Beijing time on January 3, the NBA regular season continued, today the Raptors sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Knicks, because the triggered the safety agreement, so randle did not play, to be honest I feel that the Knicks without Randall played more like a team, although today lost, but this campaign Knicks played a multi-point blossom situation, and finally the Raptors with a more complete lineup to beat the Knicks 120-115.
Without Randall, the Knicks scored in double figures and scored 19+ points on three points, Barrett shot 6 of 14 from the field, 2 of 5 from three-point range and 19 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, Fournier 14 of 6, 4 of 3-pointers and 20 points, Topping 7 of 12, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Burks 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and Grimes 13 points and 2 assists. To be honest I've always felt there's something wrong with the Knicks dressing room right now.
A game a few days ago exposed this problem, Walker dribbled through the half, Randall went to ask for the ball, maybe Walker also did not give for a long time, and then Randall directly blocked the marching route of Walker's attack, Walker is also able to directly pull out the attack. This is the current situation of the Knicks, Randall suppressed Fournier, Walker and other offensive players, they have proved themselves before, but after coming to the Knicks, they did not play well.
Could it be that just after entering the playoffs last season, the Knicks are going to go back to decline because of locker room problems? In contrast, since the Raptors won the championship, although the core has left one after another, but they have cultivated a young core lineup well, they are steadily moving forward, after today's win, the Raptors have reached the ninth place in the East, and the Eighth Wizards are only half a win away, and it is surprising that they were able to play such a result after Lowry left.
But think about it carefully can also be understood, after all, they have found the right leader and Lowry's successor, now Van Jordan is honestly more than the peak Lowry is not to let go, today Van Jordan played 30 minutes 17 shots 11, three points 13 7 took 35 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, under his tandem Siakam took 20 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, Anunoby 14 points and 3 rebounds, Barnes 13 points and 4 rebounds, Boucher 12 points is very good.
Van Jordan has been playing better and better recently, in the last game against the Clippers, he scored 31 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals, so far this season, he can average 20.9 points, 5 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.6 blocks, shooting 43.8%, 40% three-point shooting, he can average 3.5 three-pointers per game, such efficiency and output is completely the style of top shooters.
The nerve knife of that year is now the most stable scoring point for the Raptors, Fan Jordan's growth is unexpected, but the Raptors are also powerful enough, Fan Jordan can play from the development of the league to the current team's starting position and become the core of the team His efforts are self-evident, and Fan Jordan can grow to this point today, I think thanks to the finals of the year, Fan Jordan is in the finals of the finals to have today's Raptors leader.
Now Van Jordan already has all-Star level strength, and Siakam has already been selected as an All-Star to prove himself, and now the Raptors barnes and Anunoby are also extremely talented, and this team is worth looking forward to in the future. Speaking of which, do you have anything to say about the raptors and Knicks now? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
