NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 270 Eight: What?The boss is warming up? ?
Little Tudou has a terrible game experience today. He likes to play on that kind of shooting team, so his speed and physical aggression are fully displayed.

But when the Knicks beat him, they played with high hands. He had no chance of meeting Curry, Mills, and others. The Knicks' backcourt was too smart. Little Tudou defended against pick-and-rolls, and they were all forwards. This 175 dunk king.

Then George stood up and shot Little Tudou, Hayward pulled Little Tudou, and Kyle Anderson played for 30 seconds at the end of the second quarter.

Indeed, with the addition of the Knicks' three forward rookies this year, the Knicks' average height on the field has basically remained above 2 meters.

It's not the long-armed monster basketball that Kidd deliberately pursued later, but an offensive team based on defense!
In the sport of basketball, height is the basic game.

Defensive hardware is better than other teams!

"This Knicks team is really different. It doesn't matter if the inside line is strengthened, and the front line is also strong!"

Mr. Pu frowned while watching from the sidelines, it's not easy!

Last season, all the teams knew that the Knicks did not have a meat shield to protect the inside line, and the striker's movement speed 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 offseason? ? ?
Mr. Pu originally thought that George was a shooter. Seeing that he defended 2 goals from Durant, he thought his defense was okay? ?

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

As we all know, strong play is not a mistake on defense. The Thunder almost never made tactical goals. What did these two first-round strikers bring this year? ? ?

Mr. Pu’s think tank also sighed beside him:
"This is not a home bonus. This George's defensive habits are really good. His hands are always near the ball. Westbrook has reduced dribbling in front of him."

"And the Knicks' worst inside line last year has been completely reinforced, because they know that there are giant spirits guarding the inside line, and the outside line defense is very aggressive!"

"Yes, when they played against the Heat last season, they were actually timid from the perimeter. They were also afraid of shooting from the opponent and being afraid of rushing. As a result, the defense was completely disrupted by Wade and Beasley."

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

It's not to say that both sides have a certain amount of water. This high score is also the reason why everyone wants to show themselves in the new season.

A certain amount of water means that some opponents don’t try to chase caps or fouls when no one is fast break, and there are many fewer actions such as dangerous downs, desperate rebounds, early fouls on fast breaks and layup fouls. The score is naturally high.

For the Thunder, Durant scored 27 points alone, including 20 points in the first quarter. The only things that can stop him are fouls and God. The scoring leader really doesn't have a particularly good defensive method.

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

On the Knicks side, the new players have been scoring. Howard scored 18 points in the half, 5 of which were dunks!

But the shooting rate is not good, 13 of 7, as a center, the shooting rate is a bit low, let alone free throws, maybe for the comedy effect, Warcraft even made a three-point penalty.

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

"YAO is so strong!" Compared to sparks, Lili prefers YAO's strong shots, maybe women like mature and steady ones.

"Of course... this is YAO!"

Here, Jiang Chao is doing Pilates stretching with Lily while watching the data sheet displayed on TV.

Judging from the first half, the success rate of Sparks' low-post offense was lower than that of YAO. If he hadn't been the Knicks' highest-paid player, Jiang Chao would have wanted to cancel his low-post play tactic.

The Knicks are enough to give big brother face today. As the team's biggest salary star, he took 13 shots in the halftime. No Knicks player had such treatment last season.

However, it is estimated that only the preseason will 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 low-post singles, he can teach the league ninety-nine percent of insiders to behave!
I guess Stevens can also see clearly that Yao Ming is the basic skill, and Howard's brute jumping monster is more suitable for raging the basket in the paint!

On the contrary, the other Twin Towers YAO, as long as he is allowed to play low singles, he can teach the league % of insiders to behave!

In the first half, Yao Ming actually played 4 times in singles. After playing for 7 minutes, he was off the court. He made 3 hits in 1 times and caused foul. , and there is also a one-handed split buckle after a breakthrough in a small test of sledgehammer confrontation. The various technical moves are stable and mature.

It seems to be shouting to the entire 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 interior, Howard wouldn't be able to get a second rebound protection for some rough shots.

And Howard is to make up for Yao Ming's shortcoming of slow movement on the defensive end, and to support the defensive range of the inside when the opponent plays a small lineup.

But still can't play too much. After a few rounds of Death Five in the opening game, it was all the Thunder's 5-on-3 fast break. The Knicks' offense couldn't make the ball.

Therefore, the joke-like death five was short-lived for 4 minutes.

Fortunately, Dayao wants to save some money now.

Just when he was about to feel tired, the coaching staff cut off the watch and asked him to leave work. This is what other teams are most annoying to see. They feel sour and feel that Yao is a glass man, and curse him that he will definitely suffer another serious injury this season. , but the Knicks use so sparingly, the chances of glass are much smaller.

