NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 292: His name is O'Neal!!

Jiang Chao was criticized so badly this time, because although the Heat relied on James' crazy performance in the last few games, they finally overtook the Bulls by 0.5 games and became first in the Eastern Conference.

This means that if the Knicks want to take revenge this year, they must do so in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Otherwise, you won't be able to encounter it.

But there is one honor that puts pressure on the Knicks players.

That is, two of the best defensive teams are from the Celtics.

As expected, Kobe Bryant is aiming for three consecutive championships this year, and he has also been selected to the defensive first team. There are also Howard, James, Rondo and Garnett. The Green Army team has two players, one inside and one outside. Fans jokingly say that these two people can

Guard against 5 people.

Fortunately, Tony Allen, who plays second-team defense, was traded to the Grizzlies, otherwise it would be really scary.

After Mills forwarded it to the Knicks super chat group, everyone panicked.

Defensive assistant coach Clifford: "We are a team defensive lineup, it will be okay!"

Jiang Chao still hit the nail on the head and replied directly in the Chao chat group:

"It is recommended to take a look at the rookie honors."

Although the Best Rookie of the Year is no longer Harden this year, Harden Curry is still on the Best Rookie Team, and George Beverley is also on the Best Rookie Second Team. This shows that the Knicks actually have rookies on both the first and second teams.

Very top.

Among the top 10 most improved players, the Knicks account for three, Ibaka, Danny Green, and Matthews. These three are becoming more and more confident in themselves and are gradually showing their talents.

"You know, these three people haven't received special training from the boss."

"Oh, there's still a lot of room for improvement."

“It’s a lot!”

The Knicks players dream of Jiang Chao training them alone again. Look at the progress of George, Harden, and Curry!

"Don't worry, the playoffs will come one by one, and everyone who needs to be taught will be taught."

It's not that Jiang Chao didn't say anything, but he didn't want to encourage others. He still hopes that everyone can practice their basic skills more comprehensively before teaching them the skills they are best at. A giant like Curry has the ability to study and study on his own.

However, ordinary players may not work hard after experiencing the benefits, and may be easily restricted.

You have to be able to discover a strong move when you have a basic foundation. This is the effect that Jiang Chao's teaching can bring.

For example, Kevin Durant, who has won the scoring title this year for the second time, can win the scoring title because he can do everything. If he could only be a mid-range shooter, he would not be able to win the scoring title so easily.

…

In a blink of an eye.

The first game of the Knicks vs. Celtics begins.

Compared with last year's first round and the Heat, there were a lot of grievances and resentments.

There is actually no conflict with the Green Army this year.

The rise of the Knicks in the last century also coincided with the post-Celtics era. The first championship in the 1970s was won by the New Yorkers.

Willis Reed, who led the defense of this city's honor, also won the regular season MVP, All-Star Game MVP and Finals MVP, becoming the first man in history to win three MVP awards in a single season.

Therefore, many fans are looking forward to whether this Knicks team can start a new post-Celtics era and open a new gap in the Eastern Conference.

But when it comes to match records, some fans specifically brought out the previous match records.

The Celtics won more than they lost against the New York Knicks, but the Knicks looked okay in the playoffs.

"The main reason is that when the Knicks made it to the playoffs, their stars were pretty good, but when they didn't make it, they were basically at the bottom."

"Hahahaha! Yes, as long as the Knicks make it to the playoffs, they will almost always perform well. It's just a matter of luck."

"It's really bad luck. During Ewing's gorilla era, if Jordan hadn't been blocking him in the East, maybe the Knicks would have won the championship!"

"You haven't looked at the data, right? The Knicks were beaten violently when they met the Celtics in the playoffs recently. That was a record from ancient times."

Regular season: 299 wins, 186 losses

Playoffs: 36 wins and 31 losses.

When the two teams meet next season, the Celtics will have a chance to win their 300th game against the New York Knicks.

The Knicks defeated the Celtics 21 times in a row under Patrick Ewing in the 1990s.

In 1951, 1952 and 1953, the Knicks met the Celtics and eliminated the Celtics.

In 1972, 1973 and 1974, the Knicks and Celtics met in the Finals.

The Knicks won the NBA championship in 1973, while the Celtics won twice in the 1980s.

In fact, Jiang Chao also remembers one time when Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks to defeat Boston in 2013 and enter the second round of the playoffs.

Flowers never bloom again. Now Ewing is sitting underneath. He just wants to see the current Knicks pass the Celtics!

