NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 182: Ku Ritian’s mood!!

Jiang Chao looked a little nervous. Who doesn't want to defeat the league's number one, especially after five consecutive defeats? Isn't that how the climax of the novel is written?

On the other hand, Antoine Jamison was the first to blossom here. He turned around and made a reverse run to receive an early pass from James. He hit Harden and succeeded in a backhand layup!

"my, my!"

In the next round, when Curry passed to Harden for a single, Harden's hand was soft and he missed the jump shot. When the Cavaliers got here, they never let James attack first, but lobbed to O'Neal, the stronger inside player.

When O'Neal faced Ibaka, he just said one word.

squeeze!

squeeze!

I'll squeeze again!

Three consecutive hits pushed Ibaka, who was a head shorter than him, a step away, and his huge body took advantage of the situation and succeeded in a one-handed chop!

The basket in the Garden Arena is shaking!

After the deduction, the shark's death eye reappeared.

Ibaka showed no signs of timidity in his first start:

"What are you pretending to be?"

O'Neal showed off his arms. This arm circumference is really scary:

"The paint area is my territory, you should go home for Christmas, little rookie!"

Who is Ibaka? After he saw the photo of O'Neal being pushed down by a Chinese inside ball, he was no longer afraid of O'Neal. While returning to the offense, he used his strength to squeeze O'Neal out of the paint area like crazy:

"You are so fat, how can you taste your girlfriend's donuts? How about I do it?"

The obvious contrast with O'Neal is the tendon of Ibaka's arm. If the shoulders were wider, they would have the shadow of a muscular man like Malone.

hiss!

This trash talk was coming from a league rookie trash-talking a Hall of Fame player. The muscle collision in the paint immediately started, and the two people's hands were wrestling together, and neither one was able to take advantage of the other.

Jiang Chao clearly heard the referee warning them, saying that if it continued to be so fierce, both sides would foul next time.

Jiang Chao was so excited, "Men should watch basketball like this. Although he has never seen O'Neal at his peak, later generations have never even seen the tail end of his peak."

But watching the 37-year-old O'Neal's inside dominance live, it's still so impressive!

The memory of O'Neal among fans of his generation is that Lian Po was old. He ran slower than anyone else in the Celtics. On the defensive end, he was pulled out by all teams to switch defenses...

Now it seems that although the league's No. 1 center has no muscles and peak movement speed, he is still experienced in his physical strength and experience on the court.

Naturally, Ibaka won't be able to hit the ball back this round because it's unrealistic.

Harden's back was intercepted by the astute Anthony Parker who cut the ball at the moment of switching defense.

"Hey hey hey!"

"Brother!"

Ibaka and David Lee jumped inside and were intercepted like this on the outside. If they faced the Cavaliers...

Sure enough, James, who is famous for his fast break counterattacks, will never waste Anthony Parker's steal. After receiving the ball, he faced Turk Drew, who was unable to bounce or move laterally. He crossed the free throw line and started to draw his tomahawk.

, the little emperor who rushed up was unstoppable, and he directly smashed in with his one-handed tomahawk!

And Turk Drew can only become the background board underneath.

O'Neal was murderous and heart-wrenching, and he sprayed wildly from behind:

"Hey, man, the Magic were right not to give you a max salary!"

James is even happier when he scores a goal than when he scores a goal himself. That makes him dance with joy in front of Ibaka and others.

James, on the other hand, spread his hands, not begging for a foul, but wanting to say: This is what the Knicks are all about??

In fact, James is in low spirits today. He wants to prove himself in Madison Square??

Then he had a triple-double with a size of 50 in this place last season.

So he feels that he doesn’t want to play against a weak team in the Christmas game. 23:24 is the arrangement he wants to see most, and he can win the first place in the league again in front of everyone!

He wanted to go to a big ball market for the Christmas Day game, but he wanted to go to Los Angeles.

But I’m sorry, because Carter joined the Magic, this year’s Christmas game in Los Angeles turned into a battle between the four shooting guards in Revenge of Warcraft. Magic vs. Lakers is definitely more gimmick than Cavaliers vs. Lakers this season.

"Young man, you'd better go to Thunder and join Young Master Dewey, they are more reliable!"

"His!!"

Stephen Curry, who was just beside him, cursed under his breath when he heard it. He completely broke the defense and directly took the initiative to receive the ball.

This O'Neal is shaking the morale of the army. What is Dewey? Now this is Ibaka of the Knicks!!

Harden's fighting spirit was not that strong after he was intercepted, but Curry's fighting spirit, which had not been offensive in the opening game, was completely up.

Saying that we can't beat the Wang Zha combination??? shakes the mentality of teammates!!

