A week after Bai Feng scored 24 points and 18 assists, the American fans 'enthusiasm for the rookie gradually cooled down. People began to think about a question: "This might just be a flash in the pan.”
That's right, the fans now believed that whether it was Bai Feng's outburst or the Knicks 'unexpected defeat of the Western Conference powerhouse, the Nuggets, it was just a coincidence.
Since then, they had lost three games in a row.
They lost to the Mavericks by a large margin.
When he encountered the Spurs, he was beaten until he had no strength to fight back.
Against the defending champion, the Los Angeles Clippers, there was no way to deal with it.
In these three games, Bai Feng's stats were around 15 points and 5 assists.
Admittedly, these three teams were probably the strongest teams in the Western Conference. They were much stronger than the Nuggets. The Knicks were playing away, so it was reasonable to lose to them.
However, because the victory over the Nuggets was so eye-catching, the fans had unlimited expectations.
As the saying went," The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment." When everyone found out that the Knicks were still the original Knicks and Bai Feng was still the same Bai Feng, they were naturally disappointed.
……
The Knicks 'nightmare trip to the Western Conference was finally over. They met the strong teams in the Western Conference for four consecutive games, which made them feel the so-called " strong in the West and weak in the East."
Even though they had relied on a big outburst to win against the Nuggets, when the team returned to normal and faced the top teams in the Western Conference like the Mavericks, Spurs, and the Los Angeles Clippers, they were simply crushed.
These three teams had mature tactical systems and reasonable configuration. In addition, each of them had a top star player. Even if they played casually in the regular season, their perfect tactical quality could make the Knicks complain endlessly.
In such a matchup, Stoudemire, who could often score 30 10, was completely out of action. In two of the three games, he did not score more than 20 points. He scored 28 points against the Spurs, probably because he had a psychological advantage against Duncan.
Although Bai Feng only had an average of 15 5 per game, which was completely different from the explosive performance of the Nuggets, in fact, his data had slightly improved compared to before, and his efficiency had not decreased much.
Of course, most of the fans and even the media only used titles like " epiphyllum " and " eating dumplings " to flaunt him.
However, the Nuggets 'stats analysts and scouting team came up with a shocking conclusion after careful analysis!
"Bai Feng's ability to resist setbacks and his growth speed are stronger than we imagined!”
"That's right. When he met the Mavericks, he encountered a lot of trouble in front of Kidd. The experienced Jason Kidd made him no longer as calm and stable on the court as before, and he made a lot of mistakes…But after that game, he immediately adjusted.”
"No wonder the Knicks treated him like a treasure and refused to trade him!”
"It's really rare to see a player who doesn't show his strength unless you carefully analyze the high-level data!”
……
Ever since the Knicks played against the Nuggets, the Nuggets team had developed a strong interest in Bai Feng and continued to pay attention to him.
They discovered Bai Feng's advantage. He was originally a rookie of the Knicks. During his rookie period, unless the Knicks traded, no one could snatch him away.
But now, the Knicks and Nuggets were discussing Anthony's trade, so they could use it to threaten the Knicks.
……
It had begun to snow in New York, and the temperature dropped rapidly. The winter here was very cold, but the enthusiasm of the fans did not cool down.
A team that was third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference had either lost or was on the way to losing this season. It was quite rare for them to have so many fanatical fans and fill up the entire madison square garden with every game.
In the entire NBA, other than the New York Knicks, the only team that could do this at home was the Los Angeles Clippers.
Of course, aside from the huge exposure of the Knicks 'home stadium, the New York Knicks were still losing this season, but the fans' enthusiasm for the game and the team itself had greatly improved compared to last season.
After the All-Star center, Amare Stoudemire, came here, he displayed his passion and dominance perfectly. His statistics of nearly 30 points and 11 rebounded per game even gave him hope to compete for the scoring title.
However, as the Knicks continued to play against strong teams, Stoudemire's average score per game was rapidly declining.
However, this did not affect the fans 'love for him. After all, this team had not had an All-Star starting player for many years.
In addition, the handsome rookie player Bai Feng was also the focus of the fans.
……
On this day, the lights in the garden were still brilliant. Tonight, they would welcome a powerful opponent, the Miami Heat.
The competition had not even started, but the stadium was already almost full.
The players had not even started warming up before the game, but the live event had already begun.
On the VIP seats on the sidelines, a beautiful face that the fans were familiar with and loved appeared.
Taylor Swift, affectionately known to her fans as " Mildew," was back today, the Knicks 'most loyal new star in the music scene!
