Chapter 421: Defeat 76 people

In the game with the Nets, Li Wei scored 12 points, 3 assists and 3 steals.

In general, Marbury's defense of Li Wei was relatively successful, and in this New York derby, Lao Ma personally scored 39 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, which was quite eye-catching.

However, the Nets still lost, and in the last few rounds, several of the Knicks' tactics were played, and the Nets were defended, and the score was fixed at 108:96.

After the game, in order to attract the attention of fans, the media used Li Wei's several steals of Marbury as a gimmick and reported it hype. Poor Marbury obviously scored the highest score of the two teams, but not only did he have to bear the pot of losing, but he was also said by the media to be unstable in ball control, and even Li Wei couldn't pass it.

On December 5, the Knicks sat at home and faced the Denver Nuggets from afar back-to-back. Surprisingly, the Knicks, who are at the top of the league, actually lost to the underdog Nuggets!

This is the NBA, where the unexpected happens every day!

'95 star Antonio McDyce scored 35 points, beating Garnett, who was on the All-Star team with him last season, while Van Exel scored 22 points like a convulsion, and Billups also started the game, scoring six points on 1-of-5 shooting and 3-of-4 free throws.

On the Knicks' side, Garnett, Nowitzki and others are particularly iron, only Alan Houston is slightly accurate, but he only shot 7 of 20 and scored a team-high 15 points.

Li Wei played off the bench for a while and scored 12 points, which was the second highest on the team, and the loss had nothing to do with his performance on the court, and he even helped the team recover two points after he played. But after the game, the media deliberately intercepted a few shots of his defensive leakage, as if they wanted to put the responsibility for the loss on his wayward play.

This is the media, what they want is always to attract attention and attract ratings, the Knicks win, no matter how bad Li Wei plays, they will also advocate that Li Wei beat the opponent, and as soon as the Knicks lose, they feel that it will be more attractive to put the responsibility on Li Wei to play, so Li Wei will take the blame!

Despite the loss, the Knicks still have a 16-3 record and continue to lead the league, and the second place is the Trail Blazers with 15 wins and 4 losses.

On December 7, the Knicks sat on the home court and defeated the Golden State Warriors, and those who were on the Rails the day before yesterday were all on the spot today. Nowitzki came off the bench and scored 26 points, beating Antoine Jamison, the No. 4 pick of the same year and the cornerstone of the Warriors' team, who scored 25 points.

On December 10, the Knicks continued to sit at home against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Before the game, the Knicks arranged another championship ring awarding ceremony, this time featuring Bruce Bowen.

"Husband, who will preside over today's ceremony?" Xia Cuirong asked.

When Big Bo took the ring, it was Houston who presided over it, and when Charlie Ward took the ring, it was Garnett who presided over it, and Li Wei wanted to say that Nash would host it today, but when the words came to his lips, he felt a little inappropriate.

Compared with Houston and Garnett, Nash's weight is a little light, and Bowen's last season with the Knicks was already unsatisfactory, and letting Nash preside over the championship ring award may make Bowen feel cold.

"That's it, I'll preside, I'll be idle anyway!"

As a result, Li Wei presided over Bowen's championship ring awarding ceremony.

When presiding over the ceremony, there is always something to say, Bowen had a terrible performance on the court last season, except for the foul on Duncan in the Finals, he really didn't contribute much, but the foul in the Finals should not be mentioned!

Li Wei had no choice but to tell some small stories about Bowen's hard training, and said: "I have a bad temper and have strict requirements for players, but Bowen has always been diligent and earnestly implements all my arrangements, when I was in the Knicks, I didn't praise him, but I want to say now, Bruce, you have always been an extremely good player!" ”

"Thank you! Thank you! Bowen listened to Li Wei's words, and then took the Knicks' championship ring, and couldn't cry!

Li Wei didn't expect Bowen to be so excited, so after the ceremony, he encouraged him again. Anyway, there is such a thing as chicken soup for the soul, it doesn't cost money to stew more, and he is used to stewing chicken soup for the players.

In this game, the 76ers were still very disadvantaged, because their superstar Allen Iverson was out due to injury, and Larry Brown had to put Aaron McGee in the starting lineup. Also because of the lack of personnel in the team, Bowen was given five minutes of playing time, but as soon as he found his form, he was replaced.

Although Brown's mind is stubborn, his coaching skills are nothing to say, and the 76ers, who lack Iverson, are surprisingly tenacious. In the final moments, George Lynch scored a stunner to walk away from Madison Garden!

Losing at home, Li Wei's brows furrowed, and Larry Brown was smiling.

Without Iverson, he still beat New York and beat the Knicks!

What if the Knicks won the championship last season?

If they meet again in the playoffs this season, he is confident that the Knicks will not be able to eat and go around!

However, the Knicks' record has changed to 17-4 and still leads the league, as the second-place Trail Blazers lost to the Heat the day before yesterday with a 16-5 record.

As for the East, the Heat are second in the division at 15-5, while the Pacers, Hornets and Raptors are all tied for third place with 12 wins and 7 losses.

Needless to say, the Heat and the Pacers have always been the top teams in the East, and the Hornets and Raptors are also so good, which immediately sparked a rush of media coverage!

In fact, in the second half of last year, these two teams played a surprising performance, and the Hornets ended up in 9th place in the East with a 26-24 record, only one less win than the championship Knicks.

Last season, the Knicks were 27-23, just one more than the Hornets, and entered the playoffs in eighth place, but won the championship, and their magical journey made many people overlook the equally amazing Hornets!

At that time, the Raptors were slightly worse than the Hornets, but not by much, and their final ranking was 10th in the East!

The Hornets' record will get better because they traded Glen Rice, who has recovered from injury, to Eddie Jones, who gave Kobe Bryant a place. Rice didn't have a shot after arriving at the Lakers, and the data plummeted, and Eddie Jones came to the Hornets only to find that no one on the team could score, so he became more and more courageous.

This season, Eddie Jones, an All-Star player, is still doing well and is even more popular!

As for the Raptors, that's even more amazing, last year's rookie of the year, Vince Carter, is more adaptable to the league this season, and his skills are becoming more and more proficient, plus Oakley and other defensive giants complement each other, winning is no longer a problem for them!

Compared with Eddie Jones, Carter also has a unique feature that attracts popularity, that is, his dunks are extraordinarily wonderful!

Since the beginning of the season, Carter has been scoring 5 and 10 goals almost every week, and his flying scoring method has shattered the eyeballs!

"This young man is amazing, he is the real Jordan successor!"

Jordan has retired, but the media still talks about him every day.

When Jordan retired for the first time in 93, the media gave a successor to Hardaway, later Hill, and even Starkerhouse, who was also born in North Carolina and was 1.98 meters, but now, it is no longer eye-catching to report those people, so they have taken a fancy to Carter!

"Vince Carter is bound to be a great player like Jordan, if not greater!"
