NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 130: Team locker room, Daddario

"call!"

Nets head coach Lawrence Frank signaled for the team to calm down.

He himself couldn't calm down, and acted like a wimp in the summer league. After arriving with the Knicks, even though he had just started playing, his mental outlook was completely different.

The LED big screen instantly replayed the Knicks' wonderful performances in these two rounds. Sean Marks shook his eyebrows at D'Antoni next to him:

"How about it? If it were Jerome, he wouldn't be able to switch offense and defense so well."

Mustache shouted to the fans behind him: “Are you still questioning the boss’s decision now??”

"No more doubts, we love yi, donut men rolling balls!"

"Good deal, boss!"

Daddario shouted with his hands: "The Great Wall of China is powerful! The Turkish duo is also powerful!"

"Classic depression? Social phobia? No, I'm pretending to be dead! I've wanted to trade this for a long time!"

"Yes, there is a reason why we change teams every year. Look at Yao, how loyal he is!"

Just as he was talking, Lopez on the Nets side succeeded in a single against Okur under the basket and turned around. Turk Drew came and went without leaving. Before Okur could come over, he suppressed the space between Courtney Lee and Lopez.

Fill up the shooting space for Okur in the top arc.

Then he turned back and passed a two-handed pass to Okur who followed up.

Okur bent his bow and drew an arrow from outside the three-point line, and the big center made a three-point shot.

stable!

You scored 2 points on my head, and I will give you 3 points directly!!!

Jiang Shuying and others were jumping up and down in the stands. Employees like Ma Xun all stood and watched, which was a unique sight.

Liu Yan:

"The star players are different. They are really accurate. Yi Jianlian is also more violent than expected. This team has a completely new look. Boss, you won't have any doubts."

"It's still early, we just started."

"Yeah, by the way, Boss, your favorite Curry and Harden didn't seem to score much in the first quarter!"

"But he's not invisible either."

Jiang Chao held his chin and watched with great interest. His theory of springs was quite broad.

Although Kuha didn't score in the first quarter, he did record assists. And as a rookie, it's good that he didn't make any mistakes when executing tactics. They all made 0 mistakes.

They both took one shot, but didn't make it.

Moreover, Clifford's training is still good. Both of them started out as blue-collar workers, tearing apart the opponent's main back line.

As for the offense, these two leading scorers have nothing to worry about. Jiang Chao needs to find a feel for the game first and play with his big brothers for a while. After finding the feel in the third and fourth quarters, they will be able to kill the enemy in a wave as they are full of energy!

The main reason is that the opponent is also a bit weak. Devin Harris just said that he may be a star player in the Mavericks system, but he cannot be the big brother in the Nets and has no ability to connect the team.

The first quarter is over.

The Knicks led the Nets by 10 points at 28:18.

The Knicks scored a total of 17 points in the paint. Arab League and Okur scored 15 points together. Okur scored 9 points. Arab League scored 6 points and made 3 of 3 shots. He also got 4 rebounds. It is estimated that there will be less time in the second quarter.

It's one o'clock.

"I guess...it's because of the shoes?"

“The shoes need to be returned!”

"One thing to say, apart from the player's performance, the quality of the shoes is still OK..."

It was unexpected that the two lottery picks had zero starts in the first quarter, and some people blamed it on the sneakers on their feet.

Instead, substitute Danny Green, who played in the 3D concept, hit a three-pointer in person, breaking the record for this year's Knicks rookie.

It has to be Huang Ama!

He was trained well by the young coach. On the offensive end, he never dribbled. He only defended and caught and shot. Moreover, he had a good personality. He graduated from a prestigious school and did not say that he must have the ball. He played simple and efficient.

, standing firm is the first priority.

In the second quarter, the young coach started to get angry. After leading too much, he sent out all substitutes. It was said to be full substitutes, but in fact, there was no one who could pass the ball.

Guards Larry Hughes Gallinelli Big Q Ibaka David Lee.

The Nets here are particularly concerned about their first game. Harris obviously feels like he wants to leave his name in Madison. He is still on the court and scored 2 consecutive 3-pointers to regain the game. Courtney Lee

Use his experience in the finals to attack the inside and score points.

Ibaka and David Lee were still a bit short, and several balls slipped in by the Nets' smaller men due to poor communication.

At halftime, with Harris and Alston taking turns leading the team, the Nets tied the score at 48:48.

