Seeing how popular Randolph was, the Knicks players were envious and jealous.

The Knicks players didn't know about Randolph's new look yet, and they didn't care about the Trail Blazers, but by the end of the day, Randolph's new look was already a hit in Portland!

In the afternoon, many fans had already appeared here and there to buy the 'same style'.

It seems that it is only a matter of time whether the white Panama hat, white scarf, black coat and dark suit will be out of stock.

As for the big gold chain... most people can't afford a real gold chain. Can it still be worn if it floats when taking a shower?

Anyway, there were already a lot of "same" outfits on the scene, not many of them were completely copied, but almost half of the fans were wearing the same items!

Randolph enjoyed this moment so much!

Spending $20,000 on a big gold chain was not wasted.

The clothes were not bought in vain, and the car was not rented in vain!

But this means you have to play this game well.

The Knicks are the most special team in the entire NBA, bar none.

All 41 home games are broadcast live, and away games can be broadcast at will. The average number of paid viewings so far this season has reached 8.77 million, and the lowest one has been more than 5.33 million.

Tonight's game, the prison team plays against the nursing home, will of course be broadcast live.

Randolph has been browsing computer websites this afternoon, and he knows that the photos and videos of his new look have become popular on the Internet.

If he wants to be more popular! Then he has to perform better in this national live broadcast!

I glanced at the warden who stretched out and sat down next to the bench, and then looked at Tianzun, who had no idea of ​​being the boss and was just chasing ducks to the shelves. Randolph's ambition was crazy. I, butcher, fight for Rose Bay.

It's boss time!

It's now!

…

The Trail Blazers' lineup is still Jeff McGinnis, Ruben Patterson, Wesley Persson, Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace.

Knicks lineup: Howard Isley, Alan Houston, Keith Van Horn, Kurt Thomas, Dikembe Mutombo.

Randolph came on the court with high spirits. The fans felt that Randolph's spirit had changed tonight. They were so excited that they cheered again.

The previous Randolph, although very serious on the court, lacked the ambition to lead the team.

Unexpectedly, a big gold chain aroused his ambition to be the boss... Randolph's change was an unexpected surprise for Liu Xiu.

He needs such a strong teammate to take the lead.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers' home game against the Knicks started.

Liu Xiu was on the sidelines observing the situation on the court and analyzing the game.

The little flying squirrel was studying vigorously beside him, and he didn't know what he had learned. Anyway, Liu Xiu looked at the court with a smile and squinted his eyes. He had learned it.

"The New York Knicks have played 21 games, with 10 wins and 11 losses, averaging 94.5 points per game and conceding 93.6 points per game..."

Randolph played very aggressively at the beginning, but the Knicks performed very well!

Don’t underestimate the Knicks players’ desire to win just because of the name “nursing home.” The current Knicks team is not as bad as it will be in the future.

Point guard Howard Isley’s five-year salary of $25 million is indeed a premium, but it is only a premium. He has good strength, can shoot suddenly on the offensive end, has solid passing, and is also good defensively.

Keith Van Horn, an excellent shooter and the second best player in the 1997 class, helped Kidd reach the 2002 Finals. So far this season, he is still averaging 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

Alan Houston, the king of mid-range shooters, has averaged 21.5 points per game so far this season, shooting 46% from mid-range, 43% from three-point range, and 91% from free throws. He is a perfect shooter.

Kurt Thomas and Mutombo, even though it’s hard to tell the difference between Mutombo’s age now, his defensive efficiency is still very high. So far this season, he has limited his opponents to only 96 points per 100 possessions. For comparison, Shaquille O’Neal

So far this season, he has limited opponents to 98 points per 100 possessions.

Just Duncan's 90 points and Garnett's 92 points can stabilize Mutombo.

What limits Mutombo is his physical strength, which means he can only play less than 25 minutes per game.

But when he is on the court, combined with Kurt Thomas, nicknamed Crazy Eyes and Dirty Kurt, the Knicks' defensive efficiency ranks fifth in the league!

At the beginning of tonight's game, the Knicks relied on Alan Houston's precise shooting that repeatedly broke away from the defense, coupled with the defense driven by the twin towers, causing considerable trouble for the Trail Blazers.

Maurice Cheeks replaced Jeff McGinnis with Derek Anderson in advance, and replaced Wesley Persson with Travis Outlaw to strengthen the defense, but it had little effect.

Fortunately, Randolph grabbed two offensive rebounds and converted them all into points. He scored 6 points in half a quarter. Otherwise, the Trail Blazers would have been widened at the beginning.

At 6 minutes and 33 seconds of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers called a timeout. The score was 11 to 15, 4 points behind.

…

The Knicks conducted a lineup rotation. Mutombo, who made a great contribution in the beginning, was replaced and replaced by the inside combination of Kurt Thomas and Antonio McDyess. Charlie Ward and Shanton McDyess were replaced on the outside.

Anderson and Alan Houston continue to play.

For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu and Little Flying Squirrel were replaced together.

This short double point guard shocked Trail Blazers fans at first, but over time, it became a routine operation.

