Chapter 059: Gloomy clouds

After the Phoenix brawl, the Knicks, who have been smooth sailing since the start of the game, instantly ushered in their darkest period, with a total of 14 games in January, except for the 6 games in which Li Chen participated, the remaining few games, rotten apples refreshed people's lower limit again and again.

On November 15, the Knicks challenged the Oklama Thunder away, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the game from beginning to end.

At 88:129, New York lost to the Thunder by 41 points, and the Big Apple, which lost its entire main lineup, set the largest point difference so far this season, and the Suns' 37-point shame only existed for one day.

If you think that the loss to the Thunder is just an exception, you are very wrong, and the New Yorkers have refreshed the bottom line of fans time and time again.

On November 17, the Knicks hosted last season's defending champion Lakers, and the expected-for-tat between the Big Apple and Kobe Bryant turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Of course, the game was not bad enough to break the record for the largest point margin again, perhaps because the Lakers took Li Chen into account, and they didn't intend to let the new team that won the championship last season lose too badly.

The Lakers' starting five Tigers all went off the pitch after only one quarter, and Zen master Phil Jackson took this as a rare opportunity to work out as a substitute, and some players such as Mbenga and Shannon Brown who usually couldn't play all got a lot of playing time.

But even if the Lakers released water like this, the Knicks still lost. 103:114, bench vs. substitute, New York ended in a complete defeat. It's different from the group on the other side. There is also a group of bigwigs sitting on the bench to recuperate, but there is only himself on his side, and the lack of confidence has put the Knicks at a disadvantage from beginning to end.

On November 20, New York ushered in the third game after the brawl, and the comeback of Babyface and David Lee and Battier made this game attract the attention of many fans. Many people feel that New York still has the strength to fight, after all, they are only facing the underdog Timberwolves.

But the truth is quite the opposite, given the contempt that New Yorkers have for themselves. The Timberwolves, who were waiting for work, burst out with strong combat power from the beginning, and the combination of Kevin Love and Al Jefferson played the Knicks' weak interior line.

Because of Chandler's absence, D'Antoni had to send a combination of David Lee and Jamilisic, and it has to be said that the former is an attacking success. After Li Chen's restraint was gone. With 19 points and 11 rebounds, David Lee has become the Knicks' top scorer today.

Of course, the excellent data of the double-double did not stop the fans from slandering David Lee, look at Al Jefferson opposite him, the data of 34 points and 16 rebounds is completely at the level of an ancient beast, and David Lee's nihilistic defense made him a cash machine for the Timberwolves.

Lefou's performance was also good, with 21 points and 12 rebounds obviously much more brilliant than David Lee. Even if it still hasn't gotten rid of the reputation of data brushes, the Timberwolves are still the winning side anyway. Because of victory, people can ignore a lot of things.

At 101:123, the Knicks lost to their opponents by a huge margin of more than 20 points, and after only three games, they did what the Big Apple did not do - three straight losses.

Do you think that's the end of it? It's obviously not that simple, the losing streak continues, and on November 22, the Knicks challenged the Cavaliers away, and the little emperor used a gorgeous solo show as a meeting gift to New Yorkers.

52 points! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that James's performance is aimed at the big apple, watching the records that belong to him be bagged by the big apple one after another, the little emperor who has always been the pride of the sky can't help but be a little jealous, and it is precisely because of this jealousy that he is determined to compare the big apple in front of the public.

Even if they lose, the New Yorkers don't forget to belittle their opponents, and the New York Times devotes a full page to despise James's scoring behavior.

"Yes, we've lost four in a row, but we still have a commendable past, what do you have? Some people scored 52 points in four quarters, and I would say the Big Apple was able to do that in just three quarters. Do you want to beat the Big Apple? Or maybe you can't wait to get a taste of being humiliated by the Big Apple? I'm sure fans all over the Big Apple are looking forward to that day! ”

For James, the game against the Knicks was a bit of a loss, and while his 52-point scoring allowed him to add another piece to his honor book, he was despised by the entire league for it, something he hadn't predicted before.

The Cavaliers defeated the Knicks 131-109, and after a three-game losing streak, New York once again broke the losing streak this season.

On Nov. 23, the Knicks had their first back-to-back of the season as promised, losing to the Celtics after losing to the Cavaliers by a big margin yesterday and losing four straight games.

In the face of the Green Shirts who swept the East with the return of the king this season, the Knicks, who lacked the backbone, had no strength to fight at all, except for the first quarter when they could rely on their young advantage to fight the opponent for a while, the rest of the time, the Knicks played no tactics at all.

The advantage of experience and quality defense allowed the Greenshirts to beat the Knicks like adults bullying children, and in just half time, they had already taken over the game.

At 116:92, the footsteps of the New Yorkers' losing streak still resounded throughout the league.