After Lawrence Frank came on the court, he only used Lopez to face him. Even so, Yi Jianlian also succeeded in a back hit, and the impact of Big Q was like hitting a sandbag every time he rushed into the arms of his old teammate Jerome.

, he is just waiting for the big Q to hit him.

The commentator seizes the opportunity and takes advantage of it:

"It's obvious that the Knicks don't have players on the bench who can score. They don't have an impact player like Nate Robinson, and they're still weak with just a few second-round picks."

"Yes, what's the use of the new boss's six-guard?? You will pay the price for your willfulness."

But in fact, true Knicks fans don’t think so.

Most of the second quarter used old players, Tim Thomas and Larry Hughes both played 8 minutes.

This seems to be the young coach telling the fans with practical actions, can the old Knicks team be effective together? Mud will remain mud.

Even if I give you the ball and time, you won't be able to perform well. Big Q and Larry Hughes are both very good players.

Larry Hughes was the steal leader, a great ball-handler, and could defend three-pointers and mid-range shots. He was the player the Cavaliers later named.

Big Q was a forward who rotated with Chandler before. He is a forward with excellent body shape. He is fast and has enough body. He can also swing to the forward position. He has excellent physical fitness and accurate shooting skills.

Tim Thomas is the Knicks' only uninjured meat-shield inside man. He is on the short side, but his frame protection is not weak, and his defense is a headache for his opponents.

Needless to say, David Lee was the Knicks' leader last year, but they almost all played their own game on the court. It wasn't that they didn't follow tactics, but they were used to playing fast break under D'Antoni last year. Suddenly,

It's difficult to get used to playing tactically at this intensity, and it becomes a one-on-one fight before the 24 seconds are over.

After all, Gallinelli was just learning from Turk Drew. Even old fan Spike Lee admitted that the old Knicks lineup was indeed not good:

"Stop blaming them! It's true that these people on the TV station will get better with the addition of Harrington and Nate?? Isn't it just adding two players who can play singles?"

However, Dolan's criticism of Jiang Chao on the TV station seems to be reasonable now.

Regardless of the performance of the old lineup players he brought.

Where are Jiang Chao’s two favorite lotteries???

These two have an annual salary of more than 3 million yuan as a rookie and an endorsement contract of 10 million yuan. They combined for 5 points in the first half??

Harden had a two-plus-one layup that hit the backboard, and Curry had quick eyes and quick hands to steal a one-stop layup. That's what it looked like?

There is no offensive talent at all in the NCAA, and his defensive performance is not even as good as that of substitute second-round pick Beverley.

So Dolan took advantage of Jiang Chao's disdain to relieve himself of the pressure. Otherwise, these second-bill hosts kept saying that the lineup was not good, which sounded painful to him because all the lineups present were chosen by him.

, David Lee and Gallinelli were all people he wanted personally, and Larry Hughes and Big Q were all acquired through heavy transactions with him. These commentators wanted to lick him as the TV station director, but they licked him at the wrong time.

A more neutral ESPN editor posted an instant message:

"At the end of the half, the Knicks rookies performed poorly and the new players performed well. They are worthy of being SS-level trades and B-trades. The three international players acquired through trades still showed their potential."

Obviously, you can say that Jiang Chao has poor vision, but his trading ability is not bad, but trolls can complain about anything. Trading is Sean Marks's business, and all the credit goes to Sean Marks.

How can the two Turkish heroes not be stronger together?

And when Yi Jianlian arrived in the world's largest Chinatown, he felt at home, so it was reasonable for him to explode!

Anyway, the current direction of public opinion is still: progress is a personal matter for players.

The fault lies with Jiang Chao. This bastard spent a lot of money to get two lottery tickets, but his performance is not as good as that of a bunch of rookie guards next door.

Super God Forum, Mr. Yang posted a crazy reply:

"Sean Marks was not recruited by Jiang Chao??? In the first half, it was obvious that the ball was not in the hands of the rookie like in Summer League. Can't you see this?"

…

In the VIP room, Jiang Supernatural also heard Dolan and others' criticism of Kuha and him after halftime on TV.

This can also name the boss, something he didn't expect.

Liu Yan looked at the man next to her with some worry:

"Maybe because your side job has affected some people's interests, I feel like they have a grudge against you."

