Chapter 223 The Rose Blooms
When it comes to the NBA, no one does not know the Knicks.As remarkable as the city in which they are located.
New York is the most prosperous metropolis in the world.So that even if the Knicks sitting here have bad grades, they are still the most valuable team in the NBA.Because here is full of spotlights, celebrities from all walks of life gather, and there is never a shortage of traffic and money.
As one of the earliest teams to join the NBA, the Knicks, backed by New York, have a strong fan background. In addition, team owner Dolan is also very willing to spend money. They should have achieved very good results in the NBA.
However, the fact is completely opposite. Looking back on the last team finals experience, we have to go back to the Knicks led by Ewing 20 years ago.Even in these years, it is difficult for them to enter the playoffs!
Dolan is essentially different from a basketball-loving boss like Cuban.He is a businessman who values money and interests, and his way of solving problems is simple and rude.It can be seen from their frequent management changes.
Since entering the 21st century, in the past decade or so, the Knicks' management has undergone several generations of changes.Isaiah Thomas, Danny Walsh, and Phil Jackson have all played the role of trader.As for the team's head coach, since Van Gundy Jr. left the Knicks in 2001, 10 have been changed.
The Knicks, who are not motivated, are like a salted fish that has rotted to the bottom.Just sign 2 stars and let the big brothers play freely.The only image that can be left to the fans is: a certain star scored 50+ in Madison Square Garden, and the New York fans turned on the spot.
Perhaps Dolan is a real basketball player.Whoever beats the opponent to the ground at my home court, I will praise whoever is, regardless of the home team or the away team!
Every star is willing to pull out all the stops at Madison Garden!Because there is never a lack of audience and applause here.
细数这些年，卡梅隆·安东尼单场62分外加0失误，科比·布莱恩特61分+20罚20中，勒布朗·詹姆斯52分9篮板11助攻，库里54分11记三分球……再往前，还有雷吉·米勒8.9秒8分，迈克尔·乔丹单场55分……
This has become a place for superstars to testify.
Therefore, when they played, the Thunder players headed by Westbrook were enthusiastically cheered by the audience.An Luo felt as if he was back in Oklahoma City.Although there is no "O~K~C~" that resounds through the sky, fans wearing Thunder jerseys can be seen everywhere, and An Luo even saw several of his own No. 8 jerseys.The aura of the metropolis is extraordinary.
The game started, both sides started their debut.
Nothing has changed on Lei Ting's side, it's still the same five people.
The starting players for the Knicks are Rose, Courtney Lee, Anthony, Porzingis and Noah.Just listening to the name is very powerful!However, Rose and Noah, the former dual-core bulls, have already sunk down.Rose at this time is no longer the Rose who won the MVP, and Noah is not the Noah who won the best defensive player.
Both sides jump the ball.
Adams patted the basketball into Roberson's hands, who handed the ball to Westbrook, then rushed to the left corner to ambush, and opened up space for Westbrook and Oladipo by the way.Of course, many teams will let him go.But Robertson is not completely without three-point ability.For these NBA professional players, if they are completely emptied by the opponent on the court, they are likely to be accurate.
After Westbrook received the ball, he connected to Adams.The latter stood against Noah, moved his footsteps, and scored with a hook.
Cheers erupted at the scene.These people are purely enjoying basketball!
Looking back, Anthony received a pass from Rose and forced a layup, causing Oladipo to foul!
Anthony, who walked to the free throw line, made two free throws.Evened the score.
Then, Westbrook confronts Rose.At this time, the identities of the two have changed.Westbrook is no longer the loser he once was.He started at a high speed, and took the first step to go a long way.The most incredible thing is that his speed continued to increase, and Porzingis, who hurried over to defend, caught up to Westbrook's back.
When Noah rushed over, he dodged with a pull bar, and then hit the ball with a layup.
After the serious injury, Rose can no longer keep up with Westbrook's movements!He shook his head, a little disappointed.Back then, such actions were routine operations for him.
The Knicks attacked again.Anthony misses the pass.His passing route was expected by Oladipo, and then intercepted halfway!Oladipo, who made the steal, dribbled two steps forward and then threw the ball to Westbrook on the other side of the court.Facing the empty frontcourt, the latter staged a gliding split, which exploded!
6:2, the Thunder played very strongly.
Westbrook, who succeeded in dunking, stepped on a figure-of-eight step, with a sense of sight of "ask the world, who dares to compete with me".Madison Garden responded with extremely enthusiastic cheers, which made Westbrook even more proud.
Seeing Westbrook being so arrogant, Rose quit.
He controlled the ball and slowly came to the frontcourt, and then a butterfly pierced the flowers, shook Westbrook who was defending him, rushed to the penalty area against Adams and scored the ball, and caused the opponent to foul.
Very tough two plus one!
Rose got up from the ground and roared to the sky.
No matter how many injuries he suffered, he still played like this.God took away his healthy knee, but the things in his bones cannot be taken away.
An Luo was a little unbelievable, the speed and change of direction were simply too strong!This way of playing is far from being possible for him now!Even in the entire league, those guards who are much healthier than Rose may not be able to do it.
With this, Westbrook made a three-pointer from the outside.After Porzingis got the rebound, he made a long pass to Anthony.The latter beat Robertson to no avail, and then passed the ball to the outside.
As soon as Rose got the ball, the audience erupted.The breakthrough just now was completely done by Peak Rose.Everyone is looking forward to how he will handle this ball.
But this time, Rose didn't rush in again.He followed Noah's screen and directly scored a three-pointer!
He shot from inside and outside, scoring 6 points in a row.It took Rose two rounds to tell the Thunder generals that it would not be an easy task to take the victory away from him.
For the next few minutes, it became completely Rose's solo performance.Anthony, the only one in this Knicks team who can hold him down, is willing to be a green leaf and give him the ball.
Pull-up jumpers, layups on the railing, floating shots, three-pointers...
The once strongest Rose would, he did not give up.He didn't before, and now he will.After experiencing countless injuries, Rose finally chose to bow to fate.
This season, he no longer relies entirely on his body to play, and the number of three-point shots has increased a lot.The burden on his body has been reduced a lot, and his state has also stabilized.
