With the Knicks and Heat remaining two minutes remaining, the two teams entered the battle stage. The sudden increase in defensive intensity has caused the success rate of both sides to drop suddenly.

First, Wade's mid-range jumper was missed by Sun Yi's interference, and then, the No. 8 rookie of the Knicks, who was about to break into the interior to cause damage, was fanned out of the bottom line by the Flash who played a real fire, and ate the first block of his NBA career......

……

102-101, the home team's slight lead, made the fans nervous. The managers of the two teams, who have nothing to do, can only pray in their hearts for good luck.

When everyone thought that Sun Yi and Wade's next performance would determine the outcome of the game, an unexpected player suddenly broke out.

Al. Harrington, a cancer that the head coach stubbornly left on the court, finally did not disappoint D'Antoni, who made his debut as a Knicks coach.

After a long-range two-point hit by teammate Sun Yi, he was lucky to pick up the ball while standing near the three-point line. With Haslem, who was defending himself, just getting inside for a rebound, Harrington got an unexpected shot.

Swish! Stepping back beyond the three-point line, he opened his hands and hit a long-range shot that hit the crucial shot.

105 to 101!

The away team, which was eager to chase points, immediately began to counterattack under the leadership of Wade.

Sun Yi, who had no touch in the offense, had to put all his energy into defending the core players of the Heat.

After trying a few times, the Flash found it difficult to beat the Chinese guy in front of him with his poor game form today. After a couple of successive passes, the ball found its way to Marion near the left touchline. With little time left in the round, 'Gibbon' had to settle for a reluctant shot.

The game was silent and got 16 points and 9 rebounds from David. Lee, after receiving this defensive rebound, allowed himself to get a double-double.

The Knicks' offense was still stumbling next. Under the oppressive defense of the opponent, the outside players did not have a chance to shoot at all. In the end, the ball was passed by Sun Yi to Harrington, who had just hit the key three points.

I saw that this player with a somewhat withdrawn personality, in the face of Haslem's very good defense, was stunned and forced to turn around and jump shot. To the devastation of all the away players, he hit the bullseye again.

107 to 101! With less than 30 seconds left, the Miami Heat, who are six points behind, are powerless.

In the end, the Knicks, who were playing at home, won their first win of the season in a thrilling way.

Although Sun Yi felt average, he still got 22 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals in 34 minutes of playing time.

In this 'battle of the list of eyes and flowers', which has been hyped by the media for a long time before the game, there have been many unexpected episodes. Starting from the scene-stealing of parallel Milicic in '03, followed by Beasley's abnormal play, the direct confrontation between Sun Yi and Wade in the fourth quarter, and then the sudden outburst in Harrington's final moments......

"Sun, you achieved a triple-double feat in the first NBA game, how do you feel at this time?" Doris Murphy, a well-known live correspondent for ESPN TV. Burke, caught the Chinese rookie who was about to leave the interview.

Sun Yi, who finished the game, took off the blue hairband on his forehead, and said into the microphone handed by the opponent: "This game is very difficult, it doesn't matter what kind of data I get, the best result is for the team to win." ”

"Okay, would you like to evaluate your teammates?"

"Excellent! BIGQ, Darko, David, Wells, etc., they all contributed immensely to the team on both ends of the floor, and of course Al who scored the last five points. Although he was not happy with Harrington's style of play, Sun Yi had to mention the biggest contributor to the team's victory today.

"Okay, I wish the Knicks better and better this season." As an authentic New Yorker, Doris' blessings are definitely sincere.

……

"Hey! Buddy! ”

Sun Yi, who had just finished the interview task and was about to leave the scene, was stopped by a voice from behind him.

Turning around, Wade, the number one star of the Heat, actually walked towards him. The other party's immediate action made Sun Yi not expect it at all.

