The game held here today is the Boston Celtics hosting the third-last team in the East at home against the New York Knicks. Before this game, the Boston Celtics had just slaughtered this team in New York a week ago. In that game, the New York Knicks' miserable score in the first three quarters is still vivid in the memory, and that failure directly defeated the last bit of the New York Knicks' enthusiasm this season. Originally, in the new season, the three forces of this team, Alan Houston and Marbury and Odom, who had recently signed a big contract, were preparing to join hands with this New York to enter the playoffs for the last time. However, in that game, Marbury's crazy 28 shots in the first three quarters almost directly broke the league that the three finally reached.

Since then, the New York Knicks have never won the ball. Under this situation, as the highest-paid team in the league, this team is likely to defeat the Magic in the regular season this season and win the last place in the league. This year, the Magic have almost lost consecutive games under Bosh and Butler. This is clearly aimed at the No. 1 pick in the draft in the year. However, judging from the current situation, New York is really likely to complete a counterattack against the Magic. Of course, for the New York Knicks, there is not much to say about this away game against the Boston Celtics.

They wanted to defeat Boston Kels, but it was tragic that the Kings had defeated Zhuang Fei, while they were getting farther and farther away from this goal. They were all played like that by Zhuang Fei and the Celtics at home, so it is naturally conceivable in this away game. However, for the Boston Celtics, the last away game against New York was a turning point. In that game, the Boston Celtics played the strongest defense of the season, and after that game, the Boston Celtics' defensive system began to get on track.

In fact, for many players, defense is not a difficult thing. Compared with the talent required for offense, the defense threshold is too low. In fact, the composition of the Boston Celtics is easy to meet the requirements of Siberty. The reason why this Boston Celtics has such a situation is probably more because the Boston Celtics has never had such a habit of defense, or lacks a moment to imitate and reference.

The game against New York was like opening a door for the Boston Celtics players, and these people's understanding of the team's defensive system also rose to a higher level. In this case, it can also be said that if there were no New York Knicks' big defeat, there would probably be the Boston Celtics now. But the Boston Celtics at this time were completely different from the previous week or the previous period.

Recently, the Boston Celtics' defense has been very exciting, and Zhuang Fei was also extremely excited. In this case, Zhuang Fei asked everyone of the team to return to normal offense and defense almost after the game with the Pacers. In fact, the last game with the Pacers had already allowed Zhuang Fei to see the extreme of his team on the defensive end.

When the Boston Celtics' limit came out, it would be difficult for the team to make progress no matter how hard they trained. Therefore, the Pacers and Boston Celtics game was the last time Zhuang Fei asked the team to defend with all their strength. After that Pacers game, this game against the Knicks allowed Boston Celtics fans to witness the strength of their team again, and their offensive strength.

For a team, it is difficult for them to quickly get out of another mode after staying in one mode for too long. In today's game, the New York Knicks once again kindly played such a role. If the Boston Celtics' opponent in this game is not the New York Knicks but a strong team like the Spurs, then the Boston Celtics' path to returning to normal in this game will not be so simple. For the current Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks' strong team is just right.

This team is very weak, but the strength of a single player is not weak. Such a team is the best sparring team. In the end, as the Boston Celtics who want to regain the past mode and these Boston Celtics fans, Zhuang Fei's team almost controlled the situation from the beginning. Moreover, this time, the Boston Celtics almost scored an almost impossible score in the first quarter. The Boston Celtics scored 38 points in front of the New York Knicks in a single quarter and nearly 80 points in the first half.

As for the final end of this game, the Boston Celtics' final score reached 140 points, and this score was not played in overtime. So after the result of this game came out, some experts were quite stunned. Before the start of this game, not many people would think that the Boston Celtics' offense would play so smoothly. These players of the Boston Celtics were similar to those of the previous defensive defenses, and did not forget how to attack.

Of course, in this game, the Boston Celtics defeated the New York Knicks 144-92 points at home. This 52-point victory also set a new record of winning the highest score in a single game this season and the record of the highest score in a single game. Almost like the last game, the New York Knicks successfully allowed the Boston Celtics to find their own role again. If such a thing makes the New York Knicks know, then the New York Knicks boss may really redisband the team directly.

After defeating the New York Knicks at home on November 24, the Boston Celtics' record has reached 13 wins and 2 losses this season, and is currently ranked first at the bottom. Currently, the second in the Eastern Conference regular season is the Vancouver Grizzlies. The team's current record is 12 wins and 3 losses, losing one more game than the Boston Celtics.

The third place is the Washington Wizards. This team has also declined to a certain extent this season. Although this team left behind Jordan and Hamilton this summer, it is obvious that Jordan's grade is getting bigger and bigger. Although mid-range shots are becoming more and more accurate, their physical strength and speed are getting worse. For a running and bombing team, Jordan's mid-range shot is very important to the Wizards. After all, for all running and bombing teams, in the end, they have to "boom". This "boom" is naturally a shooting. However, in the same running and bombing tactics, more important than "boom" is also the one in front of this word is "run", which requires speed and athletic ability. Now, although Jordan appears in the third position.

However, with more and more strong people in the league's third position, the challenge for this Jordan master is getting bigger and bigger. In this case, almost everyone is behind, this year is basically the last year for this master. In addition to the fact that Jordan master is having some minor troubles, the team's shooting guard Hamilton is actually very unwilling to stay in this team. This summer, he originally accepted the Mavericks' offer contract, and he is willing to go to the Mavericks.

But in the Wizards, he had no idea what his position in the team is. Although his salary is not low now, he is not willing to become the fourth, fifth, or sixth, of a team. In fact, with the arrival of Marion, Sir's maturity and Crawford's rise, his status has now begun to turn to the sixth. In this case, due to some personal problems of the two important components of the team, the Wizards have not played enough so far, and they are not as excited as last season. All the players are treating these games as if they are completing some mechanical tasks. Such a Wizards can only rank third in the East, and their record is also not outstanding 10 wins and 4 losses.

Of course, although the top three teams in the East have had a significant decline compared to last season, it is obvious that the rankings of these three teams have not changed. The Boston Celtics, Grizzlies and Wizards are one level ahead of other Eastern teams, which is a certain level, so compared with the East this season, the West has made more counterattacks. Now, in addition to the Lakers, the fourth-ranked team last season, the second in the West has also become the fifth-ranked Timberwolves last season. As for the third in the West, the Raptors, the third in the West, the incredible Raptors. This team has a whirlwind in the West this year, and its current record is also an astonishing 10 wins and 5 losses. The record is the same as the fourth-ranked Spurs in the West, but because of the victory or defeat, it beat the Spurs and scored third in the West.

Of course, for an NBA regular season, which has 82 games, it has only been less than one-fifth of the schedule. In this case, the current ranking is very unreliable, especially when the gap between all teams is very small, so for these teams, basically every game can make these rankings change greatly.

So for Zhuang Fei and the Celtics, they are very clear about the current situation. So after defeating the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics defeated the Eastern Conference, which was the number one Magic on November 26. The score in this game was also a big score of 117 to 90. On November 28 and 29, after defeating the Magic, the Boston Celtics played against the Bucks at home and away, and also doubled the Bucks. The scores in both games were 106 to 90. Recently, the Boston Celtics also consolidated the team's first place in the Eastern Conference because of their relatively easy record. After the end of the game with the Bucks, the team's record also reached 16 wins and 2 losses. Although it is still very small compared to 82 games, the game can be determined now.
