The all-new Knicks attracted a large number of New York fans, especially a large number of Chinese fans to watch the game.

How many Chinese are there in New York? In 2008, the statistics exceeded 500,000. When many people think of the Chinese community in the United States, they think of Manhattan's Chinatown. Today, it is already overcrowded and has no place at all. Therefore, many new Chinese immigrants who have just arrived in New York will choose a new place to settle - Flushing. It has become a good place for overseas Chinese near and far to express their nostalgia, and it is also a new Chinese community that has emerged in New York City in recent years.

When Zhou Gaozhuo visited Chinatown, he felt like he was in Chongqing, and life without knowing English was not a problem at all.

David? Stern is pleased that Zhou Xuan's move to the Knicks is also because it is the most suitable place for Chinese players and the development of the Chinese market.

In the preseason, De Antony was ready to let Zhou Xuan play for a while and find his state, Zhou Xuan also thought so, no matter how good the hand felt when training, the fight would be different.

The Knicks' first opponent challenged the Timberwolves away on the 7th. The Timberwolves played hard in the preseason, and they beat the Lakers in their first upset on the 5th.

Mozgov did not make the squad, D'Antoni had enough scrutiny of him, and he played the World Championships and also needed to rest.

The Knicks started with Zhou Xuan, Matthews, Gallinari, Anderson, and Stoudamire.

Anderson's starting power forward is D'Antoni's preferred tactic, and he is eager to add this three-point shooting point, and he often tries to test the results in training.

Although Pekovic is brave, the poor shooting characteristics still make D'Antoni a little disliked, 90% of his offense is concentrated on both sides of the basket, and the middle offense is also a step outside the reasonable collision zone, and it is likely to hit the iron if it is far away, occasionally showing off small mid-range shots, but it is not a conventional weapon, he is like a strong center that is about to disappear in today's league.

The Timberwolves lineup has also changed a lot, and the starting five Luke? Rednow, Corey? Brewer, Michael? Beasley, Kevin? Lefou, Daktronics? Milicic.

When he got on the court, Beasley said hello to Zhou Xuan, "Hey, Zhou, is your knee okay?" ”

"It's all right, Xie Luxie."

"It's a pity that you didn't participate in the Rookie Challenge last season, and I still want to win two rookie MVPs." Beasley laughed.

"If you take the Timberwolves to the playoffs, it will make more sense than that." Zhou Xuan shook hands with him.

Beasley formed a little friendship with Zhou Xuan because of his cooperation in the rookie game, and he felt that it was great to have a good guard to pass, while in the Heat, he spent most of his time watching Wade attack. He is a man of self-confidence and believes that he can become a star.

Zhou Xuan looked at the lineup of the Timberwolves, the height is enough, except for Ridno, everyone else is more than two meters, and Brewer is 206CM, but such a lineup is self-defeating against the Knicks.

Jumping ball Milicic won against Stadamire. The physical fitness of the parallel trading list is still good. The Timberwolves attacked first, and Zhou Xuan followed Lidno.

Redno passes the ball to Beasley, who plays a pick-and-roll with Love. This is the tactic that the Timberwolves want to focus on in the new season.

Stadamire sat under the basket, Anderson switched defenses, and the Knicks' defense shrank.

Anderson doesn't admit he's not good defensively, and he defended Howard in Magic in-house practice last season, always trying to improve by playing against the best players. He thought he could play in the defensive system, but unfortunately he didn't have a lot of playing time, and now the opportunity has finally come.

Anderson followed Beasley, raising his arm to shrink inside. Beasley didn't look back, almost to the bottom line and turned to the middle to force a hook shot, Anderson almost didn't jump, just raised his hands to interfere, and the ball was deflected.

Stoudamire took the rebound in the backcourt and passed it to Zhou Xuan, who immediately sent it to the frontcourt and gave it to Gallinari. The front court was misplaced, and Gallinari faced Lefou.

Love has an amazing offensive talent, and in order to straighten him out, the Timberwolves sent Jefferson away, but his defense was clearly problematic. The traverse speed is slow, the height is not high, the defense inside and outside are almost good, the only advantage is that the physique is strong, and the inside line can resist people. He's a guy who kind of looks like Fat Randolph.

Lefou's speed back to defense was okay, but he retreated too far back, and took two steps into the three-point line, giving Gallinari room to shoot. The two are about the same height, and Lefu came up again to interfere late, and the ball went in! 3 to 0.

The Timberwolves attacked, Beasley caught the ball and played by himself, facing Anderson's pull-up jumper missed. The rebound was picked up by Matthews and given to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan first pretended to make a long pass to the front court, grabbed the ball with one hand and reached forward, pointed Lidno up, and then put the ball in the direction of passing. It's a very simple streetball move, and Ridno jumps to stop the fast break.

Zhou Xuan quickly passed the half, Brewer came up to block him, Zhou Xuan passed to Matthews on the right side, who received the ball and adjusted, and made a jumper shot before Ridno rushed up, another three-pointer! 6 to 0.

Watching Matthews train in the team, Zhou Xuan felt strange that this guy would actually lose the draft. He is too accurate, and he dares to shoot, if he is given the ball and shoots more, it is possible to average 20+ per game. Zhou Xuan thinks his offensive ability is not as good as Stephen's? Jackson, even stronger.

The Timberwolves attacked, and Rednow and Love covered, and this time he didn't pass Beasley. In the past, eighty percent of them were working alone. After attracting the defense, the ball was returned to Lefou.

"Change the guard!" Zhou Xuan shouted at Matthews.

When Matthews heard the shout, he immediately let go of Brewer and rushed towards Lefou, while Zhou Xuan retreated into the three-point line and followed Brewer.

