Chapter 169: Three Consecutive Defeats and Three Consecutive Victories

Madison Garden Plaza, the 'Basketball Mecca', has been a favorite place for superstars since the inception of the NBA League. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On February 2, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the New York Knicks 126-117 away. Bryant shot 19-of-31 and 20-of-20 from the free-throw line to score a career-high 61 points.

Many of the home fans who came to watch the game stood up and applauded the incomparable superstar after the game!

It's too strong! It's simply impossible to defend!

Although there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, the game was not decided until more than halfway through the fourth quarter. Knicks coach D'Antoni used four men to mark Kobe Bryant in the game, and the result was still 51 points. In desperation, he had no choice but to let the Chinese rookie go to the Hall of Fame-level black mamba.

Seeing the opponent of the Olympic final coming to him, Kobe Bryant habitually taunted the other party. "Little guy, how many points did you get? Any idea how many points I scored? ”

"45 points!"

"What?" Kobe Bryant looked up at the data card over the court with some disbelief, oh!

The Knicks' No. 8 player faced Fisher, Jordan and Jordan in the previous game. An opponent of Famar's level, as long as he feels normal, it is still very easy to score points.

"Well, that's the end of your game!" After confirming the opponent's data, the core players of the Lakers who got serious said with a serious face.

Kobe Bryant's trash talk and humor are not at all, but he is best known for his words.

In the 5 minutes that decided the outcome of the game, against the hottest super rookie in the league, Kobe Bryant was stunned to prevent the opponent from shooting 0 of 4, and he also scored a crucial 10 points for the team. For a player of his level, there is no such thing as a bad defense, only the question of whether you want to defend or not. It seems that the outstanding performance of the Knicks Chinese teenagers this season has attracted the attention of the league's superstars.

Sun Yi, who was educated by idols, flashed the loneliness on his face, and was replaced by a resolute expression. Kobe, I will definitely beat you before you grow old!

……

On February 4, Madison Garden Square, who had just allowed Kobe Bryant to score 61 points two days ago, scored 52 points in the Knicks' game against the Cavaliers, and let James, the little emperor who faintly became the first person in the league, score 52 points and get the third-highest scoring record in his career.

The opponent has continuously scored high points from his own home, which makes the arrogant Chinese youngster very angry. Even though he had his third career triple-double with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, the team lost the game and the stats became meaningless to him.

Sun Yi knew that his teammates had done their best, the most physically perverted guy in NBA history, and countless times he rushed into the Knicks' empty interior layup to score as if no one was in a no-man's land, just like a touchdown score in a football game.

……

On Feb. 6, the Knicks lost three in a row at home. They lost 100-110 to bitter rivals Celtics.

Since winning the coveted O'Brien Cup last season, Kevin has been plagued by injuries. Garnett's form has plummeted. But in his prime, Pierce, Ray. Allen and Rondo still used excellent performances to let the Clover Army smoothly take away the away victory.

After the end of this game, the Knicks came up with another wave of Western three-game road schedules.

Feb. 8, against the Utah Jazz.

Delong. Williams was unwell before the game and was temporarily absent from the game, so veteran coach Sloan had to use Ronnie. Price and Blevin. Knight, the two league-level point guards, alternate plays.

And Knicks coach D'Antoni made minor adjustments to the team's starting lineup in order to win this pizza. The 2.11m Milicic appeared as a starting center for the first time this season, and the change was mainly aimed at the opponent's Turkish center who likes to shoot from the perimeter. Oku, David. Lee against Carlos. Boozer.

Thanks to Delong. Williams is out, and the Jazz's offensive strength has been greatly reduced. Especially after Milicic completely stared down on Oku, only Boozer was able to score intermittently for the home team.

Facing Price's and Knight's two nobodies, the Knicks scout showed 34 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists above the opponent's head without mercy, and led the team to a 98-90 victory to end the losing streak.

Another Chinese player, Sun Yue, also played very well in this game, although he only had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists off the bench. But the firefighters signed by the Knicks with the league's lowest annual salary will be the opponent of two important role players, C.J. Myers, Kyle. Korver is completely sealed.

