After playing the Grizzlies, the Knicks returned to the home court to usher in the challenge of the Phoenix Suns.

This is Stoudemire’s old club. The scene of Stoudemire being booed when Stoudemire went back for the first time this season is still vivid in his mind, so this game he played extremely fiercely and aggressively.

However, this game belongs to Yi Jianlian after all. In the last game, in order to win the game, he asked him to finish the season's triple-double ahead of schedule and postponed it to tonight's game... But today, there is only a slight gap, all Everyone believes that the moment they are looking forward to is coming!

About 1 minute into the second quarter, Yi Jianlian rushed into the Suns to grab a rebound. After a second dunk, his total number of rebounds for the season came to 820!

8 regular season games ahead of schedule!

Yi Jianlian completed the task of averaging triple-doubles per game!

At this time, there was also a huge cheer on the scene, which lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped.

In the last game, Yi Jianlian failed to grab 13 rebounds at the Grizzlies’ home court. The happiest thing is that they are Knicks fans, because this means that they will see a historic moment at home—— The moment Yi Jianlian officially became the second player in NBA history and the first player in the history of the Knicks to average a triple-double in the season!

Now, at that moment, the Knicks fans have long been waiting for the cheers. Naturally, the cheers will fly for a while!

The Suns head coach Gentry listened to the cheers from the sideline audience and looked at the Suns players who were already in a beating situation and called a timeout.

When the referee's whistle sounded, the cheers on the scene were completely uncontrollable and became louder. Yi Jianlian walked off the court and waved his hands in response to the crazy Knicks fans.

The season averaging triple-doubles is not a great achievement. At least in the history of the NBA, there are at least 20 players who can do this. But the problem is that there are only two people who are really successful, plus Yi Jianlian.

And, more importantly, the Knicks are currently ranked second in the East. While the record has not been affected, Yi Jianlian has averaged a triple-double in the season.

It must be admitted that Yi Jianlian has a triple-double behavior, which he himself admits, but the team's record has not been affected by this.

...

The game was eventually won by the Knicks.

Yi Jianlian scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in this game. This is one of the few games he has not won a triple-double recently, but this data is obtained by Yi Jianlian after playing three and a half quarters.

Yi Jianlian, who completed the season's triple-double task ahead of schedule, can finally enjoy the "early leave" treatment he hasn't had in a long time.

When he left the field, the fans on the scene spontaneously cheered.

Stoudemire also scored a large double-double with 32 points and 14 rebounds in this game, and staged five or six dunks in the game. Every time he smashed the ball into the basket, Stoudemire’s expression made people feel him. What kind of revenge has been reported!

It is also worth mentioning that Dragic, who was traded by Downey, was officially placed in the starting position by D'Antoni in this game.

As expected by Yi Jianlian, Dragic played well under the “running and bombing” system. In the past ten games, he averaged 11.4 points and 6.4 assists in 21.7 minutes per game as a substitute. If converted into 36 minutes, he played. In terms of time, this guy's stats can be compared with Steve Nash at his peak.

However, this is theoretically speaking. Dragic has 36 minutes of playing time. He certainly can't get the same data as Steve Nash. After all, after Yi Jianlian comes on the court, the ball will definitely go. What he gave, Dragic's off-the-ball running ability is not so good, he is more suitable for pick-and-rolls with the ball.

Felton did not sit on the bench because Dragic was transferred to the starting lineup. He was placed in the second position by D'Antoni. Felton completed a relatively successful transition when he was in the second position. He is here today. In the game, he scored 18 points and 4 rebounds. As a veteran, Felton's open shooting ability is really reassuring. As long as he is out of the open, he can basically make a hit.

The Knicks beat the Suns by 25 points in this game. This has something to do with the Suns' weak strength, and it also has something to do with the Knicks' fiercer starting firepower.

The last 8 games of the regular season are left.

The situation in the west is particularly clear.

The San Antonio Spurs are currently ranked first. They opened the second-ranked Lakers and the third-ranked Mavericks by 4 games, and opened the fourth-ranked Thunder by 6 games.

With only a few games left on the schedule, the Spurs must have won the first place in the West this year. The Lakers have the same record as the Mavericks. However, the Lakers went 3-1 in the 4 regular season matches with the Mavericks. The lead puts them in second place, and the Mavericks are in third place.

The Thunder followed closely behind.

The fifth Denver Nuggets have a big gap with the fourth Thunder. They are five wins behind the Thunder, but they are the teams from sixth down. The difference between them is very small, seventh. The Hornets have the same record as the eighth Grizzlies, and the sixth Trail Blazers are only two wins away from these two teams.

However, the ninth Rockets are 4 games away from the eighth Grizzlies. The gap is still quite large under the current circumstances.

Not surprisingly, ~lightnovelpub.net~ This year's Rockets will be the lottery champion again.

In short, the gap between the upstream and downstream circles of the Western Conference playoffs is very obvious, and there is no threat to each other. The difference between the teams in the downstream and lottery areas of the playoffs is also very obvious. Basically, there is no team. Suddenly there is a five-game losing streak and a six-game losing streak, I am afraid this result will also be the final result of the top eight in the Western Conference!

In contrast, the situation in the East is very unclear, and as the schedule gets closer to the end, the ranking between third, fourth and fifth in the East has become increasingly anxious.

Currently ranked first in the East is the Bulls. They are 5 games behind the Knicks, the second in the East, and the Knicks are 3 games behind the Heat, the third in the East. Judging from the current situation, these two Only the team's ranking by the end of the season shouldn't change any more.

At present, the third-ranked Heat only lead the fourth-ranked Magic by 1.5 games, and the Magic leads the fifth-ranked Celtics by one.

The gap between these three teams, coupled with the mutual restraint between the top four in the Eastern Conference, makes the final ranking of the Eastern Conference even more exciting.
