Chapter 464 464. Nix

After the All-Star Weekend, Liu Ren invited some NBA acquaintances to get together, and then signed an autograph at the Nike flagship store in New York, and then the first game of the Lakers after the All-Star Weekend will begin!

Liu Ren did not leave New York, because the Lakers' first game after the All-Star Weekend was an away game against the New York Knicks!

Liu Ren came to the hotel where the Lakers stayed to gather. Kobe had also returned to the team at this time, and rented a meeting room in the hotel for the team meeting.

"Okay, after so many days of rest, everyone should cheer up and face the next half of the season. I won't say much else. Now everyone's goals are very clear. The most important thing for us at this stage is At least 73 wins. It’s false to say that you don’t care about the record. You care a lot. My seat coach cares more than you. Our efforts for the past six months are aimed at this goal.” D’Antoni is not so official this time, but He directly expressed everyone's aspirations, "But I didn't expect that we would have so many people selected as All-Stars this time, and now they have become the target of public criticism."

"That's right, I thought my truce would allow us to keep a low profile in the All-Stars. I didn't expect the league to save face and give us two absent spots." Kobe heard Korver and Green at the same time because he and Paul It is also dumbfounding that Truce was selected as an All-Star substitute by the league.

"Yes, the situation we are facing now is not optimistic. Although we only lost 50 games in more than 4 games before, the remaining 30 games are the key!" Green analyzed as the voice of the young players.

This can be regarded as the league's affirmation of the Lakers' record. Reasonably, they should be happy. They were indeed very happy at the time, but after the All-Star Weekend, facing possible targets from all teams in the league, it would not be so fun. up.

Now for many teams, beating the Lakers has become a lot more aggressive.

To beat the Lakers now, for other teams, it is possible to become one of the teams that sniped the Lakers to break the regular season record. When the Lakers are mentioned, they will think of those teams that successfully sniped them Like the Bulls with 72 wins, when people check the Bulls' 72-win record, they will write which teams defeated the invincible team in that year.

Now, the Lakers have six players selected for the All-Star Game this year. Even if other teams beat the Lakers, even if they did not succeed in sniping the Lakers' plan to break the regular season win record, they still defeated a team with six All-Stars. Stars and even seven All-Star teams will also be famous in basketball history.

Kobe, D'Antoni, Green, and Gasol, the brains of the team, began to analyze which opponents the Lakers will face next will be difficult to deal with, how to avoid losing, and which teams can not work so hard...

The more Liu Ren listened, the more something was wrong. How did this group of people know how to boost their morale?Now the faces of many Lakers players are clouded, obviously worried about the next game.

Liu Ren couldn't help but interrupted: "Hey, is there a need to be so nervous? We shouldn't be the ones who should be nervous, right?"

Everyone looked at Liu Ren who hadn't spoken before. Seeing that he had attracted other attention, Liu Ren continued: "We are number one in the league. We don't need to be nervous. It's the opponents who should be nervous. They are worried about encountering What should we do, not what we should do if we are worried about meeting them, I think our next opponents are more nervous than us, and they are all afraid of being abused by us. No matter who the opponent is, we just need to win."

Although this may sound a bit crazy and arrogant, but I have to say that it really makes sense!
Kobe felt that the older he was, the more he had to worry about. He smiled casually: "It's really like what Liu said, no matter who the opponent is, wouldn't it be fine if we win?"

"That's right, it's fine if we don't win, as long as we keep winning and the record will come soon?"

"Boss is right!"

"..."

"..."

Seeing Liu Ren's words made his teammates' worried mentality relaxed and more fighting spirit, D'Antoni felt that Liu Ren seemed to exude the temperament of a leader...

……

……

On February 2, the Lakers came to Madison Square Garden again after a year.

Since Madison Square Garden joined Stoudemire in 2010, it can be regarded as an elation, and it has a reason to cheer for the team.

Although the Knicks played extremely badly in the first half of last season, they suddenly woke up later and played an epic counterattack. Hei Ba went all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, which is quite the momentum of Ewing leading the Hei Ba to the Finals. .

This year, the Knicks continue to make great strides and have reached the second place in the Eastern Conference. If it weren't for the Hawks' dominance in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks would be the best and most stable team in the Eastern Conference this year.

This year, Knicks fans are not afraid to face any team. They have defeated the Eagles, Cavaliers, Warriors, Rockets, Trail Blazers and other strong teams.

However, today's opponent was different. When Knicks fans saw that the opponent was the Lakers, Madison Square Garden fell into an eerie silence.

Unlike when the Knicks often cheered for the visiting team when they were still a weak team, and they began to boo their opponents with confidence after becoming stronger in the past few years, they are very quiet now.

When Liu Ren came to Madison Square Garden last season and scored 40+ at halftime and led the Lakers to slaughter his own team, the Knicks fans still feel it.

特别是今年刘仁显然比上赛季更加残暴，场均可以拿到34.6分8.4个篮板2.6次助攻还有2.4次抢断和1.6个盖帽，还有过单场70多分和“个人”击败一支球队的超强个人能力，都让尼克斯球迷不敢发出嘘声去激怒他。

Last season, Liu Ren was provoked by the Knicks management before the bloody scene happened.

Today Liu Ren's family came to Madison Square Garden to watch the game again. This time, the Knicks management didn't have a fever to refuse Liu Ren's request for tickets. They were also scared!
The game is about to start, Liu Ren took off his training clothes and went on the field.

The Knicks' biggest threat to the Lakers is Anthony, Liu Ren's opponent in this game.

Now that the season has started, the stats of the stars have begun to stabilize. Except for Westbrook who is soaring all the way, the stats of the others should have changed little.

Liu Ren ranks first in points per game and is the only player in the league with an average of more than 30 points per game. The second is Harden with an average of 27.8 points per game, and the third is Westbrook with an average of 26.5 points per game. However, Westbrook's scoring has been at a high speed rise.

The fourth and fifth are the two strongest scorers of the 03 class, James and Anthony, both of whom averaged 26 points per game.

These five are also all players in the league who average more than 25 points per game.

In the current era of teamwork, anyone who can average 25 points per game is a super scorer.

Anthony is one of the few super scorers in the league now, and his efficiency since the end of last season has become extremely efficient, which is the key to the Knicks' resurgence.

This year Liu Ren saw Anthony from the All-Stars, and he discovered that Anthony was very different from the time he met last year.

Anthony is more confident!
