Knicks' OG Anunoby has ascended to an All-Star level after career-high 40 points in win over Nuggets

OG Anunoby is known for his defense. That’s what tends to happen when you make an All-Defensive team and win a steals title, and he hasn’t missed a beat since joining the New York Knicks. He leads all perimeter players with 7.4 contested shots per game, and he’s sixth among all NBA players with 3.9 deflections per game. Stop the conversation right here and Anunoby is already more than earning his keep in New York, but he’s always felt he deserved more credit.

“I always prided myself on being a two-way player, not just a defender,” Anunoby recently told The Athletic’s James Edwards. 

Sure, a small facet of his offense would be lumped into the description when he was listed among the NBA’s elite 3-and-D players, but it remained extremely reductive. Anunoby has long been capable of more, and reporting throughout the end of his tenure with the Toronto Raptors suggested he’s been aiming to prove it.

Monday was an exclamation point on Anunoby’s season-long prove-it tour. In a 145-118 decimation of the Denver Nuggets, Anunoby scored a career-high 40 points on 16-of-23 shooting. Those numbers weren’t just accumulated through the sort of traditional role player shots that have been expected of him. Of his five 3-pointers, only two came in the corners. That has more or less held with his overall rate this season. 

Entering this season, 43.4% of his 3s came in the corners, the shortest and easiest triples on the court. When he arrived in New York last season, that number bolted up to 58.7% in his 23 regular-season games with the Knicks. He’s down to a 34.7% corner rate this season. On Monday, he shot 11-of-16 inside of the arc, killing Denver in the paint and as a midrange shooter. That rim rate has soared since he became a Knick. In Toronto, only 31.5% of his shots came within three feet of the basket. He’s just a hair below 35% as a Knick.

That versatility as a shot maker has been on display all season. Pick an area of the court and his heat map is bright red. Anunoby is making over 70% of his restricted area attempts, nearly 42% of his midrange looks and almost 43% of his above-the-break 3s. He’s on pace to set a new career-high in in free-throw attempts, and he’s even recovered as many loose balls on offense as Josh Hart, who is perpetually among the league leaders on that front. The best part? He’s doing all of this without dribbling. On average, he dribbles only 1.07 times per touch, trailing only Karl-Anthony Towns, a center, within the Knicks’ core rotation, and he holds the ball on average for just 1.92 seconds per touch, the lowest figure among that group.

That’s the beauty of this low-maintenance masterpiece of a season Anunoby is having on offense. The Knicks don’t need to call plays for him. He’s taken only four shots out of isolation all season, according to Synergy Sports. Everything is within the flow of the offense, and everything is working. Defenses overcommitting to Towns and Jalen Brunson? Great, Anunoby is averaging 1.68 points per possession off of cuts. That ranks in the 90th percentile league-wide. He also ranks in the 90th percentile in terms of post-up efficiency, scoring 1.278 points per possession there because he almost exclusively uses the post to punish the mismatches his more famous teammates create. He’s running the court so well that he leads the Knicks in fast-break points comfortably. He doesn’t dribble much, but if you overcommit to a closeout behind the arc? He’ll put the ball on the deck and dunk your poor, out-of-position center into oblivion.

These aren’t the traits of a player who can be defined exclusively by his defense, and that’s because Anunoby has evolved well beyond that. He’s not even a 3-and-D player anymore. It’s time to start fitting him for a new, loftier label: All-Star.

The Knicks already have two of those in Brunson and Towns, but Anunoby has been more consistent than either this season. Their defensive vulnerabilities have been a major problem for the 23rd-ranked Knicks. Anunoby is one of the few players holding them together at all on that front. Those two may create the bulk of New York’s shots, but Anunoby is finishing more than his fair share of them, and his ability to do so without demanding touches or play calls that might otherwise take the stars out of their rhythm is vital.

The raw numbers will work against Anunoby on the All-Star front. It’s rare that 19-point scorers make the cut, but not unprecedented. This decade alone, there have been 15 All-Stars chosen averaging fewer points than Anunoby currently is. Almost all of them, like Anunoby, were defensive stars who found ways to thrive in low-usage offensive roles. Most of those players were centers, but the East’s crop of wings is relatively weak so far this season. 

Jaylen Brown is off to his least efficient shooting start ever. Paul George has barely played and Khris Middleton hasn’t even debuted. Paolo Banchero’s injury absence may take him out of the running. The only locks among Eastern Conference forwards at the moment are probably Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Evan Mobley. Anunoby has compelling arguments over just about everyone else.

Whether he gets the call in February or not, Anunoby has, if nothing else, shed any accusations that he is merely a defender. The Knicks are obviously thrilled with what he brings on that end of the floor every night, but so far this season, he’s been just as important to one of the league’s best offenses as well.

Taiwan detecta dezenas de aeronaves chinesas perto da ilha | Notícias militares

Os jatos chineses dizem ao navio de guerra canadense que transita pelo Estreito de Taiwan para mudar de rumo.

Taiwan detectou 24 aeronaves militares chinesas perto da ilha quando um navio de guerra canadense passou pelo sensível estreito de Taiwan, diz o Ministério da Defesa Nacional de Taiwan.

As aeronaves chinesas incluíam caças e drones e foram vistos no domingo, realizando “patrulhas de prontidão conjunta de combate” com navios militares em torno de Taiwan, informou o ministério em comunicado.