After giving the Chinese rookie a friendly hug, the Flash smiled and said in the other's ear, "Good play, man." ”

Sun Yi, who was in a state of blindfolding, didn't know what kind of reaction he should make for a while. After playing in the NCAA for two years, he has never been in the habit of hugging his opponent after a game.

Everyone knows that the NBA is a business circle, and players are not only competing with each other, but they are also collaborators. Many stars are playing to the death on the field, but as soon as the game is over, they should pick up the girls together, and drink together. Except, of course, for the sworn enemy team.

"Haha! Looks like you're not used to it. Seeing the other party's overwhelmed look, Wade smiled and patted it and continued: "It's normal to hug and greet the players you admire after the game. Rookie, you're lucky today, but I'll be waiting for you in Miami! ”

Sun Yi didn't expect that the cheek man with a strong style on the field turned out to be such an easy guy to get along with. "Okay, I've heard that Miami has a nice beach view, and I've always wanted to see it."

"No problem, I don't mind leading you up and down with a happy mood after the team wins."

"Okay, we'll see!"

……

After such a delay, when Sun Yi returned to the team's locker room, a large number of media reporters had already surrounded the entire room. A lot of people were around Harrington, buzzing and asking questions.

When someone found out that the Knicks had returned to the locker room, a large group of people immediately turned to the Chinese guy who had a triple-double in this game.

Jarich, who had been sitting in the corner, showed a standard sinister smile when he saw the uncertain look on Harrington's face.

Interviewed after the game, Sun Yi has long been used to it. But this is the first time he has experienced such a high-intensity group visit. After dealing with the uncrowned kings, I happened to see Helen interviewing Richardson on the other side of the room.

After that unexpected encounter, he could clearly feel that the girl was deliberately keeping a distance between the two. The feeling of both happiness and loss in his heart made Sun Yi constantly remind himself that he must be responsible for his lovely girlfriend Tamara.

At the regular press conference after the game, when many reporters asked the new coach of the Heat team about the huge contrast between the performance of the list and the flower in this game, Spoelstra, who was depressed after losing the game, had to say that Beasley was in good shape, but it still needed a process of adaptation.

Although Pat Riley has the final say on the Heat's affairs, the two have the same opinion on this summer's draft. After all, two perimeter players who desperately need the ball are partnered together, and there is no successful example in NBA history.

The steps of the victors always seem a little late.

D'Antoni slowly entered the venue with the Knicks Future Core, a Chinese guy in a white suit with a dark blue shirt inside, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.

In response to reporters' questions, D'Antoni answered very succinctly. Roughly speaking, the team's victory is the result of the efforts of each player, the power of the fans in attendance, and so on.

The Knicks coach, who completed his tasks in three or two times, left the stage of the press conference to the Chinese rookies that he values very much.

"Sun, first of all, congratulations on getting the first triple-double of your career." A Sports Illustrated reporter was given the first chance to ask a question. "In the games that have ended, you are ranked first among all rookies in points, rebounds, assists, and steals, are you determined to win the Rookie of the Year honor?"

Thanks to this information-age benefit, all journalists were given game data for this year's high-pick rookies. Among them, the champion show Derek. Rose played 31 minutes and finished with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals. Beasley played in 27 quarterbacks and finished with nine points and three rebounds on 4-of-14 shooting.

Westbrook, who was drafted by the Thunder with the fourth pick, played only 22 minutes, but he was very efficient with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. And Durant, the team's number one star, was in poor form for some reason, scoring only 12 points.

Kevin with the fifth pick. Love was the most efficient, shooting 5-of-8 in 19 minutes, scoring 12 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

And O.J. Mayo, who became famous at a young age, was the worst high-expected rookie, and in the game against the Rockets, this much-valued outside player with the Grizzlies scored just 10 points on 5-of-20 shooting, including 0-of-7 three-pointers.

