The Point Guard is Here

In New York City, no one laughed at little Jack's clumsy act of "secretly cheating Chen Cang on two boats." After all, even the two parties involved didn't jump out and say anything. Couldn't Jack give his trophy to the Clippers? So what if I send it to the wrong one?

Couldn't Jack stay in two hotels in one night? Given his status, it is normal for the mattress in this hotel to be uncomfortable and to stay in another hotel.

The New York media always spared no effort to help Fan Xi modify his image. Even if they paid the price of shaking the earth, they had to straighten Jack Fan's reflection.

The New York Knicks' operations during the All-Star Weekend were rated very high by the local media. The arrival of Reggie Miller, Stephen Jackson and Juwan Howard made the Knicks stronger. They did not spend a lot of money, but they made up for the exposure in the first half of the season. out of defects.

Fan Xi attended the press conference of three new teammates. Generally speaking, players who join in the middle of the season rarely hold press conferences. But to show extra respect for these three people, a press conference was held.

Reggie Miller chatted with Fanci for a long time before the game.

He came to New York with a lot of psychological baggage. His current mood is a bit like that of a woman going to sea for the first time. There is a sense of betrayal and humiliation, as well as a lot of longing for the future and expectations for new postures...

Fan Xi hopes that he can be happier in the future and enjoy life in New York.

Miller asked Fan Xi: Can you quit sex in the future? My last dream is pinned on you. If you mess up and cause the team to suffer at a critical moment, I will have to kill you.

Vansh says, put it on me.

Reggie Miller's idea was kind of like asking Vanhee to wear a condom, just in case. But he didn't know that Fan Xi was different from ordinary men. He became more outstanding and stronger as he became more successful.

Fanci said to Reggie Miller, New York fans are excited about your arrival and they will welcome you in the aisles.

Isn’t it necessary for Reggie Miller to express welcome?

Fan Xi said, what you want is what you want.

In addition to having a lengthy conversation with Reggie Miller, Fancy also went to see Juwan Howard.

Ever since Juwan Howard was dunked over his head by Fanci, he has been in despair. He always feels like the shadow of a nightmare is following him when he steps on the court. In addition, the atmosphere in the locker room in Orlando is really not good. He was the leader of the locker room, but as a result, he became sluggish and Orlando became even more chaotic.

Especially Tracy McGrady and Alan Houston, they have become incompatible. Thinking back to the beginning of the season, McGrady was bragging in front of the media, saying that Alan Houston was the best teammate of his career and that they would be able to create unprecedented good results.

But now, after all, it is just a piece of chicken feathers.

Because the team is in a mess, Juwan Howard is also discouraged. So the Knicks brought this former billionaire from the Magic to New York at a very small price. A first-round pick in 2005 and a first-round pick in 2008.

Originally, the Magic wanted to take back their first-round pick in 2004, because the Magic's record this season was really bad and they were very likely to get the top three picks. But...the Knicks are not stupid.

Therefore, after bargaining, the Knicks brought back Juwan Howard for three melons and two dates.

Juwan Howard is a rookie of the same generation as Fan Xi. He also had good statistics of 20+10 in his peak period. Although his personal offensive ability is not very good, he is indeed a solid defender and has good pie-eating ability.

Although he was a little sluggish after being hit with a death dunk, the New York Knicks firmly believe that the solution needs to be replaced by the person who tied the bell.

However, the surprising thing is.

When Juwan Howard came to New York, when he saw Fan Xi, he held Fan Xi's hand tightly: "Jack, I watched a few of your All-Star dunks, especially the one where you dunked Chris to death. I watched it. Afterwards, I felt much better.”

Forehead….

Juwan Howard is a loyal and honest man.

He expresses his thoughts very openly.

Fan Xi was choked by his frankness. He had prepared many words to comfort Howard, hoping to lift Howard's spirit.

Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, he returned to his former self.

The reason for his recovery turned out to be the appearance of someone even more unlucky than him.

This person is still the boss he used to be.

"I have expressed my condolences to Chris's wife. His condition is not very good. The doctor diagnosed him with a moderate concussion and he needs to stay in bed to recuperate. He is also afraid of light and water and cannot take care of himself. Thinking of him lying on the hospital bed, I feel much better."

