Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Return of Boston
Although I don't know if the old Taoist priest on a whim is suffering from menopausal syndrome, anyway, Wang Xiaomu is very excited to fight and pillow Goddan. After he arrived in the United States, his strength grew rapidly, and maybe he could let the old Taoist priest, who had always regarded himself very highly, turn over in the gutter.
However, with the reason for the test, Wang Xiaomu must always maintain his true qi and will not make this kind of large-scale talisman for the time being. As a result, he had to hold on to his only 4 cards for a while. Coach Wang, who is on the defensive, naturally does not make enemies everywhere.
After the win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks packed their bags for their road trip, but they still have some work to do before that.
On March 3, the Knicks announced that the team had relegated center Jerome Jordan to the NBDL league. Since Jordan doesn't get playing time at all with the Knicks, the team hopes that he can get consistent playing time in the NBDL to help him stay in better shape.
Jerome Jordan was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2010 with the overall pick of 44 and was later acquired by the Knicks for $500,000. In 13 games for the Knicks this season, Jordan averaged just 1.5 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. In January of this year, Jordan was also sent down by the team, and Jeremy Lin was also sent with him at that time.
On March 4, the Knicks announced that their forward Billwalker would undergo surgery on Monday to repair his injured left elbow. Officially, he is expected to be out for four to six weeks.
Because of the injury to his left elbow, Walker hasn't played since the All-Star break. Wang Xiaomu originally planned to prepare rehabilitation for him after these two days, but he didn't expect to catch up with the assessment, so he could only grieve Walker to undergo surgery.
On March 5, the Knicks will travel to Boston's North Shore Garden Arena to challenge the Boston Celtics away. The match was scheduled for 2pm and was a test for players familiar with the evening.
However, there is a lot of good news, and at least the trade rumors will give Boston coach coach Doug Rivers a headache for a while.
The Celtics' upcoming disintegration once again proves that the "goddess of iron-clad hard work", Paul Pearce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, this giant is like four glamorous women who scratch their heads and pose beautifully, and in the eyes of the team manager who has more monks and less porridge, they are absolutely top car models, capable of fighting, familiar with all kinds of unspoken rules, and guaranteed to become the top celebrity of the new team.
The 18-18 Celtics are in good form after losing to the Knicks last time out at home, and are ready to make a comeback with a two-game winning streak. As competitors in the same division, a win against the Knicks would help them secure their standings and even drag them down from the sixth-place spot they had just risen.
What could be cooler than a victory like this?
At the beginning, Garnett still thought about using his powder attack, and he also looked at Wang Xiaomu's movements and posture.
At this time, Coach Wang was discussing the deployment of the opening game with the players, and when he saw Garnett, who was a thief, Wang Xiaomu was amused in his heart, and deliberately turned his back to Garnett.
Seeing that the opposing head coach would definitely not be able to make trouble, Kevin made a big move again, and slapped his hands into the sky with powder. Some actions are like looking at your phone before going to bed, looking at your phone in the toilet, or looking at your phone while walking. (On the news, it is said that there is a buddy who walked and looked at his mobile phone and fell into powder and was paralyzed, I hope that all book friends cherish the happy life under their feet)
As soon as the powder in the hands of Garnett of Desse was shot, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and he directly turned into a sandstorm and almost knocked out the wolf king.
The entire recording desk staff originally raised the objects that could be covered in their hands, ready to accept the ravage~, and at this time, seeing Garnett bending over and coughing like a lobster, they quickly raised the mobile phones in their hands one by one, crackling and snapping.
There are even people who are still communicating, "Look at this, dew ~ point!" A staff member said chicken jelly.
"Show your hair!" A colleague on the side didn't believe it, and turned his head to look at the other party's screen.
Hey, don't say it, this burst of mountains and tsunamis, landslides and ground cracks, really exposed the wolf king's "chest hair".
Back on the court, the Knicks rotated the power forward position for this game, allowing the smarter Scola to start the power forward in place of Stoudemire.
"Deal with him first, there's no need to toss with real knives and guns as soon as you come up." Wang Xiaomu told Scola who was on the field. Diamond basketball has a relatively high IQ and is relatively more able to play skills and tactics. This is the classic slogan of selling diamonds: a forever.
The depressed little bully Stoudemire sat to the side and watched, although he played okay in the last game, but the last time he played against the Celtics, he obviously failed to prevent Garnett's outburst in the first half.
"Let Scola be cannon fodder first to consume Garnett's physical strength." Wang Xiaomu comforted Stoudemier and said, a slap didn't give him any verbal comfort.