I won’t do it every day!

In this round, he didn't use tactics at all. When he saw his teammates pulling away, he suddenly hit the ball under his crotch and broke through the inside with his back, punishing O'Neal in front of O'Neal.

O'Neal didn't take Ibaka seriously at all, who had no independent offensive ability, and went to the free throw line to block the small floater that Curry is good at.

Curry is so smart. Although he is very angry, his golf IQ is too high. He can just stop the ball and instantly point it towards Ou Pang who can't hold back his strength.

Then he hit the ground covertly from O's crotch to Ibaka's hand.

Ibaka was too lazy to talk trash. Facing the top help defender James who quickly came to defend him, Ibaka directly accumulated strength and sunk his shoulders, bent his knees to the most comfortable position, took off with all his strength at the highest height, and directly hit the man who had already jumped from the side in the air.

James persuaded him to stop and responded with a shark dunk.

With his feet in the air, he kicked the basketball that had passed through the basket and flew to O'Neal!!

Young heroism!!

A tough guy!

"The Knicks' new starting center is so tough!"

"So hard!"

"It smells like the 1990s!"

"Nonsense, if it was really the 1990s, three Ibakas wouldn't be enough for O'Neal who just entered the league."

"Trivia: There was no three-second zone back then, and O'Neal was the ultimate bug!"

Young Marshal’s strange array reaps results!

The Knicks G-League coaches and players watching the game behind Jiang Chao analyzed the effect of the young coach's change of formation. O'Neal's movement speed was beaten to death by Curry and Ibaka.

It just hits you and you can't prevent it or make up for it.

It also caused James to almost make a background board!

"What the hell?? It's so humiliating at the beginning?"

"Good shot, Medicare Card!"

"nice shot!"

"It just has to be this hard."

The Knicks bench stood up, Curry actually helped Ibaka get a goal!

Mills, the towel manager, threw it like Hot Wheels, while Jiang Chao stood up and praised her, not realizing that Swifty took advantage of everyone standing up and almost ran to her side.

O'Neal also did this scene ten years ago, but he kicked the ball and then kicked the opponent's center, and he didn't even eat it...

But now O'Neal is still very strong, and the hero's lateness does not hinder his violent temper. He just wants to fuck Ibaka with lotus in his mouth.

However, the three referees were well prepared and pulled the two of them apart after Ibaka landed the dunk.

What made the fans want to cry was that when O'Neal picked up the ball and wanted to throw it to Ibaka, Ibaka grabbed the ball... Murderous and heartbreaking!

"I don't know why, I really want to see them fight!"

"Me-too!"

It will be even better after David Lee joins. Otherwise, as long as O'Neal fights, the scene will not be bloody, but the action will be spectacular.

Although the referees also wanted to see if the super center could beat the rookie in another fight, they did not want the referee's certificate to be confiscated by David Stern who was watching the game after the game.

O'Neal and Kobe never lost in a typical game and never won in a fight.

Ibaka remembers the young commander’s teachings:

"Sorry, I'm talking about the game. It will be broadcast live across the United States today. I won't cause trouble!"

Curry, who assisted the goal, also said to Xiao Mo, who came to start a fight but almost got into a fight with Curry:

"I feel bad about being passed over?? Don't worry, we will use our strength to defeat you in an open and honest manner, and you don't want to end up in a bad situation!"

The smell of gunpowder is coming!

Xiao Mo was already very annoyed when he was defeated by Curry's combo of moves just now. He also got trash-talked and almost started to do it, but the little emperor pulled him away to stop.

A referee came over to the referee's bench and told the young coach to pay attention to the words and deeds of the players. This kind of dunking and kicking would definitely be disgusting if it weren't for the Christmas game.

"oh."

The young marshal's face was expressionless. Despite his gentleness, he really wanted to create an atmosphere like this at the beginning. After all, they are low horses. To create the impossible, they must have such energy!

Coach Bread here directly signaled everyone on the sidelines not to be affected:

"We are the stronger side. If we play according to tactics and give the ball to James, we will definitely win."

Ha ha……

This sound could be heard by the Knicks. Jiang Chao subconsciously looked at Tyronn Lue on his assistant coaching staff. It turned out that the person who "gives the ball to James" was Bread Brown.

But the Knicks assistant coaches felt disrespected. Clifford, who was in charge of defense, was a grumpy old man. He was responsible for defense. He shouted directly from the sidelines:

"James Harden, you guard LeBron James, Turk Drew, you guard Anthony Parker!"

"It's all James, there's no difference! Give him a fight! Don't be cowardly!"

"Not a bad idea."

Jiang Chao praised Clifford in his heart. This is the reason why he recruited him. His ability to change defensive formations is good.

