With their outstanding performance in the preseason, the Knicks ranked 11th on the NBA's first official strength rankings, a new high for the team in recent years. What is more exaggerated is that only the Cavaliers and Magic in the Eastern Conference ranked among the top ten.

The other eight teams are all Western Conference teams, which shows that the league also recognizes the current pattern of "strong in the west and weak in the east".

In the past three seasons, if the Hawks had not risen to the T0 level and dominated the pack, the West was strong and the East was weak. Now that the Hawks have disintegrated and the Lakers have become the new T0, the East is really "

There is no one who can fight."

The league most hopes that James can become the king of the Eastern Conference and form a 23vs24 situation; but objectively speaking, the one who can really change this pattern is probably Ke Yan. Ke Yan's vision, coaching ability, New York's financial resources and influence are more likely to follow suit.

Lakers Talk.

On October 31, the opening game of the 0910 season started, and the Lakers received last season's championship ring at home. Kobe has won mvp, amvp, championship and fmvp in two seasons, proving that he can still win without O'Neal.

Success. Kobe's next goal is to win another championship and completely surpass the Fat Man.

The Lakers' opponent in the first game of the season is the Oklahoma City Thunder, which signed Garnett in the summer and is making a rapid upward push in the new season. There are also many things to watch in this game. There is competition between Kobe and Garnett.

Who is the most successful player from 2005 to 2010? At the same time, this is also a duel between the two top scorers, Kobe and Durant.

The energetic Thunder team is full of impact, but Kobe, who has just climbed to the throne, definitely does not want to give up his scepter easily.

Facing the Thunder, which had just reorganized its lineup and still had some unfamiliarity among the players, Kobe took good advantage of his opponent's weakness at the second position. Neither Adrian Griffin nor No. 3 overall pick Harden could stop Kobe from scoring.

;

Kobe was not only full of firepower on the offensive end, but also took the lead on the defensive end. During a defense, he accurately cut the basketball from Durant's hand through his own advance judgment, and then took advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing to launch his attack immediately.

Fast break and completed the back dunk.

Compared with Kobe's brilliance, Durant and Garnett's starlight has dimmed a lot. The former's scoring is still efficient, and his mid-to-long distance pull-ups are almost unsolvable. From time to time, "big loops" and fouls can also make Artest

Jumping, but facing the Lakers' strong enough defense, Durant couldn't get in!

In the 2008 Finals, Garnett beat Gasol head-to-head, but his knee injury had a significant impact on his athletic ability. In the matchup with Gasol, the Wolf King

Gradually falling behind.

113:100, after a wonderful duel, the Lakers proved the strength of the defending champion. The Thunder may need more growth if they want to officially challenge the Lakers.

On November 2, the Knicks made their season debut belatedly, as the team faced the challenge of the Chicago Bulls at Madison Square Garden.

TV5 broadcast the game live. Ke Yan and Sun Yue both came to New York. Now the Knicks are the home team of Chinese fans.

"In the preseason games, Sun Yue was placed more in the small forward position by coach Ke Yan. He got an average of about fifteen minutes of playing time in each game. It can be seen that coach Ke Yan still wants to train Sun Yue.

"Let's see if coach Ke Yan can find Sun Yue's instructions as soon as possible during the regular season." Yujia's words represent the aspirations of the majority of Chinese fans.

In the TNT radio studio, Barkley and Kenny Smith were more concerned about how many points the Knicks could score. The offensive power the Knicks showed in the preseason was impressive.

The tickets at Madison Square Garden were sold out and the venue was packed.

Ke Yan came to the technical stage and shook hands with Bulls coach Nigro.

In the first round of the playoffs last season, Ke Yan led the team to a 4:0 sweep of the Bulls, ensuring that his playoff winning rate in every season of his career was above 50%, and also allowed Mingming to make great contributions and lead the team back to the playoffs.

Nigro lost face. If Ke Yan had not made the decision to go to New York early, the Bulls management even thought of poaching Ke Yan to replace Nigro.

】

This game is also regarded as a duel between the "strongest new generation point guards".

