Since Anthony and Billups joined the Knicks, the New York team's results have really improved somewhat.

So far, Anthony has played 10 games for the New York Knicks, with the Knicks winning six of them. Considering that Anthony and the team still need a run-in process, such a result is actually not bad.

The New Yorkers even believe that as long as they don't run into the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, they are sure of any opponent, including the Celtics and Bulls.

Indiana Pacers? The young spoiler was out of the Knicks' minds from the start.

The Knicks have Anthony, Stoudemire and Billups, and in an age when superstars all like to play on the same team, what do Indianans fight them for?

So for this regular season, Anthony and the rest of the New York fans are full of confidence. Those young fanatics are bound to give the Knicks a precious victory at Madison Square Garden!

"Granger has a very bad flu, and if you don't want him to spray all the snot and saliva in the face, it's best to give him a truce."

On the evening of March 12, the Pacers had just arrived in New York. Glenger's dizziness, sneezing, runny nose and other symptoms seriously affected his sleep, so he knocked on the team doctor's door in the middle of the night.

So on the day of the game, that is, early in the morning of the 13th, Henson was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and the team doctor told him the news about Granger.

Americans seem to treat the flu much more exaggerated than Chinese, but in reality it is not a trivial matter.

Severe flu is not just about sneezing and a runny nose, but also about making your body weak. If a player is forced to play, it is likely to backfire.

In order to protect the player's body and the stability of the team's performance, fans often hear that such and such a player is absent from the game because of the flu.

Although Jordan's "battle of the flu" proves that even if you have the flu, you can perform well, but how many Jordans are there in this world? Examples can't be used to illustrate anything.

Upon hearing the news, Henson took a deep breath and sighed.

Against the New York Knicks, an imaginary opponent in the playoffs, Henson was going to give it his all from the start. Unexpectedly, now I have to make a star in charge.

On the other hand, on the Knicks' side, Billups happened to return from injury, which undoubtedly raised the New Yorkers' combat effectiveness to a new level.

"What a good thing to come in pairs, fuck!"

"Tomatoes? (fuck=tomato)" The team doctor looked at Henson, who was so anxious that he scolded out Chinese.

"Uh...... Nothing, tell Granger and let him take a truce. Let's go Frank, we've got to keep our hands on without a star in the house. ”

Henson drank the remaining milk in his cup in one gulp, and pulled Vogel and himself to study a countermeasure.

"Boss, I'm fine. Although my head is a little dizzy, I still have an accurate head! On the training ground, Granger looked at his shirtless and sweaty teammates and couldn't help but wrap himself in a cotton coat.

Henson looked at Granger speechlessly, could it be that I would have to ask the referee for a down jacket for you to wear when I came on the court later?

"Rest well, Daniel, I don't want you to break your body in the regular season. The playoffs are just around the corner, and we're about to face even more fierce battles. When the time comes, you will be indispensable to the team. You just take this as a rotation and save your unwillingness and strength for the playoffs. ”

Henson patted Granger on the shoulder, he really needed a win in this match. But in contrast, he needs his players to be healthy.

And Henson has long known that Granger has a serious injury risk, and if he is injured because he is forced to play with the flu, it will be more than worth the loss for the Pacers.

Seeing Henson's tough attitude, Granger had no choice but to nod, "So today, are we still playing one big or four small?" ”

"No," Henson shook his head slightly, "we're going to lead the impatient Anthony into the defensive trap step by step today." Today in New York, let's play iron-blooded defense! ”

An hour before the start of the game, news that Granger would not be able to play because of the flu had spread across the United States. During the warm-up, Granger sat on the bench in his training uniform and did not set foot on the court, proving the truth of the news.

Knicks fans cheered as the Pacers lost their star player. In the eyes of New York fans, the odds of the Pacers being able to win at Madison Square Garden are almost zero!

"Hahahaha, get off home, country bastards!"

"Are you lost in the cornfield? Hahaha! ”

"New York will win!"

