao caught a cold in this game.

Mom was still on the phone two days ago to ask her to take care of herself, but she didn't expect Lian Dao to catch a cold in the past two days.

Mainly the ghost weather in Minnesota is just too cold.

With a temperature of minus 15 degrees, Lian Dao shivered as soon as he got out of the airport. He hurriedly wrapped up his down jacket. He was only wearing a fleece sweater. The bus is gone, I don't care too much.

After getting on the team bus, I felt warmer instantly, and the hot air on the bus was fully blown.

Although it's easy to catch a cold when it's cold and hot, Lian Dao didn't care about it either. Whether it was in his previous life or his rebirth, he rarely caught a cold, so he didn't think about catching a cold.

But after the team's training camp together, Lian Dao felt his head was a little hot, but he still didn't care about it at this time, feeling that it should be the reason why the training just ended.

But during the game at night, Lian Dao felt headache and groggy.

After taking the medicine, D'Antoni originally didn't allow Lian Dao to play. Their record in January was not bad. In the 14 games so far, the Knicks have a record of 8 wins and 6 losses. The overall record is 32 wins and 14. Negative, currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference, one game beyond the Magic.

But Lian Dao still wants to give it a try. After all, many great players in history played with a cold, such as Dirk Nowitzki in the 2011 playoffs, and Braised Egg during the three consecutive championships also played with a bad cold in the playoffs. , and Braised Eggs even played during food poisoning. The key is that the shooting percentage and scoring of these two players playing with illnesses are not bad.

Therefore, Lian Dao feels that they have no problem playing, and he should also have no problem.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want to be ridiculed by that guy DeMar in the future.

But the reality is not what Lian Dao thought.

In the first quarter of the game~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lian Dao's shooting rate was very low. Because of the headache, he was still unable to concentrate, and at the same time, he also made low-level mistakes that he had never seen on the passing end.

After the first quarter, the Knicks were 12 points behind at 20:32, and Lian Dao, who was sitting on the bench, was sweating profusely, and his head became more and more dizzy. At this time, D'Antoni said nothing to let Lian Dao played, and let the team doctor help him into the locker room,

DeMar also saw Lian Dao walking into the player tunnel at this time, which made him a little worried, but the game is not over yet, and he has no way to visit at present.

In this game, the Knicks lost to the Timberwolves by a big score of 89:109. David Lee scored the highest score for the Knicks with 28 points and 14 rebounds. In addition, Holiday also played well in this game. Scored 16 points and 15 assists.

The Timberwolves played the best Kevin Love with 26 points and 17 rebounds. DeMar also played a stable data of 15 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. We can also see DeMar's potential.
