Chapter 898 [The Great War is Coming]

Winning the first game by a big score has become a habit for the Knicks in recent years, and it is the first time to play a record-breaking score.

Beasley became the focus of media interviews after the game, and reporters all believed that he would be the next person to be saved by Zhou Xuan, and that this season was likely to explode.

In fact, it is not a save, most of Beasley's scoring is based on individual ability, and it is the Pacers themselves who have gone wrong. Back in the second half of last season, the Pacers' problems were already apparent. If you don't win a lot in the early stage, you won't even be able to make the playoffs.

Contrary to the praise of the Knicks, Hibbert became the object of ridicule. Last season he could also rely on the overall defense, and the role is not reflected in the numbers. Now that George is missing, he has been cut down 140+, is it all to blame on the outside players? This was a nationally broadcast game, and all viewers clearly saw that the Knicks covered on the perimeter, Hibbert couldn't defend it, and the Knicks shot 22 three-pointers in the whole game.

On the same day, the Rockets VS Lakers also played a super high score. 146 to 137, the Rockets won.

The Rockets stuck to a fast-paced offense, and Harden maintained his fine form after the Olympics, scoring 46 points in his first game. Howard also had 27 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks. The Lakers basically don't defend, and the combination of Jeremy Lin, Boozer, and Kobe Bryant is fighting hard to attack, and their scoring efficiency is also very high.

Kobe Bryant scored 28 points and 6 rebounds and made a perfect comeback.

Western Mavericks vs Spurs, Spurs won 95-93 and were the only ones with a smaller score. The Mavericks left Marion, the strength of the front line weakened, and he still ensured the offense by relying on the backcourt double guns and Nowitzki, almost overturning the Spurs.

Now the Mavericks most want to send Calderon away, but the contract is too big and the role is mediocre, and no team is willing to take over.

On the 30th, almost all of the team's appearances, and there were upsets, the Nets lost away to the Bucks, who were the bottom of last season, and Knight scored 14 points and 12 assists, organizing the team's offense in an orderly manner. Delon made 1 of 9 shots, plus free throws to finish with 4 points and 7 assists.

Jarred Parker's debut was average, with 10 points and four rebounds. The Bucks' goal this season is not to be bad, they don't have superstars, but they have great players at all positions, and they are very balanced, especially with a number of excellent shooters on the perimeter.

Last season, Anthony, who is 203cm tall, weighed 107 kilograms, and this season it has been reduced to 99 kilograms in one go, directly from melon to loofah. His purpose is to use a style of play with little chance of injury as he gets older, the thinnest and healthiest, but he could have played big forward and resisted the inside, but now he can't resist people and become a pure small forward. Anthony didn't play well in this game, shooting just 8-of-23 and scoring 22 points from the free throw line.

Brook Lopez is back and has not played as well as the previous two seasons, and he is already injured and scared. Garnett is even worse, completely entering the retirement stage, and the new signing Kirilenko is in even worse shape.

The much-talked-about Timberwolves relied on a group of rookies to play the world, and they played poorly. Wiggins looks like a stunned blue, and will only rely on the hard protrusions of his body. Bennett continued to show the potential of being a parallel import, and his low-post attack was completely unable to resist Gasol Jr., and he was blocked three times, and he was also the target of the middle after blocking and dismantling. He can shoot jumpers, mostly on the right baseline, not in the middle.

The Grizzlies can also be considered a good step defense for Rubio to break through and let him shoot. In the Men's Basketball World Cup, Rubio is "Lu Yizhong". He didn't get an early contract extension, and at this level, it's hard to get a big contract at the end of the season.

The best player for the Timberwolves is Kevin Martin, who is not good at defense.

The most unfortunate is the Thunder, Durant will be out for 6-8 weeks in the preseason with an injury, losing to the Trail Blazers in the first game, and Westbrook is injured again.

Matthews became the Trail Blazers' starting No. 2 and finished with 20 points and five rebounds. Lillard had 31 points and seven assists. Aldridge had 22 points and 10 rebounds. Back with the Trail Blazers, Steve Blake also played well, diching out eight assists, averaging nine per game in 26 games for the Lakers last season. 5 points 7. 6 assists. He has great organizational skills.

The only player the Thunder brought in was Anthony Morrow, and Durant was running out of patience. Aside from the five starters and Reggie Jackson, the Thunder bench is a veteran in form and a man who can't be named.

The Bulls also lost Game 1, losing to the Raptors.

In the summer, the Bulls brought in Pau Gasol, Brooks, Antoine Moore, and Mike Dunleavy. He traded his two first-round picks (No. 16 and No. 19) to the Nuggets in exchange for the latter's rookie Doug McDermott, who was selected with the 11th pick.

Doug is known as a versatile scoring machine, a strong ability to read the game, a three-point shooter, a free thrower, not afraid of defense, and a solid rebounder. He leads the NCAA in scoring and is unanimously recognized as Player of the Year. He was named to the All-American First Team and helped Clayton University to the third round of the NCAA Tournament playoffs. In his four years in college, McDermott ranked the fifth highest in NCAA history with a total of 3,150 points, and held the record of 934 points and 330 goals in a single season at Clayton University, and was ranked in total points, total goals (1,141), three-point shooting percentage (45. 8%) and free throws (594) led the varsity team all-time, averaging 26 per game. 7 points, 7 rebounds, 1. 6 assists.

