Learning in the NBA can make you a god

In the last few minutes of the game, Randolph kept talking around Garnett, talking trash and prodding Garnett all the time.

"Shua!" After taking a step back and throwing off Pierce's defense, he made another three-pointer. This three-pointer became the last straw that crushed the Green Army.

At 98:89, the Knicks won the game with difficulty. It took more than 40 fouls for the Knicks to win the game.

Another triple-double, 35 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds.

Breaking again, ESPN's predictions for the new season slapped them hard.The new season started with two consecutive victories, and also won the strong Celtics.

Such a team, you say can't make the playoffs?With a triple-double of 30+, you say they are only ranked tenth?

"Papa papa!" The slap in the face kept ringing.

"ESPN, do you still think that the Knicks can't make the playoffs?" O'Neal once again slapped his face with a message under ESPN.

After the Knicks finished the game, they flew back to New York overnight. They had to face the Trail Blazers back to back. This game, for them, was the real challenge.

O'Neal has to rest in the game. He was exhausted in the last game, so he must rest, otherwise he is prone to injuries, which will be even more troublesome.

"Walsh, how is the transaction going?" Li Tian came to the general manager's office. The team must not have a backup center. They need a center who can play fast break, and Jordan is the best choice.

"No way, our chips can't impress them at all. We need to give Douglas and Randolph more time. They need to perform better, otherwise it will be very difficult to trade."

Walsh's meaning is very clear, that is, people want to trade, but you don't have the right chips.

"I understand. In the next few games, I will give them some opportunities to perform. Will it be easier?"

He looked at Walsh with a smile.

"Yes." Walsh is very happy. He likes such a player with strong ability and high emotional intelligence. May I ask which team's general manager doesn't like such a player.

Being able to lead the team to victory in the game, and leading the team to train at other times, without causing trouble, and there is no lace news.

Walsh found that this season he was much more relaxed, and he didn't have to deal with any lace news for the players at all. Dolan was so busy every day that he had nothing to do on the team's side, so he had to vent.

Everything in the team is going on in an orderly manner, the only thing missing is the center.

The last game at the end of October was also the Knicks' first home game of the season. Their opponent was the Portland Trail Blazers.

This season's Trail Blazers, Roy returned from injury, Oden has been confirmed, missed this season, their future, because Oden was suddenly interrupted.

Roy and Aldridge have really grown up too.

Both teams have won two consecutive victories. Of course, the Knicks' attention is not comparable to that of the Blazers. Especially after winning the Celtics, no team dares to underestimate the Knicks.

ESPN also obediently put them in the playoff sequence.

This game is also a challenge for the Knicks, and O'Neal will definitely choose to rest.This is a mandatory rotation for O'Neal, regardless of his wishes. Of course, O'Neal will not choose to appear, and whoever can rest will not choose to rest.

"Turiaf, you play the starting center, don't have psychological pressure, just protect the rebounds, the outside line will not give them too many opportunities to hit the basket.

Randolph must be ready to catch the ball and put more focus on the offensive end. "

D'Antoni was arranged by the management to tilt the team's resources towards Randolph. Of course, the purpose is also very clear.

"No problem!" Randolph was very excited, he did not realize that the team did this to trade him out.

In this way, the starting lineup was easily and happily set.

Knicks starters: Lowry, Tony Allen, Li Tian, ​​Randolph, Turiaf;
Portland starters: Miller, Roy, Batum, Aldridge, Marcus Camby.

"Aldridge and Camby, we have the advantage inside, we must be prepared for a strong attack; Roy, give the ball more inside to create singles opportunities for them, understand?" McMillan saw that O'Neal did not appear, and keenly discovered that the weakness of this Knicks team is the inside, so their goal is very clear.

Camby won the jump ball, and Roy dribbled the ball across the half. Mr. Tony didn't give him any chance to break through.

I have been looking for a breakthrough opportunity, and I have gone to the left 45 degrees from the top of the arc.

Roy observed his teammates on the right, especially the inside position.

Seeing the opportunity, Li Tian left Batum and quickly came up to double-team Roy.

