Chapter 733: Overwhelming

On January 12, 07, U.S. time, at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York, the Bobcats, who were on a 33-game winning streak, played away against the Knicks.

There was really not much suspense in this game, Isaiah Thomas's team was almost declining every year, and Stephen Marbury had been completely reduced to a cancer and a black hole in the locker room.

The "strong reinforcements" introduced in the last two seasons - Eddie Curry, Jamal Crawford and other players, the data is excellent, but the Knicks just can't win, so far this season, the 12-25 Knicks are temporarily ranked second to last in the East.

Faced with this seemingly disparity of strength, the Bobcats, who have won 33 in a row, are almost certain to win their 34th game in a row, breaking the NBA's all-time winning streak.

Therefore, in New York, the experts and reporters gathered were waiting for not the Bobcats to lose in an upset, but the moment when the Bobcats broke the historical record, which was already certain and certain.

Faced with a game that was almost guaranteed to be won, Qiao Hai was more cautious.

Before the game, in the visiting locker room of the Madison Square Garden Arena, which is known as the mecca of basketball, Qiao Hai finished arranging his tactics, and then began to remind his players that they must not be underestimated: "The Knicks' strength is not bad, their record is sparse, just because they have internal problems." ”

"If there is one person or one opponent who can make them come together, then the Knicks have the ability to beat any team in the league, including us!"

'So, it's not a guaranteed win for this game, we have a certain chance of losing, and if we underestimate it, it's not even low.'

"We obviously can't afford to beat them, it's going to be a game that will make history, I don't like to share a record with other people, I like to have it to myself, and I think you shouldn't like to share it with other people."

……

In the middle private room of the Madison Square Garden Arena, the directors found James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, Robert Johnson and Michael Jordan, and David Stern, the two owners of the Bobcats except Joe, Robert Johnson and Michael Jordan, and David Stern.

New York fans immediately booed, and they always liked to express their displeasure with David Stern, and this game was no different.

Amid the boos, both teams played.

With the exception of the fans in New York, all the fans around the world are focused on the Bobcats as they are about to make history.

"The 33 consecutive wins in the 1971-1972 season, most fans have never experienced that moment, but just thinking about it, I feel that it is quite shocking to be able to win 33 consecutive games in a season!"

On the commentary bench, McBrin partnered with Marf Albert, and as the game was about to begin, he began to warm up for the game, which was temporarily rescheduled for national broadcast.

"And now, we've seen the Bobcats win 33 in a row, and now they may be on their way to their 34th winning streak, breaking a 35-year NBA record!"

The warm-up is complete and the game begins.

Qiao Hai's starting lineup also shows his importance to this game to a certain extent, point guard Chris Paul, scoring guard Michael Reed, small forward Andre Iguodala, big forward Kevin Garnett, center Kendrick Perkins, the main force is out!

On the Knicks' side, point guard Stephen Marbury, scoring guard Jamal Crawford, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward David Lee, center Eddie Curry.

Just looking at the Knicks' set of starters, Qiao Hai feels very luxurious, except for the lack of defense, this Knicks seem to have no other obvious shortcomings.

Even if the Knicks' starting five Tigers are at their peak, as Qiao Hai said, they have a chance to beat any other team in the league on offense alone, including the Bobcats!

Bobcat won the jump ball and got the opening ball.

Chris Paul started to hold the ball and pushed forward.

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai glanced at the starting lineup of the Knicks, and directly gave Paul a gesture, and poked his index finger up, Paul also understood, and made an OK gesture directly to the sidelines.

Then, when it came to the frontcourt, Chris Paul didn't wait for Garnett's high block, he directly accelerated!

In the face of the defense of his predecessor Stephen Marbury, Paul took an arrow step and killed it, but Marbury didn't follow the first step, he could only speed up his pace sideways, turn his head and follow Paul to eat ashes.

Paul directly used a quick breakthrough to tear apart the Knicks' already fragile defense, and continued to break through with his head buried in it, directly into the Knicks' restricted area.

This is the meaning of Qiao Hai's gesture in the opening game, he let Paul break through the inside, the reason is that Isaiah Thomas is too big, and the distance is not even on the inside of the frame, relying on an Eddie Curry who never defends the frame, Isaiah Thomas is obviously thinking too much.

So, on the first shot of the opening game, Paul used a quick breakthrough to rush into the Knicks' restricted area, made a layup, and easily scored 2 points.

The Knicks' offense, they also played together, Stephen Marbury found David Lee, and after a single block on the outside, Marbury rushed directly into the three-point line, followed by a pull-up jump shot.

With a bang, Marbury opened with a mediocre hand, hitting a piece first.

Inside Eddie Curry is under Perkins' card position, and he has no desire to compete for rebounds, and the rebounds are naturally easily won by the Bobcats.

Kevin Garnett grabbed the rebound, and he immediately swept his eyes to the frontcourt, and at a glance he saw Paul and Iguodala running wildly in the frontcourt.

So, he made a long pass directly and found Iguodala, who had no defender on his side.

After Iguodala received the basketball, he went straight to the push!

The Bobcats counterattacked, and in the frontcourt, Iguodala rushed into the penalty area, and with a heavy slam dunk, the Bobcats scored 2 points again, opening 4:0.

The Knicks serve in the backcourt, Stephen Marbury advances quickly, and when he gets to the frontcourt, his offensive determination is also very strong, and it can be seen that the Knicks want to win this game.

"The Knicks don't want to be the backdrop for the Bobcats' 34-game winning streak, so this game, they're going to have to fight hard!"

The desperate Knicks played very hard, but there was no discipline, and the only routine might be that Marbury broke through after the outside line was covered.

In this ball, Marbury burst again, and the Bobcats directly changed the defense and used Iguodala to defend Marbury.

Marbury's shot was not good, and he didn't rush, first passing the ball out, then running to the right side of the three-point line, and then stopped.

Then he opened his hand again to ask for the ball, but the ball was in the hands of Eddie Curry and could not come out.

Eddie Curry singled with his back, turned and broke through, hit the basket, and directly made a low-handed layup, Perkins defended very hard, and interfered with the ball solidly.

Eddie Curry's layup went wide of the basket, Chris Paul passed by the basket and grabbed the rebound, and the Bobcats pushed another wave of counterattacks.

The Knicks were too slow to react, and in the face of the Bobcats' counterattack, they only had Jamal Crawford and Stephen Marbury back in place.

With Marbury and Jamal Crawford shrinking the basket, Chris Paul received the ball, first attracted the defense, and then distributed the ball to the corner, Michael Reed made a three-point shot!

Swish!

The crisp sound of wiping the net sounded, and on the commentary seat, McBrin shouted directly: "Opportunity to counterattack, Michael Reed hit a three-point shot!" What a familiar scene, the Bobcats' counterattack can always find a chance to score three points in the bottom corner! ”

Mafu Albert, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the score: "It's 7:0, and the Bobcats are like a bamboo!" ”
