Chapter 557: Accident
After completing an eight-game winning streak, the Knicks simply didn't let go of their feet. Taking advantage of the momentum, it is obvious that he is going for nine consecutive wins. If possible, it would be best to break the Rockets' opening streak.
The Knicks' next opponent is the Hawks, speaking of the Hawks, when Chen Jiyuan first came to the team, he also asked Latin, and the offer was Josh Smith who restricted free man, but what I didn't expect was that the Hawks were so determined to keep Josh Smith at that time that they chose to match the contract of the New York Knicks. So Josh Smith got a lot more money than he did at this time in his previous life.
Although the New York Knicks helped Josh Smith make a lot of money, it seems that Josh Smith did not have the slightest reserve when he played against the New York Knicks. I'm still going all out as always. It's so uninteresting.
The current Atlanta Hawks are quite strong to be honest. Having an All-Star like Joe Johnson, although Joe Johnson has been a bit of a lucky All-Star for several times, doesn't prove that Joe Johnson is the best player in the East. But at least it's at the level of an All-Star player.
Point guard Mike Bibby, although no longer in his prime, still has good experience and can help the team in the playoffs. On the inside line with the addition of Josh Smith and Al Horford. Add Marvin Williams as the team's starting small forward. It can be said that this team does not have the shortcomings of Yan zhòng. But the problem is that the team doesn't have the shortcomings of Yan zhòng, but there are also no outstanding advantages. In the playoffs, this flaw became apparent. It took seven games against the Bucks to finally break through the first round, and was swept by the Magic in the second round, the team did not have a top superstar to stand up in key moments, and Joe Johnson wilted as soon as he reached the playoffs, scoring that few points with a low and outrageous shooting rate. Admittedly, because the defensive intensity has increased in all games in the playoffs, but there is no such discomfort with the playoffs as Joe Johnson, who is not a material that can be a team leader in his own right. If the old camp wants to point to Joe Johnson to become the boss of the team and lead the team forward, it will be difficult for some strong men.
In this game with the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan taught Al Horford, a short insider, a hard lesson, but Al Horford also has his own ways to help the team move forward. Although Chen Jiyuan's defense is already quite good. But he couldn't keep Al Horford clean, and Al Horford pulled Chen Jiyuan out of the basket, which made Chen Jiyuan a little difficult when he helped defend and make up for it. But you can't let Al Horford stay in the middle distance, and Al Horford's mid-range shooting also has a certain accuracy.
In the end, although Al Horford only scored 7 points, it made Chen Jiyuan's overall defense a little uncomfortable.
Chen Jiyuan had 21 points and 12 rebounds in the game.
In the outside matchup, Sessions faced Mike Bibby, a former excellent point guard, and also had some fighting thoughts, and in the whole game, Sessions scored 25 points, while also having 11 assists and 4 rebounds.
Josh Smith is under the defense of the New York Knicks, or rather, in the face of Love's defense, Josh Smith played quite well, because Love's pace is still a little slow and can't keep up with Josh Smith's speed. Josh Smith finished the game with 21 points, nine rebounds and five assists. There are also 2 caps.
As for Marvin Williams himself as a decent striker, he doesn't pose much of a threat. Under the defense of Stephen Jackson, he also did his job honestly, scoring no more than 10 points. Took 5 rebounds, no more, no less. I went home and received my salary.
The team's boss, Joe Johnson, was defended by Andre Iguodala, and Joe Johnson lost himself again, scoring just nine points in the game. At the same time, there were 8 turnovers. It's like being sleepwalking all the time.
The Knicks won the game with a score of 100:89.
The nine-game winning streak was successfully achieved. This season has been a perfect start for the New York Knicks. So far it's been smooth sailing.
However, as the old saying goes, the New York Knicks, who are accustomed to good fortune and misfortune, have finally suffered a disaster.
On the night of November 13, 2009, the New York Knicks played against the Golden State Warriors.
The current Golden State Warriors are a standard bad team, and Monta Ellis and David Lee can't support the team. The whole Warriors are a mess. The Warriors still have a long way to go if they want to be a strong team again.
