knife point guard

Chapter 331 [The beginning of the new season doesn’t seem so bad]

When Su Xi saw Eddy Curry in the season training camp, his whole body went numb. He felt that this guy was just here to be a bodyguard... Usually only black bodyguards are of his size... which is convenient for blocking bullets. .

"Eddie! Are you sure you can wear the jersey?"

Su Xi asked him.

Eddy Curry said, "Of course, no problem."

He then went to great lengths to turn the jersey into a tight vest.

Su Xi felt uncomfortable looking at it.

Then, they took their final makeup photos for the new season.

Reporters poured in to conduct interviews.

Susie was asked a lot of questions by New York reporters. Such as where I went during the offseason, such as how I felt after defeating the Dream Team and winning the gold medal at the World Championships...

Then, the team doctor quickly went over to give him first aid and sent him to the hospital as soon as possible.

Isiah Thomas remained silent in front of reporters for a long time before replying: "I wish him good health."

Gary Payton, Kyle Lowry, Suzy, Crawford, Novak, Ariza, Stephen Jackson, David Lee, Channing Frye, Millsap, Zach Randolph, this is the Knicks Players currently on stable contracts for the current season.

The other starter for the Knicks is Zach Randolph.

"I think he will regain his health..."

But in fact, Su Xi serves as the team's commander. He takes a fancy to Kyle Lowry's impact. Lowry is a complete cannon.

What more can be said? You can't criticize anything.

The season is over.

Su Xi's advice is to sign a big center.

Whether he can return to the game in the future depends on his recovery.

Now, besides making everyone feel uncomfortable, what else can be achieved by bringing up old things again.

The Knicks announced Kyle Lowry as the starting point guard for the new season in their fourth practice session.

Last season, the Knicks were stretched thin on the defensive line, and this season, there are fewer big centers.

This made the reporters at the scene somewhat embarrassed.

Ariza has improved his shooting ability. Although he said that he and Reggie Miller failed to learn three-pointers, he also figured out his own shooting style, which is a bit like a crooked trebuchet.

Fortunately, the Knicks' current lineup is relatively complete.

Su Xi said: "The commitment remains unchanged and the pursuit remains unchanged."

Su Xi completely understood these false concerns, and for him, it did not affect his emotions at all.

Eddy Curry is out for the season, and the Knicks must sign a new player.

So, he was put on the bench and he was fine with that. He is willing to comply with any arrangement Su Xi has, he just hopes that his songs will be allowed to be played in the locker room.

"Can we successfully defend our title this season?"

Although Zach Randolph has been pursuing art and philosophy throughout the offseason, he has maintained a good shape and exercises every day...to maintain a good shape.

Before Su Xi finished speaking, Eddy Curry, who had just been warming up there, suddenly fell to the ground.

Moreover, you can't use a pure lineup to define the Knicks. For a team with Su Xi, normal basketball logic often doesn't work.

Due to Eddy Curry's retirement, many media reports have expressed "concern" about the Knicks. They began to worry about whether the Knicks can successfully defend the title, and whether Suzy the Lamb's five consecutive championships will be successful in the second season. A season was lost.

This kind of concern is actually another kind of "looking down", because they no longer dare to blatantly despise the Knicks, let alone blatantly mock the Knicks.

Can only accept.

So, this kind of 'care' became a trend.

When Suhi answered the second question, he was a little strange. He said: "We won the gold medal by defeating Germany."

But, it's not too bad.

This has cast a huge shadow on the Knicks' new season. Who can accept this on the first day of training camp?

This lineup is not considered good in the entire league.

The Knicks' training has only accelerated because of Eddy Curry's departure.

Because Su Xi came to the shooting guard position.

What New York reporters are most concerned about is Su Xi's five championships.

"of course."

Also promoted to the starting lineup are David Lee and Ariza who have worked hard in the offseason. They have made great progress. Especially David Lee, whose body size is a whole circle bigger than last season.

After all, the World Championships has become a shame for the American basketball community, and they are trying their best to avoid it.

"However, all kinds of negative news about the team are spreading everywhere now, such as... Eddy Curry..."

Crawford became worse, and his decline was more serious.

