NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 278: What? The boss is warming up??

Xiaotuo's game experience today was terrible. He likes to play on shooting teams, so that his speed and physical aggression can be fully displayed.

But when the Knicks beat him, they just hit him high and high. He had no chance against Curry, Mills and others. The Knicks' backcourt is too smart. The little potato defends whoever picks and rolls, and it's all the forwards who play.

This 175 dunk king.

Then George stood up and shot the little potato, Hayward pulled out the little potato, and Kyle Anderson came on for 30 seconds at the end of the second quarter to beat the little potato and squirmed and licked the basket...

Indeed, with the addition of three new forward players to the Knicks this year, the average height of the Knicks on the court has basically remained above 2 meters.

It's not like the long-armed monster basketball that Kidd later deliberately pursued, but an offensive team based on defense!

In the sport of basketball, height is the fundamental factor.

The defensive hardware is better than other teams!

"This Knicks is really different. Even if the inside line is strengthened, the forwards are also stronger!"

President Pu frowned as he watched from the sidelines, it’s not easy!

Last season, all teams knew that the Knicks did not have a human shield inside to protect the frame, and the forward movement was slow and could not keep up with the mobile breakthrough outside line. These are the two biggest shortcomings of the Knicks.

And the Knicks seem to have made up for it in the off season???

President Pu thought George was a shooter. Seeing him guard Durant for 2 goals, do you think his defense is okay??

There is also Hayward, who looks very thin now, but his defensive aggressiveness is no worse than that of his senior brother Gallinelli, but his body is still a lot worse, and Gallinelli used his body to force several goals.

As we all know, force-feeding is not a defensive mistake. The Thunder have almost no tactical goals. All goals are scored by single-handedly. There are not many completely missed scenes in single-handedly. The Knicks' defensive flexibility on the outside seems to be due to

What these two first-round forwards bring this year???

General Manager Pu’s think tank also sighed:

"This is not a home court bonus. George's defensive habits are really good. His hands are always near the ball. Westbrook dribbles less in front of him."

"And the Knicks' worst interior line last year has been completely strengthened, because they know that there is a giant spirit guarding the interior line, and the defensive aggression on the outside line is very strong!"

"Yes, last season against the Heat, they were actually timid on the outside. They were afraid of shots and sudden attacks. As a result, their defense was completely disrupted by Wade and Beasley."

At halftime, the Knicks led by 6 points, 64:58.

It’s not to say that both sides are letting it go. This high score is also because everyone wants to show off their strengths in the new season.

A certain degree of letting go means that some opponents do not try to chase shots or commit fouls during unmanned fast breaks, and dangerously fall to the ground to save the ball, desperately rush for rebounds, and there are many fewer early fast break fouls and layup fouls. In this way,

The score is naturally high.

For the Thunder, Durant scored 27 points by himself, including 20 points in the first quarter. The only things that could stop him were fouls and God. The scoring champion really doesn't have any particularly good defensive methods.

And this is a preseason game. The young coach will not use double-teaming to disgust Adu and the fans...

For the Knicks, the new players have been scoring. Howard scored 18 points at halftime, 5 of which were dunks!

But the shooting rate was not very good, 7 out of 13. As a center, the shooting rate was a bit low, let alone free throws. Perhaps for comic effect, Warcraft even made three free throws.

This made Stephen Kerr, a part-time shooting assistant off the court, feel more like Alexander, but there was also a shooting master in the audience, and that was Curry's father, who was also a good shooter.

"Yao is so strong!" Compared to Spark, Lily prefers Yao's attacks. Maybe women like mature and stable ones.

"Of course...this is Yao!"

Here Jiang Chao was practicing Pilates and stretching with Lily while looking at the data table displayed on the TV.

Judging from the first half, the Sparks' low-post offense had a lower success rate than Yao. If he hadn't been the Knicks' highest-paid player, Jiang Chao would have wanted to cancel his low-post attack tactics.

The Knicks gave their big brother face today. As the team's biggest star in terms of salary, he took 13 shots in the half. No Knicks player had such treatment last season.

But it is estimated that only the preseason games have this kind of treatment.

From Jiang Chao's God's perspective in the next ten years, as long as Happy Beast is not allowed to play in low singles, he can teach 99% of the league how to behave inside!

I guess Stevens has also seen clearly that Yao Ming has basic skills, and Howard, a brute force jumping monster, is more suitable for wreaking havoc on the basket in the paint area!

