NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

The first half of the game.

62: 51.

The Knicks entered the second half with an 11-point lead.

It's just that the Knicks generals couldn't be happy anyway.

Alan Houston is nearly 32 years old, Sprewell is nearly 33 years old.

Compared with the veterans of the Wizards.

The age of these two is indeed not considered old, and it can even be said that they are still at the tail end of their peak.

It's just that I know best about my own affairs.

The Knicks won the last game against the Magic.

However, both of these main players played for more than 40 minutes.

In this game, the two of them did not get 1 second of rest time in the first half.

Originally, the first quarter had already achieved a huge advantage, and the second quarter allowed the main players to relax a little.

But the Wizards changed the lineup, but the score kept clinging.

This is the result of the Knicks' main force still staying on the court.

If the main force is replaced, there will still be a chance to catch up if you are not curious, and even overtake the score.

Head coach Don Cheney has watched a lot of Wizards game tape.

This situation is not particularly uncommon for the Wizards.

The important thing is that Zhou Yao still stayed on the court to connect the teams.

This also made Don Cheney dare not relax in the slightest.

As soon as the third quarter comes up.

Zhou Yao scored 2 three-pointers in a row.

The point difference was instantly reduced to only 5 points.

As a result, Don Cheney was even more afraid to replace the main force.

Collins put on an inscrutable look.

It was not until 5 minutes into the third quarter that the entire main lineup was replaced.

Sprewell also scored 2 three-pointers in the third quarter, and the audience has already scored 3 three-pointers.

Sprewell is shooting decent [-]-pointers this season.

This is definitely a mission overfulfilled.

Finally, the point difference was widened to 8 points.

It's just that, for him, he really did his best.

After Jordan came on the court, he swept away the slump at the beginning, and it can almost be said that he shot no matter what he did.

The perimeter defense composed of Zhou Yao, Jordan, and Arenas strangled the Knicks' two most scoring perimeter players.

At the end of the third quarter, the score had come to 87:86.

The Knicks advantage was compressed to only 1 point.

……

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Wizards stepped up their inside offensive.

Wang Zhizhi got more shots.

At the same time, the Wizards' outside strangle battle is not over.

Houston and Sprewell have done their best, but they can provide less and less help to the team.

At the end of the game with 3 minutes left, Sprewell simply called a timeout, and then took the initiative to apply for a replacement.

The score is already behind.

The important thing is that these Knicks players on the court are very tired.

Houston did not take the initiative to ask for a rest.

But it can also be seen that he is obviously not working hard.

finally.

Jordan scored 33 points.

Zhou Yao had 15 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists, and 6 steals.

The Wizards took the win.

And the Knicks are getting farther and farther away from the playoffs.

……

"What is Don Cheney doing!"

At the end of the game, the New York media expressed dissatisfaction with the choice of the head coach.

"The Knicks built a huge lead in the first quarter."

"And we all know that the Wizards are currently short-handed major generals."

"This is the most difficult time for them."

"Even, even Jordan showed fatigue."

"That's the kind of game where the Knicks have a win and a solid foundation for the playoffs."

"But, what is our head coach doing!"

"Is it true that our Knicks have no one who can be used except for those few main players?"

"It was his tactical error."

"Let the main players stay on the field for a long time, but they can't establish enough advantages."

"The result is that at the most critical moment, our players have no energy!"

"You know, the average age of our main players is also over 30 years old, not as young as imagined!"

……

On March 3, the Wizards played against the Magic at home.

Before this game, McGrady finally did not continue to make any remarks about the Wizards.

Even if the reporters took the initiative to find him, McGrady insisted on not saying a word.

No way, the Magic is now 32 wins and 32 losses, which is barely a playoff-level team.

The Wizards are 38 wins and 25 losses.

Although the winning rate of the previous games is not high, there is still a possibility of hitting the number one in the Eastern Conference.

The wizards who played against each other before also had an advantage.

Zhou Yao has already won 24 triple-doubles. Unless something unexpected happens, Zhou Yao will be the triple-double king this season.

Even if McGrady has any ideas, it is difficult to find a reason to criticize Zhou Yao.

More importantly, Jordan is now averaging 32.3 points per game, McGrady is 32 points.

It is already very difficult for McGrady to win the scoring title.

Mike Miller traded to the Grizzlies.

Grant Hill was injured again.

Even in this game, it is difficult for the Magic to win.

……

Just like most people predicted.

In this game, McGrady got unlimited fire rights.

The audience scored 45 points efficiently.

At least in terms of scoring, this game does not lose to Jordan.

Jordan also scored 32 points.

However, McGrady's scoring average is still behind.

The Magic also failed to walk away with a win.

For McGrady, this game finally did not allow Zhou Yao to steal and block shots in front of him.

Fully demonstrated his scoring ability.

Just, for the fans.

McGrady was too focused on scoring in this game.

Also too focused to score more points than Jordan.

But Zhou Yao was allowed to score the highest score of the game.

It became the key to the Magic's loss.

Zhou Yao had 48 points, 19 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

……

"Let Zhou Yao score 20 points alone in the first quarter, this is absolutely unforgivable!"

"Even counting this game, Zhou Yao's shooting percentage this season is only 36.3%."

"Obviously, that's not a hit rate to brag about."

"An important fact is that Zhou Yao's shooting rate exceeds 50% in very few games this season."

"There was only one game with a 66.7% hit rate against the Hornets before."

"Coincidentally, Zhou Yao also scored 48 points in that game."

"And this time, under the defense of the Magic team, Zhou Yao's shooting percentage was as high as 71.4%."

"Even, our team allowed Zhou Yao to hit the only mid-range shot this season."

"If I remember correctly, the last time Zhou Yao made a mid-range shot seemed to be when he faced our team in the playoffs last season."

"I even think that Zhou Yao may not have such a high hit rate even if he pokes a stake on the field!"

After being defeated by the same team three times in a season, Orlando's media is also venting their dissatisfaction.

……

On March 3, the Wizards will challenge the Pistons away.

Zhou Yao's rebound average is close to 15.2.

Everyone wants to know how Zhou Yao will behave when facing Wallace again...
