Chapter 52: I haven't met the main lord yet

Today's second update, there are still 32 to 150 votes of recommended votes, everyone come on, and I will update the fourth chapter.

The game against the Knicks was a home game, and the Magic were in Orlando, and the Knicks arrived in Orlando a day later.

At the airport, a reporter relayed Jonny's words to Alan Houston.

"He's a normal player, am I a star player?" Hearing Jonny's words, which were relayed by reporters, Alan Houston's face turned cold. Alan Houston thinks highly of himself, especially after he accepted a multimillion-dollar contract from the Knicks this summer.

And Jonny's so-called letting Alan Houston know the gap between ordinary players and star players made Alan Houston feel a little ashamed, he never felt that Jonny could be compared to him, let alone that Jonny thought he was a head above him.

"No, he must have meant that he was a star player." The reporter continued to provoke, and he wanted to hear Alan Houston's more energetic words.

"He's just a big talker." Alan Houston made ridiculous movements, shaking his head constantly.

"Hey, journalists, what are you talking about?" Seeing Alan Houston standing in front of a group of reporters and not leaving, Jeff Van Gundy walked up.

"Nothing." Alan Houston shook his head, he didn't have a good relationship with Jeff Van Gundy, he played nine games this season and was in terrible form, Alan Houston put it all down to Jeff Van Gundy's tactics.

However, Alan Houston was reluctant to say it, but the reporters were very willing, and some reporters immediately said the reason: "The rookie of the Magic team thinks Alan Houston is an ordinary player, and he himself is a star player, and he said that he will make Alan Houston feel the gap between the two in the next game." ”

Jeff Van Gundy then understood, he held his chin and thought about it, although he didn't like Alan Houston as a player, but in front of the media, he still had to speak for his player.

"Then I'll think that rookie is talking big, Alan Houston got a multi-million contract, he's a famous star player in the league." Jeff Van Gundy said lightly, and then looked at Alan Houston, as if he wanted to see gratitude in Alan Houston's eyes.

But Alan Houston just showed a smile, grateful? What's that? Alan Houston will not be grateful to Jeff Van Gundy, and now Alan Houston, what he has always hoped is that the Knicks can change coaches.

And without Alan Houston's gratitude, Jeff Van Gundy didn't have any expression, and then beckoned Alan Houston to get on the bus, and they had to go to Amway Arena to get used to the venue, and they were going to play in the afternoon.

And Jeff Van Gundy's words for his players outside the airport naturally reached the ears of the Magic, for Jeff Van Gundy's words, Brian Hill did not react, of course he could not say that Jeff Van Gundy and Alan Houston were right, but in fact, Brian Hill still thought so in his heart.

Therefore, when the Knicks' words kept belittling Jonny came, the Magic didn't have any coaches and executives to stand up and help Jonny speak, until Ricky Adubatu couldn't stand it anymore, and then the Magic people spoke for Jonny.

"In the current NBA, there are too many players with bad contracts, and it has been a while since the start of the season, and Alan Houston's performance is not worthy of this contract at all, but Jonny, his performance, even if he is given a bigger contract, is deserved, so it is very obvious who is a star player and who is an ordinary player."

Ricky Adhubatu's words are very targeted, Alan Houston learned Richie Adubatu's words, and was silent for a long time, he has indeed not performed well for a long time, and Richie Adumbatu directly punctured this point, which actually made Alan Houston even more disgusted with Jeff Van Gundy.

The afternoon game started quickly, and the Amway Arena was still full, and the fans were very happy to cheer, but Jonny couldn't be happy, he failed to start again, and it seemed that the outstanding performances of several games in a row still could not help him get this seemingly easy starting position.

However, at this time, Nick Anderson has already felt the crisis, the crisis from Jonny Lee, originally he felt that the one who could threaten his starting position would be Gerald Wilkins, who was deeply injured last season and finally healthy this season, but as soon as Jonny appeared, Gerald Wilkins became the third substitute on the scoring guard, making Nick Anderson's own starting position in jeopardy.

