Chapter 210: The Path to Leadership

Last year, Sun Yi joined the long-lost New York Giants as a tanhua, and his first career game was against the Miami Heat, who missed him in the draft. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

A year later, when the newcomer to China had become the rookie king of the league, one of the best players in NBA history in his rookie season. His first stop of the new season is still against the Heat, but this time it is on the road.

Every NBA team is desperate to get off to a good start to the new season, and the Knicks are no exception. They arrived in the famous South Coast resort of Miami on the afternoon of October 27, the day before the race. As soon as they got off the plane, the coaching staff took the players to the pre-booked training facility to seize all the time to prepare for tomorrow's first game of the season.

Thanks to Tyson. Chandler is recovering from an injury, and veteran McDyes, who will be the Knicks' main defender on the inside. After two preseason run-ins, it looks like it's working pretty well.

But tomorrow's opponent is the Heat, who have the league's number one scorer Wade, and no one in the Knicks will be careless because of the easy wins in the two warm-up games.

The training session was mainly led by Coach Voy and focused on how to deal with the opponent's breakthrough. The new Knicks defensive coach specially arranged for Sun Yi to simulate the Flash. Miller, Afralo, Wilson. Chandler, David. Lee, McDyce formed the main lineup.

Although Sun Yi is not as physically strong as Wade, 40% of his points last season came from breakthroughs. It should be said that the breakthrough ability of the Chinese guy is not much worse than that of the Flash.

Moreover, everyone knows that there is a star whistle and a rookie whistle in the NBA refereeing world. Last year was Sun Yi's first season in the league, and there were many situations in the game where defensive fouls could be awarded, and the referees would often ignore them because you were a rookie.

To get back to the point, although the Knicks Chinese guy is different from the Heat's number one star in terms of breaking through, both of them are extremely well-rounded guard players, who can shoot and pass the ball.

Wade's outburst alone, the coaching staff is not worried. I'm afraid that the Flash will use the breakthrough to cause chaos in his own defense. So that the home team can achieve more blossoms, like Beasley, O'Neal Jr. and Daquin with good three-point points. Cook is a guy who is very good at scoring. Once these players are allowed to find their groove in the game, a rout is inevitable.

In the process of playing Wade, Sun Yi simulated almost entirely in the state of an official game. He knows very well that if he treats this as an ordinary training session, then the Knicks will suffer in tomorrow's game.

Head coach D'Antoni, who stood on the sidelines most of the time and observed, saw that the Chinese guys that the team focused on cultivating, showed no mercy in the face of a group of teammates who had a good relationship with him, and single-handedly stirred up the defense of the main lineup. The mustache is not angry but happy, and it seems that the previous conversation between the two worked well.

With Richardson's departure, the position of Captain Knicks is vacant. Originally, D'Antoni was going to let the young Chinese guy take the position, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the other party. Moreover, this little guy actually proposed a candidate that the Knicks coach didn't expect. Antonio. McDyes, a veteran who has played for the Knicks, is indeed the most suitable candidate at the moment.

Although the captaincy was pushed away by the cunning Chinese guy, the burden on his shoulders was no less than that. D'Antoni asked Sun Yi to learn to be the leader of this team in addition to playing at his own level in the new season. Whether on the pitch or in the locker room.

What the mustache didn't expect was that the Dongfang guy, who had just been ousted as the captain, agreed to his request very happily. Also, this kind of treatment is equivalent to unlimited firing rights in the game, which is coveted by countless NBA players. But only if you have the ability.

Sun Yi's performance in today's training session has already shown D'Antoni the young man's determination to become the leader of the team. This is an honor, but also a heavy responsibility.

The main lineup defensive line, under the constant adjustment of Coach Voy. has gradually controlled the many negative impacts brought about by the sharp breakthrough of the Chinese guy. The players' awareness of complementing and assisting in defense has gradually become tacit under the impact of the opponent again and again.

It seems that the New York giants, who have regrouped for the new season, have found a way to beat their opponents.

