Chapter 314: The Playoffs Are Also Rested?

Li Wei looked at his two daughters and felt a sense of accomplishment.

He still remembered that Sylvia had always been afraid of him when she first came to the house, but now she treated him as family.

The only problem is that he, a father, is not as tall as his daughter, Sylvia's height is 1.65 meters, and Xie Siqi is even more terrifying, and he has reached 1.75 meters in the past two years.

"Dad, I don't think you will grow taller in the future, this height is quite suitable now." Sylvia said.

Li Wei said: "Go, what do you know, men should be taller, like Da Yao's height, it is called suitable." ”

Da Yao laughed and said, "You can't learn from me, I'm a little too tall." ”

"Uh-huh." Xie Siqi nodded in agreement, "Dad, it's good that you're as tall as me, don't grow any longer!" ”

Sylvia frowned and said, "How can you be as tall as you, you are too tall!" ”

A few people chatted on the sidelines for a while, and the game was about to start.

After the departure of Mav Albert due to a sex scandal at the Voice of the Knicks in New York, Mike Brin became the chief commentator for Madison Garden, and it was usually him and Fraser who talked about it on the sidelines.

However, Mike Brin also has a couple of substitutes who come on when he can't come, just as he did when he used to be on the bench for Marv Albert.

Today's commentary on the sidelines is one of Mike Breen's substitutes, named Mike Crispino, who is the chief commentator for the Red Storms at St. John's University.

Madison Square Garden is not only home to the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New York Liberty, but also to the Red Storm basketball team at St. John's University.

Among the universities in New York, Columbia University is definitely the most famous for academic research, and it is an Ivy League school like Harvard, Yale and other universities. However, when it comes to the influence of basketball circles, St. John's University, which sits at the home of Madison Garden, is clearly more eye-catching.

In the NCAA, the St. John's University Red Storms belong to the Great Eastern Conference, and Georgetown University (the alma mater of Ewing, Uncle Mu, Iverson, etc.) that we are familiar with), Villanova University, and so on, are all members of this league.

Red Storm is not only the name of the basketball team, but also the football, baseball, fencing, and golf teams of St. John's University.

The Red Storm basketball team has produced outstanding talents such as Chris Mullin, Mark Jackson, and Bulls backup center Bill Winnington, who completed a three-game winning streak with Jordan last year, and has reached the NCAA Championship many times in history.

This year, the Red Storms reached the NCAA elite quarterfinals again, and there is a talented forward on the team who is in the spotlight, and he is in the lottery with many draft predictions, and his name is Ron Artest.

The Red Storm basketball team is not only a home court at Madison Garden, they can only rent it if there are no games in the garden, and if the Storms game clash with the Knicks and other teams, then sorry, you better go back to your school!

The gymnasium on St. John's University's campus, called Caneseka Arena, is relatively small and can only accommodate 5,602 spectators.

Mike Crispino's partner, of course, is Knicks legend Walter Frazier.

Fraser's role at Madison Square Garden is somewhat similar to that of Director Zhang in China, and of course, he is more professional than Director Zhang. This man is the Knicks' all-time assist king, with two championship rings in hand and a jersey hanging over Madison Garden, who dares to disagree?

"Walter, I really didn't expect the Knicks to win two consecutive away games on the home court of the 76ers, it's amazing, I think we can sweep the 76ers out of the tournament if we win two more home courts!" Mike Kristpino said.

Walter Fraser said: "I also hope that David will lead the team to sweep the 76ers out, we haven't tasted the Eastern Conference Finals for too long. The last time the team made it to the Eastern Conference Finals was in '94, when Pat Riley led the team. ”

Mike Crispino said: "Haha, we defeated the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the head coach of the Pacers is now the head coach of the 76ers, Larry Brown, what an old friend!" ”

Walter Fraser said: "Now that I think about it, the Pacers back then were really good, with a regular season record of only fifth in the East, but they swept the Magic team in the fourth place in the East 3-0 in the first round. You know, O'Neal and Hardaway were both in magic that year, and they were simply shaved their heads. ”

Mike Chrirpeno said: "O'Neal's big brush is the life of being swept away, and he can't win the championship." At that time, the Pacers not only swept the Magic in the first round, but also eliminated the Hawks who were the first in the East 4:2 in the second round, and fought 7 games with us in the Eastern Conference finals, only to lose in the end. ”

Walter Fraser said: "Coach Larry Brown is always going to lead the team to amazing games, so even though we are 2-0 up, we can't be careless. ”

Mike Chris Pino said: "I think if we win against the 76ers, we will be more legendary than the Pacers in '94. Because the Pacers are only 5th and we are 8th! ”

Walter Fraser said: "The supersonic team of Black Seven in '87 also made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Of course, if we are the Black Eight into the East, it will definitely be stronger! ”

Mike Chrirspino said: "The players from both teams are about to come on the pitch, and we'll see if there are any changes to the line-up of the coaches on both sides. ”

Larry Brown really changed the lineup, and he started with Teylon Hill in place of George Lynch!

Teylon Hill is 2.06 meters tall, very strong in rebounding and defense, and ugly in appearance, and was once selected for the clumliest team of the season along with alien Kassel and others - of course, this lineup is not officially judged, but by fans.

Larry Brown likes Terylon Hill's ugly face the most, he looks so ugly, coupled with a fierce defense, he is really like a fierce ghost like a cage, and everyone is afraid of him!

Fraser said in surprise: "This lineup is Hill and Ratlif double power forwards, Larry Brown actually put two power forwards on the court, is he trying to limit Garnett?" ”

The style of play of two power forwards is not common in later generations, because it cannot open up space. But it's still visible now, because the rules don't allow joint defense.

Popovich can open up space with three centers, and Larry Brown has no problem with double forwards. What's more, now that almost the entire team of the 76ers doesn't shoot three-pointers, Larry Brown is also lacking in interest in three-point shots, and he puts two big forwards at the same time, which is not much different from a big front and a small front.

Mike Chris Pino said: "I think he must have been aiming at Garnett, who was able to blow them up in the last game. Let's see if there are any changes to the Knicks' lineup. ”

The Knicks' starting list was handed over, and Mike Crispino's eyes widened and said, "Hey, our starters are Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, Dirk Nowitzki, Ben Wallace, and Rasu Nesterovic?" What happened to Garnett, is he injured? Why didn't Da Yao play? ”

Walter Fraser also said with a surprised face: "The reason given by Coach Li for his absence is that he is rested, and Garnett and Da Yao are both rested. ”

Mike Chris Pino knows that Li Wei habitually arranges some main players not to play in back-to-back games, but now it's the playoffs!

In the heat of the playoffs, can you also arrange a rotation?

It's crazy, isn't it?

Larry Brown was also shocked to see how much the Knicks' starting lineup had changed, and at the same time a bad feeling came to mind!
