Both belong to the Eastern Conference. So far, the Knicks and the Heat have played against each other twice, with one win and one loss respectively. The odds of meeting him are too great.
Therefore, the fans of the two parties are almost like enemies on the Internet. Whenever they meet, they are basically full of gunpowder.
However, Knicks fans are slightly better now. Lian Dao's fan base in China is really scary. Many domestic fans over the wall and came to some American websites to chat with Heat fans.
If you see English letters appearing in some short sentences on the extranet and feel like Hanyu Pinyin, please don't be confused, it is Hanyu Pinyin.
These may be some "views" expressed by some domestic friends who are not particularly good at English, but this kind of view is not only incomprehensible to Americans, but also difficult for domestic people to read.
"I know that Sickle, LeBron, and Dwayne have been arguing about the best player of the month recently. I don't know what others think. I support Sickle. Many people say that Sickle's outstanding statistics are based on brushing out."
"We can look at the Knicks' games in December. Sickle scored more than 70 points in two games. They scored 71 points against the Timberwolves and 74 points against the Thunder."
"If you say that the Knicks were stats against the Timberwolves, then you must have not watched the game, and at the same time, you are insulting the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves were in the lead until the last three minutes of the game. Yes. Sickle saved the Knicks who were on the verge of failure, and it can be said that he was the Knicks' God of War in that game!"
"During Amare's injury, it was Sickle who led the Knicks to beat the Thunder, Bulls, and Heat successively. I don't think there is any problem with him getting the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference. The data performance is indeed even better!"
Charles Barkley also expressed his position in tnt's "nba insider".
This time even Kenny Smith, who often contradicted Barkley, strongly supported Barkley's view.
Of course, there was support for this kind of discussion, but there was opposition. Mark Haskell, a team reporter for the Miami Heat, publicly expressed it on Twitter.
"Sickle took away the best player of the month that should belong to LeBron alone. The selection of MVP should always be the player with the best statistics in the team with the best record. This time the league violated this principle. I think this selection There is a big problem with the mechanism!"
As soon as his news came out, it aroused widespread attention and discussion, and Stern also learned of the news.
Stern doesn't care about the discussion of fans and the media, but as a team reporter for the Heat, he almost pointed at Stern's nose and said "unfair" when he made such remarks, which also made Stern very angry.
How other people discuss Stern can be ignored. On the contrary, he is also happy to discuss with fans and the media. After all, this can also expand the influence of the NBA and bring huge traffic to the NBA.
But Mark Haskell himself is too representative, and his speech can easily be understood as: The Heat are openly questioning the rules and fairness of the league!
Subsequently, Stern had a "friendly" phone conversation with the owner of the Heat.
Some things can be said, but there is no need to tear the skin, Mark Haskell is the equivalent of tearing the skin.
However, the Heat later stated that Mark Haskell's speech only represented the individual, not the Heat.
After that, the Heat's team reporter also changed to a newcomer.
Although there are still netizens discussing this matter on the Internet, the popularity is gradually decreasing. With the continuous development of the Internet today, people rarely pay too much interest and attention to an event that has already happened.
With the development of Internet information, endless entertainment and gossip news will continue to tease the freshness of netizens.
Compared with what has already happened, people are more likely to be interested in things they don't know!
So far, the Knicks have played 32 games, and their current record is 29 wins and 3 losses, still firmly occupying the first place in the league's record.
At the end of the two-month competition, the record rankings of other teams in the East and West have also undergone great changes.
First up is the Eastern standings —
1. The New York Knicks are 29-3.
2. The Miami Heat are 25-9.
3. Boston Celtics 24-7
4. The Chicago Bulls are 21-10.
6. The Atlanta Hawks are 21-14.
7. The Indiana Pacers are 14-17.
8. The Philadelphia 76ers are 13-20.
As the cooperation of the Heat's Big Three continues to become tacit, their record has improved very rapidly, but the Boston Celtics have some problems.
After Shaquille O'Neal returned from injury, their head star Garnett was accidentally injured in the game against the Pistons. According to the news released by the Celtics, Garnett's injury is not serious, but he will still be absent for two weeks. After the left and right games, it is time to really test the Celtics' record.
It is worth mentioning that the Chicago Bulls have a very good record recently. They also just won 4 consecutive victories, and the attendance rate of the United Center this year basically reached 99.5%. United Center fan attendance ranks first in the league so far.
The Knicks' attendance rate exceeded 100%, but the number of spectators at Madison Square Garden still lost to the United Center.
The reason is that Madison Square Garden is not as big as the United Center. As a basketball stadium, Madison Square Garden can only accommodate 19,763 fans to watch the game.
But before the start of this season, James Dolan simply modified the arena, added some seats, and expanded the capacity to 20,000 people, but even so, many fans complained that the Knicks tickets were A vote is hard to come by.
Some fans even sent emails to the Knicks management to make suggestions, saying that the Madison Square Garden should be redecorated and expanded during the off-season!
Not to mention, James Dolan really has this idea, he is also very envious of the United Center Arena in Chicago!
The United Center arena can accommodate 21,879 spectators, and Rose's arrival has brought the arena's attendance rate to 98%, and this season it has reached 99.5%. The average number of spectators per home game is 21,791. Number one in the league!
In fact, there is one other team besides the Knicks that had 100% attendance last season, and that is the Cavaliers' credit arena.
Their home regular season attendance last season reached 843,042 ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ an average of 20,562 people per game, and this is the maximum capacity of the credit arena.
A small ball market can achieve 100% attendance, and James' influence can be seen from this point.
It's a pity that with James' departure, the attendance rate of the Cavaliers' credit arena has also declined rapidly.
With James coming to Miami, the average number of seats at the American Airlines Center has reached 19,778, which has exceeded the maximum number of seats at the American Airlines Center of 19,600.
Last season, the average attendance at their home court was only 17,730, and the attendance rate was only 90%. This season, with the arrival of James and Bosh, their attendance rate has exceeded 100%.
It can also be seen from the team's attendance rate that it was a correct decision for the Heat to sign James and Bosh in the summer!
This is why superstars are the targets of major teams, because they can really stimulate a city's football market and bring huge attention to this city!
After the battle in December, the rankings in the West have also undergone great changes.
Western Ranking—
1. The San Antonio Spurs are 28-4.
2. The Dallas Mavericks are 24-7.
3. The Los Angeles Lakers are 23-10.
4. The Oklahoma City Thunder are 23-11.
5. The Utah Jazz are 22-11.
6. The New Orleans Hornets are 19-14.
7. The Denver Nuggets are 18-13.
8. Portland Trail Blazers 17 wins and 16 losses.
In the Western Division, the Los Angeles Lakers, as the defending champions, are not as aggressive and strong as last season. Their record this season has been unstable, which also makes many Lakers fans feel anxious.
