Two days later, after the Knicks returned to their home court, they vented all the frustration accumulated in the away game on the Sacramento Kings. The Knicks scored 101:65 in the three quarters. In the fourth quarter, D'Antoni gave up all the starting players.
Pressed down on the bench.
If the fight continues, it will no longer be a competition, but a feud.
However, I don’t know if the Knicks’ substitutes were affected by the starting lineup. They lost an 8-2 game at the beginning of the fourth quarter. D’Antoni had no choice but to switch to the third rotation.
Eddy Curry was also activated for the first time this season.
Outside of the media, this would have been a showdown between the best rookies in the East and West, but Tyreke Evans was almost completely restricted in this game. Under Lian Dao's defense, he made 7 turnovers in the game. I originally expected Tyreke Evans to win.
The media, who had a brilliant performance of Rick Evans, unexpectedly turned out to be a mere slap on the wrist.
This was expected by the media, but also made them feel a little bit disappointed.
After the Knicks defeated the Kings at home, all the Knicks' games before the All-Star break are over, and their next regular season game will be after the All-Star weekend.
So far, the Knicks have played a total of 51 games, 82 games in the regular season, and more than half of the schedule has passed.
After the All-Star Game, most teams in the Eastern Conference will be divided into three groups.
Teams that feel like they can't make the playoffs will start to completely fail.
Teams that are trying their best to make the playoffs will make a surprise move after the All-Star break.
Teams that have basically determined that they can enter the playoffs will also start to rest appropriately. After all, a season is very long. If a player plays every game, it will increase the risk of injury to the player.
Proper rotation can ensure the health of the team's lineup.
The Spurs are very knowledgeable about this, especially when it comes to resting players, and the reasons given are various.
The most shameless thing was that in order to get the No. 1 pick in the selection of Duncan, the Spurs did everything possible, directly causing Admiral David Robinson to be "forced to be injured" for most of the season, and then four of the five main players were injured.
He played most of the season as a substitute.
In the 1996-97 season, the Spurs had 20 wins and 62 losses, but there was another team that was worse than the Spurs, and that was the Celtics, with 15 wins and 67 losses, which was as good as the current Nets, but in the end they won the No. 1 pick.
Still, the Spurs got it.
As long as Auerbach is still in the Celtics management, Stern will not let the No. 1 pick fall into the hands of the Celtics. It is said that Auerbach took the initiative to leave the Celtics management and failed to compete for the No. 1 pick.
It's one of them.
The Knicks have achieved a record of 35 wins and 16 losses in 51 games and are currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference. They have the same number of wins as the Magic and one less loss than the Magic.
1. Cleveland Cavaliers (42 wins and 11 losses).
2. New York Knicks (35 wins and 16 losses).
3. Orlando Magic (35 wins and 17 losses).
4. Atlanta Hawks (33 wins and 18 losses).
5. Boston Celtics (32 wins and 18 losses).
6. Toronto Raptors (29 wins, 23 losses).
7, Charlotte Bobcats (26 wins, 25 losses).
8. Chicago Bulls (25 wins, 26 losses).
At present, in the entire Eastern Division, except for the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is the dominant team, the next two and three teams have the same number of wins. It can be said that whoever wins the next game first will have an immediate change in ranking; the fourth and fifth teams will have the same number of wins.
The seventh and eighth places are almost the same, with only one game difference between them.
The Knicks' goal is to stay in the top three, so that they have a chance to avoid the Celtics in the first round. If they meet the Celtics or Atlanta Hawks in the first round, it will be difficult for the Knicks to escape the first round.
possible.
Once they face these two teams, the best outcome for the Knicks is a tiebreaker, but Lian Dao feels that even a tiebreaker is unlikely. The best result is 4:2. The Knicks took advantage of their unstable footing and grabbed two games.
A victory.
The Boston Celtics' record has also declined recently. This is mainly because the Celtics have too many veterans. Pierce and Garnett are both injured in rotation. Garnett was injured in January and missed several games. At the end of January
Just after returning, the Celtics players had just played a few games together, and then Pierce was injured again and was sidelined.
