NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 250: The end of the 2009-2010 regular season! The Knicks’ final ranking!

April 14th.

On the final day of the regular season, female ticket manager and secretary Liu Yan also rushed back from Jinling to watch the game with Jiang Chao.

Knicks vs Denver Nuggets!

The challenge of the previous King of New York!

Both teams have the same ranking in their respective half zones, and the final record has nothing to do with the ranking, so everyone played the main players for 20 minutes.

You say it's impossible for the Knicks not to be affected by Jiang Chao's idea of ​​resting. At the end of the season, after confirming the fourth place in the Eastern Conference, they began to significantly reduce the playing time of the main players. Of course, their substitute playing is also quite good.

Then came the weird lineup of Beverley Mills, Gallinelli, Q. Ibaka.

Who does this lineup rely on to score??

Mills!!

After Mi Shen endured a season, he finally ushered in his pure scoring mode!

Mainly because he can bully anyone he faces with his height.

That is Ty Lawson, who is also a rookie this year!

This was the first time that Mills encountered a player who could bully him physically. As a second-round pick, he had no fear of Lawson, a first-round pick. He activated his Australian bite skills and directly forced Lawson to make 5 turnovers in the game.

Mills himself had 6 steals, 2 of which were made by the veteran 6 on the court. After the opponent's big center Nene got the rebound, he directly grabbed the ball from underneath. With his unlimited energy and the speed of a fire ant,

Simply don't be too strong.

Coupled with Mills' microwave attributes on the offensive end, he can shoot when he catches the ball, shoot when he dribbles, and shoot 3-pointers on a fast break!

He made 7 of 12 three-pointers and scored a total of 23 points, 2 of which were 31 free throws.

What is Mi Shen! (tactical retreat)

This is the rice god who got the right to fire!

I have to say that Jiang Chaoxuan's people are no cowards. In the end, perhaps because he was tired of being beaten by Mills, Lawson directly clashed with Mills, but he didn't expect that Mills was tougher than him. He and Nene pushed him twice and then he was forced to fight.

He didn't take a step back, and even Anthony scolded him on the bench.

Instead, Beverley and him from the Knicks teamed up to push Lawson to the ground and both ate him.

"This guy is so unpredictable when he fights."

"What a quick steal!"

"This kid didn't perform well this season, but he was quite tough in the end."

"It's okay. Although he's not as strong as Matthews, he's really good at breaking up fights. He can be used when he comes up."

"It's just his height that limits him."

"Yes, Lawson's ability to combine the ball with the opponent is much better than him. Mills can only play shooting guard. Let him organize and attack with the ball, which is a weak link."

"It's okay, just make the three-point shot accurately. I enjoyed watching the three-point arrow today."

"His three-point shooting is as good as Curry's, and he's more decisive than Curry."

"Nonsense, it's all about catching and shooting, how can I not be decisive?"

Bella's uncle and some old fans around him were all talking about this bald boy.

The audience even called him the "King of Australia".

Jiang Chao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the audience's reaction.

In fact, this kid is a genius. He cannot be a pure main player because his height of 185cm is too easy to be targeted. During the Spurs period, he was a backup assassin.

Later, he came to the Nets. Due to injuries in the team, Nash asked him to start. At first, he was really good, averaging 20 per game. Later, he was studied thoroughly and found a 2-meter player with fast movement speed to cover him.

Nothing can be done.

This kind of person is really good at being a substitute. The brutal nature of Australians is very obvious on the basketball court. They will never be soft when they need to shoot, and they will fight when they need to fight, even if I am 50 pounds lighter than you.

"This is why Boss Jiang bought him as a second-round pick from the Trail Blazers. He's so slippery, like a top."

Spike Lee proudly introduced Mills to Nuggets fans, who was also one of the second-round guards appointed by Jiang Chao.

The better Mills performs, the more the Blazers will be exposed by the net.

This season, with King Oden and Huang Mamba Roy being reimbursed for the season again, the Trail Blazers have no one available, and the Knicks have too many newcomers to train. Now think about it, if Matthews and Mills give the Blazers

Training, doesn't it mean that the Blazers have an x ​​factor in the playoffs?

"It's still okay, senior, do you think he is better than Sun Yue?"

"To be honest, I don't think it's the slightest bit stronger."

"Well, he will also be the biggest opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia in the future."

