Chapter 807 [Pre-season Training, First Battle Heat]

In the training camp, except for Udri and Aldridge, everyone else quickly found their senses.

Copeland was the biggest surprise for the Knicks, and his three-point shot was more accurate. In addition to shooting threes, he is also very aggressive on the defensive end, with a physical advantage in the swingman position.

The coaching staff has decided that Copeland will be given more opportunities in the new season. Kenyon Martin is only 26m tall and about the same as 23nR scoop copland. Looking at the defense of the outside line, Copeland has improved and moved laterally. Martin's role is very single, with only defensive experience left. It's better to directly let Copeland enter the 2-man list and play as a substitute in the B4 position.

Zhou Xuan's table xiàn is average. He didn't practice this summer, but he did a lot of exercise when he was filming, and his body did not deteriorate, and he is now in the recovery stage. Every day he is organized, and then he practices shooting, just like his teammates. Because of his excellent memory, he slowly regained his senses.

The new guard Augustin started from scratch, and he no longer had the arrogance of the No. 9 rookie that year, and he humbly asked for advice to Zhou Xuan in the same year, and he trained very hard. Although his organizational skills are a little weaker, he has also made his way into the eyes of the coaching staff. Try to play him and Bledsoe as a two-guard in the second quarter, and it was Augustin who controlled the ball. When the position is attacking, let him cooperate with the inside block, distribute the ball, and his pull-up jump shot after the block is excellent.

D'Antoni was excited. In the past two years, the Knicks' defense has improved, and they have won consecutive championships in the playoffs, but D'Antoni prefers offense, like Zhou Xuan's high average points per game that season, and winning with scoring is what he wants to see the most. This season, the Knicks' attack power has increased by one level.

After the training, Zhou Xuan invited everyone to dinner as usual and gave a small gift, and even the two marginal people who were not guaranteed contracts were not left behind. This time he sent Microsoft ARFAC, a small pole computer, and the quality is not to be said. Zhou Xuan sold Microsoft's stock and made tens of millions of dollars. In addition, he is also the new spokesperson of this computer, and giving the computer to friends is also a kind of publicity.

The most important thing in NHA is the local tyrant, and compared with Kobe, Zhou Xuan's gift is nothing. Previously, Kobe Bryant had given his teammates a famous watch. After making the playoffs last season, he gave his teammates a specially made laptop with Kobe's printed on it. What is strange is that Kobe Bryant can spend millions to please his teammates, and his mother took him for less than 60,000 and sent it to court......

At the banquet, Anderson still brought Gia, and the two have reconciled. Anderson revealed to Zhou Xuan that he was ready to propose in the season opener with a championship ring.

This dangdang wedding ring is a bit big for Gia, but it means a lot. Anderson has figured it out now, and the two of them have been together for years, and it's time to get married. The opener is a good idea, and everyone will have to say something about it when they get a ring. Anderson would like to make one last testimonial. Mu Lin agreed, and he would be the last one at that time, and then Anderson could steal the limelight from Zhou Xuan.

On January 6, the nhaI team that was going to play overseas was the first to play, and the Knicks did not participate in foreign games, and they only made their official debut on January 9, and the opponent was the Celtics.

Zhou Xuan played 18 minutes, scored 6 points and B assists, and hit both shots. Jefferson Will, who shot 7-of-18 from the field and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line in 18 minutes, finished with 18 points and six rebounds. Both were unused in the second half.

The Knicks dominated the game off the bench and eventually beat the Celtics 114-97. Rondo is still on the injury list waiting to be activated, and the Celtics have been a no-name group of people off the bench this season, ready to be on the move. The inside and outside cores of the new season are probably Buss and Green, and this is the strongest player for the Celtics.

On the 2nd, the Knicks defeated the Raptors 16-1oo away.

Stoudemire didn't play for the Raptors.

Stoudemire underwent a knee surgery this summer, his third in a year, which led to his hardly any offseason training and was not a major repair surgery, but a follow-up to previous surgery. Last season, Stoudemire played just two games due to injury, averaging 14 per game. 2 points and 6 rebounds. It is still unknown whether he will be able to make it in time for the opening game of the new season.

The Raptors have the league's seventh-highest salary, and they may make the playoffs, but they have to pay a little luxury tax, and their roster is too low value for money compared to the Knicks, who have a similar salary.

On the 13th, the Knicks fought the Celtics back-to-back.

In the preseason, he was looking for opponents who were not strong, and Mullin wanted to find his form for a relaxed game considering that Zhou Xuan did not train systematically in the summer. If it was too intense, the uniform team was worried that Zhou Xuan would be injured. From a personal and team point of view, Mullin didn't want Zhou Xuan to go to Europe to make movies.

Like the last game, the Knicks won easily, and Zhou Xuan still didn't score a double-double, only shot 4 baskets, hit a three-pointer, and scored 6 points on 2-of-2 free throws.

Bosh played well this game, hitting 2 of 2 three-pointers and more than 2 shots, scoring 2 points and 4 rebounds, and his rebounding is still very average. The good thing is that the Knicks' shooting percentage now doesn't seem to have many rebounds to grab, and the rebounding difference can be forgiven.

