NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 288: Being fined for sexy tricks, Hai Shuai and Pickle join forces to play with the throne

The AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami is covered in silver, but the game is in full swing inside.

From the beginning, the packed arena was cheering for the Knicks, to now everyone is watching all this with concentration... Everything stems from the Knicks team's determination not to abandon or give up!

Originally, this game was a hot topic outside the game because of the Knicks' "slowness". Fans clamored for refunds and even asked Jiang Chao to foot the bill. The Heat also stated before the game that this was disrespectful to their opponents, and even guard Chalmers directly said that the Knicks

He is afraid.

But Wade said he would vent all his anger on this game.

Because after their humiliating defeat in early December, this Christmas game is waiting for home revenge??

As a result, we didn’t know until half the time before the game that half of the “enemies” on the opposite side were not coming??

And even if Yao Ming came, he was not in the starting lineup from the beginning and did not play a minute in the first quarter??

Is this considered an indirect rotation?

Netizens pointed their fingers at Jiang Chao. This is what Jiang Chao expected. He just has to bear everything. The health of the players comes first.

Including the five players who were legitimately sidelined due to injuries, the Knicks rested six players in this Christmas game. Yao Ming was on the lineup but did not play for a minute.

Originally, Yao said that he could definitely play, but Stevens said that Yao Ming's career data should be preserved and not drop any further.

Although Yao Ming doesn't care about himself, the number of points he averages is not as important as winning the championship, and he also wants to contribute to the team. What the Heat people said before the game was too ugly.

"Who said we would just give up?"

Stevens smiled and told Yao to just watch the game with peace of mind. Even though they were taking turns to rest, the whole team was impressed by Jiang Chao's words in the super chat group:

"If we can kill the Big Three as mere substitutes, will the Big Three lose their face???"

This is indeed the case at the scene. Wade never expected that the Knicks, a pure new team, did not come here to torture you. The various scenes of the Big Three connecting with each other to torture you did not appear!!

The score in the first quarter was 17:17!

It can be seen how strong the defense is. Yi Jianlian stands inside and plays center, using high jumps again and again to influence the Heat's attack on the inside. It doesn't look so fragile???

And apart from him, the other insider is Ibaka. Each of these two players played 39 minutes in this game, and they were really tough.

It also gives them the opportunity to fully demonstrate their strength when there are only a few young coaches and few rotations.

In the first quarter, the young coach actually used starting Beverley and Matthews to smother Wade. These two people were already very effective in guarding Wade in the playoffs last season.

And George tried his best to guard James, and it also gave him the best training opportunity to guard James alone. After the first quarter, his first sentence was that he would gain weight in the future! He didn't want to be knocked away so ruthlessly.

However, he showed off in the second quarter. Taking advantage of his ability to be more flexible than James, he even played with the throne. When James didn't expect it, he suddenly accelerated past someone with the ball, then changed direction, pulled back, and made an emergency stop.

Jump shot!

Handsome balloons in!

James, who immediately followed up and wanted to cover up the defense, was almost knocked down by George's move! He was knocked out of the space by two steps. From that moment on, no one complained about the gold content of this game.

Rookies challenge veterans, this kind of duel will never go out of style as long as it comes back and forth!!

Because in the next round, James directly crushed George in the paint like a tank, and succeeded in a bulldozer layup!

The second quarter belongs to Matthews and George. As a shooting guard, Matthews is all about sudden points. He is more impactful than Beverley and has become a master of attack. He is the only one who can run over Chalmers.

Basketball defender.

This makes Knicks fans lament that if Mills was used for a few less minutes and Matthews was used for a few more minutes in G7 last season, would the result be completely different?

But Mills in the third quarter let the Heat home fans know what a real big heart & Mills’ dad is!

After going 0-for-5 in the first half, he came on as a substitute in the second half and turned into a rice god in the third quarter.

Faced with the guard of veteran sharpshooter Miller, is it okay for him to go around the pick-and-roll and shoot a three-point jumper in the first round???

