At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks were leading by more than ten points, but they were overtaken near the end.
Knicks coach Mike Woodson was pacing wildly on the sidelines. When Anthony approached, he couldn't help shouting: "Melo, if you feel bad, pass the ball more. Take it easy first, and trust your teammates..."
Unfortunately, for Anthony, these earnest words were like a thorn in his heart.
Even you look down on me, right?
Then I have to prove it to you!
Some people hit the wall and know how to go around it, while some people think they can break the wall, but they ignore that they are just mortal bodies.
As one of the league's top scorers, Anthony only knew that the doubts from his teammates and coaches were a strong insult to his scoring ability, and a rage burned in his heart.
Anthony started to take crazy shots, desperate shots... His ears were like stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't hear the voices of the coach and teammates at all. He just took the ball and did it.
He desperately needs crazy scoring to prove his ability.
Such a move plays right into the Trail Blazers' hands.
The double teams prepared in advance worked wonders.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"..."
Crazy shots resulted in crazy strikes until the end of the second quarter.
Anthony, who played in the second half of the game, made 1 of 9 shots, plus 3 of 5 free throws at the superstar whistle, and only scored 5 points.
In the first quarter, Anthony just made 6 of 8 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 14 points with super efficiency.
Just when the fans thought he could continue his opening touch, they unexpectedly ushered in such a result.
At 64:55, the Knicks were almost ten points behind.
…
Mike Woodson, who had just taken over as head coach, was drafted by the Knicks as a player and is full of affection for this team.
Anthony's style of play just now was called cancer and would lead the Knicks to failure. During the halftime break, the Knicks did not enter the locker room, and roars spread from the bench.
The target of these voices is undoubtedly the No. 7 player sitting on the bench, clutching a towel and saying nothing.
"I'm sorry, coach, I'll play hard later."
With everyone watching, Anthony made a rare apology.
"Mello, I'm glad you can wake up in time. It's not too late now. As long as we cooperate well with our teammates, we still have a chance to defeat the opponent."
Now that Anthony realizes his wrong play, Mike Woodson, who is 1.96 meters tall, pats Anthony on the shoulder happily.
"Um."
Anthony smiled and nodded, tying his shoelaces.
At this time, no one noticed a cold light flashing in Anthony's eyes.
It seems that Melon is not as kind as he seems.
The seeds of conflict between players and coaches have been planted, only to take root later.
…
Back in the third quarter, Anthony did not continue his crazy shooting in the first half, but surprisingly, he seemed to have turned from prosperity to decline. His overall offensive desire was mediocre, and he only took two shots in one quarter.
What the hell is that guy doing?
Faced with such "ignorance" of Guagua, everyone's faces were filled with doubts.
Mike Woodson frowned slightly. He had long discovered Anthony's unusual behavior, but at first he thought the other party had really changed his temper and was wholeheartedly cooperating with his teammates.
But as time went by, he gradually realized that Anthony was just angry.
What a child who won’t grow up!
This time the anger has almost dissipated. Mike Woodson did not accuse Anthony anymore. He still wanted to keep his job as head coach.
But what Mike Woodson never expected was that Anthony was filled with disgust for him.
…
In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Jr. Smith led the substitutes to fight on the court and even chased the score to 5 points.
Jr. Smith would never have imagined that while he was working hard on the court, his boss would start a cold war with his coach because of his ridiculous dignity.
In other words, he was at odds with himself.
When Anthony returned to the court, he still had no desire to take action. Instead, he passed more passes.
In the last three minutes before the game, he successfully "swiped" his assists for this game to 5...at the cost of 7 eye-catching mistakes.
If the generals are not at odds with each other, how can we fight this war?
The Knicks had a strong start. Except for the team's sixth man Jr. Smith, the rest of the players suddenly stalled in the second half and eventually lost to the Trail Blazers 89:102, helping the latter end their two-game losing streak.
The Knicks here.
Jr. Smith came off the bench and scored a game-high 28 points in 31 minutes, plus 6 rebounds and 2 steals.
It can be seen that jr is definitely not crazy in this game!
The team's second-highest scorer is star Carmelo Anthony, who scored 22 points and 3 rebounds in 33 minutes... and an eye-catching 9 turnovers.
The most important thing is that 15 of Anthony's 22 points came in the first half and only 3 points in the second half.
At this moment, anyone can see that there is definitely something wrong with Anthony's game tonight.
Here's the Trail Blazers.
Aldridge made 12 of 18 shots and scored a team-high 26 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.
Lillard scored 23 points and 11 assists on 10 of 22 shots.
Among the three young players, Wang Zelin scored the least, scoring 21 points on 9 of 15 shots, but the best of the game was still awarded to him.
There is no other reason.
In addition to 21 points, Wang Zelin also had a near-quadruple-double of 13 rebounds, 7 blocks, 6 assists and 3 steals.
Tonight, Wang Zelin can definitely be called a pillar of strength on the defensive end.
Especially the astonishing 7 blocks and 3 steals, both career highs.
It is worth mentioning that after tonight's game, Wang Zelin's five statistics of points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals all surpassed the best regular season single data record left by the former "Chinese Mobile Great Wall" Yao Ming in the NBA.
The points, rebounds and assists have long been surpassed. Tonight's 7 blocks and 3 steals successfully surpassed Yao Ming's record of 5 blocks and 2 steals on the spot.
What is now in front of Wang Zelin is Yao Ming's record of 44 minutes of regular season playing time.
em…
For Wang Zelin, maybe the factory time is the most difficult...well, a little bit difficult.
…
A large number of long-awaited reporters from China showed up at the post-game interview conference.
"My King, in tonight's game you broke Dayao's single-game blocks and single-game steals record in the NBA. What do you think about this?"
"Well, I am very excited now and hope that I can continue to work hard in the future. As I said before, records are meant to be broken. I believe Dayao is also looking forward to seeing the birth of new records."
"Okay, thank you for visiting, and I hope I can bring you a wonderful game."