……

"The Miami Heat chose Mike last summer. Beasley, was considered a very unwise decision. Now that you're an All-Star and the league's Rookie of the Year, what do you want to do with Pat. Did Riley say that? ā€

"No, what you're saying doesn't bother my life. Now, I'm having a great time with the Knicks. ā€

"Dwayne was the league's leading scorer last year, will you play against him today?"

"The finals in '06 have proven that he is a great player. Dwayne is one of my constant targets in this league. Today's game is very important for both teams and if the coach has that kind of arrangement, I will be more than happy to accept this challenge. ā€

"What are the Knicks' goals for this year?"

"Win all the games you can."

……

The Chinese guy who warmed up before the game and was surrounded by reporters, while affirming the strength of the opponent, did not forget to show the team's ambition for the new season.

Before the start of the game, the core defenders of the two teams looked at each other in the air, and their fierce gazes rubbed countless sparks in the air......

Don't get me wrong, the two are just using this way to express their determination to win this game. If you want to say that Sun Yi's NBA experience of more than a year, which superstar in the league is more familiar. In addition to Yao Ming, the eldest brother of the national team, there is Wade, the Heat Flash.

The two played each other in the Olympic finals, Sun Yi's NBA debut hug was also given by Wade, and the two worked together at the All-Star Rookie Challenge, leading the rookie team to a record-breaking victory over the sophomore team. Although the Chinese teenager has always been a little hesitant about the Heat's original choice, the personal relationship with Wade is still very good.

As is customary, the starting lineups of both sides today will be introduced to you first.

Home team Miami Heat: Money, Wade, Dai Quian. Cook, Mike. Beasley, O'Neal Jr.

Thanks to Pat. Riley has his eye on Chris, the Raptors core whose contract expires next year. Bosh, the Heat, who pursued a monetary austerity strategy this summer, missed out on Turkey's all-around small forward Turkoglou. So much so that the team has no one available in the small forward position. In desperation, he had to use the 1.96-meter-tall swingman Cook on top. As a result, the outside combination that the Heat discharged today will lose a lot to their opponents in terms of height alone.

The starting lineup on the Knicks' side is exactly the same as in the preseason, with Sun Yi, Afralo, Wilson. Chandler, David. Lee, Mike Dyce.

……

The first game of the new season made the attendance at the American Airlines Arena in Miami look very good. However, every time Sun Yi comes here to play, he feels that the atmosphere of this stadium is less fanatical and more leisurely than that of Detroit, Philadelphia, and Boston.

With the referee throwing up the basketball, it was swept away by O'Neal Jr., who had the advantage in height. The Chinese guy, who was a little distracted, immediately focused on the game.

A familiar face, but the expression on it is very rich. Mario, who averaged 10 points, 5 assists and 2 steals per game last season. Money, named to the rookie second team. This kind of performance has been rated as one of the most underrated rookies by many media.

As a powerful player, the opponent that Chanmos least wanted to see appeared in front of him again today. The handsome and jealous Chinese guy averaged 32 points per game in four meetings between the two last season. You're capable, it's normal that I can't stop you. What makes Chanmos unbearable the most is that the opponent will always laugh and tease himself after every score.

In fact, Sun Yi belongs to the kind of player who does more and talks less in the game, but every time he sees the innocent expression on his face and his dripping eyes, he can't control his humor.

"The last ball defense was good, and it was almost broken by you."

"Mario, although I know you admire me, you can't let me swipe the block stats so obviously, and people will think that we are match-fixing. Of course, I know you mean it, but it's not good, really. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

All kinds of ridicule annoyed the Heat point guards, and ten percent of the original skills were so troubled by the other party that they couldn't even play sixty percent.

After a summer of hard training, Moss has improved a lot of self-feeling. When I met my bitter master again today, I could only secretly make up my mind in my heart: Today, no matter what, I can't let this Chinese kid get more than 30 points on his head in front of more than 20,000 Heat fans.

From college to the NBA, the Heat point guards, who have suffered a lot on the other side, have learned to play with humility in the face of invincible opponents.

