Chapter 150 The Best of the East

Liang Xiao rested during this time, and the Knicks sent someone to visit Liang Xiao's apartment, in fact, as a Knicks, there is no need to visit, because Liang Xiao and the Knicks are now just an employer and employee, for the Knicks, it depends on Liang Xiao's state, and whether it is possible to return to the court early, after all, Liang Xiao is an affordable and practical player, for Liang Xiao, the Knicks want him to return to the court as soon as possible to play for the Knicks, and now the Knicks have reached the time when they are not in charge, It's a big blow to face several consecutive defeats,

As an injured Liang Xiao, of course, he hopes that his team can achieve good results, as a rookie, it is a good thing to have more experience, so to adjust for his own shortcomings, in the case of the Knicks, it is impossible to hope to enter the championship this season, but Liang Xiao still hopes that the team can enter the playoffs, as a rookie has playoff experience is a very good thing, every player who enters the NBA hopes to get the championship, Having experience in the playoffs is a good thing for the playoffs to go further, and Liang Xiao certainly expects that.

Liang Xiao, who is now recuperating in his apartment, does not worry too much, but is constantly enjoying the arrangements of the two beauties for all aspects of his life, living a life of eating and stretching his hands, I don't know how comfortable it is, Liang Xiao is at home every day during this time, and there are two beauties to accompany him to the surrounding parks for a walk, New York, where the Knicks are located, is really a good place, there are many big parks in the city, the largest is Central Park, which is the most beautiful city park in the world, After Liang Xiao arrived in New York, he rarely came here to visit, but this time it was Mu Qingyu and Hathaway who took Liang Xiao here for a long time.

During this period of time, in addition to going for a walk, and then going to the hospital for a review, what makes Liang Xiao most happy is that Liang Xiao won the best rookie in the East, and the rookie who can compete with Liang Xiao in this is in addition to Carlos Boozer of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and there is no one in the East who can compete with him, Boozer was selected by the Cavaliers in a very incredible position, but obviously the Cavaliers have seen the treasure, and since this season, Boozer is averaging 10 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, which definitely doesn't match his draft position, but there's no way around it.

And the most incompatible is Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao has been in this season, can get 16.2 points per game plus 3.7 assists and 2.4 rebounds, such data is obviously beyond Boozer, as a player who did not participate in the draft, this is not in history, Liang Xiao won the best rookie in the East as a non-draft player, this is an affirmation of Liang Xiao, but also an affirmation of the Knicks' results in November, when Liang Xiao was on the court, the Knicks scored without losing too many points, becoming an out-and-out bench bandit, leading the bench, and winning many games for the Knicks,

In the days when he didn't play, Liang Xiao still didn't fall off the Knicks' game, watching the game in the apartment, the Knicks' two-gun performance was still very good, but it was even better in terms of the opponent, when playing against the Kings, the Knicks' two-gun contributed a total of 47 points, but the Knicks were not as good as the Kings in other positions, the Kings' leader Chris Webb scored 24 points, Peja Stojakovic scored 20 points, Mike Bibby and Bobby Jackson scored 16 points each,

On the inside, the Kings have the league's outstanding interior Webber, the 1993 champion pick, is famous in the Kings, his skills under the basket are very delicate, his mid-range shooting and the air cutting skills he has practiced under the Princeton system are first-class, and the former Michigan Five Tigers have not been in the Kings for too long, which is what Liang Xiao knows, and later injuries plagued the king,

With Webb on the inside, Peja on the outside, three-point shooting is very accurate, the speed of shooting is also super fast, his coverage can be anywhere on the offensive end, and his ability to cut in the air under the Princeton system is also very prominent, since White Chocolate left the Kings, Peja has continued to rise to become the second star in addition to Webb,

There are also roles like Mike Bibby and Bobby Jackson on the outside, which makes the Kings' Princeton system play gorgeous and smooth, it is worth saying that Bobby Jackson spent time in the Rockets at the end of his career, so Liang Xiao is still very impressive, however, even if the current King is still the King of the previous season, he did not get a championship, only Peja later transferred to the Mavericks and got a championship ring, which has to be a pity for a superstar like Chris Webb,

