Chapter 291: Do you think I look like an idiot?
On the basis of ensuring the original lineup in the offseason, the Eagles signed Yin Tan Thomas and Damian Wilkins in the free market to supplement the depth of the inside.
The Eagles have Eagle King Smith, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Marvin Williams and others.
As far as these people are concerned, their strength is very good, but they have not really grown up yet.
The biggest flaw of the Eagles is that the players are too thin to fight against, so every time the Eagles encounter the Cavaliers and Magic, they will lose very badly. None of the players can withstand the impact of James and Howard.
They can\'t even meet the wolf king Garnett. Every time Garnett plays the Eagles, he is very arrogant. For example, in the playoffs of last season, the Eagles faced the Celtics and were easily eliminated 4:2. One of the two victories was due to the Celtics\' negligence on the road, which was reversed by the Atlanta Hawks in the fourth quarter.
Therefore, the Eagles signed two inside players this season, hoping to strengthen the depth of the inside bench.
After fighting against each other last season, Lian Dao has already understood the strength of the Eagles, and he has already had experience in dealing with the Eagles\' defense.
As long as he hits the basket, basically no one can stop him. What they fear most is the tank collision, which is why the Eagles were beaten badly every time they faced the Cavaliers.
On November 27, the Knicks played against the Atlanta Hawks at home. It is worth mentioning that when D\'Antoni wanted Stoudemire to take turns, Stoudemire did not agree.
The Knicks also relied on Lian Dao\'s second triple-double of the season to beat the Atlanta Hawks at home.
In this game, Lian Dao kept hitting the basket against Al Horford\'s defense and scored the ball. Because Lian Dao kept hitting the basket to seek confrontation, Al Horford had accumulated 5 fouls just after halftime.
In the third quarter, Eagles head coach Larry Drew had no choice but to put Al Horford on the bench, and the Eagles lost Al Horford\'s guard and directly became the back garden of Stoudemire and Millsap , Stoudemire and Millsap blasted the Eagles\' inside defense in the third quarter.
And Lian Dao saw that the two felt good, and was happy to send them shells. In the third quarter alone, Lian Dao got 9 assists on these two.
The Eagles still had a good touch in this game. After three quarters, they were only 10 points behind the Knicks.
But the Hawks collapsed in the fourth quarter. Holiday held the ball and broke through Mike Bibby. The 32-year-old Mike Bibby could put pressure on Holiday on the defensive end last season, but this season, Holiday, who is constantly improving in confrontation ability, directly Just used his body to break through the defense and rushed to the basket. Seeing that Holiday was about to score a layup, Josh Smith was pulled outside the three-point line by Millsap, and it was too late to return to the defense.
Helpless, Al Horford could only step forward to defend, but Holiday\'s ball was not mainly for scoring. He found Horford who jumped up in the air, leaned forward, and threw the ball towards the basket.
It was too late when Horford found out that he had been fooled.
"Beep!" The referee\'s whistle sounded, and Horford left the field with 6 fouls.
"Bang, brush!" Unexpectedly, Holiday\'s casual throw did not expect that it bounced off the backboard and into the basket.
"2+1!"
And it was this two plus one that not only knocked Horford down, but also seriously injured the Eagles\' momentum. After that, the Eagles missed shots one after another from the outside, but the Knicks played steadily, constantly hitting the basket and scoring. Watch out for the black feet of Slag Pachulia, though.
In this game, the Knicks also easily won at home. Lian Dao scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, 18 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in this game. There is only one game left in the 18-game winning streak in the history of the Pinnicks.
On November 28, the Knicks will rush to Detroit non-stop after winning, and their opponent is the declining Pistons. This can be regarded as their last back-to-back game in November.
Seeing that the hard times are coming to an end, all the Knicks players are screaming with excitement. Not only that, this game is also an important game for them to tie the 18-game winning streak in the history of the Knicks. Everyone is full of joy The momentum is bound to win this game at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
This game has also attracted the attention of many media and other teams in the league. They hope that the Pistons can stop the Knicks\' winning streak. It is the team that will play against the Knicks in the future. No one wants to be the stepping stone and background board of the Knicks\' winning streak.
The current record of the Pistons is 6 wins and 10 losses. Last season, their record was 27 wins and 55 losses. Many people thought that they would trade away Ben Gordon or Masked Hamilton in the off-season, so as to free up salary space and carry out team reconstruction. . But they didn\'t do this. The Pistons\' management still maintained the lineup of last season, and the summer free market only signed McGrady, a free agent recovering from a major injury.
In the summer of last season, they signed Ben Gordon from the Bulls for 58 million in five years, but the peak of Ben Gordon was given to the Bulls. Ben Gordon, who signed a big contract, performed well last season The collapse of the lake, from an average of 20.7 points per game fell off a cliff to an average of 13.8 per game, rebounds and assists have dropped more than the Bulls.
ESPN commented on Ben Gordon this way: a combo guard with a gorgeous jumper and a high arc. Fast and tight. Strong but lacking in reach. Possesses a lot of ball-handling turnovers, usually to the right. Average athletic ability. The defense is terrible, the defensive shooting guard lacks size, and the defensive point guard lacks speed.
It\'s a pity that Dumas, the general manager of the Pistons in the offseason last year, insisted on signing Ben Gordon. Not only that, he also signed Charlie Villanueva for 5 years and 37.7 million in the free market. Like Gordon, after coming to the Pistons, his performance has dropped significantly, from 16.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game before to 11.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season.
These two free agency signings not only unbalanced the Pistons\' lineup and caused the backcourt to be too bloated, but also caused the team to completely lose salary space in 2010.
This summer, the Pistons did not successfully trade away Ben Gordon or Hamilton, but signed McGrady with a basic salary, which is tantamount to directly extending the Pistons\' rebuilding period.
Dumars, the general manager of the Pistons, is also considered brainless by many people. Of course, some fans also ridiculed the Pistons management. They are optimistic that the Pistons will become the Knicks before the reconstruction-a garbage contract shelter!
If the Pistons want to complete the reconstruction, They must clean up the junk contracts signed in the transaction, such as: Ben Gordon, and veteran Hamilton, otherwise they will have no salary space to rebuild, and there will be no room for rookies to grow in the future .
This summer they originally wanted to select an inside player to calm down the team\'s bloated outside line. Unfortunately, their optimistic inside player Monroe was cut off by the Kings. Of course, this is more due to the Knicks. Adams took Cousins away at the second place, but they still chose an inside player, Cole Aldridge.
Well, they cut off the inside players that the Hornets wanted to trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder, which directly made the Hornets and Thunder management dumbfounded.
Hornets: Brother, do you still want this first-round pick?
Lei Ting: I need a hammer, do you think I look like an idiot? Everyone else has been chopped off!
Hornet: Mom sells batches, Xiao Chi Lao, dare to play Lao Tzu...
In this game, the media and some teams hoped to see the news that the Pistons upset the Knicks at home. The Pistons had nothing to do with the Knicks who were extremely excited about this game. Meyer and Cousins teamed up to blow it up.
On the outside, their so-called shooter league is restricted by the Knicks\' iron wall and cannot find the basket. The overall shooting percentage of the Pistons in this game is less than 35%. The deformity of the team lineup.
They will not be restored to the glory of the Pistons in a short time!
At the end of the game, the Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons 138:100 with a 38-point lead.
