8 shots, 18+11! The second place in the 18th round defeated the Knicks, the Wizards found Bill s successor? The White Devils have no chance

On October 14th, the NBA preseason continued. Today, the Knicks faced the challenge of the Wizards at home. The Knicks did not let their core players play in this game, and the team's main substitute rotation all played. This is also the best time to test their substitute firepower. Facing the young Wizards, I thought the two sides would play back and forth, but it turned out to be one-sided. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the performance of the players.

Game review:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Dadier scored two three-pointers to help the Knicks take the lead. Trey Johnson and Barkley scored 5 points together to open up the Wizards. They led the team to respond with a wave of 10 At the climax of -3, Clarkson responded with a mid-range shot, Barkley scored 4 points in a row, and Yabusele responded with a three-pointer. The Wizards relied on better offensive firepower to further expand their lead. At the end of the quarter, with Vukcevic hitting a three-pointer, the Wizards led by 10 points to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Kolek made two free throws to help the Knicks narrow the point difference. Kispotri responded with 5 consecutive points from outside. Whitmore and Vukcevic scored one after another. The Wizards directly extended their lead to 15 points. Ryan and Dadier Led the Knicks to a small climax and caught up to only 8 points away. I thought the Knicks were going to counterattack, but their offense was once again powered off. Trey Johnson and Bagley led the Wizards to an offensive climax. At the end of the half, the Wizards were already leading by 23 points.

Riley hit a three-pointer to help the Wizards expand their lead. Because they played so well in the first half, Tre Johnson and Carrington did not play in the second half. Under such circumstances, I thought the Knicks They were able to seize the opportunity to counterattack, but the point difference became wider and wider. Riley scored 9 points in a row, leading the Wizards to expand their lead to 36 points. Afterwards, the Knicks relied on the performance of Kolek and McBride to catch up to 25 points behind to end the third quarter.

The Knicks still didn't want to give up in the final battle. They once chased to only 19 points, but then the Wizards stabilized the situation under the leadership of Bagley. In the end, they defeated the Knicks 120-103.

The performance of the Knicks' two Super Six players was sluggish

The performance of the Knicks' two Super Six players in this campaign was not satisfactory. Clarkson made 4 of 11 shots from the field and 2 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 12 points and 1 rebound. There were 4 turnovers in the game. Clarkson is too smart a player, and as he grows older, he no longer has the firepower he had at his peak. Although he can provide firepower support to the Knicks bench in the new season, don't expect him to return to the level he had at his peak.

Brogdon made 2 of 7 shots and scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Due to injuries, Brogdon's performance is unstable now, but he has a passing hand that can drive the team. When Brunson is off the court, he can serve as the team's organizer.

But with their experience and immediate combat ability, the Knicks' offensive firepower is indeed stronger than last season. Hart may also enter the starting lineup this season, because Mike Brown wants to play the twin towers and let Towns return to the fourth position, so that the team's starting defense will be better. If Hart also enters the bench, then the Knicks' 10-man rotation will be too extravagant. They also have a substitute general McBride who started this campaign and scored 11 points and 2 assists.

Bagley is on full fire

The best performer for the Wizards in this campaign was Barkley. He made 7 of 8 shots and scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The offensive talent of this second place player is visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for injuries, he would probably have a big contract now. Back then, he was the template for Durant and Bosh. After watching this game, some fans suggested that the Lakers take Barkley to form the top three picks in the 18th class. To be honest, the Lakers will not take him.

Bagley is indeed good, but he is too brittle and often injured. Otherwise, he would not be holding a minimum salary contract now. The Lakers thought he was too brittle at first, let alone Bagley. Bagley played a total of 31 games last season. This season is the eighth season of his career, and he has only played a total of 289 games. Do you think a championship team would want such a player? Obviously not. The Wizards' substitute center Vukcevic also performed well in this campaign, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. He will play more minutes than Bagley in the future.

Tre Johnson finally broke out in this campaign. He played 13 minutes, made 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 10 points and 3 assists. However, the White Devils still didn't get enough opportunities after joining the Wizards. In this campaign, he scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-4 shooting. The efficiency was very high, but the coach only allowed him to play 9 minutes without giving him a chance.
