Knicks vs. Magic preview: Brunson leads the home team to face the enemy, and the Knicks want to win six consecutive games
6686 Sports November 12th The regular season will continue tomorrow, and the Knicks will face the Magic at home.
So far this season, the Knicks have achieved a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference. After suffering a small trough of three consecutive losses in the early part of the season, the Knicks have stormed to the top of the Eastern Conference with a five-game winning streak. Today, the home team faced the Grizzlies. The Knicks defeated their opponents by 13 points. A total of three players in the team scored 20+ points. The star Brunson even scored 32 points and 10 assists. However, no one in the Grizzlies team scored 20 points.
In the first ten games of the new season, the Knicks averaged 121.8 points per game, ranking sixth in the league; they conceded only 112.7 points per game, ranking fifth in the league. Under the leadership of new coach Brown, the Knicks have become a team with a balanced offense and defense. With the running-in of subsequent games this season, I believe the Knicks' goal is not just to stop in the Eastern Conference, but to hit the finals and hit the championship.
On the other hand, the Magic currently only have a record of 5 wins and 6 losses, with a winning rate of less than 50%. At the beginning of the season, they suffered a four-game losing streak, and the team's performance has also recovered somewhat recently. In the last game against the Trail Blazers, the team finally relied on new aid Bane's extreme three-pointer to make the final shot for the Trail Blazers. However, in this game, the team only made 8 of 30 three-pointers, with a shooting rate of 26.7%.
In the first eleven games, the team's three-point shooting percentage was only 33.3%, ranking 24th in the league. Such sluggish three-point shooting may be somewhat lacking if the league wants to strive for a higher ranking. The team scores 115.9 points per game, ranking 18th in the league, and concedes 115.8 points per game, ranking 14th in the league. The team's offensive and defensive ends are not outstanding enough. After the large-scale introduction of Bain in the offseason, this performance obviously cannot meet the team's expectations.
The two teams met in this campaign, and neither side has announced the injury list for the time being. The Knicks' advantage over the Magic lies in the inside, and Towns' absolute strength may not be limited by the Magic. If the Magic want to win this game, they must try their best to limit the Knicks' ball-carrying core Brunson, and at the same time seize the three-point shot opportunity.
Let us wait and see whether the Knicks will win six games in a row at home, or the Magic will win two games in a row on the road!
