Chapter 26 Here Comes the Crown Prince
The Knicks started this season with a pleasant three-game treatment at home, and they were not too strong.
This is a good thing for the Knicks, who is still in the running-in period of the entire lineup.
Just because the Knicks were in New York and in the Big Apple, their every move was infinitely magnified.
It is no exaggeration to say that without a good attitude, it is better not to play around the Knicks, Lakers, or historical superstars.
The team in the second home game is still the bad brothers in the East. No, the opponent was still very glorious in the NBA last year, with 61 wins and 21 losses, the first in the East and the first in the league.
Unfortunately, the regular season MVP was still in their team at this time last year, and this year he had already brought his talent to Miami. At that time, everyone thought that after all, the number one in the East was, even if he left an MVP, he was still the most in the East.
There is still Antoine Jamison in the team, and it is said that this kind of player who was an All-Star just two years ago.
In addition to them, young players such as JJ Hickson and Daniel Gibson are also growing rapidly.
Before the regular season begins, ESPN's expectations for them are teams on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and they are expected to win about 35 wins this year.
But this prediction won't satisfy the Cavaliers fans. The Cleveland Cavaliers fans who have lost about 100,000 James jerseys in the offseason feel that they are still a playoff team.
The good preseason record made Cavaliers fans confident that they were still the top team.
In the first game, facing the magic of Howard, the magic of the Warcraft, they were beaten to their original form.
Howard, who was in the inside, was unstoppable. The Magic took about 3 quarters to make the game lose its suspense. Howard scored 6 offensive rebounds in just 25 minutes of playing time when the Cavaliers entered.
However, losing the Magic early to the score did not wake up the Cavaliers fans. So, the Lotto master Knicks became their new opponent whom they thought they could win the first victory.
Unfortunately, the Knicks don't seem to be planning to give the Cavaliers the old Eastern Conference strong team. Obviously, in the eyes of the Knicks, the Cavaliers are the boy who gives away points. The Knicks, whose goal is to playoffs, will not let him go at all.
In the last game, Howard scored 29 points and 17 rebounds. The goal was to regain the league's first center from Howard, Sir was not willing to fall behind. He made 12 of 19 shots in the game and scored 33 points and 11 rebounds.
This situation is a bit boring for Lin Yang. In normal playing style, the Cavaliers are basically suppressed throughout the game, and Lin Yang, who comes on the bench, can only do some icing on the cake.
There was no ball rights in the first half. In the last few minutes of each quarter, he followed Garlinari and Wilson Chandler to run back.
Lin Yang, who was still mocking Douglas for 0 points in the last game, said that he was a little panicked because he also scored 0 points after the first half.
Fortunately, when he was leading the team in the third quarter, he made 4 of 6 shots and scored 8 points and 1 assist, leading the team to a 15:4 climax, which completely established the victory.
The Knicks, who took the Cavaliers, were ready to continue to pursue the victory.
The last opponent in the three-game home court is still the bad brother of the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons.
Unfortunately, the relationship between these two bad brothers is not good.
The Knicks were so bad in the past few years. The big reason was that Doran and Isaiah Thomas made contributions. The boss and general manager's operations were so bad that they could top the top three in NBA history.
The boss has no choice. What else can you do if he doesn't sell the team? But Isaiah Thomas was scolded so badly. As the MVP of the Finals in 1990, the top point guard in history is inversely proportional to his skills in the general manager.
Why don't you go and the Pistons if you are so fucking so fuck?
And in fact, the Pistons in the 21 World was the most successful team in the East. They reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2003. In 2004, the Pistons that killed the Lakers F4 were called the most civilian champion in history.
Even after the game, there are several statements about who the MVP in the Finals should give. The team's scoring king Hamilton, as the defensive core of the defensive strong team, is the team's metronome and offensive core Billups.
After this championship, they are still the top talent in the East, the Eastern Conference champion in 2005, the Eastern Conference finals in 2006, the Eastern Conference finals in 2007, and the Eastern Conference semi-finals in 2008, but with the fall apart and gradual aging of the Pistons, they are no longer powerful.
Last year was the first time they did not enter the playoffs since the 2000-01 season. This is normal. No one was surprised. Even though there are three of the Pistons' five tigers in the team, everyone knows that they have started to rebuild.
Reconstruction is not a problem, their biggest problem is that at this time they chose the core of their cultivation called Rottany Starki.
Lin Yang sat off the court and watched clearly how the Piston Prince Rotany Starki was squandering his right to take action on the court.
If you think every move of Starkey is difficult? That's a big mistake. Hamilton and Prince are still in the team. Even if they are old, they are still top players without the ball.
As a heavy defender, he likes to fight, but he just happened to meet Fatton and Douglas. These two people are not afraid of you being heavy, but are afraid of you being fast. Want to fight? It's too late to welcome.
Envy and jealous, Lin Yang's eyes lit up off the court. This is probably the Prince of Pistons. It is better to train me than to train him. My breakthrough is much better than his big butt. Even the ability to break through the dribble is dare to penetrate No. 3?
Finally waiting for him to play, he was unhappy and decided to mock the Piston Prince and tell him that not everyone can wear No. 3, but what he didn't expect was that Stucky went down happily.
He shot 9 shots in 6 minutes and hit 2 goals, which made the prince exhausted. John Custer quickly called a timeout to let the prince rest. It must be because he was tired that the next few goals were not scored.
With the prince's slutty operation, the Pistons only fell behind by 5 points with 9:14.
This has to be mentioned. Hamilton, Prince, and Daben's three former Pistons and Five Tigers are really good to defend.
The prince basically doesn't exert force on the defensive end. Heavy guards are tired from running around and they have to play on the offensive end. The defense drags on the offensive back legs. It is impossible to defend seriously. It is impossible to make the opponent score 100 points on his head and it is impossible to defend seriously.
