Chapter 132: The Best of the Week

With the win over the Thunder, the Knicks had to rest for a day before facing the menacing Dallas Mavericks at home.

Since losing to the Philadelphia 76ers at the start of the season, the Knicks have won seven in a row.

In addition to giving the team plenty of self-confidence, the winning streak also brought extreme fatigue and a sense of pride and underestimation of the team

The Knicks' players forgot about it, except for the Spurs and Jazz, which are considered strong teams, the other teams are all fringe teams in the playoffs, like the Thunder, Bucks, and Bobcats are all fish belly in the league, and they are working hard for next year's draft from the beginning, and defeating such a team does not mean that the Knicks are a strong team.

After nine games, Zhang Yu didn't encounter any rookie walls, but he couldn't keep up. What would a lack of body look like? Referring to Yao Ming in the fourth quarter, he knew that what was most affected was his shooting percentage and breakthrough efficiency.

The Mavericks used Josh Howard's misplaced defense in this game, hoping to use the defensive swingman to limit Zhang Yu, who has been in hot form lately.

Josh Howard's prodigious reach and speed, defensive awareness, and his ability to disrupt Zhang with speed, reach, and bounce have been in his prime this year.

It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks are the first team in the league to adopt a trap tactic against Zhang Yu. Kidd's more than ten years of experience makes him know how to wrap Zhang Yu at the most appropriate time, with the cooperation of the old demon, Zhang Yu's game is sluggish, unable to break in, and the shooting percentage is not high due to the double impact of the body and Josh Howard, and he only scored 9 points and 4 assists in the whole game, and did not score a double-double for the first time since entering the NBA.

Nowitzki, the star of the Mavericks, showed his strength as a Hall of Fame superstar today, and in the final quarter of the stalemate, he continued to score points with his signature "Golden Rooster Independence" to let the Knicks swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home.

Zhang Yu was sluggish in this game, and he never found a way to crack the opponent's bag, and the Knicks were immediately leaderless and were beaten back to their original form.

Crawford is good at offense, Wallace is good at defending, and David Lee needs someone to feed the ball, once Zhang Yu is restricted, the Knicks don't have an axis that can connect the team together, and they can't gather energy in one place, and failure is inevitable!

After the game, the Knicks media made all kinds of excuses for Zhang Yu, such as the lack of physical fitness, insomnia last night, and an ankle injury, etc., and almost didn't say that his aunt was here......

The Los Angeles media ignored these, they finally seized the opportunity to ridicule the Chinese champion, especially Sabi jumped the most happy, he thought that Zhang Yu encountered the rookie wall, facing the NBA-level bag, Zhang Yu was obviously at a loss, and did not know how to deal with it. This is the NBA, not the kind of loose defense he encountered in college. If the Chinese can't find a solution to the problem, then all teams will use bags to deal with him in the future!

Just as the media outside New York added fuel and vinegar, saying that it was as if Zhang Yu would immediately become a parallel champion after losing a game, the league was very uncooperative and directly slapped them hard!

On the day of the Knicks and Mavericks game, the league awarded the "Player of the Week" award for the third week of the NBA regular season Eastern Conference to Zhang Yu, who is what they say, the guy who has encountered big trouble!

Zhang Yu deserved to be the best of the week this time, with two consecutive 40+ games, leading the team to seven consecutive wins, and in the four games from November 9th to November 15th, he averaged 32 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.5 steals per game, and was the best player in the entire league.

As soon as the New York media posted the news on the front page, the media that sang about Zhang Yu immediately dispersed

However, the "Rabbit Hunting Alliance" led by the Los Angeles media still keeps its eyes on Zhang Yu. The next game of the Knicks will go to the away game to challenge last season's championship, this is a golden opportunity, the Celtics with the Big Three are obviously stronger than the Mavericks, if Zhang Yu continues to be in the doldrums this time, they can really mock this arrogant guy unscrupulously.

On Nov. 18, the Knicks challenged last season's champion, the Big Three, at the "TD North Shore Garden Arena" against the Celtics, who won last season.

The Celtics are not hiding the Big Three like in the preseason this time, and today the Big Three are ready to give their arch-rivals the Knicks a losing streak at home!

Although the Knicks ended their winning streak, they are not in a hurry, and in 82 games per season, how can they not lose a game? Speaking of which, the Celtics currently have a 7-3 record, which is not as good as them. The Big Three are a year older this year, and it will take a while to get back into shape, similar to the Spurs, who both teams will lose some games they shouldn't have lost early in the season.

Even if they lose to the Mavericks, they still have a 7-2 record, ranking first in the Atlantic Division and second in the East, only one game behind the Cavaliers.

Today's game will decide the second place in the East. If the Knicks lose to the Celtics, they will immediately fall to the fourth place. According to league rules, the top three in the East and West must be occupied by the top of each division, and even if the Knicks have a good record, as long as they are behind the Celtics in the same division, they can only settle for fourth.

