Chapter 515: The away game started

In the first battle in March, the Knicks ran into trouble, and the visiting Trail Blazers were very strong.
Lillard feels good at the beginning of the game, but the Knicks still suppressed the opponent, but during the rotation, Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard hit consecutive three-pointers, which produced unexpected results and the Trail Blazers also took the lead.
Then Lillard opened Wushuang again, allowing the Blazers to take the lead in the first half.
In fact, apart from Lillard and a little accident, the Blazers did not perform well, and they did not lead much, but the Blazers’ performance continued very well.
Mai Krum broke out in the third quarter, helping the Blazers continue to maintain a single-digit lead.
During the period Leonard still suppressed the opponent's third position, but the Knicks' outside three-pointer was average, so they did not turn the score until the beginning of the end.
For coaches of other teams, this situation will definitely be worried, but Qi Li is very indifferent. The Blazers are very familiar with this dual-shot model. They are good at defense and offense. That's how it is.
There is no need to consider tactical execution. It is really a very easy way to coach. If the opponent is really unparalleled, it will be fine to lose a game. No rival in the East is so headstrong.
However, Lillard and Mai Klum have not yet faced the Knicks' ability to continuously explode.
Especially in the final quarter, the other party is also under pressure, after all, it is facing the alliance devil.
When the Blazers' efficiency began to decline in the final quarter and both sides were on the decisive lineup, the Knicks also allowed Leonard to increase the singles with the ball, but Curry and Clay were patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Then, the key ball has nothing to do with these three. Halfway through the last quarter, Ibaka hit a three-pointer, and this ball also successfully made the balance of victory begin to tilt.
After the Knicks took the lead, the Blazers were obviously a little confused.
But at the last moment, Lillard and McKrum each hit a three-pointer.
At the critical moment, Curry scored 5 points and sent a second pass to the inside to help the team maintain its advantage.
When the time reached the last few tens of seconds, Qi Li used a skill that hadn't been used for a while, and the Knicks won in one fell swoop.
Everyone who is close to the gap must be opened, no matter if there is too much lead over there, it is unnecessary.
On March 4, the Knicks came back to the first game back to back.
Butler was injured during the All-Star season, but at this time he was alive and well.
He has shown that he doesn't care about the All-Star posture, and in an interview he also said that he cares more about the team's performance.
It is conceivable that the fans will definitely not vote for him next year.
However, his strength can't improve the Celtics too much record, he belongs to the kind of all-star level, not weak or strong enough.
At the beginning of the game, Butler performed very hard and dared to fight against Leonard.
Leonard quickly became excited, all kinds of colors returned.
The results of the first quarter can also be seen that the two are still a bit different, Leonard in the final score abruptly overpowered Butler, the Knicks also lead in the score.
The opponent Thomas also played well, but the Knicks also have Curry and Clay.
During the rotation, the two sides were half-hearted, and there were players on the Celtics side.
But back to the main lineup, it is obvious that the Knicks offensively are more stable. Thomas Jr. is too obvious to be strong and weak, and it is difficult to block Curry's shots.
In the first half, the Knicks gained a strong lead, putting a lot of pressure on the Celtics.
The Celtics actually have a good record this season, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, but obviously they have greater ambitions. Both the management and the players want the team to be better.
However, their weakness is also obvious. The Knicks are stronger inside, and in the second half, this advantage becomes more obvious.
Well, the Knicks are stronger in five positions. As long as there are no surprises, they will accumulate advantages and become the fruit of victory.
There were no surprises in the second half. Although Thomas, Butler and Crowder performed well, they were all within the normal range. Curry, Klay and Leonard played normally on the Knicks' side.
In the end, the advantage became bigger and bigger, success became double digits, and the Celtics could only admit defeat.
There is no way, it cannot be team basketball or star basketball. They are not opponents.
Moreover, the Knicks are very good at dealing with disciplined teams, because they rarely have accidents.
The Knicks are playing the Pistons back to back. This time they won more easily, and it was easy to score inside and outside.
After the Pistons, Whiteside's habits are getting worse and worse. Although the rebounds and blocks are good, but the defensive consciousness is worse, so the Knicks often score easily inside.
Now the outside world has not compared the Knicks with the East teams, but is looking at the West. If the team with the best record in the West reaches the Finals, the Knicks will maintain home court advantage.
Because the Warriors are also fierce this season, the outside world will pay special attention to this.
The Warriors are still a little bit worse than the original record in history. After all, the players are different and the styles are different.
But they are also very strong. Maybe they really have a chance to enter the Finals. The premise is that they can pass the Lakers and the Thunder. The Lakers and the Thunder are a little bit worse, but the strength is definitely not bad. Harden is good and George is hard to compare with James, Durant this level of star.
In March, the Knicks also opened the longest road trip, five away from the West and one away from the East.
The first stop was the Nuggets. They also ran into trouble. The Nuggets started off in a good shape.
They are taking turns to show their power, and Vucevic is already good this season. Although it is difficult to help the team win the playoffs, it will occasionally break out and play well.
In the first half ~EbookFREE.me~ the Nuggets started with four scoring double figures, which is considered a strong offense.
The Knicks have a problem with the three-pointer, but Leonard and Antetokounmpo have a fierce impact.
After a fierce battle, the Nuggets did not lead too much, but they had no problems with their offense in the third quarter, and the Knicks could only deal with it patiently.
A strong team needs patience, defend well against opponents and don't fight indiscriminately.
As long as there is a problem with the opponent's offense, they are likely to seize the opportunity to return.
At the end of the quarter, the Knicks finally waited for the opportunity. First, Jeremy Lin scored 5 points in the rotation period. After the main players came on the court, the Knicks who won the lead began to turn away.
When the outside shooting rate was not enough, Leonard was very stable, Qi Li also left Antetokounmpo on the court, so that the Knicks have enough impact.
This decision also played a key role. Antetokounmpo hit a three-pointer that he was not very good at. This also changed the hearts of the Nuggets players and lost the ball at the last moment.