That afternoon, it was announced that he had a heart disease, and it was congenital.

The Knicks adopted a fast run-and-gun style in training camp. They were like a duck in water, and the offensive waves were pushed forward one after another.

Very ferocious.

Very smooth.

Suzy was very happy.

He even feels that if the defense improves, this season at least in the regular season will have a better record than last season.

I practiced for two weeks in training camp.

The outside world is increasingly concerned. Because Crawford had an accident on the first weekend of training camp. He was injured, sprained his ankle, and the ligament was torn, but not ruptured. However, he will still miss the game, most likely for a month.

Crawford was the Knicks' second-leading outside scorer last season, and he performed well in many key games.

But now, he's hurt.

Eddy Curry, an important member of last season's championship, was reimbursed.

In addition, Jerome James retired, Hardaway returned to Orlando, Jaylen Rose retired, Tony Batty went to China... Can the Knicks still perform the miracle of last season?
This is equivalent to changing a team.

When the outside world is talking a lot.

Preseason is here.

The first game was against the New Jersey Nets next door.

The Nets still have the same three players, Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson.

The Troika made the playoffs last season and are expected to make it this season as well.

The preseason games themselves don't attract much attention. After all, they are not included in the official record and are mostly used to restore the players' condition.

However, Madison Garden Arena was still packed with spectators, and New York fans' love for the Knicks sublimated again with the championship.

Of course, James Dolan has also raised the price of tickets, and at the same time, the costs of various sponsorships have also risen.

A businessman!

James Dolan is now called a business elite, who would dare to say that he is a prodigal?
He even went to his father's grave to dance.

Maybe it was because his father had some last words. On the day of the Northern Expedition victory in New York, he would remember to tell Naiwen the family tribute.

This game also lived up to the fans in attendance.

Originally, everyone thought that the Knicks must be in a sluggish state and their energy must not be as good as the Nets. After all, the Nets are still a normal team, and the Knicks are not normal anywhere.

However, as soon as the game started, the Knicks' newcomers came to life.

Su Xi charged with the ball, and David Lee, Channing Frye, Ariza, and Kyle Lowry followed quickly and methodically.

Suddenly, the offensive was overwhelming.

The Nets were defeated almost instantly, but they still maintained a slow and leisurely pace, as if they were recuperating. The Knicks guys kicked over their classic car, smashed their thermos cups full of wolfberry, and started shouting and getting high together.

The Nets can't get excited.

So, they watched helplessly as Nicks pinned them down and beat them repeatedly.

The Knicks are too fast. The Suns use seven seconds to attack. The Knicks guys are definitely a model of five-second offense.

They didn't give the Nets any time to react and took action immediately after receiving the basketball.

And in such a short period of time, they were able to find some tactical positions.

David Lee also showed some talent as a pick-and-roll forward, and Suhi often built his plays around him.

After the first game, the Knicks effortlessly flattened the Nets and beat the Nets by 28 points.

The second game came all the way from the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons are now celebrating the Chinese New Year, and every year is getting worse.

After Larry Brown left last season, they even lost to the Cavaliers led by James, and their overall strength has weakened again this season.

Their spirits had long been broken by Su Xi.

Now that I see Su Xi again, and it's a pre-season game, I don't have much enthusiasm.

After a fight, he surrendered cleanly.

The Pistons lost by 21 points.

Then, the Knicks went to the West to play away games. In the Golden State Warriors, the Knicks encountered an offensive battle. Mad scientist Nelson led the team to advance by leaps and bounds, and they advanced very quickly.

However, the Knicks are faster.

And their new core player, Baron Davis, was even made a little uncomfortable by Kyle Lowry.

The Knicks won easily. The same is true in Satemento.

Then he came to Los Angeles, and after defeating the Clippers, he faced the Lakers.

The Lakers have made epic improvements this season.

Last season, Kobe reached the peak of his career. He claimed the scoring title with a terrifying average of 36 points per game, and also led the team to the playoffs alone.

this season.

After winning the World Championship gold medal, Yao Ming announced that he would join the Lakers.

This news became the most explosive news of the offseason.

Because the Lakers once again got a super center.

