Anyway, when the Knicks' players played, the fans applauded, but when Eddie Curry played, the fans in the audience booed!

Eddie Curry is 213 cm tall, weighs 123 kg, and is about the same size and weight as Bai Xiaofei, he was selected by the Bulls in the first round No. 4 in 2001, in the first four seasons of the Bulls, Curry has been improving every year, averaging 16 points per game in the last year, 5.4 rebounds shooting rate of 54%, has a faint shadow of the inside killer, was once praised by O'Neal as "the best center in the East", as a result, the Knicks recruited Curry with a 6-year $60 million contract, In the first two seasons of the Knicks, Curry was able to play well, and in the second season of the contract, Curry was able to average nearly 20 points per game, but in the third season of the contract, Curry was hit by injuries, and only played 59 games that season, averaging only 13 points per game.

No one thought that this year turned out to be a watershed for Curry, his fragile knee is always not good, and all kinds of injuries frequently wear down Curry's weak will, at the same time, Curry's lazy attributes exploded, and Curry only played ten games in the last two seasons, and only averaged five minutes of playing time per game, and at the same time, Curry's large amount of money in his hand made him unable to resist the tempting world of New York, negative news was frequent, and a once excellent player fell to such a point, it only took two short seasons, In 2009, despite everyone's opposition, Curry resolutely decided to execute a large contract worth tens of millions of dollars in the last year of his contract, which completely blocked the Knicks' way to strengthen and made him the NBA's biggest high-salary and low-energy representative.

In fact, not just tonight, but every night this season, Curry has been the player who booed the most in the audience. Quietly, without saying hello to anyone, Curian walked straight to the bench, basketball is just a job that pays well without effort.

"Now, please give all your applause to the Knicks' energy kid, starting center Ronnie Turyaf from France!"

In 2005, the seventh pick in the second round of the Lakers selected this young man full of energy, Turiav played with great passion, strong desire to perform, strong style, violent dunks, strong blocks, offensive and defensive achievements. During his time with the Lakers, he became the team's No. 1 player, whether it was performing well on the court or cheering on his teammates off the court, he became the Lakers' most morale-boosting player. Due to being diagnosed with a heart attack after the draft, Turyaf signed with the Lakers after surgery and signed with Kobe? Bryant became good friends. In 2008, the Warriors signed Turyaf to a four-year, $17 million contract, and in 2010, Turyaf was traded to the Knicks along with Anthony Randolph and Gazuric in exchange for David Lee, whose defense is the best partner for the strong and weak Smalls!

"Down on the pitch is the team's starting point guard, Kelana Gazuric!"

Gazuric was a player who thought he was ill-fated, he was a leader in high school and college, but he was not selected by any team in the 2005 draft, and he played in the summer league for the Denver Nuggets and the Houston Rockets, but they were all cut, and he had to enter the Development League Fort Worth Flyers, performed well, was drafted by the Golden State Warriors, and then gradually had stable playing time, in 2008, Gazuric received a 3-year, $9 million contract, at this time Gazuric, He has been able to average 14.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 46.4% from the field and 44.8% from three-point range. This season, Gazuric averaged 12 points per game, and his three-point shooting rate exceeded 40%, becoming the most reliable scoring point around Xiao Si.

"The player down there is the team's starting point guard! Raymond Felton from Marion, South Carolina! ”

Hearing Felton's name, the otherwise quiet fans in the stands began to burst into a little applause.

Raymond Felton is the No. 5 rookie in 2005, once shouldered a lot of hope for the Bobcats, but the best season is only 14+7 level, Felton is a point guard who scores first, but has a good ability to organize the offense, on the offensive end he can rely on his strong body to hit the basket, score by himself or attract the opponent to make up for the defense and then assist his own inside score, the performance outside the three-point line is not stable enough, on the defensive end, Felton is a stout and disproportionate stealer, but he is slow on his feet, short in height, and easy to be beaten by tall shooter-type point guards, and last year Felton signed a three-year, $22.68 million contract with New York. Averaging a career-high 15.4 points and 2.6 steals per game this season, along with 2.6 rebounds and a career-low 3.6 assists, playing next to Smalls' powerful interior has given Felton plenty of open opportunities, shooting a career-high 57.7 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from three-point range. All in all, Felton has played less like a point guard and more like a scorer this season.

"Next, let's welcome the small forward from Italy, Danilo Gallinari!"

There were significantly more people applauding in the stands, and the whole stadium began to feel a little louder.