On the contrary, the other Twin Tower Yao, as long as he is allowed to play in low singles, he can teach 99% of the league's insiders!

In the first half, Yao Ming actually played 4 times in isolation, playing a total of 7 minutes before leaving the game. He made 3 of 4 hits, and caused 1 foul.

, there is also a one-handed chop after a small test of breakthrough and confrontation. The various technical movements are stable and mature.

It seems to be shouting to the whole NBA: I am back, the Great Wall of China!

The two really complement each other. If it weren't for Yao's second protection in the paint, some of Howard's rough shots wouldn't be protected by secondary rebounds.

Howard makes up for Yao Ming's shortcomings of slow movement on the defensive end and supports the interior's defensive range when the opponent plays a small lineup.

However, we still couldn't play more. After a few rounds of the opening five-death game, it was all Thunder's 5-on-3 fast break. The Knicks offense couldn't score the ball. The Thunder pushed the fast break for 1.5 seconds and it was past halftime.

Therefore, the Five Great Deaths, which were just a joke, appeared briefly for 4 minutes.

Fortunately, Dayao needs to use it sparingly now.

Just when he was about to feel tired, the coaching staff ordered him to take off work. This was also the most annoying thing for other teams to see. They were upset and felt that Yao was a glass person, cursing him that he would be seriously injured again this season.

, but Knicks uses it so sparingly, and the chance of glass becomes much smaller.

It's hard to imagine what will happen if he is fully healthy next season. Even English commentators are saying that the Knicks' upper limit depends on how much gas Yao Ming has left.

While Yao fans are still unsatisfied, other Knicks players on the court will always bring surprises!

This is not the Rockets whose substitutes are mediocre and deceitful. The Knicks' substitutes play harder than the starters. Facts have proved that as long as the game is good on the court, fans of the stars will turn into fans of the team.

Because the second highest scorer was not Harden or Turk Drew, but Curry who scored 14 points in the half. He hit 3 consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter and made the scene crazy!!

The Knicks' rotation today is a three-forward lineup with Curry, Harden, George Ibaka, and Yi Jianlian, and their performance is no slower than that of the Thunder.

"What do these words mean?" Lily pointed to the pictorial held by several students in school uniforms who appeared on the camera.

"Come on, elementary school students."

"Ah?? Elementary school student?"

"I believe this baby-faced boy even when he talks about kindergarten." Jiang Chao said with a smile.

After the elementary school students came on the court, the elementary school students went crazy. It was so funny. I heard that everyone in the elementary school was shooting three-pointers, even though the Harden generation sold better than the Curry generation in China.

But among the students, the number of Curry fans outnumbers Deng fans!

As Jiang Chao made the action of pressing his legs, Liu Yan, who was in charge of Jiang Chao's social media, took a picture and posted it on major social platforms after Jiang Chao nodded.

"What?? The boss is warming up???"

In the picture, Jiang Chao is looking at the TV screen seriously, showing off his muscles in a short-sleeved suit, with a slight sweat on his handsome face.

The fans were even happier when they saw this Weibo post during halftime:

"The missing person returns!"

"Coach Jiang, come on!"

"Boss, if you really play, no one in the audience will dare to guard you!"

"As a human being, Howard has to feed Jiang Chao cakes!"

"The guys from the Basketball Association off the court have to come up and set a pick-and-roll for Mr. Jiang!"

"Are you a good player? Haha, I've been looking forward to everything you said..."

"Coach Ren Jiang is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, haha."

"Don't tell me, with Boss Jiang's figure, I would believe him even if he was a player."

"The boss still cares about the team!"

"Is this Swift's villa?"

"Is it his own, next door to Swift?"

"Then the question is, who took the photo?"

"Scarlett is at the scene, exclude Scarlett first."

“I saw the pillows on the sofa were messy!!”

"Don't guess, Miss Liu Yan, the female president of League of Legends! She has always been Jiang Chao's personal assistant."

"It's okay. The boss took a kidney but also cared about the team. He loves it so much!"

"I'm a female fan. I want to sleep on that sofa and watch the game with Boss Jiang!"

"To be honest, my male fans also want to..."

…

As soon as the boss's warm-up teasing was over, the second half of the game officially began.

It seems to be an unspoken rule of the pre-season. After the first two quarters, the main players of both sides showed off, and in the third quarter it was the old, middle and young players' turn to play together.

