Chapter 209: The Price of Decadence

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks only scored 16 points, on the other hand, the Pistons, in fact, in this game, the Pistons' performance can only be average, but the average is much better than the decadent Knicks, in terms of scoring, the score in the first quarter was 16-29, and the Knicks fell behind by as many as 13 points, which is the largest difference in the score at the beginning of the first quarter in the whole season, Liang Xiao scored almost half of the Knicks' scores, if this state continues, The Knicks must have lost in the end of this game, but in terms of losing, it depends on whether the Knicks are attentive and whether there is a big gap in the end.

Van Gundy looked at the disciples who came off the court, one by one they were all depressed, Liang Xiao saw that there was no way for others, I really wanted to give everyone a little stimulant, so that everyone cheered up, off the court, Van Gundy could only cheer for everyone in the Knicks, this game was the most disappointing start since the start of the season, Liang Xiao was constantly told by Van Gundy how to play in the interval time, this may be the only reliable player for Van Gundy now, in this player change, in fact, it stands to reason, There are not many people who really change, but every game of the Knicks is very good now, but surgery in such a situation will definitely have an impact on everyone.

The second quarter of the game started quickly, Liang Xiao performed well as always, in the second quarter of the game, Chauncy scored only two points in the second quarter because of Liang Xiao's defense, but there are more data on the assist, the Knicks have now completely become the object of abuse on the inside, Big Ben maintains absolute dominance in the paint area, even Liang Xiao, who is in good shape now, has no good way to deal with Big Ben's defense on the inside, no wonder this guy can succeed in the best defense, Thomas, who is on the inside, was directly abused by Big Ben, scoring more than half less in the low post than usual, plus rebounding, so that the Knicks as a whole have less than 30% of opportunities.

The only thing that can be said on the outside is Liang Xiao, who played nearly half of the second quarter, and although the Knicks' two-gun combination was much better in the second quarter than in the first quarter, it still did not put pressure on the Pistons in terms of scoring.

Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, was almost hoarse, but the effect was still not good, the Knicks were still bullied by the Pistons after the timeout, and at the end of the second quarter, although the Knicks were much better than the first quarter, the score in the second quarter still lost by 7 points, and suddenly entered the third quarter with a 20-point difference.

"Now that the Knicks are on the edge of a cliff, I don't know how many fans will be watching this game in front of the TV, but what can we say about a game like this." The host of the imperial court TV station was speechless when he saw such a game,

"In fact, the players in the NBA are still very professional, I think this game is still affected by the team, and it is relatively large, the most important thing is that the Knicks' two-gun combination has been greatly affected, and they have lost a lot in scoring, the two can average more than 40 points per game, and now in the first half, the two of them combined are not more than 20, and the impact is not small, let's see in the second half, we hope that the Knicks' players can improve."

"I still hope that Liang Xiao and his Knicks team will do well in this game and even this season, and I think all the Chinese fans will be very happy to see this kind of scene."

Just when the host and the commentator were expecting the Knicks, an earthquake broke out in the Knicks' locker room, and Van Gundy was furious in the locker room.

"Look at your game, look at your first half, I want to know if you only have this kind of ability, if you only have this kind of energy, I think it's right for you to get out of here as soon as possible, because we don't need players who bring us bad influences, we need good fighters, heroes who can bring us victory, look at you, you are fighters, you are heroes." Van Gundy has no hair on the top of his head, otherwise he would be really angry, all the Knicks players closed their lips, no one made a sound, Liang Xiao didn't think that Van Gundy had such a grumpy side, no wonder in his previous life, when Van Gundy was on the Rockets, he was able to shock a player like Francis,

Van Gundy walked out of the locker room after giving the Knicks players a big stick, at this time the players in the locker room were all bowing their heads or looking at each other, at this time, Houston, as the captain of the team, did not stand up and say anything, at this time, Liang Xiao stood up, "Hey, guys, we've never been so, you know, even if it's the Pistons, we can win at the beginning, this game can be done, we stand up, even if we lose, it's good, It's not that we haven't said who will go, but even if we want to go, we will walk standing and smiling, and I think we will only walk better in this way. ”

"Hey, Liang is right, we have to be like a gentleman now, even if we go somewhere else, we can get more victories and more honors." The madman stood up, side by side with Liang Xiao, cheering everyone up,

Liang Xiao walked to the door and said to his teammates in the locker room, "Hey, guys, what are we waiting for." ”

Looking at Liang Xiao who beckoned, everyone's eyes were shining, and this was also the picture they would always engrave in their minds when they recalled Liang Xiao later, a moment, forever engraved in their minds.

