The Knicks and Thunder actually played hard all over the field, and even played an overtime...
It's quite wonderful
Rookies peck at each other.
In the end, the Knicks lost 123-127, and the Thunder Alexander and Dolt did not play.
The Knicks can lose, this dares to lose, really don't want the face, there is no salvation, and then lose like this, there is no need to lose.
The last few minutes of the fourth quarter between the two sides, including the last few rounds of overtime, were enough for O'Neill to be a big five, all kinds of low-level mistakes, and those who didn't know thought that neither side wanted to win.
At the end of the fourth quarter, the Thunder conceded 4 consecutive free throws, and the Thunder core point guard Gidey also had a sideline ball error to let the Knicks directly score, and the sideline ball was indeed a world-class problem.
The Knicks' side is attacking all kinds of constipation, except for this kind of fast attack that is almost delivered to the door, there is really no tactics and rules at all.
Let's say that the last attack in overtime, the Thunder penalties are quite a chance, the result of the Knicks to equalize the three-point opportunity, actually arranged a tactic to let Quickley shoot, to know that Quickley has not scored a goal today, the whole game 7 shots 0, 5 of 3 points 0.
I didn't know why everyone said that Quickley had blocked Thibodeau's bullets, but today I saw it.
Randall Fournier took turns singles, most of them ending the round with a furious smash.
Fournier today 18 shots 10 of 29 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, thrown 6 three-pointers, has been considered the Knicks' hardest one, the fourth quarter and overtime key moments have a very tough goal, Gidy's mistake is also Fournier's steal, unfortunately it is not very durable, can not get up.
Randall had a 30+ triple-double today, 30 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists on 11-of-26 shooting, and at least 28 points in the sixth consecutive game, but you said Randall is a scorer, and it's really far from it.
Yes, today's regular time Randle played very well, but a key moment that the ability to attack the tough really dare not compliment, the entire fourth quarter plus overtime Randall took a total of 4 points, fouls and mistakes are more than scores, three points can not be shot, chisel can not be chiseled in, overtime there are direct passes, and finally 6 fouls to leave, simply outrageous.
Although the thunder of others is also a small mistake, but really everyone dares to fight, should suddenly throw.
Seriously suspect that Gidey's last mistake was to brush three doubles in overtime, and of course, he finally got it.
Gidey shot 11-of-22, 3-of-4 from three-point range, had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and played in Madison Garden for the first time in his career to get a triple-double.
Really watching Gidey play, I can't see that he is only 19 years old this year, and his playing style is quite mature.
Although the breakthrough speed is not fast, but it can crush the defense into it, Fournier is about to be numbed today.
Of course, Gidey also had 7 mistakes today, and a few of them were quite fatal, but this core point guard does take time and experience to slowly cultivate.
Although the process may be ugly, but the game is won, and it is a good thing to take a triple-double.
Today Trey Mann also brushed a career record, shooting 9 of 16 from the field, 4 of 7 from three points, very efficient to get 30 points, refreshing his career scoring record, in terms of taking on the record, the Knicks are indeed professional.
In overtime, Trey Mann alone scored 8 points, which was exactly equal to Fournier + Randle.
Bezley also brushed a new scoring season high, with 23 points and eight rebounds on 8-of-17 shooting, and the equalizer of Mitchell Robinson at the end of the fourth quarter was crucial.
Although there are still a lot of imperfect places, but I feel that the Thunder are playing now without any problems, the atmosphere is also very good, I heard that there is still hope that Wei Shao will return to the Thunder to lead the team to rebuild, so it seems that there is no need for this?
