After the All-Star Festival, it is clear that the pace of play of all teams has become more intense, and at the same time, the intensity has become greater.

Many teams are vying for playoff spots.

In the post-All-Star Game period, this situation will intensify.

And those in the top few are also striving to get higher rankings in order to have home court advantage and station advantage in the playoffs.

Because according to the rules of the playoffs, the higher-ranked teams will have a home advantage.

In the basketball game, the momentum of the home fans has a great bonus to the morale and play of the players.

In the history of the league, in countless playoff matches, many teams will be ravaged by opponents on the road, and when they get to the home court, they will hang their opponents.

Home and away performances are like a world of difference.

Therefore, holding home advantage is definitely a good situation.

In addition, the higher the ranking, the weaker the opponent encountered, which also has an advantage for saving physical strength and playing the next round of duels.

The Knicks, for example, almost locked in No. 1 in the league.

In the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Knicks will face the weakest 8th.

After playing the 8th place, the winner of the 4th and 5th places will be relatively weak.

If you are in the 2nd place, you will play between the 7th place and the 3rd and 6th place, so it is more difficult to win.

Because the opponent is stronger, even if you win, you will consume yourself more.

That’s why every team is fighting for a higher standing.

After the All-Star Game, the Knicks’ first game, 101-84, defeated the Washington Wizards.

At this stage, every team is desperately winning.

Lin Mo chose salted fish and paddling.

When encountering these weaker teams, Lin Mo’s playing time is reduced, and he will no longer try his best to play like at the beginning of the season.

As long as you can guarantee victory, keep plenty of energy to prepare for the playoffs.

Even if it’s nearly two months away from the playoffs.

In this game, Lin Mo shot 10 of 19 and scored 25 points.

Compared with Lin Mo’s average score of 40+ per game, 25 points will indeed be a big delay.

But!

As long as you can retain enough energy and state, bloody playoffs, impact the championship.

What does it matter if personal data drops a little?

Put a long line and catch big fish!

Lin Mo’s ultimate goal is not to create myths in the regular season, and when it comes to the playoffs, it will become a laughingstock.

The second game was against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were No. 1 in the West.

This season’s Timberwolves, led by Garnett and the alien Cassel, have a dazzling record.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who overpowered Super F4, are firmly at the top of the Western Conference list.

The Knicks currently have a record of 42 wins and 4 losses, while the Minnesota Timberwolves have a record of 36 wins and 9 losses.

Far less good than the Knicks, but it is definitely a super record.

In those 45 games, Kassel averaged 19.8 points per game, and Garnett averaged 23.6 points, 12.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game.

Very hot and all-round data!

For a big forward, being able to get such perfect statistics and a terrible record is definitely the peak of Garnett’s career.

Although no one thinks the Timberwolves can do the Lakers.

But this season’s Garnett led the Timberwolves, indeed a pack of hungry wolves, unstoppable.

Moreover, the Timberwolves’ defensive efficiency is also ranked in the top 5 in the league, and it is a fierce defensive team.

Having just made a visit to Minnesota, the Knicks players are a bit uncomfortable.

Coupled with Lin Mo’s intention to close the game, the first quarter led to the Knicks rout across the board, 21:28 in the single quarter, trailing by 7 points.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves came off the bench and extended the point difference to 13 points.

At halftime, the Knicks trailed by just 12 points at 44:56.

He scored just 44 points in the half, the lowest point set by the Knicks this season.

But in any game where Lin Mo played, the Knicks had never played so hard that they couldn’t get the ball into the basket anyway.

In the third quarter, Lin Mo began to erupt.

Although it is intentional to retain physical strength, it is based on ensuring that the team wins.

If you can’t even win the ball, then everything is said for nothing.

Lin Mo, who ushered in a violent walk, shot 5 of 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, and shot 9 of 11 to score 25 points.

With his own strength, he led the team to play a wave of 38:25 furious attack, leading the team to directly reverse 1 point.

Lin Mo’s score alone is equivalent to the Timberwolves’ total score for the entire quarter.

In the fourth quarter, although the Timberwolves played a 6:0 offensive at one point.

But after turning on the god-killing state, Lin Mo couldn’t even stop Garnett.

Lin Mo first singled out Yan to shoot Garnett, and then completed the steal on the defensive end, and the fast attack was met by Garnett, leading the team to set off a counterattack horn

In the last minute, Lin Mo soared into a three-pointer to extend the score to 5 points, an absolutely safe score.

In the end, Garnett scored a layup, but the Knicks were still in the lead.

In desperation, the Timberwolves can only start fouling tactics.

With Lin Mo hitting 4 consecutive free throws, and in turn the Timberwolves hit two consecutive three-pointers, the game ended.

At home of the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Knicks 107-102, took away a win.

In this battle for the top of the East-West list, the laughter came to the end.

Even though Garnett lost very unconvinced, he hugged Lin Mo after the game.

It can only be said that Lin Mo relied on his super ability to subdue Garnett, who has always been arrogant.

The Wolf King’s trash words, fierceness, and arrogance are definitely the top of the league.

No opponent could convince him, Lin Mo was definitely alone.

After the victory over the Timberwolves, it means that Lin Mo has completed the sweep of 27 teams in the league.

The only team that didn’t win was the Celtics.

In the next game, the Knicks will be away to Boston’s North Shore Garden Arena to face the Green Army.

And for the rest of the regular season, the Knicks will have to play against the Green Army several times.

For the first encounter between the Knicks and the Celtics, the Green Army attached great importance to it, and invited a large number of Celtic celebrities to watch the game on the sidelines.