Jiang Chao also sighed a little when he looked at it. This is indeed much better than Guo Yifen, Sun Dasheng and others. Only by seeing such top fiba players play with your own eyes can you know how good the defenders of the Chinese Dynasty are.

Jiang Chao doesn't know if he can train a Chinese defender to shine in the NBA in the future. He only knows that Chinese players can only shine from the inside and are really not good at outside.

And for a guard who is so short in Australia, he has one move that is very popular in the NBA. His old 6-foot-stealing style is to attack the defense and kill three-pointers. If he practices these three moves to death, he will be a very awesome role player.

.

The Knicks players would not disappoint the on-site supervision of the boss and the boss's wife. With Gallinelli's fatal breakthrough in the end and scoring 21, the Knicks defeated the Denver Nuggets 113:103 in the final game.

A happy ending!

At the same time, as the Heat lost to the Clippers in the finale, the New York Knicks ended up ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses!!!

Handsome Abby!

But in fact, for Jiang Chao, it is the passing line. In the era of 50 wins in later generations, this win is really the passing line. It is true that only by reaching this win can he enter the playoffs.

However, the Heat have been somewhat unlucky recently. It can also be said that they want to meet the Knicks more. In the last 10 games, they defeated the Magic three times and twice against the Celtics, who were 2-3 in the Eastern Conference.

In the end, they all lost, causing the Knicks, who were originally fifth, to be fourth, and the Celtics, who were originally fourth, to be third. Instead, the Heat fell to fifth. It was the playoff team with the largest ranking fluctuations in the last 10 games.

Team up.

But it seems that for the Heat players, they want to play the Knicks more than playing the Bulls for the third time??

uh-huh?

Two hours later, with all the Western Conference games played, all 82 regular season games for the 30 teams in the 2009-2010 season were completed.

Among them, 14 teams took the holidays and went home to fish.

There are still 16 teams preparing for the most exciting playoffs!

The Knicks are in the playoffs for the first time since 2004!

"It's been 6 years. Do you know how I have spent these six years?"

Fans outside Madison Square hugged each other happily and excitedly. They were too lazy to talk about Jiang Chao. Regardless of the playoff record, fourth place in the Eastern Conference is already a satisfactory answer for Jiang Chao's boss.

The Black Ginger Super Association was disbanded on the spot, directed by Spike Lee:

"Don't put pressure on the team in the playoffs, you know?"

"clear!"

"No matter how badly you beat me, I won't give you a bad word!"

"It's better not to lose too many points at home. I don't want to see a score difference of 58 points..."

At this time, Jiang Chao was not particularly moved. Maybe the management or Liu Yan beside him had covered his face with tears of excitement. The pressure at the beginning of the season was still vivid in his mind, but now he has become famous and ranked fourth in the regular season.

, this has the taste of the Knicks at their peak back then!

After the game, Jiang Chao was forcefully dragged to the locker room by Downey Jr. to dance and celebrate together, and even asked him to speak. However, he gave the opportunity to Sean Marks, who just sat on the stool and applauded happily.

The mind is as calm as water.

Jiang Chao already knew that he would make the playoffs when he formed this lineup, and the fourth place was not much higher than his expectations. After all, there are only three strong teams in the Eastern Conference.

Fourth to seventh are pretty much the same.

There is a time when we are together and when we are apart, nothing lasts forever.

Now is just a small beginning.

And Sean Marks obviously didn't say he was particularly happy. He said that the current record in the Western Conference is only the threshold for the playoffs. It is a fact that the Eastern Conference is weaker. Everyone, cheer up and continue to create miracles!

Curry:

"I want to become the champion!!"

…

Judging from the record of the Western Conference, it is obvious that the Western Conference is much stronger. The Knicks' record in the Western Conference is tied for eighth, but in the Eastern Conference, they are fourth. Therefore, this year more people say that the Eastern Conference is richer, and several Western Conference bosses have proposed

The east and west are merging.

The overall situation of the 2009-10 season is very similar to that of the 2008-09 season. The pattern of the Western Conference has become even more miserable. The last time some people were surprised that the Suns won 46 games in the 08-09 season and did not make the playoffs.

However, in the 2009-10 season, the top eight teams in the Western Conference all had 50 wins. The Great Western Conference was so miserable.

