Chapter 15 Knicks Steel Works

On October 29, Madison Garden Plaza, as the basketball holy site that holds drafts every year, is already full of Knicks fans. Even in the square outside the stadium, there are many Knicks fans ready to watch this highly anticipated regular season.

The league office is also very "talking" and did not arrange for the Knicks to be a strong opponent in the first game, the Toronto Raptors.

Both teams were considered to be in trouble in the Eastern Conference last year. Last year, they were not able to enter the playoffs in the weak Eastern Conference last year, but the new season was completely different.

All the stars of the two teams ran away. Dragon King Bosh went to the Heat to form the Big Three. The Knicks took the initiative to give up David Lee because they got a stronger Stodmeier in the inside.

The first player to play in the player channel was Danilo Gallinari. This third-year player selected by New York has become the second leader of the Knicks. He averaged 15 points per game last year and had a 38% three-point shooting percentage. He was an efficient breakup.

This was the first time Lin Yang felt the enthusiasm of home fans on the scene, and the cheers from the audience almost blew up Lin Yang's ears.

After that, the substitute players are usually the first to play, and Lin Yang is here. In the last four starters, the remaining four players are Stoudemire, who is probably the first superstar player the Knicks have since the 21st century. All the Knicks fans stood up to cheer for him.

"Damn, such a big show?"

Think about what the gap is when I first appeared...

The Knicks' starting lineup has not changed much, center Stoudemire, power forward Garlinari, small forward Wilson Chandler, shooting guard Landry Fields, and point guard Felton.

On the Raptors, after Bosh left, they used Reggie Evans and No. 1 pick Banyani to form a new inside combination, small forward Kreza, shooting guard Demar DeRozan, and point guard Jarret Jack.

Such a game that has no explosive points in the entire league is difficult to broadcast live across the United States, but because of Lin Yang's relationship, on the Huaxia Sports Channel, today they gave up the strong showdown between the Magic and the Spurs.

"Lin Yang did not appear in the starting lineup. It would have been a little impact on the absence of the preseason for unknown reasons. Otherwise, this would be unreasonable. Bledso and Amino both started in the Clippers." Zhang Heli came again. Judging from Xia Lian's performance, Lin Yang was overwhelming the two first-round picks.

His partner Yu Jia also nodded: "Landry Fields, a second-round pick, has become the starter. I think Lin Yang can counterattack this position. Lin Yang has no disadvantage compared to him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Knicks' first offense was ended by this second-round pick. Not only him, but the Raptors who were facing each other didn't seem to be too optimistic about this second-round pick. DeRozan chose to attack Felton unscrupulously in the first round.

As a point guard who was favored by D'Antoni, the latter would naturally not give up such an open position. Fields caught the ball, took a shot, and made a three-pointer.

This second-round pick only needs to do two things, defend, and prepare to catch the ball outside the three-point line and take three-pointers.

The face was beaten so hard that it was a slap, there was no disadvantage? Can Lin Yang make this three-pointer?

However, the Knicks did not lead directly because of this three-pointer. Instead, the Raptors played the first big rhythm at the Knicks' home court.

Banyani was the No. 1 pick in 2006. Like Garlinari, he came from Italy. His playing style is not much the same, and they are both very "soft". The template is Nowitzki, who is known as the largest softie in the NBA.

There is no way, the black eight in 2007 and the black seven in last year, the hat was not removed until the Mavericks won the championship this year.

The number one soft boy who is considered to be Nowitzki, and the second biggest soft boy is Banyani.

Gallinari Ruler, he can still say that he is playing the third position, but Banyani has no choice. If you, a big 210cm man, can't get points in the inside line, and you can't defend against people, just float outside and shoot three-pointers. This is not a soft guy, what is it?

But soft eggs sometimes get hard, such as Banyani tonight.

After Fields hit a three-pointer to lead, he turned around and received the ball from the top of the arc, facing his national teammate Gallinari and raised his hand and returned a three-pointer.

3:3, the Knicks, who was scored, quickly started pushing and counterattacking. In D'Antoni's team, you can be scored, but you have to counterattack me the first time you score.

After receiving the serve, Felton quickly started to attack, and Lin Yang, who was watching the game on the sidelines, was a little scared.

This guy's body is definitely the strongest one in the number one position, otherwise why would he have the nickname Fei Dun?

Two big strides into the inside, attracting the defense and then passing it to Stoudemire.

This trick that was tried and done in the preseason was intercepted by Reggie Evans in the first leg of the regular season.

This guy is basically invisible on the offensive end. Apart from grabbing a frontcourt rebound and a dunk with no one at the basket, it's just a decoration. The defender asked him to pick-and-roll and even thought he brought the defender over.

So on the defensive end, this guy was passionate and his eyes were as big as a bronze bell. He cut off the pass very sharply in this round.

The Knicks' counterattack just now, and instantly turned into the Raptors' offense, playing against fast attack master D'Antoni, Raptors head coach Jay Triano is not timid at all. In fact, the Canadian head coach has no experience in controlling the field. He will be faster when the opponent plays faster, and he will be slow when the opponent plays slower, so it is easy to enter the rhythm of the opponent's control.

But the Knicks never beat the game at the fast pace.

His quick counterattack was intercepted. DeRozan held the ball on the opposite side and rushed straight to the basket with one dragon. The inside combination of Stoudemire and Garlinari were full of offense. The league was top-notch, defense? If you can break in, I dare to let you score a goal.

If no one defends, that's better. DeRozan took off and glided to the Knicks' basket as soon as he took the lead. The new generation of Canadian Flying Man has been launched.

Well, I was dunked by myself at home. The enemy of Huashan and the power forward of the Brutalist Stoudemire were unhappy in an instant. I had to perform a powerful slash on Huashan as soon as I came up?

There is no way, when he comes to his first home court in New York, he has to give some face to the fans who support him. The inside player who has the best face frame ability in the NBA began his performance, change direction, breakthrough, etc., butterfly!!!

The counterattack, dunk, and the exact same plot was staged again in Madison Garden Plaza. What's even more excessive is that this time the dunk turned into the second-largest soft-girl of the NBA emperor, Banyani.

3:7, Madison Garden Square suddenly became a little quiet, but D'Antoni was not in a hurry to make adjustments, but let the players on the court control the rhythm themselves.

But he forgot that they only brought Stoudemire this summer, the point guard was Felton rather than Nash, and Felton was famous for adjusting the rhythm.
Chapter completed!
