NBA: No. 1 Forward

The Knicks game against the Bulls also attracted a lot of attention, nothing else, December 25 is Christmas, and this game is also one of the five Christmas games.

The Knicks played against the Bulls on Christmas. This schedule was arranged by the league early in the morning, and Lian Dao didn't know why the league would arrange such a game for the Knicks on Christmas.

Could it be that the league thinks the match between the two top picks is more interesting?

Of course, now it seems that the Heat and the Knicks may be more gimmick at Christmas. Many fans also said that they would like to see the Knicks and the Heat collide again. Many people also want to see whether Lian Dao can become a dragon-slaying teenager. Slay the Heat, the biggest dragon in the league.

On December 25th, the league held five Christmas games on this day. This is a practice over the years. It is basically a culture of the NBA. Of course, the teams that are eligible to participate in the Christmas game are all after last season or summer After the transaction, the teams that everyone pays more attention to are very strong in terms of strength.

The game between the Knicks and the Bulls was scheduled for 12 o'clock in the evening, which is the fifth game. Although the Knicks are not the opening ceremony, it is also very good to be the finale!

The most important thing is that the attention of the Knicks is among the best in the league. Although the Knicks and the Bulls do not have as much attention as the Heat, there are still many fans looking forward to the Christmas matchup between the two top picks!

It can also be seen from the opponents arranged for the Christmas game that the Knicks did not become the main team that the league favored before the start of the season. Compared with the Heat and Los Angeles, the Knicks are actually at the bottom.

But this is also normal. Although the Knicks have strengthened this season, no one expected that the Knicks will have a 25-game winning streak this season, and Lian Dao has scored 70+ points in a single game one after another.

However, it can be seen that the league attaches importance to the Knicks in the finale. After all, the Christmas game between the Knicks and the Heat last season set a global live broadcast record at the time.

The first game is the Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers, the classic No. 23 vs. No. 24. One is the Big Three who have just completed the championship in the summer, and the other is the defending champion Lakers last season. A preview of the final!

Moreover, the Heat's recent winning streak has also brought the attention of this game to the peak. Now many people are also looking forward to the Heat's performance, but the Lakers' recent momentum is not particularly good, and their impact is obviously not as good as the previous two seasons.

The current record of the Lakers is overwhelmed by the Spurs, which was not optimistic beforehand, and the odds of winning the championship are also falling all the way; at present, the biggest variable is the New York Knicks.

In the second game, the Celtics played against the Magic, the battle between the strongest insiders in the Eastern Conference, and the Wolf King played against Warcraft. This is also a game that fans are more interested in.

In the third game, the Thunder played against the Nuggets. This was Durant's third-position matchup. Anthony was also the player he wanted to surpass the most besides Lian Dao. This game was also dubbed by many fans as the strongest third position in the West. showdown!

In the fourth game against the Portland Trail Blazers against the Golden State Warriors, the healthy Huang Mambaro will never lack attention. He is also regarded by many people as Kobe's successor. Attitude is the player most like him.

Although the Golden State Warriors' record this season is not very good, the tactics of substituting offense for defense also make the Warriors' style of play very gorgeous. Moreover, the Warriors' double guns in the backcourt this season, the terrifying scoring efficiency is also secretly staggering.

The fifth game is the Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls, the two top picks, and both teams have strengthened the 4th position in the summer. It is a two-gun matchup that the league is very optimistic about!

It's just that before the start of the season, many people didn't expect that the Bulls' starting center Noah was absent due to injury, and the Knicks' starting power forward Stoudemire was absent due to injury.

This year, the Spurs and Mavericks were not selected for the Christmas game. Before the start of the new season, who would have thought that the Spurs could change their style of play and play a smooth offense, and their record has remained in the top three in the league and first in the Western Conference.

Everyone thinks that the Spurs are old, and everyone thinks that the Spurs will always be just boring positional warfare, but this season's Spurs have taught all teams in the league a lesson.