If it weren't for Coach Bryan Hill's dislike of that Asian so much, maybe his starting spot would have been gone a long time ago. Nick Anderson has a lot of urgency in his heart, and he wants to put on a good performance in this game.

And his goal is Alan Houston. It is said that this kid has not been doing very well in recent times? Nick Anderson touched his chin, and it was a godsend.

Alan Houston was still staring at Jonny, who was depressed off the court, with a vicious gaze, he didn't know that he had been used as a stepping stone by another player.

The game started quickly, and Jonny failed to start, which made Alan Houston's heart secretly happy, and he couldn't wait to say: "Look, are you a star player?" How can a star player not even be able to start? ”

However, Alan Houston didn't have time to be happy, and a head suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Boy, this game, wash your chrysanthemums and wait for me!" Nick Anderson shook off a sentence and then stood in his place waiting for the jump ball, ignoring Alan Houston's suspicious and angry eyes.

Jumping ball, Bryan Hill made a change in this game, he took Ronny Secali from the starting position, and then put David Vaughn in the start, let Horris Grant go to the center position, and defend Patrick Ewing.

In the jump ball, Horris Grant naturally lost to Patrick Ewing, and the Knicks got the ball.

At this time, the Knicks are still one of the strongest teams in the league, they have undergone a change of coach last season, and they can still rank in the top four in the East, and at the beginning of this season, their performance was also very strong, 7-2 in 9 games, although the newly introduced strong reinforcement Alan Houston is not in good shape, but overall the Knicks still showed an extremely hot winning state.

Before this game, they had won 5 in a row, and the Magic also won 4 in a row, so after this game, there must be a team that will end their winning streak, and neither side wants to lose it, so from the beginning, the game was very intense, they fought for the ball every time on the court, and they did not give in.

Alan Houston got the ball, Nick Anderson looked at Alan Houston very nervously, this game he not only had to beat Alan Houston on the offensive end, but also made Alan Houston completely unable to find the rhythm of the shot on the defensive end.

Alan Houston is nicknamed the king of mid-range shooting, as the name suggests, his mid-range shooting is very powerful, as an excellent shooter, Alan Houston's breakthrough is a little poor, so Nick Anderson's defensive style is also very simple, defending Alan Houston's shooting.

Alan Houston made a few feints to shake off Nick Anderson, but you see Anderson was unmoved, he knew that Alan Houston's hand movements were all deceptive, and the place where Alan Houston could really see his next move was Alan Houston's feet.

As a textbook shooting posture of Alan Houston, every shot he takes is textbook, which makes Alan Houston's shooting very easy to predict, just stare at Alan Houston's footsteps.

Alan Houston was helpless, he couldn't find space to shoot, and could only pass the ball out again.

Now the Knicks' starting point guard is called Charlie Ward, but this point guard is just a point guard who plays a soy sauce role, and his ability to organize and pass the ball is average, so there is no playmaker in the Knicks' lineup, and Aunt Larry Johnson got the ball, and he went it alone.

This is the offensive tactic that the Knicks often use right now - go it alone, and Jeff Van Gundy is a coach who is good at tuning defense, but offense is something that Jeff Van Gundy is not very good at, especially since this team does not have a good playmaker.

Larry Johnson's solo didn't score, the rebound was picked up by Patrick Ewing, and the gorilla was directly a violent dunk and succeeded, and it seems that Brian Hill's setup didn't play a role.

And immediately after, Nick Anderson asked for the ball from Anfernee Hardaway to face the Alan Houston defense.

Alan Houston is not much of a defensive point guard, his defense is not very good, and for Nick Anderson's subsequent rush into the interior with the help of David Vaughn's block, Alan Houston can only watch in vain as Nick Anderson hits a close-range shot after hitting a breakaway.

On the first ball, Nick Anderson won the match against Alan Houston!

And then, Alan Houston once again under the defense of Nick Anderson, missed the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, in order to show his value, Nick Anderson is very desperate every time he attacks and defends.

Poor Alan Houston, who has not yet met the main master he really wants to deal with, seems to be showing signs of being blown up.