On Nov. 25, still at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks completed their six-game losing streak without any suspense, and it must be mentioned that the Big Apple finally appeared in the arena.

Perhaps because the team's losing streak has caused some guilt in someone's heart, in this game, the big apple in the suit perfectly played the role of cheerleader, in his cheering. Facing the sworn enemy Phoenix Suns, the Knicks' lads erupted with surprising strength, of course. And it was only the first half.

The Knicks without the Big Apple and the Suns without the Little S are not on the same level at all, and the Canadian baby's threading allows the Suns to take control of the initiative from the beginning of the game, and whenever the Knicks get up, Nash will not hesitate to use his goals to extinguish the opponent's offensive arrogance.

Losing Xiao Si, the Sun is still the fire phoenix that shines in the Alliance, because they still have Nash, and they lose the Big Apple. The Knicks were just the original rotten apple, because they had nothing but Li Chen.

Seven wins in a row! New York is heading for their next goal. After the Suns, their opponents are the Eastern Conference Raptors, a passing team.

Although there was still a little hope for this game among New York fans before the game, it was not long before the game that the Dragon King used his strong performance to dispel many people's luck.

Yes. He had neither a strong body. There is no core temperament, and even ugly, Bosh has long been accustomed to people's eyes, but none of this can hide his strength, and he is undoubtedly one of the top power forwards in the league from the 03 platinum generation.

With a soft feel and a conscientious professional attitude, compared to David Lee, the Raptors' boss doesn't know how many streets are stronger.

With 33 points and 14 rebounds, the empty interior defense once again became the Knicks' fatal wound. The Dragons' call on the inside finally ended the losing streak for the Raptors, although at the same time. They handed their opponent a magnificent seven-game losing streak, but the league has always been the winner's game.

Against the backdrop of seven consecutive defeats, the New Yorkers' self-blackening has become a bright landscape in the league.

"David Lee and Harrington, this is probably the longest-range interior pair in the league, and if the league bans the big man from the three-second zone, the world will be a better place;

Battier and Hughes, without a doubt, are the strongest outside defensive combinations in the league, but I want to give Mr. David Stern a suggestion to separate offense and defense in the future, so that at least we can win half of the game;

Curry, can you find a rookie who is more talented than him, of course, I'm talking about three-point ability, and you are not allowed to count the big apple, to be honest, his three-point is really accurate, but there is a little bit of a pity, we want to jump directly to a few years later, but God doesn't allow it! ”

Since the start of the game, New York has played a total of 13 games, and the record is 4-9, ranking third from the bottom in the East.

Thinking about the top five power rankings in the past, New York fans were full of emotion for a while, once upon a time, they thought that they were out of a difficult brother like New Jersey, but the truth is that they did the same, but overnight, everything changed.

With the passionate duo of Big Apple and Chandler suspended at the same time, the Knicks lost their most relied on offense in addition to their most powerful defensive barrier, and the 59 points seemed to be the last bit of glory for New York, but the only thing they could be concerned about was their losing streak behind the Nets.

November 30 was destined to be a big day, with all eyes of the league focused on Madison Square Garden in New York, and so much attention was being given to a team that was still on a losing streak for a number of other reasons.

The New Jerseys have become the opponent of the New York Knicks today, and if there is any team that has been more spectacular than the Knicks' losing streak so far, it is obvious that only the Nets are left, although the Wizards have a worse record than the Knicks, but they have lost more evenly, and they have not surpassed the pace of New York in the pace of losing streaks.

One is the Knicks, who have lost seven in a row, and the other is the Nets, who are still winning 0 games, and both teams are eager to end their dark losing streak against their opponents.

If New York loses, there's nothing to say, 8 consecutive defeats, D'Antoni has a headache. And if New Jersey loses, the result is also clear, with 13 consecutive defeats, and the Nets continue to move in a direction that surpasses history.

For the coaches of both teams, it was a make-or-lose game. Because most people have expressed great interest in this game, the league has deliberately scheduled today's game to be broadcast live nationally.

"The Battle of Dignity!" The New York Times made an embarrassing headline about losing to a group of hillbillies and an eight-game losing streak, and there was no reason for Big Apple fans to accept the result.

The recent losing streak has led to growing complaints from fans, and if this one loses to the Nets, D'Antoni's coaching position will be a little dangerous, and in this fan-oriented league, firing an unpopular head coach is just a normal thing to do.

Forty-eight minutes was not a long game, and the cheers in Madison Square Garden ended the game, but thankfully, the Knicks finally won and the New Yorkers ushered in a rare victory after a miserable seven-game losing streak.

"Congratulations New York!" The headline of the Los Angeles Times may seem like a joke, but the hard-won victory has left New Yorkers with a lot to ignore, and the only thing they remember is their victory over New Jersey.

"Goodbye! Losing streak! In the meantime, good luck to New Jersey! (To be continued......)
