Chapter 529 16-Game Winning Streak! The Nuggets' Perfect Big Three!
The Knicks are on a 12-game winning streak and in great form. The protection of the [Su Yan Law] has reduced the number of players who have recently provoked Su Yan.
Some players still got angry and frustrated after being thoroughly outplayed by Su Yan.
But when they clenched their fists, wanting to use force to get revenge on Su Yan...
They not only consider whether they can win the fight, but also whether they can bear the consequences of actively throwing a punch at Su Yan under the [Su Yan Law].
After careful consideration.
Most players chose to tolerate it.
Su Yan, who was able to play normally on the court, led the team to victory after victory.
13-game winning streak.
14-game winning streak.
15-game winning streak.
The Knicks won three straight games, tying their longest winning streak of the season, and are now aiming for a 20-game winning streak.
During this time.
More precisely, this period included regular training and intra-team practice matches.
Coach D'Antoni can see George's growing talent gradually manifesting in his defense and three-point shooting.
Also.
He also discovered that David Lee's low-post abilities, whether it was his footwork in the back-to-the-basket game or his hook shot in front of the basket, were all quite good in private practice games.
On the court, when paired with the "New York Twins," he could only act as a rim protector, scoring on putbacks using second-chance rebounds.
He felt it was a waste of David Lee's abilities.
George, when he gets going, seems to be more suited to the "Run-and-Gun Cyclone 2.0" style, with his speed, explosiveness, and jumping ability.
While observing, he considered whether to put the somewhat inexperienced but developing George into the starting lineup!
……
It was during the same period when the Knicks were on a 15-game winning streak.
No, the timeline can be pushed back a bit further.
Kevin Durant, one of the "Thunder Trio".
In his octagon match against Su Yan, he was psychologically attacked by a whisper in his ear and lost decisively.
It's like suddenly realizing something and starting to let go of oneself.
He danced intimately with prostitutes in a bar and chatted and laughed with several hot women on a yacht.
On the beach, he embraced bikini-clad beauties on both sides; in his villa, he raised a wine glass and chatted happily with beautiful women.
Du Xiaoshuai has completely changed his previous image as a "pure, devoted, and infatuated" young man, transforming into a "playboy" and indulging in life to the fullest.
Some fans are criticizing.
But many fans were secretly envious.
The key point is that... even as Durant indulged in a life of extravagance and luxury, his dominance on the court remained undiminished.
So far this season, he has averaged 29.5 points per game, second only to Su Yan, ranking second on the scoring list.
The Thunder are currently fourth in the Western Conference standings.
The top three are the Lakers, Spurs, and Mavericks, which is quite a good record.
A good performance leads to a good team record.
As long as Durant doesn't steal, rob, or do anything immoral off the court, he can do whatever he wants.
The harsher the criticism, the more envious one is inside.
……
One day later.
The Knicks defeated the Cavaliers, extending their winning streak to 16 games.
However... the fans' attention wasn't entirely on the Knicks, but rather on the Pepsi Center.
The Nuggets vs. Spurs matchup.
"The Nuggets' Big Three" vs. the Spurs' "GDP" + "Left-Handed Magic" Odom.
The Spurs are second in the Western Conference.
The Nuggets, who had previously suffered three consecutive losses, went on a four-game winning streak after Stoudemire arrived, and they played very aggressively in each game.
This matchup instantly became a preview of the Western Conference Finals!
Who is stronger?!
Not sure.
The match was incredibly intense and closely contested from the very beginning, reaching a fever pitch!
The game went back and forth, with the lead changing hands frequently.
But no one can launch a sustained offensive to widen the gap and take control of the game.
"No, that's the Spurs, one of the biggest favorites to win the championship in the West, a top-tier team."
The Nuggets have only added Stoudemire, yet they seem completely transformed, instantly becoming championship contenders.
In the commentary box.
Kenny Smith was astonished.
"Dude, what are you saying?!"
Kenny Smith looked at him with surprise, "Come on, that's 'Little Tyrant,' a top-five power forward in the league."
The Suns' strongest offensive core.
His addition will definitely boost the Nuggets' overall strength by leaps and bounds, turning them into a championship contender.
The key point is... the Nuggets' roster is currently very well-balanced and perfect.
"What do you mean by that?!"
Amy Johnson echoed her sentiments.
"what!"
Kenny Smith smiled, tapped his finger on the table, and didn't speak immediately. He then explained a few offensive rounds, keeping the fans in suspense.
"boom!"
After Stoudemire slammed a two-handed dunk over Duncan's head.
He continued, "Carmelo Anthony plays on the perimeter, and with the 'essence of human jump shooting,' he has too many ways to score with a jump shot."
He can put a lot of pressure on the opponent's offense from the outside.
"Little Tyrant" excels at inside offense. He doesn't have many skills; he relies entirely on his talent to overpower his opponents, resulting in impressive statistics.
He can put a lot of pressure on the opponent's offense in the paint.
Of course... Stoudemire's ability to protect the rim and defend in the paint should not be underestimated. The nickname "Little Tyrant" is not just for show.
One inside and one outside.
Melon and Little Tyrant together are enough to give their opponents a real headache.
On top of that, there is also an FMVP-caliber point guard, Billups, who not only has excellent passing ability but also plays with a calm and steady style.
His presence.
Not only can it control the game for the Nuggets, but it can also allow Melo and Little Kings to thrive and unleash even greater offensive power from both inside and outside.
The three of them worked together.
This gave the Nuggets a perfectly balanced and incredibly strong roster, allowing them to achieve a stunning four-game winning streak!
"Now that you mention it, the Nuggets are indeed impressive."
Amy Johnson nodded repeatedly, then added, "However... to put it another way..."
Only by winning against truly strong teams can one prove their strength.
Playing the Spurs tonight.
This is the Nuggets' best chance to prove they are a championship team!!!
"boom!"
The two commentators worked in perfect harmony, their eloquent and insightful commentary and analysis stirring up the emotions of the fans.
A deafening roar of cheers echoed throughout the stadium.
On the field.
The fierce battle continues, and the fierce battle has been ongoing.
The intense battle continued until the final quarter, with the last three points bringing it to a contest of "clutch shots".
High position on the right.
Anthony executed a triple threat in quick succession, a textbook triple threat shot that knocked Odom away.
"tread!"
"Stab!"
Anthony took a step to accelerate, then stopped abruptly – a textbook example of a stop-and-shoot jumper.
Picturesque.
"Shh!"
And it hit the target precisely.
On the defensive end, the Little King clung to Duncan, forcing him to take a shot, while Ginobili brought the ball in from the outside.
Seize the opportunity.
He lunged forward and swatted away Ginobili's twisting layup attempt during his "snake-like breakthrough."
Billups grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break in the frontcourt.
A long pass across the entire court, the basketball, like a scalpel, precisely found the "erratic" JR Smith who was sprinting down the frontcourt.
They set fire to the sky.
One-armed dunk!
Anthony, Stoudemire, and Billups—one on offense, one on defense, and one orchestrating the offense—combined to cremate the Spurs!
