Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 450

"Of course I think we can win this season. Does that matter? We're one game away from fourth in the East, and with so many games left in the season, it means we're pretty close." It is possible to climb to the top three positions in the Eastern Conference, maybe the second in the Eastern Conference, or the first in the Eastern Conference, this is all possible. When we really climb to the first position in the Eastern Conference, I think you will not ask questions like this Bar?"

The heat of this roundtable discussion continued, and as a Knicks player, it was inevitable that he would be asked the same question.

Stoudemire didn't even think about it, just nodded, why can't he win the championship?Just because their second position is too weak?The bench does not have a reliable substitute who can stand up?And Felton is overrated?
But are these problems?

In 04, the Pistons were questioned that they had no superstars!Didn't they still win the final championship!
There is also the Heat in 06, which was considered very likely to be swept by the Mavericks in the finals. What happened?This team completed the craziest comeback show in NBA Finals history!

Therefore, no matter any team, even the final championship team, it will be questioned before it really becomes the championship.

Moreover, these experts only talk about the Knicks' weaknesses, but ignore their strengths!
In the five games he played with Yi Jianlian, just the two of them averaged nearly 60 points per game. Isn't this statistic rarely achieved in the league?The closest ones should be the Thunder's Kevin Durant and Westbrook. The combined scoring average of the two of them is about 53 points per game, which is still nearly 7 points less than theirs.

What does averaging 7 points per game mean?
That's already a decent role player!
This is only the gap between the Thunder duo who is the closest to them in terms of scoring and their combination. The difference between the duo of other teams is even more, and some even have a difference of more than 15 points.

What does averaging 15 points mean?
Known as one of the best sixth men in history, Manu Ginobili's scoring average is only about this number!

This is their advantage!

But this advantage was ignored by those experts!
"There are many good teams this year, such as the Chicago Bulls, the Spurs, and of course the Big Three of the Heat. Although they had some problems at the beginning of the season, they won a wave of 8 consecutive victories after that. They are also slowly catching up. These are very strong opponents. I think we will encounter great difficulties, but I believe we still have the strength to compete for the championship. At least, we are not as unpopular as the votes at the round table Look good!"

Yi Jianlian also answered this question. His tone was not as strong as Stoudemire's, but he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the results of the round table meeting. In his opinion, even if the Knicks do not have the absolute ability to win the championship this year, they should not be as strong as they were in the round table meeting. As reflected, then not favored!

But it's useless for them to say more, the show has already been aired, and all they can do now is to slap these guys in the face crazily by constantly moving forward!
***
The Knicks continued to maintain a strong posture in the following time. After five consecutive victories, they grabbed three more victories, extending the winning streak to eight games.

With these three victories, the Knicks finally squeezed out the fourth-ranked Magic and ranked in the top four in the Eastern Conference.

When the day when the ranking officially changed came, many New York fans posted "crying" expressions under the relevant news...

It's not easy!The ranking of the top four in the Eastern Conference is really too tiring for New York fans. Although they made it to the playoffs five years ago, they entered the playoffs at the seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Fourth, the upper circles that can gain home court advantage are far from each other.

It is sad to think about it. As the most prosperous city in the United States, the New York Knicks have finally climbed to the upper circle of the East since 2000 until today.

If you look at this ranking from this perspective, it is not difficult to understand that some Knicks fans will make a "crying" expression. They will not really cry because of this ranking, but their mood must be somewhat mixed, especially It is some old fans. When the Knicks were ranked in the top four in the Eastern Conference last time, it was impossible for them to think that the Knicks would regain the top four in the Eastern Conference after more than ten years!

It is worth mentioning that after the Magic were squeezed to fifth in the Eastern Conference by the Knicks, they were quickly squeezed behind by the Miami Heat. Back on track, they, like the Knicks, have a record of unbeaten victories in the last few games, and their winning streak has been increased to 11 games after these victories.

This is currently the only team in the league with more than double-digit winning streak!
This also proves how frightening it is for the team to have many superstars. Even if they perform poorly for a period of time, once they develop their own chemical reaction, their dominance will definitely surpass that of ordinary strong players. A large part of the team.

The third place in the East is the Bucks. After they lost Yi Jianlian, their overall strength has dropped by an unknown number of times. In the last ten games, 7 games have been lost. If it wasn’t for the wave at the beginning of the season The dominance of the high-gloss record, based on the speed of their losses, would have already fallen to the seventh and eighth positions in the Eastern Conference.

Unlike now, it is still firmly in the third place in the East.

It’s just that the difference in the number of wins between the Knicks and the Bucks is less than 2 games. With the current trend, the Knicks will be able to successfully complete the overtake of the Bucks before the arrival of the “Christmas Game” and beat them. Rush to the fourth position, and fourth in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks should stay for a while. In a maximum of two days, the Heat will overtake them!
By that time, the top four in the Eastern Conference will become the Bulls, Celtics, Knicks and Heat!

If you compare it with the same period last season, except for the Celtics in the top four in the Eastern Conference this season, the other three teams have been replaced by new teams, and the change rate has reached a terrifying 70.00%.

"From the continuous transfer of heavyweight players this summer, it has actually been predicted that this year's Eastern Conference, especially the top four in the Eastern Conference, will undergo tremendous changes, but no one expected that the changes will be so great. It's been a year of renewal for the league, but at least so far, we don't know how far-reaching this change will be!"

　Forgot to mention, thank you for the 500 coins rewarded by Juanniao Yuhuaxiang.
