The rest is just noise

Chapter 397 The season premiere of the new Knicks

Benjamin Wilson did not score in the first quarter.

Fans will be surprised because he neither scored nor took a shot.

Because the Knicks haven't realized that he has an absolute matchup advantage at this point.

The Sonics' three-frontcourt lineup makes their rotation defense very poor, and the Knicks, who mainly play the N.UCLA system, are least afraid of you having an advantage in the frontcourt.

When Louis realized that Wilson had not integrated into the team's offensive system, he replaced Benj four minutes into the game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, he put Benj on the court again, and he was paired with Hornacek, Dell Curry, Oakley, and Bol.

An all-substitute lineup, and in the transition period, the Knicks' lineup was Stockton, Ellis, Rodman, Oakley and Ewing.

and the lineup in the transition period allowed the Knicks to take a 16-point lead at the start.

In the second quarter, Hornacek moved the ball flexibly, allowing Wilson to start to shine.

In college, Wilson's advantages were his height of 203 centimeters, arms that looked like octopus arms, an extremely high shooting point, delicate finger feel, Tracy McGrady-level ball feel and explosive power, speed, coordination, and rhythm.

You can shoot from any position within 8 meters from the basket.

This past summer, in addition to gaining weight, he also conducted special training on personal skills.

He has become faster, taller, and more agile, and if you give him a step of space, he will immediately jump over the opponent's head.

He is currently outside the system because he runs less and does not trust the strength of Stockton, the cake maker.

When Hornacek came up, he was fed the ball directly without him moving.

He began to use his dazzling personal talent to blast the Sonics' defense at a single point.

In those 4 minutes, Wilson took 10 shots and hit 6 goals, including a McGrady-like pull-up three-pointer from the outside, scoring 14 points.

The chants of "Benj" continued at MSG.

Hornacek showed his natural adaptability at point guard.

He is very good at playing ball for core players like Benj. When Benj is in good condition and forces his opponent to attack, Hornacek's openness can create more singles opportunities for him.

Oakley knows what his responsibilities are. He focuses on protecting Benj, and the pick-and-roll always revolves around Benj.

Dell Curry's performance was suppressed by Wilson and Hornacek, and they didn't have many chances.

Bol scored 3 big shots in these minutes.

By the time the other four players returned to the court, the Knicks' lead had reached 24 points.

What’s surprising is not the dominance of the Knicks, but the immediate combat ability of this year’s class of ’86 rookies, which seems to be stronger than last year’s class of ’85.

Wilson came up with an offensive core style of play, relying on one-on-ones to push the game into garbage time.

Hornacek looks like a little Stockton.

Rodman and Selley are both Spider-Man defenders with long arms and legs. In addition to defense, the former also showed potential in rebounding and support, while the latter's height and agility that do not match his height are so surprising.

Already.

Curry is the only player who didn't show much of himself.

Before the third quarter is over, the Knicks already lead the SuperSonics by 32 points.

They could even let Song Tao play in the end.

When Song Tao came on the court, Albert shouted: "Girls and gentlemen, let us applaud the first Chinese player in NBA history SONGGGG~TAO!!!"

The people in Madison Garden showed a curiosity towards Song Tao that confused Louis.

He has felt this way before. When the four-digit team went to the summer league, American fans had the same reaction.

However, the Americans at that time were simply interested in the name Si-Ling D. And Si-Ling D's performance was beyond their expectations, so there was an interesting incident of the whole audience shouting Si-Ling D's name.

Song Tao is like seeing alien ET playing for the Knicks.

Louis patted Song Tao's shoulder. He originally wanted to pat Song Tao's butt, but he was worried that the latter would not be used to having his butt patted, so he didn't do it.

"Play Empty Lob (empty lob) with the defender more often, and play more freely!" Louis encouraged.

Song Tao hummed a few times, and Louis asked Hornacek to make some balls for Song Tao.

Song Tao himself is also up to par. The quality of pick-and-roll screens is good, and he feels good when cutting. Moreover, the Sonics' defensive response is really poor. They put out a big lineup, but only one big word is highlighted. The big lineup has all the shortcomings and almost no advantages.

.

EmptyLob from the Knicks, one hit at a time.

Song Tao made three consecutive alley-oop dunks.

"SONG! SONG! SONG!"

The fans screamed with excitement.

The Knicks activated 13 players on the roster, and all of them got opportunities to play.

Moreover, Stockton, who played the most minutes, only played 26 minutes, which was lower than the playing time set by Louis.

Because Supersonic was vulnerable, it was quickly defeated.

