Chapter 202: Could it be that nightclubs also function as hospitals?

Popular recommendation:

The first opponent after returning home is the 76ers. This is the fourth and final game between the Knicks and the 76ers this season.

The 76ers with chaotic tactics are still not the Knicks' opponents. The Knicks, who have strength and home court advantage, defeated the visiting 76ers 101:88.

At present, the Knicks have won all four games against the 76ers this season.

The current record of the 76ers is 24 wins and 45 losses. In terms of strength, it is impossible for the 76ers to achieve such a record. They have point guard Williams on the outside and Inguodala on the inside. All-Star big man Elton Brand.

This configuration can't be called a championship, but there should be no problem entering the playoffs, but this season's 76ers have the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

In fact, the most important thing is that the 76ers did not choose the team boss. The 76ers chose Ingodala as the team boss, but Ingodala did not have the ambition to be the boss. Ingodala played too selflessly, and his competitive spirit was not Very strong, generally speaking, Inguodala has no charisma.

A team without a leader is a mess, without cohesion, naturally there is no desire to win.

Lian Dao's game was still three quarters, and he scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists. In the fourth quarter, even if Lian Dao didn't play, the Knicks still played back and forth with the 76ers.

Unknowingly, Lian Dao also suddenly discovered that other members of the Knicks also improved significantly during the regular season.

From the very beginning of the season, as long as Lian Dao rested, the Knicks began to be chased by opponents for points. Up to now, even if Lian Dao sat on the bench in the fourth quarter, the Knicks still played back and forth with the opponent's main players, and they continued to fight. Expand your advantage.

On March 21, the Knicks played against the Houston Rockets at home. The Rockets' current record also fell out of the top eight in the West, with 35 wins and 32 losses. This record can still enter the top eight in the East, but it is absolutely impossible in the West. The strong teams in the West It's just too much.

Lakers, Nuggets, Jazz, Mavericks, Suns, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Thunder, it can be said that none of these eight teams are good.

Even though the Rockets are still 6 wins behind the San Antonio Spurs, who are eighth in the West, the Spurs are now 41 wins and 26 losses, which can be ranked sixth in the East, but they can only rank No. 1 in the West. eight.

The Rockets, without Yao Ming, were particularly weak in the sprint at the end of the season, and McGrady's state this season was really bad, playing and stopping.

In this game, McGrady only played 23 minutes and scored 6 points and 7 rebounds.

The previous closed battle had a great impact on McGrady's body, and his current state and strength have fallen off a cliff.

Now McGrady is no longer the boy with a white horse and a spear.

When McGrady was facing Wilson Chandler, the continuous shaking could not change Wilson Chandler's center of gravity. On the contrary, he was firmly controlled on the outside by Chandler's wingspan.

In the past, if he went straight to the inside with an accelerated breakthrough, or directly shot from the outside, no one would have anything to do with him.

However, now McGrady has lost his unsolvable offensive methods. Even facing a junior like Chandler, he can't get rid of the defense for a while.

It can be said that the fastest first step that was comparable to Grant Hill back then is gone.

The Knicks defeated the visiting Houston Rockets 116:109.

Lian Dao recorded a triple-double record of 35 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in this game.

McGrady looked at Lian Dao wearing the No. 1 jersey, his eyes were full of memories.

He may have seen himself from Lian Dao's omnipotence, but he is not sure whether it was in the Raptors, the Magic, or the Houston Rockets.

Although the Rockets did not sell McGrady on the trade deadline, but at the end of this season, the Rockets are no longer planning to renew McGrady, and McGrady will also enter the free market this summer.

After defeating the Rockets, one day later, on March 23, the Knicks defeated the Denver Nuggets at home.

In this game, the Nuggets fell into an endless loop of Anthony's singles. Anthony had no problems in singles before, but he was severely restricted by Lian Dao in this game. not good.

But today's Anthony got into a dead end.