Juwan Howard expressed his thoughts with great sincerity.

And he told Fan Xi: "Next, I will definitely support your work fully. I will use my 100% enthusiasm to create enough space for you to dunk. I want the whole world to see that Jack's crotch will never It’s just me, Juwan Howard.”

The 'maliciousness' of an honest person is like the gravel hidden in the rice, causing unexpected harm to people.

Fan Xi didn't expect it. She originally planned to come to comfort him, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a show of loyalty contest for Juwan Howard.

But that’s fine.

Forget about the rhetoric.

Stephen Jackson is another important signing. He is a very tough player, known for his tough style of play, his three-point shooting ability, and his tough defense.

His personality was somewhat similar to Sprewell's, so Madman went to chat with him.

If there are no accidents, he will come back in the playoffs, and Grant Hill will also come back at that time. By then... the Knicks can completely implement a strong running and gunning lineup.

At the press conference, Reggie Miller said that he is here just for the championship.

Moreover, this super marksman who once had a brilliant record said very modestly: "I just want a championship, so I chose the No. 1 jersey."

Stephen Jackson chose the number 99. These temperamental people with brain problems usually prefer larger numbers, which look quite masculine.

Juwan Howard selected No. 0.

He said that he was a zero in front of Fan Xi, and he hoped that his zero could help Fan Xi create more powerful direct attacks.

These words are as strange as they sound.

…

The morning after the All-Star break, the Knicks played their first game of the second half of the season, against the New Jersey Nets.

The Nets have a new coach, from Byron Scott to Frank.

Frank was more obedient. To be honest, Scott said that he also played against Jason Kidd when he was a player. Generally speaking, Jason Kidd still has to win more.

Currently, the situation in the east is relatively complicated.

Originally, the Pacers ranked first, but after the battle at Auburn Hills, the Pistons took the lead, and the Nets subsequently moved into second place. The Knicks are currently ranked fourth and the Pacers are third.

However, if this situation continues, it is a certainty that the Knicks will advance to third place. After all... the Pacers themselves gave up and sent Reggie Miller to New York City.

City derbies have always been the most attractive games for local fans.

The strong rise of the New Jersey Nets in the past three or four years has made New York fans very uncomfortable. These guys are the most arrogant people in the world. They look down on everyone, especially the rural New Jersey Nets. But he couldn't beat them.

This season, the Knicks have completed a double-play against the Nets, which has boosted the momentum of the home fans like crazy.

This game was Reggie Miller's debut with the New York Knicks, and Fancy benched him.

Juwan Howard also got a chance to play.

The joining of the two newcomers brought cheers to the audience.

Reggie Miller quickly entered the state, and his running was perfectly integrated into the Knicks' existing system. After breaking through the defense, Fanshie immediately found Reggie Miller who ran to the bottom corner of the three-point line through the screen of Juwan Howard. Pass the ball to him.

Miller catches and shoots... swoosh!

Opened the scoring with a three-pointer.

After scoring the goal, Miller even deliberately strangled his own neck with both hands. He used the same move that once provoked New York fans to reconcile with Madison Garden Arena.

Sure enough, director Spike Lee was the first to stand up. He was wearing Miller's No. 1 jersey and he was dancing excitedly.

The fans at the scene no longer F——K Miller, but cheered him loudly.

After changing sides and fighting again, the Knicks' defensive intensity has not dropped at all.

Although the Nets had the momentum to set off a fast break, they were held back by Fanci, led by Madman, Miller, and shot-blocking leader Ratliff. Although Miller is a shooter, his defense is also worthy of praise.

The Knicks' defensive quality at this time is at the top of the league.

boom!

On the first ball, Jefferson shot the iron.

Juwan Howard is a relatively reliable defender of offensive rebounds. He passes the basketball to Fanshie.

Fan Xi once again entered the frontcourt, still crushing him forcefully... He didn't want to do too many technical moves now. He was like an upstart who was scared of poverty, and he was always willing to show off that he was now the best in the league's backcourt. the power of.

