Chapter 282: Data Deceives

As a 03 super platinum generation tanhua show, Anthony has a kaleidoscope of all-round offensive methods, and his strength on the court is undoubted.

But as for whether he is a qualified team leader, I am afraid that not only Knicks fans today, but the vast majority of fans will have a negative attitude.

Smiling is indeed a good habit, and Warcraft Howard loves to smile very much, even if this habit has been questioned, even by his teammates.

However, if you choose a core leader of an NBA team, I am afraid that all team managers will choose Kobe Bryant, a cold-blooded player who seems to exude murderous aura all the time and has a paranoid desire for victory.

Winning and losing is a necessary quality for NBA players, especially the cornerstone of the team, and the arena is a place that needs to be competitive.

Nothing in this world can stop a person with the right attitude from accomplishing his goal, and a person with the wrong attitude is hopeless.

Merorrie must be familiar with this phrase by now, because it's the Bucks' locker room motto.

Anthony's smile on the court, in the eyes of the Zen master watching the game, is undoubtedly hurting this team, and Anthony's problem is not that his strength has declined, he still has a strong fighting ability, the problem is his attitude.

Championships are not earned by smiling on the field, but by hard work year after year.

Fortunately, the Knicks, a team that obviously has big-name stars and a good lineup, but can't play results, finally saw a ray of light after struggling for a long time.

After Chen arrived, Barnes led the second team on the field as the core of the team, and he was naturally the team's first point of attack.

Physically, Barnes had no advantage over Anthony, but he had already scored two goals in quick succession under Anthony's defence, although Anthony had also returned the favor with a stoppage in front of him.

The Mavericks attacked again, and Barria didn't hesitate to give the ball to Barnes, who scored two goals in a row.

Barnes received the ball in the frame, faced Anthony's defense, and after two pompous tentative steps, he did not choose to continue to dry the shot, but directly shook it and broke through.

Barnes's speed is not fast enough, whether it is the speed of starting or the speed of holding the ball, his breakthrough success rate has never been high, and many times he is forced to stop by defenders, but in the face of Anthony, Barnes completed the breakthrough very smoothly, and jumped directly to the basket with both feet.

Noah, who has not fully recovered from injury, has long since lost the ability to move as the best defensive player, and seeing that Barnes was about to dunk this time, a big white hand suddenly appeared and pressed on the basketball that Barnes was about to stuff into the basket.

After the baptism of the rookie season, Porzingis is still a young face, but at this moment, the face that is even a little delicate for a man does reveal a ruthlessness, and he used his big hand to directly hold the basketball in Barnes's hand into his arms.

Relentless grabbing!

He snatched the basketball straight from Barnes!

The Knicks' home crowd immediately perked up and let out a deafening roar.

Wearing black sunglasses and a baseball cap, the big director Spike Lee, who was as thin as a dwarf, jumped up directly from his seat, laughing and applauding!

Even Merori waved her jade arm for Porzingis! Although this is a game between the Mavericks and the Knicks, and although Chen Zhi is a core player of the Mavericks, Melory is still extremely supportive of the Knicks.

Sweat was already covered with Porzingis's fair and delicate face, and Porzingis, who successfully took off his hat and disrupted the Mavericks' offense, did not pass the basketball in his hand to the guard.

He stepped out of his long legs in the true sense of the word, and as if he wasn't tired at all, he rushed towards the Mavericks' position.

It's hard to imagine that a 221 cm big man would have this kind of running speed, especially the speed of advancing with the ball, think about the 226 cm big Yao, that running speed is simply tearful.

The big man usually has a slower cadence, but he doesn't have enough pace to make up for it, and Porzingis takes more than two steps from Barria who is running flanked him trying to pull the ball.

His long legs, which seem to be slow and fast, and the small short legs that fly like fan leaves in the mountains of Puerto Rico appear in the camera at the same time, and the picture is so beautiful.

The tall young man who had just completed the block on Barnes' dunk on the defensive end, and his kung fu with the ball in one hand was obviously extremely superb, and he didn't drop the ball under Barria's successive interferences, and after reaching the Mavericks' basket, he soared directly into the air and ended the round with a crisp gliding slam dunk.

