Talent points: 0.

Before going on stage, Liu He took one last look at the system.

After a summer of hard work, Liu He not only increased his weight by 2kg while keeping his body fat rate unchanged, but also greatly improved his ball control and breakthrough skills.

Liu He's ball control currently reaches 78.

而传球79，突破80，投射（51、82、86）……三威胁全部达到或者接近球星级别。

At 7:[-] p.m., both teams entered the stadium and the starting lineup was announced.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup is:

Position [-]: Olowokandi.

Position [-]: Garnett.

Position [-]: Szczerbiak.

No. [-]: Sprewell.

Position [-]: Cassel.

The Knicks lineup is:

Position [-]: Zaza Pachulia.

Position [-]: Kurt Thomas.

Number three: Liu He.

Position [-]: Hill.

Position [-]: Jason Williams.

When Liu He appeared on the stage, the DJ roared passionately: "Let us welcome...

Best Rookie of last season, Rookie Challenge MVP, All-Star starter, steals leader, three-point contest champion, best team, best defensive team, finals champion...

The devil from Wake Forest...Liu...River! "

In an instant, Madison Square Garden was detonated.

It turns out that this rookie who has only played for one year has already won so many honors. This performance has surpassed the performance of most stars at the same time.

This made the New York fans who were originally frightened and had little confidence instantly ignite a little bit of hope.

Of course, Garnett's vengeance on the opposite side is also stronger.

Soon, the game officially started.

Garnett and Pachulia jump ball.

In addition to stepping on the foot, Pachulia naturally cannot beat Garnett in the jump ball.

Garnett jumped high and moved the basketball to the Timberwolves half.

Cassel advanced to the frontcourt, saw Garnett actively asking for the ball, and passed the ball decisively.

The "low-end version of Duncan" Kurt Thomas' defense was very tough. Unfortunately, Garnett's turnaround jumper was too unsolvable. Thomas could only watch Garnett shoot above his head and bet that Garnett would not score.

Swish!
0: 2.

It's a pity, Garnett had a good start.Thomas lost the bet.

"Roar!"

Naturally, Garnett roared when he hit a jump shot, giving his teammates an "encouragement" buff.

This is the famous big jump shot in the NBA.

The Knicks attack.

White Chocolate advanced to the frontcourt and immediately found the team boss Liu He.

Liu He holds the ball.

Szczerbiak stayed close.

As we all know, Liu He is the best shooter in the NBA now, and he is tall enough.

Therefore, if you want to defend Liu He, you must stay very close, otherwise Liu He can forcefully pull him up.

However, Szczerbiak only stuck very close, but did not dare to touch it.

Because this summer, the NBA league just launched NHC rules.

NHC, no-handcheck.

Specifically: at the free throw line and the area above the free throw line extension, defenders are prohibited from touching attackers with their hands and elbows.

This will be a major change.

From then on, outside players, especially those who are good at breakthroughs, will usher in a data explosion.

In the 14 years before the NHC rules were announced, only two outside players, Iverson and Jordan, had won the MVP. The other MVPs were all won by big men.

In the 14 years since the NHC rules were announced, only one year's MVP was won by a big man, and the other MVPs all belonged to outside players.

This big man is called Nowitzki, and he is also an inside player who plays outside.

Since then, the NBA has entered an era where outside players are king, or in other words, an era where outside players are more important.

This rule naturally benefits Liu He.

I saw Liu He holding the basketball high, making a feint, and suddenly started, and he passed Szczerbiak cleanly in one step.

Being unable to use your hands makes defense more difficult for outside defenders.

Correspondingly, the attacker's attack becomes simpler.

Liu He's explosive power of 79 may not be enough for a defender, but among tall forwards, it is definitely top-notch.

Moreover, Szczerbiak spent most of his energy defending Liu He's shooting, so he was eventually passed by Liu He.

The New York fans at the scene exclaimed: So fast!

While they were exclaiming, Liu He had already rushed to the free throw line.

Garnett immediately came up to cover the defense.

Liu He was stuck in a time lag and completed a pull-up jumper before Garnett pounced.

Swish!
2: 2.

In the TNT studio, Smith asked Barkley in surprise: "Char, did you see it? Liu He's first step was too fast!"

Barkley was also in shock. In his impression, Liu He was not so fast.

Timberwolves offense.

Cassell continued to hand the ball to Garnett in the low post.

Garnett holds the ball and prepares for a singles.

But Liu He had already moved closer, forming a double-team with Thomas.