The little overlord nodded and continued to nest on the stool. That's the disadvantage of physical players, in addition to going crazy on the field, they will conserve energy on the field.
The Knicks started well, starting with a high jumper by Diamond Scola, and then Anthony hitting a three-pointer from the outside to give the team the opening lead. The Celtics then opened fire and hit a succession of scoring opportunities.
But the original evenly matched contest was disrupted by one person.
Lin.
In this game, Comrade Kobayashi played with 2 shots that were out of tune, one of which was blocked by Rondo, and then two consecutive turnovers + two fouls. In less than 3 minutes, Jeremy Lin almost sent himself off the field in a hurry to reincarnate?
The Celtics took advantage of the trend to hit a wave of 12:0 high~ tide.
"Jeremy Lin didn't play well in the opening period, the offense was disorganized, he dribbled to the top of the arc with both hands in his hands, and his passing purpose was too single, easy to be seen through by opponents. Defensively, it suffers in speed and power. Of course, if he doesn't have a normal defender and it's not obvious, he can also fight against it. But against a top defender like Rajon Rondo, it's very difficult to play against. TNT is still blindly blackwooded, and doesn't seem to care about the recent praise of Jeremy Lin by the president of his country.
Wang Xiaomu was also a little puzzled by Jeremy Lin's self-harm, and hurriedly asked:
"You have diarrhea?"
Jeremy Lin shook his head.
"You have a headache?"
Jeremy Lin waved his hand.
"That's not a fucking good fight!" Coach Wang, who hates iron but not steel, almost threw the tactical board in his hand on Jeremy Lin's head.
Jeremy Lin, who was reprimanded, really had a hard time, didn't I tell you what's going on, I am in an uncoordinated physical state. He was originally in good training condition, but as soon as he got on the court, he felt like he had a stroke, his eyes were crooked, his shooting was outrageous, and his defense lost his judgment.
Jeremy Lin's early foul gave Mike Bibby a chance to play.
Mike Bibby's recent special training has been very effective, and his three-point shot has stabilized the situation for the team. In order to give more support to the team, the aging Bibi is also desperate.
The Celtics have gradually declined since Petrus's three-point shot, and Kevin Garnett is a little uncomfortable in Scola's soft and hard bubble defense, seeing that a piece of hard stick noodles is about to be soaked into stick noodles.
Rondo's side could hardly have an absolute advantage in the physical competition with Bibby, so he could only organize his players and besiege the Knicks basket with jump shots.
But whether it is Pierce or Ray Allen, it is like an eagle hunting in a hazy day, and he has completely lost his sense of direction.
At one point, the entire Celtics team did nothing for more than four minutes.
The Knicks seized the opportunity to quickly counterattack and quickly put the score in the lead, and Paul George received a pass from Bibby unguarded and completed a pull-up dunk.
New York chased the score to one point.
Wang Xiaomu made the last shot of the quarter to switch to the microwave Novak, and the three-pointer hit a three-pointer in the final moment. The Knicks took a 29-27 lead on the road in the first quarter.
"Novak has been playing pretty well lately, and I have to say that the Knicks have really earned it. If it weren't for his fragile defense, New York would have been able to play the twin star legend directly. "The more objective media also saw the play of the Knicks bench players.
After a short break, the two sides began the second quarter.
In the second quarter, Wang Xiaomu sent his own bench lineup, led by Xiao Si, which had a slight advantage in the rotation lineup with the Celtics. With the rebounding protection of the big man inside, Novak was still accurate, and he received an assist from Shambert and hit another three-point shot. (Nuo three-point: Excuse me, the big man on the inside has a hairy relationship with me, and my life is for shooting)
In order to maintain the height of the court, Garnett continued to swing inside. Stoudemire finally had the opportunity to face Garnett and play on offense and defense, and the excitement was uncontrollable.
"Kevin, let's do it for real." Stoudemire's slightly lewd and agitated expression makes people think about it.
Garnett said lying gun: "......"
The Celtics' state of missing the game seems to be continuing, they almost shot one by one on the court, no one hit the shot, and once again achieved nothing for more than 4 minutes, completely falling into a scoring drought.
Wang Xiaomu was also stunned by the opponent's inhuman hit rate, what a sin he had to do for this kind of waste of character.
In the face of God's gift, the Knicks did not dare to slack off, relying on sharp offense to quickly establish a double-digit lead, Carmelo Anthony baskets one after another, and Xiao Si held the basket to steam his anger, giving the Celtics a headache.
The Knicks hit 11 of 14 shots in the second quarter. Even with 2 minutes left in the first half, Jeremy Lin was ready to go on the field to brush up the stats.
