Li Weidao: "Yes, our players have more average playing time, which I think is a good thing. The team signed everyone to let everyone contribute to the team, not sit on the bench and wave a towel all the time! ”

"Hahaha!" Some reporters chuckled.

The reporter asked again: "But Coach Li, if you let Big Z play a few more minutes, maybe this game will be won." ”

Li Weidao: "Last season, Big Z was recovering from injuries all season, and he didn't play in this year's summer league. The team medical team and I don't think he should play too much. You know, this kind of big man is heavy in itself, and it is easy to have problems if he is too tired, so it is better to observe for a while. ”

"Coach Lee......"

"Coach Lee......"

After dealing with a lot of boring questions, the press conference finally ended. Major media in New York reported for the first time that the Knicks' lead of 34 points was overturned.

This era is the era of coaches who are ruthless in their work, basically all the main players will not play less than 30 minutes, and it is even more common for stars to play for more than 40 minutes.

Garnett, who played the longest in the Knicks' game, only played 28 minutes, and no one played 30 minutes, which can be described as a miracle. So head coach Li Wei's mind is also clear - he is rotten!

The media has mixed opinions on the Knicks' behavior from the first game of the season, with the New York Post believing that Li Wei lacks competitive spirit, and the New York Daily News feeling that next year's rookie without Duncan's gold content is not worth playing bad from the beginning of the season.

However, after selling Ewing, all the media thought that New York's new season would be bad, so Li Wei began to mess up, and everyone was not too surprised.

Another hot topic in the media is the performance of Garnett and Big Z.

Garnett, who scored 15 points and squandered seven three-pointers on the outside, and didn't shoot a single one, is it worth the biggest contract in the NBA?

Obviously, the answer given by everyone is not worth it!

Compared with Garnett, Big Z's side is a hymn. This big European man, who was not favored beforehand, gave all his critics a resounding slap in the face!

After all, the basketball court has to speak with strength, and Big Z's rookie debut scored 16 points and 16 rebounds, and no one blacked Li Wei's deal anymore!

If Big Z can continue this state, then Li Wei will definitely be known as a generation of Bole!

On November 1, Li Wei came to the training hall and immediately saw Garnett practicing three points frantically in a corner of the training field.

It seems that the criticism of the media has stimulated him a lot!

Li Wei watched Garnett's shot for a moment, then moved to the lounge.

Stephen Jackson was in the break room, writing and drawing with the team's playbook. Seeing Li Wei coming in, he scratched his head and shouted a little embarrassedly, "Coach......"

Li Wei nodded. Although Lord Martial Saint's personality is a bit problematic, he is still very diligent, otherwise he would not have been able to play in the NBA for so many seasons.

"Stephen, it's a good performance to know shame and courage. You didn't get a professional basketball coach at Butler Community College, and you were young, so you had to learn more to catch up. I just know that I rely on my body to play and I want to go head-to-head at every turn, which will not bring victory to the team. ”

"Yes, Coach." Stephen Jackson nodded, then said, "Then will I still get playing time in the future?" ”

Li Wei smiled lightly, I'll point at you this year, can you not give you playing time?

"You're right with this attitude, as long as you can maintain this attitude, be humble and obey the arrangement, I will try to arrange playing time for you. Even if you don't play well, I won't give up on you! ”

"Coach!" Stephen Jackson's eyes welled up with tears.

Li Wei patted him on the waist and said, "Work hard, Stephen, I hope you can play out, instead of being like Bruce, who is 26 years old and still has a basic salary contract, and lives a precarious life!" ”

"Hmm!" Jackson nodded vigorously.

Coming to another lounge, Li Wei immediately saw Bruce Bowen. This kid is slowing down Stockton's video and learning other people's small movements!

Seeing Li Wei come in, Bowen scratched his head a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Coach! ”

Li Wei nodded and said, "Don't worry about me, you can continue to watch." Remember, be aggressive on your defense and make others fear you. When someone else sees you defending against the ball when they get the ball, they will tremble, and they can't score the ball they can throw, then you have succeeded. ”

"If I guard against it, they will tremble when they land?" Bowen blinked, and then looked at Stockton, who was pinching other people's eggs on the screen, and seemed to have found a good way!

On November 2, the Knicks ushered in the first home game of the new season, and the entire Madison Garden was full of people!

That's the great thing about being in a big city. Despite the loss of the star Ewing, and despite the fact that Li Wei's operation was scolded for a whole offseason, the Knicks' home court is still full!

What, the team is sad that you don't watch the game, and you want to refund the ticket?

That's great, I can finally get a ticket, hahahaha!

Of course, there is another reason why tickets for this game are good - the Knicks' opponent is the Pistons!

Grant Hill of the Pistons is now the second most popular star in the league!

What, who, you ask, is the tallest one?

The Bulls have a guy surnamed Jordan, who is probably the tallest guy......

The reason why the word is used is because in Jordan's first season back, he led the Bulls to a 72-win season and still failed to become the All-Star ticket leader. The person with the most votes that year was Hill, and Old Man Joe could only settle for second.

Last season, Old Man Joe finally regained the ticket king, but Hill is still in full swing!

How good is Hill?

In the '96-97 season, he averaged 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.80 steals per game, and was the only player since Larry Bird and before Russell Westbrook to average more than 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

He is the undisputed No. 1 team in the league and third in the MVP selection behind the MVPs Carl Malone and Michael Jordan.

The head coach of the Pistons is Doug Collins, who used to coach Jordan and is very good.

It's just a pity that his successor, Phil Jackson, is so wicked that people only say, "Oh, that guy who has Jordan in his hand and is defeated every year?" My grandmother is better than him! ”

Now Collins doesn't have Jordan in his hands, but he has Jordan's successor, Hill, who led the team to 54 wins last season and is still ahead of the Hornets!

Pistons main guard Joe Dumas, well, Joe Dumas, who won the championship under Chuck Daly in the 80s and won the FMVP, strained in the game against the Wizards the day before yesterday, and he was replaced by substitute Malik Healy.

In his previous life, Malik Healy signed with the Timberwolves in '99 and became Garnett's good friend. A year later, he died in a car accident, and his No. 2 jersey became the Timberwolves' first retired jersey.
