After the game against the Warriors, Sun Yue "knowing his shame and then being brave", practiced his shooting for two consecutive days, hoping to show a qualified performance in the next game and strive to enter the team's rotation.

The problem of Sun Yue's weak shooting ability has been around for a long time. Even when he is playing in the national team or in the amateur league in the United States, it is mostly said that Sun Yue's height of 205 has silky dribbling, comprehensive skills, and low-level players. There was also a sharp breakthrough in the confrontation, and no one praised his shooting.

But when I came to the NBA, I had to face this problem.Even if it is Ke Yan, even if he is in the Knicks, even if Curry is a point guard with very good off-ball ability, there is no possibility for Sun Yue to hold the ball. Very limited.

Sun Yue's extra practice of "holding the Buddha's feet before death" did not show the effect in the second game.The Knicks challenged the Bobcats in an away game. Sun Yue made 4 of 0 shots in the game and scored 2 points only by free throws.

But compared to the previous game, Sun Yue's performance has also improved.On the offensive end, Sun Yue sent out 3 assists, two of which were given to Jordan, who helped retreat and completed two dunks under the basket; on the defensive end, Sun Yue not only grabbed 4 rebounds, but also carried Played the important task of defending against Andre Miller, and used his height and wingspan to create considerable trouble for the opponent's post-up singles!

In the whole game, Andre Miller made 19 of 9 shots and scored 22 points. Compared with the first round of the two teams, both production and efficiency have declined to a certain extent.

In the previous match between the two teams, Curry's performance was relatively poor, and he was somewhat restricted by Bell. In this game, he did not allow this scene to repeat itself.Facing the defensive giants who have been in the league for many years, Curry combined his shots and bursts to suppress his opponents with his comprehensive offensive skills.

Throughout the game, Curry scored 25 points and 8 assists, stable and efficient.Jordan, who eats all the cakes in the interior, scored a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds. This is his second double-double in the Knicks.

The Knicks played steadily and defeated the Bobcats with a score of 107:98, widening the gap with the Eagles to two games. (17-9) locked in the No. [-] seed in the Eastern Conference before Christmas.

. . . . . .

After participating in the Christmas game as the "defending champion" for several consecutive seasons, in 09, Ke Yan was finally able to spend Christmas at home with his family.

It's not just Christmas. According to the schedule, after the game with the Bobcats on the night of the 23rd, the Knicks got a 4-day holiday. There will be no game until the 27th. The opponent is the old club Atlanta Hawks.

On Christmas Eve, Wang Zhenyao and Zhou Yun also came to New York to celebrate Christmas with Wang Lifan and Ke Yan.Compared with Ke Guowei and Yuan Yue, who are not very aware of this aspect, after all, they have lived in the United States for 20 years, and they do as the Romans do, basically celebrating Chinese festivals and American festivals.

Huo Qingshu was also invited to come to her home for Christmas. When she was in Atlanta, she celebrated Christmas with a group of Chinese classmates. She would not be lonely, but she didn't live in New York for a long time, and the person she knew the most was Ke Yan.

Ke Yan originally planned to call Sun Yue to come with him, but this guy "had a date with a beautiful woman", and in turn asked Ke Yan to recommend a restaurant.

Sun Yue's appearance is not as delicate as Yang Ming's, and he doesn't have such an "atmosphere" as Ke Yan, but he has good facial features on the whole, and with a height of 205, he is not at all lethal to women.Counting the one who messed with him in the car, there are three or four people who made it public.

I don't know if it is the later "CBA first wife" Chen Lu.

Of course, as long as the players don't violate his rules, Ke Yan doesn't bother to care about their private life until after two o'clock in the evening.Immediately, according to Sun Yue's financial situation, he recommended a restaurant to him.

After hanging up the phone and returning to the house, Huo Qingshu was leaning on Wang Lifan's stomach, feeling the beating of the "baby".

Wang Lifan looked at Huo Qingshu's movement with smiling eyes, raised his head to look at Ke Yan, showing a "helpless" expression.Since she was pregnant, it seems that many people like to do such actions.

In fact, it's only two months now, how can there be such a thing as "the child kicked her".

