"I don't have anything to worry about, it's just a normal game for me, it's as simple as that"

Pre-game interview, Yi Jianlian's first game as a Knicks player was naturally focused on by a lot of media, but Yi Jianlian, who has experienced a lot of big scenes, naturally will not be nervous about such a day, for him, the Knicks' debut is no different from so many games he has played in the past, it is just the regular season: "I am familiar with the Celtics, I have never lost to them in my three-year career, and this time will not be an exception"

And this game is against the Celtics, Yi Jianlian is too familiar with this team, in every game he has met with the Celtics in the past three years, the final winner is him and the Bucks, the only time the Bucks lost, Yi Jianlian was also absent due to injury.

"However, the Knicks' record against the Celtics in the past is not optimistic, only 1 win and 11 losses, and in recent seasons, in the regular season, the Knicks have met the Celtics and the Celtics have met the Bucks, and they have all been beaten unilaterally!"

"And at the beginning of the season, we had a defeat on the road, and if you count this defeat, we have lost seven in a row against the Celtics in the regular season!"

"What's more important is that we're sixth in the East and they're third in the East, so it's a bit early to tell, but if we lose this game, it's going to be a big morale blow to us when we meet them in the playoffs."

"Anyway, this game is very important, you have to win!"

Xiao Si and Yi Jianlian walked in the players' tunnel one after the other, and Xiao Si quickly talked about some past grievances between the Knicks and the Celtics.

Yi Jianlian listened to Xiao Si's words, and felt that this game seemed to be more important to the Knicks than his debut!

But......

"Amare, you're wrong about something!"

Yi Jianlian spoke, and Xiao Si was slightly stunned.

"We can't just qualify as sixth in the East!"

"Ha~" Xiao Si understood Yi Jianlian's words and laughed, indeed! Now that Yi Jianlian has joined, it would be too embarrassing for them to only qualify with the sixth place in the East.

"But a seven-game losing streak has to end, and I don't want Celtic to be my nemesis, which has never happened in my career!"

"Let's welcome the new owner of this city, the MVP of the new regular season, Yi ~ Jian ~ Lian!"

The audience at Madison Square Garden suddenly let out a deafening cheer as the DJ shouted Yi Jianlian's name, and every Knicks fan used their best strength to roar and shout the loudest.

This was Yi Jianlian's first appearance at the Knicks' home court, and every New York fan wanted to impress him and make him feel welcomed by the New York fans.

Yi Jianlian waved his arms and walked out of the players' tunnel, and followed the other players who had come out of the Knicks team along the way to interact happily, this scene felt so wonderful in the eyes of Knicks fans!

"Yi, look here, look here, welcome, easy!"

When Yi Jianlian walked to the center of the court to interact with the fans, an old man wearing a Knicks hat and old-fashioned glasses frames in the audience on the sidelines was waving his arms excitedly, trying to attract Yi Jianlian's attention.

This guy is a diehard representative of the Knicks, he often disregards his status as a big director for the Knicks, and interferes with opponents with all kinds of abuse, almost every night he appears on the sidelines, he does it.

Spike has persevered for so many years, witnessed every rise and fall of the Knicks, and this season is his most comfortable season in the last six years, because this season the Knicks have re-entered the Eastern Conference playoff powerhouse, and he can happily watch the whole game a lot more.

It's just that all these joys this season can't compare to his excitement in the past few days, and when he knew that Yi Jianlian was about to join the Knicks, he sent three tweets in a row to express his excitement.

"Easy, easy, easy!"

And at this moment, the moment Yi Jianlian came out of the players' tunnel waving his arms from the tunnel, Spike Lee was completely crazy, and he kept shouting Yi Jianlian's name, like the most devout believer.

Yi Jianlian finally noticed this terrible voice, and walked towards Spike Lee with a smile, and Spike Lee, who was yelling, was also hesitant when he saw Yi Jianlian walking towards him, as if he had returned to his first love and saw the girl he liked walking towards him, and he didn't know how to talk to Yi Jianlian for a while.

"Big director, don't shout, your voice is broken, you won't be able to direct the play then!"

"Hahahaha!"

Yi Jianlian shouted at him with a grin, and the content of what he said made the fans sitting next to Spike Lee laugh.

"No, stop shouting!"

Spike Lee nodded stunned, Yi Jianlian was joking with him, he took it seriously! This funny little old man!

"Hahaha!" The fans sitting next to him laughed again, they really didn't see Spike Lee like that.

Spike doesn't care what they're laughing at, at least he's in a good mood right now!

The home player's appearance ceremony ended after Xiao Si played, compared to the cheers for Yi Jianlian, Xiao Si received a lot less shouts, but Xiao Si didn't pay attention to these after talking to Yi Jianlian last night, on the contrary, he also sighed for Yi Jianlian's popularity in New York: "Yi, your popularity is really high!" ”

You must know that the fans in New York are known as the most picky fans in the world, and Yi Jianlian can get such cheers before he has even played a game, and it is really hard to imagine what kind of cheers they will give when Yi Jianlian plays a brilliant performance in the future.

The two sides continued to warm up, and Yi Jianlian also took advantage of this gap to say hello to "Big Shark" O'Neal. The latter entered the Celtics this season, and also became another player in NBA history who played for the Lakers and Celtics.

"Easy, this Knicks jersey is perfect for you! Seriously, I also hate stingy bosses, which is why I joined the Lakers back then! ”

O'Neal became a restricted free agent in 96, and the Lakers sent a 120 million contract, but the owner of the Magic team was reluctant to pay the money and did not choose to match, and as a result, he gave the Lakers a triple championship!