…

Although the Knicks ushered in a three-game losing streak after 25 consecutive victories, they also ended their losing streak after defeating the Thunder by a big score.

But so far the Knicks' record is still the joint number one.

Eastern Division standings—

1. The New York Knicks are 26-3.

2. The Boston Celtics are 23-4.

3. Miami Heat 22-9

4. The Atlanta Hawks are 19-12.

5. The Chicago Bulls are 18-9.

6. The Orlando Magic are 17-12.

7. The Indiana Pacers are 13-14.

8. The Milwaukee Bucks are 12-16.

The most surprising thing about this ranking is the Orlando Magic, but logically speaking, last season, the Magic, which was still running into the lineup, has always been ranked in the top three in the league, but this season they are too far behind, which makes some fans very happy. I don't understand.

The reason is that the Magic have not improved.

It's still the old way, one star and four shots, but many teams in the East have reinforced their insides. When Howard is restricted, they can't play an advantage at all with a one star and four shots lineup.

Moreover, their perimeter has always lacked a playmaker.

Therefore, the Magic management also initiated a new round of transactions. On December 18, they traded Rashard Lewis to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Gilbert Arenas.

The Washington Wizards finally got rid of the cancer in the locker room of Arenas and really helped the No. 1 pick John Wall.

They then traded Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mikael Pietrus, cash and a 2011 first-round pick to the Phoenix Suns on the same day for Earl Clark , Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu.

They have brought back the former organizational small forward Hedo Turkoglu, and sometimes they lose their importance before they realize their importance. In the playoffs last season, including the beginning of this season, they did not have a stable organizer on the outside. , When Howard was restricted, the offense completely stagnated.

Although Vince Carter can pass the ball, his overall view and organizational skills on the court are not as good as Hedo Turkoglu.

A person who can organize must be able to pass the ball; but a person who can pass the ball is not necessarily a master of organization!

The Boston Celtics still give everyone a feeling of being old and strong this season, but since the recent wave of injuries has swept Boston, some fans of the Celtics are also sweating for the Celtics.

However, judging from the current record, the Celtics are still firmly in the second position in the Eastern Conference.

…

On December 25th, Christmas, the biggest traditional festival in the West, is coming~www.innread.com~ The whole New York is also very festive, including Madison Square Garden.

However, Lian Dao was not excited. He was indifferent to some traditional festivals in the West. Moreover, Westerners prefer to eat turkey, but Lian Dao didn't think that food was delicious. Lian Dao felt that it was hard to swallow. .

On Christmas Day, Lian Dao himself has been following the team to prepare for the big game at night since the day.

The famous basketball commentator Jr. Van Gundy also predicted in a program that the Knicks are likely to win more than 70 games this season, and may even break the Bulls' 72 regular season wins that year.

Of course, some people agree with and some people disagree with Van Gundy Jr.'s prediction.

Most of those who agree think that although the Knicks have ended their 25-game winning streak, they have also relieved the pressure of winning streak.

The Knicks without pressure are more likely to show their full strength, and even without Stoudemire, the Knicks still beat the Thunder by a big score under the leadership of Lian Dao, which also makes many people more optimistic about the complete Knicks.

Of course, those who opposed gave too many reasons. For example, the current strength of the Knicks has not yet reached the level of a rare opponent, such as Stoudemire's injury and so on...

Today's game, the media is still more optimistic about the Knicks' victory over the Bulls. Although Stoudemire is still absent from the game due to injuries, the backbone of the Knicks is Lian Dao. As long as he can maintain a high level of performance, then this game will not be a problem .

Stoudemire originally wanted to make a comeback in this game. After all, no one wants to miss the annual big scene, but the team doctor did not advise him to come back early, and D'Antoni also persuaded him.

Compared with the Christmas game, the playoffs are the Knicks' main battleground. Their goal this season is also to win the championship, so Stoudemire's complete recovery from injuries is the biggest guarantee for the playoffs!
