Chapter 155: Is the confined Warcraft still happy?

According to statistics after the game, Lian Dao once again got 30+ data, more precisely, it should be 30+10 data.

34 points, 16 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks!

This is the data of the three-quarter check-in, and the scoring and assists are also the highest in the game.

Now basically as long as the opponent does not double-team Lian Dao, his score will be stable at 30+. Facing double-teams, his assist data will be even better. Generally, he will use double-teams to create opportunities for his teammates, unless the teammates really It is because he has no touch that he will take over the offensive banner in the double-team.

Players from both sides shook hands, and Lian Dao saw Taj Gibson again. After Taj Gibson came to the Suns, although Stoudemire was the starter, Gibson played a lot of substitute time.

Moreover, Gibson's defensive attitude and skilled inside are deeply liked by Alvin Gentry. Gibson is the immediate combat power that the Suns need most.

Lian Dao was also relieved to see that his big brother who covered him in college was doing well. What he was most worried about was changing Gibson's growth trajectory and causing him to go astray.

After the game, D'Antoni praised his disciples as usual, and expressed his happiness at ending the losing streak.

Recently, the media is not interested in Lian Dao's 30+ data, unless Lian Dao does not get 30+ data that day, it will attract the attention of the media.

After the game against the Suns, the Knicks went on their own away trip, yes, the next two games are still away games.

They were against the Orlando Magic and the Atlanta Hawks.

Throughout December, the Knicks played a total of 15 games. This dense schedule basically means that the Knicks played a lot of back-to-back games in December.

So, think it over before putting it badly, otherwise, it will bring endless back-to-back next season.

The game against the Orlando Magic is back-to-back, which is tomorrow night's game.

The most painful thing for the Knicks this season is the back-to-back schedule. The main reason is that the time for back-to-back games is too tight. In order to replenish their physical strength, many players basically seize the time to catch up on sleep as soon as they get on the plane and bus.

In the back-to-back battle against the Magic, D'Antoni gave up tactically. The Magic, currently the number one record in the Eastern Conference, is in full swing.

The inside combination of Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis really complement each other so well.

Rashard Lewis is a space-based power forward. His range can reach beyond the three-point line, and he averaged 7 three-pointers per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 39.7%.

And in June, they got a demigod Vince Carter from the Brooklyn Nets through a three-for-one trade, and formed an outside shooter team with Jameer Nelson and Matt Barnes.

The one-star four-shot tactic is simply superb in the hands of Stan Van Gundy.

However, the premise is that Howard is not restricted. Once Howard is restricted, the Magic's one-star shooting will become a few blind shots in an instant.

This is also the main reason why the Rockets often lose against the Magic. Although Howard has strong upper body strength inside, his lower body strength is not as good as Yao Ming.

Therefore, in many cases, he couldn't stand Yao Ming's defense at all, and he was stuck in the position when he grabbed rebounds.

Is the confined Warcraft still happy?

Of course, the Knicks have no insiders who can hold this monster.

Therefore, Lian Dao didn't know, but he could ask Yao Ming in private, um, he definitely knew.

The Knicks' inside double-teaming in this game also gave the Magic a lot of opportunities outside.

Especially Rashad Lewis, who is really not soft on three-pointers from the outside.

Of course, the Knicks failed to guard Howard, and likewise, no one on the Magic could guard Lian Dao.

The outside line of the Magic team was sieved by Lian Dao.

On the inside, as long as Howard steps forward to defend, David Lee and Millsap will get open shots. With Lian Dao's passing skills, the basketball will reach the hands of these two people accurately.

Of course, Lian Dao's flying dunk was indispensable in this game.

As long as Lian Dao is allowed to fly, even Warcraft can only become the background board.

Vince Carter couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly as he looked at this young man who was flying into the sky and escaping from the ground.

It was the same with me back then, wanting to challenge all heights, looked at my knees, and secretly thought it was a pity.

Kneecap surgery, also known as "genius killing", was a turning point in Vince Carter's career in the 2001-2002 season. Before that, Vince Carter was half-human and half-god, and he would perform dunk contests in the game at every turn. A performance that can only be seen.

Taking off from the free throw line, gliding in the air and dunking, Newton's coffin was almost lifted.

