The Big Apple's comeback was perfect, and it helped New York City to a victory at the same time as it was statistically, and for New York, which continued to slump, a big win against the Bulls was a comeback, and from this moment on, they will go back to the original direction.

It's late December, and the Christmas atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, in the arena, on the street, all kinds of streamers are already fluttering in the wind, and the Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Knicks is the highlight of the year. Because of Li Chen's strong performance in the first game of his comeback, people are looking forward to the upcoming battle between Big Apple and Black Mamba.

Of course, before that, the Knicks still have to complete two games, as a warm-up game before the Christmas game, the team's players are all preparing in an intense and orderly manner, they want to wait until Christmas Eve with the highest momentum, and to achieve the highest momentum, a winning streak may be a good choice.

However, a little surprising is that before the game, the Knicks broke the news that Harrington, an important player of the team and a super scorer on the bench, unfortunately tore a leg muscle in an internal training game, although it is not a major injury, but it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least a month of recovery period, which is bad news for the Knicks who want to hit a three-game winning streak.

Some people may think that Harrington is just a substitute, and it is not a big deal to be injured, but in fact, this is not necessarily the case, in a long-term game in the NBA, the physical strength of players is sometimes more important than strength, and in order to maintain sufficient physical reserves, a scientific player rotation system is indispensable.

Looking at New York, they previously had Chandler, David Lee, Mirisic, Harrington and Chris Hunt, who could basically be ignored. The normal game is also played by David Lee and Chandler for about 30 minutes each.

The remaining Harrington and Mirisic share the remaining minutes, and because of D'Antoni's personal preference, Harrington's minutes are generally higher. Sometimes snatched from David Lee, sometimes from poor Mirisic's teeth, in short, Harrington is a valuable pawn in the Knicks.

Now that the piece is wounded, and New York doesn't have enough successors, that's the crux of the matter. D'Antoni doesn't trust Chris Hunt, who plays soy sauce, and even Mirisic is a little uneasy about trying to change himself.

In Harrington's absence, David Lee and Chandler are bound to take on more tasks. David Lee is okay to say, but Chandler's back injury is not guaranteed to recur one day, and if the season is reimbursed due to overuse, it is really like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

"The best thing to do now is to give Daktronics more trust!" Li Chen dismissed D'Antoni. "He's been training hard lately. I'm sure he won't let you down! He's telling the truth, since coming to New York, the parallel trade list has changed a lot, the most significant change is that the former nightclub prince suddenly found a girlfriend, which made his life and daily training much more stable than ever.

In Li Chen's words, such a big person, the days of drunkenness and gold fans have not been tasted, it is time to be more mature. Of course. Someone said these things without realizing that their body was just a 20-year-old kid.

"It's not enough, the rotation of three people is a bit tight. You don't know the rest of Chris Hunt, it's just a matter of numbers, Al is going to stop fighting for more than a month, in case any of these three people are injured again, the game really won't have to be played! ”

Mustache thinks long-term, "Maybe I should suggest that Dolan get me a reliable big man, compared to the weak inside, our outside line, especially the guard line, is a bit overcrowded, those guys have complained to me more than once about the problem of playing time!" ”

"Deal?" Li Chen calmed down and thought carefully about D'Antoni's words, as the core of the team, he has the right to make his own suggestions on the team's lineup adjustment, "What do you think of that big man named Andrew Jordan in Los Angeles, he is young enough, has excellent physical fitness, and can be trusted defensively, in my opinion, he can become as good as Tyson!" ”

The disciple's wishful thinking made the mustache roll his eyes in surprise, "That kid is the starting point of the Clippers, he has always been an important pawn of old Dunleavy after the reimbursement of the championship season, how could the Los Angeles people hand him over to us, maybe if we send Curry away, then it is possible, but this is obviously just a joke!" ”

Forehead! D'Antoni looks at the idiocy of the look is very embarrassing for someone, he just wants to rely on the experience of rebirth to help the team find a few good seedlings, but completely does not consider the possibility of a trade, the Clippers are now facing the same predicament as New York, after Griffin's reimbursement, their interior line is not sufficient, and trying to take Andrew Jordan is tantamount to a pipe dream.

"But this trade is still possible in the offseason, the Clippers have to make room for their top pick, Carman and Camby are both experienced veterans, and it would be the best fit to use them to partner with young players, and this kid named Andrew Jordan may have to leave."

The mustache unconsciously pulled the topic a little farther, but he quickly reacted, "I don't know how long we will have to wait in the offseason, our top priority is to stabilize the team's interior line, but if you trade it, you can't find a suitable partner for a while!" ”

Looking at D'Antoni's headache, Li Chen, who was still resentful of the other party's despises for him just now, was secretly arrogant, and he thought carefully about the way to mustache.

Although trading is a good thing, as in the current situation in New York, it is inevitable that a trade will be a loss, and the managers of the league are a group of old monsters, and they know best how to maximize their own interests. Although his little brother is not a great talent, he can't waste his value too much.