Barria has been following Porzingis, but he didn't foul in the end, first, he didn't want to hurt Porzingis, who was already jumping, after all, the Mavericks still have a ten-point advantage, and second, he fouled Porzingis, and he probably had to risk two plus one.

The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how thin Porzingis is, it is also relative to the interior player, even if Barria holds the waist, he may not be able to stop the big man who has rushed up from dunking.

Porzingis undoubtedly dominated both ends of the floor in this round, and after his dunk, he clenched his right hand in front of his chest and paced back to the half.

His clenched fists were clearly full of fighting spirit and desire for victory.

Some people play for the sake of playing, while others play for the sake of winning.

Phil Jackson, who coached the Los Angeles Lakers for many years, is naturally very familiar with this phrase, which is part of the Lakers' locker room motto.

Seeing Porzingis at this moment, and then looking at Anthony, it seems to confirm this statement. These two players really don't fit together.

Porzingis doesn't know what his attitude is towards Anthony, the big brother who has been taking care of him since he joined the team, but he knows he wants to win this game and win every game he will face after every game.

It's impossible, but he'll try!

Porzingis exploded, the only shining gold in the Knicks' mud, and quickly used his performance to make the Mavericks realize that the Knicks are not a bone to gnaw on.

Barria's role in the Mavericks is to be the vanguard of the chaos, holding the ball inside and outside the opponent's defense, relying on speed to kill the Knicks' interior line, ready to finish with a backhand layup, Porzingis deftly stretched out his long arm, sent another block, and led the Knicks to counterattack.

By the time Chen came on in the second quarter, the Knicks had trailed the score to just three points, Porzingis had not been substituted, and Jeff Hornacek clearly knew that this was the only player he could really rely on.

Chen, who played again, had already sensed the Knicks' change on the sidelines, and their defense was no longer as loose as in the first quarter, at least the momentum of these bench players was brought up by Porzingis.

This kind of game can be called a game, if one side has no intention of winning, then it is still a game.

After Chen arrived on the court, even though Porzingis was still focused and persistent, the direction of the game was clearly firmly in the hands of the Mavericks again, only this time the Mavericks were extremely slow to open the difference.

Antony was finally back on the pitch shortly after, and it was only then that Porzingis was finally able to be substituted for the break.

Porzingis passed by after a high-five with Anthony, "They are strong, but we can win. ”

Although it was only for a moment, Porzingis's eyes were clearly trying to convey a message to Anthony.

However, Anthony came on the field with a smile, and he was using a smile to hide his inner turmoil.

The NBA has always been a status-oriented small river, when Porzingis first entered the league, Anthony once said, after I retire, the Knicks are Porzingis' team, which may be a compliment to the rookie, but there is no doubt that this sentence also has another meaning, and before that, the Knicks are my team, and Anthony, who has the right to veto the trade, is indeed qualified to say this.

Although he has always had a good relationship with Porzingis, the look in his eyes just now, Antony, an old-timer and the team's top player, does not like it.

Either way, Anthony is finally starting to get serious, and he wants to show his status in the team.

Jennings passed the ball to Anthony and cut to the basket, Curry Jr. was a little slower to follow, and Anthony passed back again, which was an excellent pass-cutting tactical coordination, but Anthony did not return the pass.

Half a step back with the ball, Anthony began to face Finney Smith with the ball, and after quickly changing the direction of the ball to his left hand, he turned around backwards that didn't seem to be fast, but threw the electric fan directly to his side, licking the basket and hitting it, with a very soft touch.

Jennings, who scored 55 points in a single game in his rookie season, didn't say anything, but the corners of his grin had already revealed a small dissatisfaction in his heart.

Small forward Lanstomas has performed well for the Knicks this season, shooting 44% from three-point range so far, and although he can't compare with Chen Zhi, he is definitely a trustworthy shooter.