After the game, in order to encourage the newcomers to the team, D'Antoni specially brought the Knicks No. 6 player to the press conference.

……

On February 10, the Knicks' game against the Golden State Warriors attracted the attention of countless fans. Why does the matchup between these two teams with poor records have such great appeal?

The passionate collision of two fast-break masters, D'Antoni and Nelson Sr., never disappoints fans. On November 29 last year, when the two teams met for the first time this season, they played a super score of 138-125.

Today's Knicks game at Oracle Arena must not be far off.

Sure enough, the two teams were on fire as soon as they came up, and the continuous fast attack made the fans at the scene extremely excited.

In the first quarter, the Warriors led by three points at 41-38.

In the second quarter, the Knicks recovered the deficit 36-33.

In the third quarter, the two sides were evenly matched at 35-35.

112 to 112! Just looking at this scoreline, many fans must have thought that this was the final result of the game. But in reality, it was just the first three quarters scored by both teams.

The starting five players who played at home all went in double figures, especially against the old boss Jamal. Crawford scored 30 points alone. 'Captain' Stephen. Jackson wasn't far behind with 25 points.

The Knicks scored more evenly on their side, and David. Li and Harrington both scored 20 points, and Chinese teenager Sun Yi had 14 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists. Every time he played against the Warriors, who were extremely bad defensively, the Knicks, who had strong offensive ability, always seemed to be unable to score high points. Actually, it has to do with D'Antoni's fast-break tactical arrangement.

As the team's number one engine to push the fast break, Sun Yi's task is more to speed up the pace of the game and choose who to pass the ball. Because in the high-speed offensive and defensive transition between the two teams, it is difficult to retreat in place every time.

After entering the most crucial fourth quarter, the two run-and-gun tactical representatives had no intention of stopping at all. It is like two knife hands who sacrifice their lives to fight, plunging the dagger in each other's hands into each other's bodies again and again, until one of them loses too much blood and dies.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, captain Richardson, who had just hit two three-pointers in a row, accidentally sprained his ankle and could not continue the game. Green replaces BigQ.

However, this hiccup did not affect the frantic offensive momentum of both teams.

The fiery hand of the two sides made the scores of the two teams impossible to stop......

When Sun Yi picked up his 10th rebound in the game and successfully got the fourth triple-double of his career. There are 9 seconds left in the game time, and the two sides are tied at 138!

D'Antoni, the mustachioed man standing on the sidelines, didn't call a timeout to set up the team's final offensive tactics like most coaches in the league. He waved his hand to the Chinese youngster, who had just controlled the ball, signaling that time was running out and he needed to quickly complete the attack through the half.

Sun Yi, who has scored 26 points, is only fifth in the scoring list in this scoring battle, with Crawford with 40 points and Stephen with 32 points. Jackson, 30 points of Ayr. Harrington, 28 points of David. Plum.

Although he didn't score much, he had a very deep tumor attribute hidden in his heart, and he would never let him trust any of his teammates at such a critical moment.

It took the Knicks' No. 8 rookie three seconds to get through the halftime to face Monta, who had beaten him in high school. Ellis, there was no rush to attack.

Bang bang bang ......!

When there were still 3 seconds left in the game, the Chinese rookie who was standing at the top of the arc and dribbling finally moved.

Ellis, who has always been highly focused on the defense, saw the opponent suddenly move two steps sideways, and after making a dribble action that changed direction under his crotch to break through, he immediately blocked the opponent's breakthrough route.

But immediately Ellis realized that he had been fooled, and the opponent took a step back, and while his hands were ready to hold the ball, his eyes were already aimed at the hoops behind him!

Not good! The Warriors' No. 8 player, who shouted in his heart, quickly stepped up and pasted it, and because he was not as tall as his opponent, Ellis jumped up directly one step away from Sun Yi, trying to interfere with the opponent's shooting with an early prediction block.

It's a pity that the Warriors' hopeful star was easily deceived by the opponent's increasingly skillful worship of Buddha......

