Chapter 610
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Raptors couldn't find a chance to turn the tables for a long time, and finally had to silently give up this sad game.
At full game, the Knicks won by a wide margin.
A hearty victory made the fans look forward to the prospects of the Knicks again.
Especially Chen Jiyuan's look at the return, which instantly resurrected the Knicks again.
The Knicks won the game against the Raptors with a score of 122-95, announcing that the Knicks, who had lost three in a row, were gone and a thing of the past.
And just after the Knicks won against the Raptors, Love finally began to carry out recovery training, but the effect was not very good, according to the team doctor, it still needs a little time to recover to the NBA basketball level.
Now Lefu is also trying to get himself back to shape, but this thing is not achieved overnight. Chen Jiyuan also told Lefu that he must come back when his physical condition fully allows, and he must remember what is important, it is just a regular season, and the importance for the Knicks is just that, but the playoffs are different, if you come back in a hurry at this time, resulting in not being able to play all your strength in the playoffs, it will be fatal.
Therefore, whether it is Sessions or Lefou, Chen Jiyuan's attitude on the comeback is very clear, and he must fully recover before he can make a comeback. The regular season was just for the Knicks to practice. The playoffs are the battleground.
This year, this year, Chen Jiyuan has great hopes, and whether he can win the championship this year is a very important thing for Chen Jiyuan.
Under the leadership of the recovered Chen Jiyuan, the Knicks continued to move forward steadily.
And at this time, there was a piece of news that shocked more than N people in the alliance. The management of the Nets, openly began to admit that the team began to sell.
Ratna's Urban Forest began a public sale of its stake in the Nets. This is a surprise for a lot of people, and a little bit of it should be like this.
Because the current Nets are already a completely bad team, the bad can't be rotten, if the owner of the team doesn't want to run the team, then it's possible, but, this time period is a little wrong, it's in the middle of the season, such a thing will obviously make the team extremely turbulent.
But as far as the Nets' record is concerned, it doesn't seem to have much to affect.
With only two wins, they don't need to worry about anything to lose. That's why the owner of the Nets dared to make such an open-minded decision to sell the team.
Regarding this news, Chen Jiyuan felt that it was completely neat.
It was at this time, after the end of the season, that in April, the Russian super-local owner bought the Nets.
Prokhorov first bought 80% of the Nets, and then continued to invest money until he completely controlled the Nets.
After that, the Nets have changed dramatically, first the Nets attracted Deron Williams, a super-first-class guard, then Lopez grew up, then traded Joe Johnson, and finally brought in two of the Celtics' Big Three, Pierce and Garnett. Although these things are done little by little, it can reflect the Nets owner's love for basketball, this team, and the pursuit of championships.
And now, with Mirisic, the Nets may be much more attractive to the star.
Mirisic is in the Nets, just becoming the leader of the team, the data has indeed improved significantly, but the contribution to the team's victory is not improved for the time being, or even slightly decreased, it is obvious that Mirisic is not used to the position of the team's boss.
Both in every way.
So, when a team is in front of you with another team that is really good and has volunteered to be the team's second leader, how can you afford to miss it?
What Chen Jiyuan is not sure about now is whether the owner of the Nets will still buy the Nets like he did in his previous life, but Chen Jiyuan feels that eight to nine is not far from ten, and there should be no problem with this. The question is what Prokhorov will do with Milicic's Nets and the next reinforcements.
This is the issue that Chen Jiyuan is most concerned about.
If this local tyrant really burns infinite money and forms an extremely luxurious lineup of the team, it is really not good.
However, while worried, Chen Jiyuan is quite looking forward to it, and he is very much looking forward to the Nets becoming a team that snipes the Knicks in the East.
Chen Jiyuan didn't want to live in an east that was really weak. What Chen Jiyuan wants is a stimulating life, a competition that can make people excited.
The Cavaliers are not as good as a year after year, and the team's management is like water in their heads, and they don't do business at all that normal people would do. It's about pointing to James to make money for them. It doesn't matter so much else.
And the Magic have always had a hard time getting along with the team's leading stars. Howard still wants to leave the same thing as in that world.
