The conflict between James and Crowder gave fans another topic to talk about, but it did not have much impact on the outcome of the game.

Although Crowder was ejected, James also received a technical foul.

Moreover, Riley also took the opportunity to replace James and did not replace him on the court again.

From a certain perspective, the emergence of Crowder has given the Nets a role similar to a "thug" in the true sense.

If you want to play well, then play well. If you don't want to play, we can also send a role player to play with you.

This is different from Lin Ying, Deron and Chandler before, because the absence of any one of these three brothers will be a huge loss to the team's strength.

But Claude is obviously not.

So it can be understood why Karl used Claude long before Kirilenko was injured.

He usually arranges such a role in his team.

No, this is how Lin Ying came here in the first place.

116 to 89.

After the garbage time in the last quarter, the Nets defeated the Knicks by 27 points and won the Christmas game.

In terms of statistics, Wade scored a team-high 19 points for the Knicks, Bosh had 15 points and 6 rebounds, and James only scored 17 points.

For the Nets, Lin Ying made 8 three-pointers in three quarters, scoring a game-high 35 points.

Eight of these three-pointers broke his personal record for three-point goals in a single game.

He is even expected to hit the record of 12 three-pointers in a single game held by Kobe and Marshall.

If the Knicks hadn't lost too quickly...

On social media after the game, fans were already in high spirits.

"Avengers? That's it? Isn't it a shame?"

"Lin is so right, the script of the villain's victory is just beautiful!"

"I now suspect that the New York media is high-end black."

"+1, if you shout this slogan and win, you will say that if you lose, you will be thrown into the Mariana Trench."

"I don't know why, I'm not a Nets fan originally, but seeing the Nets win tonight feels inexplicably refreshing."

"How can I put it this way? Pretending to be cool requires strength. I'm especially looking forward to the scene when the Knicks fail to win the championship this year!"

"Come on, come on, let me know where the three giants of Kangkang will go!"

…

"Lin, they are vulnerable."

In the infirmary after the game, Delong was doing protective treatment and said to Lin Ying with a smile.

Originally, he was prepared for a tough fight, but now it's better, and he defeated the Knicks in the third quarter.

The Knicks, the league's No. 1 team, have a lot of water!

"Deron, remember one thing, never despise your opponent, because the moment you despise, you are not far from failure."

Lin Ying replied seriously.

This is not because he has grown up and is ambitious, but because tonight's game was accidental.

The biggest accident was his three-pointer.

Although his three-point ability is not bad, making 8 out of 8 shots is really a small probability event.

Even though the Nets won by almost 30 points in the end, if it weren't for this small probability event, the Nets would not have the advantage.

This can be seen from the scores of both sides in the first half.

Deron nodded, a big victory indeed made him underestimate the enemy.

Their goal is to defend their title, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"By the way, you are going to participate in the dunk contest, do you need me to be your assistant?"

Deron talked about the All-Star Game.

"No, I already have it."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

"Who?"

Deron said, turning his head and looking at Livingston beside him.

Livingston looked at the two of them curiously.

Obviously, it's not him.

"You'll know then."

Lin Ying also gave it a try.

Now that he has participated in the dunk contest, Lin Ying is fully prepared.

These days, he and his partner have started training for the dunk action, and it will be a nice surprise then.

He put on a whole show and agreed to Tatum, so of course he came up with the gimmick.

…

The Christmas Day war has come to an end, and the focus of fans has also shifted to voting for the All-Star Game.

The New York media "Avengers" failed, and now they are working hard to canvass votes for James.

After the first stage, James was undoubtedly behind Lin Ying.

Even though Stern has reduced the voting ratio in China, it is obvious that Lin Ying's influence now extends beyond China.

The number of his Twitter followers has soared exponentially in the past two years, not much less than James.

Coupled with those Chinese, even in North America, Lin Ying's number of fans is no less than that of James.

It is basically unrealistic to knock him out of the top spot.

Moreover, TNT publicly canvassed Lin Ying's votes this time and listed a lot of Lin Ying's season performance.

In addition, TMZ occasionally posts secret photos of Lin Ying and Swift's life, which makes the topic full.

This time, Lin Ying, not to mention the most popular vote, may break his previous record for the most popular vote in history.

Another very interesting thing is that Deron did not get many votes this year due to his holiday, and Lin Ying canvassed votes for him both on Twitter and in public.

As a result, Deron almost surpassed James in the second round of votes.

It's a pity that the media can't see James' expression, it must be very interesting.

…

It's late January.

Halfway through the season, most of the Eastern and Western divisions have been revealed.

In the East, the Knicks still rank first in the East with 36 wins and 5 losses, and are also first in the league.

Just as Lin Ying judged, this is where the Knicks' hard power lies.

And the disastrous defeat in the Christmas Day game was a wake-up call for Riley and the Knicks.

After that, they achieved a wave of 11 consecutive victories, which perfectly explained the saying "Failure is the mother of success".

The Nets are not far behind with a record of 33 wins and 8 losses.

Despite a slow start, the team quickly adjusted back to form.

Lin Ying currently ranks first in the league with an average of 30.6 points per game and is very likely to win the first scoring title in his career.

The Cavaliers ranked third with a record of 30 wins and 11 losses.

Just like Lin Ying's original view, the outside world thought the Cavaliers would perform well this season, but they didn't expect it to be that good.

The new general manager of the Cavaliers, David Griffin, played an important role.

The Pacers ranked fourth with a record of 28-13.

Granger's condition has been average since his return, and he has been in and out of games due to injuries.

James's original kick may have cut off the Pacers' upper limit.

According to the latest news, although the Pacers are reluctant to give up, they are likely to put Granger on the shelf.

The final year of Granger's contract is a team option, which means that this season is his contract year and he has certain prospects in the trade market.

The Celtics ranked fifth with 26 wins and 15 losses.

The Bulls ranked sixth with 24 wins and 17 losses.

Rose announced at the beginning of the season that he would miss the entire season, and Chicago's revival was stifled in the cradle by injuries time and time again.

The Raptors ranked seventh with 22 wins and 19 losses.