In 2008, Gallinari was selected by the Knicks in the first round No. 6, with great expectations from the Knicks on his shoulders, the rookie's second season has established Gallinari's starting identity, playing an average of 34 minutes per game to score 15 points, Gallinari's offensive means are diverse, breakthroughs, throwing, and mid-range shots are very skillful, but their effects are not as good as his three-point shots, the biggest difference between him and traditional shooters is that he can create scoring opportunities by himself, and his pace is slow on the defensive end, and he will be blown up by a fast small forward, But the defensive awareness is good, and the courage to fight and create physical contact is a rare trait of Italian players.

After introducing Gallinari, the 20,000 players at Madison Square Garden gave a standing ovation because the next player was about to play!

"Now! Let's dedicate all the cheers, the screams, to the next player who will be on the field, a four-time All-League Team! He competed in five All-Stars! He's the best interior player in the league! He's none other than Amare Stoudemire from Raikofels, Florida! ”

The entire Madison Square Garden was boiling, and all the fans did not hesitate to give Stoudemire their own applause, as mentioned earlier, the New York fans are the most rational and demanding fans in the league, and he will only applaud the players who played well in the game, but Stoudemire has not yet played, and he has been treated so favorably, the reason is simple, because Stoudemire has never let them down!

Stoudemire is 210 cm tall and weighs 109 kg, and in 2002, the ninth pick in the first round was taken by the Phoenix Suns, becoming the 16th player in NBA history to jump directly from high school to the NBA, and beat the champion of the year - Yao Ming, won the best rookie of the year, and Stoudemire was in the limelight for a while. Xiao Si is the representative of "violent basketball" in the league, which can be seen from his nickname "Little Overlord", with excellent bounce, fast movement, infinite power, and full explosive power on the offensive end, which can destroy all defenders standing opposite Xiao Si! What's even more terrifying is that the young Xiao Si has been improving, and in recent years, he has also developed offensive skills such as mid-range shooting and small hook hands!

Except for his rookie season and the 2005-2006 season, which only played 3 games due to injury, Stoudemire was able to steadily contribute more than 20 points and 8 rebounds per game, with a combined shooting rate of more than 55%, which is definitely an inside killer.

Last offseason, Stoudemire unsuccessfully asked the Suns for a maximum salary, so he left the Suns who had struggled for eight years, signed a super contract of 100 million for 5 years with the Knicks, and after leaving Nash, Xiaosi did not sink as people imagined, but glowed with stronger combat effectiveness, after coming to the Knicks this season, Xiaosi scored more than 30 points in 9 consecutive games, breaking the team record and becoming the first person in team history! In the 22 long games that Smalls played, he averaged 32 points, 11 rebounds per game and shot more than 50% from the field. No matter which team in the league the Knicks are facing, the Knicks are undoubtedly an offensive powerhouse at the power forward position!

Stoudemire ran all the way out of the locker room aisle with a blank look on his face and high-fived his teammates.

After a moment of hustle and bustle, the race officially begins!

The Hornets' starting lineup is Chris Paul at No. 1, Allen Iverson at No. 2, Trevor Ariza at No. 3, Craig Brightins at No. 4, and Darius Sangueila at No. 5.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is Raymond Felton at No. 1, Kailana Azubuke at No. 2, Danilo Gallinari at No. 3, Amare Stoudemire at No. 4, and Ronnie Turyaf at No. 5.

The gap between the Hornets and Smalls can be seen from the first round of the competition, Sangella and Stoudemire stood in the center circle to pick the ball, as soon as the whistle blew, Stoudemire's knee was like a spring, and the "whoosh" sounded up, Sangella's feet just left the ground, and Stoudemire had already dialed the ball to Felton. The disparity in physical fitness is simply too obvious.

In the first round of the attack, Stoudemire was outside the paint area on the left side, his back pressed Brykins to ask for the ball, Felton passed the ball out, Stoudemire tested Brykins' strength with his back, and suddenly held the ball to the right side, Brykins tightly stuck the position, and at the same time Sangella also put down Turyaf to make up for Stoudemier, Stoudemire was not afraid of the two-person bag at all, the attack was so simple that there was no feint, three steps directly into the three-second zone, jumping, holding the ball high in his right hand, After the jump, Sangeira could only touch Stoudemire's elbow! I saw Stoudemire smash the ball in the hoop through the blockade of Brekins and Sangeira!

One-handed split! Stoudemire splits the slam through Blekins and Sangeira with one hand!

Brightins, who was directly defending Stoudemire, was bounced off the field by the latter's powerful power and inertia!

Simple! Direct! Atrocious!

"Toot toot!"

Whistle blows!

Sanguela thug foul!

Seeing such a tragic and inhumane picture, sitting in the audience, Bai Xiaofei at the end of the bench couldn't help but gasp!

"Little Overlord" really deserves its name!
