Chapter 759： Substitute power, history No. 2

This game has everyone in the Knicks praised!

espn: "The team spirit and tenacity of the Knicks players are the keys to their continued victories."

In the case of the general feel of the team, relying on the performance of key players and the defense of the whole team, the Knicks still won the game after all.

Left standing defense, Randolph's offense, Curry's passing, and the team's coordinated operations all left a deep impression on the audience!

Of course, there is also their unyielding will and unwillingness to admit defeat.

Under all kinds of unfavorable situations, they can still bite at a critical moment even when they feel bad in the hand, they are exhausted after consecutive battles, and the pressure from the outside world is huge, so what else can stop them?

The 20-game winning streak is already an unattainable record for many teams, and the 22-game winning streak has tied the second-longest winning streak in league history created by the Rockets, which is already an immortal achievement.

Now, there is only one record that everyone knows ahead of the Knicks, and that is the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

Of course, the 22-game winning streak is still a long way from the 33-game winning streak. No one thinks that the Knicks will definitely break the Lakers record at this time, but they are indeed the closest team to this record except the Rockets over the years. .

Of course, the entire Knicks team did not regard 33 consecutive victories as a goal that must be achieved, especially after these few games that were not particularly smooth, the Knicks felt a sense of unloading their burdens.

Although the previous victory was gratifying, the feeling of wanting to win and being afraid of losing has always affected the state of the Knicks. No way, honor sometimes becomes a burden. Almost no one can escape such emotions, including Zuo Li, after all , who doesn't want to keep winning.

But after these few games, Zuo Li and the others also figured it out. Anyway, it is already the second in history. It doesn't matter if they lose. No one will take the unbreakable 33-game winning streak as a means of attacking others.

After thinking about all this and looking back at the victories one after another, the desire to fight in the locker room has reached its peak directly.

"Enjoy the game." Zuo Li posted on ins.

On December 13, the Knicks flew to the Denver Plateau to face the Nuggets. After half a month, the two teams ushered in a second battle.

In the first game, Anthony, who was unwilling to fight and only cared about his own play, easily ruined the victory of the game.

His singles are really inexplicable in a sense. In the entire NBA history, Anthony's personal offensive strength can be ranked first.

Everyone only knows the three threats, but Anthony's personal skills are very comprehensive. In addition to his face frame skills, his back-to-back ability is also excellent. He can layup, projectile, hook, make a quick stop fake shot and complete the action, and can use 2+1 flexibly. Skill, consistent shooting, and excellent 3-point shooting allow him to cover the entire 3-point range.

At the same time, his strong body makes him not afraid of any level of confrontation at the 3 position, even if the opponent is James' level.

Fans who like melon must have a fresh memory of a game. Anthony, who moved to the Knicks in 2012, scored 42 points and led the team to win the top three of the Heat, which made James numb.

And since he entered the league, his scoring ability has also been compared to Kobe's level, which shows his status in the hearts of fans.

However, Zuo Li always felt that Anthony's style of play could not adapt to the overall team.

The first is defense. It's not that he doesn't know how to defend. With his physical quality, he wants to defend very casually. In 2009, he was the most active and efficient defender, and he also led the team to the Western Conference Finals, but he just didn't want to defend.

Offense wins games and defense wins championships. If a team's defense isn't good, it can't go much further in the playoffs.

Anthony's existence is basically equal to four defenses and five, which is impossible to win, especially at critical moments, it is too easy to be targeted.

The second is that he is not a team. After all, it is difficult for one person's score to limit team cooperation. Although Anthony is a scoring machine, it is difficult for him to connect a team together.

Before Billups came, the Nuggets were in the first round every year. After Billups came, he brought organization and defense, which made the Nuggets rise rapidly.

Anthony is so unique this season, averaging 1.5 assists per game in the first 20 games, but the Nuggets still rank fifth. This cannot be without Billups' combing on the offensive end, or Jr Smith can't reconcile it, let alone It is said that there are still a lot of newcomers waiting to be fed.

In this rematch, the Knicks still focused their attention on Billups. Beverley made his first start of the season. Belinelli was replaced by Danny Green after 3 minutes and 45 seconds. The Knicks basically Is to use the strongest perimeter defensive lineup.

And Anthony, who is basically a one-on-one with Battier, will attack from the left when he enters the inside line, and ignores the Knicks when he shoots outside.

Therefore, Anthony played exceptionally cool in this game. He made 24 shots, hit 10 goals, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 29 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.

29 points is also the highest score of the game, one point higher than Zuo Li's 28 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks.

This is the difference between Zuo Li, he can score, he can score high, and he has proved his scoring ability. He is not soft at critical moments, but he is very team-oriented. He needed him to score last season, and he has been scoring. To cover for his teammates, he will raise the organization, and the defense is also meticulous, and he never stays in the water.

This is why Zuo Li can bring a rookie-dominated team to a championship level.

In this game, although Anthony played very well, the Nuggets still lost 105,113 at home.

And the reason why he only lost 8 points, Billups' 12 points and 11 assists is very crucial, he let this jr nerve knife get 18 points, otherwise I'm afraid to lose more.

After the game, Anthony said in a good mood that although the Knicks did not stop the winning streak, they played well.

However, the Nuggets fans are obviously not as optimistic as Anthony, because after this game, the Nuggets have also become the background plate of a new history.

After completing the double play against the Nuggets in the season, the Knicks also officially broke the 22-game winning streak achieved by the Rockets in the 0708 season, with 23-game winning streak and the second-longest winning streak in NBA history!

After the game, the Knicks team also raised 2 and 3 fingers respectively to celebrate this historic moment.

And Dayao, McGrady, Uncle Mu and other Rockets celebrities also sent messages to congratulate the Knicks.

It is worth mentioning that Battier has become the first person in history to win a winning streak because he participated in these two winning streaks as a Rockets player and a Knicks player respectively.

According to this, Shane is the ceiling of the winning streak.

Shane also posted two photos, Yao Mai and Zuo Li, respectively, and said jokingly: "Look, it turns out how important it is to hug your thighs!"