In the next round, after Hayward actively stole the ball, he directly chose to dribble and shoot a three-pointer in a 3-on-2 fast break, and the ball went in again!

Substitute Yao stood up. What kind of magical fire ant can he make it to?

This is the speed that only belongs to a small man. He shoots very fast. In the end, as he met Bosh's long arm and scored a long two-pointer in another round, Coach Spoelstra directly called a timeout!

He's going crazy, okay?

Originally, the Heat gradually led by 9 points in the third quarter, but Mills caught up with him in 1 minute alone???

Why are the Knicks' substitutes like dog-skin plasters? They are too clingy!!!

This makes tonight's Christmas Eve definitely uneasy, especially in the fourth quarter, when the Knicks, who have already seen hope of victory, are like hyenas pounced on the Heat.

After Wade used his speed to beat Yi Jianlian for a layup, the young coach who was already famous throughout the United States directly and decisively replaced the dead five to limit the Heat's performance!!!

Beverly Matthews George Hayward Ibaka

In the first round, Ibakala went to the free throw line to shoot Haslem and succeeded!

The mascot did not believe in evil and wanted to beat Ibaka hard in the next round, but before he could turn around and throw the ball, the moment he turned around, Beverley, who happened to be passing by, fell to the ground like a mad dog and snatched the ball away.

He dropped the ball and then quickly passed it to Matthews who dribbled better.

Ma's thigh dribbled like a little motor, and he faked shots from beyond the three-point line to attract defenders, and then directly hit the ground to George who was following up. George received the ball and went straight to the basket without stopping, holding Bosh high.

Hit the board and score!!!

"So fast!"

"This is faster than the Heat!"

"There is nothing we can do. There are five 20-year-olds on the field. No matter how young James is, he can't outrun them."

"The main reason is that the Heat are not strong inside, and now Bosh has fouled 4 times!"

…

"Good shot, Silky General!"

At this time, Jiang Chao was drinking sugar-free Coke on the sofa in the villa. Next to him were the cute Yang Chaoyue and Kanna Hashimoto, who was obsessed with watching anime recently.

They don't celebrate Christmas, but others do, so the villa is brightly lit, all decorated by Swift, Scarlett and the others, and a big Christmas tree in the living room.

Jiang Chao, on the other hand, watched a football game while they were cooking and saw the bloody side of the Knicks bench.

In fact, there are not many future generations who are steady and ruthless, but they work hard!

For example, Hayward relied heavily on pick-and-rolls in later generations, and George was also the leader in rhythm. But in the last quarter, they just used the physical strength and speed of their forwards to kill. George rarely moved with his hips in the fourth quarter.

The ball is on show.

On the one hand, it's because of your youth, on the other hand, it may be the coach's request. If you are young and nervous, you should reduce your technical movements and return to your original nature.

The result was really good. With Hai Shuai and Pickle teaming up to close the door, James made a mistake in passing Bosh and Danny Green, who was assisting on defense on the outside, rushed and grabbed the ball. The Knicks went on another run.

3 o'clock and one line.

Danny Green held the ball from the top of the arc, passed it from outside the three-point line in seconds, cut through 3 points, got rid of the slowest James Jones, and cut to Hayward at the basket.

Hayward caught the ball and dunked with both hands! The whole scene was silent!

because……

The Knicks overtaken!!

The young marshal’s disciple! The seemingly thin Hai Shuai fully played his role in the fast break, and the forward combination with George was full of energy!!!

"Hayward looks like he's playing better than he did in his previous life."

The commentators all said that this was thanks to the young coach. On a team that doesn't like passing the ball, how could such a ball be passed? Danny Green just threw it from the top of the arc. After all, there were three people rushing to grab the offensive rebound.

Jiang Chao posted a message: "Learn from each team, this is also a way to defeat the Big Three."

This is another way to defeat the Big Three!

Use magic to defeat magic!!

The double center is to contain you from the final point, while the five-small lineup is to follow you to death in the first step. You can face the two of me for a layup. I can't catch you at my height, but you will never be able to pass us in one step.

anyone!!!

External iron gate!

