After the All-Star break, the Knicks continued to work together.

The Knicks have a good record.

This is something many people don't think of.

So during this All-Star Weekend, there were absolutely no trade rumors about this team. The biggest problem they have now is... trying to adjust their lineup.

They ended the rest of February with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

The Knicks will host the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 1st.

Jiang Dalin and James met for the second time this season.

Because both teams are in the Eastern Conference, they will meet again, but that will be in April, so...

According to outside media, this game may become the focus of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Both sides want to play this game well.

James is now ranked second in the mvp rankings. His record in leading the team this season is indeed very good. This has also allowed him to clear up some rumors.

After all, in the 2003 class, Wade and Anthony had already led the team to the playoffs. But he was blocked from the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

It's just a pity that even like this, he can only be ranked second in the regular season MVP rankings.

As for the first...

Yes, that's Jiang Dalin.

7pm

Madison Garden is full.

Fans like to watch such focused games.

Kim Kardashian also came to watch the game today.

The Knicks' current style of play favors quick counterattacks and outside shooting. Jiang Dalin's dominance in the interior ensures that they can shoot with confidence.

Of course, this is when the team has no problems and falls into a slight disadvantage, then it is time for Jiang Dalin to appear like Superman.

The Cavaliers' style of play favors positional offense and interior offense.

Use LeBron James to attack with the ball to drive the team.

This can be understood as a game played by LeBron James alone, and the others are... chess pieces on the chessboard, and there is no need to have any emotions.

But this is bound to have backlash.

especially in……

Once the peak period is over, it begins to decline.

The reason is also very simple, he has forgotten how to cooperate with the team.

Soon, the game started.

Knicks starting lineup: Marbury, Crawford, Ariza, David Lee, Jiang Dalin.

Dulin was injured at the end of February, which prevented him from playing in this game.

Crawford takes the starting position.

In fact, Crawford is very happy playing on the bench this season.

The reason is also very simple...

It is a dimensionality reduction attack.

He suddenly had to return to the starting lineup. Not only were his teammates worried about his performance, but he himself was also worried about whether he would hold the team back.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Eric Snow, Alexander Pavlovich, LeBron James, Drew Gooden, Big Z.

Larry Hughes, who joined the Cavaliers in the off-season last year, is considered one of the important signings.

But it turned out that he was injured after just 30 airport games.

The man who filled his position was Alexander.

international players.

He has a better shooting ability than Larry Hughes, but don't even think about it in other aspects...

He is a pure substitute defender.

In other words, this summer's signings will have some effect on LeBron James, but not much.

It can be seen that this season it was entirely LeBron James who led the team to its current position because of his own strength.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that many teams in the Eastern Conference are currently undergoing reconstruction!

Da Z dances with Jiang Dalin.

The referee's whistle blew, and as soon as Big Z lifted the ball, the jump ball was over.

Marbury carried the ball to the frontcourt, and his tooth ached when he saw Snow. What a defender like him hates to encounter most is a defender like Snow.

When the No. 1 player enters the league, he doesn't think about organization or scoring, he just thinks about defense.

What the hell are you...

Is it still possible?

But thinking about it again, it seems that their wages are provided by Marbury and his gang, and Marbury feels even more miserable.

The ball reached Jiang Dalin in the frontcourt. Jiang Dalin took the ball and broke through to the basket, finding David Lee. The latter took advantage of Gooden's distraction and easily completed the goal.

After adapting for more than half a season, David Lee has finally gained some adaptability to this league.

After all, he was a strong inside player who averaged 20 plus 11 points per game at his peak.

Even if the bad team's stats are removed, there is definitely no problem in getting 15 plus 7.

With the help of Jiang Dalin, he ate the pie.

Still unable to score a goal?

2-0!

It's the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

James wiped his hands before dribbling at halfcourt.

At this time, he didn't have the habit of throwing magnesium powder before games.

It's quite interesting to say.

