After the game against the Rockets.

The 2005-06 season was halfway over before I knew it.

Regarding the performance of the New York Knicks in the middle of the season, the most common comments made by American basketball experts are two words:

surprise!

ESPN columnist Barbas said in his personal column that the New York Knicks are definitely the biggest dark horse in the league so far.

"This is something that no one expected... In our opinion, even with Darling, this team will be ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference at most, but in the end it was proved that Darling is Darling, he is

You can do things that others can’t do!”

The Knicks currently rank second in the Eastern Conference and fifth in the league.

Through data analysis, Barbas pointed out that this team is ranked in this position entirely because of Jiang Dalin!

"So far, Darling has averaged 45.6 points, 15.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.4 blocks per game... His role for the New York Knicks and his exaggerated efficiency value make me think that Darling is playing another game in his career.

A peak period!”

It's just that compared to other players, who first improve their statistics and then pursue honors, Darling first gets all the honors and then starts to improve his statistics...

All right!

Actually, Jiang Dalin's statistics at the beginning of his time with the Wizards were actually scary enough!

"Another point is enough to illustrate that the current New York Knicks are relying on Darling..."

When the New York Knicks trail by more than 10 points, the ball is basically in Jiang Dalin's hands!

In addition, the New York Knicks have another change...

That is to start shooting a lot of three-pointers!

"There is no doubt that in today's league, everyone has seen the importance of three-pointers. But the Knicks are different in their choice of three-pointers. They often choose to use them immediately when they cannot break through.

Three-pointers..."

This naturally took advantage of Jiang Dalin's unparalleled rebounding ability.

All in all, it was a great compliment.

…

In late January, the New York Knicks' winning streak continued.

On the 21st, after defeating the Hornets at home...

Currently in the Eastern Conference, the New York Knicks have become the leader.

Speaking of which, this game was the first time Jiang Dalin faced "58" in his career.

Chris Paul played in the NCAA for two years before coming to the NBA, and he is already very mature mentally.

As soon as he debuted, he averaged 16.1 points, 7.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

It can be called the strongest 183 since Allen Iverson!

When Marbury faced him, he was punished at first.

He was robbed by the latter twice in a row, and he no longer dared to show off his dribbling skills in front of "Ah Pao".

But later, Jiang Dalin immediately sought justice for Marbury.

Three consecutive hats made the kid speechless.

At the end of the game, Marbury beat Chris Paul with 14 assists.

What is the "responsibility of position one"!

Jiang Dalin really wanted to tell him, the kid you are talking to now, even though he is not tall, he is the 5th "Assist King"!

Unexpectedly, Chris Paul really let Marbury scare him.

On the 22nd, the New York Knicks, who had won consecutive games, went to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks.

Joe John has proven with actual performance that he is worthy of the maximum salary offered by the Eagles.

He averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game.

In addition to him, Josh Smith has also begun to show his potential. His excellent physical fitness has made him a new-generation striker that everyone in the league is very optimistic about.

In this game, he also made a shot chase that impressed everyone.

In Jiang Dalin's opinion, this guy is a typical example of someone who wastes his talent.

Not that there's anything wrong with this guy's attitude...

His attitude is pretty good, but his real problem lies in...

He loves shooting!

I don’t know if every “dunk king” wants to prove that his shooting is actually very good.

Anyway, Josh Smith’s obsession with shooting is simply...

Appalling level.

As long as it's related to talent, he doesn't want to use it on the offensive end!

If he is willing, he can rely on his own body to play and become a "second-generation LeBron", which is not a big problem.

On the 25th, after two days of rest, the New York Knicks went to Detroit to face the Pistons.

Due to Jiang Dalin's intrusion, there has been no sign of the Pistons' rise this season.

But Milicic was a blessing in disguise.

In the 2003-04 season, he averaged 11.3 points, 3.5 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game.

It can be seen from his data that he is a typical European insider player.

He plus Da Ben...

In addition, coupled with Jamal Nelson, who was selected in 2004, the Pistons really led the Pistons to rise step by step and climbed to the fourth position in the Eastern Conference.

