Beijing time on January 13, the NBA regular season continues, today the Knicks sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Lone Ranger, although the recent Knicks are in good shape, but the Lone Ranger has a big core Doncic with the ball, so they want to win the game is not easy, I thought this game Lone Ranger will laugh to the end, but this battle Lone Ranger is too iron, they were scared by the Knicks' muscle confrontation, and finally the team lost to the Knicks 85-108.
The Lone Ranger played too soft today, facing a team with a tough defense, they don't know how to play this can't work, this campaign Doncic shot 8 of 23, 1 of 9 three-pointers to get 21 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, Doncic's personal offense has been inefficient this season, this is the problem that has occurred after he gained weight, and many of his good opportunities to pass the ball have not been rewarded, the whole team is too iron, the lone ranger in the whole game totaled 78 shots 32, shooting only 41%.
Brunson scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Hardaway Jr. scored 13 points and 3 assists, and none of the rest of the players scored in double figures, so it is reasonable to lose in this case, today Kidd did not come to the Knicks with the team is another key to their loss, the acting manager's on-the-spot adaptability is indeed not as good as him. The Knicks were able to win this game thanks to Barrett's excellent performance, and the tandem finally began to cash in on his talent this season.
In this game, Barrett shot 13 of 22 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers to get 32 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, it is worth mentioning that Barrett scored 31 points in the last game, so far he has become the youngest player in the history of the team to win 30+ consecutively, This season Barrett is only 21 years old, the recent Knicks record has picked up is with his excellent performance, and Randall's recent offensive status can be said to be very inefficient, this campaign Randall 17 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in 6 of 17 shots.
Last game Randle 1 of 7 scored 2 points, he is really not suitable for the power in hand, Randall's personal offensive ability is indeed limited, but also like to play flowers, there is still a gap from the top of the inside line, for now I think Barrett is more suitable than Randle to be a cornerstone player, last season the team around Randle Although barely reached the playoffs, but only here he led the team not far, let him play the ball core type inside line This is the maximum ceiling.
Barrett is different, if Barrett can continue to perform on the offensive end now, then the Knicks' ceiling will be very high, because after Randle reduces the ball, other players will also get opportunities, which is not the other day Fournier scored 40 points, Mitchell Robinson, who has not been given a chance before, ate cake today and ate very happy, 9 of 10 shots, 19 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
After winning, the Knicks have a two-game winning streak, and they are only half a win away from the eighth Wizards in the East, and a return to the top eight in the East is expected. Although the Lone Rangers lost the game, but they have won 6 consecutive games in the past period of time, they still maintain the fifth ranking in the West, the next Lone Ranger will face the Grizzlies with 10 consecutive wins, and they will still lose, and the impact of the current Grizzlies is indeed too strong.
