I'm really strong in basketball

The reporter asked curiously: "Liu He, after seeing you lose the game today, you seem...a little extra excited."

The reporter said with some hesitation.

Liu He smiled cheerfully: "Don't doubt yourself, your feeling is right."

"In tonight's game, both sides gave everything and worked hard. It was a hearty game, and I like this kind of competition. It makes me happy!"

The reporter was still a little confused: "But you lost after all!"

Liu He still smiled and replied: "Losing is indeed an unpleasant experience, but I have given everything and still lost, so what can I do? I can only congratulate my opponent, and then train well after the game to try to win back next time. As for being sad, there’s no point.”

After hearing this, the reporter understood Liu He's thoughts and said with a smile: "Your thoughts are completely different from Kobe's. If Kobe had lost, he would definitely not be able to laugh."

Liu He was noncommittal: "Everyone has their own way of dealing with things, which is normal. It's not good or bad. But, I would rather watch Kobe cry... because if he smiles, it means I lost... Hahaha!"

The whole audience roared with laughter and couldn't stop laughing.

At this moment, a behemoth suddenly came over and said loudly: "On this point, Liu He and I have absolutely the same idea."

When everyone saw it, it turned out to be O'Neal.

So what O'Neal meant was that he was also willing to see Kobe cry.

This guy... really doesn't shy away from hating Kobe.

On the last day of November, the Knicks easily defeated the Bulls.

In this way, the Knicks achieved a record of 14 wins and 1 loss in the first month of the season, leading the league.

With his outstanding record, Liu He won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in November without any suspense.

In the West, Duncan won the Player of the Month.

The two devils are in opposition to each other.

At the same time, Chris Paul, also from the Demon Deacons, won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month.

整个11月，保罗场均能得到16.4分5.5篮板6.8助攻2抢断，并且带领着老鹰队打出了9胜6负的战绩。

On the contrary, "White Duncan" Bogut, who had high hopes, only averaged 8.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

Speaking of water, obviously not.

But compared to the publicity in the summer, it is definitely cooler.

Duncan?

This is simply the worst time that Duncan has been hacked.

Comparing the two, Paul is indeed much better than Bogut.

At this time, fans and media recalled what Liu He said on the night of the draft.

"If New York had the No. [-] pick, I would choose Paul without hesitation."

"Bogut has a chance to achieve what Duncan did, but in a dream."

……

"Wow, Liu He's vision is so vicious!"

"Yes, he saw through it when he was drafted. Paul is the last rookie of this class."

"Think about how famous Bogut was at that time, and he was used to touch Duncan. The result... haha. Liu He is still very good, he can't see through Bogut at a glance."

……

In Milwaukee, Bogut looked at the comments from the fans and the media and was so angry that he tore up the newspaper in hand and thought angrily: "The new season has only been played for a month, and it's still unclear who is stronger and who is weaker? Why do you think I'm not good? ?”

Damn Chris Paul!

Damn the fans!
Damn Liu He!
……

Everyone who says I can't do it should die!
In addition, Josh Howard finally made his mark and became the main player of the Mavericks.

Wake Forest University's basketball team became extremely famous and became the basketball academy that many high school players looked forward to.

Then time entered December.

At the beginning of December, the Knicks' schedule was relatively easy and there were no strong opponents.

The only strong opponent is the Suns, whose second-in-command Stoudemire is also injured and missing.

The Knicks pushed all the way and continued to sweep the league.

12 month 12 day.

The Knicks face the challenge of the Bucks at home.

This is Andrew Bogut’s second visit to Madison Square Garden.

The first time was the draft, and the scene was relatively ordinary.

This time it was the regular season, and Bogut immediately felt the difference in this home court.

The fans in the first few rows are all familiar faces that often appear on the TV screen, celebrities, rich people... the whole stadium is star-studded.

Everything reveals prosperity and liveliness.

On the other hand, in Milwaukee, it was already snowing at this time and the wind was bone-chilling.

Heavy snow piled on the ground, and even the city roads were indistinguishable.After walking through a few streets, I couldn't even see a single person, it was all desolate.

The difference is too big!
Feeling the gap, Bogut, who had been questioned by fans recently, was even more unhappy.

