In order to end the Knicks' winning streak, the Nuggets also played their lives.At the turn of the round, Curry and James cooperated hand-in-hand, missed a three-pointer, and Martin struggled to protect the rebound.

Looking back, Anthony came to the low post and stuck Stephenson behind him. Billups hung the ball over.Anthony carried it on his back, his shoulders swayed to the left, and Stephenson's center of gravity shifted slightly. Anthony suddenly turned to the right and shot a fallback jumper.

"Shh!"

At 105:110, Anthony led the team to a 6:0 spurt, narrowing the point difference to 5 points, and the suspense of the game returned.

However, before the excitement of the fans in the Pepsi Center passed, the Knicks counterattacked again and scored. Horford quickly served the bottom line and played a half-conversion fast break. Curry broke through with the ball and compressed the Nuggets' defense to the free throw line. After that, it was then distributed to Stephenson who followed up on the right. The younger brother raised the knife and landed, and the three-pointer hit the net.

Anthony's humming attack made three consecutive goals, but it was not as good as the Knicks' two three-pointers!This is a blow to the morale of the Nuggets.

Looking back, it was still Anthony who received the ball. West flanked him and put Kenyon Martin wide open.

James grabbed the rebound and pushed back again. Martin, somewhat exasperated, reached out and locked James' shoulders, pulling him down forcibly.

When the opponent is speeding up, he suddenly reaches out and forcibly breaks the balance, which can easily cause strain. This action is very dangerous. After watching the replay, the referee whistled Martin for a second-level malicious foul and directly expelled him!

This penalty made George Karl a little dissatisfied again.The old man forcibly appealed to the referee, chattered endlessly, applied for two ts for himself in a row, and was sent off.

Curry executed a technical foul free throw and made four of four free throws, bringing the point difference back to double digits.Coupled with the fact that the head coach and a starter were sent off, the morale of the Nuggets was frustrated, and the situation was over.

Considering that the Nuggets have a history of the "Madison Square Garden Incident", after securing the victory, Ke Yan replaced the main players in advance with 2 minutes left in the game. The picture also became the front page of the newspaper the next day.

In the end, the Knicks won on the road, raising their winning streak to 18 games.

On the Internet, there has really been discussion that the Knicks can break the best record in history of 72 wins and 10 losses.

However, the media paid more attention to the conflict between Ke Yan and James. At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked this question in front of these two people.

"I think the word 'disagreement' is more appropriate than 'contradictory'." Ke Yan thought for a while, and then said, "or LeBron has some ideas of his own, but I don't think it's appropriate. That's the whole thing. I I don’t think we have a serious problem, but frankly, our communication is not that polite.”

Ke Yan bluntly re-emphasized his "authority" without giving in at all, which also made James, who was in a good mood after winning, fall into cranky thoughts again.

"For internal issues, we will coordinate and communicate well."

When James, who has always been known for his "properness", did not deny that he had "problems" with Ke Yan in the face of the media, everyone already guessed that the problem must be serious.Immediately, some summer "old material" was picked up again.

Including the signing exchange reached by the Knicks and the Cavaliers, including Ke Yan's speech at James' signing conference, and even many Ke Yan's words praising Curry on various occasions, all of which were taken out as evidence, even with the official It's all fueling the flames.

Who makes the Knicks the hottest now!

After the game against the Nuggets, the Knicks returned to New York for a three-day vacation.Ke Yan gave the team a day off.I also stayed at home, taking care of my daughter while studying the situation of the alliance.

In the East, the Knicks, who have won 18 consecutive victories, are ranked first without any suspense, and they are the first in the fault; the Bulls and the Magic have the same results, both with 13 wins and 5 losses, ranking second and third; With Stoudemire's recent "open" performance, the Nets returned to fourth in the Eastern Conference; behind them are the Heat, 76ers, Eagles, Pacers, and Celtics.

On the whole, the strength gap between the eastern teams is very obvious. From Ke Yan's perspective, maybe the Knicks can still rank in the top three if they give up one of the "Jenku".If it is really the first round of the playoffs, it cannot be said that there is no bloodshed, it can only be said that it will be destroyed, and he will be able to clean up the opponent without calling a timeout.

In comparison, the western side is much more "balanced".The Lakers, who have won two consecutive championships, inevitably slack off in the regular season. The current record is only 13 wins and 5 losses, tied for second in the West like the Mavericks; The record has returned to the No. 15 position in the Western Conference; the performance of the Thunder is disappointing, and it is even reported that the team may trade Garnett and change a center; followed by the Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Clippers, Gray Bears, Timberwolves and Warriors.

