On October 12, Sun Yue and his teammates took the Hawks' special plane back to a familiar place - the home of the New York Knicks, Madison Garden Square.

Here we have to praise the benefits of the commercialization of the NBA, where NBA players often have to travel from city to city in a short period of time due to the needs of the game. And for some teams that span three, or even four time zones, the only option is to fly.

In the early days of the NBA's development, with the development of the aircraft industry, the team's travel choice gradually changed to flying on a business jet. But due to the athletes' size and the media at the airport, this situation had to be changed.

As a result, the NBA league chose to adopt a charter program from the 1997-98 season. The alliance signed a seven-year contract with General Electric to provide the aircraft for Northwest Airlines and convert the 160-seat Boeing 727 into a 56-seat luxury charter aircraft. In the first year of the trial, seven teams from the Lakers, Clippers, Spurs, Pacers, Rockets, Nuggets and Warriors joined the charter program, increasing to 13 teams in the 2000-01 season, and by this year all teams in the league have joined the charter program.

Sun Yue, who was lying on the comfortable seat of the special plane, thought about how comfortable he was when he used to take the bus to play away, and he felt that it was still comfortable to play in the NBA.

The plane flew fast, and after arriving at the airport, the Eagles arrived at Madison Garden Square in a special car to begin preparing for tonight's game.

In the away locker room at Madison Square Square before the game, the Hawks management put pressure on Woodson to win the second preseason game because of the loss in the last game, so as to increase the confidence of the Eagles fans in the new season and increase the sales of team tickets and merchandise.

Woodson, who learned the lessons of the defeat in the last game, canceled the team's rotation and announced today's starting lineup: point guard: Sun Yue, shooting guard: Joe. Johnson, small forward: Al. Harrington, power forward: Josh. Smith, center: Pachuria, played a stud of his cards in one breath and vowed to win the game.

The Hawks' opponent today, the Knicks, brought in ace coach Larry who led the Pistons to last year's championship this year. Brown, but their uniform team, especially the general manager "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah. Thomas has a confused mind on team management, focusing on players and fame over the team's lineup.

Their lineup is seriously unbalanced, and there is no one available on the inside. Curry is strong on offense and weak on defense. Jerome. James is a complete chicken rib and wasted the Knicks' mid-level contract. Davis has slipped significantly. The Knicks are seriously short of people on the inside, but they have a group of stars on the outside: Marbury, Quentin. Richardson, Jamal. Crawford also used the team's first-round pick and 22nd pick to draft Sun Yue's former defeated player, "Little Potato" Nate. Robinson.

The Knicks have a lot of big names in the backcourt, but none of them have satisfied head coach Brown. Because none of them can defend, and these big names are self-conscious, teamless, and passing is a complete luxury for them, Larry. Brown's strategy of putting defense first, splitting the ball, and sharing every shot simply doesn't work.

The Knicks' completely unreasonable player reserves have made celebrity coach Larry. Brown is very distressed in the lineup, and Brown, who has no rice to cook, can only put out a strange lineup of three guards, and the starting lineup of the Knicks is: point guard: Marbury, scoring guard: Jamal. Crawford, small forward: Quentin. Richardson, power forward: Antonio. Davis, center: Eddie. Curry.

The Knicks' lineup looks very luxurious at first glance, but in fact it is very unreasonable, the starting five all need a lot of balls, and apart from power forward Antonio. Davis, the other four are all offensive players who are better than defensive.

The Knicks' sieve-like defense was severely tested as soon as it came up. After the opening, Sun Yue first broke through Marbury, who was known as the "No. 1 point guard in the league" before the game and planned to educate Sun Yue well, and made an easy layup, perfectly showing his explosiveness and speed. Then, after the Knicks' teammates were wary of his breakthrough, Sun Yue and Josh. Smith made another equally simple high-post blocking and pick-and-roll combination, and after the split, both of them actually had opportunities, and Sun Yue, who had long been accustomed to the NCAA's rigorous defense, was stunned.

Sun Yue was not denied by the holes in the opponent's defense, and he easily passed the ball with one hand. Smith picked up the basketball and locked up the top 10 of the day with a gliding dunk imbued with a violent aesthetic.

In the first quarter of the game, Sun Yue completely dominated the Hawks' offense, and he played 9 minutes in the first quarter. Cutting down 7 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, he not only performed well on his own offense, but also organized the Hawks' offense well. Smith blocked the pick-and-roll in the high post, and the wings ambushed Joe. Johnson and Al. Harrington, the two outside players, and Pachulia waited for an opportunity in the penalty area, and this simple but layered tactic was played vigorously under the organization of Sun Yue.

In the second quarter, when the Hawks' starting lineup went off the break, the Knicks replaced three rookies selected this year - Nate. Robinson, Channing. Fry, David... Lee, the three rookies who had played against Sun Yue in the NCAA, gave the Knicks a lot of energy when they played, although the Hawks' backup point guard, Tyronn. Lue struggled to control the offensive and defensive tempo, but still couldn't resist the Knicks' storm, and in the fifth minute of the second quarter, with Channing. Frye's three-pointer narrowed the deficit to two points.

Woodson, who was standing on the sideline, finally couldn't look at it, and with a wave of his big hand, the starting five who had rested for half a quarter were once again put on the line.

The starting lineup of the Eagles, under the command of Sun Yue, regained the initiative in the game and fixed the score at 52:43 before halftime.

At halftime, the away locker room at Madison Garden Square was full of laughter, the Eagles players joked loudly with each other, in the first half of the game, Sun Yue distributed the ball very reasonably, everyone was fully performed, individual performance and team play are correct, naturally everyone is in a good mood.

The Eagles are now in the run-in period, and this joyful atmosphere helps to improve the speed of the team's run-in and increase the team's chemistry, which is a thing that does more good than harm, and Woodson is happy to see this atmosphere, so naturally he will not open his mouth to reprimand the players for being too relaxed. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
