When the Knicks took the lead in the first quarter, everyone felt that the Knicks' bench lineup in the second quarter of the game was going to show their might again and help the team extend the lead.

After all, this kind of thing happens a lot this season and with the Knicks last season. No one knows why the Knicks pick up the people and the people the Knicks trade for are always a large part of them who can play quite well. This made the other teams very unhappy.

Originally, this kind of thing people always think of spurs, and spurs can always turn waste into treasure. The Knicks, on the other hand, are a gathering place for high-paid and low-quality players. This is the consensus of the alliance personnel for so many years. However, it seems that things have changed a little bit in the past few years, and things have developed towards very extreme changes.

Although the Spurs are still able to discern the pearls and select players who are not funny and can practice among a group of second-round comic rookies, the Knicks have also become the realm where they are selected and traded without loss. This has to make people wonder if the Dolan family, the owner of the Knicks, spent a billion dollars to buy the management of the Spurs to New York.

However, we need to know that things often don't go the way people expect.

The Magic's bench players are actually not strong, while the Knicks' bench players are indeed well-known in the league, and they are not inferior to the bench players of any team, and even the starters can be able to make two rounds.

However, today, the Magic's bench players are indeed very bad and play very well, especially the Polish Hammers, Gortat did not have a lot of playing time after signing a big contract, which made Gortat very unhappy, and Gortat did have the intention of leaving the Magic.

When players choose a team, it's not just money that matters.

Merely. When choosing a team, many people prioritize money, after all, no one thinks they have a lot of money.

However, there are many times when you have to think about the long term, playing time, and the team's attention to Cheng dù is also one of the important factors to consider, because only these things can meet the standards you want, you can gradually play your value, and then sign a bigger contract and earn more money.

That's the case with Gortat right now, having just signed a five-year, $33.95 million contract extension with the Magic, and in this case, Gortat should have had no more demands on the money he earned.

However, Howard and Gortat's playing time is completely out of proportion. And. Howard is not the kind of center who can move to the power forward position, which makes Gortat can only take advantage of Howard's remaining rags, and Howard is still a very full center, if Yao Ming is a substitute, Gortat will not be dissatisfied with his playing time.

Howard tends to take up a very, very large portion of the team's center minutes.

This leaves Gortat to think about his next contract, and, for basketball players. It's also a pain to have no ball to play.

That's why Gortat expressed his dissatisfaction with the Magic's management and wanted the team to trade him.

Once the team trades Gortat and then Mirisic, the Magic's interior strength will be greatly reduced.

In that case, the happy ones will be Chen Jiyuan and the New York Knicks.

Not only Chen Jiyuan and the New York Knicks, James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but also the Green Big Three and the Celtics will be very happy.

After all, the strength of the Magic is still very strong, and in the face of the above three teams, they all have a hard time, but the Magic after losing two rotation players on the inside is not necessarily.

Gortat really played his strength completely in this game, and he still played extraordinarily, on the inside, the inside substitute player Ibaka who singled the Knicks, it was completely how to play.

Hey, one left hook, hey, one right. It's called a casual play, it stands to reason that Ibaka's defensive strength is still good, and on the European court, although the intensity is not the same as the NBA, it has not reached the CBA level.

However, today, in this game between the Knicks and the Magic, he Ibaka still let Gortat blow up.

It's really a blast, it's not an exaggeration at all, it's ruthless, and what makes Ibaka lose face is that Gortat prepared in the first 7 minutes of the second quarter of the game, and he made a total of 7 shots. Hit five of them. And the two goals that didn't hit were because of the change of defense, it became Gibson defending Gortat, and the other shots in the case of Ibaka defense, Gortat hit them all. This is simply going to be Ibaka's life, Nima's, playing this game with Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu fought with you.

So, there was a very interesting scene in the whole game, in an attack of the Magic, at this time, because of Gortat's awesome play, it has made the team gradually recover some of the disadvantage of falling behind, and the score on the court is 38:32. The gap behind the Magic has become two three-pointers, which is really not a lot for the Magic, because the Magic are in the top three in the entire league in three-point shots.

The Magic's offense had nothing to do with Gortat, and after receiving the ball, JJ Redick on the outside of the ball went directly out of the three-point line.

However, with a "dang", the ball popped out of the frame, and although JJ Reddick was a good shooter, he was only a good shooter. I can't take on any greater responsibility.

