Chapter 709 [Domineering Start]

The Knicks played an amazing game, with seven players scoring in double figures, a terrible average.

Zhou Xuan had 10 points and 16 assists, Scola had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Leonard had 16 points and 5 rebounds, and Parsons scored three three-pointers with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Bleche and Anderson also scored in double figures. The three inside lines combined for 47 points, and the Heat were blown out. The Heat Bosh had 16 points and eight rebounds, while Birdman Anderson had two points and Haslem had two points off the bench.

James had 28 points, eight rebounds and six assists and was substituted four minutes early in the fourth quarter.

After the game, Barkley commented: "Zhou Xuan obviously didn't do his best against the Heat, he only had 8 shots, which is too little for the core." It seems that the Heat will not be able to beat the Knicks, and if James does not want to hate the Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive season, he had better ask for a trade as soon as possible and move to the West. (Didn't you trade for your teammates?!) )

James does have plans to leave, and he has to, and he can't stay with the Heat for six years.

He signed a 6-year contract with the Heat, and when the contract expires, he will be in his thirties, and his physical fitness is definitely not as good as it is now, he can break through and use his body to carry the opponent to the basket in the past, and when he is old, the opponent does not need to let him take a step, just interfere with his shooting, and James is not very accurate, so his shooting percentage may be less than 45% at that time, which is a portrayal of all those who play by the body when they are old, and it is difficult for him to dunk quickly like when he was young, and the offensive efficiency must be greatly reduced.

If you say that he relies on his vision to play as a playmaking striker, his offensive ability has declined, and there is no one to cover him, where does his teammates get the vacancy for him to pass the ball? And he can't defend all five positions with his body, so he can only rely on experience to defend.

Even in order to get a big contract, James has to leave. By the time he arrived at the Heat, he had a back path in mind, so the next two years were a player option, and in 2014 he could jump out of his contract to pursue a salary cap. He has a good plan, hoping to get a championship in the Heat and jump out of the contract, and have a better chance of getting a high salary. The only thing that didn't count was the rise of the Knicks, who felt like he had been abused for too long until 2014.

Embarrassingly, James can't ask to be traded yet. If he makes this request, his reputation in the league will be completely stinky, and Heat fans will have to burn his jersey. Even if the Heat are willing to change, which team can get the chips? If he is replaced, the lineup will be ruined, and there is no hope of winning the championship. If he jumps out of his contract again in 2014, it will not burn the jersey, but burn him together.

The Knicks players who attended the press conference were all in high spirits, and the Heat were the polar opposite.

Bleche talks to the camera. "That's what I want to play, everyone knows what they should do, and then beat their opponents, it's great to play next to Zhou Xuan."

"Although he didn't stay with the Rockets back then, I think we were destined." Scola smiled, perhaps thinking it was too ambiguous, and rubbed his nose in embarrassment. "Of course...... I'm not saying I'm interested in him, I'm talking about fate on the pitch. ”

Reporters are sweating wildly, big brother, you are a shy fart! Nervous fart! Do we think crookedly? Wait a minute...... It can't be that you're crooked, right?

Leonard was also sought after by journalists, asking a lot of questions. He mixed up as a starter, and there were quite a few media outlets in the summer that he squeezed Gallinari out. Some people also say that Zhou Xuan turned stones into gold, and Leonard can play because in the Knicks' system, someone passes the ball.

The Rockets even said that they saw Leonard and regretted that they chose Morris Jr. with the No. 14 pick. The Suns also regretted picking Big Morris for the 13th place. The two brothers unfortunately lay down on the gun.

In fact, Leonard may have achieved more success on other teams, and he was only a role player with the Knicks. His current style of play is completely different from when he was in college, purely for the Knicks system, three-pointers, air cuts, and side passes are all his tactical needs.

Back then, Leonard was an offensive player with the ball, liked to pull up the jumper, and was a killer feature, and he could also break through with the ball in the low post and turn around and throw or make fouls, and now he can, but rarely use it. If you go to a team that gives him the ball, he might become a scorer.

The reporter asked Zhou Xuan about the target. Zhou Xuan said: "I want to lead the team to win as much as possible, challenge for the best record, and then defend the title, and that is our goal." ”

The reporter asked: "Do you have any thoughts on the current lineup?" You're the only superstar on the team right now. ”

"I'm very happy with my teammates, fame doesn't tell everything, it's about fitting into the system. Wasn't I a second-round rookie back then? In my opinion, each of them has strengths and has the potential to become stars, and what I want to do is to help them bring out their strengths. ”

Zhou Xuan just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to become a wise saying for point guards. A point guard who can't help his teammates play their best is not a good defender.

On the 5th, the Knicks will play the 76ers at home.

After getting two days off, Zhou Xuan invited his teammates to the best restaurant in Chinatown for a meal, and he could bring his family, and Kolo also went with him.