Garnett was forced to pass the ball to Szczerbiak who was left open.

Szczerbiak caught the ball and shot, but Hill had a good awareness of assisting in defense and rushed forward to interfere enough.

Szczerbiak's shot missed.

Boom!

Pachulia trapped Olowokandi tightly, protected the rebound, and then found White Chocolate immediately.

Pachulia has good passing, support, pick-and-roll abilities, as well as a good mid-range shot, and has a high basketball IQ.

This is why Nelson chose Pachulia as the starting center among Chandler, Varejao and Pachulia.

White Chocolate pushed forward at full speed, and then threw the ball directly over the basket.

Liu He rose from the ground, caught the ball in the air, and dunked with one arm.

boom!
4: 2.

With the addition of the [Beautiful] badge, Liu He's dunk also had an elegant beauty, which caused the New York fans at the scene to exclaim.

Regardless of whether Liu He is strong or not, at least he plays much better than "Gorilla" Ewing.

Timberwolves offense.

As soon as Garnett got the ball, he was double-teamed by Liu He and Thomas and could only distribute the ball.

Szczerbiak was targeted by Hill who was defending again. This time he did not force a shot, but passed the ball to Sprewell. As soon as Sprewell got the ball, Liu He had already pounced on him.

The Knicks successfully completed a defensive switch.

Nelson nodded with satisfaction. Liu He's defensive mobility, experience, height... were all perfect.

As for Hill, it was an unexpected surprise.

The veteran is more practical and willing to defend, which is naturally a good thing for the team.

Sprewell faced Liu He, a small group versus a large group.

Sprewell did not hesitate and launched an attack directly. However, after continuous dribbling, Sprewell failed to find a chance.

First, Liu He's pace is not slow.

Second, the 34-year-old Sprewell has declined significantly this season, and his pace has become even slower.

Gradually, Sprewell held the ball for too long, became a little impatient, and took a difficult shot directly against Liu He.

However, Liu He's size and wingspan were much larger than his, and Sprewell's shot missed due to Liu He's interference.

Boom!

Pachulia and Thomas defended the basket and once again protected the rebound.

Speaking of which, Pachulia is slow and Thomas is short, but both have good rebounding abilities.

There are also Chandler and Varejao on the bench, as well as Malone who is recovering from injury. They are actually good at rebounding.

But this time, under the reminder of head coach Flip Saunders, the Timberwolves retreated quickly and set up their defensive formation in advance, giving the Knicks no chance for a fast break.

White Chocolate saw that the fast break was not going to work, so he slowed down, stabilized the rhythm, and handed the ball to Liu He.

Just looking at these two rounds, White Chocolate's current style of play is indeed much more stable.

Liu He faced Szczerbiak again. Szczerbiak did not stick to Liu He this time and left a little space. It seemed that he had learned the lesson from being stepped on before.

However, Liu He's continuous tentative steps suddenly pulled up directly.

Szczerbiak, who was a little shorter in height, jumped up to block the shot again, but it was too late.

The basketball passed over Szczerbiak's head and slid steadily into the basket.

Swish!
7: 2.

Szczerbiak's handsome face gradually turned into a bitter melon. How to prevent this?
Too close, Liu He passed by in one step.

After letting it go a little, Liu He pulled it up directly on the spot.

I can't prevent it at all!

Timberwolves offense.

Neither Garnett nor Sprewell was able to score. Cassel took over the ball and relied on Garnett's pick-and-roll to switch to Thomas. He took advantage of the small attack and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

7: 4.

However, looking back, Liu He and White Chocolate made a cross move and passed the ball hand to hand.

Liu He caught the ball and pulled up directly when facing Cassel who was changing defense.

The huge height gap left Cassel helpless and helpless.

How helpless Thomas was in the last round, Cassel is doubly helpless in this round.

Swish!
10: 4.

The game has just started and Liu He has already scored 10 points in a row.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden began to heat up.

Dolan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also laughed more and more.

No matter how beautiful it is, it can't compare with a real performance.

Basketball players, after all, rely on their strength to speak, not their mouth.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Szczerbiak received a pass from Cassel.

10: 6.

Looking back, Liu He took the ball again, Szczerbiak pressed close to Liu He, and Garnett also leaned over.

This is to force Liu He to break through and then fall into Garnett's trap.Liu He chuckled. He saw clearly what the Timberwolves were trying to do, so naturally he would not forcefully take action.

