I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 169 The Knicks' Problem

2016 years.

On January 1, the Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls 1:108 away.

Derrick Rose was injured again and missed the game. Although the Windy City Rose has begun to go down the road at this time, he can still average 17 points per game.

The team's current scoring leader is Jimmy Butler. Today's Butler is not as hard as he was later, but he has shown some edge.

Especially his unpretentious playing style and great role on the defensive end.

Anthony scored only 16 points under Butler's defense, but made 4 more turnovers.

Fortunately, Jiang Mu took the game away with a wave in the third quarter.

Butler scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Jiang Mu scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.

The Knicks, who lost the last game against the Hawks, ushered in a chance for revenge.

On January 1, the Knicks successfully revenged at home with 3:111.

Millsap scored the highest score of the Eagles in the game, but only 19 points.

Schroeder was blown out by Jiang Mu again, scored 5 points again and made 3 turnovers.

This time, Schroeder was much quieter before and after the game.

Jiang Mu scored 25 points and 13 assists.

Anthony felt warmer and scored 28 points.

On January 1, the Knicks challenged the Eagles again in an away game. Both sides held their breath in this game, and the Eagles fought until the last moment.

In the end, relying on Jiang Mu's three-pointer to tie the score at the last moment, the two sides entered overtime.

Anthony completed the lore in overtime, and the Knicks won again with 107:105.

The best player in the game, Anthony, scored a season-high 38 points.

Jiang Mu also scored 31 points and sent 12 assists.

On January 1, the Knicks challenged the Heat back to back and won again with 6:98.

Wade scored 28 points, Bosh had 16 points.

Jiang Mu was taken care of by the audience and only scored 19 points.

Anthony scored 25 points.

On January 1, the Knicks, who played away again, failed to take away the victory from San Antonio. With Leonard's key mid-range shot at the last moment, the Spurs defended their home court 8:100.

Jiang Mu scored 24 points and 9 assists.

Anthony had 23 points.

Leonard had 23 points and 10 rebounds.

The results of the second round of voting for the NBA All-Star Game were announced on January 1. This time was slightly different from the time originally set. Jiang Mu surpassed James' 9 votes with 89 votes, and was successfully elected as the East's top ticket.

The king of Western Conference votes is undoubtedly Kobe Bryant, who also became the total vote king of this All-Star with 99 votes.

Many people focused on the announcement of the All-Star starting on January 1.

On January 1, the Knicks once again ushered in the challenge of Antetokounmpo's Bucks. Under the strength gap, the Bucks lost 10:88.

Antetokounmpo did not perform well in the game and only scored 8 points. Jiang Mu was a little surprised that the media did not criticize Antetokounmpo after the game. Looking back, he immediately figured it out.

This is Antetokounmpo's third season in the NBA. In the first season, he averaged only 6.8 points per game. This season's rise to 16.9 points is already very rare.

Not to mention a few years later, if Antetokounmpo scores 8 points in a game next year, the criticism will probably be overwhelming.

Jiang Mu only scored 14 points and sent out 10 assists.Won't

Anthony has been performing well recently, scoring 27 points again.

On January 1, Jiang Mu, who had previously said that he would avenge all victories over the Knicks, ushered in an explosion. The Knicks, who played at home, completed their revenge against the Boston Celtics with 12:120.

This game was more difficult than imagined. Jiang Mu scored 41 points, 15 assists, 7 rebounds, and 4 steals in the game. In addition, Anthony's performance of 30 points and 12 rebounds made it difficult to win at home.

Thomas Jr., who is the strongest on the surface with 175 points, also scored 34 points and performed extremely well.

But after this game, Anthony's old toe injury recurred, and the team doctor sent news that he would be suspended for at least 10 days.

The Cavaliers seem to have a chance to regain the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers, who have won [-] consecutive victories, won another game, and their record with the Knicks is already the same.

On January 1, Jiang Mu scored 13 points and 32 assists in an away game against the Nets, but still failed to win the New York Derby.

Brook Lopez tormented his brother Robin Lopez in the paint, scored 29 points and 19 rebounds in the Dalian Double, and upset the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks fell to the second place in the Eastern Conference.

On January 1, the Knicks challenged the Memphis Grizzlies away and lost again.

The Knicks failed to win the two games after Anthony was injured, and Jiang Mu also realized more and more how difficult it is for a one-man team to move forward.

Jiang Mu tried his best, and the audience fought until the last moment.

Under the iron-blooded defense of the defensive team Grizzlies, the shooting rate is not high. Jiang Mu, who scored 13 points by relying on 37 free throws, seemed a little helpless.

Jiang Mu felt more and more difficult to lead the team alone. If it is better in other teams, the Knicks at this time are already at the top of the league in terms of record alone. It is really not easy to play to such a level.

Jiang Mu urgently needs to improve himself.

Fortunately, after the game, the paranoid system of the ball god was upgraded to LV9, which brought the upgrade of power and blocks from B- to B-level. Jiang Mu seemed to feel that he was more balanced.

Any slight improvement in ability is a result of the accumulation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes, and will play an inestimable role in the future.

Sure enough, the facts have also been verified.

On January 1, the Knicks played against the Philadelphia 18ers at home.

The 76ers rank last in the league this season. With a record of 5 wins and 37 losses, the 76ers came to Madison Square Garden as a guest. Everyone felt that the New York Knicks could avoid the second three-game losing streak this season, but No one thought the process would be so difficult.

Until the last minute of the game, relying on Jiang Mu's key blocks and rebounds against Okafor, the Knicks won 1:119 with difficulty.

Jiang Mu, who won the best player again with 35 points and 14 assists in the whole game, said to reporters: "We are waiting for Carmelo to return!"

Jiang Mu felt tired, and his heart became more urgent to improve his strength.

The LV10 of Ball God's Paranoid System will have a "position extension" change. Jiang Mu knows very well that the position extension can only allow him to extend to the shooting guard, and at most it can extend to the small forward.

In other words, Jiang Mu's scoring ability may become stronger.

But relying on pure output to win is too tiring!

Jiang Mu could easily feel the flaws in the lineup that the Knicks are currently facing.

Lopez is very qualified as the team's starting center, but the entire team has only one backup center. Amundson, who has no scoring ability, cannot support the depth of the Knicks' center bench.

The position of power forward is currently Porzingis. Although he has a good scoring ability, Porzingis, who is used to playing on the outside, can't guarantee the team's defensive ability inside, nor can he form an impact on other teams' inside.

Only Anthony and Lopez can play inside. Now that Anthony is injured, the Knicks have basically lost these games in the inside.

The inside is weak, the opponent's defense is expanding, and the outside opportunities are naturally bad. The Knicks' outside shooters were directly beaten out of their original shape.

Both Jiang Mu and Fisher could see it, so Jiang Mu's purpose of attacking the inside line again and again was to make the opponent shrink.

But apart from adding some free throws to Jiang Mu, the other effects were not good.