At that time, as long as Carter could solve it with a dunk, he would never layup or shoot.

But Bowen's stepping ruined Carter. The two steppings in 2000 and 2004 made Carter lose the ability to fly and escape. In 2005, Carter had already transferred to the Nets. Bowen stepped on Carter several times, but fortunately, Carter saw through and avoided them.

Unexpectedly, Bowen threatened Carter's safety again and again, which made Carter unbearable. The accumulated anger broke out directly, and he rushed forward to chase Bowen, but it seemed that Bowen had prepared in advance. Carter rushed over and ran away, but Carter's clenched fist didn't hit Bowen, and he was finally pulled back.

At the end of the game, the Knicks lost to the Orlando Magic 106:114.

During the handshake ceremony after the game, Carter watched Lian Dao hesitate to speak, but Lian Dao asked for Carter's autograph.

This made Carter stunned, but then he took out a marker pen and signed his name on the jersey that Lian Dao had already prepared.

The two posed for a photo together in front of the camera holding their jerseys.

"Sickle, as someone who has experienced it, I want to give you a suggestion, don't dunk too much, not everyone's defense is so clean." Carter looked at Lian Dao and said seriously.

"Thank you, Vince, I will pay attention to safety, but if they want to touch me, they must be prepared to enter the ICU." Lian Dao said calmly.

Vince was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that this rookie who just entered the league is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the two people who fouled him maliciously were sent to the hospital by him.

Now, Lian Dao can be regarded as one of the unprovoked figures in the alliance.

If you want to use some small tricks on him, one more person will enter the hospital if you don't do well.

Lian Dao and Vince bumped shoulders and hugged each other, and they also walked to their respective dressing rooms.

According to statistics after the game, Lian Dao scored a double-double with 38 points and 14 assists.

And Howard scored a double-double of 24 points and 16 rebounds. The Magic scored the highest scorer Rashad Lewis, who hit 7 three-pointers and scored 29 points and 10 rebounds.

After losing the Magic, the Knicks' record also came to 13 wins and 6 losses.

There is still the last team on this road trip, the Atlanta Hawks. After playing the Atlanta Hawks, this road trip can be declared over.

Atlanta Hawks, if you look at the Hawks in the 2009-10 season from the perspective of 2022, you will use one word to describe it: a lot of talent.

Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, Al Horford.

The bench includes Jeff Teague, Jamal Crawford, and Zaza Pachulia.

However, in history, they only broke into the Eastern Conference once in the future, and they were swept out 4:0 in the playoffs by the Cavaliers led by James for two consecutive years.

Once in the Eastern Conference finals, once in the second round of the playoffs, both were the same 4:0.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Knicks got off to a bad start and were beaten 12:0 by the Eagles.

But immediately after the adjustment, the Knicks hit two three-pointers from the outside line one after another, and at the end of the first quarter, the Knicks even overtook the score.

In the second quarter, the Knicks chased after the victory, and Lian Dao did not rest. In the second quarter, the Knicks even hit a 12:2 spurt.

By the end of halftime, the Knicks had led the Hawks by 13 points 64-51.

In the third quarter, Lian Dao sat off the court to rest at the beginning of the game. D'Antoni sent Jared Jeffries to play to collect data After all, he still leads by 13 points.

Unexpectedly, the Eagles took advantage of the time when Lian Dao was off the court to continue chasing points. Zaza Pachulia and Joe Johnson showed off one after another, even closing the score for a while.

In the last 4 minutes of the third quarter, D'Antoni also replaced Lian Dao on the court. After entering the court, Lian Dao made a violent dunk to the basket to stabilize the situation.

However, the starting Eagles played a wave of smooth cooperation in the last four minutes, leading the score in the third quarter in one fell swoop.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks trailed the Hawks by one point 83-84 and entered the fourth quarter.

After entering the fourth quarter, the Knicks also put on the full starting lineup.

Joe Johnson and Al Horford misfired at the beginning of the fourth quarter under the key defenses of Lian Dao and Millsap.

Then the Knicks started their full-line counterattack. At 1 minute and 11 seconds, the Knicks regained and established a 12-point score advantage.

At the end of the game, the Knicks defeated the Atlanta Hawks away with 121:107.