As for the Celts, they are getting older every year, this is the law of nature. Sooner or later, they will fade out of sight and become a thing of the past. Therefore, Chen Jiyuan is the least worried about the Celtics, although the Celtics are still the strongest team in the East.
After the Knicks defeated the Nets, they played two games with the Pistons, one in New York and one in Detroit.
Regardless of where the game was played, the Knicks won the game without any suspense.
After a three-game losing streak, the Knicks regrouped and went on a six-game winning streak.
And after that, the Knicks finally had a pretty big challenge. That's the game against the Lakers.
It's really stressful. The Lakers are still the top in the West, with a record of 34 wins and 9 losses, the Lakers are very strong this season, and Chen Jiyuan must admit this, Kobe Bryant needless to say, Kobe has been at his peak in recent years, not only is there basically no injury, but also can maintain a very good state.
Then there's Gasol, who is still so stable that it feels like he hasn't done anything, but in fact he's already got 20+10 stats.
What's more, now the Lakers' interior line is no longer simply supported by Gasol.
Bynum has also grown up this season, playing quite well, and, most importantly, at the small forward position, the Lakers have got a defensive stalwart, Artest. Ron Artest, who has not yet changed his name to Charity, World and Peace.
Ron Artest was once a pretty good small forward as well. Although the current Ron Artest is no longer at his peak, his defense is still very good, Ron Artest will defend Pierce, and Kobe Bryant will not have to defend the Celtics' strongest attack point. You'll be able to conserve more stamina to attack. If the Lakers had Ron Artest last season, then the Lakers really have a good chance of winning last year's championship.
The reinforcement of the small forward position is the fundamental reason for the rise of the Lakers' strength.
Faced with this weakness is very small, and the Lakers are not looking for a catch, the Knicks are also very troubled.
However, Chen Jiyuan knows that if he wants to win the championship this year, then the Lakers must be a hurdle that needs to be bought. The Lakers will definitely make it to the Finals. And the Knicks had to beat the Lakers to win the championship. Therefore, even if the Lakers are strong, the Knicks and Chen Jiyuan will defeat him.
Like the Knicks, the Lakers are actually quite stressed.
The battle within the Lakers is very fierce, and the old Buss is still there, and he can still hold the court. But Busas Jr. and Jeanie Bass have almost gotten into trouble to the point of affecting the team's management. The two of them are basically completely unable to work together at all.
And this season's salary cap is $53.6 million. This line is a bit low. And this is very bad news for the Lakers.
Because the Lakers now have a total salary of $91.38 million. The luxury tax trigger is $65 million. The Lakers' salary exceeded $26.38 million, so, according to the regulations, the Lakers need to pay $26.39 million to the league management for nothing.
Such a penalty is very severe. Having lost more than $20 million in vain, no one will be happy.
However, in this context, if the Lakers can win the championship, then the money is nothing. It's all worth it.
However, if the Lakers don't win the championship, then the Buss family also needs to think about it. For so many years, I have paid so much luxury tax every year, but I have not achieved anything at all.
Since the departure of the Sharks, Kobe Bryant has been the core player of the team and has paid a lot of luxury books every year. While the past two years have been worth the money, the Lakers have seen the hope of a championship, and even for two years in a row, they are close at hand. However, in the near future, if the thing does not arrive, he just does not get it. Therefore, the Lakers still need to work hard.
If you make it to the finals again this year, then you lose. From the perspective of the old Bass, there will definitely not be any cuts to the team. But this is not necessarily the case with Bass Jr.
The long-term vision has to be old-timers in the end.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and this is not a joke.
The pressure on the Knicks mainly stemmed from the bullish pen that Chen Jiyuan bragged about at that time.
The Knicks and Lakers game officially started on January 22, 2010, but on January 21, the Knicks rushed to Los Angeles.
And on the afternoon of the 21st, Chen Jiyuan received an invitation, which was the request of Old Bass, and Old Man Bass invited Chen Jiyuan to have dinner together. This face is not insignificant.
In any case, this face Chen Jiyuan has to continue.