In the face of the Pacers, the Knicks are also much weaker in terms of strength, the strength of the Pacers in the East can be said to be very strong, since the beginning of this season, the Pacers' record is absolutely luxurious, so far, only lost one game, the head coach of the Pacers is Isaiah Thomas, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas is the leader of the Bad Boy Army in the history of the Pistons, this man who is only 1.85 meters has a very much aura, and is one of the top 50 superstars in the league, Named an All-Star for twelve consecutive years in his career,

has a good record in the player days, but now as the head coach of a team, but the ability is still very outstanding, and he has been making great progress since this season, Liang Xiao knows that in this season's All-Star Game, because of the excellent record of the Pacers led by Isaiah Thomas, he was selected as the head coach of the Eastern All-Star pair, but Liang Xiao knows more that Isaiah Thomas, who came to the Pacers after Big Bird Bird, is indeed a tiger this season, and his record after the All-Star is a mess, But now the All-Star Game hasn't arrived,

The Pacers have a lot of stars, which the Knicks can't compete with at all, and the Pacers' O'Neal Jr., Artest, and Brad Miller are all in their playing years, and the Knicks are all veterans, and there is no way to compare them physically, and this game was ultimately lost.

In the game against the Pistons in the East, at the beginning of the season, the Knicks beat the Pistons, but this time they didn't have such good luck, on the road, the Pistons fired inside and outside, and the interior line had Ben Wallace on the court defense plus rebounding, which didn't give the Knicks much chance inside, on the outside, the Pistons were stronger, with Richard Hamilton and Billups who are now young players, and they were all good players, plus at the beginning, The Knicks relied on surprise to make the Pistons lose, and this game didn't give the Knicks a chance at all, and directly strangled the Knicks at home.

In the trip to New Orleans against the Hornets, the team that was originally in Charlotte, when Charlotte did not stabilize at the beginning, the Knicks won one game when they were surprised on the road, but there was no such good luck in this game, Jamal Marshburn, an All-Star player, played in this game, scoring 35 points alone, the strength of the Hornets and the Knicks were much higher, the Hornets are the favorites in the Eastern Conference playoffs, plus someone stood up in this game, The Knicks lacked people again, had very little firepower on the offensive end, and finally failed.

The four consecutive games ended in failure, for the Knicks, the blow is very big, the four consecutive defeats let the Knicks' executives know that the current Knicks are definitely not the Knicks of five years ago, and now Ewing is not there, whether the Knicks can make the playoffs is a question mark, and at the same time, the Knicks also found that Liang Xiao is now an indispensable part of the team, Liang Xiao's offensive ability can be within the top five in terms of the team, and there is no problem at all as a starter of the Knicks. Now as a rookie, it can definitely be used as a cornerstone of the Knicks' restructuring in the future.

But all this is just Liang Xiao felt a little frustrated, I didn't expect the Knicks to be so vulnerable, in the previous life, the Knicks did not enter the playoffs this season, in the next season, the madman Sprewell left Minnesota, Houston is also beginning to slowly age, the Knicks' top management poached the lone wolf Marbury from the Suns, but in this season, Liang Xiao's excellent play made the Knicks have a better start, and now the Knicks are hovering on the edge of the playoffs, As long as the Knicks can go further, it must be a role in the playoffs.

Liang Xiao returned to the Knicks immediately after a week of rest, the team's technical staff conducted a comprehensive inspection of Liang Xiao, when the team was training, the head coach could also let Liang Xiao not start the team confrontation so quickly, but Liang Xiao resolutely participated, and performed very well, generally speaking, after a period of injury to the player, it will take a while to recover and return to the original feel, teammates in the team praise Liang Xiao's youth and technology, But only I know that I am training every day in the talent training ground.

In addition to training, Liang Xiao and his agent Cheng Weiwei held a press conference with the team, explaining the status of his injury to everyone, and at the same time for winning the best rookie of the month in the East, Liang Xiao also thanked everyone, and said that he would not play for the Knicks in such a state.

However, when discussing the issue of public security between China and the United States, Liang Xiao was invited by the New York Police Department to attend a public welfare event, calling on the American people to be rational on issues such as guns and make a proposal for the stability of public security.
