0615:【Isaiah Thomas leaves】(2/2)
Moreover, Orlando overestimated the negative impact of Isaiah Thomas on the Knicks after he left.
The Knicks are still working in an orderly manner. Jamilin, as the first Chinese NBA head coach in history, performed very well.
Although he was a little nervous when he stood in front of the stage for the first time.
However, he quickly adapted... After all, he was in control of the overall situation before.
This victory made Stan Van Gundy fully realize one thing: the Knicks and the Magic are no longer teams of the same level.
Although Orlando won, Van Gundy knew better than anyone else... If it weren't for Tkoglu's magical performance in the last moment, they might not have been able to win this game: the Knicks' five newcomers would be too terrifying.
In time, under the leadership of Li Zhen, he will definitely be a sweeping alliance.
New Yorkers are so lucky that they can actually select so many excellent young people at once.
Such a good handful of cards can win the championship even if a fool closes his eyes!!
Stan Van Gundy was envious.
There is no doubt that the Knicks are definitely the team with the least salary and the highest combat power in the league today.
Although Isaiah Thomas is a bastard, what he left to the Knicks is the high-quality assets of the Champions League!
...
The playoffs are coming soon.
The situation in the east is becoming more and more mysterious.
The fifth to seventh place are unpredictable. Although they don’t know where the Knicks will stay in the end, at present, they don’t want to be sixth in the East.
The number one Celtics are also competing wildly with the number two Cleveland Cavaliers.
Their goal is to escape from second place.
Although they were very arrogant and said that they wanted to bring the Knicks to justice.
However, no one wants to meet the Knicks in the semi-finals.
When this situation arises, the east will no longer have the relaxing scenes like previous years.
The Knicks became the electric eel thrown into the sardine box.
It makes the East vibrant.
On the contrary, the western part is quite class-consolidated, which is like the scene of a corrupt old dynasty.
The Lakers decided early to be the number one in the West.
Then, the team's core main force began to enter frequent rotations, and even the league headquarters warned them that the team's stars should not be suspended at will.
But this warning will basically not have any effect.
The Spurs had played this routine ten years ago.
San Antonio, ranked third in the West, has long been content with destiny. Duncan is lazy and plays for more than ten minutes in every game.
In addition, there is nothing to fight for like the Mavericks, Nuggets, Hornets, and Jazz.
However, the Trail Blazers, the Rockets have been competing for fourth place and want to gain a home advantage in the first round.
...
As time ruthlessly crushed.
The chaos in the East finally came to an end with Lee Jin scoring 52 points in his last regular season game.
Frankly speaking, Li Zhen did not think of ending his 2008-2009 regular season with a phenomenal data.
All I can say is that the New Orleans Hornets are too unlucky.
Chris Paul has never mentioned the NBA's number one point guard after the All-Star game. What he knows about is that he is more likely to accept the status quo.
Moreover, now Li Zhen is no longer taking the pure point guard path.
After the All-Star Game, Li Zhen averaged 24.8 points per game.
Average 1.6 three-pointers per game.
Although the hit rate is sometimes touching, the undeniable thing is that no one dares to be indifferent to his offense anymore. Because you will never guess whether his crazy shot will hit it!
This season's Hornets, who mainly play running and bombing, still responded with a very fast offensive and defensive rhythm in the final game of the regular season.
But what D'Antoni never dreamed of was that Li Zhen was like a fish in water at this rhythm.
He made extremely fierce moves while running fast.
His feel was overwhelming under the low-level defense.
He hit 11 three-pointers in the game, breaking his personal record and also breaking the Knicks' team history record.
The Hornets were shot into a sieve by him.
D'Antoni originally wanted to wipe out his former shame at Madison Garden, but it turned out that sweeping him out was the most correct decision the Knicks had ever made.
52 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
Li Zhen's final data not only completely cut off Chris Paul's ambition to compete for the first point guard, but also successfully drove the Cleveland Cavaliers to the third place.
The Knicks climbed to second place.
Chicago suddenly wailed.
They originally thought they could escape the disaster by hitting the seventh place, but they didn't expect to end up meeting the Knicks.
Both teams are youth troops, both teams controlled by point guards as the core.
Moreover, the only situation where Li Zhen is suppressed on the scene this season is that it happens in the game against the Bulls. The new No. 1 pick Derek Ross is also considered the Bruce terminator because his physical fitness can suppress Li Zhen!
certainly.
No basketball expert dared to declare as firmly as last year that the Knicks will lose. In most discussions, the Knicks are believed to be easily promoted 4:1.
This is in sharp contrast to last year.
Respect is made by oneself.