However, Jiang Chao, as the boss of the Eastern Conference, can’t bear to see that a weak team like the Charlotte Bobcats can reach eighth place, haha.

But it is this eighth that makes Boss Qiao vow to buy this team next year.

After celebrating in the locker room, Jiang Chao, D'Antoni, Sean Marks, Stevens, and Messina went to New York's Haiqing Bar to order a small drink, celebrate briefly, and chat about the season.

It can also be regarded as a summary of the playoffs.

It is still the Lakers who won the top spot from the miserable Western Conference. As the defending champions this season, the Lakers continue to attack the championship. Now it depends on whether the Lakers can continue to win the championship after joining their original rival Artest and Ariza to switch teams.

These two are actually very cool. Artest joined the Lakers for 33.95 million in 5 years, and Ariza joined the Rockets in the same 5 years for 33.95 million. It is really a coincidence. However, both of them signed free contracts last year, and many people also suggested

Signed by the Knicks.

But one person wants to be the boss and the other wants a championship, but the Knicks can't give it to them, okay?

Kobe Bryant, leader of the Lakers and the league's first man, averaged 38 minutes per game, scoring 27 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals. However, the most impressive thing about Kobe this season is his kills again and again. This season

Kobe made 6 buzzer-beaters, tying the NBA's statistic of buzzers with 6 buzzer-beaters in a single season.

The most exciting time was of course the extremely difficult three-point buzzer beater he hit in front of Wade when facing the Heat. At the age of 31, Kobe was at the peak of his career.

This buzzer beater is also the top ten in the regular season.

The Knicks only had one goal selected into the top ten goals of the regular season, and that was Curry's sixth-ranked three-pointer to beat the Cavaliers, which also brought glory to the Knicks.

D'Antoni still misses his Suns, toasting with Jiang Chao, smiling and saying to former general manager Cole:

"The sun is starting to move."

"What are you talking to me about? I have nothing to do with the Suns anymore. I am focusing on training Curry now."

After a chaotic season in Phoenix, Gentry led the team. Gentry followed D'Antoni's philosophy and led the league in points per game at 110.2.

Amar'e Stoudemire returned from injury and averaged 23.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in 82 games this season.

The 36-year-old Nash averaged 16.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 11 assists per game.

There is another second-year player in the Suns, Goran Dragic, who only contributed 7.9 points this season, but his story is about to begin in the playoffs. The Suns have 55 wins this season, ranking third in the Western Conference.

This can be regarded as satisfying to both the Suns and the Knicks. Kerr and Downey Sr. confirmed that they broke up peacefully and both brought happy results to their respective teams, which is still very good.

Of course, the Knicks' management team is most concerned about the Thunder, which has done the most transactions. With the addition of the four tough guys and Gibson recommended by Jiang Chao, the Thunder has directly reached the second place in the Western Conference, which is an improvement over last year.

Daqie is also hailed by ESPN as the biggest dark horse in the Western Conference, and is also a team that is very likely to reach the finals.

In the third season of Kevin Durant's career, at just 22 years old, he has already contributed 30.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists, becoming the youngest scoring leader in league history. Second-year Westbrook averaged 16.1 points per game.

Points, 4.9 rebounds, 8 assists

At this time, the Thunder's third-leading player was Jeff Green, averaging 15 points per game.

The Knicks sent Harrington averaging 14 points per game, Chandler averaging 8.3 points per game, and Little Potato averaging 9.5 points per game. They are all good players.

Mr. Pu even made a special call to congratulate each other.

The funniest thing is the Mavericks. Both the Mavericks head coach and the Knicks head coach breathed a sigh of relief, as the Knicks won the last game and the Mavericks defeated the Spurs miserably.

The records of the two teams turned out to be exactly the same, and the records of both teams were also tied at 1-1.

In other words, the betting contract between Carlisle and Stevens is tied? This makes Jiang Chao a little confused. Is this okay???

Is fate so funny?

But Carlisle is obviously the more surprised party. He almost went to the Knicks. You know, he led the team to the third best record in the league last season!!

What are you doing!

This magical story was also spread in the fan circle. In the end, it was more about praising the Knicks' record. It only takes one year to rebuild. You have to know what the Mavericks are equipped with!

The Mavericks first acquired Shawn Marion through a trade in the summer to increase their forward strength. Josh Howard has declined significantly this season, averaging only 12.5 points per game. The Mavericks did not hesitate to trade him to the Wizards.