Walking in the arena, I suddenly found that the entire Knicks had changed, and everyone's eyes were different, Van Gundy seemed to have found the excitement he had when he saw his disciples on the sidelines,

"At the start of the second half, we'll see if our Knicks can make a change, and I'm sure the Knicks will change."

"It's a sure thing that the Knicks players have a shift in their halftime breaks, so we'll see what the Knicks turn around."

With the entry of the Knicks players, the commentators of the court TV station are hoping that the Knicks will change, Liang Xiao and his teammates clenched their fists together, looking forward to playing, and the third quarter of the game officially began.

What all the Pistons and Auburn Hills Palace fans didn't expect was that the Knicks immediately became a different team when they came back after halftime, or another familiar Knicks returned, which may be the rise of the Knicks after the decadence of the Auburn Hills Palace, all the Knicks players know what they are doing now, not for the salary, not for which team, but for the basketball dream in their hearts, and here I also see a young man's pursuit of his dream,

After playing the court, Liang Xiao has not made a shot, the Knicks' players are under Liang Xiao's revitalization, and gradually have made a great improvement, the first force is the Knicks' double guns, the strength of the Knicks' double guns is not weak, facing the Pistons team is actually much stronger in terms of personal ability, Sprewell's small forward position, the Pistons can't be compared at all, whether it's Michael Carry or the Pistons' sixth man Chris Williams, no one can compete in the small front position, because the Pistons are mainly inside, The best sixth man winner, Kriss, as an inside lineman, has no ability to compete with the madman after the rotation.

After the madman came on the court, he received an assist from Liang Xiao in front of the Pistons, directly hit two three-pointers, and then used his speed to play the Pistons on the outside of the Pistons for two rounds, so that the Pistons had to wrap up on the madman, and the interior defense had to expand the scope of the Knicks.

In Houston, the Pistons' Hamilton is still very poor in the face of Houston's limitations in terms of defensive ability, Houston directly posed a big threat to Hamilton in the mid-range shot, and after he got on the court, he scored with two mid-range shots.

On the other hand, the Pistons entered the third quarter of the game with a score of 20 points, and there was a lax mood in the psychological aspect, and they did not pay attention to the Knicks on the outside, and they were suddenly hit by the Knicks in the third quarter with a 14-4 attack wave.

"If the Knicks' current state was in the first half, I think this game would be the Knicks winning, and now it's just the performance of two teams." Seeing the current performance of the Nix, the host of the fifth station of the imperial court couldn't help but sigh,

"Yes, but there will be no situation in any game, I hope this is good as long as it is not the norm for the Knicks, and now that the Knicks are in good shape, they will catch up with the score all of a sudden, or watch the next game." Director Zhang expressed his understanding of the current situation of the Knicks,

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, the Pistons finally effectively contained the Knicks' attack wave, but after the end of the third quarter, the Knicks caught up with the score by 13 points, and by the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks were only 7 points behind.

Entering the fourth quarter of the game, although the Knicks still maintain a good momentum, but it seems a little too late to turn back, the Pistons who led by 20 points at halftime are definitely not always a fish belly team, this team has a strong interior line, and there is also firepower support on the outside, now that the Pistons have woken up, there is no chance to give the Knicks a Jedi counterattack, the Knicks have no chance on the inside, the interior led by Big Ben, plus the interior line with Robinson and Williams, The Pistons limited the Knicks to the three-second zone, and the Knicks, who scored on the outside, gradually got not many opportunities in the score, one is because of the decline in physical fitness, and the other is that the Pistons have also strengthened their defense, and the Knicks swallowed a bitter fruit in the Pistons' home Auburn Hills Palace,

After the Knicks' defeat in Auburn Hills, the road to the road was Atlanta, where this season's All-Star Weekend was held.
