Chapter 126: Showdown at number three
In the game against the Pacers, Lian Dao achieved a quasi-triple double record of 48 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.
At the same time, Lian Dao also scored a career high of 48 points.
The five-game winning streak at the start can be said to be the best start for the Knicks since 2000.
Similarly, all the media did not expect the Knicks to start with a five-game winning streak.
Although the Knicks' opponents in these five games are not very strong except for the Heat, it can also explain a lot of problems.
You must know that the Knicks were always at the bottom of the Eastern Conference last season.
And this season, just because Lian Dao was selected to start, there was a wave of five consecutive victories.
There is nothing more crazy and shocking than this.
Everyone was full of fish, but Knicks, a bastard, quietly left the team.
During the five-game winning streak at the beginning, Lian Dao also beat Howard to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Week on November 1.
Lian Dao's average record in the first three games is: 39 points, 16 assists and 11.6 rebounds.
Howard ranked second with an average of 21.7 points and 16 rebounds per game.
The Orlando Magic also achieved a complete victory in the previous three games.
But in comparison, Lian Dao's data is even better, so Lian Dao was undoubtedly elected as the best player of the Eastern Conference on November 1st.
And the best player of the week in the Western Conference was given to Carmelo Anthony.
37.7 points, 7 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
The Denver Nuggets are currently 5 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.
Although they achieved a five-game winning streak at the beginning, many media also believe that the Knicks' good luck is over.
Because the next opponent is the Cavaliers with James and the Utah Jazz, a strong team in the Western Conference playoffs.
No one thinks that with the current lineup of the Knicks, the Cavaliers with James and Shaquille O'Neal can be defeated.
…
Cleveland, inside a villa.
Wade, one of the Four Heroes, called LeBron at this time.
"LeBron, I heard you play against the Knicks next game?" Wade asked James.
"Yes, brother, let me avenge you in the next game." LeBron also said with a little joy at this time.
He really didn't expect that the second and fourth brothers of the Four Heroes would overturn on the same person.
The point is, that person is still a rookie who just entered the league.
This can be regarded as the biggest talking point for the two of them that James got.
"Hey, LeBron, don't underestimate that kid. His physical fitness is definitely not inferior to yours. The most important thing is that he has an excellent three-pointer and a breakthrough speed that is not inferior to a guard." At this time Wade also Kindly advise.
"Second brother, are you scared out of your wits by that kid? Don't worry, leave it to me. I will let him see how powerful our Four Heroes are!" James disapproved of Wade's words.
Seeing this, Wade knew that James didn't stop with a word.
Regarding this, Wade couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. Could it be that James will be next?
But he also persuaded him with good words, as to whether he would listen or not, it was none of his business.
The media hype for this game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers is very high.
The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the following challengers have emerged one after another.
Among the challengers, Lian Dao is the fiercest. His debut is the peak. Many media commented on Lian Dao: He seems to have no rookie season, and it seems that the NBA does not need much adaptation for him.
This time everyone wanted to see who was the better of the two talented players.
November 6, 8 p.m., Madison Square Garden.
Today's game is also highly anticipated, not only the duel between Lian Dao and James.
Also, if the Knicks win this game, they will continue to expand their winning streak, and if they lose, they may collapse directly and start a losing streak.
After the Cavaliers win this game, their regular season record will become 4 wins and 3 losses.
Madison Square Garden is also crowded today.
The famous director Spike Lee also came to watch the Knicks game.
The commentator of this game is also Barkley, a die-hard fan of Lian Dao, and he and his old partner Kenny partnered to explain the game.
Before the game, James also frequently locked his eyes on Lian Dao. He also wanted to see who could make Wade tell him so on the phone.
He was about the same height as himself, and his body was not as strong as his own, until James saw Lian Dao's wingspan.
"hiss!"
What a monster, with such a long arm span.
He looked at Lian Dao's wingspan, then at his own, and ran to the side to shoot.
It's kind of shocking.
In fact, James' wingspan talent is also very good, with a height of 203cm and a wingspan of 214cm. Although the wingspan is 11BA more than the height, although it is not a monster, it is definitely a talent.
But compared with Lian Dao, he is a little less confident in this regard.
Lian Dao also noticed that there seemed to be a bunch of eyes looking at him just now, but when he turned his head, he didn't notice it.
This made him a little confused. Could it be that it was too late to chat with the little senior sister yesterday?
Before the opening game, Lian Dao also practiced his shooting skills, which was still good. He tried to shoot a few three-pointers, all of which were direct hits, which was quite good.
…
At the same time, the CCTV live broadcast room.
"Hello, viewers, welcome to the NBA game broadcast live on the sports channel. Next up is the New York Knicks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers."
"The two of us are the commentators of this game, and we will explain the next game for you."
"The Knicks have improved by leaps and bounds after joining Lian Dao this season and have become the biggest dark horse in the Eastern Conference. The current record is tied with the Magic and the Celtics No. 1 in the East."
"Their opponents, the Cavaliers, also traded O'Neal before this season to reinforce the interior. The 37-year-old O'Neal's strength should not be underestimated, and the Cavaliers were also a playoff team last season. It can be seen that the lineup is also very strong. .”
"This game is not only a battle between the two teams, but also the first match between two talented youngsters."
"Everyone wants to know who is currently the strongest."
"Let us look forward to the wonderful performance of Lian Dao and James in the game!
Rather than talking about the battle between the Cavaliers and the Knicks, it is better to say that the battle between Lian Dao and James's strongest small forward came happily.
Both of them are geniuses, one is the little emperor of the Megatron Alliance, and the other is the record reaper with shocking statistics at the beginning.
These two people seem to be natural enemies, and they need to compete.
At this moment, Danny Green, on the bench of the Cavaliers, looked enviously at Lian Dao on the court, and his heart felt sour.
The same batch of players entered the NBA, some of them have become the core players of the team, and some of them have not even played a game so far.
He also wants to be the center of attention like Lian Dao, but talent is really important.
well,
Danny Green also sighed at this time, his eyes were blank, and he could play at any time, even if it was garbage time.
Knicks starting lineup: Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Lian Dao, Millsap, David Lee.
Cavaliers starting lineup: Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, LeBron James, Anderson Vallejo, Shaquille O'Neal