Gallinelli is also the main force on the Thunder side. It seems that General Manager Pu really likes the Italian gun and even gives him the opportunity to hold the ball in the top arc. Is this the feeling of being cultivated into a sixth man??

"Is this the Knicks on the bench..." Dolan cried at home. The Thunder's lineup was Nate, Chandler, Gallinelli, Harrington, and Jeff Green. It was a small forward lineup, but

He played lively on the court.

All four of them are players from the Knicks. They can also be said to be the starters created by Dolan. Now they are thriving as the substitutes for the Thunder.

Tears!

The Knicks also follow the standard of old bringing up new players. Curry is the "old man" who brings up new players. On the court, Curry, Hayward, George, Ibaka, and David Lee come to face the Thunder's fast forward lineup.

.

It can be considered as a way to continue to fill up the story. Let’s see if the fast-playing Knicks can match the Thunder’s youthful storm!!

The result is a mess!

The Knicks opened the point difference to 20 points in one quarter!

After Curry plays the main point position, he constantly picks and rolls at the shooting point. George and Hayward can cut or pop up. David Lee is not inferior to his big brother Harrington at the basket. He is also faster than Harrington.

He became Little O'Neal.

In fact, the Knicks' own scoring in the third quarter was pretty good, 28:14

Compared with the third quarter, which had nearly twice as many rounds as the first quarter, this score seemed a bit ironic.

But why can't the Thunder score?

Ibaka and David Lee showed what unlimited defense changes are. No matter how the opponent picks and rolls, they can follow people. However, the Thunder's Nate and Chandler are not stable in shooting, let alone other tactics after the pick and roll fails.

!!

"The small ball era is beginning to show its glory."

This is Jiang Chao’s evaluation of this lineup. It’s a bit fun to watch. Although the physical strength and the number of strikes have increased exponentially due to the increase in the number of rounds, it still looks really good and the rhythm of offense and defense transitions is also what the audience likes most.

.

George, the No. 8 pick of the Knicks this year, scored 7 points in the third quarter. One of them was a fast break that stole the opponent's lateral pass and turned around in the air for a 360-degree dunk, which was very smooth!

"talent!"

The Haishuai is obviously struggling more now, relying on breakthrough free throws to score 4 points. The tonnage and strong eating ability that he relied on in later generations seems to be more arrogant now. After all, he has just entered the league, he is still hung up on his body, and he is not so adaptable to confrontation.

.

George has not adapted either, but George's running and jumping ability is better than Hayward's, and George has a good rhythm when playing, and he is worthy of being a silky general.

Even the American commentator praised George's breakthrough pass:

"A high pick is a high pick. His playing rhythm is so handsome, but Hayward is more versatile, a bit like ak47."

There are probably many fans at the scene who remember this handsome striker. Curry once played him with the ball in the top arc. His sudden crotch pullback and then quick jump shot made the audience exclaim.

A rookie dares to fight one-on-one so late, he has the ability.

…

Although the general manager and others asked before the game to show off their style and bring out the Knicks' team spirit, after all, it was still a preseason game.

Although the Thunder's Westbrook and Durant were not playing well at all and were preparing to chase points in the fourth quarter, Brooks also put them on the bench.

It's not that you have to give in and replace him with a substitute, but you can chase but it's not necessary.

The same goes for the Knicks. If you don't play the main force, then we'll step up and play the main force at the same time. Otherwise, we won't be able to connect to anything.

If you want to practice, you have to practice with Wang Zha and see if you can defend or score in front of them. One minute of this kind of matchup is more useful than ten minutes of rubbish.

So in the fourth quarter, both teams played with their third lineups.

The Knicks took out the players they wanted to practice the most and played two shifts, five on and five off twice in a row. And because the three centers were All-Stars, more of them were power forwards to replace the centers.

Matthews, Beverley, George, Hayward, Ibaka.

Mills, Danny Green, David Lee, Ibaka, Yi Jianlian.

Jiang Chao saw a comment on the forum: "Based on the fourth section, medical insurance cards are people who must be cultivated?"

Because he was the only one who played the entire quarter, he was allowed to cooperate with a variety of tactics.

But in fact, Jiang Chao feels that the young coach may be using him to "guarantee". Stevens cannot give up the victory he has won, and Ibaka is the most "guaranteed" defensive gate of the Knicks' bench.

