Chapter 550: The Soul of a Son of Man Is Weak!

The Knicks had a restless summer. The Rose trade, the additions of Noah and Cornet Lee, and Jennings' defection have given the Big Apple a color to their roster, and it's time for me to put a smile on my face.

The Knicks finished 32-50 last season and finished 13th in the East and missed the playoffs. After the Zen master took over the team, the team insisted on creating a "triangle attack" tactic, and the old fish Fisher and the acting bishop Rambis, as the Zen master's beloved disciples, did not have a good time coaching on the front line, and the tactics had little effect.

Sending Robin Lopez, trading Rose from the Bulls made the Knicks' outside finally have a decent leader, Calderon's aging is obviously no longer able to carry the banner of the Knicks' guard line, Rose entered the league as the No. 1 pick in 08, took over the task of reviving the Bulls, and the first few years did not disappoint, and he also won the regular season MVP in the 10-11 season, which also made him the youngest MVP in the NBA.

Just when everyone thought Rose's time was coming, and a new era for the Bulls was coming, an injury knocked Rose to 18 floors of hell. In the years that followed, Rose's form has been up and down, with 66 appearances and 66 starts last season, and the data of 16.4+4.7+3.4 is still very competitive.

However, Rose's core position with the Bulls was occupied by Butler due to injury, and Rose's five-year, $89.16 million contract expires after this season, and this trade is also a good time for Rose to preserve his value. The addition of Noah fills the void in Robin Lopez, Noah's points per game average for the Bulls fell last season, and the 4.3+8.8+3.8 data seems to be comprehensive enough, but Noah's injury last season made him play only 29 games, and there is a certain risk of injury to his legs and knees.

As a two-time All-Star and a member of the team, Noah has a good interior strategy and is better than Robin Lopez in defensive rebounding protection.

Courtney Lee, who saw a slight increase in three-point shooting after being traded by the Grizzlies to the Hornets last season, has a career shooting percentage of 44.8% as the Knicks' main quarterback in the new season, and can play a big role in key moments. Second-year rookie Porzingis was an eye-catcher last season, and the offseason's strength in his lower body has made him look stronger this season.

Let's not talk about anything else, on the bright side, this lineup is really imaginative.

Point guard Rose, point guard Cornett Lee, small forward Melon, interior Noaga Porzingis.

Three of the starting lineups are All-Stars, a young player with great talent and potential, and a senior blue-collar player with very good attributes.

The combination is very good, and there is depth, but there is a prerequisite for this squad to play, and that is health issues.

Ross and Noah have to stay healthy, otherwise this lineup will still be in the air and will only look beautiful.

......

This is the home court of the Lakers, and Melon came over to say hello to Xu Xuan before the game.

To be honest, Melons is a little envious of the current Xu Xuan...... There seemed to be still in his mind the immature appearance of Xu Xuan when he first entered the alliance, but it was this immature appearance that he had already obtained what he had longed for in his life and had not obtained.

Xu Xuan also hugged Big Brother.

When he was in the Knicks before, Gua Ge was still very good to him, and Gua Ge also taught him back skills, but now he uses it less, or it is integrated into Xu Xuan and Kobe's backs.

From Xu Xuan's point of view, Brother Gua, who is 32 years old this year, looks a little vicissitudes.

32 years old is actually not too big, compared to James, who is also 32 years old this year, I look like I am ten years older now.

"Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Xu."

The two hugged cordially, and Xu Xuan patted the melon's back: "How are you doing?" ”

"Not bad." Melon smiled, then turned his head to the bench and smiled: "At least the 'master' on the head is gone now." ”

"Hahahaha"

Xu Xuan couldn't help but smile, "Camero, if your words are heard by Phil, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat." ”

"I'm afraid of him?"

Melon sneered disdainfully: "Don't say that he is opened now, but he is not opened, I was afraid of him?" ”

"That's right." Xu Xuan smiled and nodded.

The outside world is speculating about the relationship between Melon and the old Zen master, some say that "Maxima meets Bole", and some say that "old and dead do not get along".

In reality, this is not the case.

The relationship between the melon and the old Zen master before was probably the kind of "well water does not interfere with river water", which was very plain, but there was no saber rattling.

