Chapter 437 Melon and Crazy Lin

The Raptors have won consecutive away games and have now ushered in a 5-game winning streak. With a record of 31 wins and 14 losses, they continue their excellent record.

The last opponent of the Raptors' 5-game streak is the New York Knicks.The Knicks came out with "Linsanity" during the team's injury frenzy, which helped them return to the ranks of competing for playoff tickets. At present, stars such as Anthony and Stoudemire have returned, and the team is already strong. Seats are eyeing.

As one of the most well-known arenas in the league, Madison Square Garden is a special existence for the players of the league, and Ying Xiong is no exception.Here, Ying Xiong was selected by the Bucks and became an NBA professional basketball player. Every time he comes here to play games, he always has a different feeling in his heart.

Before the game, Ying Xiong happily chatted with his old teammate Tyson Chandler and "Linsanity" Jeremy Lin.In the NBA, very few players can spend their entire lives in one team, so a player will definitely meet many "former teammates" from being selected to retiring.

In this game, the Knicks, who played at home, performed exceptionally well with the momentum of their 3-game winning streak.Jeremy Lin scored a double-double and almost completely outplayed Calderon; Stoudemire seemed to be back to the top and also outplayed Amir Johnson; But he also scored double-digit points; the substitute JR Smith showed the style of the nerve knife, leading the Knicks to beat the Raptors as a substitute.

Even if Ying Xiong scored a game-high 33 points, he was still unable to help the team win the last game of 5 consecutive away games when other teammates were collectively suppressed.

In the end, the Knicks won at home and ushered in a long-lost 4-game winning streak.The Raptors missed the 5-game winning streak, and their record became 32 wins and 15 losses.

The Raptors returned to their home court immediately after ending their 5-game streak, and faced the powerful Eastern Conference leader Chicago Bulls back to back.

The result of the game made the Raptors fans not very satisfied. Under the strong defense of the Bulls, no one in the Raptors was able to score stably except Yingxiong. In the end, they lost their opponents at home. other side.

The record of 32 wins and 16 losses is still excellent, but the consecutive defeats by the Bulls, the leader of the Eastern Conference, let everyone know that the Raptors are still slightly insufficient in direct dialogue with the league's top teams.

On March 3, the Raptors once again sat at home to face their opponents three days ago-the New York Knicks.

The Raptors, who have lost two games in a row, are naturally eager to beat their opponents at home to avoid a three-game losing streak.

In this game, the Air Canada Center arena was almost full, and the decibel level was much hotter than the previous game against the Bulls, who are currently ranked No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.There is no other reason, the crazy match between Ying Xiong and Lin makes people want to go to the scene just thinking about it.As two of the most popular players in the current league, Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin, as representatives of the yellow race, represented their respective teams in games, which naturally attracted the attention of the entire league and even the world.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Bargnani, power forward - James Johnson, small forward - DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - Karl Deron.

The starting lineup of the Knicks in the away game is: center-Tyson Chandler, power forward-Stoudemire Jr., small forward-Carmelo Anthony, shooting guard-Landry Fields , Point guard - Jeremy Lin.

Bargnani and Tyson Chandler jumped the ball near the middle circle, and the game was on the verge of breaking out.

Tyson Chandler still bounced better and gave the ball to Anthony, who passed it to point guard Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball across half court.

Since "Bombarding Coach" D'Antoni was fired by the Knicks, Jeremy Lin's performance has regressed.Since the comeback of Anthony and Stoudemire, Jeremy Lin's tactical position during "Lin Madness" has changed from the core of the backcourt to an ordinary role player.

Of course, Anthony and Stoudemire are all-star players after all, and the team will not let these two big guys play with him for Jeremy Lin.D'Antoni was given up by the team because of the conflict with Anthony.In the NBA, if a superstar and a coach are at odds, the coach is most likely to leave.

Jeremy Lin's strongest is the pick-and-roll.He and the big man's high pick-and-roll, or pass or sudden, in the choice of offense, he has his own characteristics, and allows the pick-and-roll big man and the pitcher who stretches the space to get good offensive opportunities.

However, after Anthony came back, the team's position and high pick-and-roll attack once again returned to Anthony's old way of receiving the ball at the waist.But even if everyone knows that Jeremy Lin's offense in the high pick-and-roll is better for the team and the offensive efficiency is higher, the team will not really give up Anthony for this.The Big Apple City has not had a superstar in his prime for several years, so naturally he will not give up Anthony, a top ten superstar in the league, easily.So it is reasonable to give up the coach for this reason. After all, not every coach is Popovich.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball to the top of the arc on the left, facing Anthony's important position, and lobbed the ball in.

The task of defending Anthony naturally fell to Ying Xiong.In the last game, he restricted Anthony very well, but couldn't hold back the collective explosion of other Knicks players, and unfortunately lost the game.

Anthony is known as the "offensive kaleidoscope". In this position, his offensive comprehensiveness is not lost to anyone, and even LeBron James cannot match it in this regard.

But Anthony also has a problem, that is, he lacks a special skill.His breakthroughs, pull-up jumpers, three-threats, post-ups and even cheating fouls are all star-level, but he doesn't seem to have a real killer move.LeBron James has a strong tank, Durant has an unsolvable mid-range shot, Kobe's emergency stop jumper and fadeaway are unsolvable, and Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independent" jumper is also unsolvable.However, where is Anthony's unsolvable ultimate move?
Facing the defense of Yingxiong, Anthony squeezed twice with his back and failed to squeeze in. He turned the frame and made a pull-up jumper-missed.

James Johnson grabbed the rebound and handed Calderon the push.

I don't know why, but Calderon played badly against Jeremy Lin's team this season.In the two games against Jeremy Lin, his performance was not as good as the season average.In the last home game against the Knicks, he was put into a quasi-lore by the opponent in the final stage, and finally lost at home.

In order to protect Anthony, the Knicks chose to let Landry Fields guard Yingxiong.In Mike Woodson's system, Anthony, as the core of the team, naturally needs to be protected.
