This time, the Lakers are playing four consecutive home games, and after three consecutive wins, the next opponent is the New York Knicks. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

New York currently has a 29-41 record, but in the East, that record could hopefully make the playoffs. It's just that the current New York is a little unintentional.

Melon Anthony has become the "king of profligacy" this season, averaging 21.3 shots per game, but the shooting rate is also decent, especially the three-point shooting rate, which can barely reach 40%, and can average 27.4 points per game.

What is the concept of averaging 21.3 shots per game? For example, in the 2006-2007 season, Kobe Bryant averaged 22.8 shots per game and scored 31.6 points per game. And this season, Harden, a player who likes to hold the ball, has only averaged 16.5 shots per game. Durant is averaging 32 points per game this season, while he is averaging 20.8 shots per game. These two people are considered the "ball masters" of their respective teams, but they are not as good as Anthony in the number of shots.

None of Anthony's helpers were powerful.

Stoudemire's stats are far worse than their rookie seasons; Banyani was reimbursed after only half a season; Filton continues to be fat; Jr-Smith is also obsessed with his own data. Rookie Hardaway Jr., as the No. 24 rookie in the draft, was a surprise for the Knicks, but everyone knows that Hardaway Jr.'s ceiling is certainly not as high as his father's.

The current Knicks, the lineup doesn't look weak, and Anthony's data is also very good, but they just don't win, or the Knicks suddenly don't win.

The same was true of this game, the scene was very lively, the Knicks scored five double-doubles, Anthony scored 33 points, and then the Knicks also lost more than 30 points in the total score.

With a four-game winning streak, the Lakers traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the East to challenge the Bucks on the road. The Bucks have a record of only 13 wins and 58 losses, which is the bottom of the East and the bottom of the league, worse than the Philadelphia 76ers.

However, what people didn't expect was that after the game entered the second quarter, the Lakers were always behind.

The current Bucks, two starters, OJ Mayo and Ilyasova, are injured, and the core of the team is Brandon Knight, who also has good athleticism, excellent speed and agility, strong ability to finish offense, and a certain level of defense. To be the heart of the team, Knight is not enough. Strictly speaking, Knight is the kind of player who can't be high or low.

In the face of Zhang Guan's defense, Knight was basically in a state of dumb fire, and as soon as Knight was dumb, the Bucks were basically dumb, and the game seemed to start to become no suspense.

But at this moment, on the bench of the Bucks, a big man stood up, he was a rookie this year, a Greek, and had a very long name: Giannis-Antetokounmpo, because the name was so long that even the commentator couldn't remember it, so he simply called him "Alphabet".

This person is none other than Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo came off the bench and scored 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting, plus 6-of-6 free throws, along with five rebounds, three assists, one steal and four blocks.

"Where did the Bucks come from, such a guy can shoot, pass, block, such a tall man, it's no problem to play center, but it's a guard's style of play!" Marshall, who was sitting on the bench, spoke.

"You mean 'Alphabet,' he's a Greek, a rookie with the 15th pick this year, and he's in the Rookie Challenge, and he's also in the Skills Challenge." Wren Kelly, who was next to him, spoke. Also as a rookie this year, Renne Kelly knows Antetokounmpo relatively well.

"Skill Challenge? This guy looks like a seven-foot-long man, how can he participate in the Skills Challenge? Marshall asked in surprise.

"Less than seven feet, 'Alphabet' is as tall as me, both 6'11", we played against each other in rookie camp, this guy has the height of a center, the body of a striker, the skill of a defender, he can play five positions on the court!" Wren Kelly sighed.

……

The scores of the two teams were still alternating upwards, but the Lakers were always five or six points behind, just unable to catch up with the Bucks, and this situation remained unchanged until the final two minutes of the game.

The Lakers, for their part, are really not very comfortable with defending Antetokounmpo.

The current Brother Alphabet is known as a copy of Durant, because his body side data is almost a weakened version of Durant, so when Brother Alphabet was drafted, the best template given was Durant. However, in reality, Antetokounmpo and Durant play in completely different ways. The similarities between the two are only superficial, but the difference in essence is still very big.

Durant is good at playing without the ball, and his main scoring method comes from mid-to-long-range shooting, and he takes less than 20% of his shots from inside the restricted area. Brother Alphabet needs to hold the ball to a certain extent, and he mainly attacks the basket, more than half of his shots come from near the restricted area, and his mid- and long-range shots only account for 30%, and the shooting distance is only half of Durant's, and his shooting is indeed not as good as Durant's. Strictly speaking, Brother Alphabet's offense is more like Wei Shao when he first entered the NBA.

So it's definitely useless to use the same set of defending Durant to defend Brother Alphabet.

In the entire NBA, there was no player like the second alphabet brother, and the Lakers' defense was relatively passive for a while, and it was not until the fourth quarter that the Lakers players gradually found a way to deal with the alphabet brother.

After all, he is still a rookie and will catch defenders off guard when he first appears, but as he slowly adapts to playing, experienced players will know how to defend. For example, the current Lakers, they replaced Jordan Hill on the court to defend the alphabet brother, and it has achieved good results.

Jordan Hill has been playing in the NBA for five years, and even if it doesn't meet people's expectations of him, he has mixed up some experience, although his defense is not good, but this kind of black and rough type of player is barely capable of dealing with a rookie.

Brother Alphabet missed three consecutive shots, and the instability of the rookie was exposed at this time. The Lakers tied the score, and the game entered the final two minutes.

The Bucks probably rarely experience this kind of fight to the end, and in most games, the Bucks are already far behind in the fourth quarter, and the game will go into garbage time. And this kind of battle until the last two minutes is rare for the Bucks. Faced with this situation, the Bucks players suddenly seemed to be unable to play, not only did they miss consecutive shots, but also made a turnover.

In the end, the score was 113-108, and the Lakers won by five points.

This is a more thrilling victory for the Lakers, and if it weren't for the sudden death of the Bucks in the last two minutes, maybe the Lakers would really lose. And all this is because of Brother Alphabet's super-level performance, Brother Alphabet also scored a career-high 32 points in this game, while also having 9 rebounds and 7 assists, which is close to a triple-double.

……

Although the game was won, Zhang Guan was not happy in his heart.

"Although Brother Alphabet has a high ceiling, he is just a rookie, such a rookie, but he blew up our whole team!" Zhang Guan shook his head and silently looked at his teammates beside him.

"We still don't have enough quality up front, Wesley Johnson is pretty good, but that's the ceiling. It looks like we still need a striker, at least a striker who can defend well. Thinking of this, Zhang Guan decided to discuss with D'Antoni.