Tony also took a step forward and clung to him, trying to snatch the ball from Roy's hands. The two double-teamed. Roy didn't expect that the first ball at the beginning of the game would be so brutal.

"Di!" The two kept fighting, but the referee immediately blew his whistle, and Mr. Tony and Roy competed for the ball.

Relying on his experience, Mr. Tony passed the ball to Turiaf, and then handed it to Lowry to launch a fast break.

"Bang!" Lowry threw the ball high into the air. After Li Tian caught the ball, he made a tomahawk-style dunk and scored his first goal at Madison Square.

"Li Tian! Li Tian! Li Tian!" The fans started to cheer for him after seeing the wonderful performance.

They yelled so familiarly, as if they had practiced, but it was true that in the first two seasons, they turned back in Madison to cheer for Li Tian and Kobe.

Looking back, Roy used the pick-and-roll to hand it over to Aldridge inside.

"Randolph, defend well, don't give him a chance!" Turiaf called Randolph.

They can also feel the weakness of the inside line, but there is no way, the team did not have time to strengthen, and it took too much energy and time to recruit Li Tian in the early stage.

Relying on his height advantage, Aldridge hit high and hit a mid-range shot.

The two teams returned to the same starting line.

"Be sure to lock their outside line, don't give them a chance to pass the ball, double-team, and be prepared to double-team!" Li Tian called Lowry and Teacher Tony, and explained in a low voice.

The two nodded. There is no need to explain this kind of thing at all. They are not big-name players, but players who are willing to do dirty work.

Looking at the Knicks, Li Tian is the only one, plus McGrady and O'Neal. The three of them can relax a little bit on the defensive end. No matter who the other players are, they must strengthen their defense.

Every time D'Antoni starts a game, he has explained this aspect, otherwise he will be refrigerated by the team. The Knicks are really not short of money.

After the strength of the perimeter defense increased, Li Tian also intentionally attracted Aldridge to double-team on the offensive end, creating many opportunities for Randolph. Camby was dragged by Turiaf, and he was not given the opportunity to defend Randolph at all.

"You don't want to break through. It's too easy to let you go. It's really tiring to defend Kobe, but I don't even break a sweat defending you." Teacher Tony began to engage in Roy's mentality.

Roy's ability is good, but he has never played in the playoffs at all. How can he know how terrifying these guys with rich experience in the playoffs are?

"Damn it, I'm better than Kobe." Just ask the guards of this era, who doesn't dream of surpassing Kobe, and which guard doesn't regard Kobe as his idol.

Hearing being so stimulated by Tony Allen, he no longer considered giving the ball to the inside, and swung his right hand, trying to squeeze Teacher Tony in front of him.

Fall to the ground!

"Dick!" The referee was also very cooperative and gave Roy an offensive foul. This was his fourth foul. The game was only in the third quarter, and the starting guard got his fourth foul. This is not good news.

Teacher Tony made two free throws!

48:56 The Knicks lead by 8 points!
"Very good, he looks like a rookie in front of you." Lowry celebrated with Tony who completed the free throw. Of course, he must have chosen to say this sentence when he walked past Roy.

"Calm down, you must be calm!" The experienced Miller reminded Roy.

Although he forced himself to calm down, Roy's mentality was still messed up, and it was not so easy to quickly stabilize his mentality.

"Touch!" Aldridge wanted to do the same, like in the first half, easily singled out Randolph, was interfered by double-teaming Li Tian, ​​and shot out of the frame.

Turiaf picks up the rebound!

The loss of O'Neal has a great impact on the Knicks' rebounding. The combination of Randolph and Turiaf has little chance of competing for rebounds in the face of the combination of Aldridge and Camby, who are not weaker in height and experience than themselves.

"Randolph, catch the ball!" Lowry once again gave the ball to Randolph, who was open, and made a mid-range shot.

Li Tian's threat was too great. In the second half, McMillan had to choose to double-team him in order to suppress the Knicks' strongest scoring point.

"Little guy, you're still too tender, go back and rest." Randolph didn't know who gave him the courage, and ran up to Roy, talking trash.

