As the season gradually progressed, after losing to the Jazz, the Knicks did not start a losing streak, but started a new four-game winning streak. Lian Dao also averaged the game in these four games.
32.6 points, 11.6 assists, 8.2 rebounds.
Lian Dao also used practical actions to slap the media hard with the team's winning streak. He did not encounter the so-called rookie wall. Lian Dao's performance in these four games still showed that he could not stop him.
These four games defeated the Atlanta Hawks, Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers, and New Jersey Nets.
Except for the Golden State Warriors and the New Jersey Nets who defeated their opponents with 10 points, they narrowly defeated their opponents with 3-5 points in the other two games.
When playing against the Golden State Warriors, Lian Dao met Stephen Curry again, but he did not start in this game, but instead appeared as a substitute, but also showed strong three-point ability.
Although it has not yet reached its peak three-point ability, it has now taken a certain prototype.
Stephen Curry also made 6 three-pointers in this game.
Lian Dao made 9 three-pointers in the game.
Lian Dao's three-pointers from a long distance also opened up the world for Stephen Curry. It turned out that three-pointers could still be played like this.
Stephen Curry has made extremely long three-pointers in the NCAA, but the NCAA's three-point line is shorter than the NBA's three-point line. And as the most powerful scorer in the Davidson Academy, he has unlimited numbers in the NCAA.
Right to open fire.
However, Stephen was not like this when he came to the NBA.
The Warriors' current star is Monta Ellis, who occupies a lot of ball rights, and Curry, the most rookie, actually doesn't have much ball rights.
As a rookie, Curry can only endure it in the Warriors.
He envies Lian Dao very much at this point. Both are rookies in 2009, Lian Dao has firmly become the core of the Knicks and can score 30+ points in every game. It can be said that their group of rookies in 2009 are in 2009.
Compared with Lian Dao, it is like a player of two levels.
The team Curry wants to go to most is actually the Knicks, but the butterfly's wings flapping in this life are indeed a bit powerful. The Knicks won the No. 1 pick, so the Knicks did not pursue Curry like in history.
But from D'Antoni's mouth, Lian Dao also knew that he was very optimistic about this baby-faced point guard. I have to say that D'Antoni is still very outstanding in identifying people.
As a coach of Nash, D'Antoni does not think Curry is very weak. On the contrary, his excellent three-point ability makes D'Antoni think that Curry has more attacking ability than Nash.
Historically, if the Warriors hadn't intercepted the Warriors, Curry might have come to the Big Apple City where he was longing for him.
In this game, mad scientist Don Nelson wanted to really see which of these two players has better three-pointers.
It is obvious that Lian Dao won, which is understandable. Lian Dao's three-point shooting talent comes from Stephen Curry, but from his strength in 2012.
And Curry is now far from as strong as in 2012.
But this time Lian Dao's ultra-long three-pointer also strengthened Curry's confidence, and he was more certain that he needed to develop his ultra-long three-pointer ability.
After the game, the two also shook hands and hugged each other.
Curry asked Lian Dao for advice on the three-pointer at this time, which was a bit unexpected for Lian Dao, but he still shared some of the experiences he shared in later media interviews.
Including shooting speed, confidence in decisive three-point shooting, etc.
The best one is always the most suitable for him. Lian Dao has not outlined his experience too much. The two people have different positions, their body shapes and offensive methods are also different. Curry should have the best way to suit him, and Lian Dao is also
I don't want to let him take detours because of myself.
Although he can walk back to his own path when he comes back, the time spent in the middle cannot be compensated.
In this game, the Knicks also defeated the Golden State Warriors who came from afar 121:107.
I originally thought that fighting against the New Jersey Nets would be a Chinese derby battle.
Unexpectedly, Yi Jianlian was injured and sat in the audience wearing a suit.
At the beginning of this season, Yi Jianlian is in very good condition.
He also scored a double-double record of 17 points and 12 rebounds in the opening game of this season.
In the second game, he also scored 12 points + 5 rebounds.
But I didn't expect to get accidentally injured while fighting against the Charlotte Bobcats.
If it weren't for Liandao's system, Yi Jianlian should be one of the best basketball players among the Chinese.
Yi Jianlian won the rookie of the month with a shooting percentage of 50% per game. Even compared with Durant, he was not very willing to give in.
At that time, many fans also had high hopes for Yi Jianlian, but he was injured.
After he recovered from injury, he also fell out of the ranks of starters.
The playing time has been greatly reduced.
After coming to the Nets, Yi Jianlian broke out again and settled in the starting position, but was injured again this season.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but he was absent for about one and a half months.
At the end of the game, the Knicks also defeated the New Jersey Nets 118:105 this time.
After the game, Yi Jianlian was also the host and originally wanted to invite Lian Dao to dinner, but since they had a back-to-back match the next day, they had to pack up their things back to New York, so the meal was put on hold.
But the two still used a short time to communicate.
Before leaving, Lian Dao still reminded Yi Jianlian, pay attention to physical protection and communication with his teammates.
After these four games, the Knicks felt a little uncomfortable in the next game.
Their next two games are the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Two big old men from the east and west.
Moreover, the game against the Celtics was back-to-back.
After these two games: Kings of Saramento, Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns.
Except for the Kings of Saramento, none of the other teams are weak teams.
Needless to say, the Boston Celtics are the Big Three, Garnett, the Iron Blood Wolf King, the Immortal Warrior Pierce, the three-point shooter, and the point guard Rajon center Rondo.
If Rajon Rondo was not of height, to be honest, his rebounding prediction ability, if he was taller, he would definitely become an excellent center and an organizational center.
After Garnett was reimbursed for injury last season, he returned this season. Although his condition declined, he still averaged 13.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
However, his average blocks per game did decline, which also shows that although his dominance in the inside is still very strong, he is no longer the Wolf King he used to be.
Paul Pierce is still performing stably this season, as if it is still the truth.
Ray Allen averaged 5 three-pointers per game and shot a 36.3% shooting percentage. Although it declined a bit compared to last season, it is still the Celtics' strongest outside support.
In this game, the outside world looked down on the Knicks, not only the outside world, but also the local media and fans in New York were not optimistic.
Not only is the difference in overall strength too big, but it is also back-to-back.
Although Millsap has performed well recently, it is unlikely to limit Garnett.
The only advantage that the Knicks has in this is Liandao.
Although Paul Pierce's performance is still stable, they do not believe that the 32-year-old Paul Pierce can defend Lian Dao's first speed impact.
But there are too many differences in other locations.
The fans and the media's dissatisfaction is not unreasonable, but some fans are optimistic about the Knicks and believe that the Knicks are not without the possibility of winning.
The Celtics' lineup is indeed strong, but that is relative to the playoffs and teams that are mainly in the inside and move slowly.
For teams like the Youth Guards and teams that mainly run and shoot, the Celtics have a low winning rate.
After all, a group of old comrades in their 30s couldn't run in speed.
The only five starters, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins, are in their 20s, while the others are over 32 years old.
Even the substitute lineup has two main substitutes aged 30 and above.
So, once a team faces a fast break and run-and-shoot team, it will be a disaster for the Celtics.
And in the game against the Celtics, there is only one way to win, that is: run!!
In this regard, some fans think that D'Antoni is an expert and will make the most correct tactical arrangements.
Moreover, the average starting age of the Knicks main players is no more than 25 years old.
However, now these are all the imaginations of some Knicks fans.
