The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Kudos to everyone in the Knicks for this game!

ESPN: "The team spirit and tenacity shown by the Knicks players in the game is the key to their continued victory."

With the team feeling average, relying on the performance of key players and the defense of all members, the Knicks finally won the game.

Zuo Li's defense, Randolph's offense, Curry's passing, and the team's coordinated operations all left a deep impression on the audience!

Of course, there is also their unyielding will and unwillingness to admit defeat.

In all kinds of unfavorable situations, when the hand feeling is not good, the body is exhausted after successive battles, and the external pressure is huge, they can still bite at the critical moment, so what else can stop them?

The 20-game winning streak is already an unattainable record for many teams, and the 22-game winning streak has tied the second-longest winning streak in league history created by the Rockets, which is already an immortal achievement.

Now, everyone knows that there is only one record ahead of the Knicks, and that is the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

Of course, the 22-game winning streak is still far from the 33-game winning streak. No one thinks that the Knicks will definitely break the record of the Lakers at this time, but they are indeed the closest team to this record besides the Rockets for so many years. .

Of course, the Knicks team did not regard the 33-game winning streak as a must-achieve goal, especially after these few games that were not particularly smooth, the Knicks felt a sense of unloading the burden.

Although the previous victories were gratifying, the feeling of wanting to win and fear of losing has always affected the state of the Knicks. There is no way, honor sometimes becomes a burden. Almost no one can escape such emotions, including Zuo Li. After all , who doesn't want to keep winning.

But after these few games, Zuo Li and the others also figured it out. Anyway, it is already the second in history, and it doesn't matter if they lose. No one will use the inability to break the Lakers' 33-game winning streak as a means of attacking others.

After thinking through all this, and looking back at the victories one after another, the desire to fight in the locker room reached its peak.

"Enjoy the game." Zuo Li posted on his INS.

On December 12, the Knicks flew to the Denver Plateau to face the Nuggets. After half a month, the two teams ushered in a second battle.

In the first game, Anthony, who had no interest in fighting and only cared about his own performance, easily ruined the victory of the game.

His singles are indeed unsolvable in a sense. In the entire NBA history, Anthony's personal offensive strength can be ranked first.

Everyone only knows the three threats, but they don’t know that Anthony’s personal skills are very comprehensive. In addition to face-to-frame skills, his back-up ability is also excellent. He can layup, throw, hook shot, emergency stop fake shot and complete the action. He can flexibly use 2+1 Skills, stable shooting, and excellent three-point shooting make his attack range cover the entire three-point range.

At the same time, his strong body makes him not afraid of any level of confrontation in the third position, even if the opponent is at the level of James.

Fans who like Melon must still remember a game. Anthony, who moved to the Knicks in 12, scored 42 points and led the team to win the top three Heat, which made James feel numb.

And since he entered the league, his scoring ability has also been compared at Kobe's level, which shows that his singles has a status in the hearts of fans.

But strong is strong, Zuo Li has always felt that Anthony's style of play cannot adapt to the overall team.

One is defense. It's not that he can't defend. With his physical fitness, he can defend freely. He was the most active and efficient defensive player in 2009. He also led the team to the Western Conference Finals, but he just didn't want to defend.

Offense wins games, and defense wins championships.If a team's defense is not good, it is impossible to go further in the playoffs.

Anthony's existence is basically equal to four defenses and five defenses. It is impossible to win, especially at critical moments, it is too easy to be targeted.

The second is that he does not have a team, and it is difficult for one person to score in the end. Although Anthony is a scoring machine, it is difficult for him to connect a team together.

Before Billups came, the Nuggets were in the first round every year. After Billups came, he brought organization and defense, which allowed the Nuggets to rise rapidly.

Anthony is so alone this season. He averaged 20 assists per game in the first 1.5 games, but the Nuggets still rank fifth. It is said that there are still a bunch of newcomers waiting to be fed.

In this rematch, the Knicks still focused on Billups. Beverly made his first start of the season. Belinelli was replaced by Danny Green after 3 minutes and 45 seconds. It is to use the strongest perimeter defensive lineup.

Anthony, on the other hand, is basically one-on-one with Battier. He will attack from the left when he enters the inside, and ignores the Knicks when he shoots outside.

So Anthony played very well in this game. He took 24 shots and hit 10 goals, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 7 free throws, 29 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.

29 points is also the highest score in the game, one point higher than Zuo Li's 28 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, but the overall statistics, Zuo Li won numb.

This is the difference between Zuo Li. He can score, he can score high, and he has proved his scoring ability. He is not soft at critical moments, but he is a team player. He was needed to score last season, and he kept scoring. He is needed this season. When covering for his teammates, he will raise the organization, and the defense is also meticulous, never paddling.

This is why Zuo Li can bring a team dominated by rookies to the height of the championship.

In this game, although Anthony played very well, the Nuggets still lost 105-113 at home.

The reason why they only lost 8 points is that Billups' 12 points and 11 assists are very critical. He allowed this jr nerve knife to score 18 points, otherwise the loss may be even more.

After the game, Anthony said in a good mood that although the Knicks didn't stop the winning streak, they played well.

However, Nuggets fans are obviously not as optimistic as Anthony, because after this game, the Nuggets have also become the background of a new history.

After completing the double play against the Nuggets in the season, the Knicks also officially broke the Rockets' 07-game winning streak in the 08-22 season, and enjoyed the second-longest winning streak in NBA history with 23 consecutive victories!

After the game, the Knicks team also raised 2 and 3 fingers respectively to celebrate this historic moment.

And Dayao, McGrady, Uncle Mu and other Rockets celebrities also sent messages to congratulate the Knicks.

It is worth mentioning that Battier has become the No.1 winning streak in history, because he participated in these two winning streaks as a Rockets player and a Knicks player respectively.

According to this, Battier is the ceiling of the winning streak.

Shane Battier also sent two photos respectively, namely Yao Mai and Zuo Li, and joked: "Look, it turns out how important it is to hug your thighs tightly!"