The strength of the Bulls has improved significantly, but they lost by 16 points in the first game, and they are struggling to chase points throughout the game. Brother Dao came off the bench and didn't show any potential.

Derrick Rose is back, just looking at his table in the men's basketball World Cup, the owner of Adidas is already crying, this is a sinkhole.

In the first game, Rose was to ensure the rhythm of Joakim Noah to win the rebounding king, and the main task of Gasol was to brush the board. Originally, people predicted that the Bulls could threaten the Knicks, but now it seems that as long as Rose plays normally, plays a few more irons and is eager to prove that he is blind to the operation of the sabotage ball, the Bulls will have no play. The champion of the year is now an undercover agent.

The Wizards beat the Heat in their first game on the road. Wade, Chandler, and Lore Deng's combined offense was not smooth. Scola played as a substitute and it was no longer good.

The only strong team that hasn't played a game yet is the Cavaliers, and their first game is against the Knicks. This is a highlight on the 31st, the Cavaliers are playing at home, and perhaps James can't wait to sprinkle magnesium powder at home.

The game was broadcast live on multiple radio stations. Some people want to see the Cavaliers beat the Knicks, and James leads the Cavaliers back to being a strong team. There are also people waiting to see the excitement. The online message said, "I really hope this game starts now, and the Knicks are dedicated to cleaning up the Big Three." ”

On the 30th, the Knicks flew to Cleveland to prepare for the game.

James was so unsure that he had only played seven preseason games with his new teammates. 5 wins and 2 losses, although the lineup is strong, it needs to be run-in.

During his four years with the Heat, James was somewhat accustomed to the position of power forward, and in order to play a good small forward again and do a good job of outside defense, he lost weight in the summer. The Cavaliers have weaknesses and the current starting lineup is undecided, and Vallejo is too slow to start with Love. On Thompson's words, he is fast, only Lefu is left on the inside, and he is too short, he is not good at blocking, and he is not good at protecting the penalty area.

The Cavaliers also don't have a great point guard, and James will be on the organizing side by side with Irving.

Cavaliers' head coach David Blatter is also a rookie in the NBA, and it is unknown whether he can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, and it is a bit risky for the Cavaliers to hire him as head coach.

Previously, Blatter spent almost 20 years in the Europa League, with Israel, Greece, Russia and Turkey all leaving him behind.

During his six years in charge of Maccabi, Blatter led the team to six Israeli Cup titles and five Israeli league titles. Blatter also coached Russia for six years, winning the European Championship in 2007 and the bronze medal at the London Olympics in 2012. In the 2013-14 season, he helped Maccabi Travis win the Champions League. On June 20, Blatter became the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Shortly after signing with the Cavaliers, Blatter was named "Euroleague Head Coach of the Year."

Blatter is known for his good communication, he is considered an offensive genius, and his tactics are good at Princeton. It just so happens that Lefu is an inside player who is suitable for playing Princeton.

Looking at the card lineup, the Cavaliers are not inferior to the Knicks, how strong they can be, and we will only know after the game starts.

The big battle is coming, D'Antoni is not nervous at all, he thinks that with Zhou Xuan, the Knicks will have no problem offensively, as long as the defense is a little better, it is possible to win.

Zhou Xuan was more calm, and he said loudly in the locker room: "The Cavaliers broke the record of the Heat this summer and assembled a younger Super Big Three lineup, James is not yet 30 years old, Love is 25 years old, Irving is only 22 years old, they are not even at the peak of their careers, and now the three of them have joined forces, some people say that they are the strongest Big Three in history." Does anyone think so? ”

No one answered. Zhou Xuan continued: "I don't think so anyway. Although the Cavaliers' Big Three are younger and more impactful, they lack experience, especially Irving and Love, who haven't even played in the playoffs, how can such people compare to us? We're a three-time team in a row, and for us, the regular season is a warm-up! Do you have the confidence to win in this warm-up game? ”

"Yes!" The crowd chanted together.

Zhou Xuan said a few simple words, saving the coach's business, and D'Antoni didn't need to boost morale anymore.

Zhou Xuan is not a mouthful, lack of experience is a big constraint for knights, and it can even be said to be their biggest flaw. The inexperienced Owen and Love may be exposed more and more problems in the later games.

Experience is not something that can be taught if you want to teach, just like the most profound realm of the best martial arts secrets, you can only understand it but not pass it on, and you need to summarize the player's personal understanding after experiencing the game, even Zen masters, Popovich and other famous coaches can't teach the players. To put it in layman's terms, it's like a person who eats something and only knows what it tastes like after tasting it.

The Green Triumvirate won the championship in their first year of formation, not because they have super ability, but because they are very experienced. The Warriors have veterans in charge of winning the championship, and the Knicks also have veteran experience in winning the championship, which is indispensable. Of course, the Cavaliers also have veterans, but the only veteran star is James.
