Chapter 1894 Isn’t This Embarrassing?

If the individual data gap can still be eliminated, the huge gap between the team is an indisputable fact. The owner’s box on the second floor of Madison Square Garden was once again empty at midfield, and there was only one unfinished cigar left in the room to prove it. , he has been here before...

Ahem, I know how uncomfortable Dolan is right now through the screen. Dolan, who was chasing Ji Feng, spent a high price to get Stoudemire, and then spent a super high price to get Anthony. At that time, Dolan laughed in front of the media after a long absence, He finally found the winning code.

However, this game proved that this password does not work...

In the third quarter, the Knicks still wanted to struggle, and all the main players came out. D'Antoni also changed his tactics, and Stoudemire was finally given the main offensive task.

At this moment, Stoudemire in the locker room almost shed tears of excitement. After Anthony came, he really became less and less status.

However, although but...

The tactics were arranged like this. D'Antoni gave many instructions to find a way to hit the ball inside. Felton even felt threatened.

However, you have to be able to punch it in!

As mentioned before, Stoudemire's playing style requires high-speed movement and pick-and-roll mismatches, but he doesn't know how to do this with the Knicks!

So Fiers could only give the ball to Stoudemire to play with his back, but Stoudemire really had no advantage at all when facing Bynum with his back. He suffered from weight and height, and his back was really rough. , so he was blocked by the basket in the first round...

Bang!

The contact between the basketball and the rim, Ji Feng seemed to hear Stoudemire's heartbroken voice...

"COME ON MAN?!" Anthony's complaint came as expected...

But Stoudemire was determined to struggle again. The Lakers failed to score in this attack, so he came to his senses. This time he chose to run counterattack, and finally he found the opportunity to dunk in an alley-oop!

"YES~!" Xiao Si roared excitedly.

It's not easy, it's been a long time since he dunked like this!

However, although this ball was exciting enough, it really gave Stoudemire too few opportunities to dunk like this. The Lakers then adjusted their defensive strategy. Bynum kept pestering Stoudemire, making it impossible for him to catch the ball calmly, so Stoudemire The next three shots were all unsuccessful.

The Lakers, organized by Ji Feng, played a wave of 8-2, and the point difference further widened to 24 points. The Knicks really went far...

Anthony was so stimulated that he continued to play singles at the end of the third quarter, but with little effect. Instead, Anthony used constant strikes to confirm Barkley's point of view: the gap between him and Ji Feng is really getting bigger and bigger, and , he also started to go downhill.

Ji Feng was substituted with 3 minutes left in the third quarter. Artest was eager to face Anthony, but Anthony still couldn't take advantage, which meant that the pressure on the defensive end was a little less.

To be honest, the current Knicks lineup is even worse than the original Nuggets. Apart from him and Stoudemire, there is no third stable scoring point. How can a guy like Anthony who only thinks about offense and not much defense be good...

The answer is obvious…

cannot.

If we follow this team-building approach, the meeting between Anthony and the Knicks will still be a mistake.

131 to 105, the Lakers defeated the Knicks in an away game. They started the new season with four consecutive victories. Ji Feng made 6 of 6 three-pointers and scored a game-high 30 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. In the first game of the new season, he scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. The pair arrived as scheduled.

The Lakers once again showed their offensive firepower, with 7 players scoring in double figures, including Kobe with 25 points, Gasol with 14 points, Bynum with 11 points, Farmar with 10 points, Blake with 10 points, and Kapono with 9 points. , the team made 15 of 24 three-pointers, and hit more than 15 three-pointers in 4 consecutive games. This also shows that the Lakers' outside ability is not a flash in the pan, but is truly awesome.

The Knicks can compete with the Lakers at a certain period of time, but the current offensive and defensive levels of the two teams are not at the same level at all.

Anthony, who has high hopes from Knicks fans, also disappointed many people. Although he scored a team-high 28 points, he only made 10 of 21 shots. Although he looked passable, he was afraid of comparison. In addition, His statistics of 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 turnovers, and 4 fouls made him completely left behind by Ji Feng.

Stoudemire's embarrassing performance of only 10 points on 3 of 12 shots also made many people question whether the Knicks' two giants are really in sync.

Some New York media outlets have even said: "It's time to create a wave of Big Three."

In short, this 30-point defeat brought the Knicks back to their original shape overnight. They are still far away from being able to challenge the Lakers.

The Lakers didn't have time to revel after playing this game. The schedule was so abnormal that they had to leave their families on New Year's Eve on the 31st and head to the cold Denver plateau to face Anthony's old club.

The Nuggets completely completed the upgrade last season. Both Billups and Anthony left, which made many people think that the Nuggets were going to die. Although they made the playoffs, many people thought that they were influenced by Anthony. The first half of the season was light.

By this season, the Nuggets lineup has not changed much. Gallinari, Aaron Afflalo, Mozgov, Nene and Lawson make up the starting five. There is also new aid Harrington on the bench. and Ferdinand, as well as rookie Faried.

This group of people, how should I put it, they all know each other, but they are not big names. The Nuggets are a team of ordinary people.

No one in this kind of team thinks they can compete with the Lakers, but on the first day of the new year, in the game on January 1st, they actually played much better than the Knicks!

The Lakers will not give up. On the first day of the new year, under the leadership of Ji Feng, the Lakers have already had the idea of ​​​​a good start. Even if they want to keep a low profile, they have to win this game.

The Lakers played very fiercely from the beginning. Ji Feng went in and dunked. Gallinari became the victim with a confused look on his face, and Mozgov was beside him with lingering fears.

Looking back, Lawson was slapped by Ji Feng and the ball flew out. Lawson, who had not recovered from the baseline ball, was intercepted by Ji Feng. Lawson, who was preparing to defend and wanted to make a good foul, was blocked by Ji Feng. Feng was knocked to the ground with his shoulder, and it was like a chasing three-pointer in front of him.

Lawson could only lie on the floor and watch Ji Feng score the ball.

"A stroke of water." Ji Feng also left trash talk without mercy, which made Lawson almost cry.

After a wave of 8-0, the Lakers got off to a dream start.

However, the progress of the game was different from what people expected. The Nuggets were beaten like this and opened the scoring from Nene. Then Gallinari showed his ability and pulled out twice to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, allowing the Nuggets to score. Evened!

Until the first half of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets clung to the score. The point difference was always around 5 points, and it would have been even smaller if Nene hadn't been blocked by Bynum.

It was not until the 7th minute of the fourth quarter that Ji Feng scored 6 points with 3 consecutive breakthroughs and 2 steals to open the score.

The final score was fixed at 109-102, and the Nuggets only lost by 7 points.
