Chapter 242 Upward Trend

The Knicks finally breathed a sigh of relief after a losing streak and did not let the losing trend continue.

A victory is like a good situation, all the media for the performance of the Knicks is like the discovery of a new continent of surprise, no one is more enthusiastic about such a topic than this group of people, all the reporters are telling the Knicks to get back to feel and get back to the state, especially the domestic reporters, for the performance of the Knicks, especially Liang Xiao's performance, is even more boastful, as if a new player has appeared in China,

Liang Xiao received text messages and phone calls that were also happy, for these kind greetings one by one to express his gratitude, and returned to his talent training ground, to strengthen his ability, for such a thing Liang Xiao has never slackened, because he knows that there are talents in the country, maybe he will be criticized from all sides if he doesn't work hard, the most important thing is that he can't pass this level,

After the game against the Wizards, the Knicks rested for two days to continue to adjust, which is a big test for head coach Van Gundy, the Knicks' existing lineup can only be supplemented on the basis of the original, and all kinds of people are making appearances in the training game, no one wants to work hard to get a better position at this time, even if it is a very good result, which makes the atmosphere of the Knicks not seem unhappy because of the injury of the main team,

After the home game against the Wizards, it is to welcome the Memphis Grizzlies, this young team is still constantly reorganizing the team, which team is accumulated, although the current Grizzlies have Pau Gasol and White Chocolate Jason Williams, and got the Magic's McMiller at the time of the trade, but this team just doesn't seem to have found its soul,

The game kicked off under the attention of more than 20,000 fans at the scene, the game maniac is still resting off the court, and it will take a few days to get on the court, for the current Knicks, which team can not be taken lightly, sure enough, in the opening four minutes, the Knicks were bullied by the Grizzlies for four minutes, and a wave of 12-3 starts makes people have to wonder if this game will end in failure,

"Hey, Shanton, look at the opponent's No. 31 and watch out for his three-pointers." When Gasol on the Grizzlies' interior line faced Thomas's offense to no avail, Liang Xiao saw the ball flying out from the inside, and immediately shouted at Anderson, although the current Battier has not yet become a veteran of the team, but for this three-point and high-level player, Liang Xiao commanded his teammates to fill in in time, if the ball is scored, the Knicks will be defeated in the first few minutes,

Anderson fortunately got Liang Xiao's reminder, rushed to his position in time, and flew over to Battier who shot, Battier was blinded by Anderson, and lost two crosshairs at once, and Witherspoon on the inside rushed to grab the rebound.

Half a quarter has passed, the Knicks' shot basically ended with iron, such a shot made the Knicks only 20% of the shooting rate after the half quarter, the rapid counterattack began, Liang Xiao fell to Marbury after receiving the ball, and now the Knicks can only rely on singles, singles have become the main means of scoring, and there are only two guards in the coordination with more results,

Marbury faced his opponent McMiller, in height, arm span and bounce to outperform, plus Marbury's face frame singles skills are also first-class, fortunately, the Timberwolves and Suns cast the old horse's singles, and now after a cross step in front of McMiller, he began to step back, so that Miller did not keep up with the rhythm, and the ball was hit steadily,

But the good times didn't last long, the Grizzlies' interior line has Pau Gasol, and the pressure on the interior line is still frequent, not only because Thomas can get a good containment effect on the inside support, after all, the opponent's toughness is not easy to be effectively controlled because of a strong defensive player, although the Grizzlies are now sending Drew Gooden and Gordon Girisek, which has not affected the strength of the Grizzlies with a deep interior bench,

Under the leadership of Gasol, 7-3 again, so that the Knicks fell behind by 11 points, which made Van Gundy on the sidelines anxious, and after two consecutive timeouts, he still did not receive good results, so he had to make frequent substitutions on the inside, the offense is a lineup, and the defense is a lineup, the whole is like American football, but this effect is really effective in the last two minutes of the first quarter,

Liang Xiao and Marbury frequently scored on the outside, and their shots on the inside were basically only Thomas's occasional threads, which made the Knicks only fall behind by 9 points at the end of the first quarter, and finally contained the situation of continuous retreat.