Why can others enjoy themselves in a big city like New York, but I have to go to a country like Milwaukee to suffer?

Naturally, Liu He didn't know about Bogut's little thoughts, and he didn't bother to know.

The eagle's eyes only see the sky, and there are no flies.

Immediately, the Bucks' starting lineup was announced.

Position [-]: Bogut.

Position [-]: Magloire.

Position [-]: Reed.

No. [-]: Maurice Williams.

Position [-]: TJ Ford.

For the Knicks, the starting lineup is still:

Position [-]: Chandler.

Position [-]: Randolph.

Number three: Liu He.

Position [-]: Hill.

Number one: white chocolate.

Game start.

Chandler beat Bogut on a jump ball, leaped high and moved the ball into the Knicks' half.

White Chocolate advanced to the frontcourt and looked for Liu He first.

Liu He glanced at the entire field and immediately handed the ball to Hill.

The Bucks' backcourt combination is too short. Ford is 183cm, and Mobu is 185cm.

There is no need for any tactics, the 203cm Hill is born to be misplaced.

Hill was also unequivocal. Facing Mo Bu, who was much shorter than himself, he passed the ball directly and easily put the ball into the basket.

Mo Buchuan had no choice but to watch helplessly.

Swish!
2: 0.

It turns out that not every short guard is a mountain in Puerto Rico!
Look, it's so easy to fight the big ones and the small ones. It's almost like playing. How come someone can't take action?

The Bucks attack.

TJ Ford advanced to the frontcourt, set a pick-and-roll with Bogut, and took the opportunity to accelerate and break through.

In fact, Ford was also a rookie in the 2003 Platinum Generation, and his pick was quite high, being the eighth pick in the first round.

Ford is extremely fast. Even Iverson said it himself: Ford is faster than me in straight line acceleration.

This guy also played well when he first entered the league, but he only played 55 games in his rookie season before suffering a serious injury.

The sophomore year took a year off.

Just returned this season.

Even so, after a year and a half of delay, Ford can still average 12.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season.

Ford has wind under his feet and is extremely fast.

Chandler moved quickly, but still couldn't stop the small defender, allowing Ford to break into the penalty area.

But at this moment, Randolph quickly returned to the basket and stretched out his hands to stop Ford.

Unfortunately, it is still a step behind.

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle and Randolph committed a defensive foul.

On the sidelines, Nelson was not angry at all, but smiled.Randolph failed to guard Ford, but his defensive attitude in this round made Nelson very satisfied.

After playing for the Knicks for a month, Randolph gradually integrated into the team and slowly changed under the influence of the team.

Once, in Portland, Randolph didn't even know what supplementary defense and assisting defense were?

But now, Randolph knows how to help his teammates.

This is a good change.

Of course, it's still a little bit off.

on the field.

Randolph was a little downcast: He obviously tried hard, but why did he still fail in defense?
This is a critical point in time.

If given the right guidance, Randolph will be more active on defense in the future.

On the contrary, Randolph would think: I can't prevent it even if I try hard, so why waste my energy?
At this moment, Liu He came over and patted Randolph on the shoulder: "Zach, your choice just now was very good. If you had been more determined, you might have succeeded!"

On the sidelines of the court, Nelson also gave a thumbs up to Randolph: "Zach, keep it up, your defensive attitude just now was very good."

Randolph, who was still a little disappointed, suddenly felt warm in his heart.

"Why are you people like this? If you want to get angry, you don't even have a chance!"

Randolph clenched his fists, a cute smile appeared on his big round face, and he became more energetic.

Here, Ford stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.

2: 2.

The Knicks offense continued to get the ball to Hill.

Hill faced Mo without passing the ball. This was a teaching of offensive techniques.

Hill turned his back to Mo Bu, took a step forward, turned around and pulled up.

Swish!
4: 2.

Isn't it easy for a tall forward to hit a short defender out of position?

Why can't you take action?
The Bucks attack.

Ford benefited from the pick-and-roll in the last round, and continued to play pick-and-roll tactics with Bogut in this round.

Bogut blocks white chocolate.

Ford took the opportunity to accelerate its breakthrough.

He is indeed fast. Chandler is a big man with nimble feet, but he still can't keep up with Ford.

But this time, Liu He rushed over from the flank to help Chandler defend.

