Chapter 122 Injury and home field advantage in January

The Knicks team, who lost the game, was not in the mood to be interviewed, and even if they won the game, they were not in the mood.

Injuries are a part of sports competitions that will never be missing. The problem now is that the time when injuries come is too difficult to accept.

There are about a week and a half left in the regular season. Now the Knicks are no longer thinking whether they should finish third or fourth, but how to ensure their home advantage under the impact of the Magic team behind.

The Knicks, who lost the away game, flew back to the Knicks without stopping. New Jersey and the Knicks were very close, and soon the private plane landed in the Knicks. The team doctor followed Stoudemire to the hospital for further examination. The players and the head coach went home to rest directly.

It’s not that the Knicks’ previous teammates were very indifferent, but the league arranged a cruel back-to-back game for the Knicks at this time. Even if all Knicks went to the hospital, they could not change the established fact that Stodmeier was injured. Then winning the game tomorrow is the best comfort for Stodmeier.

Lin Yang returned to the apartment and couldn't fall asleep. Stoudemire's injury was undoubtedly a shadow over the Knicks' head.

Derek Wayne saw Lin Yang's anxious look and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be anxious, maybe the injury is not serious. What you have to do now is not to worry about him, but to play every game before he comes back."

Lin Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I understand what you mean, but this is my first season after all. The team is in such a good state, so I naturally want to go further."

Losing Stoudemire is far more than losing a star offensive player. Stoudemire is the most suitable center forward for running and shooting. When he leaves the field, it means that the Knicks' running and bombing power will be reduced by half. This is the Knicks' conventional tactics.

Even in positional battles, it is obvious that he is one of the best terminators of the Knicks and the best pick-and-roll. He bombed the basket and hit the middle distance with the external bomb. These are the tactics that Stoudemire often plays after the pick-and-roll.

It's a little easier to say when Lin Yang lost this pick-and-roll. His breakthrough ability in the top three in the league is there. Fei Dun just caught it without this pick-and-roll, and both scores and assists may have to decline. 40% of his scores and 35% of his assists come from the tactics after the pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

The next day's game was considered a game that could test the quality of Anthony and Lin Yang. Although the Knicks still have two All-Stars now, the depth of the inside lineup made it difficult for them to play after Stoudemire was injured.

Bobcats, who play back to back against Boss Qiao, are very weak. They send their star to the Trail Blazers when they are still at the All-Star. Their goal is not to win the game, but to get a higher-level signing this season.

The Bobcats' management wants to lose, but it does not mean that the Bobcats' players also want to lose. What does it have to do with them? This is impossible for them to get a big contract or to make those who cannot get a contract for another year? Then why not take advantage of the ball now that they have the ball rights to make more data.

Stephen Jackson, the great martial arts saint, continued to score points, and Kwame Brown, the largest single-square-focused pick, came to the initial starting point - Boss Qiao. In order to prove that he was not wrong at the beginning, he happened to have arrived at Boss Qiao. Boss Qiao signaled that he would give him a chance, and he would not be at a disadvantage in the match with Mozkov tonight, and it was even more eye-catching.

The Knicks attacked well, mainly because Lin Yang and Anthony were in good condition. The lack of Stoudemire did cause problems with the Knicks' offensive system.

This season, the Bobcats replaced Larry Brown with Paul Silas to pursue this asceticism, but this Buddhist coach let the players in the team play Buddhistly and then play against the Knicks, who are in good shape in the two stars, in the first half without a winner.

Lin Yang, who scored 17 points in the first half and Anthony, who scored 14 points in the first half, were really strange. Lin Yang really wanted to ask Boss Qiao, do you don’t want to win your No. 1 pick? Can you lose the game well?

However, Lin Yang's three-pointer form came again in the second half. Two 3 points in the third quarter and a smoother breakthrough due to the high three-pointer hit, he won the game again in 30 in three quarters.

If Stoudemire's injury was not clear at all now, the Knicks fans at the scene might have wanted to celebrate.

The Knicks, who won the game, finally opened the gap a little, but the Magic immediately won another key game and continued to bite behind the Knicks only.

The bad news has never been passed alone. After learning that the Magic had won the game, there was a new problem immediately, and Stoudemire's injury test report has also come out.

Knee contusion and injury for one month, now it is early April, which means that the first round of the playoffs is basically not allowed. If there is no accident, the Knicks' opponent has the magic of the league's number one center. Regardless of whether there is a home advantage or not, with such a low inside depth, I am afraid that Howard will become O'Neal Russell in the interior.

"Is this too difficult? Is the knee contusion so serious after one month of injury?"

"One month, my god, I finally saw a little hope, but Amare was injured. Could it be that God is going to die? "

"In my heart, after February, we are simply championship-level teams. Our offensive ability is definitely one of the best in the entire league, but now... sorry, I can only expect the team to win a home court advantage that is very important to them."

The Knicks fans don’t want to accept this fact, but the injury report will not be a lie. As for the rest, the Knicks fans can only continue to comfort themselves. At least they are not directly reimbursed for the season like the last time. At least if they pass the first round, Stoudemire will be able to return to the team.

But now for the Knicks, how can they ensure that they have a win-win advantage in the last 5 games, the Knicks are 51 wins and 26 losses, the Magic 50 wins and 27 losses, and the Magic are 2:1 in the regular season this season, which means that as long as the record of both sides is tied, the Magic will become fourth in the Eastern Conference and fifth in the Eastern Conference. If you want to absolutely guarantee your home advantage, you cannot lose in a game.
