Chapter 518: Upstart! nix

readx;

After a 17-game winning streak against the Pacers on Dec. 17, the Cavaliers rushed back to their home court, Cleveland, where they will face the recent upstart Knicks...... Counting the Knicks is definitely one of the old powerhouses in the league, but why do you say that they are upstarts? Because since the era of the big four centers has passed, the Knicks have always been the laughing stock of the league, and no matter who they sign, they are all high-paid and incompetent.

The only thing that isn't a garbage contract is that there has only been Marbury's contract in recent years, but Marbury's surname is really a bit depressing, so in the end it was unhappy, the Knicks are in the Big Apple, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Since becoming the league's belly, the Knicks have become more and more depressed, and in the battle for James this summer, the Knicks have been in the lead, but unfortunately, in the end, Pat Riley made a killer move, and James went to Miami.

And the original conjecture of the Knicks' Big Three was only completed, introducing the Suns' interior killer Stoudemire into the team.

"Only the sky is their limit!" It seems that this sentence has always been a boast in the league, when I saw that Smalls led the Knicks to win eight consecutive victories before, the former New York titan John Starks said this, obviously the titanic who helped the Knicks play in the 1994 Finals was excited, and what he said is also true, at least in New York, you can hear people everywhere talking about this team, saying how good this team is, which is unimaginable in the past few years.

A lot of celebrities have jumped out to say that this is the first stop of the great revival of the Knicks, and you can feel that the great power is reunited in this great building (Madison Yard), and everyone has a desire for the city.

However, when the Knicks went crazy, they were not in a good situation at the moment, and they had lost two in a row before facing the Cavaliers.

Looking at the current state of the Cavaliers, 17 consecutive wins have not become their burden, if the Knicks now face any team has the possibility of winning, but only in the face of the Cavaliers, they really can't find a chance to win.

The Knicks play small-ball tactics and play run-and-shoot, Dantony's strongest is this, and he will only do this.

And the Cavaliers are now the league's No. 1 spear, with a lot of talent, offense, outside defense, and everything is disadvantaged.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Cavaliers are the league's No. 1 offensive team, their shooting percentage, scoring, three-point shooting percentage, frontcourt rebounds, team-wide assists, team-wide blocks, team-wide steals, are all the first in the league, and they don't give other teams any chance at all, if it weren't for their ability to play too fast, their defense would have reached an extreme.

So now the Cavaliers are not scared at all in the face of the Knicks, it's a big deal that the two sides are attacking, and the Cavaliers are really not afraid of attacking.

The Knicks are not a strong opponent for the Cavaliers, but before facing the Knicks, the players on the Cavaliers' side are actually very tired, but compared with the Knicks, their opponents are still more loving, Rockets, Thunder, Heat, Pacers, except for the Heat Cavaliers, which are more troublesome to play, the other teams are not very troublesome.

And the Knicks are not so lucky, although they have always been at home, but in a week at home in a row to meet the Heat, Nuggets and Celtics, can only say that their luck is not very good, although they have narrowly beaten the Nuggets, but they fell at the feet of the Green Army and the Heat, December 16, Xiaosi has opened' He scored 39 points on 15-of-2 shooting, and his three-pointer was disallowed before the end of the game, ending the 116-118 Knicks at home as the team's longest eight-game winning streak in 15 years came to an end. That battle seemed to exhaust all of Xiao Si's strength, so that he looked a little powerless when facing the Miami Big Three two days later, local time on December 17, the Knicks and the opponent in the first two quarters tied 57 situation five, the second half of a thousand miles, 91-113 tragically ravaged by the Heat, the Cavaliers were ravaged here, found comfort in the Knicks, and today, the same consecutive games, they will face the super strong team in the league now, the Cavaliers, since Zhang Kong's comeback, the Cavaliers have never lost a single game.

The current league rankings are as follows: the first place in the East is still the Green Army, although they have lost to the Cavaliers in a row, but their record is very stable, 21-4, ranked first in the East, the Cavaliers are firmly in second place in the East, 21-6, these 6 losses were all won before Zhang Kong's comeback, and now the media in Cleveland has already jumped, if Zhang Kong does not have those ten bans, then the current first in the league may not be the Spurs, there is a ninety percent chance that it will be the Cavaliers, and the third is the Heat, 21-8, Fourth is 16-9 for the Bulls and 16-10 for the Magic. Recently, the Magic's record has been very bad, and the team's top management has begun to contact other teams and prepare to trade in the middle of the season, and Dan Gilbert will naturally not let go of such an opportunity, it seems that in the next few days, the news of the trade should come out.

