OG Anunoby, who trends in the right direction, makes history in two nights

OG Anunoby's term was a kink, told the least, interesting. The team is clear and very much better when it plays and he is obvious through its 55-22 regular season record since trade here last season. He is generally considered one of the best defenders in the league. And his shootout offers Jalen Brunson an urgently needed distance. But from time to time, Anunoby wants fans more, which is fair in view of his recently signed contract of 212.5 million US dollars. His inconsistencies on the offensive side and lack of creation were exhibited this season and his, and his Average From 16.2 ppg, 4.7 RPG and 2.1APG to only 36.4% shoot from three, in a way feel like a step backwards, especially because he started the season like a potential all-star.

These concerns have been louder in the past few weeks when Anunoby, who finally recaptured his offensive form from the start in the season, went on a foot injury before the All Star break. And when he came back, it wasn't what the fans wanted to see or what the kinks needed. In his first two games since his almost three -week absence Anunoby average Only 7.5 ppg and shot a combined 4-13 from the floor and 3-9 of three. These cruel performance was worsened by the fact that the Knicks lost both games to the Cavaliers and the Celtics to fall 0: 7 against the three best teams in the league this season.

But in his last two games, Anunoby not only looked like the player from the past this season, but like the player that the Knicks only made a massive contract last summer. In the victory of the Knicks against the Grizzlies, Anunoby and Brunson and Deice McBride, who scored 23 points and 17 points, had the best player for New York. The starting force of the Knicks scored 19 points in 7-17 shooting, but what is even more important, he went 4-10 out of three and nailed the game with three, which was remarkable First start program three-pointer from a kink if it was even less than 10 seconds in front of two parts since 2012.

And less than 48 hours later Anunoby appeared by maybe having his best all-round game of the season. The kinks came sloppy and slowly against the heat and went down 19 points. And when they did it, it was Anunoby's relentless defenders and determination that not only the Knicks were brought back in the game, but also achieved an urgently needed victory against an inferior Miami team. Anunoby, who was solid all season all season all season, reminded the fans that he is not just a good defender, but an elite defender, while he registered 23 points, nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals from the field and 4: 9 shooting from three steals. And as if Anunoby was again as if it wasn't enough to write the story on Friday evening and was exactly that Second kink to score more than 20 points, and Swat 3+ recordings, while he shoots 50% from the field, and 40% of three since 2017.

Anunoby will put on an offensive guy from time to time, and he will probably never become a consistent offensive creator. It's just not his game and it is also difficult for him to become one if he is the third and sometimes even the fourth option. But the last two games from Anunoby were incredibly encouraging. The performance of the last night was one of the most inspiring all-round championships by a Knicks player this season. If we want to read into these two games and the seven games for his injury, in which he was 19.1ppg at 50/45/80 divisions, this could mean that Anunoby has regained his legs and is prepared to serve the season strongly.
