Chapter 171 As long as you don't give up, you can still climb to the top
At the end of the game, 109:86, the Knicks defeated the Nets with a huge score. This was also their third victory over the Nets this season.
At the end of the game, Yi Jianlian scored a double-double with 34 points and 10 rebounds.
But Yi Jianlian is not particularly happy with the high score he got, and Lian Dao also knows the reason. After the Nets lost to the Knicks, they have lost 11 consecutive games, which is second only to the 18-game losing streak at the beginning of the season.
Lian Dao didn't know what to say at this time. After the game, Lian Dao patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder and gave him a hug.
"Don't worry too much about failure. It's not your fault. You have tried your best!" Lian Dao struggled for a while and finally said this in a comforting manner.
Yi Jianlian nodded.
This game should be quite perfect for the Knicks.
But for the domestic audience, it was a little disappointing. This is not to say that they were disappointed with the performance of Lian Dao and Yi Jianlian, but that the audience was originally expecting a very fierce battle, with the scores of the two teams being evenly matched.
You chased after me, and the fight continued until the fourth quarter with no real winner. It was a very anxious game.
Then, at the last moment, Yi Jianlian or Lian Dao each represented their own team and completed the game.
This is the showdown in the audience's mind, but the matchup time between Yi Jianlian and Lian Dao in this game actually didn't last too long. Judging by the time between the two people, the total time of the match was only about one quarter.
time.
The Knicks established a big lead in the first half. It can be said that the victory of this game was established in the first half, and Lian Dao did not play in the second half.
Although the fans were a little disappointed, the game was still very exciting in the limited time matchup.
Needless to say Lian Dao, as for Yi Jianlian.
The Nets lost, but the UAE did not lose.
During the handshake ceremony after the game, the two hugged again.
"Let's have dinner together later?"
After the hug, Yi Jianlian said to Lian Dao.
The previous game against the Nets was back-to-back, so neither of them had time to have a meal together.
This time the Knicks and Nets will not have a game tomorrow, and the Knicks will also have a flight tomorrow.
The two of us had Chinese food, although it was not very authentic. New Jersey is too small and there are not many Chinese people, so Chinese restaurants are relatively rare. Finding one is pretty good.
Yi Jianlian and Lian Dao also talked a lot when they had dinner. Yi Jianlian's personality has changed a lot since he first entered the league. Of course, these two people were teammates in the Asian Championships and they are both Chinese, so they didn't talk much.
The reason for the feeling of unfamiliarity.
However, Yi Jianlian's personality is indeed changing, which can be seen from the pick-and-roll calls and mutual screen exchanges with his teammates on the court.
Yi Jianlian also admired and envied Lian Dao very much. He admired and envied Lian Dao for being able to chat with anyone. He could see the teasing and joking between Lian Dao and his teammates on the Knicks bench. He saw everyone in the Knicks.
The trust that players have in Lian Dao is something he has never encountered in the Bucks or Nets. He has only felt it in China.
Similarly, he also admired this compatriot who was younger than him. He was able to make waves and achieve dazzling results when he first entered the league. Even some retired superstars shook their heads when they mentioned Lian Dao and said: There is no other rookie like him.
After the meal, when the two of them parted ways, Lian Dao hesitated for a while and gave Yi Jianlian a suggestion to practice more three-pointers.
Lian Dao did not emphasize it deliberately. After all, everyone has their own way to go.
The reason why we emphasize three-pointers is because Yi Jianlian has been injured, and we have to admit that the physical strength of yellow people is indeed not as good as that of black people. If he wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he will not have an advantage physically, but the shooting touch of yellow people is
Very good. As long as Yi Jianlian can develop a stable three-point shooting from the outside, he will definitely be very popular in the NBA in the future.
Because this is the future trend, even the center must have excellent three-point shooting ability, otherwise you can only become a blue-collar player.
Yi Jianlian nodded. Although he accepted Lian Dao's suggestion, he did not take it seriously.
This is also normal. It is only the end of 2009, and the league has not yet launched a wave of three-pointers. Although Lian Dao often uses three-pointers in the regular season and has also broken the three-pointer record, many people, including some head coaches, still think that
Three-pointers are just an unstable means of chasing points in some games and cannot become a conventional weapon.
Once in the playoffs, when the intensity of the game increases, the three-point shooting percentage will naturally drop. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage will naturally be, and the scoring will be more stable.
No one in the league right now thinks a bunch of three-point shooters are going to win a championship.
Yes, no one now thought that the inconspicuous baby-faced rookie of the Warriors would change the entire league with three-pointers, so that later three-pointers became a regular scoring method.
And that harmless baby-face led the Warriors to four championships in eight years, and he even won all the major honors in the NBA.
He also proved that one man, one city, can still reach the top as long as he doesn't give up.
…
After the Knicks defeated the Nets, they fixed their December record at 12 wins and 3 losses. It can be said that this record is very good. The Knicks management did not expect that the team could hand over such an excellent player in December.
Answer sheet.
However, the Knicks do not have the most wins in the Eastern Conference, because the Cavaliers' record is even more terrifying, with 14 wins and 3 losses.
They had two more games than the Knicks in December. Out of 17 games, the Cavaliers led by James won 14. It can be said that the Cavaliers, whose lineup was fully integrated, were very scary in December.
James also won 1 vote over Lian Dao and was elected as the Player of the Month for December. James averaged 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game in December.
Lian Dao averaged 27.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 11.2 assists in December.
In fact, Lian Dao's data is more comprehensive, but just because of the two extra wins, James won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in December.
Kobe Bryant won the Western Conference Player of the Month in December with 31.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists.
The Lakers also had the same 15 games as the Knicks in December, and the Lakers' record was the same as the Knicks' 12 wins and 3 losses. In the last five games of the Lakers in December, Kobe Bryant scored 35+ points in a row, but this time
The Lakers only won three games in five games, two of which were lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James and the other to the Phoenix Suns led by Nash in the Christmas game.
Needless to say, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Phoenix Suns this season are simply a nightmare for positional teams, because this season the Suns play at a slow pace and have almost never lost to teams with an average age, and most of the games they lose are to teams that are older than them.
A young Guards team that can still run.
Lian Dao won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month in December. This is basically a certainty. If the Cavaliers' record in December was not two more wins than the Knicks, Lian Dao would have made NBA history.
The first rookie to win Player of the Month twice in his rookie season.
The Western Conference Rookie of the Year is Tyreke Evans.
Tyreke Evans is the most stable rookie in this class besides Lian Dao. His statistics in December are also very impressive, with 22.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists.
Tyreke Evans has great talent, but in history, it was only a flash in the pan during his rookie season. This is partly because the Kings management and head coach did not know how to make good use of him, and also because of Tyreke Evans himself.
Kings throw out Tyreke Evans prospectus.
Tyreke Evans is 1.98 meters tall, but has a wingspan of 2.11 meters, and his athletic ability is very good.
This allows him to easily handle the job at the first and second positions.
In addition, Evans' football intelligence is also extraordinary, and he can correctly choose the right timing to score and pass the ball.
However, due to his weight and height, Evans is only suitable for the first and second positions, and his body is not suitable for the third position.
As a rookie, Kevin Martin served as the team's shooting guard for a long time, so Evans was more often assigned as the starting point guard by the team.
