Knicks bench player Steve. Novak's efficient play in the last two games has attracted a lot of media attention. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the end of the draft in the summer of '08, all the news about the New York Giants has been inseparable from the popular Chinese player. This time, I finally found some fresh material.

On Nov. 18, the New York Knicks played the Indiana Pacers away game, which was a game that Novak could brag about for a lifetime.

In the first two games, Novak's efficient and stable performance on the outside allowed the coaching staff to give him a lot of playing time even when Chinese player Sun Yue returned from illness.

After a few days of rest, the Knicks' boys couldn't lift their spirits in the game. Relying on the team's core player Sun Yi to rush left and right, the away team, which was passive throughout the game, still retained the hope of overtaking the score in the fourth quarter.

In the last minute of the game, the home team's number one star Granger missed a three-point shot from the periphery, and because the height of the inside line was not as good as that of the opponent, the veteran Mike Days could only rely on experience to jam Roy behind him. Hibbert, a Chinese teenager with excellent judgment of rebounding points, used the cover of his teammates to receive his tenth rebound of the game.

He wanted to launch a fast attack, but he was entangled by the 'Black Lightning' T.J. Ford. Seeing that the other players of the opponent had returned to the halfcourt and quickly settled down, the Knicks, who were behind the score, could only enter the positional battle.

Sun Yi, who attacked with the ball, and his teammates cooperated with many blocks and dismantles were resolved one by one by the united Pacers. Seeing that there was not much time left for the attack, the Chinese guy, who was enraged by the opponent's tight defense, chose to force a breakthrough.

He used his speed to get rid of Ford's entanglement a little, came to the free throw line to face Hibbert's defense, and made a jump shot.

The 2.18-meter-tall Pacers center is menacing, and his arms raised high almost block all the angles of the Knicks' No. 8 shots. But the Chinese guy's super ability to stay in the air made him finally wait for a chance before his body began to fall.

Due to the interference of his opponent, Sun Yi's shooting posture in the air was slightly backward. The ball passed a high parabola and burrowed into the net when the referee's whistle sounded.

2+1！

The Pacers center, who couldn't hold back, had a slight touch with the opponent's body before landing, and did not escape the eyes of the first referee of the game.

This is Sun Yi's 21st 2+1 this season, surpassing the 20 times of the little emperor James and temporarily becoming the breakthrough king of the league.

More importantly, after the Chinese teenager invested in this penalty, his personal score in this game came to 45 and successfully narrowed the gap between the two teams to two points.

Seeing the bad situation of Pacers head coach Jimmy. O'Brien quickly requested a timeout, and he had to figure out how to get points in the next crucial round to ensure he was invincible.

Novak, who shot 5 of 8 three-pointers in this game, basically did not get a chance to play in the final quarter of the game due to his limited physical fitness and defensive ability. However, he was already very satisfied, and while giving towels to his teammates, he also came to the head coach's side to listen carefully to the tactical arrangements behind.

The Pacers' final offense will undoubtedly be in the wake of All-Star small forward Danny Brown. Granger's hands are complete. In order to defend the opponent's crucial offensive round, Coach Woy asked Chinese player Sun Yue to keep an eye on the opponent's number one star.

The handsome guy in Hebei, who has made rapid progress for more than a year, really did not disappoint the coaching staff. The defensive attitude of not giving up an inch of land made Granger, who had consumed the time of the round, only reluctantly shot.

Boom!

The ball was picked up by veteran Mike Deis, who immediately called the team's last timeout of the game.

102 to 104!

With four seconds left in the game, the away Knicks still have a chance to equalize or overtake.

After a tense adjustment, D'Antoni put out a fighting lineup. Sun Yi, the core of the team, played with the team's best four goalscorers, Afflalo, Novak, Harrington, and Milicic.

The 2.08m-tall Novak stood on the sideline of midfield ready to serve, his mind was full of tactics that manager D'Antoni had just used to set up a timeout.

