NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 149: Veterans will never die! The Knicks actually adopted tactics! (9)

Sure enough, the two young teams worked very hard during the warm-up period. Jessica Alba and others in the front row cheered loudly as they watched various dunks in warm-up.

Jiang Chao saw that five players were wearing blue-based orange home jerseys, and the others were wearing dark blue training uniforms. Obviously these five players were the Knicks' starters in this game.

It is also the first starting lineup of this regular season.

The two of them found a small box and sat down. Sure enough, the starting lineup introduced on the TV was the same as what Jiang Chao had seen.

Starting guard Larry Hughes

Shooting guard James Harden.

point forward Turk Drew

Power forward David Lee

Center Okur.

Sure enough, things will be different in the regular season. This can be regarded as the strongest lineup that can be seen on the surface.

The small forward is originally a big Q, but Turk Drew has to give way when he comes. Although Yi Jianlian is a starter in the Nets, David Lee has started many more games than him in New York, and his statistics are also completely crushed.

A double-double monster averaging 2,010 rebounds per game is no joke.

"It seems a bit luxurious?"

"Yes, they are all stable players who can average more than 10 points per game. This starting lineup is much more balanced than the preseason."

At this time, the ESPN host was very happy, because the fans were indeed dissatisfied with their integrity. After introducing the Knicks starting lineup, the ratings actually reached the first place in the same period, only behind the national live broadcast game of Lakers vs. Celtics next door.

However, Dolan, the guest invited next to him, was very unhappy and had a bad look on his face. He thought to himself that you, the host, were just bragging before the show was even started. The ratings were just for the sake of freshness.

The starting process was very long, and Jiang Chao's only feeling was: not shocked.

After all, the Knicks home stadium he had seen was the first to use tile holographic projections to open the stadium.

But it’s okay, after he finishes the Riot game, let Riot do CG for the players.

Yesterday, he asked Liu Yan who was back from a business trip. As expected, Riot Games offered a price of about 80 million US dollars. This was still a figure that the boss was bragging about. If he wanted Jiang Chao to invest, he had to be more impressive.

After the popularity of holographic projection, Riot Games can have a crazy linkage with the Knicks.

Why not hold the S-League Finals at Madison Garden Arena?

Let the dragon from the Bird's Nest fly to the Knicks' home court!

…

"The game begins!"

Bosh jumped to the ball, and Calderon, the starting point guard of the Spanish national team, controlled the court and, under the interference of Larry Hughes, hit the ball to Chris Bosh, the only boss on the team.

As expected, Chris Bosh's style of play is different from that of all centers. He catches the ball and makes a flexible half-turn hook. There is not much confrontation with Okur at all, and the ball smoothly enters the net!

Okugang has the advantage inside, but those who avoid hitting him can only watch the attacker jump in front of him with hooks.

"That's it?"

While the Raptors fans at the scene applauded, Jiang Chao saw something deeper, that is, although he scored, the other four Raptors didn't move at all.

All fucked watching Bosh singles.

High emotional intelligence can be said to open up space, while low emotional intelligence seems to have no tactics??

Raptors head coach Jane doesn't seem to have studied many tactics.

In fact, Jiang Chao thinks that the young marshal will think of it together with him, so let's all let the Dragon King 1v1 and see how long Bosh can maintain his hitting rate!

The Knicks played much more clearly here. Larry Hughes was originally going to give Harden a jumper without the ball at the top of the arc.

However, the Turkish combination on the inside unexpectedly ran a pick-and-roll without the ball. It was Turkoglu's pick-and-roll for Okur.

Turkoglu still has a good brain, and he shouted "ball, ball" to attract the attention of his teammates as soon as he initiated the pick-and-roll.

His generous body was no worse than Bosh. Larry Hughes passed the ball with both hands to Okur who was stretched to the baseline.

Facing the late arrival of Bosh, Okur made a cool jump shot, and the ball came out of the frame!

But David Lee, the jumping man in the post, directly picked the ball off with one hand and grabbed the offensive rebound when facing Bagliani after Bosh pulled him out.

Then he pushed his big butt inside, knocking Bagliani away. When he wanted to come up, he raised the ball and made a fake move to point the defender away. Then he immediately jumped up and dunked with both hands!!

"Fuck!! Lee!!"

David Lee's super bullet speed and quick and flexible inside skills are on full display!

"Knicks double-double king!! The last glory of the predecessor!"

The commentator explained enthusiastically, and Dolan also stood up and applauded. This is the best rookie selected in the Dolan era, and it is still very enjoyable to watch.

Jiang Chao:

"Well done, Brother Li!"

"The only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive." Sean Marks also agreed. Sure enough, the ball is most stable in the hands of the players with the highest annual salary on the court.

At the beginning, Okur's three-pointer was a chance, and David Lee's second rebound after the opponent's center went out was simply amazing.

"Just want to dunk! It fits the Knicks' current temperament!"

The fans in the Super God Forum applauded David Lee for this two-handed dunk on the spot. This is how the Knicks' new team scored their first goal of the season!

Breathe a new era!