When Chammos hit a three-pointer on the head of the Knicks' No. 8 shortly after the start of the first quarter, the Heat point guard didn't realize it was the first time he had made a long-range shot in an official game against the opposing team's defense.

When Chanmos came to his senses, he had to desperately hold back the ecstasy. Because he is afraid that the slightest joy will attract the revenge of the Chinese guy.

"Mario, are you alright? Would you like to show your team doctor? ā€

Sun Yi, who had a keen eye, had already seen the changes in the expression on the other party's face. Facing opponents of this level, the Chinese guy, who has been promoted to the league's top player, has no interest in retaliating at all.

How to lead the team to a victory from the American Airlines Center Arena is what Sun Yi is most concerned about at present.

……

Since the Flash won the league's leading scoring title last season, Sun Yi can clearly feel that the desire of the Heat's number one star to score has dropped a lot compared to last year's meeting.

He can understand Wade's change, and there is no team in the league that can succeed with the individual singles of the stars on the team. Jordan, who brushed a triple-double, can't do it, and neither can Kobe, who scored 81 points in a single game.

The number one star of the Heat team hopes to use his all-round ability to bring out the potential of his teammates. Especially, BE-EASY who is always distracted on the field.

The home team attacked, and the ball spun around the perimeter and came into Wade's hands. In the face of Afflalo's marking, the Flash chose to force a breakthrough, although he successfully entered the restricted area, but the timely defense of veteran Mike Days made the Heat's number one star in a dilemma.

I saw a very hidden ground pass from the Flash, and accurately found Beasley who was receiving at a high post of 45 degrees on the left side. Face David. Lee's defense one step away, the Heat's No. 6 player directly received the ball and shot.

Swish!

The fluttering white mesh flowers once again bear witness to Beasley's soft touch. This is already his 11th point in the first quarter, and he averaged just over 14 points per game in his rookie season.

Sitting in the audience was Heat President Pat Brown. Riley, seeing this talented player who was ready to give up, couldn't help but purse his lips in embarrassment when he saw this talented player who was ready to give up today.

21 to 17!

At the break, the home team led by four points.

Sun Yi, who was wiping his sweat with a towel on the bench, couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of his performance just now. The Knicks youngster, who wants to take on more responsibility, has not yet figured out how he, as the team's point guard, should help the team.

This Chinese guy, who is known as a superstar in the future, has not yet found his own way to lead from the performance of the first quarter.

He played 9 minutes, shooting 2 of 4 and assisting David respectively. Lee and Chandler hit mid-range shots. 5 points and 2 assists, such a statistic is indeed a bit shabby for a superstar who played in his rookie season and could match Jordan's stats.

Head coach D'Antoni turned his attention to the pitch after glancing at the Chinese boy who was sitting on the bench silently.

If you want to become a true leader, you can only rely on your own talent and hard work.

by Andrey. Miller, Shannon. The rotation lineup composed of Brown, Sun Yue, Harrington, and Milicic is obviously more than a notch stronger than the home team's patchwork bench lineup.

Especially in the league, the old Miller, who is about to become a master, dismantles the opponent's defense line by himself. Sometimes he assists his teammates with clever passes, and sometimes he sneaks under the basket to get a good shot.

The wonderful performance of his teammates made the young Chinese teenager forget his troubles for the time being. He was like a water cooler player, excitedly waving the towel in his hand on the sidelines.

32 to 28!

By the time Wade reappeared in the second quarter, the Knicks were already in the lead.

As the core of the team, the Flash did not mean to blame his teammates at all, but instead sent his own comfort. Back in the game, the Heat's number one star faced an unfavorable situation, frequently resorting to the league's own obscurity, attacking the opponent's impregnable defense.

It's a pity that the current Knicks are no longer the weak team in the East that ranked last season in defensive efficiency at the bottom of the league.

The new defensive coach has developed a defensive system that is not only aggressive, but also flexible, and the entire Knicks defense can not only press out, but also quickly shrink back.

51 to 40!

The visiting team, which used excellent team defense and played multiple efficient fast breaks, led the Miami Heat by 11 points at the end of the second quarter. (To be continued.) )
