Chapter 208 Capsizing in the gutter?

The festivities brought by the All-Star Weekend are still going on, and the NBA regular season has continued in the smoke.

On February 2, the New York Knicks played at home against the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors have been the weakest team in the league in recent seasons, not one of them.

They haven't made the playoffs for eight straight years, the longest streak in the league right now.

Since Chris Webber left, the Warriors have been cursed. They always have high draft picks, but they can never choose the right person.

Losing day after day, falling year after year, always rebuilding, always rotten.

Under the rectification of young coach Eric Musselman this season, the team finally has the desire and impulse to win. Jason Richardson and Gilbert Arenas have also made explosive progress.

To get the young Warriors back from losing, Eric Musselman turned up the lights on the practice field, repainted the lockers, and changed everything he could think of.

Trying every means to distinguish the Warriors in hand from the fallen Warriors in the past. The Warriors have a new look, and the players have changed their looks. They have become daring and never discouraged.

Facing the defending champion New York Knicks with the league's first record, Eric Musselman played a clip from the movie "Dumb and Dumber" in the locker room before the game:
Lowe: Tell me frankly, do I have a chance (to date you)?

Mary: Probably one in a million.

Roy smiled happily: So, there is still a chance!
After watching the short film, the head coach did not arrange tactics, leaving only a classic line also from this film:

"Don't worry, we will have our luck too, as long as we are always ready."

He then left a group of youngsters in a silent locker room.

When the Knicks players who had won ten consecutive victories walked onto the court, they suddenly found that their opponents were a little different.

People are sometimes irritated by an inconspicuous thing, sometimes moved by an inadvertent moment, and sometimes inexplicably full of fighting spirit because of a sentence!

Today's warriors are blessed with a bloodthirsty halo by Jim Carrey, they are no longer warriors, but——

Berserker!
The starting lineup of "Berserker" is:
Point Guard: Gilbert Arenas

Shooting guard: Jason Richardson

Small Forward: Antawn Jamison
Power Forward: Troy Murphy

Center: Eric Dampier
After a few years, this lineup will be no less powerful and offensive than the All-Star lineup, but at this time, they are still in the abyss, and their reputation is not obvious.

In the first quarter, the "Berserkers" gave the Knicks a surprise.

With Zhao Ke's opening three caps, and Zhao Ke's opening wave, at the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were still behind!
Zhao Ke made 11 of 8 three-pointers and scored 24 points, but his teammates only scored 8 points in total?
拉里休斯5投1中，马特哈普林4投1中，科特托马斯4投1中，内内2投1中，包括一个扣篮扣飞了……

And what about the "Berserker" team?
Jason Richardson made 8 of 5 three-pointers and scored 13 points, including 6 of 3 three-pointers. After eating three hot pots in a row, the defending "Slam Dunk King" hit all the subsequent shots, and he made 3 of 3 three-pointers!
Zhao Ke was wondering, did Richardson steal his "Ritian" bag by eating hot pot?

This black-looking Richardson is actually from Chongqing, right?

In addition, Arenas made 7 of 4 shots and scored 10 points.

Troy Murphy made 5 of 2 shots and scored 4 points.

Antawn Jamison made 5 of 3 shots and scored 6 points.

Eric Dampier made 1 of 1 shots and scored 3 points.

With these seemingly good shooting percentages, the "Berserkers" team led the Knicks by 36 points 32:4.

The Knicks' starting five, except for Zhao Ke, the others all suffered from "holiday syndrome", with severe muscle relaxation and no hand feeling at all.

Jeff Van Gundy blew up from the sidelines, but that didn't change anything.

You know, the shooting percentages of Larry Hughes and Matt Halprin are not all outside shooting percentages.

When they found that the hand feeling was not good, they began to rush to the basket desperately, and still only scored one goal each!

The cold touch is contagious. The already weak offensive lineup was beaten 17:8 by Bob Sura and Mike Dunleavy at the beginning of the second quarter.

The Knicks, who were 12 points behind, couldn't play in an instant, all kinds of nervousness and mistakes.

Zhao Ke, who ran out of skills in the second quarter, made 9 of 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points. This is considered a good shooting percentage, but it was not enough to save the Knicks.

Others still feel cold.

At halftime, the score was 69:58, and the Knicks were still 11 points behind.

In the locker room, Jeff Van Gundy once again emphasized the need to change the style of play. When the hand feels bad, try to score as close to the basket as possible.

Van Gundy misses last season's bench lineup very much. It is known as the deepest bench lineup in the league. Sometimes it scores more points than the starting lineup!
What a sigh when looking at this season's bench.

Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans, Tayshaun Prince, Lagabel, Andre Miller.

There is really no offense that is not in a hurry!
The defense is good, but today's "Berserkers" are jumpers for all people, and they don't give the defenders a chance to make a contribution. They shoot when they catch the ball, and run if they don't make a shot!

At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhao Ke changed his style of play, shooting around 40% was not enough to save the team, so let's bomb the basket!

If the teammates are not allowed, then shoulder it.

Every time Zhao Ke picked up the dynamite bag, flew past the "Berserker" like a butterfly wearing flowers, and danced on the basket fearlessly!
Fans at Madison Square Garden seem to have seen the fearless Zhao Ke who was pulled from the air 3 times against the revenge Spurs on March 3 last year.

The difference is that in that game, Knicks fans initially accepted Zhao Ke and gave him a lot of cheers and applause. Zhao Ke was also very flamboyant, showing off his muscles and posing POSS.

But this year, Zhao Ke always jumped off the rim with a blank expression after raging, and then there was no more. It seemed that the beautiful windmill slam dunk just now was performed by Jason Richardson of the "Berserkers" team.

Knicks fans reacted very coldly, except for a few Zhao Ke's diehard fans screaming, the vast Madison Garden actually gave people a sense of desolation, although it was obviously full of people.

It looks like I'm going to lose today, and I still have to lose to the bottom team in the league. The stars are shameless, and the fans want it too!
The tsundere Knicks fans did not boo it already to save face...
