NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 200: Isn't this my exclusive?

Popular recommendation:

The Knicks have won four consecutive victories since the beginning of March. At present, the Knicks have surpassed the Magic to come to second place in the East. The Magic are 43 wins and 20 losses, and the Knicks are 43 wins and 19 losses.

But in the game on March 8, the Atlanta Hawks ended the Knicks' 5-game winning streak. Joe Johnson scored a three-pointer at the buzzer to kill the Knicks.

The game ended at 98:99, and the Knicks also lost the game at home.

This game is another rare game without more than 100 points. There is a relationship between the defense of both sides, and there are also reasons for underestimating the Knicks after their four-game winning streak.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks' sloppy defensive attitude allowed the Eagles to score consecutively in the first quarter. Until the second quarter, the players except Lian Dao and Holiday still looked awake.

Lian Dao scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists in two quarters, accounting for 2/3 of the Knicks' team scoring.

At the end of the half, the Knicks were 20 points behind the opponent. To be honest, this situation never happened in the game against the Celtics and the Lakers.

This also made Lian Dao angry. During the intermission, Lian Dao also got angry in the locker room for the first time.

Lian Dao, who usually had a playful expression, became angry, but it gave everyone a feeling of terror and depression.

"Do we still remember the goal at the beginning? Do we think we can get into the playoffs with 43 wins, or do we think we can beat the Celtics and beat the Cavaliers?"

"Is our inner goal just to make the playoffs?"

"You know everyone is waiting to laugh at us?"

"Before this, do you know what they think of our Knicks? A place of decay, a garbage dump!"

"Do we want to go back in time?"

Lian Dao's series of questioning was like a thorn, deeply piercing into the hearts of all the players.

"No!"

At this time, all the players raised their heads and roared loudly.

"I also believe that this is definitely not what we think in our hearts. I believe that every Knicks fighter will not be a coward."

"We don't believe that the night is coming, because the torch is in our own hands!"

Lian Dao's words also made all the players in the locker room raise their heads. Lian Dao also saw the fighting spirit again from the eyes of these teammates, and everyone roared.

Lian Dao saw that the chicken soup was almost filled, so Lian Dao stretched out his hand, and everyone stood up and surrounded him.

"Knicks!"

"Victory!" "Victory!" "Victory!"

What Lian Dao said, D'Antoni was stunned for a while, and D'Antoni was excited when he heard it.

I can't wait to take off my suit and go into battle.

At the same time, D'Antoni once again saw the leadership qualities in Lian Dao. A leader should not only lead the team to victory, but also help his teammates get out of the quagmire at critical moments and rebuild the team's confidence.

The Knicks came back from the halftime in the third quarter. As soon as they came out, the fans in the audience felt a big difference. Although they were still the same players, their momentum was not comparable to before.

In the third quarter, the Knicks strengthened their defense. The Eagles felt a big difference from the first half when they came up. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks played an 8:0 offensive storm.

The head coach of the Eagles hurriedly called a timeout to stabilize the situation.

Although the Eagles are also resisting through the inside advantage, the Eagles' score advantage is still shrinking a little bit.

In the last 1.5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Knicks finally overtook the score and kept the score advantage until the last 5 seconds.

However, Joe Johnson, who stretched his hips with a three-pointer, made a lore shot at the last moment. Both Lian Dao and Chandler sealed their hands on Joe Johnson's face, but he still threw the ball at the last second. .

Joe Johnson completed the lore.

After the game, in media interviews, Lian Dao also took the responsibility for the failure of the whole game on himself. Although he worked hard and lost the game in the second half, it hurt morale, but what Lian Dao said in the midfielder's locker room was true. It is deeply rooted in the hearts of all players.

Not long after the game, someone secretly recorded what Lian Dao said in the locker room, and it was released, and the media also reported it extensively.

At first, the media thought it was a conflict between the Knicks players, but after watching the full video, they realized that it was a passionate speech by Pember.

From the video, everyone also realized the other side of Lian Dao, the leader halo!

And Lian Dao's sentence "We don't believe that the long night is coming, because the torch is in our own hands!" also quickly became popular all over the world!

This sentence quickly became the online signature of many people.

New York, Olympic Tower, NBA headquarters.

The assistant here knocked on David Stern's office door.

"President, this is the latest situation of the Knicks!"

"What's the matter, is there another court conflict?" Stern rubbed his temples with a headache at this time.

When it comes to the Knicks, David Stern's mind is now: there is another court fight, or another player is accidentally injured.

It's no wonder Stern thinks so. Since the beginning of the season, the above-mentioned incidents happened to the Knicks not once or twice. Fortunately, they were all caused by the opponent, so so far the Knicks players have not been punished for this.

"Uh, no!" The assistant didn't expect Stern to get it wrong.

Stern picked up the folder that the assistant handed over, and after reading all the summaries, he also showed a happy smile.

Lian Dao's words are too positive. It can be said that this is a business card to promote the NBA.

In particular, many people still regard Lian Dao's last sentence as a famous saying.

"This kid can become one of the faces of the NBA in the future. In the words of the Chinese, he is very handsome!"

At this time, Stern leisurely took a puff of his cigar, not knowing whether to tell his assistant or talk to himself.

Although the assistant had received training in expression management, he was still a little surprised at this moment.

She didn't expect Stern to be so optimistic about the Knicks' No. 1. This sentence means that Stern no longer just regards cheap rice as a cash cow.

…

On March 10, the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs. Popovich did not dare to use small moves this time, and the Spurs' senior group really couldn't keep up with the Knicks' running and bombing.

The Spurs are not afraid of playing positional warfare, but they are afraid of running and bombing teams.

97:87, the Spurs' defense is still very commendable, and the Knicks' scoring was once again limited to less than 100 points.

On March 12, the Knicks defeated the Grizzlies 128:108 in an away game. All Knicks players felt hot. The basket of the Memphis Grizzlies was completely transformed into the sea. Basically, many Knicks players kept hitting three-pointers from the outside. Points~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lian Dao made 10 of 14 three-pointers, Wilson Chandler made 3 of 6 three-pointers, Holiday made 2 of 4 three-pointers, Gallinari made 5 of 7 three-pointers Among them, Millsap made 5 of 8 three-pointers and David Lee made 1 of 2 three-pointers.

A real three-point team, the Knicks scored 78 points just by shooting three-pointers from the outside. The Knicks made 26 three-pointers in the whole game, and also broke the NBA regular season single-game three-pointer record .

In the interview after the game, the head coach of the Grizzlies, Leonel Hollins, couldn't help shaking his head, his face was full of helplessness, and he kept saying "incredible" in his mouth.

But D'Antoni is smiling all over his face. It can be said that today's Knicks seem to let D'Antoni see the new trend of "running and bombing" tactics in the future.

The victory over the Memphis Grizzlies can be regarded as revenge for the previous failure.

On March 13, back-to-back games against the Dallas Mavericks, away games and back-to-back reasons, the Knicks lost to the Dallas Mavericks 108:112 in this game.

Nowitzki still played steadily throughout the game, scoring a double-double of 28 points and 14 rebounds.

I have to say that Nowitzki's mid-range shots are getting more and more bewitching, especially his golden rooster independence. It is really difficult to defend. Although Millsap defends hard, he was played by Nowitzki throughout the game. Between the palms.

But fortunately, Millsap's fighting spirit was not broken by Nowitzki, especially in the fourth quarter, Millsap became more and more courageous, and even completed a steal in an attack while Nowitzki was not paying attention. The Knicks still lost this game, but Lian Dao saw endless potential in Millsap.

Millsap will definitely meet Weathered Dragon in the future.