Joining the Bulls as the No. 1 pick, Rose averaged 38 minutes per game in his rookie season, averaging 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists. He ranked first in assists and second in scoring among all rookies of the same level.

, his explosive physical fitness and extremely destructive breakthroughs are impressive, and he has been hand-picked as a future superstar.

Curry himself does not have such a high reputation value. It is entirely because of Ke Yan's words "When I see Curry playing, I seem to have found my own Messi" that it has been raised to its current height. This is the magic of the famous coach and also Curry's reputation.

The pressure on your body.

Once upon a time, Kwame Brown, as the number one pick selected by the "God of Basketball", also suffered a psychological breakdown due to excessive expectations, and finally disappeared from everyone! The starting players of both sides came on stage, the Knicks five: Curry, Larry Hughes, Mike

Miller, Kevin Love, O'Neal.

Bulls five players: Rose, Crawford, Luol Deng, Terrence Thomas, Noah.

After trading away Brad Miller, the Bulls promoted Frenchman Noah. He was a top-notch blue-collar player who played very hard. He had little independent scoring ability in his peak period, but unexpectedly developed a first-hand support. Later,

He also won a series of honors including first team defense and DPOY.

However, Ke Yan was not interested in him, and felt that he had benefited from the idea of ​​being a hero without a hero. Gasol, who left the Lakers, joined the Bulls and immediately suppressed Noah and became the team's leader.

The core of the inside also more or less illustrates the moisture in Noah's honor.

"drop--"

Soon, the referee bald Crawford blew the whistle and the game began!

O'Neal and Noah jumped the ball. O'Neal didn't even jump. He watched Noah win the jump ball and call it to Rose.

The Bulls got the first wave of offensive possession. Rose dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing him was Larry Hughes.

Ke Yan had some expectations for Hughes' defense, but Rose didn't bother with Hughes at all and directly called Noah to come up as a cover.

Although Noah's body is not generous, his pick-and-roll action was very solid, which effectively delayed Hughes' pursuit. O'Neal did not completely prevent him. He came to the free throw line and wanted to make a delay, but was blocked.

Ross's wind-like acceleration directly wiped it.

.

.

Facing Love, who was protecting the rim at the basket, Rose made a huge pull-up layup, kicking off the Bulls' new season.

The Knicks attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Hughes in the middle, then ran to the left.

Hughes and Love played a pick-and-roll in the middle to get rid of Crawford, broke through to the left, attracted Thomas to switch defense, and passed the ball to the middle.

Love caught the ball in the middle, easily overcame Crawford's defense, raised his toes and threw the ball. The ball drew a beautiful arc and hit the net hollowly.

The crisp sound of the Internet being refreshed was followed by warm cheers from all the New York fans. This is the beginning of the Knicks' new season!

Zhang Lili shouted: "Good shot, Kevin Love is a very comprehensive technical insider, and may play the role of Diaw of the Hawks in the Knicks."

The Bulls' offense was very simple. Crawford picked up the ball from the right side and singled out Curry. He made a series of cross steps and changed direction in front of his body. After getting rid of Curry, he made a jump shot. (2:4)

There is no doubt that Keliu's playing is enjoyable to watch. His problem is that he is too touchy and cannot handle confrontation. In his rookie season, Curry was able to withstand any confrontation he had against him.

The Knicks were attacking. Curry was holding the ball and beating Rose in isolation. He kept changing his dribbling rhythm, observing the movement of his teammates, and was about to break through to the inside. Suddenly, his right hand passed the ball behind his back, passing the basketball from the bottom corner to the top line.

The moving Mike Miller blocked his position at the same time, blocking the pursuing Luol Deng.

After receiving the ball, Mike Miller attracted Rose's replacement. Miller resolutely broke through to the inside, pushed past Rose's defense with one step, and took a long two-point shot from behind the free throw line, making an accurate hit!

The key to this offensive tactic was when Curry passed the back pass to Luol Deng, which immediately created a mismatch between Mike Miller and Rose, and Curry received the first assist in his career!