He is mostly used for defense on the court. Whether it is his enthusiasm for returning to defense or his ability to assist in position defense and single defense, Ibaka is a well-deserved substitute T0P1 level. Even among the entire Knicks, his defensive efficiency is in the top 3

of.

This summer, he went to the beach every day to practice the crab walk. It is probably a qualitative transformation. It is obvious that he is no different from Howard in the paint. They are both stable!

The Thunder's substitute lineup is a bit stretched. In the previous life, their bench was not very good, but they let Nate vent his anger in the fourth quarter. Nate Robinson still had the ability to score 10 points in a single quarter when he rushed for a few goals.

In the end, with Danny Green's super long 3-pointer on the countdown, the Knicks defeated the Thunder with a score of 121:102.

Du Laoer was fine after the game, but his defense broke when he saw Jiang Chao's Twitter comments.

It was nice for me to be raped by a fan and become Scarlett's secret lover, but Jiang Chao told Scarlett to drink foot washing water to be a god, how about breaking the defense instantly!

We are all adults, so he naturally understands what Jiang Chao means, and he is so angry!!!

It makes me so damn angry to think that my goddess is drinking the foot-washing water from other team bosses!

Therefore, the Thunder Thief was serious during the second battle held in the Demon City two days later.

Leading by 13 points in the first half, Durant and Westbrook combined to score 40 points!

It’s not that the Knicks are not strong defensively, but there is no team in the league that can guard these two, and coach Stevens actually lets them play one-on-one to train his players’ individual defense capabilities.

Therefore, the game that was originally just a formality turned out to be very interesting. As we all know, too much one-on-one defense will make you angry.

For example, Paul George also got angry when defending Durant in the second quarter. He stepped into the paint and jumped into the air. He dunked the most powerful Master Wei, which suddenly ignited the fans in the Magic City!

Then the atmosphere became more intense in the second half, because the next preseason game was only five days after the China game, and both players wanted to play a little longer.

As Xiaodudou tried to recreate the scene where he dunked Howard in the dunk contest, but was knocked to the ground by Howard with a slap, he retaliated in the next round by knocking down David Lee's layup.

Even though David Lee has a good temper, he immediately stood up and pushed Nate Robinson. The Chinese fans in the lively scene widened their eyes. The tickets were worth buying!

Coming, coming!

The exchange of insults between former Knicks teammates!

Fans said:

"You're a Howard hatter, what does it have to do with David Lee?"

Brother Li was still generous. He didn't know what he said and then he touched Xiaotuo's head and left. Obviously he didn't want to cause trouble in Jiang Chao's country.

Howard was laughing and joking after pulling everyone away. Apparently he thought it was funny himself and wanted to challenge me. With Howard's strength, if Little Potato tried to pull him away, Little Potato himself might be the one who fell.

"This is what today's players are like, they don't play tricks."

Jiang Chao was doing voice clearing exercises with Swift and others in the villa next door while watching the competition. Because Jiang Chao has no system and no natural talent for singing, he has been practicing his voice with Swift recently. Taylor's own singing lessons are okay.

From now on, singing is no longer just about having enough breath to sing half a song. Swift also discovered that Jiang Chao is on the ceiling of creative ability, and his singing ability is a genius for a rookie, so the teacher worked hard. Jiang Chao's image and tone are as long as

If you learn to use your breath to pronounce words, you will have no problem becoming a professional singer.

In this second game, the two sides played until the last two minutes to decide the winner. Although the substitutes played, they played with great passion.

In the end, the Thunder selectively let Yi Jianlian open and allowed the Arab League to hit a 3-pointer from the top of the arc. The Knicks won the game by 5 points.

Two consecutive wins in China!

After the game, Xiaodudou was really hot for three minutes. After playing, he was in peace and love:

"David Lee is my brother and so is Dwight. Trash talk and conflict are part of the game and I don't think it's anything."

Howard first shouted thank you in Chinese, and then said excitedly:

"This is my first game with the Knicks, and it's my first time coming to China in three years. I love it here, and I feel very comfortable in the Knicks."

When randomly interviewing Deng Chao:

"The cheerleaders are pretty good looking..."

Sun Li next to her almost screamed.

The on-site interviewer was naturally the real host of Shanghai Magic City - Yao Ming.

In this game, Dayao, who scored 13 points and 4 rebounds in 8 minutes to try his best, seemed particularly kind:

"It's great to be back among everyone.

