Chapter 390: Qin must be destroyed by Chu (please subscribe, please support)

October 10th.

After a period of hard training, the Knicks' pre-game training camp is finally coming to an end.

Today, the team will play its first preseason game. They have a total of 7 preseason games to play. Their opponents are mainly close opponents such as the 76ers, Celtics, Cavaliers, and Magic. The only long-range opponent is

I have to fly to Canada to play the Raptors away from home.

In the first preseason game, the team played against the 76ers at home. Although it was a preseason game, fanatical fans still filled the entire Madison Square Garden, creating a warm home atmosphere.

On the sidelines, there were also some exciting faces, including local New York socialite Kim Kardashian, well-known Jamie Rihanna, "Hermione" Emma Watson and Victoria's Secret supermodel KK.

Ke Yan, who has always been "not a womanizer", was attracted by Emma Watson and watched her a few more times. Although he is not a die-hard "Harry Potter" fan, Ke Yan has also watched all eight movies in the "Harry Potter" series.

, I watched Emma Watson, who fit the unattractive character of "Hermione" in the first film, transform into a white swan in the third film, stunning everyone, and now she is a tall and graceful beauty.

Compared to the "starry lights" off the court, the game itself was not that good to watch. Ke Yan continued his "tradition" of pre-season training, not only hiding Curry, but even James only played 18 minutes and got the ball in a leisurely way.

With 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, he came off the court to rest.

The Knicks have undergone a major lineup overhaul this season and have brought in many new players. Compared to others, Stephenson, who was selected by the team as a second-round pick, has not attracted much attention from fans. After all, the team's players who can play the second position include Matthews.

Holiday and Korver each have their own strengths. However, in this game, Stephenson got the most 29 minutes of playing time on the team. The junior scored 14 points and 4 assists, declaring that he is more than just a water cooler.

The positioning of a player. And his slightly eccentric style is also very suitable for the Knicks.

On the opposite side is Jeremy Lin. Although he also got 12 minutes of playing time, his performance was "mediocre", with 2 points and 1 turnover. After the game, he was described by the New York media as "another Sun Yue", relying on his skin color and connections.

Enter the Knicks.

This not only expresses disapproval of Jeremy Lin, but also attacks Sun Yue for "defecting" to the Nets.

The 76ers were in a mess last season due to Allen Iverson. The team's young point guard Felton even made it clear that he wanted to leave the team and asked the team not to match the contract offered by the Trail Blazers. Although in the end the team

They still forcibly matched a four-year, 28 million contract and retained this emerging point guard, but the conflict between the player and the team would not be repaired immediately.

Evan Turner, the second overall pick selected by the team in the draft, also performed very mediocrely. This "NCAA McGrady" was sold for his "immediate combat ability" and "all-around", but he did not perform very well in the game.

His athletic ability is average, his three-point shooting is poor, and his technical characteristics overlap heavily with those of Iguodala, the current No. 1 player on the 76ers. He is a mini version of Iguodala, and his fit with the team is very poor.

Strictly speaking, this is a very bad choice.

In fact, fans have a very big misunderstanding, that is, there are many parallel imports of second-place picks. In fact, according to a "weighted efficiency ranking change chart" made by professional media, over the years in the NBA draft, the success rate of the second-place pick ranked fourth, lagging behind the top pick.

, No. 3 overall pick and No. 7 pick, slightly lower than expected, but not as bad as many people imagined.

To put it bluntly, the No. 8 pick is actually the pick with the highest probability of parallel imports. The success rate is not only lower than that of the magical 13th pick, but even lower than that of the undervalued 27th pick.

Although it was only a preseason game, the team still had a sense of powerlessness against the Knicks who remained strong. The 76ers fans were still very desperate and felt that the team's future was dark.

In the second game, the Knicks played away against the Celtics. Ke Yan continued to let Curry rest. At the same time, he adjusted the starting lineup and put Korver into the starting lineup to strengthen the outside firepower.

James + Royal Salute Team, this is the simplest and crudest way to "abuse the game" in the regular season. As the team's three-point shooter second only to Curry, on the days when Curry is "resting", Korver

It is very likely that Ke Yan will be reused to ensure the team's outside firepower.

Encouraged by Ke Yan, Korver took 9 outside shots and scored 4 3-pointers with great enthusiasm, including a 3+1, helping the team win the Celtics relatively easily.

"During training, Kimi helped me design a lot of tactics for running without the ball, including the selection of running routes and temporary adjustments to my steps. This allowed me to take the initiative to run into many open opportunities. I had a hunch that when Ku and I

When they play together, the team's outside offensive threat will be amazing." After a good game, Korver did not forget to praise Keyan.