With this ranking, the two teams are likely to meet in the playoffs.

So both sides take this game very seriously.

Tonight, both teams entered the state very quickly. After the start, they kept scoring goals. The two teams took the lead alternately, and there were consecutive ties on the field.

16 to 16 tie.

The Knicks started to show strength.

First, Marbury hit a three-pointer, and then he broke through the basket and hit a three-pointer. He scored 6 points by himself!

This explosion made people vaguely see the shadow of his peak.

All I can say is...

Everyone who has used Nelson Jr.'s defense says it is good.

With his performance, the Knicks led 25-20 with 2 minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter.

At this time Marbury returned to the court.

The boss is sitting with a "I'm really too strong" look on his face.

Right!

This is what you call a rookie!

Just the one in New Orleans, can that be called a rookie?

Which rookie can steal consecutive steals like him?

Don’t old-timers have any respect for face?

Nelson Jr. immediately responded with a three-pointer after Marbury came off the court.

When he was originally with the Magic, he made a name for himself by relying on his sudden shooting ability, and even made the All-Star bench in 2009. Unfortunately, he was gone as soon as he started.

An injury coupled with a finals game that made him want to fall into coma several times, finally...

Not very fast.

This is also what many players in the league have in common.

They came, but soon disappeared again.

However, they only scored this one three-pointer, and the Knicks ended the first quarter with a 4-point lead, 30-26.

Looking at the entire situation.

The Pistons have overall strength, which is pretty good, but they are a team that is stronger inside.

And this kind of team is exactly the team the Knicks are least afraid of.

As for the reason...

Because they have Jiang Dalin!

What Ben is most afraid of is Jiang Dalin.

As for Milicic, the arrogance he had when they first met two years ago is completely gone now, because Jiang Dalin never forgets to teach him well when they meet again in the past two years.

If it weren't for the Pistons' strong outside line, I'm afraid this game would have been over!

The Knicks' offensive continued unabated in the second quarter. Marbury was in really good shape tonight!

Just after he came on the court, he hit a three-pointer!

They led by 10 points, 39-29.

Milicic seized the opportunity of mismatch with David Lee and stopped the bleeding with two free throws.

But after Marbury took the shot, his ability to attract double teams became stronger, and then assisted Ariza to complete a three-pointer!

Ariza has been in the starting lineup for some time.

And what Jiang Dalin usually lets him practice the most is three-pointers. This guy has a good foundation.

Now I’m practicing and I’m obviously in good shape!

Each scored a three-pointer, and the Knicks continued to expand their advantage.

Milicic found David Lee again and hit 3 points to temporarily stop the bleeding. After that, the two teams scored alternately, and the Knicks firmly maintained a double-digit advantage.

Wilkens called a timeout, and David Lee looked annoyed.

Being targeted like this and beaten repeatedly made him anxious again.

Jiang Dalin patted his shoulder.

I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious now.

The Pistons' bench performed well, scoring 4 points with consecutive free throws, and then hitting a three-pointer. They led the team to a 9-0 counterattack, and the Pistons chased 56-63 at 1 minute and 10 seconds before halftime.

This was something the Knicks didn't expect.

As long as Crawford is not in good condition tonight, he will not be able to provide an effective counterattack.

However, Marbury was really amazing tonight. He actually stepped forward again and rushed into the paint to draw a foul.

Ben Wallace stretched out his hand in annoyance.

Do you think he is afraid of Marbury's breakthrough?

No!

What he is afraid of...

It's Jiang Dalin!

Instead of letting Marbury find space and ask Jiang Dalin for the ball, it would be better to foul directly and let him take a free throw!

Um……

Yes!

In Ben Wallace's eyes, even if Marbury is allowed to take a free throw, it is safer than letting Jiang Dalin catch the ball.

One is that there is still hope, the other is that there is definitely no hope.

Jiang Dalin has always been assisting in this game, but this time...

But he still scored consecutively and his shooting percentage was as high as 80%!

How can we fight under such circumstances?

Seeing this, Marbury also played more and more courageously. At halftime, the Knicks led 68-58 by 10 points.