Madison Square Garden was packed with 20,000 people. Jiang Chao also invented bench tickets, which cost 100 US dollars each. He sat in front of the stands, but only 500 were sold, which was completely sold out. Outside the venue, scalpers sold out tickets.

Tickets have been sold for as much as 50,000 US dollars each.

Jiang Chao hates this, but there is nothing he can do about it. The real-name system on the Internet has not yet been implemented, and smartphones are not popular. The one-person-one-vote system is too difficult.

Although he stipulates that one person can buy up to 5 tickets when he comes to grab tickets, that is, a family.

But scalpers can also queue as a family...it can be queued in an infinite loop. It was not until the security team relied on naked eyes to supervise the queue that it became much less frequent.

But even if you buy tickets from scalpers, they are basically not worth the money, and everyone is a real fan, so the atmosphere is really nothing to say.

There is a free Knicks fan T-shirt hanging on the seats of all the fans. It is given to everyone for free by Chaoshen Sports. This is the biggest publicity. The T-shirt has a blue background and the team is the Knicks president.

With the orange words of champion, you can see the blue ocean as far as the eye can see.

During the playoffs, few other fans come to join in the fun, and in the past two years, the Knicks' new team has a lot of fans in New York. Everyone loves this team, and all the players on the team's roster are holding big pictures.

However, this set of support t-shirts from Chaoshen Sports has been highly praised because the slogan "Knicks Championship" was shouted too loudly. What's going on?

So arrogant?

The championship slogan is shouted before the fight even starts?

But it’s just arrogant!

No matter what the result is, Jiang Chao wants to win the championship this season, and that's it. He wants all the players to be sure of this.

He is also responsible for losing face, and the psychological implications for the players are unlimited.

Come the playoffs, Jiang Supernatural, who did not invest outside that year, will be at home as promised.

Surrounded by Scarlett, Daddario, Lily, and Swift.

The appearance of the goddess army caused a lot of cheers at the scene. When it comes to year-end summary, the owner of the Knicks is the real mvp!

Ranked among the top 4 in the Eastern Conference for two consecutive years, this boss is really capable!

The opening supporting music was "Welcome to New York!" written by Swift to Jiang Chao. However, Swift did not sing it herself. Some recordings were played, but there were still a lot of people singing along and enjoying themselves.

There will also be a singer singing "Without Makeup" later. The fans who were moved by "Pumping Heart" last year also moved their DNA!

Although Jiang Chao was disturbed by many fans after he arrived at his seat, whistling and ogling him.

But he wouldn't choose the box and sit directly in the third row. If there was something difficult to solve on the field, he could just step in and put pressure on it, right?

Finally, as the DJ music played, the cool portraits of the 15 Knicks fell from the ceiling. In the playoff mode, the arena is all biased towards the Knicks, because it is too profitable. If you can create an atmosphere, create an atmosphere!

Sitting in the first row opposite Jiang Chao, there were also a lot of celebrities from Hollywood and other circles arriving under the protection of security. They all greeted Jiang Chao with winks from a distance, and Jiang Chao also relied on his sports and social contacts.

The circle has accumulated a lot.

And now that Chaoshen Entertainment is developing faster and faster, his network of contacts will only become wider and wider. Beautiful women are attractive, and everyone's eyes will be involuntarily attracted to Chaoshen Entertainment.

A year ago, Chaoshen Entertainment had to spend a lot of time bringing people from Henan to find a lighting team, but now it only takes a phone call to be introduced.

Then he also said hello to Fujii Painter and the animation team who came to watch the game. This year's "Kuroko's Basketball" anime serialization officially ended. Although it was sponsored by Chaoshen Sports, the anime failed to make a big splash in the end. After all,

The latter part is too exaggerated. People who can accept fantasy basketball must be a combination of two-dimensional fans and basketball fans.

Now this author is completely a Knicks fan, and he is still wearing the sky blue color matching boots that Ibaka wore in the slam dunk contest. The gradient blue is amazing!

However, the revenue brought by "Kuroko's Basketball" is not worse than that of the popular circle, because a lot of fujoshi secretly fell in love with this anime, and for the sake of CP, they secretly bought a lot of sneakers of their favorite characters, such as Red Coconut, which is not popular

A lot of them were sold.

You must know that the only promotion channel for this game is "Kuroko's Basketball", which is to investigate how many people come to buy sneakers because of the anime. Chaoshen Sports is not a charity. They also have a market research department. Once they find out that they have paid

If it is completely unequal to their income, they will stop investing immediately.

