Chapter 614: The Confidence of the New York Team Fans
"Yi is getting into playoff form, and there's no doubt he's getting better and better!"
"The New York team is very strong at the moment, but only Yi's ability is strong enough to be the real king."
"This team is still the champion, in my opinion, this team will definitely be the champion, they haven't used their full strength yet!"
……
The New York team has made all pundits aware of the fact that this team still has the ability to win the championship, and they are still the most likely team to win.
Of course, this problem can be seen in the results of the regular season.
It's just that sometimes being too strong can be left out of the discussion, and even though everyone knows that this team is already strong, they still want to discuss the possibility of other teams winning the championship.
New York's big win over the Pacers not only declared that they are still the strongest, but also reminded others that this team is far better than they thought.
The fact that other teams are still discussing the possibility of winning at such times can only show one thing, that is, the understanding of this team is not deep enough.
What's more, they realized a very serious problem, that is, the core of this terrible team has not yet played his true strength, and playing the Pacers, he suddenly took over the game in the fourth quarter and showed everyone how vulnerable the Pacers' defense is in front of this guy.
In other words, this Knicks can get stronger!
This is undoubtedly surprising!
With such a strong New York team, how can it become stronger, how should other teams live?
That's why some people think it's disrespectful to the New York team to still talk about the championship!
In a word, other teams are very strong, but the championship is the Knicks!
……
After a day's rest, the Knicks and Pacers met again in the presence of fanatical New York fans at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks had a strong start to the game, and by the end of the first quarter, the team had extended their lead to more than seven points.
The trailing Pacers didn't get discouraged in the second quarter and stubbornly rallied back some points, and Paul George played very well during that time.
As the league's future super small forward, Paul George has begun to show his brilliance at this time.
After Granger was reimbursed for the season, he became the team's best core player, and as you can imagine, the post-Danny Granger era has arrived!
And the player who drove this historical process is naturally Paul George, just imagine, a super rookie full of energy and talent, and a former All-Star who has been plagued by injuries, how to choose does not need to think too much about it.
Don't talk about management, just ordinary fans know how to choose.
Paul George is indeed talented, when this guy just entered the league, judging from the Pacers' use of him, he should have planned to develop into a wing defensive player, but as a result, Paul George practiced some secondary offensive skills in the first half of this season, which gave him a chance to perform on the offensive end of the Pacers, and after Granger's injury, he practiced his ball-handling offensive skills, this guy's progress is staggering, And the rate of progress is unthinkable, at least one season ago, no one would have thought that he would be the one to carry the flag after Granger for the Pacers.
Paul George's play allowed the Pacers to regain a little initiative, but D'Antoni swapped Yi Jianlian back on the court when the New York team's lead was only 3 points left, and the Knicks fans, who were still dull off the court, let out a huge cheer at this time, and they greeted the Knicks' king with cheers.
Yi Jianlian did not use passing or defense to drive the team after he came on the field, and he mainly attacked by himself from the first goal.
The Pacers' defense is very strong, but for Yi Jianlian, it is still a bit insufficient!
At halftime, they extended the score to more than 10 points.
Once again, New York extended the score to double digits, which was a normal rhythm for them and a death rhythm for the Pacers.
They know that the pace of the game will be completely biased towards the New York team, and after the New York Knicks have achieved enough leads, they will not continue to chase after the victory and pursue a higher scoring difference, but they will play steadily, slowly wear down the opponent's patience, and give the fatal blow when the time is right.
That's what makes this New York team really scary.
"Guys, we're not here to throw in the towel, believe me, we still have a chance to win, but until then, we have to believe that we have the determination to beat the Knicks, it's just about 10 points behind, we've had worse situations than this, but we've fought for the win and now it's this opportunity, guys, we haven't lost yet!"
Paul George motivates his team-mates at half-time.
Judging by the looks on the rest of the Pacers' players, it was clear that they had taken these words of encouragement to heart.
In the second half, they played surprisingly tenacious, the New York team played steadily, they also fought very hard, and the whole team did not let the Knicks seize the opportunity to further widen the difference.
After the whole game, the New York team still only led the team by about 10 points.
This is something that the fans at the scene did not expect!
After all, at halftime, the Pacers fans left the court with a frustrated and lost expression, it is said that this mentality to play the third quarter, less than 5 minutes should be broken by the New York team, why this team stabilized!
This is something that many fans didn't expect!
However, the surprise of the fans of the New York Knicks is nothing more, although the Pacers did not collapse, but it is also true that they did not close the score, they are still the side behind, and this alone is enough for the fans of the New York team!
After all, even if the Pacers hold on! But the Knicks are still the Knicks, they are not messed up, they are still playing very calmly, and this composure can definitely ensure that this team finds an opportunity, and then kills with one blow!
New York fans are now confident in the Knicks!
They believe that nothing can stop the New York Knicks!
