Before the game against the Magic, the Knicks held a championship ring awarding ceremony.

Bo Outlaw signed with the Magic in the summer, so he wasn't there when the championship ring was presented at the beginning of the season, and today he's coming to Madison Square Garden, and of course everyone has to make up for it.

Alan Houston made a cameo appearance as the host of the ceremony, took the microphone and asked, "Dabo, wearing the championship ring, are you happy?" ”

Bo Outlaw smiled: "Of course I'm happy, I've been looking forward to coming to the Knicks since the beginning of the season to play on the road, thank you to all the fans in New York, I love you, and thank you to my former teammates, thank you to Coach Lee, for letting me wear this championship ring!" ”

Madison Square Garden burst into thunderous applause.

The Magic's point guard was last season's Sixth Season and Most Improved Player Darrell Armstrong, the scoring guard was last season's Kings defensive stalwart Tariq Abdo Wahad, and the small forward was Monty Williams, who served as the head coach of the Hornets (Pelicans) after retiring from his previous life.

The Magic's power forward is Bo Outlaw, and the center is the second team of the All-Rookie Team in '98 in the previous life, but in this life he was squeezed out of the best rookie team by Nowitzki, Michael Doriac who is 2.11 meters.

As soon as the game started, the Magic team played well, on par with the Knicks.

Doug Rivers, the coach, although there are many black people in later generations, is really good in terms of coaching level. Of course, you can't compare him to Popovich and others, how many of the thousands of coaches around the world can compare to Popovich?

Although Rivers' level is high, the lineup is a little worse after all, and the final game is over, and the Magic team lost 106-109 away.

Li Wei played for a while in this game, but his performance was average. Doug Rivers told the whole team from the moment he came on the court, apparently trying to use Li Wei to chase points. And Magic point guard Armstrong, as a draft pick, can stand out because of his strong defense, and he is particularly careful to defend Li Wei.

After the game, Li Wei praised Doug Rivers and his Magic team, while talking about Rivers' contributions to the team as a Knicks player.

In the 92-93 season, the Knicks lost to the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the main point guard was Doug Rivers. In the 93-94 season, Pat Riley led the Knicks to the Finals, and finally lost to the Rockets 3:4, the main point guard should have been Doug Rivers, but unfortunately he was injured after playing 19 games, the season was reimbursed, and he failed to play in the playoffs, and the Knicks management had to urgently trade Derrick Harper to put out the fire.

All in all, Doug Rivers is also a person who has contributed to the Knicks, and Li Wei said that he is a natural conductor and is optimistic that he will become a generation of famous coaches.

Rivers also praised Li Wei, saying that Li Wei is so incredible both in the coach's seat and on the court, and he hopes to win the championship like Li Wei in the future.

On the 11th and 29th, the Knicks sat at home to face the Mavericks from afar.

The Dallas Mavericks, of course, are the Dallas Mavericks, and as mentioned earlier, the name of this team was previously inaccurately translated.

In his previous life, in 2017, the owner of the Mavericks, Mark Cuban, knew that the team's Chinese translation error was too large, so he voted online and chose the Lone Ranger as the team name from the three team names of Fierce Horse, Mad Horse and Lone Ranger.

In this life, Li Wei casually talked about this topic when he was chatting with Perrott Jr., the current owner of the Mavericks—Chinese fans are curious about why the Mavericks' icon is a horse, and Americans don't even know about cows and horses?

Little Perrot was speechless, so he contacted the Chinese side and hoped that they would correct the translation error. But how to translate the name of this team is another problem.

Li Wei thinks that they are most suitable to call Fierce Horse, not any Fierce Horse or Crazy Horse, but considering that another team in Texas is called the Spurs, wouldn't it be very powerful to translate it into Fierce Horse?

Isn't the spur used to tame the fiery horse?

Therefore, it is better to call the translated name of the lone ranger in the previous life.

At Li Wei's suggestion, this summer, the Mavericks' Chinese translation was officially changed to Mavericks, and Dazhi, who had just entered the NBA, also became a member of the Mavericks!

The Mavericks' away challenge to the Knicks has attracted a lot of attention at home because it is a matchup between two Chinese centers playing in the United States, and many fans have been up early in the morning in front of the TV and waiting for the game to begin.

Before the start of the game, the Knicks, of course, held another championship ring awarding ceremony, and this time it was Charlie Ward who got the ring.

Although they failed to get Nowitzki, after some trades, the Mavericks' lineup is not weak, and their main center is Big Z.

In the 98-99 season of his previous life, after playing 5 games, Big Z fractured the scaphoid bone in his left foot and was reimbursed for the season. In the 99-00 season, he did not play a single game, continued the season and underwent surgery for a broken scaphoid on January 26 of '00.

In the 00-01 season, he fractured his scaphoid again after playing 24 games, and on February 7, 01, he underwent surgery to repair the scaphoid fracture in his left foot, missing all 58 games of the season.

In the 01-02 season, he still missed 17 games due to a left foot injury!

Lots of injuries!

A genius who was supposed to be a superstar spent the first half of his career in a hospital bed!

In this life, after the Knicks, 76ers, and Mavericks tossed and turned, Da Z's fate did not continue to hurt and doubt his life like in his previous life, and after recuperating for more than half a year, his foot injury has healed and he can play with the team.

The Mavericks' power forward is Big Mom Larry Johnson, small forward is Michael Finley, the shooting guard is an undrafted pick named Eric Strickland, and the playmaking guard is Charlie Ward.

Compared with the previous life, although they lack Nowitzki and Nash, the combination of Finley + Big Z should not be underestimated, and Charlie Ward is also an excellent player, not to mention that there is a big aunt next to him.

However, in this game, the Knicks pressed the Mavericks from the beginning.

Although the lineup of the Heroes is theoretically good, but Auntie, Charlie Ward and others are all new to this season and need to run in, if they encounter a weak team, they may be able to win with their individual ability, but against a strong team like the Knicks, it will be too difficult to play.

The Mingzhi duel that the audience in the motherland is looking forward to actually has two rounds. Dazhi appeared as a substitute inside line for the Mavericks, and at the beginning of the confrontation against Big Ben, Li Wei saw that he was very uncomfortable defended by Big Ben, so he replaced Nesterovich.

At the end of the game, Dazhi played a total of 18 minutes, made 3 of 8 shots, scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.

Da Yao broke out a little in this game, scoring 20 points and 6 boards. It's a pity that the opposite big Z won 22 points and 10 boards, and in terms of personal strength alone, it is indeed the current big Z who is stronger.

The final score was 102-117, and the Knicks, playing at home, won.

Li Wei invited Dazhi to his home for a guest, but unfortunately he didn't have time, the Mavericks will face the Cavaliers back-to-back tomorrow, and they will rush to Cleveland.

"Dazhi, play hard, I believe you can gain a foothold in the NBA!" Li Weidao.

Dazhi said: "Coach Li, don't worry, I must make achievements and not disgrace the people of the motherland!" ”