This Knicks team does not only have Liu He as an offensive point with the ball.

Without hesitation, Liu He passed the ball to Hill immediately.

Hill faced Sprewell and started directly, passing through the madman like the wind and passing through time.

At this moment, people seemed to have returned to the late 90s and saw the omnipotent Hill.

Because Garnett was close to Liu He, the Timberwolves' penalty area was very empty.

The smart Pachulia used his body to block Olowokandi again, leaving Hill unguarded.

At this moment, Hill rose into the air and bombed the basket with one arm.

boom!
12: 6.

This buckle was earth-shattering.

"Is this Grant?"

Barkley was startled.

Smith also had the same tone: "He has been lying in Orlando for four years, and everyone thinks he is useless, but he..."

"Proved that I can still do it!"

Buckley rushed to say.

Veterans don't die, they just fade away.

Even injuries can't stop Hill.

"Well done, Grant!"

Liu He was the first to step forward, high-fived Hill and hugged him.

Seeing this, the rest of the Knicks naturally followed suit and encouraged Hill one after another.

Old Nelson nodded with satisfaction. Although the Knicks have just begun to rebuild, the atmosphere is quite good.

The key is Liu He, the team leader. If he does well, others will naturally learn from him.

If he is not good, others will naturally follow suit.

Hill just smiled and said nothing.

But he knew in his heart that without Liu He to contain Garnett and Pachulia to block Olowokandi, he would have no chance to complete this dunk.

At this moment, Hill suddenly felt that being abandoned by the Magic and sent to New York might not be the end.

And Hill's moment has just begun.

In the next round, Hill once again broke through and entered the penalty area, attracting double-teams from the enemy and passing the ball to Thomas.

Thomas made a mid-range shot.

In the next round, Hill made a fake shot and scored a three-pointer.

In fact, Hill is not a player who is good at three-pointers. After all, he entered the league in an era when three-pointers were not taken seriously.

In the first six seasons of Hill's career, the season in which he took the most three-pointers, he averaged 6 shots per game.

But again, the influence of the team boss is great.

Liu He practices three-pointers every day. Others on the Knicks team saw their boss practicing so hard, and of course they did not dare to indulge. Many people followed Liu He and practiced three-pointers.

Among them are Hill, Ariza, Thomas, and White Chocolate.

Of course, there are also people like Big Dog and Hardaway who don't care at all.

But those who work hard will always gain something.

Especially Hill, who is extremely talented and has a soft touch, and his three-point shooting has improved very quickly.

In short, when Liu He was heavily defended by the Timberwolves, Hill seized the opportunity, scored 5 points and 1 assist, and took over the offensive banner.

At this point, the Timberwolves naturally no longer dare to put all their defensive focus on Liu He.

Liu He was liberated again.

He and Hill took turns to attack. After 8 minutes of the first quarter, 28:20, the Knicks led by 8 points.

Liu He scored 28 points, half of the 14 points.

At this time, Nelson followed the team doctor's instructions, controlled Hill's playing time, and conducted the first rotation.

The Knicks' lineup on the court changed.

Chandler, Thomas, Liu He, Crawford, Payton.

As for the Timberwolves, Coach Sanders made no adjustments and still started the game with five starters, interrupting and taking the opportunity to chase points.

Timberwolves offense.

Sprewell broke through Crawford and entered the penalty area.

Crawford's defense is really bad and he can't stop the hard-core madman at all.

However, in the penalty area, Chandler jumped high and slapped Sprewell's shot away.

You can really jump on a horse!

Chandler and Pachulia are completely different types.

Pachulia has poor talent, but has a high IQ and plays smart.

Chandler is extremely talented, but not smart.

The Knicks launched a defensive counterattack. Crawford dribbled behind the defender to play with the defender, and then succeeded in a layup.

30: 20.

Looking back, Garnett relied on Cassel's organization to create a one-on-one opportunity for Chandler, beating the jumping Chandler 2+1.

30: 23.

Garnett led the counterattack.

But then, Crawford broke into the paint, passed Thomas, and succeeded in the mid-range shot.

32: 23.

In the next round, Sprewell hit a mid-range shot.

32: 25.

But soon, Crawford once again relied on his one-on-one counterattack ability to shoot directly after dribbling.

Swish!
34: 25.

Relying on Crawford's impact, the Knicks successfully passed the rotation period.

After the first quarter, 36:27.

