The most versatile player in history

Chapter 162
Finale.

The New York Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks for a three-game winning streak!
"This year's NBA is really incomprehensible."

"Do you dare to think that the top three in the Eastern Conference are the Cavaliers, Hawks, and Knicks?"

"These three teams were the bottom teams in the Eastern Conference last season."

"Those who didn't know thought it was the ranking five years ago."

"Is the sky going to change in the East?"

The fans shouted that they couldn't understand.

The image of the New York Knicks among the fans has also been elevated, and many people have classified this team as a championship-level team.

Playing against four strong Eastern teams in a row and winning three games does reflect the current strength of the team.

After the game, Antetokounmpo said in an interview, "We let them get too many easy shots. You have to praise them. They hit most of the shots."

"We have to make it harder for them. There are too many easy shots. If you don't fight hard and give up easily, then the opponent has a lot of open opportunities."

"We've got to do a better job of making things difficult for them. Reaching out and pressing harder and making it tough for them."

"They hit a ton of threes tonight, obviously, we've got to make it harder for them. We need to make them hit less threes and push forward harder. Make it harder for them to shoot threes , not so easily."

Reporter: "So, how do you evaluate Lu Shaojie's performance tonight?"

Antetokounmpo: "He is a very strong opponent and a very comprehensive player. I like to compete with such opponents."

Reporter: "As far as I know, this is the second time you have fought against Lu Shaojie, and you lost to him both times. Did Lu Shaojie limit your performance?"

Brother Antetokounmpo: "It's not like this. It's my own reasons. I don't think anyone can limit my performance."

In the New York Knicks locker room at this time, the players were celebrating again.

"Guys, I think we've found the key to winning, and we're going to play like this every game from now on."

Randall was very excited, after all, he defeated Antetokounmpo in the matchup.

"Yes."

"That's right!"

"This is how we win!"

His teammates are echoing him.

Coach Thibodeau said with a smile: "Since you all said that, then everyone will continue to strengthen the practice of shooting ability. We must play better every game. We must use gorgeous offense to conquer fans and opponents."

"The coach is right, we will go to practice more."

Randall took the lead in extra training, and other players naturally followed suit.

The current Knicks team is all young people, and the oldest player is only 29 years old, which is the team with the youngest average age in the NBA.

If Lu Shaojie is the leader of this team on the court, Randall is the boss of this team's locker room.

After all, Lu Shaojie is young, so he really needs such a big brother to control the situation.

Randall did, too.

In today's New York Knicks, the atmosphere on and off the court is excellent.
