Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 141 Battle with the First Generation Thunder Thunder Three Young Masters

On December 12, all the games in the first half of the NBA31-2009 season were played.

The Knicks have played 31 games. With the last wave of 7 consecutive victories, they achieved a good result of 23 wins and 8 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference!

East shock!The alliance is shocked!America is shocked!

其他东部前五，凯尔特人23胜7负排第一，骑士25胜8负排第三，魔术22胜8负排第四，老鹰21胜9负第五。

再之后，热火15胜14负，猛龙15胜17负，公牛12胜17负，分列6-8名。

The record in the Western Conference is not listed for the time being.

On January 1, the Knicks played an away game against the Eagles and won a victory 1:116, winning eight consecutive victories.

On January 1, the Knicks returned to their home court and beat the Pacers 3:135 in one go.

In this campaign, the Knicks scored 20 points, Lu Ming scored 25 points and 11 assists, Chandler scored 23 points, David Lee scored 22 points and rebounded 16 rebounds, Gallinari scored 22 points, two others scored in double figures, Duhon scored 15 points, and Harrington scored 12 points.

An atypical high-scoring game.

So far, the Knicks have won nine consecutive victories!
And this nine-game winning streak is actually the Knicks' longest winning streak in 15 years!
The last time the Knicks won 9 consecutive victories or more was in the 93-94 season. In that season, the Knicks won 15 consecutive victories. Even earlier, it was the 69-game winning streak in the 70-18 season, which is also the longest winning streak in team history.

The moment the game ended, the New Yorkers were boiling.

Knicks fans ran to the streets to celebrate their 9-game winning streak. When Lu Ming left the Madison Garden Arena, the fans chanted MVP for him.

With the Knicks rising, New York fans couldn't hide their inner joy.

NBA TV released the data since the Knicks won 9 consecutive victories, averaging 116.7 points per game, conceding 108.5 points per game, shooting 49.2% from the field and 39.8% from the three-point range!

The famous Lu Chuan Barkley updated his news to celebrate the Knicks' 9-game winning streak, yelled and celebrated wildly, and tweeted: The Knicks have won 9 consecutive victories!
Spike Lee tweeted: The Knicks have won 9 consecutive victories, ranking second in the East, New York basketball is back!
9连胜期间，陆鸣得益于62分的高得分，拿到了场均33分12助攻7篮板的数据！
On January 1th, the NBA officially announced the Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month for December.

In the West, Kobe of the Lakers averaged 31.3 points, 5.0 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game, and led the team to a record of 12 wins and 3 losses. He was elected the best player of the month.

Tyreke Evans of the Kings averaged 22.1 points, 37.9 minutes of playing time, 130 free throws and 167 free throws, ranking first among all rookies, and won the Rookie of the Month in the Western Conference.

In the East, except for Lu Ming, no one dared to win the best rookie of the month.

At the same time, Lu Ming, who had just won the best of the week in the Eastern Conference, played 12 games in December, led the team to 13 wins and 12 loss, and averaged 1 points, 31.2 assists, 10.2 rebounds, 6.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. James, who was 1.5+28+7, won the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference.

Basically no one questioned.

Just a 62-point scoring performance alone has almost booked the best of the month. What's more, what about a double-double performance averaging 30+10 per game?

But the Jamies are still unconvinced.

They feel that James, who led the team to 14 wins and 3 losses, made a greater contribution to the team.

Moreover, in addition to James' average of 28.6 points per game, only two of his teammates averaged 15 points per game, and one averaged 12 points per game, completely alone.

Unlike Lu Ming, the team also has David Lee who averages 20+10 points per game. Two players average 15 points per game and two players average 10 points per game. It looks like a dual-core team.

Single-core versus dual-core, naturally single-core has a greater influence.

However, Lu Mi is not a vegetarian. Although most of them are new to basketball, there are also experts in mental data.

Through data analysis, they found that in the games Lu Ming participated in, the statistics of all the teammates who were present at the same time as Lu Ming almost all increased.

James, on the other hand, failed to make his teammates better.

"Shit, it's clearly a group of pig teammates!" Someone became angry from embarrassment.

Naturally, James couldn't escape being interviewed by the reporter. When asked how he felt about being snatched by Lu Ming, the player of the month was very decent. "The best player of the month is rewarded by the league for a player's performance in a single month. Lu's performance is completely worthy of this honor."

I can't see any displeasure at all.

After all, he already has quite a lot of Yue Best.

After getting the best of the month, the team took a day off and had a party.

After that, the game continued.

After winning two more games at the beginning of the month, extending the team's winning streak to 9 games, on January 1 and January 7, they won again at home in New York and away in Houston, extending the winning streak to 1 games.

It seems that chasing 15 to 18 has become all the expectations of Knicks fans.

Even the brand with 81 points has been rarely seen in these few games.

In this extreme mood, the 27-8 Knicks flew to Goose City in the early morning of January 1 to challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder away.

At this time, the Thunder ranked fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 20 wins and 16 losses.

Among the Thunder's three young men, Kevin Durant averaged 31 points per game, Russell Westbrook averaged 16 points per game, and Jeff Green averaged 15 points per game.

This is a very talented and extremely young team.

The three juniors, Durant and Jeff Green, are both in their third season in the NBA, and Westbrook is only a second-year rookie.

As for Chubby Harden, one of the three young players, he played diligently as a substitute in the rookie season, averaging 9 points per game, and Ibaka, the same rookie, only averaged 6 points per game.