The Timberwolves' starters, who played a whole quarter, found that they were exhausted but could not narrow the point difference at all.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Payton and Crawford came out with the substitute lineup and did not let the Timberwolves' substitutes take advantage.

Crawford showed great impact and kept attacking.

Since he is playing as a substitute for the Timberwolves, Crawford's pressure on the defensive end has been drastically reduced and he can focus more on the offensive end.

In the second half of the quarter.

The two sides exchanged the starting lineup.

The lagging Timberwolves also made adjustments and switched to a zone defense, hoping to limit Liu He and Hill's breakthroughs.

Nelson responded immediately.

Pachulia moved to the free throw line to hold the ball and provide support to his teammates.

Liu He relied on the cover of others to run out of the open space, received Pachulia's pass, and fired directly.

Swish!
Swish!
As Liu He hit a three-pointer on each wing, the Timberwolves' zone defense instantly collapsed.

At the end of the first half, 62:51, the Knicks led by double digits.

When Garnett came off the court, his face was full of depression.

No, I can't beat the Big Three of the Lakers. Why can't I beat Liu He alone?
Garnett couldn't understand it.

He was going to take revenge tonight, push Liu He to the floor and rub him, and make the Knicks a joke.

But now, Garnett is more like a joke.

He made bold statements before the game, but was crushed from start to finish during the game.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves launched a counterattack under the leadership of the three-headed monster and Szczerbiak, trying to turn defeat into victory.

But the increasingly reliable White Chocolate calmly controlled the rhythm and distributed the ball.

Liu He and Hill are the two arrows, followed by Pachulia and Thomas in the mid-range shot, and the firepower is not lost to the Timberwolves at all.

At the end of the three quarters, Liu He had scored 35 points.

The Knicks also continued to lead the Timberwolves 93:79.

By the fourth quarter, the three-headed monster played almost the entire game.

Garnett can still play in his prime, but the 35-year-old Cassell and the 34-year-old Sprewell can't bear it.

Seeing the pair of defenders miss again and again, the point difference is getting bigger and bigger.

With less than 4 minutes left and the score difference approaching 20 points, Flip Saunders replaced all the main players and declared surrender.

In the end, 127:109, the Knicks defeated the Timberwolves and got a good start to the new season.

刘河砍下全场最高的43分7篮板3助攻3抢断1盖帽。

希尔打了25分钟，高效砍下18分6篮板4助攻1抢断。

Crawford also had 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Thomas had 12 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals.

Pachulia had 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

White Chocolate had 10 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

Chandler had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 blocks.

Payton had 8 points, 1 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

In addition, Ariza, Hardaway, and Varejao played less time and did not have much data.

Timberwolves here:

加内特32分13篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽。

Garnett's statistics are still gorgeous, but he just can't win.

Sprewell had 19 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assists.

Cassel had 17 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal.

Szczerbiak had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

刘河的纽约首秀就砍下43分7篮板3助攻3抢断1盖帽。

He conquered the Knicks fans in just one game.

In the last few minutes of the game, when Liu He was substituted, all the New York fans chanted:

"Liu He!"

"Liu He!"

"Liu He!"

……

James Dolan was overjoyed, because on his social media, countless New York fans left messages, bringing Liu He to New York. Dolan has washed away all the problems in the past.

"No! Those are not Dolan's problems at all. It is Isiah Thomas's great wisdom that tricked Dolan."

"Dolan, I love you!"

"You have brought a new king to New York."

……

In the TNT live broadcast room, a beaming Cole said: "Isiah, you have seen big scenes, are you ready? The date with stockings and high heels at the end of the season."

Thomas snorted: "Humph! It's just a victory. The season is very long. Can Liu He perform at a super level in every game? Can Hill always stay healthy? Can Crawford always maintain this kind of impact? ?"

……

In any case, this night, Liu He scored 40+ and led the Knicks to defeat last season's second place in the Western Conference. This was an upset and shocked many people.

In Denver, Anthony scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.I was in a bad mood because I lost the game.Seeing Liu He's data, Anthony was even more unhappy.

In Los Angeles, Kobe scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. After winning the game, Kobe had just received his championship ring and was ready to go home and relax.But after looking at Liu He's data, Kobe put on training clothes.

Cleveland, James scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.Although the Cavaliers lost, James did not lose and he was in a good mood.But after seeing Liu He's data, James suddenly felt bad.

In Miami, Wade scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, and teamed up with O'Neal to defeat the Nets. He was in a good mood.But seeing Liu He's data, Wade's smile instantly halved.