It is worth mentioning that the top ten teams in the West all have a winning percentage of more than 50%. Even though Boozer and Stoudemire were poached by the East, they still maintained their overall strength.

The Kings, which Ke Yan focuses on, are currently ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference with a record of 5 wins and 13 losses, only better than the Hornets and Jazz.As far as the league is concerned, the Kings are basically one of the worst teams in the ball market.

"The unsatisfactory results of the labor negotiations this time should further intensify the Maruf brothers' idea of ​​selling the team." Keyan analyzed.

In fact, regardless of this labor negotiation, the players have made a lot of concessions, but for many teams in small markets, the loss situation has not been completely reversed.James did not go to Shituoling in this life, but whether it is James, Bosh, Joe Johnson, or Stoudemire, famous stars all flow to the metropolis.

How to increase the confidence of small ball market teams to retain their star players and improve their overall competitiveness is also an urgent problem to be solved in the future.

On December 12, the Knicks, who had been resting for three days, won a challenge from the Pistons at home.There is not much suspense in this game. No one will believe that the Pistons can end the Knicks' 9-game winning streak.

In addition to the Knicks' winning streak, everyone is more concerned about the contradictions between Hamilton and the team within the Pistons. It is reported that Mask Man is not satisfied with his position as the team's "sixth man" and applied for a trade. But the effect of the Pistons peddling is not ideal.After all, Mask Man is 32 years old. As he grows older, his physical fitness, running, and defense have all been affected, and his scoring average has dropped to 14 points per game.

Dumars offered two big contracts to Ben Gordon and Villanueva in the summer of 09, basically letting the Pistons sink along with the city of Detroit.Prince and Hamilton, who are still sticking to it, are likely to be traded away from the team to provide chips for the team's reconstruction.

After three days of rest, the Knicks, who came out of fatigue, showed some excessive relaxation after the start of the game. The team made no hits in the first six shots. In turn, the Pistons hit a 7: 0 start.

It wasn't until James broke into the basket, fouled Monroe, and made a free throw that the Knicks barely broke.

However, the poor performance at the beginning is just a microcosm of some Knicks players in this game. For example, Curry couldn't make any outside shots in this game. Even in the end, the commentator was joking, "Curry seems to be cursed today." General".

Holiday is not there, Jeremy Lin is not strong enough, and Curry is in a mess. Ke Yan simply let James "guest" point guard to take control of the overall situation.James switched to the "Cavalier James" mode, scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, piercing the Pistons' defense again.

With Curry making 10 of 0 outside shots and scoring only 14 points, the Pistons still couldn't win the game, which shows that the strength of the Pistons is no longer an opponent of the same dimension as the Knicks.

At 98:89, the Knicks won at home, raising the winning streak to 19 games!

On December 12, the Knicks played at home and ushered in Keyan's old club, the Atlanta Hawks.

When the hometown team visited, Wang Lifan appeared on the sidelines to watch the game. This scene was recorded by the broadcaster and watched by Atlanta fans, "It seems like a lifetime away."

Before the game, James and Curry hugged and greeted Paul successively.And Dior also found Keyan and had a chat.

The "French Magician" has been completely reduced to a "French Fatty" this season. Almost a quarter of the season has gone on, and he is still wide and fat. Not only can he not support the fast break of D'Antoni's system, but his shooting percentage has also dropped. At 35%+25%, both teammates and fans are very disappointed in him.

But, the Eagles let go of core players every year in the past few years, with a clear attitude of "saving money + making money", it is not uncommon for players to lie flat.Dior received a five-year 07 million contract in 5, and he already has two championship rings. With the French nature, it's strange that this guy doesn't lie down.

The suspense of the game itself is not very big. In addition to celebrating the team's 20 consecutive victories, the fans also want to see Curry and Paul's "first point guard" battle.After all, with Curry becoming Ke Yan's "favorite" and his "inhuman" performance outside the three-point line, many fans have recognized that Curry is today's "No. [-] point guard".

And Curry, who had the worst performance of his career in the last game, "knowledge shame and be brave" in this game. He made 12 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 33 points and 6 assists in the game, beating Paul's 24 points and 10 points. Assist and lead the team to victory.

Paul, who has been used to winning since he entered the league, gradually discovered that being alone is not just for nothing, and it is really difficult to lead the team alone.
