Chapter 436: The Unknown Is Interesting

The unknown future is the most exciting.

After winning the Bobcats, the Knicks' schedule was miserable. Because the day after the game with the Bobcats, not only did he have to play the Nets back-to-back away, but he also started a difficult journey of 5 consecutive away games.

Unfortunately, the luck is that there are still more opponents in the five-game road streak against weaker teams, and the Knicks will play a tough game against the Cavaliers on the last away road.

However, although the Nets have been terrible this season, at least Carter is still there, and Devin Harris has also played his peak this season and successfully entered the All-Star bench.

This season, Devin Harris has been able to average 21.3 points, 6.9 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. It's a big improvement from last season.

Carter, on the other hand, showed a little bit of oldness, his style of play was more biased towards the outside, the three-point shooting rate had improved, and the number of three-point shots had increased a lot, but the shooting percentage had declined.

This proves that Carter's threat on the inside is decreasing, and his ability to attack with the ball has weakened due to the decline in athleticism. However, after all, it is only a little sign, and it may be that Carter is trying to change his style of play, so even the current Carter is the player that many teams want.

Maybe it's because of back-to-back, the whole Knicks team was in a mess in this game, as if they couldn't concentrate.

Although Chen Jiyuan himself tried his best to help the team, he was indeed alone.

Chen Jiyuan scored 48 points in the whole game, and the score once again exceeded 40. But the Knicks' second-highest scorer is Kevin Love. In this game, Lefu scored 12 points. It was the second-highest score for the Knicks.

On the Nets' side, it was more explosive, with Devin Harris scoring 35 points and 10 assists. Vince Carter had 25 points along with nine rebounds. Brook Lopez had 16 points and six rebounds.

Brook Lopez, as a rookie, has also played well this year, and now in the rookie rankings, Brook Lopez is also ranked relatively high, and now Brook Lopez is ranked 6th on the best rookie list. He averaged 12.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.

At the end of the season, the number one player on the rookie list is OJ Mayo, no matter what the future of OJ Mayo is, but at least the player who averaged 19.1 points, 3.2 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in his rookie season is normal, and it is normal to rank first on the rookie list, and Derrick Rose is followed by OJ Mayo. In fact, the rankings of Derrick Rose and O.J. Mayo are not so fixed, and the rankings of the two have been changing back and forth for so long.

Derrick Rose, as the top pick of this year's class, averaged 16.4 points, 6.8 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game.

This number jù is also very rare for rookies, but after all, it is the champion. Although there are many champions who have not been played, the chances of champions becoming superstars are also very high.

Knicks' Kevin Love, as a rookie in the same class, has a lot more playing time in this life than in the previous life, and the Lefu in the previous life has not had much playing time because of Al Jefferson's savings. Therefore, the average time per game can only be 25.3 minutes per game, such time, Lefu in the previous life can average 11.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, and Lefu in this life, so far the average playing time per game can reach 36.2 minutes, Lefou's number of jù this season has also improved compared with the previous life. So now Lefu can also rank fifth on the rookie list. Lined up in this position. It's not bad for Lefou, but it's not a bad thing. After all, Lefu was selected with the fifth pick.

Lefu has averaged 11.8 points per game this season, and the playing time has greatly increased, but Lefou's score has not been greatly improved, mainly because the current Lefu offensive end is more likely to be close to the basket, and Chen Jiyuan occupies a lot of interior offensive shots every game, and the number of shots will naturally be few. However, this season's Lefou's shooting rate is also relatively high, and the shooting rate of Lefu in his rookie season in the previous life was 45.9%. And in this life, Lefou's hit rate is 50.2%. Fifty percent passed.

However, Lefou's ability to rank fifth in the rookie list is mainly due to Lefou's deterrence on the defensive end. At the same time, Lefou's rebounding ability is also a big basis for him to rank in this position.