There are a lot of newcomers here, and Zhou Xuan must win people's hearts. Everyone else is easy to do, Nick Young and Bleche, two Wizards veterans, are not stable people, and they must be convinced to ensure that the whole team is in harmony.

After chatting, Zhou Xuan was relieved. Although Bleche has an inappropriate private life and likes to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, he is still relatively dedicated on the basketball court.

Nick Young has also been demonized on the Wizards' bad team. It is said that he has a poisonous style of play, but after Arenas holds the gun, someone on the outside always has to stand up and attack, and he is the best choice.

He once said that if he gave more shots, he could be like Kobe. It's not that he really wants to make so many shots or rush to make shots, but this guy is a Komi, or a relatively second kind, and he regards Kobe Bryant as his goal, and his tone is too big. Everyone knows that his shooting percentage is not high, he is a little worse than Ellis, and he is inferior to Kobe Bryant in all aspects.

In the Wizards, the real black sheep is Arenas, and as a leader, he likes to form cliques and turn the locker room into a gangster stronghold. In addition, the team has been rotten, the players are not in a high mood, and the fighting spirit is lacking, which has led to the poor situation of the Wizards in many ways. Just changed the environment, and the two immediately became honest. They didn't want to disturb the locker room with their not strong aura, and Zhou Xuan let them go just a matter of words. gone, and the chance of a championship is gone.

Contrary to the Knicks' boom, the 76ers are a bit of a broken jar.

Although they beat the Nuggets in the opener and got off to a good start, the management was not happy because they were cheated by the Lakers.

Before the start of the season, 76ers general manager Rio confirmed to the media that the return of center Andrew Bynum will be delayed indefinitely, and overturned all previous return schedules. Only Bynum's own physical condition can give a concrete answer to the timing of his comeback.

Del Rio added: "We know that signing Bynum is risky and it's frustrating that Bynum's MRI results are very different now than they were shown at the time of the trade. ”

Last week, ESPN media reported that Bynum had bowled and aggravated his knee injury while recuperating, which made Bynum's comeback time a hot topic.

"Dr. J" Irving is a legend in the history of the 76ers, and even though he has been out of the league for many years, he still cares about the performance of his old club. In a recent interview with the American media, Dr. J secretly criticized the Lakers for letting the 76ers fall for it and selling a damaged item to the 76ers. Apparently the goods he was talking about were Bynum.

Interestingly, when substitute center Hawes came out on the back in the last game, some fans chanted "MVP" at him, which was more of a caricature to management, who thought the 76ers didn't need Bynum at all.

For Bynum, the 76ers also lost their best perimeter defender, Andre Iguodala. The replacement of the "dunk king" Jason Richardson offense is still alive, and the defense is almost a black hole.

On the evening of the 5th, the 76ers focused on small-ball tactics, with the starting center being Lavoy Allen, who is 206CM tall, and the big forward being Thaddeus Young, who is 203CM.

D'Antoni saw the opponent's posture, and soon changed to a small lineup and the 76ers to fight for offense, Parsons started the No. 4 position to replace Scola, and only Chandler was left inside.

In this way, the Knicks can run and shoot offensively, or they can let Chandler cut in the air in positional battles and bully the 76ers' interior with their height.

Lavoy is a strong guy with enough weight to resist Chandler, but he has to switch to defend Zhou Xuan after the block, and when he is out of position, he becomes Thaddeus Young or Turner to supplement the interior line, and there is no way to stop Chandler from attacking under the basket.

Zhou Xuan assisted Chandler to score three times, and suppressed the opponent in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the 76ers encountered the same troubles as the Heat, the Knicks' bench was too fierce, both interior lines could shoot, and the backup guard Malik Waynes was only 185CM tall after blocking and dismantling, and it was difficult to block the opponent's shots.

Nick Young was a little excited today, shooting aggressively and frequently, and doing undercover, otherwise the winner might have to be split at halftime.

In the second half, Zhou Xuan's misplaced attack caused Thaddeus Young to fall into trouble with 4 fouls early and went out to rest. The slow interior "MVP" Hawes played, and the defensive end was casually passed by Zhou Xuan, and the Knicks made a 13-0 shock wave to widen the score.

The 76ers, eager to chase the score, fought back quickly, and Richardson sprained his knee on a fast break and was substituted to rest.

The 76ers trailed by more than 20 points in the final quarter and gave up directly, and both sides sent substitutes to compete. The Knicks were powerful on the inside, and Stephenson also beat Roy Ivey, and the two were not on the same level at all.

The 76ers can only play a bad role this year, and their original best sixth man, Louis Williams, has also left, and the bench does not even have anyone who can lead the offense. Darrell Wright, who was poached from the Warriors, is just a shooter, and the starter may not win against the Knicks off the bench.

The final score was 121-87, and the Knicks won by 34 points. Zhou Xuan played only 30 minutes, scored 11 points and 12 assists, and his efficiency was still amazing.

The Knicks made a domineering start to the world and announced that they are more than capable of defending their title.
