Madison Square Garden, nice place.

Fans only look at the performance, a superstar, playing here, playing in other cities, playing at the same level, getting exposure, popularity, fame, is not a concept at all.

Not even Los Angeles can compare to this place.

But here is also the most cruel, even Willis Reid and Patrick Ewing, at the end of their careers, they will inevitably be booed.

At 8 p.m., the game began.

Howard won the jump ball from Yi Jianlian's head, Dragic received the ball and advanced, and the Knicks attacked first!

Every time he met Sun Ce, Dragic worked very hard.

Although no one has said anything about it now, it will always be a psychological shadow for Dragic - the Suns gave up on the lord and chose a poor man's version of Nash.

After Sun Ce's rookie year came out, Dragic has been ridiculed, he didn't do anything, and he encountered such public opinion violence.

However, when the violence of public opinion passed, Dragic felt even more aggrieved, because no one even mentioned the matter later, and no one discussed him and Sun Ce together.

His sense of humiliation is worse than the violence of public opinion!

The Knicks, for their part, fielded a starting lineup of Dragic, Shambaught, Pierce, Kenyon Martin and Howard.

On the Grizzlies' side, Stoudemire was deliberately put in the starting position tonight to partner with Yi Jianlian, increasing the height of the inside line, and the outside line is still Sun Ce with double 3D.

Defense is not easy to defend, Stoudemire and Yi Jianlian retreated immediately after losing the jump ball, received the three-second zone, don't care about anything else, just don't let Howard easily catch the ball and dunk, even if it is knocked away, it doesn't matter, just give a little pressure.

Dragic advanced to the frontcourt and met Paul George, the Grizzlies' strongest overall defense.

No matter who the defender is, Dragic has a way to deal with it - it's called a pick-and-roll!

Howard is on the inside, and has proven that no matter who he is paired with, he has no ability to block and pick-and-roll, so Kenyon Martin pulls out to block Dragic.

Dragic's blocking and dismantling is not lost to Sun Ce, as a score-based point guard, while averaging 21 points per game, he has a 50 percent shooting rate, a 41 percent shooting rate, a 69 percent layup shooting rate, and a 40.3 percent three-point shooting rate.

Sun Ce started to move when Kenyon Martin moved, and was the first to make up for Dragic, who broke through on the pick-and-roll.

Dragic was surprised that the opponent's two inside lines were stunned, but the work in his hands did not stop, and he quickly distributed to the side, Pierce received the ball, Klay Thompson's rotation defense was very fast, but Pierce was not in a hurry, and it was not too slow, when Klay Thompson pounced, Pierce just finished shooting and shot at Klay Thompson's head......

Hit!

While his points per game average isn't as high as last season's 18.6 points per game, a drop of three points, Pierce's shooting percentage has improved this season as minutes played have dropped from 33 minutes per game last season to 28 minutes per game.

But if you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it, this lineup, there is such a huge threat as Howard under the opponent's basket, Howard is just not as good as it was back then, and he is still stronger than 90% of the league's centers, and it is normal for their Grizzlies to be unable to defend themselves, and the opponent can't shoot it.

After Yi Jianlian fell from the basket, he immediately caught the ball and exited the bottom line to serve directly!

Sun Ce received the ball and started a fast attack, and Stoudemire, Klay Thompson, and Paul George have begun to go fast!

Sun Ce and Double 3D work together tacitly, the two know very well how to create scoring opportunities for themselves, and Stoudemire may be the most run-and-shoot power forward in NBA history! It was his first start for the Grizzlies, but he was able to play well with the double 3-and-D movement and Sun Ce's counterattack with the ball.

The Knicks knew that Sun Ce was going to score, Sun Ce had already said before the game that he was going to score 62 points, and the two fast players of Shambaught and Dragic chased after Sun Ce, and Howard withdrew to guard the basket to prevent Sun Ce from rushing in.

When Sun Ce was close to the three-point line, he saw that Paul George had a chance to cut in and run out to catch the ball and shoot, because it was Kenyon Martin who was chasing him, and seeing that he was surrounded by Dragic and Shambaught, he was ready to pass one to Paul George first.