The Big Three played together very rarely in January and February.
Therefore, the decline in performance during this period is easy to understand.
Even if there are very few opportunities for the Big Three to be complete, they can still remain stable at around fourth or fifth place. Therefore, the Hawks are currently constantly moving forward to catch up. They do not want to meet the Celtics in the first round.
The next week, the NBA will enter its annual All-Star Game.
The 2010 All-Star Game was held from February 13th to February 15th. Basically, the All-Star Game is held during this time period every year, but this year’s All-Star Game coincides with the Chinese Lunar New Year.
It has been two years since Lian Dao spent the Spring Festival with his parents. The last time he celebrated the Spring Festival was when Lian Dao was in his senior year of high school and entered the University of Southern California. During the Spring Festival, Lian Dao was leading the University of Southern California to compete in the NCAA playoffs.
And this time, it happened to coincide with the All-Star Game.
NBA All-Star Weekend has three days in total.
February 13th is the NBA Cares Action, Fan Carnival, NBA Masters Game, Rookie Challenge, and NBDL DreamWorks Skills Competition.
February 14th NBA Fan Carnival, East and West star team training, NBDL All-Star Game, NBA All-Star Saturday Night, Shooting Star Contest, Skills Challenge, Long Shot Contest, Slam Dunk Contest.
NBA Fan Carnival, All-Star East-West Game on February 15th.
Lian Dao will participate in the Rookie Challenge on February 13, the three-point contest and dunk contest on February 14, and the All-Star East-West Game on February 15.
The entertainment nature of the All-Star Game is greater than the nature of the game. The NBA All-Star Game not only has fans and NBA players, but also a large number of star singers, Hollywood actors, etc. in various fields. When the time comes, these famous people will come to the All-Star Game. It can be said that
The Full Name Game is a linkage between sports and entertainment.
To put it bluntly, the Rookie Challenge is a competition between first-year rookies and second-year rookies. In previous years, there wasn’t much to watch because it was basically second-year rookies beating first-year rookies, but this year is different.
Because Lian Dao is a first-year rookie, but his strength is not inferior to some of the superstars in the All-Star Game.
So this year, many viewers are also looking forward to the exciting showdown between Lian Dao and the previous Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose.
In addition to the All-Star Game, the long-range shooting contests that receive the most attention are the three-point shooting contest and the slam dunk contest.
Last year, the league also revised the rules for participating in the Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest. Previously, participating players were directly invited by the league, but starting from last year, it was changed to league invitation plus fan voting. Fans will be invited by the league.
Six players were voted among the players to participate in the three-point shooting contest, and the dunk contest also followed the same rules.
Lian Dao entered among the 6 people without any doubt.
In addition to the defending champion Heat pitcher Daquan Cook, the other five contestants in the three-point contest are: Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics), Chauncey Billups (Denver Nuggets), Stephen Curry
(Golden State Warriors), Channing Frye (Phoenix Suns) and Lian Dao (New York Knicks).
After Gallinari saw Lian Dao sign up for the three-point shooting competition, he decisively gave up. The daily training gym was already a hard enough blow, and he really didn't want to continue being abused on the court.
The six-man roster for the slam dunk contest is.
Participating in this year's dunk contest are defending champion Nate Robinson (76ers), Gerald Wallace (Bobcats), Shannon Brown (Lakers), DeMar DeRozan (Timberwolves), Eric -
Gordon (Clippers), Lian Dao (Knicks).
The biggest hot spot in this year's All-Star Game is still 23VS24. Although Lian Dao won the All-Star vote, this does not mean that Lian Dao's popularity can surpass that of James and Kobe. As the biggest hot spot created by Stern, they
The duel between the two has definitely been a constant topic in recent years.
But something unexpected happened this year. Kobe's shooting index finger and little finger have been injured, but he still continued to play.
Against the Bobcats on February 4 and against the Nuggets on February 6, Kobe injured his left ankle in two consecutive games, which forced Kobe to rest.
Although Kobe is still in the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup, it is still unknown whether he will play in the game.