Marbury scored 20 points alone.

This is the first time Jiang Dalin has seen Marbury score more than him in the half since he came to the New York Knicks.

He only had 18 points in the first half, which was 2 points less than him.

Jiang Dalin really didn't attack much in this game. Otherwise, how could he only have 3 free throws...

In addition to him, Ariza scored 6 points and two three-pointers for the Knicks in the first half, which was also a new half-time scoring high in his career.

After adapting, the "Rattlesnake" who later became the Lakers began to show his fangs.

Wilkens praised him twice because his performance tonight was something even Wilkens didn't expect!

Nelson Jr.'s layup opened the third quarter.

It's just that Marbury continued to explode here, scoring 5 points in a row and leading the team to a 7-0 spurt. The Knicks led by 15 points.

At the critical moment, the Pistons stood up...

Milicic again!

David Lee: I’m so horny!

Just bullying the newcomers, right?

A tug of war ensued between the two sides.

The score increased alternately. Milicic showed off a dunk. He was feeling proud when he suddenly felt a strong gaze next to him and turned his head to glance at Jiang Dalin.

Oops, oops!

Jiang Dalin was gearing up, and everyone saw that this was the one who dunked first!

Don't say I bully you!

As he spoke, there was a two-handed dunk under the basket.

There was a low roar at home in Detroit.

What scene have they never seen before...

Cross it out!

They have never seen this scene before!

The Pistons trailed 76-87 with 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the third quarter.

Jiang Dalin was full of firepower in the following time and showed his own sense of presence. In this game, because Marbury had good touch, he didn't do much.

Therefore, the Knicks have been leading by double digits, but have been unable to directly widen the point difference.

But as Jiang Dalin started to exert his strength, the point difference widened smoothly.

For the Pistons, because the inside line has not improved, once the outside line is anxious and misses the shot, the point difference will suddenly widen.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led 97-80.

The difference is almost 20 points.

This is also the reason.

Wilkens did not let Jiang Dalin play at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, the Pistons burst out with the hard work of young people. Milicic "suddenly" regained his feeling and led the team to flourish. They launched a 9-2 counterattack.

The defense of both sides suddenly returned to about 12 points.

At this time, there are still more than 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, almost 10 minutes. If we continue to play like this, I am afraid that this game will soon turn into a tense game!

What's more important is that after finally suppressing their morale, if they can continue to overtake the score at this time, their morale will rise.

Then...

It’s difficult!

When Jiang Dalin heard that it was difficult to do, he stood up immediately.

Then don’t do it!

Wilkens called a timeout at this time.

After the Knicks timed out, Marbury hit a jumper, Ariza hit another three-pointer, and the Pistons' narrow gap suddenly widened again.

However, the Pistons really showed their resilience, and they continued to maintain their motivation and work hard to chase points.

With 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the confrontation between the two sides reached its most anxious moment.

First, Milicic scored a successful 3-pointer!

David Lee: Okay, I will just be the backdrop today.

Then Nelson Jr. hit another three-pointer from the outside.

Needless to say, after the league reform, the activity of three-point shooting throughout the league has really increased a lot.

Relying on their performance, the Pistons never allowed the point difference to exceed 20 points.

But as time came to the last minute...

No matter how hard the Pistons try, it's of no use.

The New York Knicks were not in a hurry and just spent their time slowly. In the end, the Knicks won 121-104.

The Knicks' Jiang Dalin scored 35 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, Marbury scored 30 points and 7 assists, and Ariza scored 12 points, which is a new high in his career.

Milicic of the Pistons scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. The overall data is not very different from his usual average of 19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game. The only difference is in the assists. In this game, he was really good.

There is no chance to organize an attack!

Ben's final statistics were 4 points and 3 rebounds.

For Ben Wallace, there is no need to look at his scoring performance.

Even if he gets 2 points, it's still New Year's Eve.

What he needs to focus on most is his rebounding numbers.

3...

This is so out of line with his usual behavior.

This shows how badly he was suppressed by Jiang Dalin.
