I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 66 The data of garbage time, that is also data!

New York, Big Apple.

I don’t know when it started, the Knicks players who played in this world-class metropolis no longer had the drive to fight for the championship. It seems that because of Ewing’s departure, this prestigious team is like It's like losing your soul, and it will never be the same again.

It is like a quagmire, polluting every star who comes here to play, and it becomes the same. They just play for big contracts, don’t think about hitting the playoffs, and don’t care about honor. They sink and degenerate in the city that never sleeps. .

The new New York leader Alan Houston is also a superstar player with good strength. In the 98-99 season, when Ewing was injured, he and the madman Sprewell led the team to the finals. Tower of the San Antonio Spurs.

If you look at it this way, Houston is indeed a good player, but unfortunately he doesn't have the temperament of a king at all. He doesn't have Ewing's iron blood and that kind of hard work. It can only be said that the Knicks chose the wrong person. Houston is suitable to be a second-in-command. Under the leadership of a team leader with strength and a strong will to win, he will do his job well.

And this year, Houston has just signed a six-year $[-] million contract, which seems to make him lose his aggressiveness. Houston's statistics are still good, but he can't lead the team to the playoffs, let alone the finals up.

In the future, the contract that the New York Knicks gave to Alan Houston is particularly famous. This is a model of junk contracts in the league, and the league even introduced the Houston clause for this.

At this moment, Alan Houston no longer focused on the game. He looked at the brother Ewing with a dazed expression. This man who would never admit defeat gave him courage and the will to overcome everything. Unfortunately, after he left, these qualities were thrown away by himself.

Houston smiled wryly in his heart. At the moment, the New York fans welcomed Ewing, the former leader of the team, and applauded Ewing's every attack.And myself, because of the poor record of leading the team after getting a big contract, was collectively rejected by the media fans. Alan Houston felt that the New York fans were too harsh on him. He was just an ordinary star, not a superstar leader like Ewing. .

The pressure slowly increased under the defection of the fans, and the confidence of the Knicks players was crushed bit by bit. Van Gundy called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and garbage time came.

At this moment, the third quarter is not over yet, 91 to 60, the difference between the two teams has exceeded 30 points.

McGrady reluctantly sat back on the bench. He was very unconvinced today. He was defended by his teammates, and the feeling that he could not use his strength made him very uncomfortable.

In these three quarters, he only shot 6 times, hit 3 goals, scored 8 points and 5 rebounds.

Then, the game entered garbage time. The Knicks didn't feel any resistance at all. They resigned themselves to watching the score being pulled away a little bit, but they didn't do anything. It also made McGrady's desire to stay on the court to score points aborted. .

After the timeout, Tang Shuai did not put the main players on the field again, and even Su Yi was put back on the bench. This is because, in the case of a stable victory, he must prevent injuries, or in other words, he is worried about the opponent's players. Malicious actions cause injuries.

Ewing performed very well. He played 20 minutes and scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. During the intermission, Tang Shuai specifically told him not to grab rebounds. The team no longer needed him to protect the rebounds. Otherwise, he The rebounds may break ten.

Jordan played 25 minutes and easily scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. If it weren't for the lack of possession at the beginning of the game, Jordan felt that he could get 30+10 today. The Knicks are really a good team and they are too friendly to their opponents. , won the game so easily.

But the game was easy, but Jordan still didn't get the highest score. It can only be said that the Knicks team is Su Yi's blessed land. In gear, the open three-pointer made a feeling.
Catching up with Van Gundy is also a slow reaction. Before the Knicks didn't focus on defending him, Su Yi relied on running and catching the ball to catch and shoot, and hit 6 three-pointers. Today he did find some feeling, as long as it is an open basket The basket is as wide as the sea.

When Van Gundy reacted and sent Sprewell to defend, Jordan exploded.

This is the effect of having a superstar. If you relax a little bit with him, he can beat you to the point of death.

Su Yi played 34 minutes in this game, scored 24 points and 8 assists, and became the one with the highest score by making 17 of 8 three-pointers. Almost all of Su Yi's eight three-pointers came from Ewing And Jordan's assists.

Su Yi doesn't even know, why in this game, I feel so good when I shoot. Is it because of the easy brushing of Curry? Our self-confidence is back.

Su Yi really wants to sing aloud, we common people, this is really happy!
The Knicks are really good, and New York is their own blessed land. If they defend themselves more seriously, they won't get so many points. This is simply a loose score boy.

With Troy Hudson, Mookie Norris, the old cat Mobley, Walter Williams, and Kevin Willis on the field, the old Rockets began to lie on the sidelines Received a massage from the team doctor.

It's not that they don't want to go back to the locker room to rest, it's just because the NBA has an unwritten rule that they are not allowed to go back to the locker room during garbage time, let alone leave the field.

This is to allow fans who buy high-priced tickets to watch the stars to have more contact with the superstars, and it is also to show respect to their opponents.

Because Mobley played less than 10 minutes, he was sent by the head coach to play garbage time, and Dell Curry and Steve Kerr, who played less playing time, were not considered. Old players like them have Don't think much about statistics and playing time, let the young players go up and work hard.

Mobley and Troy played like fish in water during the garbage time, and their scores were soaring. At the end of the game, they both scored more than 10 points, which is considered to have completed the task of the day.

Mobley is also in a very sad mood. Last year he was still a star player averaging close to 20 points per game. This season he has spent many times in garbage time to earn statistics. Although he can still average more than 15 points per game, most of them are in garbage time. Got it.

But McGrady is more uncomfortable than him. As a starting player, McGrady is not as high as Mobley's garbage time statistics.

At the end of the game, the Rockets were 123 to 84, and the Knicks were slaughtered with 39 points to end the game.

Seven of the Rockets scored in double figures, not including "crisp". McGrady, last year's All-Star player, only scored 8 points in this game, which is considered the most lost one of the Rockets.

As for the Knicks, only Houston, Sprewell and Camby scored in double figures. The other players scored a few points in garbage time, but they did not score in double figures.