However, Stoudemire just blocked the right side of the Knicks' two defenders, and the two were in a straight line, Sun Ce seized the opportunity, pulled the ball to the right back with his left hand, and borrowed Stoudemire to block Shambaught and break through from the right side!

Dragic was blocked by Shambaught and Stoudemire, but he had good defensive awareness and blocked from the line, but the fluency of Sun Ce's dribble behind his back and the acceleration of the connection after the dribble behind him were faster than Dragic expected!

Sun Ce erupted and accelerated, and suddenly reached the position of one step outside the free throw line, Pierce didn't care about Yi Jianlian, who was following up, blocked in front of Sun Ce, and gave Sun Ce physical contact.

However, at this time, Sun Ce has probably the best waist and abdomen strength and core strength in the history of the alliance!

After making contact with Pierce, Sun Ce pulled up directly, maintained stability, and made a long two-point jumper one step outside the free throw line......

Pierce's assistance defense and Sun Ce's death did not pass, giving Shambaught and Dragic a chance to come up, but the two people who surrounded them could only watch Sun Ce who jumped up to make a move, even if they jumped up, they couldn't interfere!

Pierce watched Sun Ce force up and jump after confronting him, and he was still able to maintain such a shooting stability, which was very unexpected!

And Sun Ce made a resolute shot, which was in line with the muscle memory bonus of Kobe Bryant, who he temporarily had, and hit two points long!

From the player's point of view, the combination of Dragic and Shambaugh did not have any effect, and they also surrounded to watch the excitement, but the fans' senses were different!

What the fans saw was that Sun Ce didn't pass the ball to death, and hit a three-hit shot!

On Sun Ce's side, when the ball was thrown, the system prompt came.

"Stubborn level 5 trigger, every time the host throws a goal, the next round of attack, if there is a ball in hand, you must choose to single."

This painful skill is here again, but Sun Ce doesn't feel anything when he sees it now, he is going to vote tonight!

After landing, Sun Ce squeezed away the two people behind him and retreated towards the backcourt.

Dragic looked at Sun Ce's exaggerated size and skills that were not lost to him...... I think of the college student who went to the Suns to participate in the "Love Event" more than four years ago, the college student who was thinner than him, had almost no skills, and only had two advantages: speed and dribbling......

Dragic suddenly had an idea – did I witness the first picture of a legend setting sail?

The thought was fleeting, and Dragic received a serve to advance.

Compared with Dragic and Shambaugh, who were a little frustrated with the defense just now, Pierce, Kenyon Martin, and Howard, all three of whom have played in the Finals and seen a lot of wind and waves, Sun Ce's goal did not affect them.

The Knicks are not bad this season, with a 15-10 start, and there are some chances to hit the fourth or fifth place in the West.

Pierce made a mid-pass pass to Howard and pulled the space under the basket to give an assist to the cutting Kenyon Martin, who scored two points on a flying dunk.

Kenyon Martin has recovered well this year, averaging 7.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, although the defense of this interior thug has been played, but the ability to run and jump is still there, Sun Ce worked hard to get in, or a beat slower.

This made Sun Ce's desire to score even hungrier!

"When the Serial Killer is triggered at level 5, the host will enter an extreme obsession mode with winning, greatly increasing the motivation at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and reducing the time required for physical buffering between each round."

Sun Ce clearly felt that he wanted to score more and wanted to defend desperately, but ...... Although he saw the system prompt, he did not refuse the idea to appear.

Stubbornness + Serial Killer = No. 24!

What does it mean for No. 24 to stubbornly enter a desperate obsession at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends?

This time the fast break did not start, and although the interior combination of Howard and Kenyon Martin on the other side was not as good as it was back then, the awareness of retreat was still very good.

After Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt, he encountered Shambaugh's sticky defense, and would rather give Sun Ce a chance to break through than give Sun Ce the space to block and dismantle like in the previous round.