At this moment, unless you have James and Bosh Wade in the low post to defeat your opponent, it will definitely be time-consuming and laborious for you to attack from the outside, because the opponent is always in front of you.

The same goes for after switching defenses.

And judging from the lineup on the field, the first step of the three interior forwards' help defense is so good. Fans have seen George's defensive end start to show off, because his speed, jumping, height and wingspan are all visible talents to the naked eye.

But they ignored Hayward, who is as tall as George. In this game, Jiang Chao wanted to applaud Hayward, so he directly beat himself up, with red marks on his arms after the confrontation!

Jiang Chao knows that this is the league's first-class all-around striker who is most unafraid of confrontation in future generations!

Jiang Chao chose him not because he has connections, but because he can play in the harsh and cold northwest Salt Lake City. He is not a coward, right?! The only worry is actually injuries.

In the 2010-11 season, Hayward played 72 games on behalf of the Jazz, but only started 17 games. His average of 5.4 points and 1.9 rebounds per game was difficult to gain recognition from the outside world.

Of course, at that time, everyone knew what was limiting Hayward's performance.

Because Salt Lake City was not his team at the time, the ball could not pass his hands at all, and he was more of a defensive presence replacing AK47.

Therefore, in the summer of 2011, the Jazz traded Deron, and since then Hayward has become the team's primary training target.

In the 2011-12 season, Hayward started 58 games and his scoring average more than doubled.

Gradually, Hayward began to win the trust of the head coach and his teammates, so that in the 13-14 season, Hayward reached the peak of his personal career: this year, his average playing time per game reached 36.4 minutes (

career high), averaging 16.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, which also fully demonstrates his versatility.

He experienced firsthand the disintegration of Utah's pick-and-roll 2.0.

Experienced the tears of the tough coach Jerry Sloan on the battlefield.

After experiencing the twin-tower era of Millsap and Jefferson, he became the ace core of this new team in his fourth year in the industry.

It’s just that he was too stable later on, and his data never made any qualitative breakthroughs. This is why Jiang Chao chose him instead of reusing him like George.

Hayward is a swingman with comprehensive skills.

He can both attack with the ball and run without the ball; he has a solid mid-range shot and a certain ability to attack at the basket; his tall stature allows him to make offensive choices with ease, and he can also contribute on the defensive end.

However, comprehensive technology often means that there is no final and absolute killer move.

He seems to know a little bit about everything, but nothing seems to be at the top level of the league.

Therefore, he can only play a role in an average system or in the hands of defenders with good passing skills. For example, now, when everyone has the ball and everyone has to pass to the point guard, he has shown the energy he should have as a lottery.

The goal that must be scored will never be missed!

But if George, like George, challenges the opponent's main star to score a one-on-one goal, Hayward would most likely not score. He is not the person to do this job.

Just cutting on the defensive and offensive ends is enough!! No matter what, in the previous All-Star season, he was also a striker who averaged 20 points per game, and his skills are really top-notch!

However, the shortcomings of rookies' playing are also very prominent, that is, they make too many mistakes.

At the end of the fourth quarter, as Coach Spoelstra asked the team to slow down their success rate, James and Wade picked and rolled and Wade made several mid-range shots. After that, the score difference has been hovering at 4-8 points.

One time when the Knicks were going for a fast break, it was directly sent to Wade's hands. The serious Flash got so fast that he even said he was in charge!

In the last 2 minutes, after Bosh left the game with 6 fouls, the Knicks found a certain opportunity. Yi Jianlian came on the court and scored 2 goals from Haslem, but James' superstar nature was undoubtedly revealed at the last moment.

Wade personally fed the ball and pulled away. James singled out Paul George and succeeded in a back-turn jumper!!

Steady, accurate and ruthless!

Although Mills and Beverly chased a three-pointer at the last moment, there were only 1.2 seconds left on the clock. James threw the ball into the air and the time ran out. The Heat struggled to win this special Christmas game.

108:105!

The win was almost the Knicks' third lineup with only 3 points!