Jiang Chao smiled and leaned her in his arms and rubbed her hair:

"It's okay. The young coach should be trying out the lineup in person in the preseason. I've seen Curry Harden in Summer League and there's no reason why he can't use it. I've never seen these two attack with the ball. I'll go to the locker room.

Look at them."

After saying that, he stood up and headed to the players tunnel nonchalantly.

"Okay, don't criticize the players too much. I heard that rookies are prone to depression."

"Pfft~~Does your husband look so cruel to me?"

"You are so cruel!"

"You are the one who is fierce, the real one!"

Jiang Chao squeezed it with his hand restlessly. After a few days, Liu Yan's bear was obviously more elastic.

Jiang Chao went to the locker room here not to blame the coaching staff for slacking off in the second quarter.

Others may not be able to tell, but he can tell at a glance that the young coach is frantically experimenting with several lineups, such as the lineup of the previous Knicks. The young coach does not really want the fans to see how weak they are, he

I also wanted to prove that the players left behind by Jiang Chao were very strong, and also indirectly prove Jiang Chao's vision, but unfortunately it backfired.

Although the score was chased in the second quarter, the most stable Turk Drew organization, Yi Jianlian and Okur's pick-and-roll tactics were still very orderly.

Sure enough, after talking to Cole whom he met on the road, the young marshal had this idea.

Why do rookies perform mediocrely?

One is that the offense of the rookies is not stable yet, so let the big brother take the lead first to give them a try. However, the big brother on the bench was a little stretched, so the score was caught up in the second quarter, and the ball was more in the hands of the old bird.

.

The other is that it's not Summer League anymore, and it takes time to adapt after the confrontation. In their view, giving the rookie the ball at the beginning may make the game ugly, and the opponent is Xiaoling Kuai's experienced defender.

For the sake of regular season results, the team will naturally favor the Turkish duo. Which rookie doesn't get to experience first by being next to the stars? The young coach has stricter requirements for Curry and Harden. You have so much playing time, and you have to fight against them.

You must seize the opportunity given to you after coming up. Start with training with low shots.

Take your time!

Jiang Supernatural knows that Curry and Harden have not yet played their best. Both of them need to develop a sense of ball. Maybe Turk Drew can do without organizing, but if Curry and Harden do not organize a few goals, they will feel very bad about playing.

Hard to find.

So he went to the locker room and told them a few words. One was not to complain about the ball, but to go all out on the court and shoot directly when there was space.

Another one is communication:

"The mouth is for talking. The five people on the field should communicate more. You are a team, not individuals."

Jiang Chao feels that the Knicks have not done enough in this regard. Maybe it is because of the new faces. Everyone is obviously not familiar with each other on the court. It is more Turk Drew and the young coach calling people out, and the tactics are also the same.

Simple pick-and-roll initiation.

He likes to attack smoothly and naturally needs his players to play more as a team.

Ibaka touched his head angrily.

"Stop scratching your head, I'm talking about you. We don't have many centers in our team. When you hit the center, don't just focus on helping to defend. You also have to shout for the person you missed. Can't you just ask your teammates on the flanks to help you defend? That's too much.

Move your mouth!"

Ibaka quickly put down his hand: "Okay, boss."

He committed three fouls by himself in the first half. One was due to too much impact on the opponent's inside line and the Knicks' inside line was not thick enough. The other was due to his own reasons. He liked to jump and was trained several times by Harris.

"Got it boss!"

"Don't worry, boss!"

"Leave it to us!"

The players in the locker room are obviously not as frustrated as outsiders say, and there is no such thing as garbage trading of rookies.

After playing so many training games, no one knows how good Curry Harden is better than themselves.

The young marshal's research these two months was not in vain. Everyone was obedient to the young marshal's arrangements and respected Jiang Chao's suggestions. They also knew that Jiang Chao's recent sideline business needs popularity. Although this is a pre-season game,

But after all, it’s the first game of the season at Madison Garden at home, so it’s not good to start with a bad start.

Give your boss a shout-out!

Then I saw Curry doing push-ups in front of the locker, Harden riding a spinning bike looking energetic, and the two of them were as excited as if they had hyperthyroidism.

"What are they?"

Jiang Chao asked the young marshal doubtfully.

"Your policy is, in the second half, one person should do one section."

"Can."

Stephen Curry maintains muscle strength by doing glute bridges:

"Boss, I'm going to work harder in the second half!"

"Fuck me to death, i-see-you!"

Jiang Chao smiled and left the locker room.