As the time ticked by, Roy's mentality was about to collapse. The Knicks, no matter who they were, would come over and spray some words when they saw Rose on the court.

"You are not as good as Tony, you can't break through Lowry at all, you are not as fast as Lee, you are really too lazy, and your score is not as high as Aldridge"

Every sentence was a murderous sentence, and Roy, who was angry, soon received his fifth foul.

Seeing that the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, during a breakthrough, he bumped into Randolph, who was defending, and flew upside down.

After standing up, Roy was obviously still a little uncomfortable. McMillan also made a quick change and replaced Roy. In the following time, he did not arrange a starting debut.

"Guys, you are really great, you are the best players!" D'Antoni praised them without hesitation after the game.

Li Tian scored 32 points in this game. What is incredible is that Randolph also scored 18 points, which turned out to be the team's second scorer.

Even Lowry and Mr. Tony only scored 17 and 15 points, but everything is a good thing for the team to win.

After the end of the three-game winning streak, the Knicks have four or five days of rest, and they can properly adjust their state in New York.

"Randolph, don't worry, you must make a decisive shot. As long as the defense can't affect you and the ball is in your hands, you must make a decisive shot. Do you understand?"

D'Antoni gave Randolph a psychological massage again. In fact, he said the same to Turiaf, let them make a decisive shot, don't worry about all this, and miss the shot.

In the next few games, it can be said that in the Knicks, apart from Li Tian, ​​Randolph's performance is the most eye-catching. The statistics are so gorgeous.

"Randolph, empty pick!" Lowry called out to Randolph, connecting the inside and outside lines. This is a wonderful thing.

"Vote, don't worry, I'll help you block people!" Li Tian said.

Randolph was so moved that he almost cried. He was definitely the brightest kid on the team. Look, the boss of the team helped me block people, set a cover for me and let me shoot.

For a moment, he felt that he was the player with the highest status in the team, except for Li Tian.

Even McGrady is the same. When the substitute and Randolph came on the court together, he gave the ball more to Randolph to shoot, and he just held the defense for it.

Against the Bulls, the team won, Randolph scored 17 points!
Back-to-back games against the Wizards, O'Neal rested, and Randolph got more opportunities. In order to create scoring opportunities for him, D'Antoni directly put him at the center position.

The request is very clear, as long as you shake McGee, you can make a move!
In this game, the Knicks won again. Randolph shook McGee 8 times, easily hit 7 mid-range shots, and scored 16 points again.

The Knicks played a strong 5-game winning streak. On the other hand, the Heat had a miserable record of 4 wins and 2 losses. They lost to the Hornets led by Paul on the same day.

The four games they won were all lottery teams, and they lost to the Celtics and Hornets. The record is good, but it doesn't look so dazzling.

The Knicks took the No. [-] spot in the Eastern Conference.

Back in Madison, the Knicks finally got their first loss, a loss to the Digital Men, after a disastrous start to the season.The team boss Iguodala was injured and missed the game. With a record of 5 losses and 1 win in the start, the Knicks' winning streak will inevitably breed contempt. Not surprisingly, the Knicks lost.

But the team lost, but Randolph didn't lose. It's just so amazing. When others feel average, he continues to feel overwhelming today. He shot 14 of 8 and scored 20 points, setting a record for his highest score in a single game this season.

For a while, the Warriors regretted it to death. Walsh even received a call from the Warriors management, asking if he could be traded back, but Walsh refused. Their goal was clear, which was to trade a center forward. The Warriors did not have a suitable bargaining chip at this point, so they could only let it go.

Playing against the Bucks again, the Bucks players have been scared by him for a long time. Now it can be said that they want to turn around and run when they see him.But this season, Jennings did not have the impetuousness of last season, and his progress is still good.

Still not able to resist, the Knicks team under the leadership of Li Tian, ​​as soon as the defensive intensity of the outside line increased, gave Jennings 6 fouls, which was a shame to throw at grandma's house.

Randolph once again performed brilliantly, scoring 18 points. If it wasn't for his unusual appearance, Li Tian would have thought he was a 'vacuum mug'.