The Bulls' offensive tactics were simple and crude. Rose played a pick-and-roll with Noah again. This time he broke through to the left to widen the distance. He dribbled the ball under his right hand and changed direction with his left hand. He passed O'Neal with the change of rhythm and made a layup.

Score .4 to 6.

On the other hand, it’s not Nigro’s fault. You let Ke Yan sit as the head coach of the Bulls. He targeted O’Neal even more harshly than Nigro!

But for a player like O'Neal, you can target him, and he can also beat you! Especially when the Bulls' two insiders, Noah and Terrence Thomas, are both "lightweight insiders." Ke Yan signaled the players to slow down.

Hit "i" and let O'Neal forcefully attack Noah in the low post. The Frenchman experienced the feeling of Mutombo back then. He was knocked to the ground directly and he didn't even have time to foul!

The long-lost dominance step reappeared, and the Knicks fans at the scene were all happy.

"Hey, this big shark is still as dominant as before!" Zhang Lili also joked.

At this time, Nigro was not aware of the danger. After Luol Deng's mid-range shot, Curry passed the ball to O'Neal through a breakthrough. The latter once again found the opportunity to wreak havoc on the basket. This time,

Thomas committed the foul, but the Shark still sent the ball into the basket with his soft touch!

This time, it was Nigro's turn to mutter on the sidelines!

Although he did not contribute points, Curry, who had already sent out two assists, was still smiling happily. When O'Neal miraculously hit the free throw, he was even happier.

"Oh my god, what magic does Kimi have! Even Shaq is not afraid of free throws!" Barkley was speechless in the studio. Is this O'Neal? Is this the 37-year-old O'Neal?

The offensive end was high, and O'Neal continued to contribute on the defensive end. In the next round of defense, his frame protection in the interior interfered with Rose's shot. Love grabbed the rebound and quickly handed the ball to Curry in the frontcourt.

, Curry took two tentative steps forward, was blocked by Rose, and then turned around to protect the ball, seemingly waiting for his teammates to get into position.

However, when Rose in front of him relaxed his vigilance, Curry raised his hand and shot a three-pointer. His shot was so fast that before Rose could react, the basketball had left Curry's fingertips.

"Bang!" The trajectory was very straight, but it hit the inner eaves of the basket. Thomas steadily collected the rebound.

It's a pity that Ke Yan was on the sidelines. In fact, Curry completely deceived Rose on this shot.

"Curry's shot is debatable. None of his teammates were in position. If the ball doesn't go in, there will be no rebounding at all!" Zhang Lili said based on his understanding of basketball.

There is actually nothing wrong with this. This is how most people understand basketball!

The game continued, and the Bulls still made a fuss about the Knicks' internal defense weaknesses. Crawford used the step-up to complete the dribble and pick the basket to score. (8:9)

Curry relied on an off-ball screen to catch the ball, attracting Thomas to switch defenses and then lobbed to Love, who was cutting through the air. The latter caught the ball and went to the basket for a one-handed dunk. Noah covered the defense in time, made accurate judgments, and slapped him in the face.

Blocked Love's dunk.

Mike Miller jumped on the floor to grab the rebound and handed the ball to Curry who was open on the wing. The latter caught the ball and flew past Crawford who was rushing to defend. Curry made a determined three-pointer.

"Whoa!" The legend beyond the three-point line begins! (12:8)

Ke Yan waved his arms excitedly on the sidelines and followed Curry closely with his eyes. This scene was also captured by the director and then cut to the big screen.

"Wow! This look is really like seeing your child get good grades in the exam." Kenny Smith said.

"Do you think Kimi has never looked at her like this?" Buckley joked.

"Should, maybe, probably, probably.

.

.

have it?"

Rose continued to use his sharp breakthroughs to support the team's offense. After attracting double-teams, Rose passed the ball to Thomas from the seam. The latter completed the dunk after receiving the ball, but after hanging up the frame, he intentionally

Unintentionally hung up on O'Neal.

This made O'Neal a little angry, and he pushed Thomas down after the opponent landed.

Fortunately, teammates on both sides kept calm and pulled the two away before the conflict intensified!

Rose made a technical free throw and the Bulls successfully hit a three-pointer. (12:11)