Chinese teammate Sun Yi will be the first choice for this attack, and the coaching staff has no objections to this expected arrangement. But the second scoring point actually chose himself.

Novak feels like he's back in college, back on the field at Marquard. This feeling of being trusted and valued filled his entire heart.

These mental activities are just a matter of stunned effort. When the Knicks small forward received the ball from the referee, he immediately focused his attention on the game that was about to resume.

……

After a series of off-ball screens, Novak managed to pass the ball to the core of the team and immediately began to run along the halfway line to the other side of the half, as the coach had arranged.

At this time, all the players of the Pacers on the court focused their attention on the Chinese player, and it was indeed a shameless thing for that guy to score 45 points in front of the home fans in this game.

Granger, the Pacers' number one star who defended Novak, obviously didn't take this 'white noodles' seriously, although he stood in front of the opponent, all the attention was left to the Chinese player.

Novak is a very strong team player, and he meticulously executes the tactical arrangements of head coach D'Antoni. Firmly stand in the spot where you do best, 45 degrees to the right of the top of the arc.

When the Knicks core used his speed to get rid of T.J. Ford's marking, he went straight from the right side of the free throw line to the inside. Granger, who was closest to the Chinese boy, naturally let go of the little-known white player in front of him and immediately pounced on the more threatening top scorer of the visiting team.

Novak marveled at the unparalleled breakthrough ability of his Chinese teammates and saw hope of an equaliser. Because Sun Yi had already jumped high in the air before Granger and Hibbert formed a siege......

When all the Pacers players and their home fans were praying in their hearts that the opposing team's shot would lose their crosshairs. The Chinese youngster, who jumped high, suddenly made an unexpected move.

"Steve, catch the ball!"

Novak, who thought he had completed the task, suddenly heard the call of the Knicks' No. 8 player. Immediately after, the ball from the opponent came to his chest impartially.

A comfortable pass will make the shooter naturally have a habitual reaction. Novak, who received the ball outside the three-point line, completely entered the realm of self-forgetfulness. It's like he's practicing his shooting alone in the Knicks' gym, and he can't see his opponents or hear the cacophony of the arena. The Knicks, who only had a hoop in his eyes, substituted the small forward and pulled the ball out of his hand as the numbers on the timing board came to an end.

……

When the fans in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena showed an expression of disbelief. The Knicks players who killed their opponents in the last minute of the game instantly rushed to their teammates who hit the last shot and were in a state of being pressed.

Surrounded by a crowd, Novak was not convinced that it was not a dream until his teammates' palms slapped him on the head in good faith. He really completed a standard stunner and helped the team get this hard-fought victory.

He found the Chinese teammate who had given him a wonderful assist from the crowd, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the core of the team with a knowing smile.

At this moment, there is no need to say any words of gratitude, just enjoy the wonderful feeling of victory.

……

At the post-game press conference, Knicks coach D'Antoni deliberately brought two of his favorite players to complete the match. Since entering the league, the Chinese youngster, who has been in the spotlight of the media, has been reduced to a rare supporting role today.

However, some uncrowned kings with ulterior motives still try their best to create topics.

"In the last offense, why did you choose to pass the ball instead of shooting yourself, is that an option to evade responsibility?"

As an NBA player with countless fans, you have to learn how to deal with the media while doing your job on the court.

Although some journalists will look for thorns with prejudice, the vast majority of the questions they ask are determined by the nature of their work. Sun Yi is generally very generous in the face of this kind of 'difficulty'.

"Haha! If a two-pointer could kill an opponent at the time, there would be no such problem now. Why didn't I choose to shoot the ball myself but pass the ball, it's actually very simple, I just care if I can win or not! ”

After answering this question, the Chinese guy gave up the venue to the lore hero very cooperatively. To the disappointment of the reporters in the audience, in their eyes, the inspirational little man who had already booked tomorrow's news headlines, in addition to thanking the coaching staff for giving him the opportunity to show his ability, was left to praise the core of the team who trusted him very much in the game.