According to the long history of the Lakers, as long as they get the league's No. 1 center, they will definitely win the championship.

Yao Ming is undoubtedly the number one center in the league today. Although some people will be unconvinced, at least O'Neal is willing to be convinced.

He is already very old, and he has also gained a lot of weight this offseason. After losing to Su Xi one after another, his spirit has also been worn away.

If it weren't for Eddy Curry being too obviously fat, he would definitely become the least self-disciplined player in the NBA.

When O'Neal commented on Yao Ming joining the Lakers, he said: "Although I don't want to congratulate the Lakers, I must say that Kobe got his most suitable teammate. Yao Ming has a very good character. Yao Ming will not compete with him for the boss. Yao will also be efficient. Complete his assist indicators and cover for him to stretch the defense."

"The Lakers will definitely become the best team in the Western Conference in the new season."

O'Neal, the player who dislikes the Lakers the most, said this.

You can imagine the other comments.

In fact, the day after Yao Ming joined the Lakers, the Lakers sent out a luxury team to greet Yao Ming. They also asked their center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others to give Yao Ming special guidance. Their coaching team also sent Yao Ming tactics.

Obviously, after losing O'Neal, the Lakers have been waiting for a new inside dominance.

Now, Yao Ming is here.

In order to get Yao Ming, they sent out the rising star Bynum, which was considered a very high price.

But Kobe was satisfied.

He likes Yao Ming, he likes Yao Ming unabashedly.

"Yao Ming is an honest person. He is not like Suzy the Sheep, who always deceives my feelings. Now, after I have Yao Ming, I will kick his ass hard."

"We will definitely compete for the championship, and no one can stop us."

In this game, Yao Ming took a truce.

Yao Ming has played four preseason games before, and the Lakers have completely defeated their opponents.

But before this game, Yao Ming felt some pain in his toes, and the Lakers immediately arranged for a comprehensive examination.

In the entire league, no team has more experience taking care of the Giants than the Lakers.

They have the complete center manual.

Because there are too many great centers in their history.

And all of these players basically maintained excellent physical condition during their time with the Lakers.

Since Yao Ming was away, Su Xi and the Knicks showed no mercy at all. They ran and bombed the Lakers and defeated them step by step.

Kobe didn't put up a fight, and he went off the court to rest shortly after playing.

"It's just a preseason game, let them win. Susie the Lamb has been chasing this kind of winning record."

Kobe Bryant said after the game: "When Yao Ming comes back, he will know how good we are."

In fact, the Knicks' opponent in the opening game is the Lakers.

They will go to Portland to play a road game to end the preseason.

Then back to Los Angeles for the first game of the regular season.

This is the arrangement of the alliance.

When they learned that Yao Ming had transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers, they immediately arranged for the Lakers' opening game opponent to be the New York Knicks.

At the same time, another regular season matchup between the two teams is the Christmas Day game, held at Madison Garden Arena in New York.

An opener, a Christmas fight.

The NBA knows how to play with traffic.

Su Xi went to have dinner with Kobe and Yao Ming in the evening.

They have a close relationship and are able to joke around.

Su Xi said to Yao Ming: "After you left the Rockets, Tracy McGrady has been complaining a lot lately. He said you betrayed Houston and betrayed him."

Yao Ming smiled. After joining the Lakers, he felt more comfortable than ever before.

Even though I was doing well in Houston.

But here with the Lakers, he gets more.

To be fair, the two teams themselves are not on the same level.

"You're right, the NBA is all about business, and people have to pursue a better future."

Yao Ming said.

Su Xi nodded, he was very happy that Yao Ming had figured this out.

"Hey, can you guys stop speaking Chinese in front of me?"

"Okay, Kobe. I just said that Yao Ming made the wrong choice. He might be better off being teammates with you than McGrady."

"Hey, what are you talking about? How could I lose to Tracy McGrady? I can't lose to Tracy McGrady at any time, anywhere. Whether it's skills or willpower, I'm stronger than him. Just wait. Lose in the opening game. You will see Yao who is stronger than ever before!"

"Yao is the ultimate version of Yao only when he is next to the top defender!"
