"They call our coach an old dog?" David. Lee was in the locker room of the training gym the next day, holding a newspaper and talking to his teammates.

"Isn't he?" Wu Huang secretly slandered in his heart, but on the surface, of course, he was quite indignant, and scolded "Yahoo Sports" with his teammates!

Wu Huang is a bit unkind, regardless of D'Antoni's coaching ability, the coach who is best at digging and cultivating point guards is not in vain, Mustache has almost been the hand-in-hand professor Wu Huang in recent months, he can adapt to the NBA rhythm so quickly, and play so well in the preseason, it is inseparable from D'Antoni's help and various blocking routines specially designed for him.

It's not that the Knicks don't have any routines, at least the pick-and-roll combination of the point guard and the interior has always been the mustache's strength, and Wu Huang has benefited a lot from these pick-and-roll combinations, and his scoring and assist stats are very good, thanks to these simple routines designed for him by D'Antoni.

After the preseason, many media are not optimistic that New York's bombardment can play in the new season, and the regular betting groups are mostly between 1.5 to 1.5 to 1 to 2 on whether they can enter the playoffs, and they are obviously not optimistic that they can make the playoffs. In the illegal peripheral groups, some handicaps actually offer odds of 1 to 3, which is a bit of a contempt for them, you must know that the Knicks are in the East, and in the past few years, teams with less than half of the winning rate often enter the playoffs, so New York fans are so confident in their own teams.

"Let's slap them in the face!" Wu Huang raised his head, and a bunch of young players immediately shouted in the locker room, only Harrington, Hughes, Jeffries, Eddie. Curry's four veteran players remained silent, and some even leaked disdainful looks.

There are only a few of the Knicks' large number of moths left, and the enthusiasm of this group of people is really problematic. They have no motivation to play, and of course the quality of guys like Hughes, Curry and Jeffries is in question.

"It looks like I'm going to put a little pressure on the team, these four guys don't contribute in training and games, but they take up more than 36 million salary space in the team, if you can use this money in exchange for one or two players who can be used. Their hopes of making the playoffs will be greatly enhanced. Emperor Wu looked at the four bastards sitting in the corner, and felt very unhappy.

In fact, these four people are not all powerful, Harrington is now in the year of playing, the offensive means are extremely comprehensive, the three-point back hook hand changes direction and breakthroughs, and the appearance is very close to Jordan, but unfortunately there is no defense, this is a typical brush type player.

Of course, if only there is no defense. This is actually nothing in the Knicks, but what makes Wu Huang unhappy is that he has not run without the ball, and likes to stand up and play alone with the ball, which is unreasonable, the above actions are his core privileges, and Wu Huang allows David at most. Lee plays this on the inside, but on the outside, unless he's playing a sixth-man role. There must not be such an uncle among the starters, isn't there no distinction between primary and secondary?

D'Antoni is also now in a relationship with team manager Donnie. Walsh discussed together. Let's see if we can send Hughes and the others away, preferably in exchange for two players who can play. If no one wants them, and then they have to send these guys away in exchange for some expiring contracts, keeping them in the team will seriously affect the chemistry and hinder the development of these young players.

The reason why I say this is because I don't send these people away for a day. D'Antoni has to get them on the court and schedule their playing time, otherwise no one wants it, just like the Rockets have to make Maddie play five minutes per game, which is to show everyone what the cargo is like. But it will definitely affect the playing time of the young players.

But in any case, before the start of the regular season, the Knicks have a new look compared to last season, and in the comments of the New York media themselves: New York is no longer a team without a master, and it is a victory on paper!

Yes, since Donnie. Walsh & Mike. Since D'Antoni took over at the Big Apple, the New York Knicks have been in a state of ruin. But helplessly, "the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high", and the new managers have been doing more in the past few years on how to clean up Isaiah. The mess that Thomas left behind.

They have already paid multiple future draft picks last season in order to send away the likes of Marbury and Randolph. Since the foundation of New Yorkers' reconstruction was not a blank sheet of paper, but a redrawing pattern on black paper, it is very certain that they can get to this point this summer.

New York fans should rejoice, although their roster depth is now lower than in previous seasons, but now the Knicks are no longer the ownerless team, Wu Huang is the hope of New York, look at the dilemma of the derby opponent New Jersey Nets, you will know why Knicks fans are satisfied. Today's Knicks have a star rookie like Wu Huang, supplemented by a group of supporting players with good strength and future, and their inner confidence is much stronger than that of the Nets.

Overall, what the Knicks gained this summer was confidence in the future, and what they're going to prove next is that that faith has a reason and is "worth it." The only indicator of how well or badly the offseason is to determine how well it works is the lineup on paper, and there is no need to talk about the inexplicable topic that basketball is not an arithmetic game, but it should be admitted that the Knicks have done the best they can in theory. Their next goal is to tell the big stars next summer that "our current roster plus you is capable of winning championships on paper."

Wu Huang now knows best that he must win the Rookie of the Year this season and show everyone his superstar potential, which will be a guarantee that he will continue to sit at the heart of New York next year.

The first game of the regular season on October 28 will be an opportunity for the Knicks and Wu Huang to prove themselves.

Their first opponent in the regular season is the Miami Heat, which is a team with peak superstars, Wade is the only No. 2 position on par with Kobe Bryant in recent years, although Saint Seiya Roy is considered Kobe's successor, but at this stage he is still a little short of these two supergiants, Roy has not proven himself in the playoffs, and has serious injury concerns.