In the fourth quarter, Louis asked a few main players to come up and score a few points before being replaced. The SuperSonics assumed a position of lying flat and letting them be ravaged. They were bombarded by the Knicks with 137 points in a single game, while they only scored 88 points.

"I didn't expect this even though we lost 58 points." Louis complained.

Zhao Yuanzheng asked: "Coach, you defeated Dallas by 81 points, why do you care about 58 points today?"

"No, I'm just feeling emotional. You don't know, but when I beat Coach Motta by 81 points, the scene was pretty intense."

"I know!" Zhao Yuanzheng said happily, "Larry Bird also won $3,000 from you."

Louis was secretly shocked: "You know all this?"

"Rudy told me." Zhao Yuanzheng smiled.

It is most difficult to guard against traitors during the day and night.

Rudy, Rudy, can you talk nonsense like this? Does he still have the image of a wise and powerful man? What do you mean he lost $3,000 to Bird? Wasn't it because he paid for Bird's efforts to vent his anger?

$3,000 for that redneck?

In the entire game, 8 players from the Knicks scored in double figures.

Only Wilson scored more than 20 points.

Others, such as Ewing had 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, Stockton had 12 points, 16 assists and 4 steals, Ellis had 19 points, McHale had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. The most outrageous 10 points was Song Tao. He

Played for 6 minutes, 5-for-5, all dunks.

The most intuitive impression given by the Knicks in tonight's game is that they were incredibly aggressive on both offense and defense.

The defense can kill people, and the offense is as smooth as PLA's square formation. Even if the offense cannot be opened in a few rounds, you can still find a one-on-one opponent to solve the problem.

They have McHale inside and Wilson outside.

Ewing went down and Bol came up.

Bol went down, and Rodman and Selley filled the penalty area with threats to protect the basket.

SuperSonics head coach Bernie Bickerstaff was shocked by the Knicks' performance: "Although we lost by 49 points, I think the Knicks were merciful. Their players only played 26 minutes at most, and the point difference

The reason it became so big is their depth."

"This is the magic of Little Lou. He was a discerning scout when he was in Boston. Now when he comes to New York, he has changed two lineups in two years and used a large number of young players. Last year's '85 Animals

Class', this year's '86 Future Class', are all promising."

At the post-game press conference, Louis attended with Ewing, Stockton and Wilson.

After a game, the three of them seemed to have a lot of energy left. After all, Stockton and Ewing, who played the most minutes, only played 26 and 25 minutes, and Wilson only played 24 minutes.

When a reporter asked Louis if anyone would complain about this arrangement of playing time, he replied: "Your doubts are very reasonable. This is also a characteristic of our Knicks. The team is full of young players. They have just signed the contract and have not yet

When it comes to considering the next contract, I am committed to building a selfless and united team. Therefore, you can see that although Patrick has the league's first salary, his number of shots is not among the top in the team.

Fourth, you can also see that although Benj is the most high-profile newcomer after Patrick, he couldn't score a single point in the five minutes he came on the court."

"When the two best players on the team make the biggest sacrifices, no one else can complain." Louis laughed, "I think I should say thank you to Patrick and Benj."

Next, the question came from one of the New York reporters Louis disliked most, Bill Wallace of the Times.

As a New York reporter, he asked in front of Ewing and Wilson: "Patrick, are you dissatisfied with Benj's arrival?"

In fact, Ewing's dissatisfaction began when he raised this issue.

"Why do you ask that?" Ewing asked Sanlian, "Why do you think I will be dissatisfied? Why should I be dissatisfied?"

Wallace said confidently: "Because Benj's economic team took away a lot of advertising resources that should belong to you. There is news that you were furious about this."

"You are such a bad reporter!" Ewing was furious. "You should have investigated thoroughly before asking questions, instead of asking me to answer a bunch of non-existent things!"

Although Ewing did this to make Louis feel happy, he could not let Ewing's low emotional intelligence become the norm.

Louis controlled Ewing who was about to go berserk and said: "Patrick, don't be angry, you have to know that the Times has always been like this."

Louie pointed to a New York Post reporter, indicating he could start asking questions, before more discussion broke out.

Louis didn't like the Post reporter's question either, but it was definitely much better than Wallace and his ilk.

The target of his question was Wilson: "Benj, what do you think of the recent rumors surrounding you and Patrick?"

"I smiled, but I didn't care." Wilson responded calmly to the reporter. "When I was participating in the draft, some people said that my child was not my biological child. I never cared about such rumors."

The second thing is that Louis can stand up for reporters, and Benj cares about it.

Because the child is really not his biological child
