Chapter 105: New Season

Lebanon, who had already played each other before, defeated hosts Qatar in the semi-finals and joined China again in the finals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Lebanon was more daring than in the quarterfinals, and it also caused trouble for the Chinese team in a short period of time.

However, Li Hai continued to hit to help the team stabilize its position, and with Yao Ming in charge of the inner line, they still killed the opponent without blood, making the Chinese team the king for the 14th time.

China, Lebanon and Qatar, who finished in the top three of the Asian Championships, qualified for the 2006 World Championships, and after the host RB completed the national team mission, Li Hai did not stop long and returned to New York.

He brought some souvenirs and went straight to visit Marbury's house.

Marbury was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you kid to have this heart, it seems that the Asian Championships are playing well." ”

"If I don't stammer, how will I mess around in New York in the future."

After a few jokes, Lehi got down to business, "Stephen, introduce me to a great trainer, we can help the Knicks go one step further next season." ”

"That's fine." Lehi's attitude was very appetizing to Marbury.

Although there have been rumors, Lehi knows that Marbury will not immediately Knicks for the time being, and if the Knicks want to achieve good results, his relationship with Marbury cannot be bad.

Marbury was a family man, and Lehi planned to build a good relationship with the other family.

He is a little utilitarian, but after actual contact, he really developed a friendship with Marbury's family, especially Marbury's father, the old man knew that Lehi was a person in New York, so he told him to go over, Lehi and Marbury's temper was actually quite right, and slowly the relationship between him was getting better and better.

Lehi signed a new contract, a few more ads, and his life suddenly became richer, and he was willing to spend money on trainers, and only by becoming stronger could he help the Knicks make waves next season.

Before the team's training camp began, the Knicks finally threw a big shot.

The Bulls traded Eddie Curry (sign-and-trade) and Antonio Davis for the Knicks' Tim Thomas, Michael Sweetney, Jermaine Jackson (sign-and-trade) and two second-round picks from 2007 and 2009 and a conditional 2006 first-round pick. In addition, the Bulls can also conditionally trade with the Knicks for a 2007 first-round pick.

Although Eddie Curry is so-so on the defensive end, he has a reputation as a "little shark" on the offensive end.

This trade has solved the problem of the Knicks center.

Next, the Knicks signed free agent Matt Barnes with a base salary.

Through drafts, trades, and free agent signings, the Knicks are now arguably strong, at least with a lot more people to play than they did last season.

Regardless, the Knicks' general manager, Isaiah Thomas, is ambitious.

Through the summer league grind, this year's four rookies, Nate Robinson, Channing Frye, David Lee, and Sheen Gortat, were all endorsed by the team and all signed.

Coupled with the new signings and the players who have been traded, the Knicks have changed their lineup again.

However, this summer, the relationship between Lehi and Marbury has gone further, and there are two people who are pressing, even players like Eddie Curry, who have made a name for themselves and have a bit of a grumpy temper, dare not mess around.

Head coach Larry Brown is also demanding, especially defensively, and has an appetite for Lehi.

The old man returned to coach his hometown team with great ambitions, and Lehi deliberately communicated with him a few times individually, and Larry Brown, although a bit of a temper, saw many problems clearly.

He made it clear that for the Knicks to play their most attacking power, Crawford would have to play the team's sixth man.

Lehi was a little puzzled why, with Larry Brown's level of business, would make a big deal with the Knicks.

But now that the Knicks are there, they can't allow such a thing to happen.

The Knicks' 4-3 record in the preseason isn't great, but the core players like Lehi and Marbury didn't play too long last season.

The media has been skeptical about the Knicks' performance this summer, and on the surface they have gotten stronger, but in fact the players they have recruited don't match Larry Brown's defensive philosophy, and with the rise of Lehi, their ball is getting less and less scored.

"Coach Larry Brown has a way to improve our defense, the Knicks have undoubtedly gotten stronger, and when the season goes on, you won't be asking me that stupid question."

"Long appointment? I don't know what you're trying to say, all I want is victory. ”

"The tone is the same as Marbury's? Come on, we only have the same determination to lead the team to victory. ”

In the face of media reporters, Lehi became tougher.

The Knicks' training hasn't been going well during this time, with Larry Brown emphasizing that not all players understand that tough discipline is not understood by all players, and that the team needs wins as a lubricant.

In November, the new NBA season began, and the Knicks' first game was against the Celtics.

The Celtics had a decent regular season last season, but they softened in the playoffs.

This led to a big change in their lineup, they decisively gave up Anthony Walker, almost to the Heat, and Gary Payton also went to the Heat to hug the thigh.

They used last year's rookie Delonte West and straightened Ricky Davis to give him and Pierce the Knicks' outside firepower.

The Knicks' main lineup has also changed dramatically, with only Marbury and Lehi remaining as starters last year.

Their current starting five are: Marbury at No. 1, Quentin Richardson at No. 2, Lehi at No. 3, Antonio Davis at No. 4, and Eddie Curry at No. 5.

Quentin Richardson was also a big player with the Suns last year, Antonio Davis was the head coach's favorite blue-collar player, and Eddie Curry is undoubtedly the interior player that the Knicks are looking forward to.

As soon as the game started, Pierce showed a strong fighting spirit and hit Lehi with his back after receiving the ball.

Lehi secretly said that it was just in time, he had spent this summer in constant training, and he had improved compared to last season, and it was best to have Pierce come and test it.

After Pierce sat down twice, he turned around and made a shooting motion, trying to trick Lehi into fouling, but Lehi was not fooled, but just stuck his position firmly.

Pierce was forced to turn around and force his shot, and the result was an iron.

The Knicks quickly counterattacked, Marbury still habitually sent it to the side, although Crawford was still off the court, but Quentin Richardson also made a three-point decisive shot after receiving the ball, and the Knicks scored first.
