Chapter 419: Consecutive Battles Against the Raptors

It's also a coincidence that both of Chen's suspended games were against the Raptors. In this game against the Raptors in New York, the Knicks won. As a result, in the game against the Raptors in Toronto, the Knicks played very hard.

In the last game, the Knicks won relatively easily. But in this game, on their home court, the Raptors naturally can't just lose the game.

The Doctor was on a killing spree in this game, and in the first quarter alone, the Doctor scored 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting. It's awesome. Looks like he's not going to lose the game in front of his own house.

On the Knicks' side, it was still the super play of Starkey on the outside today, but today Lefu was added. Today, Lefou's low-post singles have been successful several times, mainly because Bosh is still a little thin, so when facing Lefou, it is very uncomfortable. Although Lefou's low-post offense is not a big threat, he can still play against skinny interior players.

In the first quarter of the game, Lefu singled Bosh in the low post three times in a row, and as a result, Lefu got 6 points and 6 rebounds in the first quarter.

Speaking of which, although double twenty is not a particularly awesome record, after all, there are not many people who have done this, but even so, double twenty is not so simple, Chen Jiyuan once achieved double twenty, but since Lefu came, Chen Jiyuan felt that it was slowly becoming difficult for him to rebound and double, let alone double twenty.

And Chen Jiyuan's ban in this game has become an opportunity. Let Lefu have the opportunity to complete the double twenty.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward and high-fived his teammates. Sessions' injury still has a great impact on the Knicks, although Stucky's passing strength is good, but the overall picture is slightly worse than Sessions, and the overall rhythm of the game is not as good as Sessions, but Starkey's scoring ability is definitely twice as good as Sessions.

So in terms of the threat on the offensive end, Sessions is far from being able to compare with Starki, so the threat after blocking and dismantling, Punchy's threat is also N times stronger than Sessions.

Starkey is a man who averages 21 points per game and is a quasi-All-Star, while Sessions' numbers look pretty good, but they aren't really good, because Sessions is so solid and doesn't have anything outstanding. But Sessions is now averaging 12.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game.

This number jù is actually quite good in a sense, although there are not many points, but at least it is double digits, although there are not many assists, but at least it is close to seven. The connecting point is rebounding, and as a point guard, being able to get 4.5 rebounds is already very awesome. Moreover, it is quite similar to Kidd's number jù in a sense. Kidd finished his second season with 16.6 points, 9.7 assists and 6.8 rebounds. This quasi-triple-double number is the reason why Kidd is called the king of triple-doubles, Kidd is the active player with the most triple-doubles, and James is the active player with the most quasi-triple-double jù. I don't know if this is God's punishment or not, James is always one rebound or an assist away from a triple-double, which is really helpless.

Sessions has always been known as Little Kidd, and Sessions has been following in Kidd's footsteps in every way. But there's still a long way to go.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Bosh felt unabated, and was still crazy to score points under Lefou's defense, the Raptors' two interior players were Bosh and Bagnani, both of whom were more outside-oriented interior players, so Landry was not so hard to defend Bagnani, in fact, strictly speaking, Bosh was the Raptors' big forward, and Landry should have defended Bosh, but in the first quarter of the game, Landry's defense was not as effective as Lefou's, Although Lefu is a slow-moving type of player, it should be more difficult to defend Bosh, but in this game, Bosh's outside feel is not particularly good, so in this game Bosh has been causing damage to the inside, but Lefou's defensive effect is better than Landry's defensive effect, so Thibodeau decisively decided to let Landry defend Bagnani and let Lefu defend Bosh.

In the second quarter of the game, Bosh scored 9 points again, and Bosh scored 28 points in the half, but although Bosh scored 28 points, the Raptors did not lead the Knicks by a large margin, because Starkey also scored 16 points in the half, and Love also scored 11 points in the half. In addition to the Knicks' players, the score of the two sides was 44:49 at halftime, and although the Raptors still lead, they were not a big lead.

