Chapter 93 The New York Gang
In the entire history of the NBA, there have only been 7 games with 25+ assists in a single game, and Stockton alone accounted for three of them.
What is more embarrassing is that in the three games with 25+ assists in a single game, Stockton only won the one with 8 steals, and lost the remaining two games.
This was also the only game lost in seven games...
Many times when a player gets 25+ assists, the game is actually difficult to lose.
Skiles, Stockton, Nate McMillan, Kevin Johnson, and Jason Kidd are the five who contributed 25+ assists in seven games.
The most recent game was played by Kidd in 1996. It was with this game that Kidd directly became the team's point guard at a historical level.
In Jiang Dongbing's memory, Rondo once had 25 assists in a single game, but Rondo refused to shoot. His final statistics in that game were 2 points, 7 rebounds and 25 assists.
These players are all people who can leave a strong mark in the history of point guards, and Jiang Dongbing now wants Billups to be one of them.
When they heard that Jiang Dongbing wanted Billups to score more than 20 points and 25 assists in a single game, everyone gasped. This goal was too difficult.
"Coach, can I really do this?" Even Billups himself couldn't believe it, feeling that such data was too far away from him.
Jiang Dongbing smiled and shook his head, "Only one knows if you can do it, but if you can't do it in one game, we'll just wait for the next one."
"After all, there is a game where all your teammates have great hands. You pass the ball, they catch the ball and shoot and they all hit."
Billups nodded. If his teammates really cooperated fully and their hands were very good, then 25 assists in a single game would not be that difficult.
The data of assists is actually quite passive. It does not mean that a player with good organizational skills will be able to get a lot of assists.
First of all, the scoring ability of teammates must be strong enough. If teammates are players like Ben, they can't score points even if they pass the ball. How can they get assists?
Secondly, it requires the cooperation of the coach's tactical system. If there is no player in the tactical system who can catch the ball and shoot without the ball, it will be extremely difficult to get a lot of assists.
And if the teammates are strong enough and have tactical support, then it is not difficult to get assists. As long as the point guard can control the ball and pass it out, assists are absolutely indispensable.
Therefore, assist data is easy to say and difficult to say.
Now the Grizzlies have strong players and the tactical support of the coach, so if Billups wants to get assists, it is actually not that difficult.
…
"Play with peace of mind. The coach said that you are the protagonist of this game and no one can steal your limelight."
"When it's my turn to collect data in the future, remember to repay me well." After coming on the stage, Jackson smiled at Billups.
Billups nodded solemnly. Since entering the league, he has finally found some feeling of home in the Grizzlies.
In his rookie season, he first played in Green Kai and was almost cheated by his teammate Fat Tou Tuo. He was sold to Toronto before he could finish his rookie season.
I originally thought I could settle down in Toronto, but it didn't take long before I was sold.
Now that he has come to this Grizzlies team, although Jiang Dongbing's attitude towards him is not so gentle, Billups knows very well that Jiang Dongbing actually takes good care of him and gives him many opportunities.
In this Grizzlies team, Billups has found a home, and if possible, he is willing to stay in Vancouver.
The referee blew the whistle and the game officially started.
In the first offensive round, Jackson frantically helped Billups get stuck, allowing Billups to comfortably get a chance to pick up the basket and successfully score two points.
In the second offensive round, Billups passed the ball to Christie, who was waiting on the outside and was open, and the latter helped Billups get an assist.
After a few minutes of playing, the situation was developing exactly as Jiang Dongbing imagined. As long as Jackson and others on the court didn't feel too bad, Billups's data couldn't be bad.
At the end of the first quarter, Billups played for 11 consecutive minutes and his statistics were overwhelming. He already scored an astonishing 8 points and 8 assists. The Grizzlies also established a clear advantage on the court.
Speaking of which, the Knicks' lineup is extremely luxurious, and at least the players are quite big-name.
There is a gorilla Ewing at the center position. Although Ewing has now entered the end of his career, last season Ewing still averaged 20+10 per game and averaged 2.2 blocks per game. He still has strength.
.
In addition to Ewing, Marcus Camby, the second overall pick in 1996, plays the backup center on this Knicks team...
Camby is not a parallel import, and his shot-blocking ability is definitely at a historical level. He even averaged 3.7 blocks per game last season, which is quite astonishing.
But such an inside player who seems to have unlimited potential can only play as a substitute for the Knicks.
Madman Sprewell, mid-range shooting king Alan Houston, aunt Larry Johnson and Kurt Thomas are also very capable.
But with such a lineup, the Knicks just can't produce a record that matches the lineup. It seems that the Knicks' players' graves are absolutely correct.
Over the years, the wealthy Knicks have actually spent more money than anyone else, but their record has been half-dead.
…
At the beginning of the second quarter, Billups was immediately sent on the court again.
The Knicks are actually starting to show signs of collapse. Although their lineup is good, there are too many veterans. Under the impact of the new force Grizzlies, the disadvantages of the aging team have gradually been revealed.
Under the huge disadvantage, the Knicks players began to become a little impatient. The name of the New York gang was not just blown away, and their defensive actions were getting bigger and bigger.
Jiang Dongbing frowned and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
When it comes to the most trouble-making team in the league, I'm afraid the Knicks can't be ranked among the top three. In their team history, there has never been an incident like beating the crowd at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and they have been involved in all other vicious incidents.
Fans must know that the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills is the most severely punished brawl in NBA history, and the second most serious incident in history happened to the Knicks, known as the Nuggets-Knicks Brawl.
This brawl happened in 2006. The reason was that the Nuggets still let Melo Anthony, who was playing for the Nuggets at the time, stay on the court to brush up data when the game entered garbage time. As a result, this made the Knicks coach Smiling Assassin Thomas so angry that he directly
A huge fight broke out.
Interestingly, on the third day after the brawl, the Nuggets traded Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers in the face of widespread player suspensions, creating a golden double backcourt for the Nuggets.
