Chapter 313: The Worst Fans in the World
After playing the Pistons, the Grizzlies have 2 games left in November, one Knicks and one Suns.
Among them, the game against the Knicks is still away, and this game has attracted much attention, because this game will be the first time that the Kings of New York have returned to Madison Square Garden after joining the Grizzlies, and it is foreseeable that on the day of this game, Madison Square Garden will gather all Knicks fans.
The biggest question is, of course, how the New York fans will welcome Patrick Ewing's return.
"Patrick Ewing is about to return to Madison Square Garden, and the Knicks have had their second season with the Grizzlies, averaging 11.6 points, 13.7 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game in 13 games, and playing at the level of Dpoy (Best Defensive Player) on the defensive end......
"It looks like Patrick Ewing has found his right place with the Grizzlies, but this game, he'll need to face the challenge of his junior, Marcus Camby!"
"After Patrick Ewing left, Marcus Camby started and he also played the best performance of his career so far, averaging 12 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.2 blocks per game, and his performance was not far behind Patrick Ewing......
ESPN's special program brings together experts such as Skip Bayless, Stephen A. Smith, Max Coleman, Dan Dajik, Will Cain, and more, and the content of the program is to preview, analyze, and discuss a certain game.
Basically, in just a few words, you can discuss all the highlights of this game.
For example, the focus of the Grizzlies vs. Knicks, the biggest attraction is naturally Patrick Ewing's return to Madison Square Garden Arena, and the matchup between Patrick Ewing and junior Marcus Camby.
In fact, in the pre-game verbal session, LaGabel, who was traded to the Knicks by the Grizzlies, was the most noisy.
Before the game, he was interviewed by the media and said bluntly: "I am grateful to the Grizzlies for cultivating me, Mr. Qiao Hai is a good coach, if you rank coaches, I think he is the number one coach in the history of the league......"
Having said that, there is no problem at all, it seems that Ragabel is a joe.
But there is always a twist in everything, and Ragabel also came to a twist: "But Mr. Johi's biggest mistake was to trade my ......"
The turning point is here, this season, Ragabel played as a starter in the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy likes this kind of player with a very fighting spirit on the defensive end, and Ragabel has practiced in the Grizzlies for a year, with Chip Engelland, his shooting has also made great progress, and his three-point shooting is accurate, which is considered to have practiced 3D attributes.
On the Grizzlies' side, Maddie was injured, and Michael Reid didn't have the strength to start, but fortunately, Manuginobili broke out, otherwise the hole of the starting point guard would really not be filled.
For Manuginobili, Ragabel is a little disdainful: "Manuginobili's outbreak? It's just that Coach Qiao Hai's tactics are too good, and he hasn't encountered any outstanding defensive players yet, his explosive luck component is too heavy, wait, in the next game, I will let him show his original form! ”
In this way, the duel between Ragabel and Manuginobili has also become a highlight.
Qiao Hai didn't care much about this game, the team was firmly in the first place in the league, and it didn't matter if he lost one or two games in the regular season.
As for the matchup between Patrick Ewing and Marcus Camby, Qiao Hai felt that there was no suspense.
Patrick Ewing after the transformation of Deadwood Spring, the single defense and defense are the top in history, although the offensive end is not at the peak level, in fact, it is not bad, you know, the peak Patrick Ewing's offense can average 28.6 points per game, and the peak 75% of the offense is also stronger than the current center except O'Neal, strictly speaking, this season's Patrick Ewing can compete for the first center.
On the defensive end, Ewing is better than O'Neal, but on the offensive end, O'Neal is much better than Ewing.
Marcus Camby's help defense is good, but the one-on-one top defense is very poor, and for the sake of block data, there will always be a loss of position on the defensive end, on the offensive end, Camby is also a blue-collar player, but his off-ball ability is better, but in this Knicks team, Camby's off-ball ability is useless, because the Knicks don't even have a normal point guard.
And the duel between Manu Ginobili and Ragabel, Qiao Hai didn't care, Ginobili naturally had the possibility of losing, but if he lost, he lost, Qiao Hai didn't care, anyway, Ragabel is also half a Grizzly player, isn't it, there is nothing to say if his own people win his own people......
………………
The team's legend is back, and the Madison Square Garden arena is naturally full.
In terms of the strength of the team, the Grizzlies are 12-1 and the first in the league, and the Knicks are also ranked sixth in the East with an 8-6 record.
Both teams are playoff-caliber powerhouses, and the Grizzlies are still the top teams in the league.
The matchup, coupled with Patrick Ewing's return battle, this match is naturally the most watched game in the same period.
"Welcome to Madison Square Garden Arena! This is the scene of the 2000-2001 NBA regular season! "On the NBC commentary bench, there are still two familiar faces, McBrin and Marv Albert.
"New York Knicks home game against Vancouver Grizzlies!"
"Mike, what do you think of this game?" Marv Albert turned to look at McBlin.
McBrin thought for a moment: "The highlights of this game have been said countless times, the return of Patrick Ewing, and his matchup with Knicks junior Marcus Camby, and Ragabel's pre-game mouth cannon, and his matchup with Manuginobili, but I want to say another highlight that no one has mentioned. ”
"What?"
Mav Albert is naturally puzzled, in addition to these two sets of duels, what are the other highlights of this game?
"Maybe no one has noticed the Knicks' tactical play this season, after the Grizzlies started the game with a strong-side multi-person pressing defense in Qiaohai's mouth, the Knicks' defense has also changed accordingly, last season, they played a pseudo-joint defense, and in the first few games of this season, their defense was an ordinary two-three defense, and after that, their defense gradually changed, becoming more and more like the Grizzlies' strong-side multi-person pressing defense......"
On the sidelines, the Grizzlies are already on the field.
Joe Hay appeared first, followed by a group of Grizzlies players, with the massive Patrick Ewing being particularly eye-catching.
"Shh......h
"Shh......h
In an instant, boos rang out at the Madison Square Garden Arena.
"Sure enough......," Byron Scott said with affection.
As expected, New York fans won't miss anything, and Patrick Ewing's return to Madison Square Garden will result in boos and maybe even all sorts of scolding.
Hearing Byron Scott's voice, Qiao Hai also followed: "The fans in New York are very enthusiastic, but they should be regarded as the worst fans in the world!" ”