Anthony and substitute center O'Quinn played a block, Finney Smith and Powell directly switched defenses, seeing Anthony causing a dislocation, Barnes immediately contracted quickly, and wrapped Anthony, facing Barnes who had been blocked, Anthony directly leaned back and shot confidently, and the basketball drew a perfect arc and hollowed into the basket.

Lance Thomas in the bottom corner gave Anthony a fruitless pass with continuous high-fives, and after seeing the basketball hit, although he clenched his fist hard, it seemed to be celebrating Anthony, but there was a trace of loneliness on his face, obviously he had a better chance just now.

Perhaps Anthony was not wrong in his choice, he believed in his own strength, and he hit both shots, and two different finishing methods, showing his offensive kaleidoscope strength.

However, soon the Knicks' defense began to have holes one after another, and Chen Zhi, who had just scored half a quarter, returned to the rhythm of easily receiving assists.

Jennings was slightly distracted, and was immediately cut to the three-point line by Curry Jr. A V-shaped run, cut to the three-point line to get a chance, Chen Dao, who had already shook the defense to the free throw line, immediately seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and sent the ball to Curry Jr. with a three-point net, and Chen Zhi scored an assist.

Soon there was a mistake on the defensive end of the Lance Stallmas, Barnes immediately dodged and cut into the basket, and Chen Zhi, who was holding the ball and preparing to cross the walk, suddenly threw one hand upward, and the Black Hawk immediately attacked the basket to win, and Chen Zhi assisted again.

Jennings and Lanstomas didn't deliberately let the water go, but their attention did start to wander after a long period of not touching the ball, and they just had to turn back and run on the court anyway, and soon this kind of switchback and running state spread from the offensive end to the defensive end.

By the time Porzingis came on the court at the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks had fallen behind by more than ten points again, and even had the momentum of running for twenty points.

Before the game, Merory asked Chen if he was going to score a high score at Madison Square Garden and break the scoring record in this basketball mecca, and it must be very interesting to break the record in front of former record holder Anthony.

Chen Zhi was also moved when he heard this, and breaking the scoring record here is likely to directly become the headlines of the entire NBA.

However, in the face of such a Knicks, Chen Zhi really couldn't score high, and his teammates ate so happily one by one, as if there was a scoring feast everywhere, how could Chen Zhi have the opportunity to dominate the shot.

No matter how high the score is, it is necessary to accumulate the number of shots, and if there are not enough shots, even if Chen scores such an efficient score, it is still impossible to get a 60+ high score, and the scene of breaking Anthony's record in front of Anthony will naturally not become a reality.

In the fourth quarter, Chen played 6 minutes, scored 32 points + 32 assists, and was replaced by Carlisle, and the Mavericks easily won the game.

In recent years, the NBA has become more and more respectful of data, and there are countless statistics of various kinds, and more and more statistical methods have begun to emerge and are being paid more and more attention.

Data doesn't lie, and that's what many data advocates often say.

A few years later, when some fans turned over the data records of the Mavericks and Knicks, when they marveled at Chen's miracle of 32 points and 32 points, they may also be amazed at Anthony's extraordinary strength, 30+ points, and relatively efficient.

The data itself will never lie, but the data made by people is not perfect, it is impossible to perfectly show everything that happens on the entire court, and even the same data is two results in the eyes of different people, Anthony, who is 30+ in this game and has a very high offensive efficiency, in the eyes of fans a few years later, must play better than Porzingis, who scored 26 points and had a lower shooting percentage than Anthony, but more than 20,000 spectators on the sidelines, especially Knicks president Zen Master and coach Jeff Hornacek know, Who's the guy who gave everything to the Knicks tonight! Data doesn't lie, but it does!

In addition, that's right, Chen Zhi broke the record again, and was "forced" by the Knicks to 32 assists, breaking the NBA's single-game 30-assist record for many years, and Chen Zhi has also become the second player in history to 30+30 in a single game since the data record, of course, it is also the first record of 30 points + 30 assists, and the other player who won the 30+30 record was the 31 points + 31 boards set by LeFu, and the opponent at that time was also the New York Knicks!