In the third quarter, Bosh chose more to draw the Knicks' defensive attention and cut down on his shots.

So Bosh only scored 4 points in the third quarter, but the Raptors pulled the score away in the third quarter, and in the third quarter of the game, the Raptors mainly relied on Anthony Parker's play to be able to pull the score a little apart. Who is Anthony Parker? It's a combination of superstars Carmelo Anthony and Tony Parker. Therefore, it is understandable that the Valiant anomaly is abnormal.

Anthony Parker hit a burst shot in the third quarter to help the Raptors stretch the fork to 11 points.

But despite entering the fourth quarter with a double-digit advantage, the Raptors were unable to maintain that advantage until the end of the game.

In the middle of the fourth quarter of the game, it was still a crazy scoring by Starkey, which helped the Knicks successfully recover the score, and in the process of chasing points, Starkey did not get all the points, including Robinson and Love scored two points each.

However, despite chasing the score back, but in the last minute of the Knicks, the Knicks completely collapsed, Bosh in the last minute, first scored two points, and then another block blocked Stuckie, and once again attacked, Bosh succeeded again, and as a result, in the last minute, the Knicks were determined by Bosh himself.

In Toronto, the Knicks lost the game against the Raptors, and Starkey had a good game appearance, Starkey finished the game with 29 points, Robinson started the game with 8 points and 5 assists, and Stephen Jackson had 18 points and 8 rebounds. Lefu still didn't complete the feat of double twenty today. Although the number of rebounds reached 20 in the end, Lefu did not score. Lefu finished with 17 points and 22 rebounds.

Landry also had 14 points and 11 rebounds as a starter today. The Knicks' two interior players grabbed 33 rebounds, while the Raptors' side, Bosh grabbed 12 rebounds, but Bagnani, as a center, only grabbed 6 rebounds, which is a bit small. Mainly because Lefou's rebounding ability is relatively strong, and Bagnani's desire to control rebounds is not so strong.

On the Raptors' side, Bosh was the first contributor to the win, with 39 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists.

Anthony Parker scored mainly in the third quarter, scoring 21 points in the game, while another Raptors All-Star, Sean Marion, was also good, shooting a bit from the field, but it was not bad, with a double-double of 16 points and 15 rebounds.

Marion left Phoenix in a previous trade, and the Phoenix Suns are getting a bit of a mess.

O'Neal's saving zài makes the Suns absolutely unable to run the speed, but if you play a positional battle, then Nash's defensive problems will be magnified. That's a problem. However, these problems are all headaches for the Suns' management. Now that Marion is gone, the Suns' forward defense is even worse, and Marion's control of rebounds is also very good, as a forward player with a height of only 2.01 meters, Marion can average close to 10 rebounds per game. That's a pretty remarkable number. Being able to grab so many rebounds, on the one hand, is because Marion's arm span is relatively long, but at the same time, it is also because Marion's scramble is very positive, and in terms of rebounding, positive people will definitely grab more rebounds, which is certain.

However, Marion's rebounding ability is also a big help to the Raptors, because the Raptors' rebounding is not very good, and it is really useful to have such a big and small forward with strong rebounding ability, but unfortunately the Raptors can't keep this former All-Star player.

One win and one loss in two games against the Raptors. After these two games, the Knicks are about to face the Pacers. And the game against the Pacers. The Knicks are finally about to usher in the return of Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan's existence is self-evident for the important form of the Knicks, and now the Knicks' record is 37-18, still fourth in the East, this position looks difficult to move, whether it falls to the fifth in the East, or rises to the third in the East, it is not easy. Because the gap between them is not small, if you want to change the record before the end of the regular season, it will take a lot of effort, and the Knicks will now fight for the third place in the East to enter the playoffs. If the third quarter is like the playoffs, then in the second round, the Knicks can have home-court advantage. Home field advantage in the playoffs is really important.