When the second quarter came on the court, the Knicks immediately put a lot of firepower on the outside, which greatly increased the pressure on the Grizzlies on the outside, and the Knicks relied on Liang Xiao's four three-pointers and Marbury's three three-pointers in the second quarter, and suddenly turned the situation that was already behind, and at halftime, the Knicks entered the rest time with a five-point advantage,

In the second half, Van Gundy increased the strength of the Knicks' interior defense, and did not make the score a patent for the Grizzlies, the interior line is only on defense and defense at all costs, which makes Gasol unable to kill directly under the frame on the inside, and more bags make Gasol's mistakes increase, and in the third quarter alone, Gasol's mistakes reached 4 times, which is a team that relies on the support of Gasol on the inside, which is also a team that relies on a star to score when it becomes very passive,

Liang Xiao and Marbury in the face of Jason Williams and McMiller and other Grizzly guards, the power of the second half of the outbreak is amazing, do not want such an advantage in the recovery and hit hard, although the game did not win by a big score, but the Knicks and Liang Xiao contributed 49 points, which is also the main achievement of the Knicks since this time, that is, the two have become more tacit and become an indispensable part of the Knicks,

In the next game, the Knicks have been in a rebounding trend, challenging the Hawks away, the madman Sprewell returned to the court, although Van Gundy is a conservative style of play, let the madman on the bench for a whole quarter and did not start, but the madman proved his strong return with his own state, and got 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, which reduced the pressure on the Knicks a lot, especially in scoring, so that the pressure on Liang Xiao and Lao Ma was sharply reduced,

This season in the game against the Hawks can only say that the other party's luck is not very good, in the three games the Knicks defeated the opponent, for Liang Xiao, it can be said that Atlanta is Liang Xiao's blessed land, although it is in the Knicks rise, but the real Liang Xiao to the world is still in the Atlanta All-Star Game, Liang Xiao proved to fans all over the world with his performance, he really landed on this stage,

In the away game against the Hawks, Liang Xiao also got 25 points and 6 boards, and Lao Ma put more energy into assists, only 11 points, but 13 assists, and the Hawks players are also some players who are about to die, which has to say why the Knicks won in three games, the big dog Glenn Robinson and Sharif Abdullah Rahim are all in the last days of their careers, especially Abdullah Rahim, who participated in the All-Star last year, Now he can average 21 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, but the two of them are basically playing the role of soy sauce in the process of the Hawks' reorganization, otherwise in the previous life, the Hawks would not have ended the season in the eleventh place in the East.

After getting the away win, the Knicks returned to their home court against the Milwaukee Bucks, who have now rotated personnel, and the famous coach George Karl has not been able to lead this team with excellent players to win the championship, only to lose confidence in the anticipation year after year, and the players to the owners of the team are thinking that now is the time to rebuild the team.

By the time the three musketeers had lost their last glory, the Bucks had come to an end, and Ray Allen's current Seattle and Lewis had formed a spear group that had begun to kill the league, leaving the aging Sam Cassell and Gary Payton behind.

Although Liang Xiao won with the team in this game, Liang Xiao still knows the gap between himself and these old guys, especially remembering that when Liang Xiao came to the Knicks in the preseason game against Gary Payton, although he performed well, he still couldn't benefit from the hands of this old guy with excellent defensive skills, this game is still like this, Liang Xiao didn't talk directly to Payton on the breakthrough more often, but occasionally on the opposite side and when he broke through, Always be on guard against this guy's outstretched hand, maybe at any time the other party will take the ball,

Liang Xiao didn't have too much excellence in this game, but the old horse and Payton, the two old and new game on the point guard, still aroused the cheers of the fans on the spot, and many times I didn't know what to watch this game for, maybe I wanted to find the taste of victory in the first three musketeers era or something else, but the duel between the two point guards definitely made the fans on the scene too addicted,

The Knicks won four in a row after seven consecutive losses, which made many people see the future of the Knicks in the playoffs again, as if everyone was looking forward to it, the Knicks in New York City in Madison Square Garden, can think of all the superstars get honors here, this time to get a championship trophy here, if that's the case, that feeling is absolutely wonderful,