This became his signature for a long time, and many fans would even accompany him to do the powder throwing action before the game. However, after going to Miami and losing to the Mavericks in the finals, he chose to cancel this action.

Calm down public grievances.

Later, in 2014, LeBron felt that he was good again, so he launched a poll on Twitter, asking fans if they wanted to see the return of throwing magnesium powder. He received an almost unanimous support of 95%.

But after just a few games, James stopped using this signature move again. The reason was the same as before, that is, his momentum and performance after the throw were not better, and he even fell into a losing streak because of it, so he was asked to throw it away.

This action, which was supposed to show momentum, turned into a laughing stock.

At that time, some media further pointed out that usually 50 to 90 minutes before a game is the pre-game shooting practice time for players, but James hardly participated in it. Instead, it felt that he spent all his time on throwing magnesium powder, which also made him

The necessity of signature moves has been questioned again, and even ridiculed: "Instead of spending time showing off, it is better to focus more on the game."

Since he canceled this signature move, he also began to participate in the team's pre-game shooting training, and he really played better in the following games, which made James decide to stop doing his signature move indefinitely.

In short, this domineering move seems incompatible with LeBron's attributes.

Cavaliers' attack.

James dribbles into the frontcourt and organizes passes.

Watch as your teammates start to get into position.

One thing LeBron has to do is he knows he can't rush things.

So sometimes he would hold the ball in his hands for fifteen or six seconds to prevent his teammates from losing control of the ball...

I'll take the blame for this!

Find an opportunity to get the ball to Alexander who is open.

The latter hesitated after catching the ball and gave the ball back to LeBron.

LeBron didn't expect that his little brother would pass the blame. By the time he reacted, time had already forced him to take action.

"Bang!"

The ball missed.

LeBron gritted his teeth and fought back.

In fact, he is preparing to break through.

But the Knicks were in a zone defense situation from the beginning, giving James a headache.

This defensive style gave James some shooting space, but James did not dare to shoot.

He believes in his breakthrough to the same extent as he doesn't believe in his shooting.

And Wilkens boldly took advantage of this!

The New York Knicks launched a counterattack. Given Marbury's age, his absolute speed was not very fast. He observed as he advanced.

After reaching the top of the arc, Jiang Dalin gave the ball to Jiang Dalin as soon as he came up. So far this season, Marbury's average of 13 assists per game is not for nothing.

At this time, the tacit understanding with Jiang Dalin was really formed.

Jiang Dalin dribbled the ball and broke through from the right, attracting the attention of the defense. On the other side, Ariza used David Lee's screen to run towards another counterattack.

As soon as he was free, Jiang Dalin's ball came into his hands.

Ariza is ready to catch the ball, shoot the ball, and do it all in one go!!!

The ball also fell into the basket.

Three points scored!

Madison Garden cheers after Ariza scores.

The pleasing offense made New York fans couldn't help but say in their hearts: The offense depends on us New Yorkers!

Ariza's three-pointers have always been fueled. This is Jiang Dalin using his foresight to give this guy the advantage of being his teammate.

People, you have to suffer losses before you know what you are suitable for and what you are not suitable for.

Ariza doesn't have this problem.

He just needs to continue moving forward in the direction pointed by Jiang Dalin's bright light!

While returning to defense, Ariza did not forget to run over and give Jiang Dalin a high-five.

Cavaliers attack.

Snow dribbled the ball through half court and then passed the ball to James.

Marbury didn't even have the motivation to defend. In his opinion, Snow was going to pass the ball anyway, so there was nothing to defend against.

The Knicks were still defending in the zone, and James gave the ball to Alexander after being blocked at the free throw line.

The latter, who caught the ball again, really felt a lot of pressure at the moment.

He really wanted to tell LeBron, say goodbye.

You are the core of the team!

I am a small substitute who has just been brought up. How can I keep asking you to pass the ball to me?

Alexander was touched a hundred million times.

Then he responded with a pass from LeBron James.

Because Crawford is anxious to perform and does not want to become the weakness of the starting end, he has been actively defending, regardless of how professional the defense is.