If he is completely healthy next season, it is hard to imagine what will happen. Even the English commentary is saying that the upper limit of the Knicks depends on how much fuel Yao Ming has.

While Yao fans still have more to say, other Knicks players will always bring surprises!

This is not the Rockets with a mediocre backup blood mother + a cheating father. The Knicks played more fiercely from the bench than the starters. Facts have proved that as long as they play well on the court, star fans will also turn into team lovers.

Because the second highest scorer was not Harden or Turk Drew, but Curry with 14 points in the half, he hit 3 consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter and made the scene crazy! !
The Knicks' rotation lineup today is Curry + Harden + George + Ibaka + Yi Jianlian, which can be regarded as a 3-forward lineup, and the running class is no slower than the Thunder.

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

"Primary school students, come on."

"Ah?? Elementary school student?"

"I believe what this baby face says about kindergarten." Jiang Chao laughed.

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, although the Harden generation sold better in China than the Curry generation.

But in the student group, the number of Curry fans is crushing Deng Ge fans!

Following Jiang Chao's leg press, Liu Yan, who is in charge of Jiang Chao's social media, took a snapshot and posted it on major social platforms after Jiang Chao nodded.

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

In the picture, Jiang Chao is watching the TV screen seriously, his short-sleeved muscles are fully displayed, and his handsome face is slightly sweating.

The fans were even happier when they saw this Weibo during the intermission:

"The return of the missing!"

"Coach Jiang, come on stage!"

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

"The world is so sophisticated, Howard has to feed Jiang Chao cakes!"

"All those from the basketball association off the court have to come up to pick and roll for Mr. Jiang!"

"Player Jiang? Haha, I'm looking forward to everything you said..."

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

"Don't tell me, Boss Jiang has such a figure, I believe he is a player."

"The boss still cares about the team!"

"Is this Meimei's villa?"

"It's his own, the next door to Taylor Swift?"

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

"Scarlett is at the scene, first rule out Scarlett."

“I saw messy pillows on the sofa!!”

"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 has a kidney and at the same time he has a heart for the team, I love it!"

"I'm a female fan, I want to sleep on that sofa and watch football with Boss Jiang!"

"My male fans also want to be honest..."

……

Once the teasing topic that the boss was warming up was over, the second half of the game officially started.

It seems to be the unspoken rule of the preseason. After the first two quarters, after the two sides showed their main players, in the third quarter, it was the turn of the old, middle and young players to play together.

The Thunder is also the main force of Gallinelli. It seems that Pu Zong really likes the Italian Cannon, and even gave him the opportunity to hold the ball in the top arc. Is this the feeling of training to be 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. The striker lineup was relatively small, but Playing vigorously on the field.

The four are all from the Knicks, and it can be said that they are the starters created by Dolan. Now they are playing well as the Thunder's substitute.

Tears!

And the Knicks also standardize the old with the new. Curry is an "old man" to bring in newcomers. On the field is Curry, Hayward, George, Ibaka, and David Lee to face the Thunder's fast forward lineup .

It can be regarded as continuing to fill up the story, let's see if the fast-playing Knicks can match the Thunder's Youth Storm! !
The result is blown!
The Knicks widened the point difference to 20 points in one quarter!

After Curry took the lead, he continued to pick and roll shots. George and Hayward can cut or pop up. David Lee is no match for his big brother Harrington at the basket. He is faster than Harrington. Called O'Neal.

In fact, the Knicks scored well in the third quarter, 28:14
Compared with the number of rounds in the third quarter, which was nearly double that of the first quarter, this score seemed a bit ironic.

But why the Thunder couldn't score.

Ibaka and David Lee showed what is called unlimited defense. No matter how the opponent picks and rolls, they can keep up with people. However, Thunder's Nate and Chandler are not stable in shooting, let alone play other tactics after the pick-and-roll fails. up! !
"The era of small ball is beginning to emerge."

This is Jiang Chao's evaluation of this lineup. It looks a bit cool. Although the physical consumption and the number of times of ironing have increased geometrically due to the increase in the number of rounds, but it is so beautiful and the rhythm of attack and defense transition is also the audience's favorite. kind.

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 intercepted the opponent's lateral pass and turned around in the air for a 360-degree dunk that was silky smooth!
"talent!"

And Haishuai is struggling a little more now, relying on breakthrough free throws to score 4 points. The tonnage he relied on in the future seems to be a little bit more floating now. After all, he has just entered the league, he is still suffering, and he is not so adaptable to confrontation. .

George didn't adapt, but George's running and jumping ability is better than Hayward's, and George has a good sense of rhythm in his play, which is worthy of being a silky general.

