The Point Guard is Here - chapter 390
Remember [New] for a second,! As the New York Knicks’ winning streak continues to expand, Fanhee has rushed to the first place in the regular season MVP rankings, followed by Minnesota Timberwolves’ Garnett in second place, and the third place has been two consecutive MVPs. Tim Duncan, followed by O’Neal and Kobe Bryant on the Lakers.
The Timberwolves have achieved a dazzling counterattack this year and are the biggest dark horse in the West. The joining of Marbury coincides with the peak of Garnett, and they can even slightly threaten the status of the ok combination in the duo.
The New York Knicks’ 22nd winning streak was against the Timberwolves at home. In the first half of the season, the Knicks met the Timberwolves in Minnesota. At that time, Fan Xi was invincible with four hands and lost to the Timberwolves.
And this time, the strong Knicks did not let the Timberwolves retreat.
It was a very, very, very intense game.
Garnett and Marbury played a very shocking game, they almost won all the chips in New York in the first three quarters. .
But entering the fourth quarter, from the moment Mutombo blocked Marbury’s inevitable layup and shook his iconic index finger, the Knicks blew the clarion call.
Fan Xi first dislocated Marbury in the paint area and scored consecutively. Then he assisted Reggie Miller to hit a three-pointer, and then made a strong and weak side transfer with Sprewell, frequently cutting the Timberwolves’ defense.
At this time, Juwan Howard pulled off to the periphery to play a decisive role.
This little old man, who looked ordinary in Orlando, came to the Knicks, and his mid-to-long-range shots made defenders hard to guard. Vaguely has the demeanor of Mr. Billion Yuan back then.
It is also interesting to say that when the NBA was shut down, the three major sources of fuse were gathered in this game. The three big contracts of Juwan Howard, Van Hee and Garnett directly caused the labor and management to open the table… But after the lockout, the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers benefited the most.
These two teams took advantage of the situation and monopolized all championships after the lockout.
Now, it’s time to turn the page.
After all, Garnett has started to sign the second billion-dollar contract, Fan Xi has signed the second billion-dollar contract, and Zhu Wan Howard… He fired his agent, and he is now a small middle class.
With 3 minutes left in the game, the Knicks, who were once trailing by 11 points, stubbornly overtook the score, which was a death cross for Timberwolves fans.
They haven’t had a chance to lead since then.
Neither Stephen Marbury nor Kevin Garnett struggled to change the situation further.
This game revealed that the Timberwolves lacked a super ball-handler who really nailed the ball at crucial moments. Marbury’s finishing ability was good, but he was sticking to the ball. Although Kevin Garnett averages good points per game and is extremely versatile, he grabs defensive and offensive rebounds, allowing him to singled out points at critical moments to seal the victory, which is somewhat embarrassing for him.
After all, so far, Kevin Garnett’s career-high scoring 42 points is hardly a superstar. (Garnett’s career high was 47 points against a completely defenseless Suns in 2005, and he also lost that game.)
101:96.
The Knicks eventually won the victory without a hitch.
Fan Xi’s two one-on-one singles at critical moments sealed the victory.
This game not only extended the Knicks’ winning streak to 22 games, but also lost Garnett’s biggest advantage in the regular season MVP competition.
Minnesota beat the Knicks.
However, now the Knicks have won back.
And, with the Knicks’ winning streak, the Knicks’ total record will surpass the Timberwolves.
Although Garnett’s various data have entered the top 20 in the league.
However, Fan Xi’s data is not bad. He is now only 0.1 points away from Tracy McGrady, who is ranked first in scoring, and also ranks first in assists. He is also the player with the most triple-doubles this season. … already 6 times.
The increase in strength, explosiveness, and jumping makes Van Hee competitive in the penalty area.
If Van Hee wants to record a triple-double, it feels like he can get that stat every game.
With the double hurricane of record and data, Fan Xi’s momentum on the court has become more and more mighty, and the discussion about whether he is the first perimeter of the league has become more and more undisputed. As for the strongest point guard, no one has talked about it for a long time.