Ke Yan has always attached great importance to outside shooting, and playing under him is "like a duck in water" for a shooter like Korver. Even if he cannot be the main force, he will still be an important member of the team.

In the third game, the Knicks visited the Quicken Loans Center to challenge the Cavaliers. Going "home" so quickly was somewhat beyond James' expectations.

Although James left the Cavaliers in a much more "gentle" way compared to his previous life, and even "damaged" the new club's strength in order to make up for the Cavaliers, the fans did not recognize this favor and used crazy tactics during pre-game training.

He greeted James with boos and insults, making the little emperor look grim.

As much as Cleveland once loved James, now Cleveland hates James!

Cavaliers fans do not forgive James, Ke Yan and DeAndre Jordan, but the relationship between Gallinari and Gallinari has eased due to the outbreak of "recording scandal". Moreover, both of them are now in the Cavaliers' "reconstruction" plan, and Gallinari is the original member of the Cavaliers.

The core players of the season and the main offensive points are not necessarily a bad thing for these two people.

In this game, Curry made his preseason debut. In his short playing time, Curry excessively sought cooperation with James, and both of them played a little deliberately!

In 18 minutes of playing time, Curry made 3 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal. However, he also made 3 turnovers and his performance was not satisfactory.

Fortunately, the team's excellent bench strength ensured that it could stably maintain a high level of output during the 48 minutes of the game. Holiday, Korver, and Mozgov each contributed double-digit scores to help the Knicks.

Sri Lanka defeated the Cavaliers 111:99 in an away game and won three consecutive preseason victories.

"While eating hot pot and singing songs, we suddenly won three games in a row." Compared with the result of victory, what makes fans even more happy is that many signings who were not optimistic before the season have achieved good results in actual combat. Knicks fans

"Falling in love" with Ke Yan again, we started voting on the topic of "Yao Jiaxin" that Ke Yan recently discussed, and 95% of the fans voted in support.

Of course, the fans doing this is obviously not counted. Ke Yan's three-year contract has just been fulfilled for more than a year, and the "recording scandal" was just triggered not long ago. No matter how anxious the Knicks are, it is impossible to talk to Ke Yan now

Renew contract.

On the other hand, Ke Yan's attachment to the city of New York has already been tied up, and it is not that easy to untie. His so-called "Yao Jiaxin" is just a response to the media's doubts about his "inability to spend money."

After that, the Knicks defeated the Magic and Pacers; lost to the Heat and Raptors, ending the preseason with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

With some reservations, the Knicks showed a strong bench depth. The team's bench advantage can almost catch up with the Eagles at their peak. This is the biggest highlight of the Knicks; as for the "hidden dangers"

, it must be that the "tacit understanding" between the players is not enough.

After all, this is the first season after a major change, and they all still need to get used to each other!

After the preseason ended, there was still one week left before the start of the new season. Ke Yan first gave the players two days off, and then resumed normal training. During training, Ke Yan significantly increased the frequency of his suspension training, and began to train at a higher rate

standards and requirements to measure the team.

Especially for Curry, Ke Yan improved the proportion of ball-handling offense, and Ke Yan indicated that he should take three-pointers more decisively when given the chance.

"Signing LeBron doesn't mean we have to sacrifice you, I need you to have the determination to be on an equal footing with him! Play in the way you are comfortable with, the greater your offensive threat, the greater the space for your teammates! Stephen, I'm still that way

In a word, you are Messi, everyone should revolve around you!"

And it was during these few days of training that the coaching staff discussed the lineup again.

Among the starting five, four positions are stable, Horford, West, James, and Curry. Whether the shooting guard will be Matthews, Holiday or Korver, they have not yet decided.

Matthews, who has 3D attributes, has the most stable performance! In other words, even if his shooting touch is not good on any day, Matthews can still provide stable defense to help the team. And, from helping Curry to assume more defensive tasks, offense

Matthews is also the most suitable for reducing the number of ball-handlers. West and Horford both have the ability to handle the ball. Matthews, as an off-ball end point, is very suitable;

Korver, who is full of shooter attributes, is a suitable candidate to "play" the other one of the Splash Brothers. If he becomes the starter, the Knicks' offensive space may be the only one in history! Korver himself does not take the ball.

