【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
Jeremy Lin knew that he had missed the opportunity before, so he nodded seriously.
On the defensive end, Jeremy Lin's body is still slightly thinner than Holiday.
After several confrontations by Holiday, a chance appeared and he scored a mid-range shot.
Afterwards, Lian Dao still attracted double-teams, and then handed the ball to Jeremy Lin. This time, Jeremy Lin did not hesitate, and made an outside shot, but missed.
"That's how you do it. Don't worry if you can't make a shot. If you can't make a shot, you can practice more after the game. If you don't dare to shoot, you are a softie. And I will not pass the ball to a softie!"
Lian Dao patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder.
Lian Dao's words gave Jeremy Lin confidence. In the subsequent defense, although he would still lose his position, every time he lost his position, he would grit his teeth and bite again.
Even Holiday, the champion point guard, is satisfied with Jeremy Lin's defensive attitude.
Of course, this does not mean that Jeremy Lin's defense can restrain Holiday. Even Kidd and Paul dare not say that they can completely restrain Holiday, let alone Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin also became more confident on the offensive end. Lian Dao did not attack, but chose to hand over the offensive power to Jeremy Lin. Most of him did some auxiliary work such as pick-and-roll and support.
Although the substitute lineup still lost the game in the end, Jeremy Lin's performance was remarkable.
And D'Antoni, who was watching the team's training match from the second floor, was also very satisfied with Jeremy Lin's performance, and at the same time admired Lian Dao's vision.
Although talking about the 15-man roster, it's okay to waste one, but this is the NBA, and every spot is extremely precious, so it's best not to waste it.
…
In December, there were a total of four games, three of which were road trips to the Western Conference, one of which was a back-to-back away game. The Knicks achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.
Lian Dao once again averaged 36.2 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists per game, almost crazy data.
Looking at Lian Dao's data in December, everyone felt that Lian Dao was going in the direction of three consecutive scoring champions and two league MVPs.
With his outstanding performance, Lian Dao was undoubtedly elected as the best player in the first week of this season.
However, being the best of the week, Lian Dao has nothing to be happy about, because the Knicks did not win easily in these few games. When they played against the Lakers, Lian Dao scored 37 points and lost in the end.
Just like he declared war on Lian Dao before, Kobe defeated the Knicks at the Staples Center and avenged Lian Dao's previous showing off of winning the championship.
For Kobe's narrow-mindedness, Lian Dao could only smile wryly.
The reason why the Knicks are playing a bit difficult is not that the strength of the Knicks has regressed, but because the schedule of this season is really a bit **** up. In the first four games, the Knicks have injured two players. This has to be Said it was bad news.
Moreover, due to the long off-season and the beginning of the season, the state of some players has also experienced ups and downs.
Apart from Lian Dao and Stoudemire, some Knicks players haven't fully found their game status yet.
The first game was because of Lian Dao's high desire to attack, and the next few games were because he had to score high points.

However, in the few games that have just started, there is an underrated team in the Eastern Conference, which has shown great momentum since the start of the game.
Indiana Pacers!
This season, the Pacers did not make a big move on the lineup. In the free market, so far, the relatively important player they have signed is only David West.
However, so far this season, the Pacers are undefeated.
All this stems from the improvement of the strength of the Pacers' internal players.
This season, since the start of the game, the Pacers have played a completely new performance.
In the East, apart from the Miami Heat, the Pacers are the only team that has not lost so far.
In particular, Paul George, the player they selected with the tenth pick in the first round last season, has also begun to realize his talent this season.
Last season, Paul George played 61 games, and his attendance rate was not very high. His average of 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Compared with last year's No. 1 pick John Wall, Paul George's performance last season seems to confirm his draft pick.
But this year, Paul George, who is completely settled in the starting lineup, showed his great progress in the first few games.
Especially in the Pacers' five-game winning streak since the start of the game, Paul George's plus-minus value is as high as +40, and the plus-minus average is +8.
The Pacers became the biggest dark horse in the East in one fell swoop, and Paul George became even more famous in the league.
On January 4, the expected matchup appeared.
The Heat played against the Pacers at home, and the two teams that have maintained a complete victory since the start of the Eastern Conference meet!
At the same time, everyone wants to see whether the rising star Paul George can still maintain an excellent state in the matchup with the contemporary "king" Wade.
Unfortunately, Wade did not play in this game, but sat on the sidelines in a suit.
Wade rests in rotation, and the tight schedule is a test for all teams. Some teams have to increase the rotation to ensure the health of the team.
Just when some fans lamented that they could not see the wonderful matchup in the second position.
In this high-profile matchup, James completely released his offense, scoring 33 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists in a single game. In the absence of Wade, he led the Heat to a strong 118:83 victory over the Pacers.
The Pacers, who are also a winning team, are more like mayflies shaking a tree in front of the Heat.
Paul George, who had a wonderful performance before, only scored 4 points and 4 rebounds in this game. The core of the team, Danny Granger, faced James' defense and only scored 3 points.
It can be said that James blasted the Pacers' 2 and 3 positions in one fell swoop.
The strong performance of the Heat has allowed them to win 7 consecutive victories since the start of the game.
Compared with the Knicks, it seems that the Heat are more like the defending champions!
In fact, the Knicks' performance is not bad. So far, they have a record of 6 wins and 2 losses. However, as the defending champion, many fans always feel that the performance of the Knicks is worse than that of the Heat.

…
The Knicks' next game is Jan. 9, at home against the Charlotte Bobcats.
They have to win this game, not because the Bobcats are very strong, but when they played against the Charlotte Bobcats before, they had a rest.
Then the Knicks lost back to back to the Bobcats, fighting back to back, the Knicks overall state is not very good.
In fact, the strength of the Bobcats this season ranked last in the Eastern Conference.
In the eight games so far, except for the Bobcats' upset victory over the Knicks before Lian Dao took a break, the other seven games all ended in failure.
It stands to reason that even if it is a cheap rice rotation, it is not a problem to abuse the Bobcats with the strength of the Knicks, but there is a strange thing in the NBA.
That is, every season, there are always one or two big teams. Due to various reasons, they upset the championship team~www.mtlnovel.com~ and unfortunately, this season is the Knicks.
Last season, in the first 28 games of the Bobcats, Larry Brown led the team to a record of 9 wins and 19 losses, which made Joe very dissatisfied.
Therefore, head coach Larry Brown was fired in a fit of anger, and then replaced by former Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas.
At the same time, the team sent away Gerald Wallace and completely announced the rebuilding.
However, Paul Silas's coaching level is really not very good, and Boss Joe just regards him as a temporary head coach.
And history has also proved that Paul Silas is embarrassing as a head coach.
But as the head coach of the team during the bad period, Paul Silas is still very competent. After all, not every coach can lead the team to a record of 7 wins and 59 losses in the season.
The warm-up before the game is over, and the scene enters the opening ceremony.
The visiting team arrives.
Kemba Walker, Gerard Henderson, Corey Maggette, DJ White, Boris Diaw.
Looking at the lineup of the Bobcats, there is no All-Star player. Even Lian Dao couldn't help thinking, why did the Knicks lose to them before?
The Knicks' starting players are still the same as before, Holiday, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Stoudemire, and Cousins.
The game between the two teams is officially started.
On the jump ball, Cousins easily flicked the ball over DJ White's head into the backcourt.
Lian Dao received the ball from a high position, and defending him was the fierce-looking Corey Maggette, with muscular body and shiny bald head, just like the Shaolin monk with the indestructible body in martial arts novels.
