Chapter 271 The best opening, no one doesn't love it (6100 words across the sun, monthly pass)(1/3)
In Madison Square Garden, after the players of the two teams warmed up, the big screen on the scene gave the start of the two teams tonight.
Raptors: Big Ben, Jordan, Su Feng, Carter, Nash.
Knicks: Ewing, Cott Thomas, Johnson, Houston, Ward.
Su Feng's previous life, the season can be said to be the peak of Van Gundy's coaching.
This season, when he ranked only eighth in the regular season, the Knicks staged the famous "Black Eight Legend" in the playoffs.
Moreover, on the premise that Ewing was lost at the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks, who were all soldiers, eliminated the Pacers in one fell swoop and successfully entered the finals.
There is no way, the Knicks and Van Gundy are so magical now.
In the future, there will be special technical statistics to review the Knicks during this period, and the result will be a very embarrassing thing about Ewing.
That is, often with Ewing absent, this Knicks will play better.
In this life, in terms of lineup, the Knicks and Su Feng's memory is similar.
Except for Oakley staying in the team and Camby did not come, Spreeville, like Su Feng's memory, became a favorite player under Van Gundy this season.
However, Spreville's main task this season is to serve as the team's sixth man, and come up to lead the substitute to grab points.
In addition, in the new season, at the fourth position, Van Gundy boldly activated Thomas, who was poached by the Knicks management from Dallas.
In Van Gundy's vision, Thomas, who has excellent athleticism, can use his enthusiasm to help Ewing.
However, during the offseason, Ewing, who has been busy with labor and capital negotiations and has not trained much, has performed poorly this season.
Moreover, Johnson, who had a bigger butt during the offseason, was still arranged by Van Gundy as a small forward this season, and this arrangement also made the Knicks' forward line extremely lacking in speed this season.
In the future, after Ewing was reimbursed, Johnson immediately stood up to save the world, not because Johnson and Ewing really had conflicts.
And it is precisely because only after Ewing is reimbursed, Van Gundy will remember to let the "aunt" go to the inside.
Of course, even if there are many problems, Van Gundy is definitely a team of immortals when he holds this deck.
Unfortunately, Van Gundy's stubbornness has caused this Knicks to lose a higher upper limit, although it has a certain lower limit.
Tonight, facing the Raptors, who have been very popular recently, when seeing the Raptors' starting lineup, Van Gundy touched his little bald head and first clenched a big question mark at John Davis.
John, you are such a little genius.
You actually asked Jordan to play the fourth position? And you dared to let three swingers appear at the same time, and the center only puts a big book with an actual height of less than two meters?
Obviously, if Van Gundy can understand the Raptors' starter, he should change his name to Pat Van Gundy.
Miami.
Riley, who is preparing to lead the Heat to the new season, saw the Raptors' starting lineup tonight through the TV in the team's locker room
Although Jordan was surprised to appear in the fourth position when the Raptors announced their roster before, when this scene really happened, Riley still wanted to scold her.
Because Sui is the swingman lineup that Riley wants to play the most.
Death, John!
If I don't send someone to assassinate you, then I won't be Pat Riley!
The camera returned to the scene in New York, TNT TV station, after seeing the Raptors' starting five tigers, Smith guessed: "Tonight, the Raptors put up a small lineup. Will their intention be to speed up the pace of the game and use fast attacks to kill the game?"
On the side, Knight, who was commenting with Smith, was happy, "Are you teasing me? Running and bombing in front of the Knicks' defense?
Hey man, have you really played NBA?"
Smith, who was criticized by Knight, spread his hands open, "What about that? Did you give me my two championship rings?"
"Well, great Kenny, please tell me how this Raptors can defeat the Knicks through fast break?" Knight said looking at Smith.
"I don't know, but I used to"
Originally, Smith wanted to say that when he played for the 76ers, the 76ers had defeated the Knicks with fast breaks, but before he could finish his words, Knight interrupted:
"Since you don't know, as a professional commentator, Kenny, you must maintain a fair and objective attitude to comment on it.
You can't be so inclined to the Raptors in commentary just because you like Sue very much." Knight, who has a stiff relationship with Smith, took the opportunity to complain about Smith.
As the former ace commentator of TNT TV, Knight's commentator has been often criticized by fans since Smith joined TNT.