"Or else!" Li Chen said his thoughts, "Don't think about the transaction, isn't it just the pressure on the inside, if necessary, I can make a cameo appearance in the position of the power forward, and I can make up for the disadvantage of lack of height with arm span and strength." Sean would pretty much do it. Anyway, it's just a transition, it's not a big deal! ”

Someone remembered that he also seemed to have made cameo appearances at power forward with the Lakers, since there was a precedent. That proves that there is no problem with the technique, it doesn't matter if the physical strength is tight, anyway, I am young and strong, and I don't know if it is because of the reason of rebirth, my body does not seem to have the problem of physical reserves, no matter how fierce the competition, often as long as you sleep can recover as before.

Of course. This is currently only known to Li Chen, who has not played a few games in the Knicks, and has not been tired of a few games in the Lakers before. D'Antoni didn't know about the physical perversion of the Big Apple.

"You? No way! You've had enough tasks on the offensive end, and spending it on the inside will only waste your stamina for no reason! "The Big Apple is the most important part of my tactics, and the mustache can't be wasted easily. But not the Big Apple. Others will be able to do it naturally.

"Shaun can still do it, anyway, he's been moving forward and guard now, and after moving to power forward, he can still make a little room for the crowded guard line!"

The more D'Antoni thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, "It's really a bit inappropriate to trade now, not to mention that it will be robbed by others, and the key transaction will also have an impact on the internal stability of the team, for a team with goals." The player list is still a little more stable! ”

"Then it's up to Sean himself," Li Chen added. "He's the kind of sensible player, I'm sure he'll follow this arrangement, not to mention that for run-and-shoot tactics, a combination of one big and four small is not unacceptable, although he sacrifices the ability to attack the position, but he can bring us a higher speed of offensive and defensive rotation!"

The slightly high-end analysis shows someone's good tactical literacy, D'Antoni, as a coach who advocates running and shooting, is naturally familiar with his own tactical characteristics, although there is no problem with the current strength of the Knicks to play a positional offense, but D'Antoni's team still relies on running and bombing in the final analysis. As for the defense, it all depends on the individual performance of the players.

The change of the lineup was finally decided by Li Chen's proposal, Battier took over part of the team's interior tasks, while serving as Li Chen's first substitute, he also had to occasionally occupy the three-second zone at other times to compete with the opponent's big man for vital rebounds, for the Batman, who has always been mixed with small forwards, there is not much problem with a cameo in the big front.

On December 21, the penultimate game before Christmas Eve, the Knicks will face the Philadelphia 76ers today, and the game will also be played at the opponent's home court.

As a team in the Atlantic Division with the Knicks, the most important thing for the 76ers this summer is the return of answers, as Iverson was able to return to where he started his career after an unhappy season with the Pistons.

The slight difference is that last time, he came here with a dream, and this time, he is covered with scars, white eyes from Denver and Motor City, and unwilling to go through the journey.

The process of the game is a bit boring, there is a reason why the Pistons did not let Iverson start, and the decline of various physical functions has made him no longer the super rookie who dared to tease Jordan the Great, even if he is the eternal answer in the hearts of many fans, but in the face of cruel time, he has become an old player.

17 points and 2 assists! That's the stats Iverson handed over throughout the game, which is enough for an injury-ridden veteran player, but for the answer, such stats are unacceptable.

In comparison, Xiao Ai's performance is remarkable, and Iguodala, who seems to have a spring under his feet, staged a violent dunk more than once in this game, which made the home fans too addicted.

However, the repeated violent dunks also reflect the lack of offensive ability of this buddy, the shooting is unstable, the breakthrough basically relies on the body, he relies more on his defense, and now the 76ers have also become a defensive team in the league with the efforts of him and a good helper.

93:99！ Neither team scored too much, but the Knicks won the game by six points.

The performance of the Big Apple makes people feel that the years are urging people to grow old, and the era of the answer is gone. James, Roy, Durant, Li Chen...... There have been so many Mesozoic and new generation stars in this league that many people have even forgotten the existence of balloon stars like Iverson.

42 points, 2 assists and 8 rebounds! The Big Apple is playing with its talents, and what about the defensive team, I just want to score.

Two days later, Li Chen once again scored an astonishing high score in the game, shooting 35 shots in the game, hitting 19 times, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws, totaling 46 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds, plus a final shot, this time their opponent was the Pacers, and the Knicks narrowly won by 1 point.

In the new week, it is not surprising that a person's name appeared on the league's scoring list, and the Big Apple, who was successfully elected as the best of the week, won the title of temporary scoring champion again, and his average points per game soared above 30 in an instant for three consecutive high scores, and finally stopped at the 37.7 position, followed by the Thunder's Durant, but he only had 29.6 points, and the third was Anthony, and similarly, he failed to break 30!

The scoring list was occupied by Li Chen and Durant, two new stars, for a while, such a result makes people exclaim, the era of youth has come, and the Big Apple can't wait to prove to others that he has the ability to take over this league! (To be continued......)