At the Celtics' pre-game press conference, Coach Rivers looked suave in front of the media and did not make any radical remarks.

The relationship between the Knicks and the Green Shirts has dropped to an all-time freezing point this year, because the latter is doing everything possible to hook up with Marbury, inducing the other party to buy out the contract with the Knicks and then join with a base salary, which is a naked slap in the face in Dolan's eyes. What the New York boss wants is a face, and the buyout contract with Marbury has been almost negotiated, but now Dolan's stubborn temper has come up, and he would rather consume Marbury to death in his hands than worship the cheap Celtics!

Celtic's manager, Danny Angie, was the one who started it. Because of Marbury's affairs, Dolan privately slandered last year's best general manager in the league, so that the ace manager who promoted the Big Three was also angry with the Knicks, and euphemistically expressed before the game that he hoped the team could beat its opponents in the same district.

Originally, this matter was at most a dispute between the top management, and it had nothing to do with players like Zhang Yu, but Anji was asked in an interview before the game what he thought of Zhang Yu. Anji naturally did not praise the opponent's core, did not give Zhang Yu any face, and said bluntly: "He is definitely overrated, James is a superstar who has only been produced in 20 years in the league, and the new core of the Knicks is far from reaching this point." ”

Can Zhang Yu endure it after he knows? immediately-for-tat, declaring that he was going to score 40 points in this game against the Big Three, and let him see what a superstar who has only come out once in 30 years is like.

His words offended the Big Three again, and also offended James fans.

Among the Big Three, Ray Allen's character naturally won't say much, but Garnett and Pierce quit and said that they would completely freeze Zhang Yu at the "North Shore Garden Course".

Zhang Yu is now energetic, he is being made by Sabi and has nowhere to vent, since Garnett and Pierce have collided, it is just time to vent these two old guys, and scolded each other in the air before the game, and bluntly said: "Three guys with old arms and legs, they should have entered the coffin a long time ago!" Even if they win the championship once, can this kind of ring obtained from a huddle be able to get it? ”

In such a tense atmosphere, the New York Knicks vs Celtics, this much-anticipated game is about to begin.

In the pre-game locker room -

"Zhang, Lei Allen's step point is accurate, he can stand in position first, and when he breaks through, be careful not to be fouled offensively!"

D'Antoni knew that Zhang Yu had been under a lot of pressure recently, and specially instructed him to take some precautions.

Wood is not a good thing in the United States. If you are too good, you will be jealous, just like Jordan back then, not to mention that Zhang Yu is not an American. Except for the New York media, other media are not interested in him, and wish he was in a slump and stepped on his feet.

Zhang Yu actually didn't worry so much about his appearance, he didn't play well yesterday, and it was more due to the influence of the receptor lì and the poor feel. The opponent knows that you can't throw, so he concentrates on preventing you from breaking through, and it's a double bag, so the table will naturally not be good.

As the team entered, Zhang Yu found that there were more Chinese fans at the "North Shore Garden Stadium" today than in the preseason, and he could see Asian faces wearing his No. 14 jersey everywhere, and he was surprised and happy to see no less than 500 people at the sight.

"There are so many Chinese in Boston?"

Zhang Yu saw so many Chinese to support him, and it was a little strange, where did so many Chinese come from? He didn't know that there were more than 20,000 Chinese in the whole of Boston, not to mention that the Chinese who came here for tourism met his game, how could they not buy a ticket to watch a game?

Celtics starting lineup: point guard Rondo, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Pierce, power forward Garnett, center Perkins.

Zhang Yu is in high spirits today, and he is very excited to be able to compete with the NBA's current No. 1 guard sharpshooter.

He's also the best defender at projection, so I'm going to see if it's Ray Allen today? Or is he more accurate?

He was interested in Ray Allen, and the Celtics Big Three also looked at him, and Garnett almost couldn't help but swear at Zhang Yu before the game, but he knew that this would have a bad impact. But don't swear, he really can't say Zhang Yu, he and Pierce were belittled by Zhang Yu before the game, especially Zhang Yu made a fuss about their grouping, making them irrefutable. It's really hard to argue with that, and if it weren't for their age, they wouldn't have done it.

It is precisely because the three of them were already old when they hugged together that the American media did not embarrass them on this point. But Zhang Yu didn't care about this, but he didn't open which pot and which pot, and sarcastically made the whole Boston hate this hateful Chinese to death.

Zhang Yu hadn't seen it at this time, a few years later + a few years later, there was a more shameless storage zài, otherwise he would have known how backbone it was for the three people to choose to get together after they had passed their peak

PS: Visually this chapter is going to be hanged, ask for recommendations and collections, so that I know that I'm not the only one who thinks so.