People are now analyzing whether the Knicks can break out of the siege in the East, and whether the Knicks’ aging inside lineup can carry the heavy responsibility in the playoffs.
After all, Mutombo, the shot-blocking king, Juwan Howard, and Anthony Mason are all going to fight against the Wallace Brothers, Shaquille O’Neal, Duncan or Garnett.
As we all know, in the playoffs, the inside advantage is the real advantage.
However, Fan Xi was not worried at all.
After the team won 22 consecutive victories, a new internal problem emerged.
That’s Isiah Thomas.
The general manager suddenly found Fan Xi mysteriously after the team defeated the Timberwolves: “Jack, I think I can do Don Cheney’s work too.”
After Isaiah Thomas hasn’t traded recently, he’s been on a tear. Gossiping with old rival Michael Jordan became less and less satisfying for his increasingly empty mind.
Especially when he saw that the team’s record was getting better and better and the Knicks’ chances of winning the championship were getting bigger and bigger, he moved his coaching mind.
After all, Don Cheney is just a paid mascot in the locker room.
Who can’t be a mascot.
Isaiah Thomas promised that he would never interfere with Fan Xi’s coaching, and that Fan Xi would execute whatever tactics he wanted to play.
“I just covet the reputation of a champion coach.”
It is rare in the world to be as honest as Isaiah Thomas.
He justifiably acts as a ‘villain’, which is probably why he clearly has a super resume of suppressing magic birds and is still not well-known in basketball history. To know that he was defeated, Bird Bird and Magic Johnson were called the two men who ruled the 1980s, and Michael Jordan, who was blocked by him for five seasons, was even more sought after as the **** of basketball.
He was still the smiling assassin of the year.
“I’m not convinced.” Thomas said sadly, “Jack, I think my fame can go further. This needs your help.”
When he said this, he didn’t forget to talk about the past when he excavated Fan Xi in the training camp. He said that the first time he saw Fan Xi, he knew Fan Xi was not an ordinary person. Among those children, Fan Xi seemed to be haloed. Shrouded, is the son of heaven, an omniscient and almighty God bestowed by God to the basketball world!
If Isaiah Thomas’s theism is known to Lloyd, he must be refuted.
Fan Xi hesitated.
Isaiah Thomas has a good relationship with him, and he makes sense. Although a little selfish, but reasonable.
However, the cooperation between him and Don Cheney has been very harmonious. With just one look, Don Cheney can understand what he means. Don Cheney’s most valuable quality is that he knows his position, and he is not completely out of coaching. Fan Xi has not been arrogant enough to take over the tactical board.
Don Cheney is actually a good coach, but he has a quiet personality.
And, he really didn’t do anything wrong, he was a little different from every player.
If Isaiah Thomas comes in, Fanhey can’t guarantee that the locker room will still maintain the original harmony. At least Reggie Miller might have some ideas, veterans like Anthony Mason and Mutombo, and Lloydt….
Van Hee is now the leader.
He needs to be in charge, there are so many things he needs to think about.
So, he said to Isiah Thomas, “You let me think again.”
Thomas left in despair.
But then he sent Fancie a long text message explaining his thoughts.
Fan Xi has a big head.
Fortunately, this did not affect Fan Xi’s next move. He beat the Chicago Bulls in the next game, continuing to extend the team’s winning streak.
In this game, Grant Hill came back.
In fact, a week after the All-Star break, Hill went back to the practice gym, from solo workouts to confrontation workouts, Van Heede and the team doctors made sure he was fully recovered before letting him play.
He played 3 minutes against the Chicago Bulls.
In order to prove that he still has strong strength, he completed the split and dunk in a fast break.
Fan Xi made a preliminary estimate, and Hill’s explosive power was only 70% of the peak. The speed is about 80%.
However, this has not supported him to become a superstar on his own.
Fan Xi told him a long time ago that he hoped that he would transform.
Transform into a playmaker who doesn’t want to move, shoot 3-pointers, sneak out the back door, and do some defensive work.
This is indeed a bit unacceptable to the once glorious Jordan successor.
However, in the subsequent game against the Atlanta Hawks, Fan Xi let him play for about 7 minutes. Under the defense of Boris Diao, he was stole twice in the pinch.