There was nothing thrilling about this game, and the New York Knicks won the game easily, but the key problem was that after this game, the Knicks had five days of rest before the next game. It's hard to take such a long break.
As a result, Thibodeau also gave the players a rare day off. This is already a great gift for Thibodeau.
Then, on the evening of this holiday, something happened.
At the time of the accident, Chen Jiyuan was still crying silently at home. While eating, Britney was seen dead at home, and Chen Jiyuan was not allowed to go to the nightclub to fool around.
And where Chen Jiyuan was not there, Lefou, Sessions, and Stephen Jackson were in a nightclub, and they had a group fight. I won't mention the cause of the incident, because women are jealous, so I won't say much, the violent temper of the Americans, Ting Duo just did it.
Then, as a result of these three guys fighting side by side, Sessions suffered a fractured bone in his hand and needed to recuperate for 6-8 weeks. Stephen Jackson and Lefu were much better, Stephen Jackson was almost uninjured because he was a veteran of the fight, and Lefu was hit in the eye by a wine bottle. Although the eye injury is quite scary, it does not directly hurt the eye, and it is not a big problem, but he was stabbed in the stomach, and Lefou's injury needs to be recuperated for 6-8 weeks after it is confirmed.
Three people because of this battle. also caught up in a lawsuit.
The guy who shot the three of them was a local gangster who had been in prison and had a lot of dark history.
Regardless of the penalty against the rascal, the impact on the New York Knicks is that they have lost two super main players, and it is not a two-game game, but a little over a month. New York Knicks fans won't be able to see Sessions and Love full of energy on the court.
Stephen Jackson was okay, but he was banned for one game because of the fight.
Thibodeau was already angry when he found out about this. What is this called? Fighting off the field, and then getting injured, how many years has this happened, that player won't protect himself, they are all adults who know the consequences, they can still get injured because of such a thing as fighting, it's just unreasonable.
When Chen Jiyuan knew about this matter, it was the next day, or Britney knew about it first, and then directly sued Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan was blindsided when he heard it. I had never heard of such a thing in my previous life.
However, it is useless to think about that, and now all the team needs to do is think about how to deal with the next games.
No one who has just won nine in a row doesn't want this streak to last longer.
After Chen Jiyuan went to visit Sessions and Lefou, there was really no way to say anything more about the two of them.
Love affected the New York Knicks' record because of this injury, so he blamed himself, and he was also worried that because of the injury during this time, he would be disliked by Thibodeau, and in the end, even if he was not traded, he was demoted to a substitute and was no longer reused.
However, Chen Jiyuan said at the time, "Don't worry, with me in New York for one day, you will have your starting seat." As long as you play hard. Nothing will affect you. This has a faint meaning of doing it against the head coach. But Chen Jiyuan felt that this was very normal. The strength of Lefu is not comparable to that of Ty Gibson and Serge Ibaka, and in terms of scoring talent, Serge Ibaka and Ty Gibson are not as good as Lefou, perhaps on the defensive end, Sergi Ibaka is stronger than Lefou, but Lefou's control of rebounding is also stronger than Sergi Ibaka. And Lefu is the three-point king of later generations, Chen Jiyuan is very optimistic about Lefu's three-point shooting ability. That's why I dare to issue such a package ticket.
Sessions's love is still quite stable. And, Sessions looks better than he could have imagined. Maybe I can come back a little bit earlier to play.
Just when the whole team was caught in this unexpected blow, the all-star voting event officially began.
To be honest, Chen Jiyuan doesn't have any feelings about all-stars. The main thing is that it is really not difficult for Chen Jiyuan to enter the All-Star. In either way.
Speaking of David Stern, in order to open up the Chinese market, Chen Jiyuan and Yao Ming, the two cash cows, cannot be put together. Besides, Chen Jiyuan's number and role are completely all-star. Then David Stern will have to let Chen Jiyuan go even more. Besides, there are not many other Chinese, but there are many people. If you vote, who can compare.