The two giants stood side by side, arms spread wide, blocking the Ford.

This assisting defense was just right, and Ford's breakthrough was snuffed out.

But Ford's passing vision and route were excellent, and he passed an exquisite through ball to Bogut in the pick-and-roll.

Bogut holds the ball and sprints directly to the basket.

But at this moment, Chandler caught up from behind, jumped up high, and threw him over with a big hand.

Snapped!
Great hot pot!
Bogut also wanted to get the ball back, but Chandler took off a second time and knocked the ball away.

In just one round, Chandler's talent turned Bogut into a scumbag.

If you don’t understand, just ask, with Bogut’s talent, why is he called “White Duncan”?
Before Duncan was seriously injured, he was flying and escaping, doing all kinds of dunks.Although fans misunderstood that he was called the Flying Devil, it was indeed very appropriate.

On the other hand, Bogut's running and jumping talents are not even as good as Chandler's.

Tell me... is this the worst time Duncan has been hacked?

Liu He got the basketball and started a fast break himself.The defense attracted Reed and Mo Bu's pass in the frontcourt, but suddenly passed the ball to White Chocolate, who was unguarded on the wing.

White Chocolate caught the ball and scored an easy layup.

Bang, swish!

6: 2.

The Bucks attack.

TJ Ford advanced to the frontcourt. This time he did not attack directly, but first observed the defense.

Chandler's defense is already good, and with the tall Liu He on the wing ready to help defend... the Knicks' lineup is too unfriendly to breakthrough players.

Ford cared less and chose to hand the ball to the team boss Reed.

As soon as Reid got the ball, he felt the defensive pressure coming towards him.

Liu He, who was one size larger than Reed, spread his legs and spread his arms, like a copper wall, standing in front of Reed.

Difficult!
Reed frowned.

Reed presented a triple threat and constantly used probing steps to mobilize Liu He's defense.

However, Liu He relied on his advantage of size to remain motionless and adapt to all changes.

There was no other way, Reed had no choice but to move first.

Swish!
Reed took a step forward.

Michael Reed has always been known for his shooting skills. In fact, his breakthrough ability is also very strong, his explosive power is very strong, and his first step is very fast.

However, Liu He maintained a defensive distance that was enough for him to react, slide and move sideways, firmly blocking the middle between Reid and the basket.

Reed failed to get past Liu He and dribbled with his back, trying to change direction and break through again.

Liu He made another sliding move, cutting off Reed's breakthrough line.

In desperation, Reid could only take the ball and forcefully pull it up on the spot.

Liu He stretched out his long arms and jumped to block the shot.

Facing Liu He's tall figure and long arms, Reid could only lean back desperately to avoid being blocked.

But it makes this ball very difficult.

Bang!

The ball really didn't go in.

Chandler and Randolph worked together to protect the rebound. Randolph took the ball and immediately saw Hill who was already on the fast break.

Randolph rounded his arms and made a long, grenade-like pass to Hill in the frontcourt.

Hill caught the ball, took three and two steps to get to the basket, and scored a dunk.

boom!
8: 2.

The Bucks attack.

Reed continued to single out Liu He, changing directions continuously, and Reed directly pulled up.

Liu He jumped to block the shot.

In order to avoid being blocked, Reed shot the ball in a very high arc, flying high, then falling and falling into the basket.

Swish!
8: 5.

"Roar!"

Reed pumped his fists and roared excitedly. It's not easy to score under Liu He's defense!

"Hoho, good job! Michael..."

Liu He was not impatient, but smiled and congratulated Reid.

The Knicks attack.

Liu He was not in a hurry to take action, and continued to let Hill play in misplaced singles, scoring points on Mo Bu's pass.

Swish!
10: 5.

And when we look back, the Bucks attack.

Liu He took the initiative to stand in front of Reed: "Is your name Michael? Come on, keep going! If you can, shoot me!"

Liu He lowered his center of gravity, slapped the floor fiercely, and stared at Reid fiercely.

The defense upgraded again.

The New York fans in the audience also became excited and roared loudly: "Knicks, defend!"

"Defense, Knicks!"

"Knicks, defense!"

……

In the end, under Liu He's close-to-hand defense, Reed scored another iron in his third attempt.

Bang!
