Today's game here is the Boston Celtics home against the third-to-last team in the East, the New York Knicks, before this game, the Boston Celtics just slaughtered the team in New York a week ago, in that game, the New York Knicks' miserable scoring in the first three quarters of the game is still vivid, and that defeat is also directly the last bit of heart of the New York Knicks this season. Alan Houston and Marbury, as well as Odom, who recently signed a big contract, were ready to join forces one last time to put the New York in the playoffs, but in the end, in that game, Marbury's crazy 28 shots in the first three quarters almost directly shattered the alliance that the three had so hard to reach again.

Since then, the New York Knicks have not won, in this situation, as the league's highest salary team, this team is likely to beat the Magic in the regular season this season to win the league's bottom position, this year the Magic under the leadership of Bosh and Butler almost lost consecutive games, which is clearly for the draft of the year to sign the champion, but from the current situation, New York is really likely to complete a counterattack on the Magic, of course, for the New York Knicks, There's not much to say about this away game against the Boston Celtics.

They wanted to beat the Boston Kyle Tiers, but the tragedy was that the Kings had already defeated Zhuang Fei, and they were getting farther and farther away from that goal, and they were beaten like that by Zhuang Fei and the Celtics on their home court. It is conceivable to be in this away game, but for the Boston Celtics, the last away game against New York was a turning point, and the Boston Celtics played their strongest defense of the season, and it was also after that game that the Boston Celtics' defensive system began to get on the right track.

In fact, for many players, defending is not a difficult thing to do. The threshold for defense is too low compared to the talent needed for offense, and in fact. At present, the composition of the Boston Celtics is easy to meet the requirements of Xibodu, and the reason why this Boston Celtics has appeared like this is more because the Boston Celtics have never had such a defensive habit, or lack a moment to imitate and learn from.

And the game against New York was like opening a door for the Boston Celtics players, and their understanding of the team's defensive system has also risen to a new level. In such a situation, it can also be said that if it were not for the defeat of the New York Knicks, I am afraid that there would not be the current Boston Celtics, but the Boston Celtics at this time are completely different from the previous week or the previous period.

The Boston Celtics have been playing well defensively lately. Zhuang Fei was also extremely excited. In this case, Zhuang Fei asked everyone on this team to return to normal offense and defense almost after the game with the Pacers. In fact, the last game against the Pacers has made Zhuang Fei see his team's extreme on the defensive end.

When the limit of the Boston Celtics came out, it was difficult for the team to improve no matter how much it trained, so the game between the Pacers and the Boston Celtics was also the last game that Zhuang Fei asked the team to defend with all his might, and after the game against the Pacers, this game against the Knicks allowed Boston Celtics fans to once again witness the strength of their team, and it was also offensive strength.

For a team, when they've been in one mode for too long, it's hard to move out of the other very quickly. And in today's game, the New York Knicks once again kindly played such a role, if the Boston Celtics' opponent in this game is not the New York Knicks but a strong team like the Spurs, then the Boston Celtics want to return to normal in this game The road to return to normal will not be so simple, for the current Boston Celtics, the strength of the New York Knicks is just right.

This team is very weak, but the strength of individual players is not weak, and such a team is the best sparring team. And in the end, in this game, as the Boston Celtics and these Boston Celtics fans who want to find the past mode, Zhuang Fei's team almost controlled the situation from the beginning, and this time the Boston Celtics almost played a score that was almost impossible to surpass in the first quarter, and the Boston Celtics scored 38 points in a single quarter in front of the New York Knicks, and nearly 80 points in the first half.

As for the end of this game, the Boston Celtics scored 140 points, and this score was not played in overtime. So after the results of this game came out, it was quite dumbfounded by some experts, before the start of this game, not many people would think that the Boston Celtics offense would play so smoothly, these players of the Boston Celtics are similar to the defense that has not experienced the previous games at all, and they have not forgotten how to change how to attack.

Of course, in this game, the Boston Celtics beat the New York Knicks by 144-92 points at home, and this 52-point victory is also a new record for the highest score in a single game and the highest score in a single game this season. Then it is really possible for the owner of the New York Knicks to directly disband this team.

After beating the New York Knicks at home on Nov. 24, the Boston Celtics also have a 13-2 record this season and are currently in first place at the bottom, and the current second place in the entire Eastern Conference regular season is the Vancouver Grizzlies, a team with a current record of 12 wins and 3 losses, losing one more game than the Boston Celtics.

In third place is the Washington Wizards, this team has also declined to a certain extent this season, although this summer this team left Jordan and Hamilton, but it is obvious that Jordan's grade is getting bigger and bigger, although the mid-range shooting is getting more and more accurate, but in terms of physical strength and speed is getting worse and worse, for a run-and-shoot team, Jordan's mid-range shot is very important to the Wizards, after all, for all run-and-shoot teams are to 'bang' in the end, and this' 'Boom' is naturally shooting, but in the same run-and-bomb tactics, what is more important than 'boom' is also in front of this word is 'run', which requires speed and athleticism, and now, although Jordan appears in the No. 3 position.

But as there are more and more strongmen in the league's No. 3 position, the challenge of this Jordan god is getting bigger and bigger, in this case, after almost everyone, this year is basically the last year of this god, and the Wizards In addition to Jordan's big god is now in some trouble, the team's starting point guard Hamilton is actually very reluctant to stay in this team, and he originally accepted the Mavericks' offer contract this summer, and he was willing to go to the Mavericks.

It's just that in the Wizards, he has no idea what his status in the team is, although his current salary is not low, but he is not willing to become a team's four or even five or even six leaders, and in fact, with the arrival of Marion, the maturity of Xiao Si and the rise of Crawford, his status is now really starting to go to the six, in this case, because of some personal problems with the two important parts of the team, this Wizard has not been excited enough so far, There wasn't the excitement of last season, and all the players were treating the games as if they were completing some mechanical task. Such a Wizard can only rank third in the East, and his record is not outstanding 10-4.

Of course, although the top three teams in the East have a significant decline compared to last season, it is obvious that the rankings of these three teams are still unchanged, and the Boston Celtics, Grizzlies and Wizards are one notch ahead of other Eastern teams, so this season compared with the East, the West has counterattacked more, and now the first in the West In addition to the Lakers, the fourth team last season, the second in the West has also become the Timberwolves who were fifth last season, and the third in the West is the incredible Raptors, This team has blown a whirlwind in the West this year, and its current record is also an astonishing 10-5, which is the same as the Spurs in the fourth place in the West, but because of the win-loss relationship, the Spurs beat the Spurs to shoot the third in the West.

Of course, for a tournament like the NBA regular season, which has 82 games, and for now, less than a fifth of the schedule has passed, and in this case, the current ranking is very precarious, especially when the gap between all the teams is very small, so for these teams, basically every game can make a huge difference in those rankings.

So for Zhuang Fei and the Celtics, they are very clear about the current situation, so after defeating the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics defeated the Magic on November 26, which is the first in the East, and the score of this game is also 117-90, and on November 28 and 29 after defeating the Magic, the Boston Celtics played the Bucks home and away, and also killed the Bucks twice, and the scores of the two games were all 106-90. Recently, the Boston Celtics also secured the team's first place in the East because of a relatively easy record, and after the game against the Bucks, the team's record also reached 16 wins and 2 losses, although it is still small compared to 82 games, but the game can now start to determine something.

For example, the competition for MVP and the competition for the best rookie this season. (To be continued.) )
