Chapter 538: Sudden Increase in Strength (First Update)
For the Knicks' players, the scarcity is their backbone, and as long as the scarcity is still there, they have the confidence and confidence to trample any team under their feet...... After all, since the beginning of this season, almost every strong team has played all over again, lost and won more.
And, they know better than anyone that the Knicks haven't really hit the ground yet.
No one knows how good the Knicks are at giving it their all, not even the Knicks themselves.
But they know one thing, and that is that the Knicks are strong, better than any team!
This kind of self-confidence comes from chic, but also from the gags since this season, although the Knicks are always in the wind and rain in the eyes of the outside world, but they have actually been monolithic internally, and the team's tacit understanding has reached the point of unpredictability in the nonsense again and again.
Although the so-called son of the tiger and leopard has not yet formed a pattern, he has the air of eating cattle, which is the case.
Although the Knicks have never entered the playoff stage, although they have not yet won the recognition of the world, they already have the ambition and ambition to devour the entire league.
The game against the Magic was coming up quickly, unlike the Magic's cautious walking on thin ice. The Knicks, who are sitting on the home court, played wide open and closed, and as soon as Xiao Sprinkle came up, he swept the Magic team's restricted area to pieces, and Dwight Howard, the cornerstone of the ace core defense, was directly made three fouls by Dash, and Dwight Howard had to be pressed on the bench, which was a long, long time, and all the tactics of the Knicks were directed to the Magic's restricted area.
Without Dwight Howard, how could the Magic box be able to withstand the onslaught led by Xiao Po? After the first quarter, the Magic trailed by 15 points and scored 17 points in the first quarter...... For a dashing performance of 17 points in a single quarter. Everyone didn't show any surprise. But Knicks fans were shocked by the fact that the Knicks scored 38 points as a team. Xiao Xiao seems to have really become a team with the rest of the Knicks...... Under the leadership of the sharp sword of Xiao Scar. The Knicks unleashed an all-crushing offensive firepower!!
So, during the first interlude, ESPN praised the Knicks to the sky, and the praise was skyrocketing!!
"The Knicks' strength in the first quarter was really amazing, from the chic to the entire Knicks, the coordination was flawless. The Magic behaved like a kid who had just learned to walk in front of them. If the Magic vs. the Knicks in the first round of this year, I think it's inevitable that there will be a sweep. The Knicks have completely grasped the weakness of Orlando, and Xiao is the killer god of the Magic team who can completely destroy him! ”
The Knicks finally showed their fangs before the playoffs, and their internal conflicts began to melt down after a photo and a party. In the first quarter, they finally showed the cooperation and strength they deserved. I think the Knicks will be the most powerful spoiler in this year's playoffs...... Maybe a lot of strong teams will crawl at their feet! ”
"It turns out that the phrase 'we want a championship' shouted at the beginning of the season was not a whim, and I thought that the Knicks had been revising their goals. But I didn't expect that... Unexpectedly, the Knicks still want a championship, or their ultimate goal is always a championship. Reggie Miller sighed faintly: "Chic is really memorable and powerful!! ”
After the game started, Xiao Wan did not continue to stay in the lineup.
The less dashing Knicks did have some decline in offensive firepower, but what made the Magic team regret and despair was that the Knicks did not fall quickly, and the offensive firepower still had a stable output. And the pressure on the defensive end is starting to mount...... The combination and coordination of Knicks players on the defensive end can be described as dense seams. It's getting more and more like the Magic are getting into a tough bag of marijuana and can't shoot that damn basketball into the basket again!
The more the Magic struggled, the weaker they became. In the second half of the second quarter, Shaw replaced Tracy Maddy on the court. The Magic team, which was originally in the defensive bag, instantly became hob meat, being constantly tumbling and chopping and cutting.
So, by halftime, the Magic were already trailing by 31 points.
The Magic team is not a dirt chicken, but it is clear that they were beaten into a dirt chicken.
Although the reason the Magic are so far behind may be that Dwight Howard got four fouls early, and the halftime combined was less than six minutes. But... The man who got him into foul trouble was a Knicks player.
Before entering the tunnel of the players, Stan Van Gundy glanced sadly at the large screen above him...... He felt sad in his heart, and he had a feeling of melancholy.
If before the game, he thought the Magic would have little hope if they met the Knicks in the first round. So now, there is only despair left in his heart! The Knicks were much more powerful than he thought, and the chic was much more powerful than he thought. On top of that, the person in the league who knows the Magic's weaknesses the best is Chi, which is why they swept the Magic last year.
Last summer, he was able to lead an old and sick Knicks to sweep the Magic out of the tournament.
This year, the Knicks are strong and strong, what else can stop them?