The Shanghai Oriental Sharks and I went through a very difficult journey to win the championship back then, and now that I have moved to the Knicks, I need to go through this process again. I believe that everyone will stand with us and go through this difficult and exciting journey again.

Finally, I hope everyone will continue to support us, thank you everyone!"

Coach Stevens praised both sides: "We are a super showdown of Youth Storm. I believe we will make some noise in the East and West."

But in fact, in the eyes of fans, the Knicks have been praised to the heavens. Just kidding, this is the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals and the Lakers in the tiebreaker!

The Knicks defeated this Thunder team with more Gallinelli than last year in two games!

They don't care whether everyone is the main force in the end, they just look at the result and blow it.

Liu Yan quickly ran over and asked Jiang Chao if he wanted to keep a low profile with the reviewers. Jiang Chao said that there was no need to control the reviewers this season. The strength lies here, so let the fans keep a high profile.

Knicks fans are depressed every year. If you can finally brag about it, don't delete the post. Even though there are a lot of cynicism below, the fans can feel comfortable in their hearts.

"Okay, the royal capital's share has been paid, 5 million RMB."

"Okay, comfortable."

All three parties of this Chinese game are making a lot of money. The Chinese game actually means that the organizers will have a hard time. The expenses on venue renovation, venue rental and reception, security, publicity and other tasks are "sky-high". All reception expenses are estimated to be 600.

Between 10,000 and 7 million.

Just to reach the NBA's audio level, you have to rent 160,000 RMB of speakers, and the cost of renting Wukesong Stadium is 1.2 million.

Jiang Chao also learned about food and accommodation.

A total of 400 people came to NBA this time and 700 beds were booked at the five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The Imperial Capital also arranged more than 100 vehicles to pick up and drop off the guests.

After all, the cost of hosting a bj is about 6 million to 7 million yuan.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chao also received a share of 5 million RMB. Jiang Chao felt very satisfied. After all, they did nothing and they did not pay for the air tickets.

The box office revenue in the Imperial City was 15 million RMB, but it is estimated that the income from hidden scalpers was higher. And because it was the NBA China game, I could sell some Yiwu-made peripherals that day, and I also made a lot of money, because I didn’t have to pay NBA copyright fees, and it was a China game.

own copyright.

Jiang Chao signaled Liu Yan to reply to the Imperial Capital to thank them for their hospitality this time and for more cooperation in the future.

Not to mention the Basketball Association, China has nothing to say about entertaining people. Hospitality is the bridge connecting the friendship between the two sides. It is not in vain that Jiang Chao has given so much to Chinese basketball.

"The Basketball Association will get back to you immediately and ask if you have time to return to China to discuss many business matters that are beneficial to you."

"You reply to them, and if everything goes well, we can talk slowly next year."

Jiang Chao naturally has a lot to do in domestic basketball, such as investing in the construction of the Chaoshen Sports National High School Basketball League, but he will not do it this year.

Once such a big plan is launched, it will take several months in the country.

The press conference for the China game was also very fun. Both sides attended together, Turk Drew and Yi Jianlian for the Knicks, and Durant and Gallinelli for the Thunder.

Gallinelli, who had a combined total of 32 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds in these two games, asked reporters what it was like to play against his old club after coming to the Thunder:

"It feels like I haven't left yet. I feel like I'm playing in the team training matches."

Turk Drew: "You idiot, won't you stay and win the championship with us?"

Jokingly said to Turk Drew:

"Boss Jiang told me at first that the future is mine, but now the future is still in your hands, and I'm gone."

Turkdrew teased a little: "You can go by yourself, don't blame us then."

It's not that the agents are bloated, but after playing against the Thunder, I really feel that this team is very strong now, and the two All-Star starters inside are so comfortable and reliable!

Durant didn't know if he just wanted to say casually in China: "See you in the finals!"

…

In 2 weeks, the preseason ends.

The 2010-2011 regular season officially started, and the Knicks got off to a good start and crushed the Eastern Conference's powerful Hawks with 30 points.

It is also officially announced that a brand new super team with the goal of winning the championship has completely emerged in the Eastern Conference!

Jiang Chao said directly when being interviewed by Korean media Zhang Yiyuan at Madison Square Garden:

"I don't care about the Big Three or the Green Army or the Purple Army. I only have champions here!"

I laughed up to the sky and went out. How can I be a Penghao person?

This season, the only goal is to win the championship!