At this point, there is no need to hide it, the records of these two rookies will start from this season, just do it!

It's just that he didn't expect that the young coach would listen to his Xia League nonsense and let the rookies work hard in the second half.

Somewhat interesting.

He started to look forward to it.

…

The second half begins.

box.

The second half is about feeling what it's like to watch the game from the stands and front row seats.

He took off his windbreaker and wore an Anta pure white T-shirt and a pair of sky blue jeans that Liu Yan bought for him. He wore the orange version of Curry's generation on his feet and blue sunglasses. He looked like a flashy playboy.

Liu Yan also wore a peaked cap and followed her, and the two looked like a student couple.

But as soon as she walked into the corridor of the stands, she was bumped into by Jiang Shuying who bought a cup of Coke. She directly revealed it with a carefree voice:

"Wow, boss, it's too obvious for you. One person is fine, but two people can see through it at a glance."

Jiang Chao scratched his head in embarrassment when he was told that. Indeed, it would not work if they stood together. Two good-looking people standing together would be more than 2.

"By the way, aren't you afraid of the kiss cam session? I saw that in this session just now, everyone had a great time kissing each other." As expected of an actor, Jiang Shuying even spoke of the Northeastern flavor.

"Ahem, forget it."

When she thought of this, Liu Yan said that she and her little sister Jiang Shuying were watching the football together, leaving Jiang Chao aside.

"Okay, I'll go to the back row and take a look."

Jiang Chao didn't force it. It was inconvenient to do anything in the private room. Liu Yan's tall figure was much more conspicuous than him standing in the crowd. After all, there were still very few Asian beauties in this venue.

There are many fans of his height.

If it was really a kiss or cam, he wouldn't be so open. This belongs to American culture and was completely abandoned after doing it a few times in the CBA.

("Kiss Cam" is an interactive game for the audience after the NBA game. It has always been extremely popular. As the NBA's "kissing game", when the big screen is pointed at the fans in the auditorium, two people sitting next to each other usually

People will kiss each other. This game is usually performed by male and female fans sitting next to each other. It is also nicknamed the rape cam by the NBA!)

The view from the backstage of the stands is good, the private rooms are strong, but the sense of participation is unparalleled, because there are many pot-bellied guys holding beers next to them. The lively atmosphere is very suitable for bringing the family to watch football and have fun.

At this time, the big screen was showing the audience. It is indeed the favorite place for celebrities to show their faces. The front row is filled with some New York socialites. Although these people are not familiar with Jiang Chao and may not be Knicks fans, they like to watch the Knicks.

People watching the football on the sidelines pay close attention to it. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose, they just watch the fun.

Spike Lee, neighbor J-Lo, and Jennifer Lopez were all sitting in the front row, as well as several models and singers from New York Fashion Week. Jiang Chao didn't know them very well, but the explanation was very clear.

At this time, the camera suddenly swept across a pair of large car lights.

No, I scanned a beauty that Jiang Chao was familiar with. She was a girl he had met before, and she was also a young actor who had been following Jiang Chao on social media from the beginning: Daddario.

"Good guy, it's really big." Jiang Chao compared it. It seemed to be bigger than the widowed sister.

When Cao Cao arrived, the widowed sister called him:

"Jiang, were you watching the game live? Comments said that you came for a moment at the beginning and then disappeared."

"Oh, the box."

"What are you doing in the box? You have to sit in the front row and show your face. You are so powerful. You look so handsome in front of the camera."

"Do I need to be handsome in front of the camera? By the way, didn't you go to audition with Luc Besson? You still have time to give me a call."

"Isn't this for my little sister? Her name is Alexandra Daddario. She is a fan of mine and a young actress. She is 23 years old. She sits in my season ticket seat. She likes you very much.

Today’s goal is to get your autograph and photo.”

"I understand everything, why did you introduce her in such detail??" Jiang Chao heard something fishy.

Scarlett Johansson: "I'm afraid you'll be fascinated by her. She's a girl who I think has a good figure, but you can't touch her, right?"

"oh?"

"Her father, the federal prosecutor of New York State and the head of the anti-terrorism department, arrested Nate and Marbury. You can have a good relationship with her, but don't mess around."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?? It's too much. I finally got you the heroine."

"Okay... Actually it's not impossible, eh, another golden flower."

"Go, go, go, you're taking it seriously. How was your audition for "Super Body"?"