If it can be blocked twice in a row, it shows that it is effective.

Big Z stepped forward, protected the rebound, and then quickly passed the ball to LeBron's hands.

By the way, it also provided a screen for LeBron, allowing him to smoothly get to the basket.

After all, this is the teammate who has been working together since 2003 until now.

There is a real tacit understanding between them.

LeBron rushed in suddenly, raised his hand and made a domineering "Tomahawk Cleave", but the result was...

"boom!"

Jiang Dalin bypassed Big Z and blocked the ball directly out of the field.

This directly caused huge cheers to erupt in Madison Square.

LeBron turned his head and glanced at Big Z, his once most trusted old partner.

At this moment, he wanted to ask, "Brother, are we playing!"

Can't you hold on any longer?

You were never like this before!

Fortunately, the ball still belongs to them.

LeBron caught the ball on the sidelines and took the ball to the top of the key.

The Knicks were determined to defend the zone today.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wilkens off the court.

This old guy has a lot of experience and knows a lot.

He immediately caught his weak spot.

Do you want to challenge your weaknesses?

LeBron James knows that if he can make one, the entire situation will definitely be much better for the Cavaliers.

so……

he……

Still passed it on!

He is real...

I don’t dare to vote!

Especially now that the Cavaliers have not scored a goal, he is even more afraid to take action.

He feels that in basketball, you must trust your teammates...

Um!

Even though he was under great pressure, he quickly moved the ball. Drew Gooden seemed to suddenly remember that he was playing basketball now. After recovering, he shot and scored.

As the fourth overall pick in the first round of 2002, although he is a well-known "wanderer" in the league, it is not difficult to "wander" if you don't have some skills.

If he hadn't had poor self-control and contracted something he shouldn't have, he wouldn't be as valuable as he is now.

This shot proved that he had a basket. The Cavaliers finally scored the first goal of the game.

It's the New York Knicks' turn to attack again.

Although the Cavaliers scored the first goal of the game, the Knicks were not very nervous. They still played in an orderly manner according to their offensive rhythm.

Marbury passed the ball to Jiang Dalin in the frontcourt.

Jiang Dalin's position was very outside this time. When he found that Big Z followed him very outside this time, he directly took the ball and went towards the basket.

Big Z’s pace is really bad.

When Jiang Dalin was out of position with him, he wanted to reach out to interfere, but he could only watch him score the ball into the basket.

Especially the forward layup at the basket.

This crazy big Z can’t keep up with that!

If she were as tall as him, she would have to duck her waist.

He is no matter how old he is. At this age, he can dodge anything, except his waist, otherwise he won't be able to pay the public salary.

Another goal, the Knicks hit such a high offensive mark, the Cavaliers head coach frowned.

At this moment, LeBron suddenly asked his teammates to serve the ball quickly, and then he quickly rushed forward with the ball.

The speed is too fast. The Knicks' retreat speed this time obviously cannot keep up with LeBron James' breakthrough speed.

Just as this guy was about to break through the New York Knicks, Jiang Dalin caught up with LeBron James at this moment.

When LeBron noticed Jiang Dalin rushing over from the side, he thought of the ball he had just been blocked by Jiang Dalin. He also thought of the ball he had just blocked when the season just started.

It's strange to say...

This body-chasing hat was originally his specialty, and he has always bullied others like this.

I didn't expect that when I met Jiang Dalin, he would always be bullied like this...

Can……

With so many people watching, he couldn't give in!

LeBron knows very well that if he gives in at this time, then...

The Cavaliers may not be able to improve their momentum.

so……

Must go!

LeBron then accelerated again, using all his strength without noticing that he was taking one step, two steps and three steps, almost like playing football.

referee……

I also pretended not to see it.

But Jiang Dalin is also running, so LeBron has no advantage even if he runs.

"Snapped!"

LeBron couldn't avoid it and got another shot.

When they met for the first time in 2006, Jiang Dalin had nothing to give, so he gave LeBron two big hats!
