NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 53 Damn, another three-game losing streak

There was no time to celebrate for the New York Knicks, and they went non-stop to the next away game - the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Looking at the ranking alone, the Minnesota Timberwolves may not necessarily be a strong team, but the Minnesota Timberwolves are in the Wild West. This ranking is very normal, and at the same time it is not weak at all.

The Minnesota Timberwolves revolved around the Kevin Le Fujian team. Kevin Love did not disappoint the team. 15.2 rebounds, including 4.5 offensive rebounds!
In other words, as long as Kevin Love is on the court, the Minnesota Timberwolves will shoot 4.5 more shots than their opponents.

In addition to his rebounding ability, he can post up, shoot from the mid-range, and can shoot as far as the three-point line; he is a versatile offensive power forward.

It is estimated that it will bring a lot of trouble to the inside of the New York Knicks. The inside of the New York Knicks can only be regarded as mediocre in the entire league.

In addition to Love, the Minnesota Timberwolves also have many talented players, such as Wesley Johnson, Wayne Ellington, Costa Koufos and other players.

At the same time, the Minnesota Timberwolves will strengthen the outside line during the offseason. The Minnesota Timberwolves paid two future draft picks and some cash in exchange for Michael Beasley from the Miami Heat.

Michael Beasley is an all-around forward player.He has outstanding physical fitness and athletic ability, can fight inside, coupled with good outside shooting, and allows him to score almost anywhere on the court.

Joining the Minnesota Timberwolves this season, he averaged 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. He played only one month and became an indispensable scorer for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Based on the above, the Minnesota Timberwolves are not a weak team!

So before the game, head coach Mike D'Antoni warned the players to be cautious.

But it's useless to be vigilant.

In this game, Minnesota Timberwolves' Michael Beasley and insider Kevin Love broke out at the same time, playing the New York Knicks' defense so poorly that they couldn't guard against them at all.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Andrew, the New York Knicks responded frequently offensively, barely biting the score, but when Andrew went to rest, the New York Knicks began to be unable to keep up with the Minnesota Timberwolves on the offensive end, and were gradually pulled away.

By the time Andrew returned to the court, the point difference had been widened by 8 points.

Andrew: "."

Andrew responded immediately, but it was useless. The most important thing to chase points was defense. They couldn't defend the Minnesota Timberwolves on the defensive end, especially inside. Kevin Love had already grabbed 11 rebounds in less than halftime.

Then, nothing after that, the New York Knicks were suppressed by the Minnesota Timberwolves throughout the process, and they did not narrow the point difference in the end.

最终以112:121，9分不敌明尼苏达森林狼，总战绩来到10胜6负。

本场比赛凯文乐福18投10中，三分球5投3助攻，罚球10投10中，砍下33分20篮板2助攻大号的两双数据；迈克尔比斯利19投11中，砍下27分6篮板1助攻1抢断，一内一外合砍60分带领走向胜利。

而安德鲁全场比赛23投11中，三分球5投2中，罚球12投12中，砍下全场最高36分外加5篮板11助攻1抢断的两双数据，但安德鲁一点都不高兴，因为比赛输了。

If the game is lost, any data is useless.

Lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves, two days later, the New York Knicks ushered in the Western powerhouse Denver Nuggets at home.

Speaking of the Denver Nuggets, a strong team, fans can't help but think of the 08-09 Western Conference Finals and the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. They fought a full 6 games before losing.

The mighty Denver Nuggets met the even more powerful Los Angeles Lakers, and the mighty Carmelo Anthony met the even more powerful Kobe Bryant.

They wanted to make a comeback last season. At the beginning of the season, the Denver Nuggets' performance has been stable at the second place in the West.In the middle of the season, the Nuggets coach George Karl was diagnosed with cancer in the neck and throat by the doctor, and missed all the remaining games of the Denver Nuggets. The performance of the Denver Nuggets began to fluctuate, and finally fell to fourth in the West. .Facing the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs, in the absence of the coach, he bid farewell to the season with a total score of 2-4.

This season, there are rumors that the Denver Nuggets want to trade all the core members. As soon as the news came out, the Denver Nuggets were panicked, but under the pressure of Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, everyone was safe down.

Carmelo Anthony is not afraid of trading, anyway, which team he can play in!
卡梅隆安东尼在2003年NBA选秀中于首轮第3顺位被丹佛掘金选中，新秀赛季场均21分6.7篮板2.8助攻带领上赛季仅17胜的丹佛掘金闯入季后赛。

So Carmelo Anthony is very confident in his own strength.

And Chauncey Billups is even less worried. He has already won the championship, and it doesn't matter which team he goes to now.

"Beep beep." As the whistle sounded, the New York Knicks VS Denver Nuggets game officially started.

As soon as the game started, the Denver Nuggets played a smooth offense led by Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, scoring 41 points in a single quarter.

The New York Knicks also scored 35 points led by Andrew.

But still behind.

In fact, the Denver Nuggets scored more points than the New York Knicks.

In the second quarter, the substitutes came up, and the difference of only 6 points was suddenly expanded by double digits, especially the two substitutes Al Harrington and Ty Lawson, which made the New York Knicks substitutes unable to fight back.

"Beep beep." Half time is over.

At 58:73, the Denver Nuggets scored a terrifying 73 points at halftime and entered the second half with a 15-point lead.

After a short intermission, players from both sides returned to the court.

Coach Mike D'Antoni doesn't have much room for adjustment, the New York Knicks players are there, how to adjust!

There are two stars on the opposite side, and they only have Andrew.

In the third quarter, the Denver Nuggets won by another 7 points, widening the point difference to 20 points.

Seeing this, head coach Mike D'Antoni had no choice but to withdraw his troops, replace the starters, and announce the early end of the game.

Seeing this, the head coach of the Denver Nuggets also replaced the starters one after another.
In the end, the New York Knicks lost to the Denver Nuggets 104:125, 21 points, two consecutive losses, and a total record of 10 wins and 7 losses, but the New York Knicks' losing streak is not over yet.

A day later, in the face of the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks narrowly defeated the Boston Celtics by 5 points and swallowed a three-game losing streak. The total record came to 10 wins and 8 losses.

"Damn it, another three-game losing streak." After the game, Andrew murmured while looking at the big screen on the ceiling with his hands on his hips.

本场比赛安德鲁又打出40+10的恐怖数据，29投14中，三分球7投3中，罚球11罚11中，砍下42分7篮板12助攻2抢断外加4失误。

However, the Big Three of the Boston Celtics absolutely affirmed the strength of this junior.

Interviews after the game frequently praised Andrew in front of the media.
