23 points big reversal! Portland's new king 30+5+8, the Blazers' last quarter a wave of stream knicks!
Before the NBA trade deadline this season, the team that surprised the fans the most was the Portland Trail Blazers, although the team's previous record was not good, but no fans thought that they would suddenly choose to rebuild, sending away the two core players of McCollum and Powell in a row, just when all fans thought that the record of the Blazers in the remaining schedule would plummet, they were led by the new king Simmons of tearing city in the absence of Lillard, after the last defeat to the Purple and Gold Army Lakers The Blazers sat at home in this game to meet the challenge of the Knicks, the latter last game the Nick Warriors showed a good fighting ability, which is also the reason why more fans before the game are optimistic that they can win, after the game began, the Knicks are indeed the better performing side on the court, the first three quarters of the game are the leading side, they also got their wish with a 15-point lead into the final finale, the Knicks' biggest lead reached 23 points in the whole game, just when the fans thought that the suspense of victory and defeat was not great Simmons led the Trail Blazers to a decider that exploded in a 35-11 super shockwave in a single quarter, and finally defeated the Knicks 112-103, achieving a wave of two consecutive wins!
Knicks from last season's biggest dark horse in the East, fell to the bottom of the standings this season, the main reason is the downturn of the interior core Randle, there is no super strength, but have to take a super giant style of play, so that Randall's personal offensive efficiency has declined significantly, this game against the Portland Blazers, Randall played 40.3 minutes, 20 shots only hit 8 goals, although got 28 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists of the two double-double data, but the efficiency is not high, There were also a team-high 5 individual turnovers.
Although Randall's personal performance in this game did not reach the expected height, in all fairness, he was not the culprit of the team's loss, and the performance of the starting Fuunier comparable to undercover was the fundamental reason why the Knicks were reversed, playing in 36 minutes of Fournier, crazy shot 13 times 1 goal only 4 points into the account.
For the Blazers, the biggest gain of the season is the rise of Simmons, after Lillard was injured, he seized the opportunity to prove his strength, excellent personal performance also won the title of portland's new king, this game Simmons has also become the team's most threatening offensive end of the strong point, 12 shots outside the three-point line 6, a person bombed 30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, not only the personal offensive end performance is eye-catching, Simmons is also a good tandem with the whole team's offense, A total of five players scored in double figures throughout the game, and Nurkic's several key points led by Simmons' pass in the final quarter stifled the Knicks' hopes of taking the lead again, and Nurkic also cut down 13 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.
In the history of the NBA, there have been too many examples of a sharp decline in performance after signing a big contract, and Randall is now a member of this group, and if he can't regain the dominance of both offensive and defensive ends last season, the Knicks will most likely be short-lived and once again become the fish belly team in the East!