Quan. On the defensive end, Korver is almost below average, but for Ke Yan, who prefers offense at heart, at least in the regular season, he is more willing to beat his opponents on the offensive end;

As for "Brother Pig", he is the player with the strongest ability to hold the ball, defend, and break through among the three, and he is also the one with the highest "ceiling". In terms of defensive style, except for the second position like Kobe, who is a swingman,

, Holiday can take all the other backcourt players and relieve Curry to the greatest extent! On the offensive end, compared to Korver, Matthews relies more or less on feeding the ball, and Holiday can initiate the offense on his own.

This is a sweet trouble. The Knicks are capable and have many people who can beat them.

After deliberation for a long time, Ke Yan finally decided to let Holiday play a fake starting position. He would take a rest before the official timeout in the first quarter, and then take Curry's playing time as a backup point guard. First, as early as the draft,

I have planned to let Curry and Holiday partner in the backcourt. The two should complement each other in terms of style. Secondly, the starting position also represents the status of the team. Holiday is indeed better than Matthews and Holiday.

Korver is important.

Of course, this is not permanent. In the final analysis, it still depends on the effect.

.......

On October 27, the first official NBA strength rankings were announced.

Ranking first is the defending champion Lakers. They have retained almost all of their main lineup and have also introduced Blake as the team's backup point guard. Compared to Farmar, Blake is a more stable presence.

Compared with the Hawks who completed two consecutive championships in 2007 and 2008, the Lakers are more ambitious. In order to complete three consecutive championships again, Jerry Buss did not pay attention to the luxury tax at all. However, the pursuit of three consecutive championships

On the way to the championship, the lineup only accounts for a part of the factors. The players' hunger for honor, opponents' study of the Lakers' style of play, the huge losses caused by consecutive battles, and the aging of the Lakers players, etc., will all restrict the team.

This season will also be the biggest test for Kobe!

With their outstanding performance in the preseason, the Knicks ranked second. Except for James and Curry, the Knicks still seem to have "more soldiers and more generals", which has greatly improved the media's evaluation of them. In the 0607 season, Ke Yan

He won the championship in his second year coaching the Hawks. After a four-year cycle, he copied his route with the Hawks in the Knicks, bringing in the second-place point guard in the first year and the top star in the second year!

Although there are three families in Chu, Chu will surely destroy Qin! It seems to be a very dramatic ending for Key Yan's team to end the Lakers' dynasty.

The "hidden danger" of the Knicks is Curry. He is also a point guard produced by Ke Yan. Curry is not as steady as Paul. He is more agile and has some fluctuations in his casual style of play. These fluctuations are not suitable for a playoff team.

It is acceptable for the team, but not necessarily if it is a championship team. If Curry is in poor condition, James will go back to the days of "fighting alone" with the Cavaliers.

The Mavericks ranked third, the Heat ranked fourth, the Magic ranked fifth, then the Spurs, Thunder, Nets...

As for the Bulls, which Ke Yan even avoided, they were ranked 13th.

Know the ball!

.......

October 31st.

At 7:30 pm US time, Madison is brightly lit and bustling with people.

Today is the opening day of the NBA 2010-2011 season, and the Knicks will soon have their first game of the season. They will sit at home and face their future Derby rivals, the Nets.

When the players come out, Curry takes the lead and James plays the finale. There is no way, this is determined by the status of the world.

Tonight, the Nets' starting lineup is Devin Harris, Joe Johnson, Josh Howard, Stoudemire and Brook Lopez. Just look at the starting lineup, four All-Stars + a high-potential rookie center.

Not inferior to the Knicks at all!

Reggie Miller, Barkley and Kenny Smith were sitting in the commentary box on the sidelines. Of course, TNT would not miss the Knicks' opening game. The three people chatted non-stop and analyzed. Although they did not reach a consensus on who they were optimistic about, they all agreed that

This will be a "Dragon Fight" in the East.

After a lengthy opening performance, players from both sides took the field. The referee threw the ball into the air and the game officially began.

Stoudemire showed a Slam Dunk Contest-level bounce, flying up like a spring with amazing speed, one step ahead of Horford, and passed the ball to his teammates.

Harris received the ball and carried it to the frontcourt, passed it to Joe Johnson, and immediately started running.

Josh Howard cut inside, attracted James' defense, circled around the basket and ran out from the left, and set up an off-ball screen with Stoudemire.

Horford replaced Josh Howard, leaving James in the paint. Joe Johnson passed the ball directly to Stoudemire who was cutting on the right side.

The little bully squeezed James away to catch the ball, sprinted at full speed facing the frame, and took off with both feet. It was too late for West to make up for the defense, and he did not forcefully take off as a backdrop. Stoudemire fully stretched out his body and used his right tomahawk.

Dink into the frame! 0 to 2.

"Emmmm~" The defense of this ball seems to be the problem with James!