"This game is interesting. One is the second record in the league, one has a team that looks full of talent, and there are two players who have the appearance of scoring champions!" Season analysis, Kenny Smith of TNT said with a smile.

It is worth mentioning that, so far this season, four players in the league have averaged 30+ points per game. They are Kobe, Durant and Anthony in the West, and Lu Ming in the East.

James averaged 29.8 points per game, but unfortunately he didn't make it to 30.

"Yes, Lu Ming and Durant, these two people, I have a hunch that one day they will meet in the finals." Barkley said with a big mouth.

"Ah, it's a little far away, isn't it?" Kenny Smith didn't expect that far.

"Two explosive scoring players who seem to have no solution to attack. As long as the team builds a team around them, shouldn't it be the finals?" Barkley asked rhetorically.

Kenny Smith thought about it and felt that it seemed reasonable.

While they were doing their pre-match analysis, the two teams had already appeared and came to the field to pay tribute.

The Knicks lineup has not changed. Duhon is still playing point guard, Lu Ming is playing shooting guard, Gallinari small forward, David Lee power forward, and center Milicic.

The Thunder started with center Nenad Krstic, power forward Jeff Green, small forward Durant, shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha, and point guard Westbrook.

Among the three young masters, Jeff Green greeted Lu Ming. As for Durant, he glanced at Lu Ming and turned his head without saying a word.

Westbrook seemed to have something to say. He came to Lu Ming and asked in a low voice, "Lu, what do I think of you? You haven't been so active in grabbing rebounds in the last few games? You have to grab rebounds, even if you let your teammates block for you? If you grab a few more, you'll have a triple-double!"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment before asking, "Russell, how much are you averaging now?"

"It's only 16+8+6, it's a bit far behind." Westbrook looked resentful.

"Then you have to work harder." Lu Ming said.

Westbrook nodded, as if he had forgotten. He asked Lu Ming, but Lu Ming didn't answer directly.

At this time, Harden, who was sitting on the bench beside the court, looked at Lu Ming, who had become the absolute core of the team, with envy on his face.

A No. 8 show is actually not as good as a No. [-] show. It's really hard to hold back.

But there is no way, who let the three on the field, especially the forward whose height is full of uncertainty, are the core of the Thunder's vigorous training.

He is a chubby rookie with mediocre talent, how can he compete with others for the first place?
Harden looked sad.

However, one good thing is that in today's Thunder team, except for Durant who has unlimited shooting rights to use as a training aid, except for the three minors and the other two minors, the number of shots taken by everyone else is quite average.

Although he came off the bench, his number of shots was also fourth on the team, as if he was the sixth man.

But, can the sixth man have a chance to start the game?
Harden was at a loss. He remembered that his template was Manu Ginobili. He was an All-Star who could play as a starter, but was put on the bench to play as the sixth man.

Amidst Harden's mourning and bewilderment, the game began.

Milicic and Krstic jumped the ball, and the Thunder got the first possession.

Westbrook played point guard honestly. After halftime, after observing for a while, he hoisted the basketball to Durant, who was behind his back and wanted to stay.

Durant's main attack is the core tactic of coach Brooks.

"This guy is really only 2 meters?" Gallinari, who is 06 meters, suddenly found that standing in front of Durant, he did not have a height advantage.

This is not the first time he has expressed such doubts.

Durant hit the back twice, then turned around like a shooting guard, and added a little bit of a back.

However, fortunately for Durant at this time, the offensive end is not really unsolvable.

The first shot ended with an iron strike. David Lee judged the point of the rebound, grabbed a defensive rebound, and then made a long pass to Lu Ming who was about to go down.

Lu Ming received the ball at the top of the arc, squeezed to follow Westbrook who was coming up from the defense, changed hands under the basket for a layup, and scored 2 points for the Knicks.

"Pay attention to defense!" Coach Brooks shouted from the sidelines.

The Thunder attacked, and Durant, who failed his first back-up, received a pass from Westbrook to the basket this time, and a big ring with a wheel arm made a foul by Gallinari.

"Oh, no! I didn't foul, he hit it himself!" Gallinari argued with the referee.

But the referee kept his whistle in his mouth and completely ignored his complaints, as if he was threatening.

Don't dare to complain, beware of technical offenders!
When Durant caught up to the free throw line, he gave Lu Ming a cold look, full of provocation.

"Daroni, next time, if he hits you in this way again, remember to hit harder." Lu Ming walked over to calm Gallinari's emotions, and then said.

"Uh, good!" Gallinari looked at Lu Ming unexpectedly.

Lu Ming didn't explain anything.

He was actually thinking in his heart, since Artest was able to use an elbow to open Harden's Sharingan, he has since realized the profound meaning of guarding eyes.

Then why, can't you use a fierce foul to hit him with pain and bones, and then let Durant have subconscious fear when using the big ring?
After all, this is not the era when sweeping a mustache is a foul.

All kinds of elbow methods are still popular.

Anyway, as long as Lu Ming played with those NBA teams who have been around for many years, Lu Ming would come down every game without getting elbowed or leaving a little mark on his body, so he would be ashamed to say that he played.

Durant made two free throws to tie the score for the Thunder.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Du Hong took possession of the ball for half court, faced with Westbrook's entanglement, and handed the basketball to Lu Ming with a backhand.