When there was an exclamation from the Oracle Arena, Sun Yi, who had escaped from Ellis's defense, had already entered the opponent's penalty area near the free throw line. Facing Turyaf, who was two steps away, he withstood the pressure and threw the first decisive shot in his NBA career......

A standard pull-up jump shot that sent the long hair on the back of the Knicks' No. 8 rookie head fluttering in the wind. With a well-proportioned body and slender limbs, his posture in the air is very elegant......

When the chronograph card behind the basket entered the one-second countdown, the Chinese teenager who jumped high gently pulled the ball out of his hand......

may be because he was too excited, and Sun Yi's ball seemed to be a little long. Bang! …… Bang bang bang! …… Swish!

The ball smashed on the neck of the basket, because of its own rotation, came to the hoop and hit back and forth a few times, and then fell into the net a little unwillingly!

Lore! A real lore!

The Knicks rookie, who returned to the ground, kept staring nervously at his shot until the ball hit, and then cheered unpassionately.

Sun Yi, who was tearing the jersey on his chest, was soon surrounded by his teammates. David who was excited because of the team's win. Li directly put the lore hero on his shoulders......

Chinese rookie Sun Yi used his first solo kill to draw a perfect end to this heart-wrenching battle of attack.

28 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals and 1 block! What more could you ask a rookie to do?

The Knicks used his outstanding performance to silence many people who were unhappy that he got the All-Star starting spot. Competitive sports, strength is king!

Just when everyone thought the Chinese teenager was going to slow down his stunning triple-double, a day later against the Clippers, the last game played almost the same version of the show.

Because of this time and space, in order to get Chinese player Sun Yi, the Memphis Grizzlies formed a black and white double attack a year early. Los Angeles Clippers '08 2-round No. 5 rookie DeAndrew. Jordan has also been given more room to grow.

The All-Star Weekend after this game was a five-day break for many players who didn't make the cut. Therefore, the players of both sides attacked wildly as soon as they came up, trying to enter their respective vacation states with the joy of victory.

The starters for the home game against the Clippers were as follows: Byron. Davis, Eric. Gordon, Ricky. Davis, Al. Thorton, DeAndrew. Jordan replaces Chris, who is out for the season due to shoulder surgery. Carman, who became the team's starting center.

The Knicks missed the game due to the injury of Richardson, and D'Antoni, who was aiming to win three consecutive wins on the road, fielded a firepower starting lineup: Sun Yi, Chandler, Harrington, Milicic, David. Plum.

The team's most scorers all played at the same time, which also made the Chinese youngsters have a lot fewer shooting opportunities. However, as long as the team can get the final victory, sacrificing a little data for the time being is not a problem for Sun Yi.

In the first quarter, Milicic beat Eyre, who was only 2.04 meters tall. Thornton, who scored 14 points alone, helped his team lead by six points at 34-28.

In the second quarter, the veteran Byron. Davis dished out 10 assists in the first quarter to give the Clippers a one-point lead at halftime.

60 to 59! A fairly normal score!

In the third quarter, the two sides fought to a 27-all draw!

In the fourth quarter, with three seconds left in the game, the Knicks, who were playing on the road, trailed by three points at 110-113.

This time, D'Antoni quickly called a timeout because time was limited and his team had to play a successful three-point play to salvage the defeat.

When Sun Yi perfectly combined the off-ball running skills he honed in college with the off-ball screens of his teammates, his Eric was the one who was on the fence. Gordon has been overwhelmed by his opponents.

Swish! After a precise catch-and-shoot three-point shot. The two teams with a draw of 113 went into extra time.

The Clippers were leveled by the opponent in the last minute and dragged into overtime with obvious low morale. On the contrary, the Knicks, who are playing away, are getting braver and braver.

When Sun Yi delivered a wonderful empty pass for Milicic, the Chinese teenager won two consecutive triple-doubles! In the end, the visiting team, which had a stronger desire to win, defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 128-123 and won three consecutive away games!

Chinese teenager Sun Yi, who scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the whole game, once again proved that he deserved to start the All-Star Game for the first time in his career! (To be continued.) )