Then the Knicks defeated the Wizards, Raptors, Bucks, and Bobcats to end the preseason with a winning record.

The Knicks have a lot of bright spots, and almost everyone plays well, except for Udri. He has poor athleticism, his pace is too slow, and he always delays fighters when he moves fast

Aldridge played 34 minutes against the Bucks and finished with 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Due to the Thunder's fast and agile style of play, the movement is slow, the average defensive Aldridge has not been reused, and with Perkins of a similar type in front, it is difficult for him to even get a chance to play.

Aldridge, who wore the bench, didn't get one of the most important opportunities of his life until Harden was traded, but unfortunately he didn't take it.

However, he has been honing in college for three years, has more offensive means, has tonnage and a certain ability to play back, is very skilled in the left hook, can shoot in the frame, has the ability to respond, and is suitable for blocking and following up the sudden point play. He's good as a center forward with fewer and fewer traditional stakes.

Regardless of whether he can play or not, and for how long, the management is ready to keep Aldridge until the end of the season. And Udri can go directly, B⊥ Augustine is much better than him, and the experience is really not a qiē.

Mullin thinks it would be better to stay in Udri and find a new person to practice. Like Beverley, no one wanted it at the beginning, because he had the body to shoot, so he played it, and now he has an annual salary of nearly 10 million.

After the preseason, Mullin announced that he had cut veteran Udri and then gave 198-year-old Toure Murray a non-guaranteed contract. Murray played for the Knicks in the preseason and averaged 2 minutes per game to score five points.

It's an unknown player, Murray played in the '22 NH Draft and wasn't drafted by any team.

Murray later joined the Erie Seahawks of the Exhibition League, where he played in six games in the playoffs, averaging three appearances per game. B contributed 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4B assists in the B minute. He is 196m tall and weighs 6 kilograms, is a two-way guard, has poor confrontation ability, and has the advantage of having a good three-point shot, and the three-point shooting rate of the exhibition league is 43...... He is also playmaker and enjoys sharing the ball. That's why Mullin values him. The Knicks need a pitcher, and he can top up if he gets an injury.

Of course, as long as the youngster Henry is not injured, he has little chance. Henry's three-point shooting is also alive and athletic, and he has had a lot of opportunities in the preseason, averaging B6 points per game.

At this point, all 15 players for the Knicks for the new season have been confirmed.

Centre-forwards: Al Jefferson, Samuel Dalehampoter, Cole Aldridge.

Power forwards: Ryan Anderson, Chris Bosh, Kenyon Martin.

Small forwards: Coy Leonard, Chandler Parsons, Chris Copland.

Shooting guards: Wesley Matthews, Toure Murray, Xavier Henry.

Point guards: Zhou Xuan, B⊥ Augustin, Eric Bledsoe.

On the other day, the Knicks will have a regular season opener on January 3, at home against the Heat.

The league's arrangement attracted the attention of countless fans, and the two teams made a trade in the summer. Chandler and Bosh will deal a blow to their old clubs.

It is also a question of what level the Heat Big Three will be able to play after they disband. Fans are generally bullish on the Knicks, although they didn't look for a strong team to compete in the preseason.

In addition to trading with the Knicks, the Heat also welcomed back Beasley, who was cut by the Suns, with a year-end salary. Beasley is capable, but has a problem with his brain, and often plays randomly to disrupt the team's tactics. Riley thinks it's perfectly feasible to let him play off the bench to steal points. As soon as he entered the league, he worked as Wade's younger brother for two years, and his performance was good.

Next up is the Knicks playing the Nets on the road. As soon as I came up, I met the top two in the east, which was very interesting. These two teams also want revenge on the Knicks.

The Nets didn't make a big move in free agency, just bringing in Shaun Livingston and Alan Smith. It's just two base-salary substitutes, and they also have to pay the price of the middle class, because they will pay a lot of luxury tax.

The most amazing thing is that the Nets did not choose to renew the contract of the old coach Callesimo, and invested in the search for a new coach early in the summer, including former Lakers meritorious Phil Jackson has become a potential target for the Nets' golden yuan offense. In the end, the "Zen master" did not come out again. After the veteran Kidd announced his retirement, the two sides hit it off, and Kidd signed with the Nets on a one-year contract to become the team's new coach.

From player to coach, whether Kidd's transition is successful or not, the 4o year old will turn a new page on his basketball resume.

As a player, Kidd was selected by the Mavericks in the second round in 1994, and has played for the Mavericks, Suns, Nets and Knicks in his career, and has been selected to the All-Star team 1o times and the All-NBA first team 6 times. During his career, he has sent a total of 1O triple-doubles, ranking first in the NHA all-time triple-double list. His career assist total is 2,079, which ranks second on the NHA's all-time assists list, and his career 279 steals are also the second all-time, and his total of 1,975 three-pointers is the all-time best. He averaged 2 career games per game. 6 points, 6 rebounds, 93 steals.

Playing well doesn't mean being a good coach, the Nets are very risky, and their strength is not significantly improved compared to last season.

The 2132o14 season is about to begin
