I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 160 Is he still hiding his strength?
But when the New York Knicks had two consecutive defeats in front of them, some negative news still came out.

"I admit that China Jiang is strong, but it seems that he is not compatible with New York's big brother Carmelo Anthony. Anthony only scored 17 points and 14 points in the two games he came back. This is not a state of scoring kaleidoscope at all. I I have to suspect that China Jiang took the ball from Anthony!"

"Does the last two losses of the Knicks show that this team, which has suddenly risen like an upstart, is not ready to become a powerful team? Apart from China Jiang still getting good data, what other people in the team can provide The support is really limited, and countless historical examples tell us that going down with the current state of the Knicks will eventually cause some problems, perhaps the distribution of ball rights among players, or the conflict of status in the locker room."

"China Jiang's scoring average is 25.1 points per game, which has risen to seventh in the league. His assists are also second only to Rajon Rondo with 7 assists. From the data point of view, China Jiang's NBA career in just one and a half months Completely played the data of an All-Star player, and it is an extremely good point guard data, but the really great point guard will usher in the peak after a few years in the league, such as the current Rajon Rondo and Westbrook. Maybe Jiang is just a data player, not a system player!"

These negative news are actually not too much, and Jiang Mu didn't take it too seriously.

But then the Knicks' away game against the Sacramento Kings on December 12 attracted countless people's attention.

Because the Kings point guard is Rajon Rondo.

Jiang Mu didn’t have any templates for the draft at the beginning, but Jiang Mu’s statistics in those few games in college were very similar to Rajon Rondo. .

In fact, most people don't think that the Knicks, who are still in the first place in the East at this time, will lose the third game in a row, and the opponent is the weak Kings with 8 wins and 15 losses.

It's just that people prefer to see the matchup between the top two players in the assist list.

Jiang Mu's scoring ability has been recognized by everyone, and the assist list can also show Jiang Mu's passing skills, and Jiang Mu's single defense ability is a nightmare for other defenders.

This time, Jiang Mu happened to meet Rondo, who was also excellent in defense.

The topic that TNT broke out before the game is more interesting:
"China Jiang VS Rajon Rondo may not be a collision of skills and talents, a comparison of single-defense capabilities of the back line, a comparison of two scoring abilities (China Jiang far exceeds Rajon), or a collision of passing skills. All of this points to one aspect - the duel of the NBA's top golfers!"

But things always backfired.

The process and results of the game were not exciting, which disappointed everyone, especially the highlights of TNT's explosion, which did not make people feel at all.

Even the duo of the TNT sky group felt bored when they saw it. The two tried their best to maintain TNT's hot spot as if to please, but in the end it was still useless.

O'Neal and Barkley once again reached a rare consensus, and they couldn't help but cite a very apt example at the end of the game:
For example, you went to the home of the beauty you have a crush on, and she told you that she was going to take a shower, and you took off your pants and lay on the bed waiting, but the goddess appeared at the door of the bedroom with a basin of washed dates.

But the data of Rondo and Cousins ​​​​are still very good.

DeMarcus Cousins: 32 points, 14 rebounds.

Rajon Rondo: 16 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists.

Anthony finally felt warmer and scored 24 points.

Jiang Mu scored 22 points, 12 assists and 3 rebounds, and clocked out for another three quarters!
So far, after Jiang Mu has fully adapted to the NBA game, he finds that sometimes the things he worries about are not so terrible, perhaps because Jiang Mu's two ability values ​​of three-point shooting and speed have reached the top level of the league.

Many people finally discovered a very interesting thing. When someone brought up this discovery, many people suddenly felt that Jiang Mu seemed really scary.

Before some things are said, others will never feel it. When someone speaks out and becomes more and more miraculous, everyone seems to recognize this established fact in their hearts.

This discovery was first made by O'Neill.

Except for Jiang Mu's 34-point quadruple-double in his NBA debut, the rest of his high scores seem to have been achieved against strong teams.

On November 11, he scored 2 points against the Spurs.

On November 11, he scored 4 points against the Cavaliers.

On November 11, he scored 13 points against the Cavaliers.

On November 11, he scored 21 points against the Rockets.

On November 11, he scored 23 points against the Heat.

On November 11, he scored 29 points against the Rockets.

Most of the low-scoring games are against weak teams. Representative ones are:
On November 11, he scored 6 points against the Bucks.

On November 11, he scored 8 points against the Lakers.

On November 11, he scored 17 points against the Hornets.

On November 12, he scored 5 points against the Bucks.

This does not count the few games in which he scored 20 points against Daigo and other teams.

O'Neal was very excited about his discovery, and he brought it up during the game commentary of the Trail Blazers' away game against the Suns on December 12.

At that time, Devin Booker played very well, and his matchup with Lillard was very exciting. O'Neal and Barkley naturally brought the topic to Jiang Mu.

"I think everyone has overlooked one thing. China Jiang is stronger than his current statistics show. He is far from a player who can get 25+10 statistics in a rookie season."

"Look at those games of China Jiang. If you analyze it deeply, you seem to be able to find an extremely shocking result. It seems that he is always not so keen on scoring when the team's opponent is not strong, but facing a strong team. When the Knicks were struggling, especially when the Knicks were struggling, Jiang's ability to score at critical moments was unprecedented."

Barkley didn't believe it, but O'Neal showed the data, and Barkley was speechless again.

Once this topic was brought up, the coaches and players of all the teams found that O'Neal was definitely not groundless, and Qi Qi attributed Jiang Mu to a "sinister", "treacherous" and "cunning" player.

But these words are not derogatory, on the contrary, it shows that Jiang Mu's strength has been recognized by everyone.

At this point, many people can't help but think of Jiang Mu, who was in college last year.

That Jiang Mu who has been hiding his strength, that Jiang Mu who scores like a pocket but doesn't care about the score data.

When Jiang Mu, who plays in the style of Chris Paul and Stephen Curry, is increasingly regarded as the biggest opponent, people can't help but look forward to seeing whether it is the one O'Neal analyzed.

On December 12, the New York Knicks' game against the Portland Trail Blazers arrived as scheduled.