, in exchange for Caron Butler.

Coupled with Nowitzki, Kidd, Terry and other famous players...this record is only tied with the Knicks!

Coach Stevens gave Carlisle a wave of blessings:

"I hope we can meet at the top!"

"I hope so too!"

Jiang Chao touched his nose. It didn't matter whether Carlisle came or not. His coaching staff was already super strong. It was just a bit embarrassing that he failed to succeed. Fate played a little joke on him.

But anyway, if the Knicks really lose, then he doesn't know whether he should accept the resignation letter from the young coach...

When Hayward comes, it will be awkward for the young marshal to leave.

Now the results are very good. As for a coach like Carlisle, there are three or four academics like him in his coaching staff.

…

Here Messina and Sean Marks, the two former Spurs, have sad faces. The Spurs are so miserable this year. The Spurs only won 50 games this season. The team seems to be troubled by age issues. It seems that they will never get back.

It's time to compete for the championship.

But Jiang Chao knows that they are strong. This season is entirely because Richard Jefferson and the Spurs are too incompatible. However, they were really unlucky to meet the Thunder in the first round. The Spurs are most afraid of talented teams and are also most afraid of turtles.

It’s the rhythm of a round trip.

After talking about the irrelevant West, naturally we have to talk about the East, which is closely related to the Knicks.

Compared with the fierce Western Conference, the situation in the Eastern Conference is obvious, with three pillars standing against each other. Even if Jiang Chao is the owner of the Knicks, he has to say that there is a gap between other teams and these three teams in terms of configuration and experience.

But at the end of the season, the original three-legged situation turned into a two-power struggle because the Celtics were troubled by age and injuries.

Last season, Cleveland was ravaged by Howard in the Eastern Conference finals, so they signed the 38-year-old O'Neal in the hope of strengthening the interior.

LeBron James' performance this season is still comprehensive, averaging 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game. The 8.6 assists also broke the assists per game record set by Larry Bird in the 1986-87 season (86-87).

Bird averaged 7.6 assists per game in the 1987 season).

In addition, Mo Williams and Jamison can both score 15.8 points. The 38-year-old O'Neal averages 12 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. All statistics are already the lowest in his career. However, Cleveland still has the league's best record of 61 wins and 21 losses, which is also the best record in the league.

The only team in the league to win 60 games that season.

Little Emperor is undoubtedly the King of the East.

If the Knicks can advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, even if they face the Cavaliers, they will still have a headache about who can guard a striker like James.

After losing in the Finals, the Magic increased their forward strength. They signed Vince Carter and sent away Turkoglu. Howard's performance this season is still outstanding, averaging 18.3 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, and Carter 16.3 points and 3.9 rebounds.

3.1 assists, Lewis 14.1 points, and Nelson 12.6 points.

These stable players are their foundation. Of course, in the playoffs, Howard's ability as an inside barrier will be infinitely amplified. Super centers are really useful in the playoffs.

Although the Celtics were finally moved to third place, they were six games behind the Magic and had fallen down the echelon.

Garnett's performance declined slightly after returning from injury, averaging 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. All statistics were the lowest since his rookie season. Pierce still output steadily 18.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists, and Ray Allen 16.3

Points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists, Rondo 13.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.3 steals, Perkins 10.1 points and 7.6 rebounds.

With these people backing up, the young coach and the others all feel that Kaizi has his own playoff attributes, and that after Garnett comes back, he might be able to reach the end of the playoffs.

Jiang Chao remained silent. Unsurprisingly, Kaizi should reappear in the yellow-green battle this season.

Then there are the Knicks in fourth place and the Heat in fifth place. Jiang Chao is quite proud when he thinks about it, talking about his own team so quickly.

Why are the Knicks fourth?

as well as.

Why do you have the confidence to take the initiative to meet the Knicks and the Heat?

"You dare to take the initiative to fuck us when you are fifth? Then I will definitely show you some color!"

This is what the fans said when they imitated Jiang Chao at the conference. This time the fans guessed Jiang Chao's psychology very accurately. Indeed, Jiang Chao has such a character.

Do you like it?

Do you think the new Knicks are a soft persimmon when they make it to the playoffs for the first time?

Judging from the historical experience of major sports events, such teams generally do not get good results!

The playoffs are coming!