Love is now averaging 12.4 rebounds per game. For a rookie, this is already a difficult number. The last man to score double-digit rebounds in his rookie season was Dwight Howard. However, Howard was only able to get 10.0 rebounds in his rookie season. And Idle Le Fu has already got 12.4 rebounds, which is a very surprising number. Love showed his ability to rebound in his first season.

In the game with the Nets, the Knicks lost unexpectedly, and then, sadly, the Knicks just became third in the East, and instantly fell to fourth again.

After losing to the Nets, although the away game was really hateful and uncomfortable, which made the Knicks' whole team more tired, but after losing to the Nets, the whole team accepted the anger of head coach Thibodeau, which was really uncomfortable.

So, in the next game, after receiving three consecutive away games, the Knicks managed to win three in a row.

Won against the Bucks, Pistons and Timberwolves. After three straight wins, the Knicks' record is 46-19. The current Knicks have completed the number of wins last season. There have been 46 victories. The Magic also have a 46-19 record. The results of both teams have become the same again.

On March 15th, both the Knicks and the Magic will have a game, and the opponents are strong opponents. The opponent of the Magic is the Utah Jazz. The Knicks' opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers. These two games will temporarily determine the records of the two teams.

The game against the Cavaliers was the end of this back-to-back away streak. This back-to-back road trip got off to a bad start, losing the first game to the Nets, and now, naturally, the Knicks are hoping for a good finish.

So, in a sense, for the Knicks' players, this game is more important.

However, relative to being beaten, the significance of this game is that Chen Jiyuan returned to Cleveland. For Chen Jiyuan, the feelings of Cleveland fans are still very different, some people will call for Chen Jiyuan, but at the same time, most people will boo Chen Jiyuan, mainly because Chen Jiyuan's departure is Chen Jiyuan's own decision, not the team wants to trade, this, Chen Jiyuan does not intend to let the team's management be blackened, Chen Jiyuan is also very straightforward to stand in front of the media to admit this, he admitted that he wants to pursue a higher position, and wants to seek a team that values him more. That's why they are looking for a deal. At that time, the news of the feud between Chen Jiyuan and James spread throughout the league in an instant, but of course it was all rumors, and both Chen Jiyuan and James stood up to explain this matter.

Chen Jiyuan's departure, no matter what, is still more harmful to Cleveland fans, because Chen Jiyuan does not leave, the Cleveland Cavaliers must still be the most powerful contenders for the championship, and even two consecutive championships or three consecutive championships or something is possible, although the current Cavaliers are also very tough. Being able to drop not much after the main star is gone, it can also be said that it is a success for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But anyway, when Chen Jiyuan returned here, he was not so popular, although because of Chen Jiyuan's frankness, some Cleveland people did not hate Chen Jiyuan, but they still couldn't change the overall situation and change the minds of most Cleveland Cavaliers fans who hated Chen Jiyuan. Although Chen Jiyuan helped them get their first championship ring. But Chen Jiyuan's "betrayal" still made them angry.

This time I went home like this, no matter what, Chen Jiyuan is used to it. The first time I heard the Cleveland fans booing him so hard, I was still angry, but I became calmer and calmer, and by the time I was able to see the Cleveland Cavaliers fans at ease. Although they used to love him so much, if Chen Jiyuan was no longer here, no matter what the reason was, Chen Jiyuan would become their enemy.

In the game with the Cavaliers, before the game, Chen Jiyuan said to his teammates with great interest, if you win this game, go back to New York and invite you to play casually, and go out at night to have crazy hi.

For Chen Jiyuan, this is just a little money, the important thing is that the whole team can go out together to play and exchange feelings, such a continuous away game is very tiring, and it is quite good to relax occasionally.

The rest of the Knicks were naturally not happy.

There is a slight difference between this game and the previous one, that is, Sessions has returned, and it is said that Tony Allen will also be back soon, although Sessions is not able to play now, but now Sessions is already training, and Sessions who are training for recovery is obviously not coming back for a long time. This is undoubtedly a great thing for the Knicks.