"Brother Chao, you guys should also put on your T-shirts!" A fan from the opposite side shouted to Jiang Chao.

"Yes, is it possible that this T-shirt has excessive formaldehyde?"

Jiang Chao checked the time and saw that he had time, so he took the goddesses to the independent dressing room to change into support T-shirts. The shared room was a bit crowded, but he was very happy... ahem...

Jiang Chao, who returned to his seat again, put on a T-shirt and looked in high spirits. Players from both sides were already warming up.

Jiang Chao stood up and applauded his players. In the second year, everyone seems much more mature. Curry has grown a mustache. Harden's beard has almost become the peak version. Everything is going to be what he wants to see.

Got it!

All 15 people warmed up on the court in good health. Everyone was in very good physical condition after the regular season.

The Knicks' first game hung on the TV screen.

The Knicks just submitted their starting lineup, and obviously they are not going to bring Dayao out first. After the playoff mode is started, it will not work for Dayao to compete with the opponent's main force from the beginning. Dayao needs to be used as a substitute.

Curry, Harden, Turk Drew, David Lee, Howard.

The Knicks coaching staff is also star-studded. Tyronn Lue and Mark Jackson have been explaining something to Yao Ming. Yao Ming nodded calmly as if he didn't care.

Last year he could only watch from the sidelines, but this year he really doesn't want to have any regrets and just listens to the team doctor and coaching staff.

The same goes for other players. After a year of hard work, the Knicks are back! No matter who you are!

Jiang Chao also looked at the Celtics' starting lineup behind the big screen.

The Green Army didn't start Big Baby and O'Neal like they did in December. They were regular starters this time.

In the playoffs, they no longer hide Garnett, who was selected to the All-Defensive Team this time!

Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, O'Neal!

They look more calm. Except for Rondo, this group of people has experienced too many ups and downs. This first round is really a waste for them.

And Jiang Chao seems to be throwing his weight around. Just kidding, my lineup is bad???

How many MVPs do you have here????

Just when I was thinking about it, the game started!

The monster jumps directly to the ball.

Organize the offense for Curry.

After Larry Hughes was traded, Curry has been sublimated this year by being tortured by major star point guards:

"fist!"

Curry raised his fist high, and David Lee used his steps to pull out to provide Harden with an off-ball screen, and then he chose to take the outside shot to pull out Garnett, who had a large defensive area. Garnett hesitated.

Jiang Chao could tell at a glance that Harden was fake:

"Elevator!"

Sure enough, Ray Allen bypassed Harden directly after being placed on an off-ball screen, but Pierce was slower and Turk Drew barely moved before being blocked by Harden and David Lee to get an open shooting opportunity.

The agent caught the ball and hit a handsome jumper, scoring the Knicks' first score in the playoffs this year!!!

"What a crisp shot, the agent is still so stable!"

When it comes to the playoffs, the agents will have to fully display their 18th class martial arts skills, and there will be no talk of exerting their strength in the second half.

As Stevens said:

"If you want to rest, go to your 4-0 opponent. This way you may be able to rest a few more days than your opponents in the next round."

Jiang Chao agrees very much with this. Don't save any energy in the playoffs. If you can sweep it, sweep it. Just fight without any regrets and be done with it.

It can be seen from the first ball that Turk Drew, who was originally using the old man's looping offensive tactics, suddenly moved so fast that Pierce couldn't adapt.

"The Knicks scored first and played around the stars!"

Here Rivers uses a traditional tactic. Rondo slowly walks to half court and gives O'Neal a transition ball near the free throw line. Then top shooters Ray Allen and Pierce walk around next to him. In this way, with O'Neal's thick body, he can always appear.

Chance.

Not to mention, although O'Neal has gained weight, his presence on the court is not bad at all.

Howard didn't dare to let him go completely. If he tried to challenge him with all his strength, Howard wouldn't budge.

Moreover, O'Neal is actually very good with his hands. Even though he can only hit the mid-range shot at this position, he can also use a small hook.

However, when O'Neal controlled the ball with his back to the free throw line, the Knicks switched to man-to-man marking and defended their opponents tightly.

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

The bonus from the home fans was so great that the other four Celtics players didn't move even half a foot forward.

Then O'Neal simply came by himself. When the 24 seconds were approaching, he didn't look for any more passing opportunities. He rushed to the inside with a heavy shoulder step, jammed Howard's body, and used his weight and rhythm to lick the basket.

No matter how high you jump, Howard, you can't even jump in a head-to-head confrontation with me!

"His name is O'Neal!!"