The day before the game against the Knicks, when James and Anthony talked on the phone, he "kindly" reminded Anthony to be careful of the Knicks' No. 1 and not to capsize in New York.

Anthony didn't take it seriously. Although Lian Dao led the Knicks to defeat the Cavaliers, Anthony didn't think Lian Dao's strength could block him.

Therefore, he swore on the phone that he would lead the excavation team to destroy Lian Dao.

Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why Anthony fell into infinite singles.

On the bench, today's JR Smith seems to have forgotten his knife in Denver, shooting 1 of 6 three-pointers and shooting only 28% from the field.

It can be said that today's Nuggets are not only weak in the main force, but also weak in substitutes.

In the whole game, Lian Dao scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks with a 5×5 all-around record.

It can be said that since Olajuwon retired, only Kirilenko can continue to play 5×5 data in the league. However, as Kirilenko has grown older in recent years, his athletic ability has also increased. There has been a sharp drop, and no player in the league has played 5×5 data for 4 years.

But Lian Dao played 5×5 in the game against the Nuggets.

In this game, Melon Anthony only scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. He took 37 shots and only made 8 of them. He had the lowest efficiency in the game, and his shooting percentage was only 21%.

After the game, Anthony, although still completed the handshake ceremony, did not attend the Nuggets' press conference tonight. Only Billups and head coach George Karl attended the press conference.

When the reporter asked the reason, Nuggets coach George Karl declared embarrassingly that Melo did not attend tonight's press conference because he was not feeling well.

But obviously the media reporters in New York would not believe George Karl's nonsense, but George Karl repeatedly insisted that it was because of his health, and the media had nothing to do.

However, by coincidence that night, being caught by the media, Little Melon Anthony walked out of the most luxurious nightclub in New York at four o'clock in the morning, hugging left and right.

Is this what your head coach said you were feeling unwell?

Could it be that nightclubs also function as hospitals?

When this incident broke out together with the media interview after the game, it quickly caused an uproar.

"Anthony, who was not feeling well, left the most luxurious nightclub in New York at four o'clock in the morning."

"After losing, the little melon hugs the left and the right to get drunk at the nightclub."

…

This wave of media offensive also made Anthony hastily hold a press conference the next day to apologize publicly. At the same time, on social media, Anthony also apologized to fans.

Not only that, because Anthony had previously pretended to be unwell and did not attend the press conference, he was held accountable by the league and fined $50,000.

Of course, this little money is just a drop in the bucket for the rich and powerful Anthony.

Although Anthony's melons are still fermenting in the league, the popularity is gradually decreasing.

After all, new things that happen every day will always make people forget what happened before.

Furthermore, it is not news at all that NBA stars often go to nightclubs.

However, the unfortunate thing about Anthony is that he refused to attend the press conference due to his physical condition.

This made many media feel that they did not receive the respect they deserved, so this caused an uproar.

But this kind of news comes quickly and disappears quickly.

On March 26, the Knicks came to Phoenix to restart a new wave of road trips.

In the game that night, the Knicks lost to the Phoenix Suns 118:132.

Since the Suns mentioned Lopez Jr. to the starting lineup, although the Suns' inside height has not increased, their defense has increased significantly.

Moreover, putting Channing Foley on the bench also strengthened the depth of the Suns' rotation.

Especially the bench combination of Channing Fly and Taj Gibson also caused the Knicks a lot of trouble in the rotation.

Channing Fry's 2.13m center forward can pull out to the outside to shoot three-pointers. The key is that Channing Fry's shooting percentage is still very high in this game.

Although Lian Dao scored 43 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, the Suns broke out as a whole.

Nash had 21 points and 18 assists, Stoudemire had 26 points and 18 rebounds, a large double-double; Channing Fry had 19 points and 8 rebounds; Jason Richardson had 18 points and 5 rebounds; Pez had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Ty Gibson had 12 points and 7 rebounds.

A total of 6 players from the Suns team scored in double figures. Grant Hill did not perform very well because he was marked by Lian Dao.