The Hawks are sixth at 17-11, the Knicks are seventh at 16-12, and the Pacers are eighth at 12-13.

The 76ers are ninth, the Bucks are tenth, the Raptors are eleventh, the Bobcats are twelfth, the Pistons are thirteenth, the Nets are fourteenth, and the Wizards, where Yi Di is located, are at the bottom of the East this time, ranking fifteenth. In the West, the first place is also the first in the league, although it lost to the Cavaliers, but the Spurs' record is still strong, with a 23-3 record and the first place in the league, the second place is the Mavericks, 21-5, also in front of the Cavaliers, the third place is the Lakers, 20-7, the fourth place is the Thunder 19-8, the fifth place is the Jazz 19-9, the sixth place is the Hornets, 16-10, the seventh place is the Nuggets, 16-10, and recently the Hornets have been officially entrusted to the NBA, their record has also plummeted, and as for the Nuggets, they are no longer the existence that reached the Western Conference finals two years ago, and recently Anthony has been clamoring to leave, and the Nuggets are almost torn apart.

In eighth place is the Trail Blazers, there has been no good news for the Trail Blazers recently, Camby is injured, Roy's half-moon analysis is almost worn out, and the only thing that supports the team in the entire Trail Blazers is Aldridge, but this guy is really powerful.

In ninth place is the Suns, tenth is the Grizzlies, eleventh is the Rockets, twelfth is the Warriors, thirteenth is the Clippers who have recently exploded, the fourteenth is the Timberwolves who are famous in the NBA because of Lefou's 30+30, and the fifteenth is the old team before Zhang Kong, the bottom team in the league, the Kings, which is why the fans of the Kings hate Zhang Kong, originally they had a chance to enter the playoffs.

Because the Knicks don't have a pure center, so today Byron Scott arranged a trick to let Vallejo replace Milicic as the starting center to deal with Xiaos, what is Vallejo's strongest? That's right, fake fall!

And what is Xiao Si's strongest? What is the most frustrating player who hits the inside? It's a fake fall player, because he can make him very depressed, the starting players of the Cavaliers today are as follows, center Vallejo, power forward Jamison, small forward Maddy, scoring guard Anthony Parker, point guard Zhang Kong, and the starting lineup of the Knicks is as follows, big forward Amare Studemier, forward Danilo Gallinari, small forward Wilson Chandler, scoring guard Landry Fields, point guard is Raymond Felton last year's Bobcats, this fat man has been very popular in the Knicks recently.

But he has also made his position clear, he is just an excess, in fact, the guys that New Yorkers want the most are Anthony and Paul, if these two guys get together with Xiaosi, then the lethality, tsk...... Of course, this is just a thought, with the referee's whistle, the first game of the season between the Cavaliers and the recent league upstart Knicks officially began under the urging of electronic bells! As soon as the referee's hand waved, the players of both teams were in position and ready to attack, Xiao Si and Vallejo also stood in the center circle together, and the two were ready to jump the ball.

Vallejo has not had a particularly good time in the team recently, the former core of the team, since the rebellion, he has become a regular on the bench with Xiao Mo, which may be the reason why Byron Scott wants to take him for himself, he has also had some performances recently, and Vallejo has also seized the opportunity of these performances, and the performance is indeed good, generally playing teams without a tall inside, the Cavaliers will still consider putting him on the inside, Milicic has some big ups and downs.

Sometimes he can get 20+10+5+5, 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 blocks.

But if he can't play, he also has a situation where he only scores two points in a game, even if he is Zhang Kong's diehard, he can't start every game, and Zhang Kong can't be so vexatious, so as long as the opponent doesn't have a big inside, Milicic is generally resting below, and when the referee throws the orange basketball into the air, the two big men on the inside line also fly.

But compared to bouncing, Vallejo was obviously not Xiao Si's opponent, and Xiao Si slapped the ball to his half court for the first time.

Raymond Felton put the ball in his arms for the first time, and then slowly dribbled through the half, not that he didn't want to be fast, but under Zhang Kong's defense, he couldn't get up fast, looking at Zhang Kong who was half-squatting in front of him, Felton's face was much more solemn for no reason.