"Did you choose a good name for the baby?" After listening for a while, Huo Qingshu straightened up "satisfied" and asked.

"The baby comes out of Never's belly, she decides."

"You're just lazy!" Huo Qingshu wrinkled his nose and complained, but he was very envious of Wang Lifan in his heart.

Ke Yan really respects Wang Lifan and takes care of her emotions.

"I'm going back to Atlanta in a few days. Guess, will the fans at the Phillips Center welcome you or boo you?" Huo Qingshu asked.

"I'm asking this question. I walked so honorably. If someone booed me, I've paid the wrong money all these years!"

The fact is exactly as Ke Yan expected. When Ke Yan appeared in the Phillips Center, he was treated like a hero. The fans welcomed Ke Yan with applause. Many fans held signs. He saw that there was a Chinese saying "Welcome back , our superhero"!

This game is not only Ke Yan's first return to Atlanta against his old team, but also a direct dialogue between the No. During the game, many Huaxia fans expressed their dissatisfaction online.

"It is also the second point guard selected by Kimi. Curry is following the road that Paul once walked, on the road to becoming a superstar. I don't know what Paul is thinking now?" Seeing that Paul came to Keyan on his own initiative before the game Hug him next to him, Barkley joked.

"To be honest, I think Kimi should like Curry more than Paul. He said before the draft that I was going to pick Messi." Things. Since the beginning of the new century, there are a total of 9 No. [-] picks. Four of them performed in line with expectations. Two of them were selected by Kimi! And Kimi was optimistic about KD and Aldridge before they officially entered the league."

"Maybe the team holding the No. [-] pick next year should find a hacker to hack into Kimi's computer and see who he prefers~"

"Ha ha!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the match officially started!

After the opening, the Eagles double shot in the backcourt. . . . . .It should be said that under the leadership of the outside three shots, the Knicks were suppressed,

The wing of the Eagles is a combination of Joe Johnson + Batum, a "contemporary Jordan" and a "French Pippen", no one is easy to deal with!What's more, the Knicks' starting wing combination is Matthews + Sun Yue, a "first-year rookie" and a "basic salary player".

Facing Ke Yan's "preferred" Curry, Paul is also determined to prove that he is the best guard selected by Ke Yan in this game.He reduced his role on the offensive end, delivered more shells to his teammates, and devoted his energy to the defensive end.

Whether it's core strength or running off the ball, Curry can't take advantage of Paul; including the offense after the pick-and-roll, Paul's speed around the screen is also very fast, plus some deterrent defenses The action caused considerable trouble for Curry's offense!

Ke Yan thought that this game was not easy to play, but he didn't expect that Paul would choose to "exchange" with Curry. He was a little under-prepared, and O'Neal's strong output in the paint failed to help the team win.

In the end, the Eagles beat the Knicks 107:91 at home, narrowing the gap with the opponent. (17-10)

In the whole game, Curry made 17 of 7 shots, 7 of 2 three-pointers, and sent 18 points and 6 assists; Paul, who was opposite him, surrendered 14 points and 11 assists.It seems that there is not much difference in the data, but the content of the game reflected in it is indeed Paul's victory.

But this itself is also normal.This is the fifth year of Paul's career. He has already received the maximum salary and is currently recognized as the number one point guard; Curry is still a rookie and has not yet played 30 games in the NBA. It is not a shame to lose.

When Paul first entered the league, he couldn't beat Nash, Billups, and Baron Davis.

At the press conference after the game, Ke Yan also talked about his experience as a guest at the Phillips Center: "I vaguely remember the last time I came to the Phillips Center as an opponent, I was still an assistant coach of the Lakers; that is, at the Phillips Center , I met Never’s family for the first time and got their blessings; I went back to the visiting team’s locker room at the Phillips Center again, I’m married and soon to be a father. Let’s just say it happened in four years It’s a lot, and it’s really wonderful. I’m very grateful for the cheers from the Atlanta fans tonight, and I wish the Eagles all the best in the future!”

As the starter for the third consecutive game, Sun Yue did not have a good defense in this game. Against Batum, he was scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists by the opponent.However, on the offensive end, Sun Yue's criticized shooting finally "remarkably improved". He made 6 of 2 shots and 3 of 1 three-pointers in the game, scoring 5 points. ball.