Before the start of the game, Henson was on the sidelines making the final deployment. The shouting and scolding from the stands undoubtedly all got into the ears of Henson and the players.

"Just like you did against the Nuggets before, lure Anthony into choosing the wrong shot! Danny, I need you to stick to him at any cost as soon as you start! ”

Instead of starting Dunleavy, Henson chose to use Danny. Green against Anthony.

Of course, Anthony is not something that Green can take alone. Henson set a series of defensive traps for Anthony, forcing him to play the middle and forcing him to shoot under the bag.

But unlike the Nuggets, the Knicks also have a tricky "little bully" Stoudemire. Henson doesn't know if the interior combination of Horford and McRoberts can withstand the impact of Xiaosi. And this has also become the biggest X factor in this game.

"Coach D'Antoni must be very happy right now because it was almost a hand-delivered victory. The Pacers' Granger was unavailable because of the flu, while the Knicks welcomed back Billups, their main guard. We saw that Coach Henson didn't play any more big or four unders today, which means that their attacking speed will be greatly reduced. ”

On the commentary seat, Marvin. Albert's voice got the fans into the game in an instant. This legendary New York commentator has accompanied countless fans as they grow up, and his voice will accompany him even when playing NBA LIVE basketball games. So as soon as his voice comes out, everyone will immediately jump into the game.

Henson today makes Danny. Green replaced Dunleavy and replaced Granger with McRoberts. Henson was originally going to try his hand at playing the No. 4 position with George, but given the struggles of playing the No. 4 position in the preseason and summer league, Henson immediately abandoned the idea.

"Despite the loss of Granger, Coach Henson seems to be confident." After seeing Henson send the starting five Tigers, Albert's partner, Jeff, who once coached the Knicks. Van Gundy quipped.

Henson was indeed calm, and he wasn't pretending. In his opinion, the loss of Granger does not mean that the team also loses this game. Is Granger the star of the Pacers? Yes in the dressing room, but not necessarily on the pitch.

The Pacers don't have absolute superstars, so they've been playing team basketball all the time. As a result, Granger isn't the absolute offensive core, and the Pacers aren't without him without him.

His absence was a real blow to the Pacers, but it wasn't fatal.

So while the arrogant New Yorkers think they've won, Henson thinks about how to get out of New York with his defense.

Once the game began, the athletic Stoudemire fought for the Knicks to get the ball first. The cheers in Madison Square Garden poured into the stadium, and New Yorkers couldn't wait to see a bloody massacre.

Anthony is very active, and although he has changed from the "little melon" of the Nuggets to the "social melon" of New York, he still does not forget the night when the Nuggets were massacred.

Anthony is a good man, and he can't forget the humiliation that Henson and the Pacers used to humiliate him.

So, Anthony sat in the waist position, leaned on Green, and opened his hand to ask Billups for the ball!

Sitting in the waist position instead of waiting for an opportunity from beyond the three-point line is the biggest change since Anthony arrived in New York.

He started trying to score with his back instead of catching the ball and shooting three-pointers.

Anthony received the basketball with his back to him, and at this time, the rest of the Pacers did not dare to wrap it up. If Anthony goes to the pack when he has his back, then he will have a lot of room to handle the ball.

The three-point shots of the Knicks' two guards, Billups and Fields, were not bluffing.

Anthony started dribbling, pushing, and crushing Green with his own back. Despite his tough style, Green was pushed back a few steps.

Anthony then turned around and made a step-back jumper to dodge Green's interference with his height. This turnaround jumper accurately went into the net, and the cheers in Madison Square Garden instantly doubled!

"Cameron. Anthony is very active, and after losing to the Mavericks by 18 points in their last game, the Knicks desperately need a win to boost morale. And before the game started, Anthony also made it clear that he would win this game. The opening goal was Anthony to Henson. Coach Joe's response! Van Gundy shook his head, Anthony's top-notch offensive talent is really mouth-watering.

When Anthony stepped back, he shook his finger slightly at Henson, who was on the bench.

The new king of New York doesn't plan to let the Pacers make a mistake on his new turf.