The Knicks players are still very confident in Howard's defense under the basket, and although Howard's rim protection has not been as good this season, the players still have some stereotypes, including teammates.

Such an obvious defensive tendency, of course Sun Ce has to take advantage of it, but it is not what Shambaugh thinks, what Shambaud wants is that Sun Ce will break through after pulling a step sideways, so that the inside line will have time to move in advance, Shambaugh is almost 10 cm shorter than Sun Ce, weighing 100 kilograms, and he is a defensive defender known for confrontation, and he is very confident in his own strength, even if Sun Ce is so big.

However, Sun Ce did not pull away, but took a step towards the right, and Shambaugh wanted to go up to limit Sun Ce's speed, but he didn't do it!

Sun Ce passed Shambaught in two steps and went straight to the basket along the right sideline of the three-second zone!

Howard was startled and hurriedly moved over, Sun Ce had already rushed to the outside of the reasonable collision area and jumped in one step!

Undeterred, Howard pounced to block it......

From Sun Ce's quick shot into the basket to Sun Ce's quick jump jump, in fact, Sun Ce's every action is just a beat faster than the Knicks players expected, just like that......

But in the game, even if it is a few tenths of a second of a prediction error, it is difficult to prevent it, because the action in the NBA game is originally a matter of lightning and fire.

Sun Ce's bullet speed is also faster than Howard imagined!

When Howard was about to jump, Sun Ce had already jumped up, and the jump height was higher than Howard's estimate......

"Bang"

With the wail of the basket, the fans on the scene exploded!

Even the fans who didn't want to cheer for Sun Ce were stimulated by this scene and jumped up and cheered wildly!

Sun Ce almost rode on Howard's shoulder and smashed the ball into the basket!

Howard's pre-jump action seems to be possessed and looking for a ride!

After landing, Sun Ce didn't hear the whistle, so he immediately retreated and didn't care about Howard, who was detained.

Withheld again!

Howard's mentality collapsed directly, and there is no such process as a good mentality - an unbalanced mentality - a mentality that is about to collapse - a mentality explodes.

And on the Knicks' side, they found that Sun Ce was really playing!

Even if Sun Ce did something before the game, the Knicks players didn't think Sun Ce could really score 62 points.

60+ scores, how can you say that you can take it?

But looking at Sun Ce's posture, this guy is definitely playing for real!

There are more bragging players, but in view of Sun Ce's past, the Knicks feel that this guy can do it no matter what he brags about...... Or rather, this guy won't brag about his lack of confidence!

Dragic suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, advanced to the front court, and tried to adjust his mentality, he was about to organize the offense, but he actually saw Howard stuck under the basket with Stoudemire asking for the ball, and Yi Jianlian next to him was ready to attack at any time!

For the Knicks' offense, this was an unexpected situation.

Howard, who played for the Knicks this season, suffered a blow because he wanted to join the Warriors in the summer.

Last season with the 76ers, Howard still had the pride of being a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and the conceit of two Finals trips, but the team chose to keep Pau Gasol instead of him, which was another blow.

After the double blow, Howard seemed to mature overnight, and after coming to the Knicks, he rarely asked for the ball alone, and occasionally, it was also needed by the team.

So Howard's offensive performance this season has improved instead of falling, playing his best scoring performance since the 10-11 season.

In fact, he just doesn't force low-post singles, but plays well to cut into eating cakes, rushing offensive rebounds, and making free throws, and he averages 20+ per game.

Howard didn't cause infighting, which was a pleasant surprise for the Knicks players.

But this time, after meeting Sun Ce, Howard was ignited again!

Given that Howard usually works hard and is very positive, Dragic did not refuse Howard to ask for the ball this time, this is the best player on the team, and future games will depend on his interior play.

Howard receives the ball and slams Stoudemire away!

Although Howard's explosiveness is not as good as back then, but the comparison is even worse than that of Stoudemire, there is still a huge advantage, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Yi Jianlian is too late to attack.

Howard can't compare to himself back then, no matter what, he is also a top interior scorer who can average 20+ per game purely by physical fitness.