To put it bluntly, if this guy has some ability, then the future TNT TV station will not be the three giants, but the four emperors.
In Knight's view, Smith's former NBA champion is the reason why he can win the fans' preferences.
So now, as long as you have the chance, Knight will seize the opportunity to start Smith's group.
But how could Smith, who has a very good mentality, have a good experience with Knight?
Smith, who once worked with Davis and Su Feng, knew very well that perhaps other teams could not do the run and fight in this era, but this Raptors is different.
In the center of the stadium, when the "Gorilla" saw Jordan unexpectedly appear in front of him as a Raptors power forward, Ewing, who had a grudge with Jordan that could write a novel, couldn't help but sigh at Jordan at this moment:
"Michael, it seems we are all old."
In Ewing's view, the reason why Jordan played the fourth position was because he could no longer run like he was when he was young, so he had to accept this change.
only
Ewing's hot face is destined to be pressed against Jordan's cold ass.
Because the reason why Jordan is willing to accept change is just because he wants to win a championship.
Ewing, who was ignored by Jordan, was not angry. Anyway, since the gorilla stopped, she felt that she had understood life.
One minute later, amid the cheers of nearly 20,000 New York fans, Yooinks jumped off the first attack.
Van Gundy's own son Ward was responsible for dribbling through the half.
TNT TV station, Knight smiled and said: "The Knicks have absolute height in the lineup. As long as they can pass the ball to Patrick's hand, their offense will be easy."
On the court, perhaps because he heard Knight's commentary, Ward gave the ball to the wing after halftime, and then the Knicks player on the wing lifted the ball to Ewing.
However, just when people thought Ewing would catch the ball and used his signature rabbit to jump to the Knicks to make the first attack in the new season, the Raptors had already completed the defensive rotation.
Jordan quickly attacked Ewing, while Su Feng entered the inside and stuck Thomas for Jordan.
The only person who really deserves attention on the outside is Houston, and at this time, Carter is staring at him.
Therefore, after trying to get the big book, Ewing froze.
Bang!
People are ruthless and faster.
Cut-up steals from "Old Hooligan".
Hong Kong Zhen, that is, Jordan is no longer as fast as before in terms of speed and flexibility. Otherwise, the Raptors' first attack in this new season should have been won by Jordan through one-stop drop.
On the court, because the Raptors played a small lineup tonight, after Ewing made a mistake, the Knicks' players quickly retreated and did not give the Raptors a chance to break fast.
However, the real seven-second fast attack has never been the first move to a conversion.
After Jordan passed the ball to Nash, suddenly, with the help of Su Feng's pick-and-roll, Nash suddenly started to speed and swept through Ward like the wind.
Su Feng, who gave Nash a pick-and-roll, also followed Nash and quickly penetrated into the Knicks' penalty area.
Now, before Ewing returned, the Knicks didn't even stand well, let alone pseudo-joint defense.
Fortunately, although Su Feng used his running position to widen the distance between him and Johnson, Houston quickly followed Su Feng.
But
Just when the Knicks players thought that the Raptors' offense would turn into positional battle, on the court, Nash continued to look at Su Feng, while throwing out an empty call in the direction of the basket.
This is, no one can see people in the air relay!
"Steve, Sue has run. Are you trying to pass the ball back to Patrick?"
TNT TV station, Knight, who spoke amazingly, would definitely regret his habit of speaking too quickly in two seconds.
Because Ewing, who had just stepped back from defense, could he receive Nash's "pass" at this height?
In the Knicks' penalty area, after jumping up, Ewing, who was still a small hand and arm away from the basketball, seemed that Nash just made a simple pass mistake.
After all, at this height, even if Su Feng has not run away, Su Feng will not be able to obtain it.
Moreover, Jordan is still slowly swaying around the three-point line, and Da Ben has just completed the pick-and-roll for his teammates.
Alas
etc!?
What is the name of the boy who just ran in from the other side through Daben's cover?
Don't worry, Ewing will have plenty of time to recall the man's name for a long time in the next.
"Basketball Holy Land", when Vince Carter appeared above Ewing's head, the entire Madison Square Garden fell silent in an instant.
this
This is impossible!
Looking at the shadow that completely blocked his huge body, Ewing's pupils magnified countless times in an instant.
Similar to Su Feng's "Meteor Dunk", Carter completely unfolded his body at this moment, like a big bow flying in the sky.
