Chapter 489 He just stood there, his shoulder dislocated!
After the Christmas battle.
The Knicks' next schedule includes games against the Suns (home), Hawks (home), Wizards (home), and Spurs (home).
Su Yan played five consecutive away games during his suspension.
Now, another five home games are on the table, a very favorable schedule, but... the opponents are not so easy.
The Suns: "Son of the Wind" Nash + "Little Tyrant" Stoudemire.
The Spurs' "Left-Handed Magic" Odom + "GDP"
Both of these teams are troublemakers.
In addition... the Eagles' scumbag Pachulia, his feud with Su Yan has attracted much attention.
This season is full of exciting moments.
The first thing to come is tonight's showdown with the sun.
Before this great battle began.
Can the Knicks win back-to-back championships?
This keyword became a trending topic.
There was a lot of discussion.
"Su Yan, who hit 17 three-pointers in a single game, scored a whopping 84 points, and hit a three-pointer to win the game against the Lakers, is simply too powerful. His growth over the course of a season makes him seem unstoppable."
He seems to be the best player in the league right now.
The era of the Knicks, no, the era of "Flame God"... has arrived!
"Yes, at the beginning of the season, or during the offseason, I think it was the moment the Heat's Big Three were formed."
The champion for next season will be decided.
It must be the Heat.
Then... after Paul went to the Lakers, I felt that the "diamond backcourt" was invincible.
The Lakers are also champions.
The championship will definitely come from either the Heat or the Lakers.
The Celtics and Spurs then made consecutive improvements, making the championship race even more intense.
No matter how you think about it.
The defending champion Knicks retained their championship roster during the offseason, only adding defensive stalwart Tony Allen to the roster.
They simply couldn't win the championship again.
Who knew... as the season progressed, I suddenly realized that the situation was far more complicated than it seemed.
The Knicks are far stronger than we imagine right now.
Although their team didn't make many additions, the young "New York Twins" are their biggest addition.
Growth over a season.
This will allow both players to make significant leaps in their performance, making this year's Knicks even stronger than last year's.
The Celtics and the Lakers.
A Tier 1 team and a Tier 0 team were both defeated by the Knicks, which is enough to show that the defending champions are still one of the strongest teams in the league.
"Yes.
The Knicks are really strong!
"In my opinion, the transformed Knicks are still the champions this year, and no one can take their championship trophy away from them!"
"Heh~ You only beat the Lakers once, and by only one point. It was such a lucky win. What's so great about that?!"
"In other words, if you win by 20 or 30 points and beat the Lakers in a massacre, then I'll truly admire you!"
Now? Heh!
The Knicks won't be so lucky next time, hitting another three-pointer to seal the victory!
"We Celtics are the same. One Knicks win doesn't mean anything. The new Celtics' Big Five will definitely win the championship!"
"It's too early to talk about definitely winning the championship. At least... let's keep beating the Spurs and the Heat first."
"The Heat's Big Three are an insurmountable obstacle for the Knicks."
"I don't know about the Heat, but... if the Knicks face the Spurs, they have no chance of winning."
The Spurs, who strengthen their roster in odd-numbered years, are destined for the championship this year!
"Hmph, the Suns will beat the Knicks tonight and let the league know... the 'Run-and-Gun Cyclone 1.0' is even stronger!"
"..."
Fans are discussing it endlessly.
While marveling at the Knicks' strength, we warm up for the Knicks' matchup against the Suns tonight.
……
8 p.m.
Half an hour before the match.
The two teams are doing their final warm-up.
The two teams played a game on November 26, which the Knicks won.
Tonight marks the second meeting between the two teams this season, and also their final matchup during the regular season.
In order to avoid being swept twice this season.
The entire Suns team is highly motivated and determined to win.
soon.
"boom!"
In the fiery atmosphere of the stadium.
The main competition is about to begin.
The starting lineups for both teams began to take the field.
Phoenix Suns Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Nash, Shooting Guard: Jason Richardson, Small Forward: Grant Hill, Power Forward: Channing Frye, Center: Stoudemire.
New York Knicks Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: Tony Allen, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: George, Center: Tyson Chandler.
"Jumpball!"
Stoudemire vs. Tyson Chandler.
"Snapped!"
Stoudemire wasn't as tall as Tyson, but he was more talented and swatted the basketball away first.
Nash received the ball and initiated the Suns' first offensive possession of the game.
He pushed the ball to the left arc, changed direction, accelerated to the left to break through Curry, and kept his eyes on Channing Frye in the left corner.
After drawing Tony Allen to help defend.
A pass to Grant Hill at the top post, then another pass to Stoudemire at the right low post.
He got the chance to play George one-on-one.
"Bang bang bang!"
Showing no sportsmanship whatsoever, Stoudemire violently charged at George, the rookie small forward who had taken over the power forward position.
I can't beat the little tyrant.
"hiss……"
George's lips twitched as he took several steps back.
Stoudemire drove hard to the basket, paused briefly after receiving the ball to make sure there was no help defense nearby, and then sprang up from the ground.
"boom!"
Ignoring George's defense.
The basketball was violently slammed into the hoop.
In the next possession, it was another combination between Nash and Stoudemire, with Stoudemire receiving the ball and cutting to the basket.
They didn't even spare Tyson.
In the violent confrontation, the ball suddenly erupted again, as if springs were installed under its feet.
They instantly dominated the skies.
Tyson has strength, height, and wingspan, but... his explosiveness is far inferior to Stoudemire's.
He didn't even have time to jump.
"boom!"
Stoudemire once again violently slammed the ball into the basket with one hand, leaving it hanging on the rim and swaying for a moment.
It is highly visually appealing.
"COMEON!"
In the commentary box.
Amy Johnson laughed excitedly, "Stoudemire's playing style is as domineering as ever."
There's absolutely no fancy stuff; it's all about talent and stats.
Even Paul George was helpless and could only watch.
"Tsk tsk..."
Kenny Smith couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "Paul George's talent is really not bad, it's just... he's a small forward."
It will be quite difficult to play against Stoudemire at positions 4 and 5.
but.
Steve Nash's passing was also crucial to Stoudemire's excellent performance.
He always manages to give Stoudemire a good offensive position, which makes Stoudemire's attack more comfortable.
It's even more destructive.
The two commentators were talking.
On the field.
After Curry pushes the ball over, he first sets a screen for Tony Allen to shake off Jason Richardson.
Nash quickly moved to cover.
Su Yan's gaze sharpened, and he stepped forward, crossing his arms in front of him and standing still.
He positioned himself in Nash's defensive path to provide off-ball screens for Curry.
Nash rushed forward without thinking, and when he encountered Su Yan, he tried to dodge and continue the chase.
He dodged it?!
They dodged it, but not completely.
Nash accelerated to catch up with Su Yan, and basically dodged him, but... when the two passed each other, their shoulders still bumped.
It looked like an ordinary collision.
"Ahhh~"
But... Nash clutched his left arm and screamed in agony!