Os militares da China transmitiram a fragata canadense, transitando pelo Estreito de Taiwan e o alertou para mudar de curso, informou a Media de Taiwan.

A fragata da classe Halifax HMCS Ottawa foi o primeiro navio naval canadense a transitar a hidrovia este ano, disse o Ministério das Relações Exteriores de Taiwan. Seu trânsito veio dias depois Dois navios dos Estados Unidosum destruidor naval e um navio de pesquisa, fizeram a passagem.

Os EUA e seus aliados passam regularmente pelo Estreito de Taiwan de 180 km (112 milhas) para reforçar seu status de hidrovia internacional, irritando a China.

O navio Destruidor e Ocean Survey dos EUA viajou pelo Estreito a partir de segunda -feira, atraindo críticas das forças armadas da China, que disse que enviou o “sinal errado e aumento dos riscos de segurança”.

Os dados publicados pelo Ministério da Defesa de Taiwan mostraram que 62 aeronaves militares chinesas foram detectadas perto da ilha nas 48 horas até as 6h da quarta -feira (22:00 GMT na terça -feira), coincidindo com o trânsito dos navios dos EUA.

A última passagem de Washington pelo Estreito de Taiwan foi a primeira vez desde que o presidente dos EUA, Donald Trump, assumiu o cargo em janeiro.

Ele veio depois que Trump e o primeiro -ministro japonês Shigeru Ishiba disseram que “se opuseram a qualquer tentativa de alterar unilateralmente o status quo (no estreito de Taiwan) por força ou coerção”.

‘Diferenças cruzadas’ a serem resolvidas pacificamente

Os EUA, como a maioria dos países, não têm laços diplomáticos formais com Taiwan, mas é o seu mais forte patrocinador internacional e fornece ajuda militar à ilha para ajudá -la a manter suas capacidades de defesa.

Embora Trump tenha enervado Taiwan desde que assumiu o cargo com as críticas ao domínio de Taiwan em fazer semicondutores, seu governo também ofereceu fortes palavras de apoio.

O governo de Taiwan rejeita as reivindicações de soberania de Pequim sobre a ilha e diz que apenas o povo de Taiwan pode decidir seu futuro. Taiwan diz É um país independente chamado República da China.

Pequim descreve Taiwan como seu “núcleo de interesses centrais”, denunciando regularmente qualquer demonstração de apoio a Taipei de Washington.

Na quinta -feira, o Departamento de Estado dos EUA removeu um comunicado em seu site que afirmou que não suporta a independência de Taiwan.

Também foi adicionada uma referência à página da web sobre a cooperação de Taiwan com um projeto de desenvolvimento de tecnologia e semicondutores do Pentágono, e diz que os EUA apoiarão a participação de Taiwan a organizações internacionais “onde aplicável”.

“Nós nos opomos a quaisquer alterações unilaterais no status quo de ambos os lados”, diz o site do Departamento de Estado atualizado.

“Esperamos que as diferenças cruzadas sejam resolvidas por meios pacíficos, livres de coerção, de uma maneira aceitável para as pessoas de ambos os lados do estreito (de Taiwan)”.

O ministro das Relações Exteriores de Taiwan, Lin Chia-Lung, “recebeu o apoio e a posição positiva nas relações EUA-Taiwan demonstradas no conteúdo relevante” do site, informou seu ministério em comunicado neste domingo.

As mudanças no idioma foram relatadas pela primeira vez pela agência de notícias central oficial de Taiwan no domingo.

A redação na independência de Taiwan também foi removida em 2022 antes de ser restaurada um mês depois.

A cidade alemã atrai os eleitores eleitorais antecipados com cerveja grátis – DW – 15/02/2025

A cidade alemã atrai os eleitores eleitorais antecipados com cerveja grátis - DW - 15/02/2025

A cidade de Duisburg no oeste Alemanha criou uma maneira pouco ortodoxa de atrair eleitores relutantes para a assembleia de voto.

Os eleitores que votaram ausentes no centro da cidade até as 14h, horário local (1300 GMT), no sábado receberam um voucher para uma bebida gastar em um carrinho de cerveja ao lado da estação de votação.

O voucher também pode ser usado para uma bebida não alcoólica. Uma cervejaria local está apoiando o projeto incomum, disseram autoridades de Duisburg.

De acordo com um repórter da agência de notícias da DPA alemã no local, cerca de 80 eleitores apareceram na primeira hora para aproveitar a oferta.

Concentre -se na Europa – Alemanha antes das eleições

História de baixa participação de eleitores

De acordo com o oficial da eleição de Duisburg, Martin Murrack, o norte da cidade historicamente teve baixa participação de eleitores.

Nas eleições federais de 2021, por exemplo, apenas 63,3% dos eleitores do distrito eleitoral de Duisburg II apareceram para votar, em comparação com uma média nacional de 76,6%.

“Com esta campanha incomum, nossos carnavais garantem que a eleição federal seja mais uma vez no centro das atenções. Também agrada a cidadãos que não são persuadidos a votar pelos pôsteres ou campanhas de informação usuais”, disse Murrack, descrevendo -o como “um Benefício claro para a participação dos eleitores e, portanto, para nossa democracia! “

Os alemães irão às pesquisas em 23 de fevereiro para votar em Eleições parlamentares ofuscado pelo retorno do presidente dos EUA Donald Trump para a Casa Branca, bem como um debate acalorado sobre migração em casa.