The Chinese guy sitting next to him looked caught off guard.

……

Marquette University's all-time best three-point shooter, and his dream journey in the NBA is clearly not over.

On November 20, the Knicks, who returned to New York from Indiana, stopped by to challenge the Nets, who had lost 11 in a row, in New Jersey. Devin was highly anticipated by the team's management. Harris Brooke. The Lopez combination did not meet the fans' expectations of the two at all. Among them, Harris, who is regarded as the cornerstone of the team's future, has plummeted in competitive form. I can't see this point guard who is known for his speed, and he was almost selected to the All-Star team last season.

Chinese player Yi Jianlian, after an amazing performance at the beginning of the season, fell into a capricious state of injury. This Chinese derby with the Knicks can only be watched on the wall in formal costumes.

In the face of such a 'rotten net' with low momentum and plagued by injuries, the Knicks, as a sworn enemy of the neighborhood, will never let go of this opportunity to sprinkle salt on the other party's wounds.

118 to 86!

The 32-point win is enough to prove the current gap between the two teams.

Novak, who scored 18 points in the last game and hit the game, is not only now a celebrity in the eyes of the media, but also enjoyed the treatment of a star for the first time in this game.

He came off the bench and was given 30 minutes of playing time. Moreover, with a big lead over his opponent, his teammates constantly fed him the ball. The inspirational little man who entered a state of madness made 15 three-point shots and hit 8 of them.

The 24 points in a single game set a new career high for Novak. After the game, in addition to the Chinese player Sun Yi, who got 24 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists, there were the most reporters around him, and down was the newly rising Knicks three-point battery.

Novak's usually low-key and modest personality, coupled with the good locker room atmosphere in the team, makes all Knicks players have sincere wishes in addition to appreciation.

……

Novak's sudden rise has made the New York giants, who are not short of public attention, the most watched team in the league in the past week.

On November 22, the competition against the old giants Boston Celtics at home 'Basketball Mecca' attracted the attention of countless fans.

Ever since Kevin. After Garnett underwent surgery on his right knee last year, the former league-of-the-league defensive player couldn't get back to his peak form. He has become the biggest uncertain factor on the way to the championship for Celtic.

However, before the game against the Knicks, the spiritual leader and interior core of the Clover returned from injury in time.

The highlight of this game is not only the direct confrontation of the players on the field, but also the famous defensive master Tom Murphy. Thibodeau and league newcomer Steve. Voyciechhovsky tactically limited each other.

The two rivals with a long history presented the audience with the highest intensity and tactical level of the regular season since the start of the new season.

Lost all-round striker Wilson. Chandler's New York Knicks simply couldn't limit 'Truth' Pierce's offense during the game. And Novak, who played confidently in these games, was exposed one by one after being taken care of by the other party. Not only has he lost his former crosshairs, but he also has no sense of presence in defense.

In addition to the Chinese youngsters, the home team is as efficient and stable as ever, and the only one who can help is Harrington, the sixth person who can help the super wave thrower. Today, as the starting small forward, although he can't prevent Pierce's colorful offensive style, Harrington, who has the advantage of height, has not made the Celtics captain deflated. All kinds of unreasonable shots came at hand, and the key is that in today's game, his shooting percentage has been maintained above 50%.

Plus the Celtics' outside weapon, Ray. Allen, who met the extremely difficult Afflaro, and Junzi Lei, who hoped to help the team win with a three-point shot, was really dumb and couldn't say what he was suffering from.

At the beginning, Knicks general manager Chapman, why he traded this former UCLA star player from the Pistons, was because Afflalo had a lot of experience with the fast and flexible outside players on the other side.

Sun Yi's contest with All-Star point guard Rondo can only be said to have a slight advantage. Attacking the team, the opponent is constrained by his limited height and strength, and the threat posed to the Knicks' No. 8 player is limited. But this small defender can always help the team score with passes.

For a time, the game between the two eastern neighbors was inseparable. (To be continued.) )
