Chapter 443
Poor Knicks, being targeted by Barrett just like that.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with the Knicks at all. The only thing that can be barely connected with Chris is that they are both in New York, that's all.

The Knicks are a special team. They are in the biggest market in the league, but they can't even recruit an All-Star player. The strange thing is that the fans here are still very sticky, and the team will never leave even if the team's record is bad.

The fans of the Knicks voted for the Nets in the same city because the home team did not have a player who could play an All-Star team.

The same city team reached a "reconciliation" at this moment, helping the city's only All-Star player.

Chris has been favored by two teams at the same time, and being able to rank third is already a very good result. After all, James and Wade are ahead of him. The fans of these two are not only in their home team city, nor the entire United States, but all over the world.

In this way, it seems reasonable for Barrett to vent his anger on the Knicks.

"Let me do the jump ball later." Barrett walked up to Standemire, who was warming up for the jump ball, and offered to change positions with him.

In all previous games, the Heat's fight for the ball was done by Standemeier. He has very rich experience in this area and rarely misses. Moreover, today's Knicks' center jumping ability is average.

However, Barrett took the initiative to go to the jump ball, and he looked full of confidence.

"Let him go." Wade said, "He has a fire in his heart and needs to vent."

Now that the captain had spoken, Steinmeier had no choice but to give up this opportunity to Barrett.

Although Barrett is a small forward, his height and weight are not comparable to that of a center forward, but when Barrett stands in the jumping circle, the opponent's center is still a little scared in his heart. He knows Barrett's strength too well.

The last time the two played against each other, Barrett was still wearing the Bulls jersey. That was the last game Barrett played on behalf of the Bulls. As a result, Barrett scored 51 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. The 51 minutes included a full 10 dunks, 6 of which were dunked on the head of the New York center, and Barrett's 3 blocks were also given to him.

In that game, the New York center could be said to have been completely blown to pieces. He played for 35 minutes and was dominated by Barrett for a full 35 minutes.

Since then, he has left an indelible shadow in his mind, not to mention standing opposite Barrett, even hearing this name makes his heart ache.

And now, Barrett is standing in front of him, and he will have a jump ball with him.

The New York center's expression was a little dull, and he didn't even dare to look directly at Barrett.

"Hey, if you're not concentrating, you won't be able to jump the ball." Seeing the other party's absent-minded look, Barrett kindly reminded him.

The other party frowned, and tried hard to concentrate his attention, but the more he wanted to concentrate, the more cranky his mind became. The scenes of being destroyed by Barrett in that game flashed in his mind one by one.

The referee threw the ball high into the air, and Barrett seized the opportunity to jump up quickly. However, Barrett was the only one who jumped up. The big center in New York stood still, unable to move, as if he had been immobilized.

With no opponent, Barrett danced alone.

He successfully won the right to attack for the first time. When Barrett landed, Mu Chenfeng immediately passed the ball back to him.

Mu Chenfeng is still sensible, he knows that this game belongs to Barrett, and it can only belong to him alone.

Barrett dribbled forward, and the rest of his teammates stepped forward to cover him, blocking New York's man-marking defense tightly. Barrett passed the defense with a stab, and as soon as he entered the free throw area, he kicked his feet hard together, his body rose from the ground, and blasted towards the basket.

The New York center stood under the basket, seeing Barrett getting closer and closer to the basket, but he didn't make any defensive moves. He also wanted to go to defend, but when he thought of the risk of being dunked, he decisively dismissed this idea and simply stood there and did nothing.

There was not even a defender in front of him, which made Barrett, who was planning to dunk with one hand, change his posture in the air and use two hands!

Two-handed dunks are much stronger than one-handed dunks.

boom! ! !
On the first goal of the opening game, Barrett bombed the basket with a two-handed dunk, which kicked off the prelude to the bloody Knicks.

The subsequent game completely became a stage for Barrett to perform alone. His teammates occasionally received passes and assists from him, but such cases were rare. Most of the game showed Barrett playing alone, and his teammates seldom supported him. At most, they would protect the rebounds.

At the end of the first quarter, the scores of the two sides did not stretch much. The Heat led by 28 points at 22:6. Barrett made 8 of 6 shots in a single quarter and scored 15 points, more than half of the team's points.

In the second quarter, Barrett's performance was still strong, but in the face of such a strong performance, the Knicks failed to respond accordingly. Barrett scored 20 points in a single quarter, leading the team to open the point difference to double digits.

With such a huge lead, Rondo planned to arrange for Barrett to take a break and let Mu Chenfeng lead the team to play for a while, but Barrett refused such a substitution adjustment and insisted on staying on the court.

"I want to play the whole game!" Barrett said coldly. Obviously, the two quarters of the game did not satisfy him, and his inner anger has not yet subsided.

"Is it necessary?" Wade asked. The team is now in the lead and has a great advantage. Barrett can rest off the court. It is not too late to wait until the opponent catches up, but Barrett insists on continuing to play.

Playing the full game means that Barrett has to play the whole game for 48 minutes without a second of rest time, which will bring a great test to a player's physical fitness.

However, judging from Barrett's performance on the field, there is no problem with his physical fitness.

After scoring 35 points in the first half, Barrett scored another 14 points in the third quarter, raising his scoring to 49 points, which is only the points he scored in the first three quarters, and the game still has one quarter to go.

In the fourth quarter, the physical fitness of both sides declined. The Knicks withdrew all the main players early and replaced them with substitute players.

"Why is he still playing?" The New York players looked at the scoreboard. The Heat had already led by 40 points. Even if the Heat couldn't score a point in the fourth quarter, the Knicks had little hope of coming back.

Before the game was over, everyone already knew the result.

However, Barrett still stayed on the court at this time.

In the last quarter, Barrett scored the lowest score in the four quarters, "only" scoring 13 points, and his total score also exceeded 60, which was fixed at 62 points.

Barrett, playing the full 48 minutes, broke his personal scoring record and led the team to a 50-point victory over the Knicks.