It made him realize where he was now.
Then, in Miami, he kept a low profile.
He played 11 minutes in this game, and he formed the toughest back line defense with Fan Xi and Madman, which made Pat Riley look greedy for a while.
Pat Riley has always wanted to build a strong five-man team of forwards, and he thinks this will become the trend in the league.
God’s operator’s vision is still precise.
However, his recent situation has not been so good. Although his pick of Dwyane Wade is very strong, he obviously cannot build a good chemistry with Lamar Odom and Rasu Butler, and they simply do not have the ability to challenge the playoffs.
Pat Riley said to Fanshee after the game: “If you want to get good results next season, you must trade a few big centers over 260 pounds, otherwise you will not be able to pose a threat to the centers in the West.”
Riley still cares about Van Hee. Over the years, he has praised Fan Xi, no matter the highs and lows.
He even regretted not being more bold in 1996. If Fan Xi was recruited to the Heat and partnered with Peak Mourning, it might not have been possible for him to win a championship in the chaos. At least he thinks the Spurs have a chance to win the championship.
Fan Xi was surprised why Pat Riley said that next season, he asked Pat Riley: Do I have no chance this season?
“no.”
Pat Riley shook his head and said, “The Lakers with the Big Four will win the championship without any suspense.”
“Also, you may not be able to get past the Pistons.”
This sentence brought a lot of motivation to Fan Xi, and he has always been a style that does not believe in evil.
Pat Riley said he couldn’t win the championship, he wanted to.
When returning from Miami to New York, Van Heed found that Tracy McGrady had been scoring a lot in recent games, and he was once again leading Van Heed by 0.2 points on the scoring list.
Although the Magic have not won in the past three games, McGrady’s scores are 35, 36 and 38 respectively.
Because Alan Houston is injured, Alan Houston can no longer be a destabilizing factor that prevents him from becoming a scoring champion, and he can let it go.
Although this makes the Magic management a little sad, because they don’t want to cheapen the Knicks.
The inner logic is: the more points McGrady scores, the more the Magic can’t win the ball, the more the Magic can’t win the ball, the lower the record, the lower the record, the higher the probability of getting a high-level draft pick, and the higher… Are the Knicks cheaper?
When the Magic and the Knicks traded Alan Houston, they felt they took a big advantage and gave the Knicks an unprotected draft right. Meaning, even if the Magic got the No. 1 pick in 2004, they had to hand it over to the Knicks.
At that time, who would have thought that Alan Houston would end up like this when he arrived at the Magic? At the time, it was thought that Alan Houston, who was good at shooting, would become Tracy McGrady’s Scottie Pippen.
Who knows, Tracy McGrady doesn’t pass the ball at all. He was always looking for talent before, but now he can’t even stand a shooter like Alan Houston.
After most of the season, Alan Houston was injured.
Also, the injury was serious.
Alan Houston was probably seriously injured by Tracy McGrady, and he was thinking about laying flat, not worrying about the season reimbursement, and even thinking about simply retiring like this… equivalent to a white-collar salary.
Alan Houston’s billion-dollar contract has just begun.
At that time, the Magic thought that it was sending a sick big contract to the Knicks and replacing it with an all-around shooter with full combat effectiveness.
Now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the ill Grant Hill is back and playing well. Alan Houston is abolished… Does our team have to support a high-paying waste?
The Magic have a new plan, and they’re starting to wonder if the problem is with McGrady?
Hire Hill and Maddie as partners, but Hill reimbursed them.
Find Alan Houston, Alan Houston reimbursed again.
Is Maddie a bit of a partner?
The Magic wanted to send McGrady away, who was fighting for the scoring title.
However, McGrady is still fighting spirit. He declared to the outside world: Fan Xi could not take the scoring title from him.
To be honest, Fan Xi is not very interested in the scoring title, he has not deliberately chased the scoring title, and it is the best.
Therefore, he simply ignored McGrady and played his own ball.
Just then, the backyard caught fire.
The fire in the backyard directly rewrote the process of the alliance.
