Chapter 225: Heroes of the Past, Villains of Today

The Knicks, who once again stimulated the team's desire to win, began to go all out, and then defeated the 76ers and Raptors at the bottom of the East respectively. Both teams are now heading for a high draft pick, and although next year's draft year has been confirmed to be a small year, some rookies are still well worth the gamble for him.

In this game, in the eyes of all Knicks members, Iverson did not have the slightest sense of contribution, either because the injury was just right, or the team's results were too miserable, and Iverson had no desire to fight for it, especially in the face of the Knicks' full efforts, he was not willing to do some useless work.

As for the Raptors after the completion of the transaction, they gradually began to train their rookies, Milicic in this highly international team, has not been artificially excluded, and even from the day the team reports, he has served as the absolute main force of the team.

Both games are the kind of big wins of more than 20 points, but what the Knicks face next is a hard battle, and they have to face the Wizards who may be out of the playoffs if they lose one game, and the Wizards who start chasing after the trade is completed...... This game was undoubtedly the league's focus of the day, with too much direct broadcast.

After the Wizards traded to Carter, they have not yet established their starting lineup, because Carter and Kwame are together, there are too many players to match, and the starters in this game are Arenas, Carter, Jeffries, Kwame and Haywood.

And the Knicks also changed the starters, Bosh did not appear at power forward, and Malone appeared in the starting lineup for the first time. During this period of game adaptation, coupled with the extension of the time with the main team, Malone is already a qualified starter.

It was a race at the MIC Center, and it was the first time that Gong Feng had returned to this season here, but it was different from usual. Gong Feng was no longer encouraged here, but became the object of wild boos from the fans.

Even in last season's Eastern Conference Finals, Gong Feng did not have this treatment.

Gong Feng thought about this question carefully and couldn't help but shake his head...... Last season's Knicks didn't give the Wizards any threat value at all, and Wizards fans still remember Gong Feng's performance in all Wizards games, and more importantly, in the championship he just won, the Wizards' FMVP is still Gong Feng.

But today is completely different, and the Knicks of Bow Peak are here to prevent the Wizards from making the playoffs...... Gong Feng is the Wizards' fans' worst enemy.

Gong Feng shook his head at this and smiled bitterly. But he was just defending seriously against Arenas, who had just returned from injury, since the fans were so realistic and pragmatic, why did Gong Feng bother himself with something here?

Gong Feng is grateful to the Wizards in his heart, but the iconic characters who make Gong Feng grateful have already left the Wizards, as for Bolin? Gong Feng's heart didn't know whether he was grateful to him or something else, Gong Feng, who didn't have much contact with him, just wanted to play a good game in his heart.

Carter's arrival. It really allowed the Wizards to win eight out of ten games after the All-Star break. To say that in these ten games, there are six teams in the East and West playoffs, and in the face of such a sinister continuous battle, the Wizards still got very good results, and the new Carter contributed to this.

However, after Carter's arrival, the Wizards team faced a new problem, that is, the distribution of the ball. It is impossible to have three players on a team with an average of 20+ points, let alone a Jerry on the Wizards' bench.

In this regard, it was clear that he would focus on the defense of Kwamei and make sacrifices first, but the control of the ball Kwamei also made it clear that he would not let go.

On a team like the Knicks. Hill and Gong Feng are the organizing points, and Ray Allen, Bosh, Yao Ming or Malone will be the endpoints, which is a very good way to form a team, and it is also a championship team model that is difficult to defend.

However, in the main team, once all three points become playmaking points, and you need to hold the ball to attack the organization, in a team where not all five points are the end points, it is extremely unrealistic, and it will also cause great confusion, and extra passes will be extremely deadly, especially when all players are not yet capable of three-point play.

At this time, there must be a sacrifice to be made, and the person who sacrificed this sacrifice will undoubtedly be Arenas.

Arenas is undoubtedly a player with excellent shooting finishing ability, but poor playmaking skills, especially since he returns from injury, and the team is unlikely to give him the responsibility of playmaking.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution to the problem of organizing the team, and there is another big problem that can be extremely fatal, and that is defense. If it is an ordinary playoff team, as long as Kwame is there, the Wizards' defense is not a real problem, but in the face of a team like the Knicks that has the ability to win a championship, the Wizards' defense is a big problem, so the new head coach of the Wizards, Eddie? Jordan used what the Kings did at the time, fighting with the Knicks to attack.

Fight offensively? The Wizards seem to have this kind of capital, and if the four of them let go of everything to score, it is indeed possible to win, but it is only possible to get it...... The Kings are because the main team has been together for a long time, has a very tacit cooperation, and has good projection ability, but what about the current Wizards?

What's more, Jerry, who only has a little bit to fight on the bench, is completely restricted, in addition to Carter and Kwame, Arenas, who serves as the starting shooter, is also completely limited by Gong Feng, for Arenas, who has just begun to learn how to run, Gong Feng has not given up the training of air cutting and running for nearly three years.

Although the Wizards scored 100 points in the end...... This was obtained after several players played for a long time, but the Knicks easily scored 112 points, and this was only later, when Mill let the Wizards go and let the bench come on. Under the organization of Gong Feng and Hill, and in the extremely wide space of the Knicks' projection distance, it is really impossible for Kwame to cover the whole court alone.

The young fans of the Wizards are still very loyal, especially now that the number of Kwame fans has begun to increase rapidly, although there has already been garbage time, most of the young fans still have no intention of quitting, and are even cheering for Kwame who continues to fight.

For the first time, Gong Feng felt that he was a 'badass' in the center of the MIC!

Gong Feng, who left with mixed feelings, finally did not say a word to Kwamei, who enjoyed the cheers of the fans...... It's just that what Gong Feng didn't see was that Kwamei looked at Gong Feng's departing figure with very envious eyes.

The game with the Wizards was on March 7, and in the final schedule of the following March, Gong Feng helped Hill get the regular season MVP at the expense of his assist data, and it was also the first triple-double regular season data in NBA history.

The Knicks also began to prepare for the playoffs in the rotation of players, but Hill did not rest a game, Hill got six triple-doubles and eight big double-doubles or triple-doubles in the game in March, and really improved his regular season data to the point of 14+10+10.

However, such data is not so safe this year, and Garnett's god-like statistics are indeed a big threat, especially since he leads the team to the first place in the West, and fans want him to be the regular season MVP.

As for why Bow Summit made such a big sacrifice for Hill, even sacrificing his title of Assist King?

Gong Feng later explained this in a semi-public occasion, "Without Hill's words at that time, without his recommendation to my team at that time, there would be no where I am now, no wonderful journey in Duke, and no achievements in the NBA, it can be said that without Hill, there would be no me playing in the Knicks!" ”

"I once swore to my heart that Hill is the only idol in my life, of course, now Mr. Jordan's cultivation of me, he must be one of my idols, but Mr. Jordan and Hill, for me, the two cultivation are two completely different concepts!"

"This season is Hill's freshman season, and it's one of the things I can do for Hill, of course, to get this result, and it's also the glory that Hill deserves now, and in this case, I'm just pushing it lightly behind my back!" (To be continued.) )
