Li Wei entered with the Knicks, but he didn't coach or play, so he sat in the audience behind the players with Xia Cuirong and watched the game leisurely.

How to play this game, he has long studied with D'Antoni, as for the specific command, D'Antoni is definitely more powerful than him, a newcomer who has just entered the industry, so he just has to bring his eyes.

Don Cheney quickly lined up the Magic's starting lineup:

Main center: Jason Lawson, who is 2.11 meters tall.

This person is the 13th pick in the second round of this year, and was originally selected by the Nuggets, but the Magic team is very optimistic about him, and deliberately replaced him with a second-round pick in '99 plus Eric Washington.

The Magic's power forward is Amar McCaskill, who is also 2.11 meters tall.

This man was a rookie with the 20th pick in the 2nd round in '96 and was a sophomore like Nash and John Wallace. However, Nash and John Wallace still had a little bit of playing time last season, and McCaskill completely put on the bench.

Don't look at the Magic's interior as a second-round pick and fringe people, Don Cheney feels that they can take advantage of the game.

Because the Knicks' roster is only going to get worse!

Li Wei's big Z in exchange for a high price has been determined not to participate in the summer league, and no matter how he picks in the draft, it is impossible to compete with the existence of the Magic team's inner twin towers!

Two 2.11-meter-tall men must cover the sky and the sun, so that the Knicks will be caught!

In addition, the small forward of the Magic team is John Taylor, who is 2.06 meters tall.

This person is the 17th pick in the first round of this year, tall and long-armed, with baskets, but unstable, and lacks the ability to fight, he can't play big forward, and can only play small forward. The Magic's coaching staff believes he still has some potential and is worth a first-round pick.

The Magic's shooting guard is Brian Evans, who is 2.03 meters tall.

This person is the 27th pick of the first round selected by the Magic team in the first round last year, a top student at Indiana University, who is good both offensively and defensively, but unfortunately it was in college. When he came to the NBA, he met a group of more demonic professional players, and he could only sit on the bench.

Brian Evans is accustomed to being a small forward, but John Taylor, who is taller, occupies the small forward position and can only play at shooting guard.

The last to organize the defender, Don Cheney sent Rick Bronson.

This person graduated from Temple University, was undrafted in 95, is 1.93 meters tall, and has average organizational skills, but he is already at the top level in the draft, and he is deeply loved by Don Cheney.

The audience gasped together when they saw the lineup of the Magic team. Needless to say, the twin towers that cover the sky and the sun on the inside line, the height of their outer line is just as amazing!

Basketball pays attention to an inch long, an inch strong, and the Magic team is full of people, and the height advantage is so big, the Knicks definitely have no good fruit to eat!

D'Antoni saw the Magic's main lineup on the court and also sent the Knicks as a starter.

The Knicks' starting center is a sophomore, 2.03 meters tall and last year's first-round No. 18 rookie, John Wallace!

The big forward is this year's second-round show, the 2.03-meter-tall martial saint Stephen Jackson!

The small forward is an undrafted pick in '93, 2.01 meters tall, and Bruce Bowen, who previously played in the French league!

The attacking guard is this year's undrafted Damon Jones, who is 1.91 meters tall!

The last playmaker is last year's No. 15 rookie in the first round, Steve Nash, who is 1.91 meters tall!

When the audience saw the starting lineup of the Knicks, they were first startled, and then covered their mouths and chuckled.

Although on paper, the strength of the two teams' starters is about the same, and the Knicks have one less second-round pick, but the strength of the first-round pick is stronger, but your lineup arrangement is too unreasonable!

John Wallace at 2.03m, you let him play center?

This must not be bullied to death by other people's twin towers?

And that former Stephen Jackson, who is also on the outside, right?

With such a troop arrangement, you really didn't mean to deliver food?

Comparing the outside line again, everyone found that the Knicks are also one size shorter than the Magic from the front to the point guard, and the more they look at it, the more they look like an amateur team!

Don Cheney, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this situation.

What is this, John Wallace can also play center? The coach from Italy really doesn't understand the ball!

It seems that this game will be a slaughter!

Jumping in the middle of the court, Magic center Jason Lawson hooked his long arm and rolled the ball into the hands of their shooting guard Brian Evans, and the Knicks' center John Wallace didn't even touch the ball!

Bronson, the Magic point guard, moved forward with the ball and called a pick-and-roll. Power forward McCaskill blocks and goes down, and then receives the ball!

The Knicks are opposite McCaskill by Stephen Jackson. The fans' deepest impression of the martial saint is probably the 07 playoffs, when he killed the Mavericks' ace, Dirk Nowitzki, who is 2.13 meters tall, thus allowing the Warriors to create a legend of Black Eight!

Unfortunately, the current Stephen Jackson is not the Stephen Jackson of ten years later, he is just a nineteen-year-old boy. After a year of college, he still attended Butler Community College, and he didn't even have a decent basketball team, so his defensive awareness was not good!

After blocking the fold, he leaked people!

McCaskill received the ball and slammed it into the basket!

The Magic got off to a good start, leading 2-0!

"Hahaha!" Don Cheney couldn't help the smugness in his heart, looked at D'Antoni on the side defiantly, and said loudly: "Hi, Italian brother, welcome to the NBA!" ”

"Thank you!" D'Antoni nodded gentlemanly and ignored his provocation.

Don Cheney would love to tell D'Antoni that you need to send a big center to protect the basket, so that we still can't beat us, but at least we won't be abused too badly!

But after a little thought, he still gave up this idea, who would refuse a hearty victory?