After the ball didn't score, the scramble under the basket was very fierce, because of Gortat's continuous goals, the whole Ibaka was very faceless, especially Ibaka often boasted about how good his defense was within the team, and sometimes bragged that the entire league had no one who could not defend except for Chen Jiyuan. (I still know how to save some face for the boss of the team.) ）

And now, Gortat has scored five goals in a row on his head, which makes Ibaka simply unbearable. In Shinobi, he became a ninja.

Therefore, in the battle for this rebound, Ibaka used enough strength, and he must not let Gortat grab this frontcourt rebound again, but Gortat is the opposite, Gortat is in good shape, and wants to help the team chase the score back. Moreover, when a person attacks and plays smoothly. Enthusiasm will be greatly mobilized.

So, Gortat and Ibaka were under the basket, pushing each other, and the force was getting stronger and stronger, as JJ Redick missed the ball, and the rebound was about to fall.

Gortat and Ibaka competed for the position under the basket, and the position of this ball was better than Gortat's, but Ibaka really couldn't accept the failure of this rebound.

Thereupon. That's when the dispute arose, as Gortat and Ibaka got their arms tangled together in a desperate attempt to snatch the rebound.

Gortat wanted to jump, but Ibaka also wanted to jump, and the arms of the two people became a bondage, so Gortat shook his hand violently, wanting to shake off Ibaka's arm, this time the action was a bit big, Ibaka was in a bad mood, and at this time he couldn't bear it decisively.

Before Gortat could jump, Ibaka used his right hand to push Gortat away and take down the falling basketball.

However, when he was pushed away, the referee on the bottom line blew the whistle as soon as possible.

However, how could Gortat, who was provoked, obediently treat Ibaka's behavior just now as if it hadn't happened, after Gortat stabilized his center of gravity, he turned around as soon as he could, and pushed Ibaka violently with both hands.

Ibaka was pushed to a stumbling point, and for a moment he failed to stabilize his center of gravity, and was pushed out of the bottom line, and the referee is very experienced in this kind of thing, not a thousand times, but also eight hundred times.

Instantly stand between the two players, open your hands, and keep the two players as far away as possible.

Gortat's enthusiasm is at the highest moment, and it is of course unhappy to be interrupted, especially when Gortat knows that Ibaka's goal is absolutely deliberate, Gortat feels that Ibaka first provokes himself, and then sneers with himself, and he can't bear it at this time.

So, Gortat reluctantly wanted to talk to Ibaka about life and ideals.

Ibaka didn't grow up eating dry rice, Ibaka obviously grew up drinking porridge, how could he be afraid to talk about life and ideals with Gortat.

Naturally, he also pointed at Gortat.

The situation here brought the players of both sides together quickly.

The hearts of the Knicks have always been relatively aligned. At least it won't drive out the awesome thing of letting teammates 1v5.

Naturally, the Magic team will not watch their teammates suffer.

However, the players from both sides gathered together, it doesn't mean that they have to fight in a group, but generally they are mainly responsible for pulling away their teammates, like Chen Jiyuan, who adheres to the Northeast fighting plan inherited by his ancestors, and the person who goes up is a ship gun really doesn't have it.

In the end, the referee stopped the game to make a decision on what had just happened, and the three referees got together to discuss how to make the final decision.

In fact, Ibaka only did this because there was a resentment in his heart, and the long-term anger broke out at this time.

But if at this time, it is Garnett who has such a thing, then, perhaps, it can be considered deliberate.

Now the morale of the Knicks is relatively low, and Gortat's long-term attack has made the Knicks' defense a little stretched. It's hard to cope.

Therefore, if it is Garnett, it may be to improve morale and interrupt the opponent's offensive situation, and deliberately break out into conflict.

However, whether Ibaka did it intentionally or not, now, the Knicks have got that effect.

The referee awarded a technical foul for each side.

This is also a very normal situation, many times, both sides have their own mistakes, Garnett's kind of person, when something happens, he raises his hands high, shows that he is innocent, and then dodges the person, purely to deceive the opponent's technical foul. Actually, that's not a conflict.

After this little episode, Gortat was in a very unhappy mood.

However, Gortat had no chance of returning to the pitch as both sides made changes to the main team.

In the second half of the second quarter, in the last minutes of the first half, the Knicks wanted to expand the score to double digits again, while the Magic hoped to continue the trend of chasing points, successfully tie the score, and put the two teams on the same starting line.