Lefu is too strong, Zhou Xuan knew at a glance that he couldn't stand it, and he simply didn't suffer that crime, he knew the characteristics of Brewer, although he averaged 13 points per game last season, he rarely shot three-pointers, and was used to cutting inside, breaking through or shooting in the middle. Brewer was blocked by Zhou Xuan as soon as he cut empty.

Lefu didn't pass either, relying on his height advantage to pull out his hand from the outside, he had three-point ability, but Matthews interfered in front of him, affecting his feel and hitting the iron again.

Anderson grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to Zhou Xuan, and this time the Timberwolves returned in time.

The Knicks fell into position, and Zhou Xuan waved his hand to let his teammates pull away. Anderson went 60 degrees to the right, and Matthews was in the bottom right corner. Gallinari left bottom corner.

Stadameyer in the middle covered Zhou Xuan, this formation is too familiar to him, the Sun has been playing like this, and a block and dismantling will definitely form a dislocation.

Zhou Xuan broke through to the left with the ball, Milicic could only come out, and Stadamire immediately cut inside. His most powerful point is not that he can shoot, but that the speed of the air cut after blocking and dismantling can definitely attract the defense, Milicic hurriedly retreated to the inside, and as soon as he retreated, Zhou Xuan jumped and shot.

Lidno is not a defensive defender, he can't run fast and jump high, and when he jumps from the side, Zhou Xuan's ball has already left his hand, and he hits it steadily at 60 degrees. 8 to 0.

Timberwolves fans are stupid, they were both bad teams last season, but this time they are not at the same level.

Redno went to the front court to block and Loaf, and this time they played a little more complicated, Beasley also pulled out the perimeter, and Gallinari followed out of the line. Lidno broke through too slowly, Zhou Xuan bypassed the defense and went to chase the defense, and Lidno didn't know who to pass to.

In addition to Zhou Xuan's periphery and guard, the Knicks are a regional defense, Stoudeyer is always under the basket, Milicic himself can't attract defense, and after the Pistons were depressed for three seasons, all the abilities of this guy have deteriorated.

Lidno gave it to Love, who passed to Brewer, who still couldn't make a pull-up jumper. Stadameyer won the rebound to Zhou Xuan and attacked the position.

Now the Knicks are not fast, and Zhou Xuan is not blindly running, he stretched out three fingers to the frontcourt, and his teammates pulled away again. Stoudmayre covers.

This time, Milicic didn't block very far, he was afraid that Zhou Xuan would break through. Zhou Xuan walked on the left side, moved out of the space to avoid Lidno, and directly made a three-point shot from the outside. Milicic just stretched out his hand and didn't jump. As for Beasley on the same side, on the bottom line and Gallinari hit soy sauce too.

Stoudeyer was not idle, he turned around and wanted to grab a rebound, but there was no ball to grab, and Zhou Xuan's three points were also hit! 11 to 0.

Off the court, the benches stood up and applauded, and the Knicks' offense was too smooth.

Pekovic thought to himself: No wonder this guy dares to say that he will hit the championship this season, we seem to be very good, I haven't played yet.

What's even more powerful is still behind, Zhou Xuan and the other Timberwolves sent out the ball, and several people ran to the front court, and suddenly pressed and forced Lidno in the backcourt.

If other people have knee injuries, I'm afraid it will take a while to defend with the method of leg jamming, but Zhou Xuan began to use that method again, he carefully recalled that injury, because Wade jumped and he retreated before the two collided, it was a coincidence, with Ridnor's height, the possibility of a knee touching a knee was very low. And Kobe Bryant has always used this trick to defend, and he has never seriously injured his knee.

Ridno was blocked with his back to protect the ball, turned to the side and was blocked again, his body had no advantage, and he struggled to lead through the half. At this time, Timberwolves fans are not to mention how disappointed they are. After winning the Lakers once, I thought the team was going to rise, but I didn't expect to play like this with the Knicks, and the victory in the last game seems to be because the Lakers are not serious.

At this time, another weakness of the Timberwolves was revealed, and they did not work hard. The two inside lines don't come back after half the court, and they watch the excitement in the front court. Brewer came back to pick up, and the defender happened to be energetic, and as soon as he caught the ball, Matthews came up and pressed again.

The Timberwolves home announcer shouted, "The Knicks were pressing in the first quarter, did they think this was a playoff game?" ”

Last season with the Jazz, Matthews defended like he was desperate every time, otherwise the Jazz would not have sent Brewer away. When he arrived at the Knicks, he and Zhou Xuan quickly became good friends, because he appreciated Zhou Xuan's attitude when defending. What did he want him to do, Zhou Xuan only needed to roar on the field.

Now Zhou Xuan doesn't roar, as soon as he stepped forward, Matthews immediately came to press, he felt that Zhou Xuan was his role model, the same draft was not taken seriously, and he was the same example of hard work!

Brewer had no choice but to rely on his height advantage to pass directly to the frontcourt, and the Timberwolves formation was disjointed. Beasley received the ball and singled out Gallinari, both of whom were high picks, Beasley's quality was amazing, and Gallinari was also the most talented player in Italy, following the breakthrough.

If you want to fight Gallinari, the best way to fight is to rely on force, not technique. He defends small forwards far better than power forwards, which is also for the reason why he usually only plays one position with the Knicks. Beasley was once again short of his own, long in attack, and left and right before his jumper missed.

This time, Love grabbed the rebound in the front court and squeezed Anderson out of the way to score the ball. 11 to 2.

The Timberwolves scored, but D'Antoni was still happy and their defense didn't seem to be that weak. Through the trade, the team was reborn in a short period of time!
