Chapter 217: Home Defense

In the villa, Liang Xiao and Mu Qingyu kept talking about it very late, I don't know when I fell asleep, I only know that this is the most comfortable night I have ever felt in my life, life, ideals and so on everything seems so real and touchable, although this night is a sleepless night, but Liang Xiao still fell asleep here, and saw himself standing in Madison Square Garden, with a ring in his hand, kissing the trophy, and feeling the cheers around him

Happy times always seem not easy, the training of the Knicks is still continuing, Liang Xiao participated in the training as scheduled, although I really want to stay at home, enjoy the fun of family, and go shopping in New York with my parents, but the time is not **, can not be squeezed, every day of training can torture people enough, Liang Xiao has no time to be distracted, and now the life of the Knicks is not so good, Liang Xiao can only let Cheng Weiwei and them take their parents to enjoy the beautiful scenery and scenic spots here in New York, Himself and his teammates of the Knicks sweated on the court,

The joy of the Spring Festival did not interrupt Liang Xiao's plan, and the matter of participating in training with the team did not fall, the most important thing is that now Liang Xiao is coming to his first time, the first All-Star Game, which is a test for himself, such an opportunity is something that others may not have in their lifetime, and themselves, relying on the talent system, bring a different life.

Before the All-Star weekend, the Knicks still have two games, the teams against are the teams that welcome Los Angeles, the two games at home, first the Clippers and then the Lakers, the Clippers team, since they entered the league, there has been no good luck, the ups and downs during the period have not made this team go further, compared with the Lakers in the same city, it can only be the second in 10,000 years, in the previous life, the Clippers turned over, with Paul's joining, plus the growing Lipfen, Let this team gradually be able to compete with the Lakers, but to be on an equal footing with the Lakers, this team still needs too many things, which is why the first reaction of people watching football in the United States is to choose to go to Staples Arena, go to Staples to see whom, other people's first reaction is also to watch the Lakers' game, and even the president of the United States will invite politicians from other countries to watch the Lakers game that the United States is proud of in political exchanges.

For the current Knicks, the rumors of being involved in the trade have not made the team's situation very good, in the process of the last away game, the Knicks suffered a Waterloo-like tragedy, and now in the last two games before the All-Star, they gradually have the consciousness of fighting to defend their home court, at least in the hearts of fans, they want to see a Knicks team with blood and passion,

The first game at home is the Los Angeles Clippers, the Clippers have always been an out-and-out youth army, but this youth army is not in momentum now, many of them have to pay for their youth before they are promoted to the main force of each team, the youth army's season is not so good, now the season is halfway through, but their wins are low and scary, in the 47 games that have been completed, the Clippers are only 16 wins, only a third of the wins, which has to make the team's management pay attention, Now there are constant rumors that the head coach of the Clippers Alvin Gentry is very likely to lose his position, and it was the head coach's results after the halfway point in his previous life that made the management have to bring in the old coach Dennis Johnson, replace Gentry, change the team's style, and adopt run-and-gun tactics.

In this game, the Knicks' home court has been full, in the previous games, fans are not very satisfied with the performance of the Knicks, in this season, the Knicks have a good momentum, and now the fans hear rumors of the team's trade, and also expect the Knicks' senior management to bring extremely good players to the team, so that they can go further in the playoffs, and may even be involved in the championship,

"It seems that everyone's expectations for our game today are very high, you must know that the first few games are not satisfactory." The on-site commentary is also sympathetic to the enthusiasm of Knicks fans.

"There are really things in the previous games that shouldn't be won, the games that should be won were not won, and hopefully this game is a good game, after all, the Clippers are not good." The commentator on the side also had great expectations for the Knicks' performance.

With the spotlight of the arena hitting the Knicks players, the game officially began, Houston is still the last to appear as the core figure of the team, although Houston is in the middle of the trade rumors, but as a member of the team, this game still has to play, Liang Xiao's current low position is getting higher and higher, it can be seen from the order of appearance, in the past, Liang Xiao would always go out of the player tunnel very early, but now Liang Xiao has come out of the last time to play,

Liang Xiao is still sitting on the bench, as the Knicks' golden substitute, the Clippers' lineup is definitely the top lineup in the league if it is pushed back for two years, center Olowo Kandi, the champion show in 98, is the most valuable player in the Clippers now, but the salary is only more than six million a year, and at the position of big forward is Elton Brand with all-star strength, this is also the champion show, Margeti in the small forward position, Averaged 16.8 points, 5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, on the point guard is the spear Piacox, and on the point guard is Andre Miller.

