Chapter 179 The Cruel Winning Streak
Chapter 179 Cruel ten-game winning streak
Seeing that Keith Van Horn was isolated so quickly, Jeff Van Gundy quickly replaced Lagabel with Kurt Thomas. He couldn't waste Zhao Ke's talent on someone who couldn't catch the ball.
Zhao Ke confronted Iverson and said with a smirk, "Allen, do you think I will cover you?"
Iverson smiled and said, "Can you guess me?"
Zhao Ke said angrily: "I guess you don't guess, my answer is yes!"
"Oh no, you won't do that, I know you're not that heartless..."
Iverson is still hippie smiling.
At this time, Iverson received a pass from Snow, and Zhao Ke posted it.
But at the moment when the two were about to meet, Iverson suddenly changed direction drastically, and Zhao Ke had to take two steps back.
Taking advantage of Zhao Ke's retreat, Iverson quickly passed him from the opposite direction and made a mid-range shot!
Zhao Ke smiled wryly: It's impossible to guard against!
When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Iverson ran to defend Andre Miller and replaced Snow to defend Zhao Ke. This is one of the 76ers' routines:
Iverson was just a shooting guard on the offensive end, and on the defensive end he returned to the familiar point guard position.
But the highlight of this game is not Iverson and Zhao Ke.
It's the inside line of the two teams.
The 76ers' two insiders, one slow and one thin, simply let the two beasts of the Knicks get whatever they want.
The spring of Nene Hilario and Kurt Thomas has come, and the Knicks team created opportunities for them, all kinds of unreasonable lobs and reasonable open mid-range shots.
Nene scored 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Kurt Thomas was even tougher, scoring 38 points and 16 rebounds.
And Zhao Ke is an excellent 3D player, with tireless defense, limited possession of the ball, and beautiful three-pointers:
总共出手13次，命中10次，得到31分3盖帽1抢断。
Keith Van Horn later healed his scar and forgot the pain, and participated in the 76ers' offense again, like a large shooting guard, wandering outside the three-point line and acting as a mobile turret.
Zhao Ke had to throw out the only two "no-fly" bags left, and the mobile anti-aircraft gun quieted down.
Keith Van Horn made 7 of 0 shots, scored 0 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 fouls, and was blocked by Zhao Ke and Kurt Thomas.
艾弗森在赵客的折磨下36投12中，只拿到35分，76人队也以82：116惨败。
This disastrous defeat officially declared that the 76ers' summer signings were a complete failure. Billy King's practice of tearing apart the east to make up for the west has been widely questioned——
If you remove the center forward, you can fill in the power forward, but the power forward didn't make up!
Are the 76ers sending warmth?
Saying goodbye to an angry Philadelphia, the Knicks returned to New York and waited for the Boston Celtics to come.
On November 11, the Knicks defeated the Celtics 2:117.
This time, it was Paul Pierce who was unlucky. Zhao Ke had 4 blocks and 3 steals on him, forcefully forcing him to transform from "back hit king" to "jump shot king". He made 22 of 6 shots and scored 12 points and 6 rebounds.
Maybe it was Zhao Ke who took away Pierce's crosshairs. As a result, Zhao Ke, who had double crosshairs, was terribly hot. He hit all 13 three-pointers before, missed two, and hit five in a row.
His hands were so hot, of course he made all three-pointers, making 22 of 18 shots and scoring 56 points.
Two days later, the Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 108-82.
In just 3 minutes of the first quarter, Ray Allen ate Zhao Ke's three hot pot meals and added a steal. As a result, the next three quarters were completely useless. He made 14 of 2 shots and only scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
而赵客再次高效的18投15中，三分球13投10中，砍下42分。
11月6日，“白魔鬼”缺阵的国王以77：118在麦迪逊广场花园输了41分。
The king's shooting guard Doug Christie is a defensive expert and doesn't take many shots, so Zhao Ke locked his target on the 2-meter small forward Peja Stojakovic.
After suffering three hats and one steal, the world champion Peja from Yugoslavia was actually triggered by the old problem of poor mental quality. He made 16 of 1 shots in the game, and it only took 3 minutes to transform from a marksman to a blacksmith.
Grandpa Mao once said: It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers!
Zhao Ke was not allowed in this game. He only scored 45 points, and only made 11 of 7 three-pointers. He even made 40% of his three-pointers.
So Zhao Ke turned into a madman, attacked the rim frantically, and dunked 12 times in the audience, which made the Knicks fans happy.
On November 11, the Knicks went to Indiana to visit Ron Artest, who was away from home, and gave his team a defeat by the way.
Because he was embarrassed to take Artest's knife, Zhao Ke did not open the "opening black 3 minutes", but distributed the skill packs to the whole audience.
Although the victim is always Jermaine O'Neill, the effect is obviously not as good as focusing on the opening.
The impact on Jermaine O'Neal was not particularly large, he still scored 12 points and 8 rebounds.But the turnovers of the teammates are obviously more, and the shooting percentage has also dropped. Obviously, they have become accustomed to playing with the wind.
His teammates were not good enough, Zhao Ke had to increase his shots, and the Pacers were guarded by Jermaine O'Neal and Brad Miller inside. It was not easy to break through and score, and the three-pointer was still reliable.
赵客全场扔了26个三分球，进了17个，砍下52分4个篮板4次盖帽2次抢断。
122:105. Although the Knicks kept their six-game winning streak, they let their opponents score more than 100 points for the first time.
Since then, the Knicks have killed the Hornets and Jazz respectively.
On November 11, the 16ers visited, Van Horn was bullied again, and Iverson reaped a defeat with a crying bird.
On November 11, when the Knicks were a guest at the Detroit Pistons, Ben Wallace, who returned to the center position, was like a fish in water, scoring 18 points and 12 rebounds.
But Hamilton fell under Zhao Ke's black again in 3 minutes, and made 18 of 3 shots. In the fourth quarter, when he faced Zhao Ke's shots, his hands were shaking, but his tenacious will never let him give up.
Hamilton repeatedly rejected Rick Carlisle's kindness to replace him. He did not escape, but chose to face the fear and despair brought by Zhao Ke, but it didn't matter!
After the double-killing of the Pistons, the New York Knicks have won ten consecutive victories in the first game. They are the only team in the league that has never lost.
At the same time, as the offensive and defensive core of the Knicks, Zhao averaged 45.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.6 blocks and 1.4 steals away.
Since scoring 76 points in the second game against the Philadelphia 31ers, Zhao Ke has scored at least 8 points in 40 consecutive games, which is a very difficult record.
In the history of the NBA, this record was created by the ancient beast Chamberlain in the season when he averaged 50+ per game, scoring 14+ in 40 consecutive games.
Ranked second is Michael Jordan's 9 consecutive 40+ games.
Which record can Zhao Ke break?
