Because on the day the Knicks beat the 76ers, the Magic lost back-to-back away games to the Denver Nuggets.

Eastern Division standings—

1. Cleveland Cavaliers (30 wins and 10 losses).

2. Boston Celtics (27-10).

3. New York Knicks (27 wins and 11 losses).

4. Orlando Magic (26 wins and 12 losses).

5. Atlanta Hawks (25 wins and 13 losses).

6. Miami Heat (19-18).

7. Charlotte Bobcats (17 wins and 19 losses).

8. Chicago Bulls (16-20).

This season, the rankings of the Knicks and Bobcats exceeded the expectations of the media and fans, especially the rise of the Knicks is too fast. The Knicks seem to be rebuilding overnight. If Lian Dao Can lead the Knicks back to the playoffs in his rookie season, then Lian Dao is the third rookie to achieve this achievement after Anthony and Derrick Rose.

The competition in January is proceeding in such an orderly manner.

On January 21, the nba official website announced the list of starting lineups for the East and West in the 2010 Dallas All-Star Game. As expected, Lian Dao won the All-Star vote with 3,789,572 votes.

The result of this vote also broke the highest record of NBA votes, and at the same time surpassed the previous All-Star vote king Dwight Howard by more than 630,000 votes.

LeBron James finished second in the East with 2,549,693 votes.

Kobe Bryant ranks third in the league and first in the West.

The Eastern and Western All-Star starting lineups for the 2010 All-Star Game are:

East: Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Lian Dao, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard

West: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, Amare Stoudemire.

The All-Star starting lineup has been released. Although many people had expected that Lian Dao would enter the All-Star starting lineup in his rookie season, everyone did not expect that Lian Dao would rush so hard. It can be said that Lian Dao's record-breaking votes scare to all.

Even David Stern was a little surprised after getting the votes for Lian Dao. You must know that because Yi Jianlian was almost voted into the All-Star starter by Chinese fans before, Stern has diluted a large part of the Chinese team in proportion. Fan votes.

But what is different about Lian Dao is that he also has a large fan base in the United States, so the votes are also very high. Even if a large part of the Chinese votes were diluted, Lian Dao still got more than 3.78 million votes.

The assistant also asked whether to intervene. Nike did not want Lian Dao to win the All-Star vote. What they wanted most was James to win the vote. That would maximize Nike's interests. After thinking about it, Stern still had no choice Intervene.

The main reason is Yao Ming's successive injuries. Yi Jianlian is not enough to support the Chinese market. Stern needs to find a star to replace Yao Ming to support the Chinese market. At present, Lian Dao is the most suitable one, and from this season Lian Dao Judging from the number one scoring average per game and the results of leading the team, Lian Dao deserves the title of the All-Star vote champion.

Regarding this result, some fans in the United States still expressed dissatisfaction. They believed that most of the votes for Lian Dao came from China, and some media also used this to fan the flames, thinking that Lian Dao was opportunistic.

However, some fans refuted this statement. From the comparison of Lian Dao's average points per game and team leadership results, they all believed that Lian Dao's ability to win the vote was due to his strength and the expectations of the fans.

Lian Dao’s questioning of the media is not only ridiculed, but the United States is like this. On the surface, they claim that everyone is equal and call for so-called human rights. In fact, in the hearts of Americans, it is white supremacy, especially the Chinese or Chinese who have made outstanding achievements. Sometimes, some media will jump out to question.

These so-called expert media obviously have deep discrimination against Chinese people, but this is not surprising. Since Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian joined the nba, the phenomenon of "Yao Hei" and "Yi Hei" can be seen everywhere, from time to time Some foreign so-called experts stepped up to criticize.

But what makes people very incomprehensible is that some Chinese people are also bewitched and follow the rhythm on social platforms.

On January 22, the Knicks played against the Lakers at home. This was the second game against the Lakers this season. Unfortunately, the Knicks still lost this time. Lian Dao did not rest in this game and played 53 minutes.

That's right, in 53 minutes, the Knicks were still in the lead in the first three quarters, but not by many, but they were able to maintain between 5-8 points.

But in the fourth quarter, Pau Gasol broke out. When the shooting percentages of both teams fell seriously, Pau Gasol opened the situation first, and Kobe attracted a lot of attention from the Knicks on the outside. The whole league knows , Kobe is crazy in the fourth quarter. Others are in the fourth quarter because of physical reasons. First.

The Knicks did not dare to relax their defense against Kobe. The Spaniard seized the opportunity to single out David Lee. His height and wingspan and all-around offensive methods allowed him to easily shoot over David Lee. The nimble footwork beat Millsap, and the Knicks' two insiders couldn't get any advantage against Gasol.

In the last 10 seconds, the score difference between the Knicks and the Lakers was only a three-pointer. What's worse is that this is still the Lakers' possession. , then the game will be won at home, otherwise, it will enter overtime, and it is very likely that the game will be lost by then.

In the last attack, the Knicks gave up all the inside defense and only blocked the Lakers' outside line. To be honest, they only need to block Kobe. As a famous paranoid, Kobe will definitely execute the last attack.

It's one thing to know who executes it, but it's another thing to be able to defend it. Unfortunately, the Knicks failed to defend it. Lian Dao and Wilson Chandler have already put their hands on Kobe's face, but the three-point line Surgical Bryant's back angle was too large, almost 45°. After the shot, Kobe fell flat on the floor and slid out.

Lian Dao turned around and watched the basketball slide into the hoop when the full time was up, and shook his head helplessly.

Reaching out to help Kobe up, the two hugged each other and walked to their team's bench.

Hit overtime!

In overtime, the Knicks' shooting percentage dropped further. Lian Dao's physical crisis, which hadn't happened for a long time, reappeared in overtime. On the Lakers side, Odom and Bynum played in overtime. In a wave of 7:0, although Lian Dao kept rushing to shoot three-pointers from the outside, his shooting percentage dropped seriously. He made 1 of 4 shots and was unable to recover in the end.

The overall score was 115:120.

Lian Dao scored the highest score of 48 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a triple-double record. The Knicks besides Lian Dao's highest scorer was David Lee, who scored a double-double record of 24 points, 13 rebounds and the most assists. It was Holiday, who scored 13 points but sent 17 assists.

Millsap was severely restricted by Paul Gasol in this game. In the duel between the two Pauls, Millsap still fell behind in the end. Millsap scored 8 points and 6 rebounds in the game.

For the Lakers, Kobe scored 41 points, the second highest score in the game, but he sent 11 assists in this game, and the biggest beneficiary was Gasol, who scored 28 points and 15 rebounds. A large double pair.

In the post-match press conference, the media deliberately challenged Kobe on the All-Star ballot.

"What do you think about Sickle winning the All-Star vote by more than 1 million votes?"

From this question, you can see the provocative heart of the media~www.innread.com~ I have no opinion, these votes are cast by the fans themselves, they will vote for which player they want to see in the All-Star Who to vote for, and, I don't think there is any problem with Sickle's current results, winning the All-Star vote. "

Kobe's answer obviously disappointed the media in the audience. They didn't want to see a harmonious NBA. On the contrary, they hoped to see Kobe say after the game that "Liandao only has a large fan base in China".

For the Knicks, of course, the New York media will not embarrass Lian Dao. Although they lost the game, the opponent is the defending champion. They played against the defending champion until overtime before deciding the winner. , This was something that was unimaginable before. They had only been beaten by the Los Angeles Lakers before.

You still want to take the lead and eat ass, let alone fight to overtime.