Fanci reached the free throw line, attracted a double attack, and gave it all to Howard.

Howard made a steady mid-range hit.

After scoring the goal, he was still a little unhappy: "Jack, why don't you rush in and dunk them?"

Fanci said to Howard, who was in the same draft but was actually much older than him: "A dunk is worth two points. It's the same for you and me."

The offensive level and tactical level displayed by the Knicks at this time have surpassed the New Jersey Nets, which have reached the finals twice.

Jason Kidd pessimistically found that the Nets have lost the level to compete head-on with the Knicks, although the Nets' lineup is younger and should theoretically have greater impact.

However, this guy Fan Xi is so terrifying. The Knicks' hidden strengths in various positions are stimulated by him, like a spark that starts a prairie fire.

Jason Kidd even felt like he was playing against the Lakers back then, which was a structural crushing.

The most terrifying thing is that the New York Knicks actually have two small forwards who have not officially returned to the team, Stephen Jackson and Grant Hill.

Although Jackson is not a ball-handling attacker, Grant Hill is also believed to have lost most of his athleticism.

However, with Fan Xi's ability to turn stone into gold.

How scary would a fully staffed New York be?

After halftime, the Knicks established an 11-point lead.

After entering the third quarter, the Nets seized the opportunity to chase points...Reggie Miller and Juwan Howard went off the court to rest, and the Knicks' decline in the third and fourth positions was revealed.

Fan Xi finally stabilized the situation.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks led by 3 points.

Then, Reggie Miller came on the scene, with top-level peripheral firepower... The Knicks' combat effectiveness burst out immediately.

Van Hegg plus the Madman plus Miller feels a lot like Jordan plus Pippen plus Steve Kerr.

If there is a breakthrough, there will be a breakthrough, if there is a mid-range, there will be a mid-range, and if there is a three-pointer, there will be a three-pointer.

The Nets fell quickly.

123:111.

Knicks won without any disturbance, just like Schumacher racing with ordinary drivers. Although ordinary drivers had moments when they were very close to the car king, the whole process was a crushing victory for the car king.

Jason Kidd declined to be interviewed after the game.

The new head coach also did not talk about more details of the game. Instead, he caught a certain foul ball and complained about it.

Kenyon Martin also said that Fansheed's dunk on Chris Webber, who gave Chris Webber a concussion, is causing a stir in the league, and the defense on him has become lax in the paint.

And he also said that the All-Star weekend schedule affected his performance.

Losers always have a reason.

Reggie Miller, who scored 23 points in the game, said modestly: "It's because Jack passed the ball so well that I had such good data as 7-for-7 shooting."

"Jake is definitely the best passing point guard in the league today. I have never received such a comfortable pass. Sprewell was as gentle as I imagined. He discussed philosophy with me, and I was obviously no match for him. He is a gentleman and polite person in the dressing room, which is completely different from his image on the pitch."

"Juwan and Anthony Mason are younger and more powerful than I thought, and Mason is still the ultimate killer in New York."

"And the shot-blocking champion, his defense is so cool. I look forward to him and Mutombo supporting New York's penalty area. And, I can't wait to get into the playoffs, because by then, we will still be there." We have two great stars coming back.”

Reggie Miller praised everyone like a leader, including the head coach who seemed to be doing nothing. He also called him: the most easy-going head coach he has ever encountered.

People say Reggie Miller is the king of trash talk, but he does speak well in scenes.

This made Fanshey think that he could apply for a commentator job after retiring. He felt that Reggie Miller might be more suitable than Charles Barkley.

At this time, the madman teased Fan Xi: "Do you want your former teammates to go to the TV station to say good things for you?"

Fan Xi raised her eyebrows.

The atmosphere in the locker room tonight was extremely relaxed, but there was strong longing behind everyone's smile.

Everyone knows that this year will be the year they have the best chance to break through.

Fan Xi has been waiting for seven years.

He went from being unprecedented to being the youngest Finals MVP, to being unknown and being chased by others for seven years. Now he is back where he was, and finally has a chance to regain his glory.

No reason to miss out.