Returning to the opponent first, this summer's Heat team could not be better described in a four-word idiom: doing nothing. From the perspective of the team's main roster framework, the loss of Moon and the acquisition of Richardson, the Heat have not changed much, and they are pinning their hopes on O'Neal Jr. to continue to stay healthy. Beasley has had an explosive season, and with a healthy and god-killing Wade, the Heat still have the strength to beat the likes of the Celtics, Cavaliers and Magic in the East.

So whether O'Neal Jr. can play at a star level is the key to whether the Heat can participate in the East competition, and Miami hopes that this former super interior player will have a second spring, after all, he is very young. Last summer, he still received hundreds of millions of top salaries, and the industry also speculated whether O'Neal Jr. would regain the penalty area deterrence of the Pacers era.

On paper, it's clear that the Knicks should lose to Miami, but the NBA game is never about strength on paper.

The two teams actively prepared for the game before the game, and Wu Huang even refused the lure of Lai's young singer who was not leaving New York, and devoted himself to preparing for the first game of his career.

That's right, in his mind, the preseason is not an official NBA game at all, don't you see that the data he got will not enter the NBA's official website and ESPN's database at all?

So. The regular season is his first game in the NBA, and he has to play at a level in this game.

As for Taylor, who was left at home by him. Swift, this stinky girl actually wants to transfer to New York to go to school, which really scares Emperor Wu! He had forgotten that it was easy to transfer to an American university, Taylor. As soon as Swift did this, his days in New York would hurt in the future.

Time came to the 29th in a blink of an eye. Today is the Knicks' first regular-season game, and the opponent is the Miami Heat. The confident Knicks, led by Wade at the pinnacle, were quickly beaten back to their original shape, and the Heat almost crushed their opponents in the first three quarters.

Wu Huang's performance today is still excellent, Chalmers and Arroyo's defense is very average, and Wu Huang, who is extremely fast and has excellent shooting skills, is in full passivity. The Knicks were in full bloom in the first quarter, hitting six three-pointers in the quarter to take an eight-point lead at 28-20.

Wade had a mediocre first quarter, shooting just 2-of-8 from the field, including two missed layups. But the superstar's ability to adjust made Wu Huang admire. In the second quarter, the Flash was fully charged, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, and the Heat ended the first half with a 56-50 lead.

The Knicks are still that problem today, the players are not stable enough, once they don't feel good, the score will plummet, and at this time, they can't prevent the opponent's attack, and they will naturally be beaten one by one to overtake the score.

And Hughes and Harrington started again today, these two players with an annual salary of 10 million, if D'Antoni wants to trade them away, then he must give enough playing time, which is the direct reason for affecting the team's chemistry, those young players do not get enough opportunities to play, and their performance will gradually decline, so the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it is to the Knicks.

In the third quarter, the Heat defeated the opponent with defense, and with 9 minutes and 20 seconds left in the quarter, the Knicks chased the score to 56:62, but O'Neal Jr. immediately made a backhand layup and colored, Wade and Richardson also scored one after another, and the Heat played a wave of 11:0 and opened the gap at 73:56 in one fell swoop.

The Heat, who led by 28 points in the third quarter, won the quarter 35-16 and led by 25 points at 91-66 after three quarters.

Wu Huang also seemed powerless in the second half, although he was not defeated, he still wanted to do something, but when the morale of the whole team was low and his teammates were beaten, he was inevitably affected, and it was basically impossible to rely on one person to turn the tide like high school and college. NBA players far outperform college players in terms of experience and technical and tactical ability, and it is impossible for Wu Huang to beat an entire team by himself, even if he is as strong as Kobe Bryant, James and other superstars, they have only had a few incredible performances in their entire careers.

The team's starting lineup was demoralized and could no longer be used today, so D'Antoni decisively replaced the team's young players in the fourth quarter to try to make a last-ditch effort.

This choice is right, Gallinari, Chandler and others don't have much playing time today, they haven't been beaten yet, plus Wu Huang's leadership, the Knicks started the fourth quarter with a wave of 11:3. However, they fell behind too much in the first three quarters, Wade didn't give the Knicks a chance at all, and the lightning break scored five points in a row, easily extinguishing the Knicks' counterattack flames, and the Knicks ultimately failed to pose a threat.

Now that the defeat has been lost, D'Antoni quickly replaced Wu Huang, and the Knicks chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops and save energy to deal with the next opponent.

Wu Huang clutched his chest on the sidelines, looking at Wade, who was also replaced, with a depressed expression.

Just now he tried to dislocate the defense of this superstar who is on par with Kobe, and originally thought that with his arm span and footsteps, he could have some impact on Wade, but he didn't expect that the two defenses, he was bounced off by a physical contact, and there was no limit to other people's opportunities at all, and Wade scored five points in a row before he won it.

"Damn, it seems too difficult to kill Wade, but at least kill Chalmers today, it shouldn't be a shame." Wu Huang can only comfort himself like this, today he played 28 minutes, cut 21 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, such a debut performance is already good, and Arroyo of Chalmers, who is opposite him, has to add up to compare it with his statistics.

"So I'm still pretty awesome, aren't I?" The more Wu Huang thinks about it, the more he feels that he is awesome, this is one of the ways he adjusts his mentality, no matter how good or bad he plays, a game is over, then he should not bring the emotion of losing to the next game, so the appropriate Ah Q spirit is a must, and sometimes he has to forcibly hypnotize himself is very awesome, so as to maintain enough self-confidence.