How should I put it, judging by the standard of a starting player, if the full score is 100 points, Sun Yue's performance can only score 30 points at most; with the level shown by a player with a basic salary, he is not worthy of so many appearances given by Ke Yan Time; but if you ask him whether he has improved on the court and whether he can play a role, that is more or less a little bit.

At least when paired with Curry, he can still do something.

Based on this, in the back-to-back away game against the Magic on the 28th, Ke Yan continued to arrange Sun Yue as the starting small forward, against Turkish agent Turkoglu!

In terms of strength, they are at a disadvantage, they are fighting back to back, and the lineup is not complete. No matter how you look at it, the Knicks have little chance of winning!

But after the game started, it was the Knicks who had the upper hand.The reason is simple, Curry switched to the "day-to-day mode" and beat Nelson of the Magic.

In the first quarter of the game, Curry made 5 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, including a "3+1", scored 19 points in a single quarter, and "destroyed" the Magic's defensive system with exaggerated shots;

On the defensive end, Jordan Jr., who started the game, also contributed a very tough defense in the interior. Although his presence in the penalty area could not withstand Howard's hard attack, it also exposed the weakness of the Magic's lack of shooting range in both interiors. , Reduced the offensive efficiency of Howard and Josh Smith.

After Larry Brown, the only head coach in the league with a superior winning percentage against Keyan, Stan Van Gundy is a bit careless!

Throughout the first quarter, he did not change the team's defense against Curry and did not adjust the team's offensive thinking, so that after the first quarter, the Magic trailed the Knicks by a full 26 points at 42:16 at home!

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides put on rotations to play, and the Magic launched a counterattack through its strong bench lineup!

Gortat, Brandon Bass, Pietrus, and Alston are all very capable players on the bench; in comparison, after the Knicks have continuously optimized their lineup over the past few years, the bench is obviously not as good as the opponent .

In particular, Holiday recently hit the rookie wall!

No matter how Ke Yan arranges his tactics, if there is no obvious offensive strength on the field, it will be difficult to open the situation!Especially the opponent is the magic team with a complete lineup and a complete system.

Seeing that Gortat grabbed the offensive rebound again, completed the dunk, and narrowed the point difference to 8 points, Ke Yan had no choice but to bring Curry back on the court.

As soon as Curry appeared on the stage, the effect was immediate!Using the pick-and-roll with Jeffries, Curry found a small opportunity to play big, skillfully changed the dribbling rhythm to mobilize Gortat's center of gravity, easily cut to the basket, and hit the board to score!

On the way back to defense, Curry applauded his teammates, signaling everyone to cheer up!

The offensive end broke the scoring shortage, and the team was more active on the defensive end.The Magic were guarded for 24 seconds, and Van Gundy noticed something strange.

When Curry once again used his own restraint to help Holiday get an open opportunity and hit a mid-range shot, Van Gundy finally called a timeout.

"Good job, Stephen!" Ke Yan yelled loudly, and then said, "The Magic should replace the main players. Next, we will play smarter!"

He did not choose to replace Love and Jordan, but left Etan Thomas and Jeffries on the court, the purpose is more clear.First "cut the shark" wave, mess with Howard's mentality, and then go to the main force to face off.

At the same time, taking advantage of Howard's free throws can also win some "rest" time for Curry and Holiday on the court.

The Magic and Keyan are also old rivals.To put it crudely, you know you want XX as soon as you poke XX.Howard almost accepted Etan Thomas' foul on him with a smile.

Van Gundy was swearing on the sidelines, and then yelled "It smells so good!" Howard actually made two free throws!

The players hesitated a lot, but Ke Yan kept turning his wrist on the sidelines, the meaning was very clear, continue to chop!

The timer ran for 2 minutes, but the actual game time exceeded 10 minutes.Howard stood on the free throw line five times, and played 10 of 6 free throws in the Super League! "Cracked" Keyan's strategy.

And when Ke Yan finally couldn't sit still and replaced the main players, it was Van Gundy's turn to make a move!

"Cut me Jordan!"