After chatting for a while, the two separated to warm up.

From afar, Xu Xuan also said hello to Rose.

At 7 p.m., the game officially began.

The starting lists of both sides are shown on the big screen.

On the Lakers' side, it was Xu Xuan, Russell, Ingram, Randle and Yi Jianlian who were regular starters.

On the Knicks' side, Rose, Konett Lee, Melon, Noah and Porzingis.

Jumping ball session.

Porzingis, a 221-tall young player from Latvia, picked up the ball and won the first offense for the Knicks.

Rose dribbled across half court.

The first attack directly hit the ball and killed it inside-

The Lakers arranged a three-man joint defense on the Rose line, but Rose still ignored it, and killed it directly after a jump-

Rose's style of play is very tough, even if he loses his proud starting speed and impact power after an injury, Rose still plays very crisply!

The slightly pursed lips and unwavering eyes seem to tell everyone that he is still the rose that blooms in the bitter cold!

Xu Xuan was passed in one step!

It's not the speed, it's the rhythm and the deceptive feints that are so intense.

Randall stepped in.

He set up his line around the middle of the three-point line at the free throw line.

Rose's eyes were firm, he bent down and sank, and he made a slow motion with his left hand and right hand-

With a rapid shake of his shoulders, Randall's forehead began to sweat.

It's going to be lost......

The next second - Rose shook off and got another chance to break through, and at this time, Yi Jianlian had already stood in a good position on the inside, and Rose didn't go inside, just a little in front of the free throw line, pulled it up and threw it-

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc in the air and fell vertically into the netβ€”Yi Jian made a save!

In the sports channel studio, Yu Jia was amazed by the ball: "This can see Rose's skills, after suffering so much and so many injuries, the movements are still so smooth and perfect, which is incredible." ”

"It's still a little different." Zhang Li nodded and took over the conversation: "The current Rose is still a little different from the Rose in the MVP period.

As the former MVP, you see that the current Rose has gradually faded away from the ups and downs, Rose's current basketball moves basically do not have any fancy things, it can really be said to be very practical, there are no gorgeous and complex moves, which means that all of Rose's moves are very simple, which is why Rose has a lot of imitators.

Rose's action, a simple summary is, first fully mobilize the defender's center of gravity, and then shoot, or fully mobilize the defender's center of gravity, choose to go to the basket or break to teammates, one move and one style, all can see how unpretentious Rose's actions are, and most importantly, Rose's style of play gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Rose's movements made me feel a different kind of beauty, although Rose does not have the speed of the past, but now Rose is definitely the number one point guard in the league. ”

2-0, the Knicks took the lead.

The Lakers send a baseline shot.

Xu Xuan advances with the ball.

Come to the top of the arc.

Xu Xuan looked at Rose in front of him.

Gesturing and asking to pull away.

The Lakers skillfully tugged at the Knicks defense.

The Lakers' role players have their own set of tricks for pulling away from defense.

This is a necessary skill for players other than Xu Xuan, without which the Lakers can't get along.

Xu Xuan, don't cover up.

At the top of the arc, Xu Xuan dribbled and faced Rose's defense with open hands, feigning to break through from the right side.

Rose's defensive awareness was not too good, and his center of gravity immediately shifted to the right.

Xu Xuan changed direction in front of his body by a small margin.

Convert dribblers.

Another gesture to break to the left.

Rose hurriedly shifted his weight to the left.

But it's already slow.

Xu Xuan has finished the next action.

Perform a simple retreat.

Jumping up is a domineering three-point back!

"Huh!"

The crisp sound of the ball piercing the net made Xu Xuan know that he felt good today.

2 to 3.

"Damn!"

Rose let out a low roar from the depths of his heart.

This defense fully showed that he was not only inferior to Xu Xuan in height, but also unable to keep up with Xu Xuan in speed.

If this was before he was injured, even if Xu Xuan shook off the first step, he would be able to catch up with him in the second step, but now, he has more than enough heart and less strength.

Knicks possession.

Melon turned his back against Ingram in the low post and reached for the ball.