In the face of reporters' questions, Sun Yi replied unhurriedly: "There are 82 games in the NBA's regular season, and I only completed one of them today. While the Rookie of the Year award is tempting, it seems a bit early to talk about it. ”

"Mike. Jordan had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in his NBA debut, and statistically, you've surpassed the basketball gods of your time. What would you like to say about the senior whom Knicks fans hate and fear? This question from the New York Times reporter gave Sun Yi a big problem.

"Haha! If I can get six championship rings one day, it's not too late to talk about it. ”

D'Antoni, who has always sweated for his subordinates, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this. Little one, enough chicken thief!

……

The next day, when a lot of the American media was discussing the performance of the teams in their season debuts. The Chinese counterparts on the other side of the ocean did their best to portray Sun Yi's record-breaking debut as a great historical event.

At the same time, the Chinese rookie, who is the focus of media discussion, is nervously preparing with his teammates in the team's training gym for tomorrow's away game against Philadelphia 76.

The 76ers who have entered the post-Iverson era, although they are no longer as brave as they used to be, their results in the past two years have been relatively stable. In Andrey. Iguodala and Elton. Under Brand's leadership, the strength is in the upper middle of the Eastern team.

On Oct. 31, as Philadelphia fans in the Wachovia Center Arena celebrated the team's first win of the season, the losing Knicks quickly left the court in frustration.

87 to 116, the glaring score on the scoreboard, shows the huge disparity in the strength of the two teams in this game.

The home team, which has Haitian monster Daimport and All-Star power forward Brand, completely controls the air supremacy in the restricted area at both ends of the pitch. The Chinese youngster, who lost the backcourt rebounding guarantee, is far from reaching Steve. Nashna's level of organization to launch a fast break anytime and anywhere. The Knicks, who can't play a quick offensive and defensive transition, can only face the cruel reality of losing by a big score.

China's Sun Yi played much better in this game than in the previous game, especially after he regained his shooting touch. Facing the experienced Andrey. Miller, who shot 10-of-18 from the field, scored a personal high 26 points, plus four rebounds and five assists. However, on the defensive end, he was played hard by the opponent who did not have a three-point range, using dazzling foot movements.

He shot 8-of-12 from the field, 4-of-4 from the field, and finished with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Miller's efficient play gave the confident Knicks a vivid lesson in recruiting education before the game.

The dense schedule left the disastrous Knicks with no more time to be frustrated. On Nov. 2, their opponent was the Milwaukee Bucks.

The home team, which was in desperate need of a win to boost their momentum, fell very unlucky to the opponent's rare outburst of the whole team. In this game, the Bucks had 6 players score in double figures. Four of them scored more than 16 points. Even Luke, who can't shoot. Richard. Boamot, too, miraculously scored 11 points.

The best player on the Knicks team was David. Lee, with a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds. Next, Sun Yi, who played 36 minutes, scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists on 7-of-16 shooting. But Richardson and Chandler, who had a poor hand, only scored 10 points combined.

In the end, the New York Knicks lost for the first time of the season 86-94.

On November 5, the Knicks, who got three days of rest, ushered in the challenge of the underdog Charlotte Bobcats.

Although Okafor is a good all-round interior player, he is only 2.08 meters tall and can finally breathe a sigh of relief for the home team with weak interior strength.

The Chinese rookie on whom the Knicks have high hopes has also ushered in a new highlight moment of their own.

Facing the visiting team's main point guard Raymond, who is less than 1.85 meters tall. Felton and Sun Yi kept hitting the bullseye with jump shots that opponents couldn't block at all.

A career-high 20 shots also brought a personal scoring record of 31 points. Coupled with the data of 7 rebounds and 8 assists, many New York fans who came to watch the game were addicted. Famous Knicks diehard Spike. Li, after the game, specifically found this Chinese guy and asked for an autograph. It seems that the black director, who is famous in the United States, has become a fan of the Knicks' No. 8 player.

This timely victory can finally give new coach D'Antoni a little breather. (To be continued.) )