Even the American commentator praised George for a breakthrough goal:

"A high pick is a high pick. His playing rhythm is so handsome, but Hayward is more versatile, a bit like an AK47."

The fans at the scene probably remembered this handsome striker. Curry once played him with the ball in the top arc, and his silky jumper suddenly pulled back from his hips and then jumped up quickly, which made the scene exclaimed.

A rookie dares to play heads-up like this, he has the ability.

……

Although the general manager and others asked to play with style and the Knicks' team spirit before the game, it was still a preseason game after all.

Although Westbrook and Durant didn't have a good time on the Thunder's side, they were going to chase points in the fourth quarter, but Brooks also put them on the bench.

It's not that he admits cowardice and replaces the substitute, but that he can chase but it's not necessary.

It's the same with the Knicks, if you don't make the main force, we will also make the main force at the same time, otherwise we will not be able to connect.

If you want to practice, you have to practice in combination with Wang Zha to see if you can defend or score in front of them. This kind of matchup is more useful for 1 minute than 10 minutes of rubbish.

So both sides played in the third team in the fourth quarter.

The Knicks took out the players they most wanted to train in two shifts, and went up and down twice in a row, and because the three centers were all All-Stars, more power forwards replaced the center position.

Matthews, Beverly, George, Hayward, Ibaka.

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

Jiang Chao saw a comment on the forum: "Based on the fourth quarter, is the medical insurance card a must-be-trained person?"

Because he played for a whole quarter, it can be regarded as allowing him to cooperate with a wave of various tactics.

But in fact, Jiang Chao thinks that the young coach may use him to "guarantee the bottom line". It is impossible for Stevens to give up the victory he obtained, and Ibaka is the most "guaranteed" defensive gate of the Knicks' bench lineup.

He is more defensive on the court. Whether it is the enthusiasm of returning to defense, the ability to defend the position and the ability to defend alone, Ibaka is a well-deserved substitute T0P1 level. Even in the entire Knicks team, his defensive efficiency is in the top 3 of.

This summer, he went to the beach every day to practice the crab step hard, and it is estimated that it has undergone a qualitative transformation. It is obvious that he is no different from Howard in the interior, both are very stable!
The Thunder's bench lineup is a bit stretched. In their previous life, their bench was not good, but they let Nate vent a wave in the fourth quarter. Nate Robinson still has the ability to score 10 points in a single quarter after rushing a few shots.

In the end, as Danny Green counted down the seconds and hit the iron with a super long 3-pointer, the Knicks defeated the Thunder by a big score of 121:102.

Du's second son was fine after the game, but seeing Jiang Chao's Twitter comment broke his defense.

Ah, it's not bad to be fancied as Scarlett's underground lover by fans, but Jiang Chao said that Scarlett is a god to drink footwashing water, how about breaking the defense in seconds!
Everyone is an adult, so he naturally understood what Jiang Chao said, and he was so angry! ! !

Thinking of my goddess bowing her head to drink the footwashing water of other team bosses, she is so fucking angry!
Therefore, Thunder Thief was serious in the second battle held in Shanghai 2 days later.

Leading directly 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 that there is no team in the league that can defend against these two, and Coach Stevens is actually letting them play one-on-one to train his players' single-defense ability.

Therefore, the game that was originally going through the motions was also very good-looking. As we all know, if there is too much single defense, there will be anger.

For example, Paul George also got angry against Durant in the second quarter. He rushed into the inside and soared into the air.

In the second half, the smell of gunpowder also intensified, because the next preseason game was only five days after the China game, and the main players of both sides wanted to play for a while.

After Little Tudou wanted to reproduce the scene where Howard was dunked in the slam dunk contest, he was slapped to the ground by Howard, and David Li Bijin's layup was knocked down in the next round of revenge.

Rao has a good temper and David Lee immediately got up and pushed Nate Robinson together. The Chinese fans in the hot scene stared wide-eyed. This ticket is worth buying!
I'm coming!

The mutual spray between former Knicks teammates!

The fans said:

"It's you in the Howard hat, what's the matter with David Lee?"

Brother Li was still magnanimous, he touched Little Tudou's head after saying something, and then left, obviously not wanting to make trouble in Jiang Chao's country.

Howard was giggling after pulling away the crowd, obviously he himself thought it was funny, if he had the ability to block me, with Howard's strength, if Little Tudou came to pull him, the one who fell down might be Little Tudou himself.

"This is the current player, not playing fake."

Jiang Chao was doing throat clearing exercises with Taylor Swift in the villa next door while watching the competition, because Jiang Chao has no system and no natural talent for singing, so he often practiced his voice with Taylor Swift recently, and it was okay for Taylor to teach singing himself.

