Beijing December 13, the NBA regular season continued, the Bucks beat the Knicks 112-97, it is worth mentioning that after losing this game, the Knicks have ushered in three consecutive losses, the record has also slipped to the 12th place in the East, compared to last season, the Knicks' state this season can be said to completely subvert the fans' cognition, so that the New York fans who have just ignited hope have been completely hit to the bottom of the cliff again. Among them, the team's sluggish performance is hard to blame.
Randall's performance in this game can be described as a disaster level, under the defense of the best defensive player Alphabet Brother, Randall completely lost himself in this game, and only got 10 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in the case of 35 minutes of playing, such data also made it difficult for the Knicks to win, and the shooting percentage was as low as 22.2%, and the plus-minus value was the second lowest -17 in the whole game.
But Randle's slump is not just this game, in the last five games, Randall has played very badly, averaging only 15.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, shooting only 38.3% from the field, and shooting as low as 33.4% from outside the three-point line. The leader of the house can only deliver such a performance, that is, Thibodeau has the highest ability, I am afraid that he will not be able to save New York and the water and fire.
Compared with last season, Randall has declined significantly this season, and so far this season, he has averaged 19.5 points, 10 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, shooting only 43% from the field, and returned to the previous state of high shooting and low efficiency. Compared with Randle last season, he averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 boards and 6 assists per game last season, triple-double data has become commonplace, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 41.1%, and the most important thing is that the Knicks returned to the playoffs after many years, and Randle entered the All-Star.
However, this season's Knicks once again made the hearts of New York fans fall to the bottom, in addition to Randall, Barrett did not play the kind of dominance of last season, so far this season, only averaged 15.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, shooting only 40% from the field, and won a huge early contract extension of 117 million for 4 years in the offseason. With staffing unabated compared to last season, the Knicks seem to have forgotten how to play, and with multiple teams in the East rising strongly this season, the Knicks are not too much to call the most disappointing team of the season.