Rose thought for a moment, and a split second broke through, attracting the attention of the defense and successfully distributing the ball to the melon.

The melon catches the ball.

Turning around, he raised the ball above his head with both hands, and looked at Ingram with his hands on his waist, "Boy, the posture is good, but the strength is a little worse!" ”

Melon smiled, and before Ingram could respond, he immediately pulled out one by one-

Ingram jumped, but it didn't workβ€”

His core strength is indeed more than a step worse than that of melons-

On top of Ingram's head, Melon hit the Nets with a dry pull-up jumper!

4 to 3!

"The Knicks started well, two shots and two hits." Yu Jia said.

Zhang Li nodded: "Their lineup, I have never doubted the scoring problem, Rose, Melon, Konett, Porzingis...... They are all good scorers. ”

Noah was not mentioned because Noah averaged only 4.3 points per game last season, and in fact, Noah was also a double-double per game at his peak.

"Boy, didn't Xu tell you how to prevent me?" When retreating, Melon said lightly.

Ingram ran with his head bored, "Xu only told me to be careful of Rose, who are you?" ”

Who am I?

The melon was stunned for a moment...... After playing for so many years, it is the first time that a rookie has said "which one are you......

This soul fades......

Not the son of man!

The Lakers failed to attack this time.

Russell cut into the bottom corner to catch the ball and made a layup, and was directly fanned by Rose with a hot pot hat, and grabbed the rebound for the second time, but was still fanned away...... was slapped twice in a row, and Russell was about to become a deep boudoir......

But Rose didn't care about this, and after the second cap dropped, he grabbed the rebound -

Fast break in the front court, a dragon directly to the front court, and score a layup.

6 to 3.

In just over 1 minute, Rose scored 4 points and 1 assist, and all the Knicks' scores were related to him, which was amazing!

Is it so scary to be injured? Wouldn't you be invincible if you didn't get hurt?!

This is Russell's most intuitive feeling.

Russell looked back at Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan didn't say anything, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the boss expected it......

Actually, Xu Xuan expected a fart.

But in the bottom of his heart, he never gave up the importance of Rose.

If this guy is not injured, how can there be any thick eyebrows and letter brothers?

It's time to squeeze out James and ascend to the throne......

Strictly speaking, Ross is the person who is most qualified as a "prince".

Xu Xuan advances with the ball.

The ball didn't find a teammate first, and a simple screen passed Konett Lee before choosing to go to the basket.

In the face of the impact of the tank, Noah on the inside line did not coax, and directly spread his wings with a big peng.

Although there was no hat to Xu Xuan, it gave him enough interference for his layup.

"Boom"

Xu Xuan made a layup.

Cornett snapped off the rebound next to Noah.

Accelerate in situ.

Two-on-three in the frontcourt.

Cornett Lee and Rose raced through halftime.

Cornett Lee passes the ball to Rose at the free-throw line.

Rose took advantage of the fact that the Lakers' center was not yet in position, and made a simple footstep rhythm adjustment on the spot.

Directly ignoring Russell's interference.

Pull up strongly and lean back to send the ball.

Standard shots, fast and general offensive and defensive transitions soar out of the perfect arc.

"Huh!"

At 8-3, the Knicks opened the game by extending their lead to five points.

"Rose fights like this, it's really a bit of the flavor of his peak, nostalgic, it's a little nostalgic." Yu Jia closed her eyes and was in a trance, and her memories seemed to go back to the year when the roses bloomed, "This kind of Rose is really impressive, if it weren't for those injuries, if this is a healthy Rose now, then what this alliance would be like." ”

"Rose has really performed well since coming to the Knicks, I looked at his technical statistics, the first 23 games, only two games were missing, averaging 16.6 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds per game, shooting 43.1% from the field, 37.8% from three-point range, and averaging 0.8 blocks per game...... Not to mention the past, even now, this data is worthy of his worth. Zhang Li said with emotion.

Lakers offense.

But after the opening, the Lakers' side didn't seem to feel too good.

Xu Xuan broke through the ball this time to give Russell three points, and Russell missed the empty three-point shot.

But fortunately, looking back, I hit the iron in the middle distance, and the score was still 8-3, and it was not further expanded.