…

The most annoying thing is that there was no celebration after Brother Li dunked in. Instead, Larry Hughes raised his arms and shouted. After all, they played together last year.

"Hurry back to defense!"

Then Clifford shouted from the coaching bench to return to defense.

Jiang Chao laughed. With this coaching staff here, the players really can't be lazy on the court. Everyone performs their duties. If a player has a problem, just call him and it will be effective immediately.

It's not that Larry Hughes is slow to return to defense. On the contrary, he is very fast. He was the steal leader and the player on the All-Defensive Team in 2005. He is a chicken-blooded player.

Calderon on the Raptors side was not convinced, and this time he wanted to create an open opportunity for the Dragon King. He moved to Bosh's position and wanted to hand over to Bosh for an open jumper.

But Larry Hughes went around like a scalpel and cut off the ball, destroying the handoff.

Harden is also full of energy. He rushed ahead to get the ball one step ahead of DeRozan. He took the ball and rushed directly towards the frontcourt. Now he doesn't have the courage to go outside the three-point line and make a three-pointer after halftime.

Deliberately slowing down outside the three-point line, Jack gave up his defender and passed the ball to Turk Drew who followed up in the top arc without looking at anyone. Turk Drew caught the ball without stopping, and took three steps directly for a layup.

succeed!

The agents are operating!!!

"What a fast break, what a handsome position, what a precise pass!!" cntv commentator Yu Jia directly praised it!

This mercury-like offense made Harden and Turk Drew high five and the sound of their palms could be clearly heard.

"Why are you so excited... just opening the show?" Jiang Chao said with a smile. This high-five was painful to watch.

Sean Marks smiled behind him and said nothing, thinking that this was not infected by you.

Yesterday's speech was like a mental nitrogen pump. All the players wanted to use all their strength to win this first regular season game!

The Knicks championship is brainwashing their consciousness...

Even though Sean Marks and Mustache and others tried their best to remind that the regular season is very long and that four quarters of time must be allocated, the fact that even Turk Drew rushed forward like this shows that he also wants to prove himself to the new boss!

Logically speaking, Turk Drew couldn't rush past DeRozan behind him, but he rushed forward one step ahead of DeRozan to help Harden.

"This ball is mine. I'll guard Turk Drew later."

Jack, the veteran here, decisively raised his hand to express his fault. He knew that Harden would not be so decisive when he took an open shot, but he still pounced on it, causing the inside line to be left empty.

But in fact, Jiang Chao wants to say that Jack's choice was correct in the small ball era. Now it is to let 3 points instead of 2 points, but in the small ball era, fast breaks are all about chasing three-point shooters.

There is no way, Harden, Curry, Thompson, including Danny Green on the bench, Mills and the others are too accurate to chase open 3-pointers.

As the Knicks attacked the inside twice in a row, they succeeded.

The mentality of the Raptors generals had changed at this time.

This is completely different from the Knicks team in the preseason!

The starting lineup is a lineup they have never seen before, and the spirit is different. Moreover, President Masai Ujiri and coach Jane have seen the Knicks last season and preseason, and there are not many tactics.

But the opening was all about smooth tactical goals!

DeRozan was criticized by Jack for guarding Harden, but the result was that Harden turned around and caught a pass from Turk Drew in advance, pulling him up with one arm and causing a foul...

It seems that DeRozan, the dunk boy who was so good in the preseason, seems to be messy in the regular season.

Bosh made a successful mid-range shot...Larry Hughes broke through and scored a layup!

Bosh passed back to Calderon and scored a three-pointer. Turk Drew took a step back from the pick-and-roll and scored again!!

The two teams' offense was immediately full in the opening game, leaving the new generation of Knicks fans stunned.

Is this still the disorganized team from last year that played fast but scored 0-15?

Knicks fans in the forum burst into tears: "Our Knicks actually have a move...Coach Stevens, I love you!!!"

"Tsk tsk, you have to be a veteran."

Veterans never die!

Jiang Chao had this feeling after watching it for six minutes. From his perspective, although it seemed that all three armies were exhausted in the regular season debut, the veteran still played the first part. Harden was like a follower in the first quarter.

Turn back and run to look for opportunities.

On the offensive end, the five starters played a bit gorgeously, and the half-quarter score was 20:13.

But the Raptors' starting lineup is obviously younger, and they don't have a serious small forward. They have been using Jack and DeRozan to consume Turk Drew in turns. Okur, who is also an All-Star inside, can't help but Bosh keeps pulling out and running in.

The physical exertion gradually exposed the shortcomings of these two 30-year-old veterans in their slow pace on the defensive end, and they were beaten several times by Bosh's triple threat.

And DeRozan even changed direction and passed Turk Drew and completed a folding dunk that shocked everyone to break his scoring drought. Inside Okur made a defense, but because of his poor bounce, it became a backdrop.

The best DDR in the regular season just sprayed Harden!

Harden looked confused: "Brother, I already scored too much before you scored..."

However, this time the visiting team's morale-boosting dunk forced the young coach to switch players.

Jiang Chao chatted with Sean Marks:

"If I guess correctly, the youth storm is coming at this time!"