It feels like winning, but it feels like not winning. There is an All-Star center sitting out and not playing, and there are still a few four starters in New York who haven't come... This is crazy, it scares the bettor to the point of peeing!!

You must know that the Heat on the other side are all healthy!!

"Merry Christmas!"

"Happy Chrismas!" After the game, the entire Heat team did not mention the Knicks' bravery in this game, but just panted and changed the subject. In fact, their hearts were filled with ups and downs.

Chalmers and Wade are actually thinking about why the Knicks are so difficult to beat. They feel that these five fast lineups are even harder to beat than the Knicks in last year's playoffs. It's so tiring!!!

The Knicks were both excited and tired. After losing, George said unwillingly that it was just a little bit worse. He would have made two fewer turnovers. He made three turnovers in this game, but there was nothing he could do. He was facing the opponent.

Two giants, one is a defensive madman at the forward line, and the other is a shot-blocking leader at the back. Three turnovers are already very good for a first-year player like him.

If he were an agent or Harden, he wouldn't necessarily be able to control 0-2 turnovers.

However, Jiang Chao obviously overestimated the influence of the Knicks players. Compared with his admiration for them, other fans in the United States felt that they were marginal figures who were just breaking out for wages today. Not many people even noticed them.

Turn to fans.

"It seems that I still need a few more games to prove myself."

Jiang Chao thinks this is normal. After all, a debate is not enough. Look at Jennings now. He is getting worse as he plays in the Bucks.

Next to her, Yang Chaoyue always makes surprising remarks:

"I can also perform more wonderful performances, such as dunking on James and knocking down Wade."

"You really dare to say that if you complete this, you will definitely gain 1 million fans in one day." Jiang Chao laughed and touched Yang Chaoyue's head. This is really true. I hope George will have a chance to do it decisively in the future!

Jiang Chao's smile earned him a fine of US$200,000!

Although this game was very intense, the final score difference was like the atmosphere of a Christmas game.

But the NBA fine still came as promised.

Half an hour after the game, when the NBA official website wished everyone a Merry Christmas, the Knicks were also singled out for praise, oh no, criticism.

"The Knicks illegally rested players during the Christmas Eve game and fined the Knicks $200,000!"

"Did the crowdfunding go to the Knicks?" Knicks fans were very happy to see the rookies today.

“Crowdfund crowdfunding!”

"I have a bold idea. If I win against the Heat, will the NBA impose penalties?"

“Let’s have fun and have fun, who wouldn’t want more money? Let alone 200,000 US dollars!”

"Boss Jiang paid a heavy price in order to give the main force a rest."

"200,000...it's so expensive. It's a robbery."

"It's really too serious. Four starters are rested at once, and Yao Ming is not available. What a mess!"

"There is evidence."

"Do you believe it? I just saw Harden drinking and watching football in a bar with a beautiful woman in Christmas clothes..."

…

"Ahem."

Jiang Chao had just finished laughing when he received this message.

The girls were filled with indignation. After all, this was the first time in history that they were fined so much for taking turns.

But in fact, Jiang Chao had already thought of it and later generations took it for granted.

In 2012, the Spurs rested all four major players after playing an away game, and were fined $250,000 by the league.

Xiao Hua later expressed his attitude and position on the issue of rotation many times, but the actual situation cannot completely prohibit this phenomenon.

You can rest if you want, but you can't rest during live broadcasts across the United States, including Christmas games, Thanksgiving and other high-traffic game days. This will not be tolerated by the league and will be punished accordingly.

Jiang Zhaoshan will not obediently fine him and apply for an appeal. 200,000 is money, right?

He said David Stern, if you find the evidence, you will punish me.

As a result, Vice President Ryan posted a short video of Curry and his girlfriend building a snowman outside the house on ChaoChat Moments. It was obviously photographed by a passerby...

Damn, the girl and I ran so fast together to have a snowball fight. Is this an ankle injury?

Jiang Chao consciously withdrew his complaint after seeing the WeChat Moments.

Cough cough cough... admit it.

"Curry, Curry, you made the most expensive snowman in history."
