Chapter 266: It's Time to Record Again
In the second half, the Spurs still didn't play the offense familiar to the Knicks, and they put a lot of shots outside the three-point line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
To be honest, their three-point shooting percentage is still good, and if the Knicks face other teams that are good at three-point shooting, they could fall behind.
But the Spurs rely entirely on three points, which is a crooked way, and a crooked way can win against an ordinary opponent, but it is a strong opponent like the Knicks.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Spurs are playing back-to-back, and they are a little out of spirit.
Of course, the Knicks will not be merciful, and in the third quarter, they took advantage of the Spurs' problems and played a wave of 10-0 mini-climax, which suddenly extended the lead to double digits.
By the end of the quarter, Parker seemed to have woken up and began to show a lethal offense, with mid-range shooting and breakaways returning to their level.
But it was late now, and Duncan still looked half-asleep.
The Knicks held it up, winning 12 straight games with a 103-92 record.
The next day, they traveled to Houston to play back-to-back away games.
The Rockets have not made any major changes to their roster this season, but Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry and Louis Scola are more practical rookies.
However, the Rockets' current record is not good, and the reason for this is injury, and McGrady is out again.
The Knicks' lineup has an absolute advantage, but they didn't take advantage of it in the first quarter of the game, because the Rockets' bench lineup was hot.
Brooks, Scola and Bunch-Wells are all doing well.
However, when the Rockets' bench players played well, they only tied with the Knicks 27:27, which also shows that after they lost McGrady, the team's offensive power dropped a lot.
Because the opponent's power forward Hayes has little offensive power, the Knicks can also rest assured that Yao Ming is being contained.
By the second quarter, the Knicks were slowly gaining the upper hand.
They led by 5 points at halftime, but in the third quarter, Yao Ming suddenly became powerful and led the team to overtake the score for a while.
Yao Ming's height catches the ball and jumps, sometimes the pinch shot is useless.
For the Knicks, such things have been seen a lot, and they did not panic when they fell behind for the time being, but strengthened their defense according to the arrangement of the midfield.
When Yao Ming came to rest, they instantly overtook the score.
In the first half, the opponent scored a lot of points on the bench, and there were reasons why I didn't know enough about the first encounter, and after the second half was targeted, it was impossible for the Rockets' bench to break out again.
When Yao Ming came on the court again, the Knicks' defense had left him without many opportunities to shoot, and their outside line used Yao Ming's containment to shoot a few three-pointers, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
They now have few players who can create scoring opportunities except for Yao Ming, and they are less aggressive than the Knicks, who are dangerous on every offense.
Although Yao Ming tried hard to lead the team to victory, the Knicks always maintained the advantage in the fourth quarter, winning the final victory 101-93, making Yao Ming's 30 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks into the background.
On January 8, the Knicks were still playing on the road, this time against the Bulls.
The Bulls' tactics against the Knicks last time were more successful, and this time they repeated the old trick and let Ben Gordon play the bench, but this time the Knicks have already prepared, and the Bulls' tactics are a little redundant.
After all, the competition between the two teams is still strength in the final analysis, and it is possible for the core players to play as substitutes to seize the opportunity or lose the opportunity.
This time the Knicks had the advantage from the start, and the Bulls looked as if they had been killed by their own tactics, allowing the Knicks to win 14 in a row.
On January 9, the Knicks, who returned to their home court, played the Rockets again.
This time, Yao Ming was powerful from the beginning, and with his high efficiency on the inside, the team did not fall behind in the battle with the Knicks.
But when it came time to rotate, the Rockets' bench didn't work, and the Knicks suddenly had the advantage.
Yao Ming performed better in this game, scoring a double-double of 36 points and 11 rebounds, but the Rockets still lost to the Knicks by 9 points.
Because except for Yao Ming, everyone else on the Rockets team was killed by the Knicks.
On January 11, the Knicks accepted the challenge of the Raptors at home.
The Raptors haven't changed much this season, as their European style of play has gradually become familiar to their opponents, and they have started only mediocre.
Against the Knicks, they played well in the first quarter.
It's not so much that the Raptors play well, but that Bosh plays well, and because Bosh can pull out and shoot, Randolph has a hard time limiting him.
He scored 23 points in the first half to help his team maintain the lead.
A player like Bosh is more difficult to defend than an orthodox interior when he comes in, and the Knicks don't plan to pinch him, but decide to kill the rest of the Raptors.
Bosh was still efficient in the third quarter, but the Raptors' lead was lost.
The rest of their teams were guarded to death, and they couldn't defend the Knicks' points.
Even though their rookie Giammario Moon defended very hard, he was still a little tender against Lehi.
When the Raptors' offensive efficiency was declining, Lehi scored back-to-back points to help the team establish an advantage in one fell swoop.
With a 16-game winning streak, the Knicks are about to close their winning streak again.
Last season they only tied their winning streak, which is a bit of a pity, but this season they are stronger and more calm in the face of winning streaks.
"We just try to beat every opponent, we don't care about the winning streak, and we would be happy if we could do it."
When Li Hai was interviewed by reporters, he was very calm.
However, they are calm, and the outside world will also be staring at their winning streak.
With the defending champions and the league's best record, it's impossible for them not to get noticed.
On January 13th, their opponent is the Pistons, and the Pistons have a very good record right now, and if they can break the Knicks' winning streak, they should be a good opponent.
At the beginning of the game, the Pistons also played aggressively, not only defending very tightly, but also playing well on the offensive end.
But soon, the Knicks opened the gap from their inside.
After Ben Wallace left, the Pistons didn't see much impact on their record, but they still lacked confidence when they faced tough teams against strong teams.
The Knicks relied on Randolph to tear up their interior defense.
After there was a flaw in the defense, the Pistons had no way to make up for it with offense, because the Knicks' defense was also very strong, especially against the Pistons.
So from the second half of the first quarter, the Knicks had the advantage of the situation, and the advantage of the bench allowed them to extend the lead even further.