At least he Don Cheney can't refuse!

Looking over the court again, Don Cheney saw that the Knicks players had run to the frontcourt, and the Knicks' twin towers were also in position to return to defense.

Looking at his twin towers, he smiled again. There are so many guardian saints on the inside line, how can the other party attack it?

But a generation of famous marshals has not finished being proud, and something unexpected happened. The Knicks' center John Wallace actually stood outside the three-point line and shot when he caught the ball!

Bang!

The ball arcs gracefully and falls into the basket!

Three points!

John Wallace made a three-pointer!

"Ho, you really dare to vote!" Don Cheney raised an eyebrow and looked at his former disciple.

As a former head assistant coach in New York, he knows John Wallace well. This is the genius who led Syracuse University all the way to the NCAA finals last year, averaging 22.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, and shooting 42% from three-point range!

However, Knicks coach Van Gundy does not advocate three-pointers, and John Wallace can only listen to his coach and shoot fewer three-pointers when he arrives on the team. Last season, he only shot four times when he was forced to do so!

However, in these only four shots, he scored two goals, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 50%, just looking at the shooting percentage, which is more accurate than in college!

Don Cheney, despite being an old-school coach, is more receptive to three-point points and less hated than Saunders.

However, due to the limitations of the times, he does not think that three-point shooting should be a priority. That is to say, the inside line can't be hit, and there is no chance for the mid-range shot, so it is appropriate to choose three points at this time.

Usually throwing three points indiscriminately, that is asking for a loss!

John Wallace didn't play tactics at all, and he casually threw a three-pointer after half court, and no matter how you look at it, he is suspected of indiscriminate shooting. Even if he threw it in, Don Cheney despised him in his heart.

That's not how the ball plays!

You can get away with indiscriminate throwing, but you can't win the game!

Only that Italian would let the player shoot like this, right? In my team, whoever dares to throw so indiscriminately, it's no wonder that I don't scold him for a month!

"Hit the inside, hit the inside!" Don Cheney shouted.

The Magic point guard nodded and hoisted the ball directly to their power forward McCaskill.

There are twin towers on the inner line, how can you not use them?

Stephen Jackson had just given McCaskill two points, and he was so depressed that he had already seen the cold gaze of Li Wei in the audience.

He wants to become a superstar, and he resolutely can't tolerate a second-round show on his head!

That's right, Stephen Jackson is a second-round show himself, but he really looks down on other second-round shows because he thinks he's special!

If he hadn't chosen to go to college last year, but instead of being admitted to the University of Arizona, he wasted a year at Butler Community College, how could he still be worth the lotto, right?

(The first round pick is called the lotto pick, there were 29 teams in the NBA in '97, the first 13 picks were lotto, and the first 14 picks were lotto for 30 teams after '04.) Because the teams with these picks did not make the playoffs, they are eligible for the lottery to win the champion. ）

The second-round show wants to hit me, no way!

Stephen Jackson immediately used his sucking strength to defend!

If McCaskill had Nowitzki's ability in ten years, eating Stephen Jackson alone would not be a problem at all, and the current Stephen Jackson is still too tender!

It's a pity that he doesn't have Nowitzki's skills!

Needless to say, Nowitzki, even if it's an average NBA player, he can't compare. He is on the thin side, lacks strength, and his skills are even worse!

In his previous life, he was cut by the Magic after the preseason of this season, and since then he has been wandering in various leagues such as Greece, Spain, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Italy and Lebanon.

He also came to China, and that was in '09, and he was the outcast of our Qing (Harmony) Island double star.

That's right, basketball is an inch long and an inch strong, and the taller the body, the more advantageous, but that's when the level of the two is not much different!

Ben Wallace is 2.03 meters tall and plays center, and big men can't eat him, just because he's strong enough!

McCaskill's confrontation is one level behind the Martial Saint, even if there is a height advantage, it is still a decoration!

After a long day, McCaskill found himself on top of a wall, unable to move forward, so he had to make a flowing mid-range shot.

Stephen Jackson, who was ten centimeters shorter than him, tried to interfere, but the ball didn't even touch the basket!

John Wallace grabbed the defensive rebound, then threw it to Nash and raced forward!

Along with him are Stephen Jackson and the others!

Evans and the others of the Magic team saw that things were not good, and the other party wanted to play a fast attack and hurry back to defense!

Evans and the others are fast enough to defend, but the inside twin towers can't run fast, and the Knicks easily came to a five-on-three!

The score is five to two!

"I'll go, it's indiscriminate littering again!" Don Cheney saw the Knicks score and stomped his foot hard!

When the Knicks scored, the Magic's twin towers ran to the halfcourt, which was too fast!

How could that Italian coach let the team shoot like this, and did he have a brain?

What's more, people have no brains, they can still score, and they punch the master to death!

D'Antoni is certainly not brainless, but he adheres to his concept of fast play whirlwind basketball!

Veteran fans will remember that when this guy coached the Suns, he focused on seven-second offense, and each offense should try to finish in seven seconds.

In fact, seven seconds is conservative, at that time, it was very common for the Suns to only take three or four seconds from serving to dunking, and the key point of this style of play is to be fast!

Once I run, your defenses in positional warfare will be all scum, because before you can defend tactically, we're done!

D'Antoni, who came to the NBA for the first time, was not so bold to play cannonballing, and he knew that NBA teams did not play like this. But Li Wei's full support made him let go of his hands and feet!

Let's do it, it's the summer league anyway, so it's a good practice!