There are excellent players such as Odom and Quentin Richardson on the bench, Odom sat on the bench in this game, but he averaged 14.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, and he was a starter in the previous games, and he was not in good shape in recent games, and was pressed on the bench by the head coach, and the current Clippers players are basically around 23 years old, and they all have extraordinary talent,

The game kicked off under the scramble between Harrington and Olowo Kandi, the opening scrum, Harrington got the ball, although Olowo Kandi has the title of Olajuwon II, but this guy is plagued by injuries and has missed many games this season, and the other players of the Clippers are also injured a lot, in the previous life, the Clippers were able to reach 60 games this season There are really not two players, which is why a player is excellent not only depends on his talent, but also on his health, It's like why Kobe Bryant and Carter are compared, Carter didn't get a championship ring in the future, and there is a big reason for his health.

Liang Xiao watched the game from the sidelines, there are Chinese players not only Knicks in these two teams, but also Chinese players Wang Dazhi in the Clippers, in his previous life, Wang Dazhi also returned to China after sitting on the cold bench in the Clippers for a period of time, and his reputation was also damaged, and he was once banned by relevant state personnel,

The Knicks quickly overwhelmed the opponent in scoring, and the two-gun combination on the outside line is much more experienced than these young players of the Clippers, but on the inside, there is an All-Star level Brand, which makes Thomas very stressful on defense, even if Thomas does his best in the means, he can't prevent the opponent from scoring, in the traditional power forward position, even if Brand is the last one, he has flexible footsteps, has a stable mid-range shot, and his ability to rebound is very strong. This season, he averaged 11 rebounds per game, but this guy was also plagued by injuries, in his previous life, it was because of injuries that this excellent big front became a pit dad and took a contract of 100 million yuan to recuperate, but now is a period of stability that really makes the Knicks a little difficult,

Odom, who did half a quarter off the court, made the Knicks' interior even more anxious after he came on the court, Odom has the title of left-handed magician, and his physical condition can play several positions on the court, and he can play as a small forward before he plays, partnering with Brand, and directly destroying the Knicks' interior line on the inside,

But fortunately, the Knicks still have Liang Xiao's big killer, Van Gundy saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately replaced Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao was enthusiastic after playing, because of this home game, his parents and Mu Qingyu They all went to the scene to watch the game, and there was no reason not to perform well.

After playing on the court, Andre Miller, who faced himself defending himself, came to a pendulum pass, and faced Odom on the inside was a violent dunk, so that Odom kept spewing trash talk to Liang Xiao on the court, but Odom's trash talk did not have an effect, but let Liang Xiao find him in the first quarter, causing two fouls, in the first quarter of the game under the Knicks' trio, Liang Xiao performed particularly well, contributing 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, which changed the situation on the court at once, The Knicks, who were still playing positional battles, suddenly became a fast-running team.

The Knicks in the second quarter of the game is still under the launch of Liang Xiao to run fast, Van Gundy simply replaced the Knicks' lineup with a small lineup, in this quarter of the game, Liang Xiao continued to stage his own personal show, some time ago, Liang Xiao sorted out his talent system, his current state is constantly rising, it won't be long before he can join the ranks of pure first-class players,

In the first half of the game, although the Knicks lost some on the inside, but after Van Gundy used a small lineup, he gradually established a score advantage, and in the third quarter of the game, the madman went crazy and led the Knicks to play a wave of 12-2 small attack wave, which suddenly made the young team of the Clippers lose confidence, which is also the weakness of the youth army.

In the last quarter, when there was still half a quarter left in the game, it became garbage time, and Liang Xiao was also replaced to rest, because he was going to face the strong team Lakers in the next game, and Liang Xiao saw Wang Dazhi on the court in this quarter, which also reflects that he did not blindly trust his agent when he arrived in the United States at the beginning, otherwise, I don't know what it looks like now,

The game ended perfectly, and the fans were very satisfied with the game at home.
