After 9 consecutive wins, the team has lost 4 games in a row!
February 17, Beijing time, the NBA does not have an official NBA, at this time, we can discuss the next few games after the transfer window closes, at the trade deadline, Dallas performed the best, they traded Gafford and Washington for these two players, and the Mavericks at that time also had the highest defensive efficiency in the league, and before these two players came here, their defense was only ranked 19th in the league.
With the addition of two players, the Mavericks have also achieved a good result, their record is 3-0, with their own performance, they are only one win less than the Suns in fifth place in the East, and if they continue to maintain this momentum, they have a good chance of finishing in the top five of the playoffs. In fact, the Knicks didn't do too well before the deadline.
But recently, the Knicks have lost four games in a row and are arguably the best of all players. They are known as the strongest team in the East due to their ability to attack from the three-point line, and at the beginning of the new season, they were considered the most likely team to make the playoffs, but they acquired Anunoby in a swap.
After that, they traded Anunoby, Achiuwa, and Flynn for two young men with potential, Bamot and Quigley. Anunoby stood out in the Knicks' game, and he was very prominent in the one-on-one game, allowing the Knicks to form a tight defensive line during the game. When he first arrived, the Knicks had set a record of nine consecutive All-League wins, but then Randle and Randle were injured and the team's results began to decline, and by now, they have lost four games in a row.
They traded six major trades for another star player, Grimes, Fournier, Flynn, Assidiak, and two second-rounders, Box, Bojan, Bojan, which we are all familiar with, he is the best center in the NBA at the moment, he can break through any limit, and his three-point shooting skills are so good that he can almost match Klay.
Bojan is a true star player, averaging 19 points this season7 points 34 rebounds 24 assists 0787 blocks, 3 3-pointers are high, and he averages 3 three-pointers. If he goes to the Knicks, then there is no need to worry about any chemistry, and Bojan will not be fooled, he can be said to be a strengthened version of Grimes, who were full of talent last season, and everyone knows that they have great ambitions for the championship.
But things didn't go the way he thought, Leon Rose has shown his talent in recent years, but the Lakers' head coach Thibodeau is really limited, Thibodeau's reputation stimulated by the Bulls' reputation, Rose organized an "anti-James Army", which put Janeway under a lot of pressure in his heyday, and Thibodeau, who ended the Bulls of the II era pioneered by Jordan, also ended Rose's career.
Thibodeau's advantage as a head coach is that he can greatly improve the team's results, his team is also very good, plus his star players, Anunoby has been greatly used after Anunoby came, he has arranged more than 43 minutes of playing time for Anunoby, and not everyone can make him rely so much on the ball like Butler, which eventually led to Anunoby's injury.
Like Anunoby, Randle was affected a lot, Randle was hurt a lot, he lost the opportunity to play in the All-Star Game, and it may even be until next season, when Randle only played 35In 4 minutes, he was in 16th place, and Anunoby was on the pitch with only 35 minutes of playing time7 minutes, behind Tatum, in the eleventh place in the league.
Relatively speaking, Brunson's fitness is okay, and he has played an average of 35 minutes this season9 minutes, 9th in the league, an average of 27 per game6 points 38 rebounds 65 assists, because of Brunson's performance, the Knicks dared to come up with a good record to cover up their championship ambitions, but according to Thibodeau, I think it is still very difficult for the Knicks to win the championship, even if they have four core players and no real star player, they are likely to lose to the Green Army.
In Thibodeau's view, because in the fierce playoff game, the chance of injury is greater. Thibodeau, despite leading his team to the playoffs for one season, has yet to show what he has to lead this team to victory. If the Knicks lose this season, then maybe they need to change a good coach in the summer to improve their record.
Speaking of which, what do you think of the Knicks? Please leave a comment.