Careful fans have discovered that the playing time of Little Flying Squirrel has fluctuated greatly recently. When playing against weak teams, the playing time will suddenly decrease. It is not a stable adjustment like Tianzun, beater Davis, and Kobe Terminator, but a cliff-like decrease...

…and playing time increases when playing against strong teams.

This operation makes fans confused.

But the performance of the Flying Squirrel, regardless of the salary of more than 12 million US dollars, is only regarded as the sixth man on the court. It is quite outstanding, averaging 13.4 points and 3.8 assists in 22.3 minutes of playing time per game.

Playing with the two point guards are Travis Outlaw, Randolph and Tian Zun.

This lineup has also become the regular lineup of the Trail Blazers. Seeing this lineup on the field, the fans at the scene knew that they were going to start scoring!

Sure enough, after the timeout, the little flying squirrel singled out Charlie Ward, and started with a three-point shot...it didn't go in!

Fortunately, it was Randolph who grabbed the third offensive rebound of the game and pushed the ball into the basket under Antonio McDyess.

Antonio McDyess was also a top new-generation power forward alongside Duncan, Garnett, Webb, Tianzun and others. However, he suffered a serious injury in the 2001-02 season and was reimbursed after playing 10 games. He made three consecutive major power forwards.

Surgery, including minimally invasive surgery, was directly reimbursed and he did not play a game last season... However, even if he encountered such bad luck, he tenaciously returned to the NBA.

However, in the 2000-01 season, he averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds per game. At the age of 29, he could only play as a substitute and was bullied by the new generation...

In the transition between offense and defense, Antonio McDyess, who had just been pressed by Randolph for a tip-in, showed his tenacity when he received the pass from Alan Houston who was being flanked, and hit a two-pointer from the baseline!

In the 2000-01 season, Antonio McDyess shot 27% from two-point range and 35% from mid-range. During his reimbursement period, he underwent major surgeries. He clearly understood that even if he returned from injury, he would no longer be as athletic as his peers.

Garnett is Tianzun's super power forward, so he strengthened his shooting during the injury period. With the help of Alan Houston, his mid-range shooting has improved tremendously. So far this season, he has shot 41.7% in long two-point shooting!

17 to 13, Antonio McDyess' mid-range shot helped the Knicks maintain their lead.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, the Flying Squirrel still missed a long two-point shot in singles.

Pure wave play is really useless when the feel is not good.

And this time Randolph didn't grab an offensive rebound!

Antonio McDyess learned his lesson after suffering a loss and concentrated on getting stuck with Randolph, while Shanton Anderson protected the defensive rebounds.

Offense and defense transition, the Knicks attack.

Liu Xiu followed Alan Houston closely and stayed close to him with all his strength.

"Alan Houston, 32 years old, 198 cm, 93 kg, SG, ability evaluation 85, offense 93, defense 71, three-pointer 93, mid-range shot 98, layup 85, speed 87, strength 84..."

Speed, strength, and Liu Xiu all had the advantage, but Alan Houston once again used the pile to avoid Liu Xiu's pressure and defense.

This time Liu Xiu did not choose to switch to guard Shanton Anderson, who was surrounded by the pile, but moved to the elbow area.

When Alan Houston received the ball and was about to pass the baseline again from the previous round, he found that the passing space was blocked!

Alan Houston hesitated, and Travis Outlaw had already switched defenses.

Alan Houston had no choice. He went into singles, retreated, and made a strong fallback shot without getting rid of the defense... His movements were standard and he opened the door to the standard, and he hit two points!

The shot went in, but Alan Houston admired the defensive movement of the rookie on the opposite side and was thankful that the shot went in.

On the other side, the pressure on the Trail Blazers players increased sharply! 13 to 19, 6 points behind!

Just now, the Knicks' tactics were the same as the previous one. Liu Xiu thought of Jeff McGinnis's strongest advanced play, and Alan Houston's similar play, which was the 'auxiliary control'.

This all allowed Alan Houston to make a shot...

Immediately after the Trail Blazers attacked, the Flying Squirrel did not force a single, and lobbed the ball to Randolph to open up the space.

Liu Xiu and Tianzun played a pick-and-roll without the ball and pulled away after receiving the ball. Tianzun relied on Shanton Anderson in the mid-range, received Liu Xiu's pass, and played in singles!

Tianzun caught the ball, turned around, cut in, made an emergency stop, and hit a straight-arm jumper from close range!

Tianzun shouldered the heavy responsibility and shouldered it!

However, the Trail Blazers relied on Randolph's rush and Tianzun's isolation strategy, and the continuity was really not enough.

Tianzun played hard in singles, but his defensive performance began to falter...

Three more rounds later, the Trail Blazers and the Knicks were tied at 18-26, the point difference was widened to 8 points, and the Trail Blazers called timeout again!

11 points in a single quarter, 4 of 4 from the field, Alan Houston's performance made Maurice Cheeks go crazy!

On a sudden, Maurice Cheeks replaced the combination of Liu Xiu, Reuben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Dale Davis, and Rasheed Wallace... in a hand-to-hand battle
Chapter completed!