But the other guy desperately took it in when Howard received the ball and made a turn!

When Howard jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket, a palm with a strap slapped the ball with precision!

The ball was fanned to the rebound, Yi Jianlian quickly grabbed the ball, just landed, was about to pass the ball, and was directly snatched away!

Yi Jianlian, who was startled, looked at the person who snatched the ball away and turned around and rushed out, Nima - it was actually Sun Ce!

Sun Ce's behavior, even the Knicks didn't react, but fortunately, Shambaugh reacted quickly and posted it.

Sun Ce rushed all the way to the top arc, this time Shambaugh's actions were savage, Sun Ce couldn't continue to rush in, Dragic and Howard, who was caught up by the back of the hat, had already rushed over, Sun Ce quickly jumped out...... When I shot, I felt that I couldn't get in, and after I landed, I jumped straight inside, flew up, and pressed back the ball that bounced off the basket.

Seeing that Sun Ce was so big, he actually made such a move and scored in such a way, even Howard, who chased it back, was stunned.

And Shambaugh, who defended Sun Ce alone, can no longer describe his current mood in words.

What kind of monster is this?

On Sun Ce's side, he made a steal and counterattacked...... Anyway, it's a steal and counterattack, but he is very calm in his heart and retreats quickly.

"Cold-Blooded Killer triggers at level 5, the host will be in a state of high concentration during the match......"

This hidden skill, Sun Ce has triggered it before, although Kobe Bryant usually looks irritable, he is actually a very calm player.

In addition to this, there is also a skill trigger that makes Sun Ce's desire to shoot even hungrier!

To Sun Ce's surprise, he thought that he had struck the iron, and the consecutive hits that had accumulated to trigger Kobe Bryant's time were broken and had to be repeated.

However, it seems that the trigger mechanism is not to throw in three consecutive rounds, but to throw in three consecutive turns!

Due to the few opportunities for this skill to be used, it was only a few times that Sun Ce found out that the trigger mechanism was like this.

"Because the host scored three goals in a row, Kobe Bryant's time level 5 triggered, the host's next three shots, will enter a hot state, if it is not blocked, it will greatly reduce the impact of shooting caused by actions such as leaning back and dry pulling......"

This is the first time that Sun Ce has used the full-level Kobe time, which has one more effect than level 3 and level 4 to reduce shooting interference!

Back in the backcourt, Sun Ce saw Yi Jianlian roll his eyes.

Although the teammates were very excited about Sun Ce's self-throwing and self-grabbing counterattack just now, Sun Ce didn't want to wait for a second, and even grabbed the ball in the hands of his teammates, and his teammates were speechless.

It's time for the Knicks offense again.

Sun Ce's block + counterattack just now threw himself and grabbed himself, but it made Howard's side calm down, and instead of continuing to ask for the ball, he let Dragic organize the offense well.

Dragic didn't know whether to be happy or scolded, that time, if it wasn't for Howard's singles, how could the opponent hit such a goal?

No, Shambaugh received a three-pointer in the next open position, almost missed three, and only rubbed to the basket.

Fortunately, Howard knew that the opponent's rebounding strategy was to get two people in the position, and Sun Ce grabbed it.

Without taking the rebounding spot, Howard stepped back directly, and the Knicks didn't let the Grizzlies fight back.

Sun Ce grabbed the rebound and passed it to Paul George, Paul George advanced to the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian borrowed Stoudemire to block and dismantle it without the ball, and Paul George immediately passed over.

However, what Paul George expected was that Sun Ce would definitely be flanked, and Stoudemire took the opportunity to cut in, and Sun Ce could make a second pass.

This is a qualified playmaker's analysis of his own offense and the opposition's defense.

But this kind of analysis can't be used on Xiaobawang.

Paul George watched Sun Ce, who was one meter away from the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right, jumped under the attack of Howard and Shambaugh, tilted his body and forced a shot......

Entered!

"That's the assist?"

Rao is the fourth year that Paul George and Sun Ce have partnered, and I still feel unacceptable!