Stan Van Gundy couldn't think of anything else to stop the Knicks.
So, he was desperate in his heart!
This kind of desperation has never happened against the Cleveland Cavaliers, against the Boston Celtics, against the Los Angeles Lakers, against the Dallas Mavericks, against the San Antonio Spurs. Although these names are more like a strong team, they are even more pronounced when they are pronounced.
"The wolf is really coming!" ESPN's anchor said to the camera at halftime that he was very shocked, he was even more shocked than the fans in front of the TV, because ESPN rarely broadcasts the Knicks live in the United States, and the Knicks were terrible like a piece of shit when the Knicks were broadcast live last time, but now they have such amazing combat power, and even when Xiao Xiao is not playing, he can still play on a par with the Magic team, and wait until Xiao Xiao plays. Forcibly ascend two or three levels in an instant.
"The chemistry and chemistry that the Knicks showed in these two quarters completely turned the imagination of the whole league on their own. It seems like overnight they've become omnipotent superheroes. I guess the teams that are aiming for the championship right now can't help but shudder, right? Before tonight, no one would have thought the Knicks would be a championship candidate. And now they have to face up to the problem, just... Is it too late? Jeff Van Gundy also said with 'palpitations'.
"For this kind of team that suddenly becomes stronger, other strong teams have actually fallen behind. I don't think anyone would have guessed that the Knicks would be so terrifying at the last minute, right? Speaking of which, thanks to that photo and the party incident, if it weren't for the excitement of these two events, maybe the Knicks wouldn't be where they are today, right? It looks like this year's playoffs are going to be stormy again!! Reggie Miller said very seriously. But the tone of his voice still couldn't help but tremble a little. Obviously, he was still shocked by the fact that the Knicks had changed so dramatically.
"So...... Could there be another possibility? What about the disunity and disharmony in the past, maybe it was just deliberately created by the Knicks to confuse the opponent? The host of EPSN analyzed the problem from another angle, because from the results, the Knicks suddenly exploded and became stronger in the last dozen games of the regular season, which was in their best interest. The shocking effect on other strong teams is self-evident, and it is too late for the strong team to overturn the previous judgment and re-establish a new estimate at this time!!
"No way!!" Jeff Van Gundy said with great certainty.
"Yes, it can't be." Reggie Miller is also serious: "No matter how you look at it, the previous strife and conflict of the Knicks don't look like a fake. If it's really fake, then it can only be said that their acting skills are really good. ”
"That kind of conflict happens very naturally. And very emotional. But as Charles Barkley said, their conflict is not a fundamental contradiction. So it can be reconciled. And just right, at the end of the season, these two things happened, and these two things promoted the resolution of the conflict, so we began to see this Knicks full of energy. Jeff Van Gundy sighed with emotion: "It seems that God is really good for the Knicks!" ”
"I guess the person I'm most worried about right now is Kenny Smith, right?" Reggie Miller said suddenly.
Then, very quickly, there was a happy laugh in the studio.
Although T-NT and ESPN are in competition, the shocking gamble between Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley still keeps them very concerned, after all, it is one of the few flashpoints.
Before the laughter was over, the director had already switched commercials. First, the advertising time is up, and secondly, there is too much publicity about the opponent's commentator, which is still a little not good.
EPSN may have this avoidance, but netizens on the Internet do not.
They're making fun of it.
"I think the most flabbered person right now is Kenny Smith, who must be lying on his couch in a daze, looking at the TV screen, not knowing if he is dreaming or real...... Maybe he'll give himself two slaps in the face to make sure the picture he just saw is really the Knicks, right? ”
"No, you're using the wrong adjective. Kenny Smith is certainly not in a hurry, the most scrambling should be the bookmakers, who are certainly adjusting the odds quickly. ”
"Damn, Kenny Smith must be cursing the odds. Because the bookmaker can change the odds, but he can't, if the Knicks win the championship, he will have to transfer $3 million from his account to Charles Barkley's account! ”
"I can't wait to open T-NT and see Charles Barkley's stinking face!!"
"Why do you think the Knicks are going to win a championship? They just played half a game against the Magic, huh? The league is not only the Magic, but also the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Cavaliers, Celtics, these teams are obviously closer to the championship!! ”
"yes, it's only been one game, isn't it a bit arbitrary?"
“………”
Soon, the discussion on the Internet turned into a refutation of whether the Knicks could win the championship or not, and the two sides elaborated their arguments and conducted confrontation analysis.
For netizens, this matter is just a discussion after dinner.
But for Kenny Smith, that's three million dollars!!
Once lost!
Then it's definitely a pain that is more painful than the pain of the skin!!
