On February 6, one day apart, the opponent was still 76ers, and the home and the guest team changed their formation, and the two teams fought again at the Madison Square Garden Arena.
This time, he also beat 76ers.
Lian Dao still reduced his shots and made goals for his teammates. Lian Dao's assists were above 15 in both games.
However, there are still some changes brought about by these two games. Although Holiday and Tony Allen's shooting levels have not increased much, they are obviously much more confident when they take action.
The game is still progressing steadily, and the Los Angeles Clippers will be played at home on February 9.
Although the Clippers' record this season is still at the bottom of the Western Conference, their second-place finisher Blake Griffin has performed very well this season, especially the average 26 points and 13.4 rebounds per game in January, which also surprised the entire game.
west.
Of course, with the Clippers' record, only Los Angeles fans will not say that this guy is a trick.
In the evening's game against the Clippers, the Knicks played more easily than before against the 76ers.
Although Griffin is excellent, Xiao Si is not a vegetarian either.
Xiao Si was also a little excited in this game. The last time he met, the rookie's performance might not be restricted, which made Xiao Si very embarrassed.
In this game, Xiao Si became much more serious on both offense and defense.
That seriousness almost made Lian Dao think that Xiao Si is playing in the playoffs.
The Clippers' strength was not very good at first, and when they met Serious Si, the result was imagined.
After three quarters, 69:92, the Knicks led by 23 points, and Griffin was completely restricted by Sir in this game.
In the third quarter, under the defense of Sir Jr., Griffin only scored 10 points and 6 rebounds.
And Sir scored 34 points and 13 rebounds.
In the fourth quarter, Lian Dao sat on the bench and watched Xiao Si play against Griffin on the court.
In the end, the Knicks defeated the Clippers who came from afar with 91:112 at home. Lian Dao scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists, and Si Xiao scored 40 points and 15 rebounds.
Although the Knicks easily won this game, the Knicks would not be so easy in the next game.
Their next game opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers. Although the Lakers and the Clippers belong to Los Angeles, the strength of these two teams is one in the sky and the other underground.
Moreover, in the last time the Lakers lost to the Knicks, Kobe was given a shameful big hat by Lian Dao. The slim Kobe will definitely get the spot in this game.
...
On February 11, they faced the Los Angeles Lakers at home, and on the 12th, they were back-to-back against the New Jersey Nets, which was their first back-to-back game in February.
Fortunately, although they are back to back away, the two places are very close to each other.
And every time I play at the Putianshou Center Stadium, there are more Knicks fans than Nets fans in the game.
It can be said that against the New Jersey Nets, for the Nick, it is a home game.
However, before playing against the New Jersey Nets, the first level they had to pass was the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although the Lakers' record this season is not as explosive as last season.
However, the reputation of the defending champion cannot be ignored. The existence of Kobe, Bynum, Odom, and Gasol make the Lakers still the top three championship contenders in the league.
Lian Dao attaches great importance to the Lakers' games. Compared with some of the bottom teams, against strong teams like the Lakers and the Heat, it will further stimulate Lian Dao's fighting spirit.
On the 11th, Lian Dao arrived at the training hall early, earlier than Holiday who has been practicing more recently.
He took the lead in finding the shooting feel, the feel of a game, and has a lot to do with his preparation before the game.
After shooting, Lian Dao went to the physiotherapist and relaxed his muscles. Although the schedule of this season was not very tense, daily physical care was the long-term guarantee of a player's career.
At the same time, Los Angeles Lakers players also took a special plane to New York International Airport.
Kobe was wearing sunglasses and a cold expression on his face.
The Lakers are experiencing their longest away journey of the season.
They had beaten the New Orleans Hornets and the Memphis Grizzlies away in the Western Conference before the Knicks.
When they came to the East away game, they just defeated their arch rival Celtics away at North Shore Garden at 92:86 last night.
Therefore, the Lakers, who have won three consecutive away games, have now seen their morale rise.
However, after just experiencing a battle with the Celtics, the Lakers are now going to play back to back against the Knicks, and they are now more of a tired army.
When Lian Dao was asked the question "What do you think of the back-to-back Lakers?", Lian Dao's answer was also very straightforward.
"Although it's back-to-back, we still won't underestimate the Lakers. Even with Kobe here, the Lakers should not be underestimated even if they are back-to-back!"
Of course, after Kobe came to New York, he was also interviewed by the media: "What do you think of the Knicks' strength this season!"
"This is a team with two All-Star starters. I don't need to say what Si's strength is; Sickle has grown up completely, and the Knicks' record this season can reflect Sickle's ability to lead the team. Compared with the Heat,
The Knicks' strength cannot be ignored!"
In the last game, Kobe lost to Lian Dao in both data and team-leading results.
Since then, this paranoid has been waiting for another showdown with Lian Dao.
In his eyes, Lian Dao is no longer the rookie of last season. Now he has put Lian Dao at the same level as himself.
...
"This is the second time the Lakers and the Knicks have played against each other this season. The last battle between the two sides was the Knicks who won the final victory at the Staples Center, the home court of the Lakers. In that game, Sickle scored 36 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists.
, and the restrictions on Kobe are very good."
"But one thing I have to say is that Kobe may be more difficult to deal with in this game than before. I hope Sickle is mentally prepared!"
In the evening, the national live game officially kicked off in Madison Square Garden.
Today's Staples Arena is crowded with people, not only that, but even the square outside is surrounded by spectators. Kenny Smith, his partner Big Mouth Barkley and commentator Reggie Miller began today's commentary work.
...
Kobe was the same as when he had played in the previous game, and he did not talk to Lian Dao before the game.
For Kobe, the paranoid, as long as the game is not over, the two of them will be enemies on the court, or they are in a hostile state. He will not show goodwill to his opponent in a hostile state, even if it is just a simple greeting.
As for the opponent of Lian Dao in this game, Artest, this guy was staring at himself with his eyes wide open and kept staring at him. In the last fight, his restrictions on Lian Dao were not outstanding. It can be said that he had a limited time in the previous game.
In the past, he let Lian Dao get too much money on himself.
In this game, Artest was also specially reminded by the Zen master to be careful of Lian Dao.
Before the game started, all the Knicks fans were cheering for the home team, and Lian Dao's name resounded through Madison Square Garden.
With the blessing of the home atmosphere, Liandao is also full of momentum.
But this did not scare Artest. This guy was a villain when he was young, and his favorite thing to do was to destroy the performances of the opponent stars.
The referee whistle sounded, and the highly anticipated game finally began.
Bynum sent the jump ball to the Lakers. Although it was replaced, it still had the same result as the previous jump ball. Bynum beat Cousins and got the ball to the Lakers.
Derek Fisher calmly passed the ball through the half and handed the ball to Kobe who received the ball from the outside, and then ran to help Kobe open up the space.
Although Fisher is often criticized by fans, he has two magic weapons that are the key to helping the Lakers win five championships. The first is the high-level shooting ability. Whether it is three-pointers or two-pointers at the high-level, his shooting ability is
It's online.
The most important thing is that Fisher is not ruthless at critical moments and has a big heart, which should be one of the reasons why Kobe can become teammates with him for a long time.
The second is defense. Although Fisher's defense is not the top in the league, his defensive ability is definitely above the league average. Even at the age of 36 this year, his defense is still online, and of course he meets "baby".
” Westbrook said another.
These two important skills are also the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the Lakers.
This is also the reason why Fisher clearly didn't score high, but the opponent's outside line dared not let Fisher off easily.
