Chapter 6: The First Commemoration
"What's wrong? Gong Feng, are you still not happy that you have already scored six points? Happy Qua Mei asked Gong Feng, who was a little depressed.
"I just took advantage of my youth, and if Mark was three years younger, I wouldn't have even had a three-point chance." In the face of Mark's defense, Gong Feng was a little overwhelmed, Gong Feng's sense of rhythm when attacking, and the route of the organization were clearly seen, except for the three-point shooting, Gong Feng can be said to be completely blown up by the old Mark.
"Youth is our capital, right? Besides, you are an attacking player with the ball, and you have the help of others, but you are far from attacking alone, so you have to have confidence in yourself. I'm going to rely on you to score in the second quarter, and getting a double-double in the first game is my goal, how about it? Support buddy no? ”
"Of course." Looking at Brown's excited appearance, Gong Feng couldn't disappoint the fun, "Then I should win two doubles to pay tribute to my first game." In the second quarter of the game, the opponent will definitely change Osara, this is a good blue-collar player, the offensive ability is not bad, you are in a position with him, but be careful. ”
"Don't worry, the first quarter was just a warm-up for me." Kwamei even said with some excitement.
Sure enough, in the second quarter, the Knicks made adjustments, O'Sara, Charlie Ward, replaced Mark and Spencer.
Most of the NBA teams in this era are 7 or 8 people in rotation, although the roster is still twelve, but the athletes' athletic degree cannot be compared with the present, because it is mostly due to the half-court offense, the players' physical fitness is guaranteed to a certain extent, and it is still the era of the interior line.
In this era, not to mention Curry, a player who seems to be very rare now, is that there are very few players who focus on offense at point guard, and the bearded Davis can be an All-Star with a lot to do with this now. Point guards are mostly represented by organization, of course, there are still a lot of brainless offenses, but at least the guards of playoff teams are mostly organization-oriented, and Fisher of the Lakers is a scarce resource.
Today's outside three-point shooters are just as valuable as good insiders.
But now it's still the last of the big four, that is, the era of the inside line.
The Knicks' offense in the second quarter started with Harrington's outside shot, and it's fun to have such a demon in Van Gundy Jr.'s team, isn't it?
Gong Feng holds the ball to face Ward's defense, if in terms of single defense, although Ward is also a very old guard, he is much stronger than Mark, as a Knicks guard in the 90s, the guard who competed with Jordan under Pakleli, although he was also a substitute at the time, but his own strength should not be underestimated,
Because Ward was the last player left in the iron-blooded Knicks system of that era, and he belonged to the memory of that era.
However, because of his age, Ward can't escape the circle of this time, but it's a little interesting to deal with Gong Feng alone.
It's a pity that Ward's teammates don't have Ewing, no Big Mom Larry Johnson, no muscular Anthony Mason Jr., no Oakley.
Kwamei took the initiative to step forward to block and dismantle, Gong Feng broke through on the right side, Harrington followed, Kwamei went straight to the basket inside, and received Gong Feng's pass directly into an aerial relay slam dunk, with Ward's figure and speed could not keep up with Kwamei.
It was Kwame for the first time in the regular season.
In the second quarter, the Knicks had no way to face the blocking and dismantling of Gong Feng and Kwame, the double bag was useless for Gong Feng, the ball had already been passed out at the moment of the bag, and Kwame, who received the ball, either directly hit the basket or passed to the inside to score, White has scored 4 points in this quarter because of this offense.
"Jordan's players actually played pick-and-roll offense? How does this make the Jazz feel when they see it? The performance of the two rookies in the second quarter directly made this game no suspense, Jordan didn't even have to play, even when he was on the court, he didn't deprive the two rookies of the chemistry and directly became a shooter. ”
"It's not that the Knicks haven't thought of a way, but the Wizards went directly to Lightner, Jordan, and Hamilton, all three of whom have the ability to shoot, and in the face of the Knicks' joint defense or packing, one of them soon had a hole in the defense."
"In this game, the Knicks were very poorly prepared, and it seems that the media said that Van Gundy Jr.'s coaching problems were not groundless, underestimating the strength of the two rookies on the court, and even thinking that the two would directly dominate the team as the core...... Did I say in the preseason, did the Wizards show that hand? ”
"I don't remember, it can't be that Collins did it on purpose, right? But looking at the Wizards' constant substitutions, I think Collins should be surprised too. ”
Yes, Collins was surprised by the performance of the two rookies, and in this game, Kwame did not show the slightest ability to play alone, and he had already got a double-double, or a big double-double, and had two assists.
For Gong Feng's performance, he was even more surprised, after being targeted by Mark at the beginning, he actually relied on the direct assist of blocking and dismantling to get a double, and it became very easy to score, and he had no ability to play against the outside, but against the Knicks' inside, Gong Feng was more than enough, and he didn't look like a rookie at all.
In the end, Collins just replaced the main force according to the normal rotation, and this team went directly to another level, which is already very clear, not to mention Kwamei's talent and ability to cooperate, just to say that Gong Feng's performance here gave Collins a new meaning.
"It actually directly raised the potential value of the team?" It's really an interesting rookie, someone said very unexpectedly when they watched Gong Feng's performance during the broadcast.
……
"Mir, it seems you're right. Now start looking for a deal, the Knicks will only sink if they go on like this, I'll give you three years, and I want to see results. One of the people watching the game in the box said to his son.
"I won't let you down, father." The listener replied very calmly, or rather he replied very absent-mindedly.
"Kwame Brown and Bow Peak? What combination is this set? Where did it come from, not to mention that Kwame's performance is so strong, the ability and performance of this Gong Feng alone make me feel a little itchy and rare, and it can actually improve the potential value of everyone on the team in a short period of time, which is the ability of a top point guard. Even if the team members are all people who have already become famous, this kind of strength is also very rare! ”
Kwame Brown played 34 minutes this time and got a super double-double of 20 points and 20 rebounds, it is worth mentioning that Kwame actually had 4 assists, although they were all empty scores, it can also be seen how wide Kwame's vision is.
Gong Feng played 34 minutes and scored 15 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 5 turnovers, including 3 of 5 three-point shots, and performed very well.
As Jordan's first regular-season game of his comeback, the performance of the two rookies can be said to steal some of the limelight from Jordan. As the first game of the respective NBA regular season, it was another extremely impressive game, and a game to remember for the two newcomers, and a game worth remembering for a lifetime.
"Jordan's comeback in the first game, beating the Knicks by 20 points"
"The first debut of the Wizards rookie, a complete victory"
The New York Knicks are the only basketball team in the core area of New York, and New York is the core of the United States, and even the focus of the world.
This is why Old Man Qiao talked to the two like that at the beginning, and it also shows how rare the start of this game is.
Now it is a good time for the two to get the results, and now the two must have left their names in some of the media that reported on them.
There was no time for the two to celebrate, and there was no time for the two to buffer, so they had to travel to Atlanta the next day and challenge the Hawks on November 1.
That's what the NBA is all about, it's easy to get good stats once, it's relatively easy to get a second time, but it's only after your team has a certain level of success that you're remembered by the fans, even Jordan.