Singing from now on will no longer be enough to sing half a song with breath. Taylor also found that Jiang Chao belongs to the ceiling of creative ability, and his singing ability is a rookie ghost. Therefore, the thieves who taught him worked hard. Learn to pronounce with breath, and it is no problem to become a professional singer.

In this second game, the two sides played until the last 2 minutes to decide the winner. Although the substitutes played, they also played with passion.

In the end, the Thunder selectively shorted Yi Jianlian to let the UAE hit a 3-pointer from the top arc, and the Knicks won the game by 5 points.

Two consecutive victories in China!

After the game, Little Tudou was really hot for 3 minutes. After playing, there will be peace and love:
"David Lee is my brother, Dwight is too, trash talk and conflict is part of the game, I don't think it's a big deal."

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

"This is my first show with the Knicks, and it's the first time I've come to China again after 3 years. I love this place and I feel very comfortable in the Knicks."

During a random interview with Deng Chao:
"Cheerleading is pretty good..."

Sun Li next to her almost yelled loudly.

Naturally, the person interviewed on the spot was Yao Ming, the real host of the Shanghai Metropolis.

In this game, Dayao, who scored 8 points and 13 rebounds in 4 minutes, was very kind:
"It's great to be back among you all.

It was very difficult for me and the Shanghai Sharks to win the championship. Now, I need to go through this process again when I transfer to the Knicks. I believe that everyone will stand with us and experience the difficult and exciting process again.

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

Coach Stevens praised both sides: "We are a super duel of Youth Storm, and I believe there will be some voices in the east and west."

But in fact, in the eyes of the fans, the Knicks have already been praised to the sky. Just kidding, this is the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals and the Lakers' tiebreaker!
The Knicks won all two games against the Thunder, which has more Gallinelli than last year!
They don't care whether everyone is the main force in the end, they just look at the result and blow it up.

Liu Yan ran over quickly and asked Jiang Chao if he wanted to keep a low profile on the commentary. Jiang Chao said that there is no need to control the commentary this season. The strength lies here. Let the fans be high-key.

Knicks fans are depressed every year, and finally they can brag, so don’t delete the post, although there are a lot of cynicism underneath, as long as the fans themselves are happy.

"Okay, the share of the imperial capital has been paid, 500 million RMB."

"Okay, comfortable."

All three parties in this China competition have made a lot of money. In fact, the organizer of the China competition will be very hard. The expenses for a series of work such as venue renovation, venue rent, reception, security, publicity, etc. can be described as "sky-high". All reception expenses are estimated to be 600 Between 700 and million.

Just to reach the NBA's audio level, you have to rent a 16 RMB audio system, and the rental fee for Wukesong Stadium is 120 million.

Jiang Chao also found out about the board and lodging.

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

The imperial capital also arranged more than 100 vehicles to pick up and drop off.

Calculated, the cost of BJ's reception is about 600 million to 700 million yuan.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chao also got a share of 500 million RMB. Jiang Chao felt very satisfied. After all, they didn't do anything, and they didn't pay for the air ticket.

The box office revenue at the imperial capital is 1500 million RMB, but it is estimated that the income of hidden scalpers is even higher, and because it is the NBA China game, you can sell some peripherals made in Yiwu on the day, and you can make a lot of money, because you don’t need to pay the NBA copyright fee, it belongs to the Chinese game own copyright.

Jiang Chao signaled Liu Yan to reply to the imperial capital to thank them for their hospitality this time, and to cooperate more in the future.

Not to mention the Basketball Association, there is nothing to say about Huaxia's hospitality. Hospitality is a 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 reply to you in seconds, asking if you have time to go back to China to discuss many business matters that are beneficial to you."

"You reply to them. If it goes well, we can talk slowly now next year."

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

Once this kind of big plan is launched, it will take several months in China.

The press conference of the China game was also very interesting. The two sides attended together. The Knicks were Turk Drew and Yi Jianlian, and the Thunder were Durant and Gallinelli.

Gallinelli, who scored 32 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds in these two games, played well in the face of reporters asking how it feels to play against his old club after coming to the Thunder:
"I feel like I haven't left. Playing in-team training matches is a sense of sight."

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

Jokingly said to Turk Drew:

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

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

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

Durant didn't know if he wanted to set up FLAG casually in China: "See you in the finals!"

……

Two weeks later, the preseason is over.

The 2010-2011 regular season officially started, and the Knicks made a good start and directly crushed the Eastern powerhouse Eagles with 30 points.

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

When Jiang Chao was interviewed by Korean media Zhang Yiyuan at Madison Square Garden, he said directly:
"I don't care about the Big Three or the Green Army or the Purple Army, for me, there are only champions!"

Laughter in the sky and go out, how can I be a Penghao people!
This season, the only goal is to win the championship!