Instead of using the average Turk-Drew guard who guarded James in the playoffs last season, he used Harden, who is faster and stronger!

I just don’t know if the effect can be improved. After all, James is stronger than all the Knicks perimeter players.

Harden nodded in agreement and faced the super giant James who he was still looking up to last year.

The super rookie who led his team to the finals as a rookie, the strongest little emperor!

Sure enough, the ball was given to James, and Harden directly defended him.

As expected, James didn't do much dribbling, he just pushed forward slowly with his back.

It seems like everyone in the Cavaliers is running, but in fact, O'Neal is pulling to the outside, which is clearly to open up a breakthrough for James.

"Hey, hey! Take a step back and guard against your right hand!"

Jiang Chao here couldn't help but remind him loudly, you can't defend James so closely. This is James who is bulldozing through and has no solution. You have to force him to shoot.

Many Cavaliers fans at the scene were impressed by Jiang Chao's introduction. It's okay. This boss is not a game fan as everyone rumored. Isn't this very dedicated and understandable?

And after Jiang Chao reminded him, James really made a move, using his huge muscles to turn around and walk to the right like a tank, trying to run over James and rush into the inside.

But Harden's tonnage is also pretty good. He shifted his center of gravity to the right and quickly caught up without being pushed away.

James didn't have the ability to pull backhand. He just rolled for a layup. After discovering that Harden had been covering him, he also wanted to use his bounce to directly hit the board. He jumped high in the paint area and hit the board. The ball was too powerful.

It floated directly out from the front frame!

Be on guard!

But he missed the goal on the inside. Again, O'Neal's defensive area was too large, so he could cover two people by himself. Antoine Jamieson missed the ball and made a tip-in easily.

"Hey, protect the backboard, protect the backboard!"

Curry, who looked frustrated from the outside, was catching and controlling the ball while applauding his teammates to encourage him. In fact, in his opinion, if Harden focused more and thought about turning around to grab the rebound when LeBron took the shot, it would be useless.

You can grab it before Antoine Jamison.

But I don’t know if Harden is just inertia. He likes to stand there and watch after finishing a set of defense. This is a big defensive shortcoming.

Harden himself was also angry. He had obviously blocked James' attack alone, but it would be very hurt if someone grabbed an offensive rebound.

"You are not the boss, do you still dare to complain about your teammates??"

James and Curry are old acquaintances here, and he even signed Curry's college jersey twice. After Antoine Jamison scored a tip-in, he trash-talked him.

"I will show my competitiveness!"

Curry is not incompetent and furious at all, nor can he chat with his idol James. Now everyone is in charge. He has already controlled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt at a faster pace.

Harden also looked at the boss who reminded him just now and nodded heavily.

He put James' left hand right just now. He seems to be really not used to changing directions on the left!!

The boss is so awesome! Watching football live is really different!

Suddenly his confidence in the game increased again.

But just as he was thinking, Curry faced Xiao Mo after halftime, who took a step back and was worried that Curry would break through again and find a pick-and-roll. He stopped the ball directly outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer without any warning.

After reacting, Xiao Mo could only extend his hand symbolically.

The arc is very high!

Goal scored!!!

"Curry, another one of the Knicks who has been thrust into the starting lineup, has shown some success in the beginning. He is so confident!"

In the next round, Antoine Jamison wanted to repeat the same trick, but this time Turk Drew cut the ball in advance, so he could only lay up with his right hand and one hand. The layup was instantly blocked by the invincible

David Lee slapped him away!!

I open this door!

Brother Li’s inside defense ability!

Curry jumped up smartly to block the ball, and accelerated immediately after dribbling the ball.

It was also the first time that the young coach made tactical gestures on the sidelines:

"Quick attack, charge up!"

"Rush up!"

Cole, Mustache and others shouted from behind.

The Cavaliers have an old fast-break defensive invisible man (Ou Pang). To have this kind of opportunity to switch fast breaks after blocking a shot, the Knicks require everyone to decisively push the speed to catch it!

Curry is still cool. After James came to help defend, he deliberately felt the confrontation from James. Although he suddenly turned around and took off his strength due to his bad luck, he passed LeBron without slowing down while traveling!!!

Then he rushed inside to attract double-teams and then passed a direct pass to Turk Drew who was ambushing in the left corner!

But Jamison is so powerful, he really chased after him. Turk Drew's shot speed is relatively slow, so his shot may be blocked!

"Harden, come over and respond!"

Curry really has the heart of a point guard. Before Turk-Drew made a choice, he asked Harden to go over to prevent Turk-Drew from being double-teamed and stopping the ball!

Like a boss!
