Chapter 231: Illusion
The Knicks' training match is considered a success, the run-in of the lineup is not a matter of one or two days, now there is no official start of a game, it can't be said which is good or bad, the last game is the best proof, all speculation is floating clouds, Liang Xiao also thinks so, nothing is more important than the Knicks have really played two games, New York reporters are more powerful than anyone else, the playoffs are a piece of cake, the championship is not a problem, and words such as Yunyun are circulating in major media, In fact, the biggest pressure is the head coach of the Knicks, Van Gundy, now there are good players, these depend on how he uses these people well, if this can not achieve a good result, it is likely to threaten his head coach position,
The Knicks welcomed the first game after the lineup change at home as scheduled, the opponent of this game was the Golden State Warriors, this team didn't know when such an impression was formed in Liang Xiao's head, that is, the fast and fast offense, that is, the so-called running and bombing, for such an impression or it comes down to the old Nelson coming to this team, but the current old Nelson is still in the Mavericks, and the current Warriors are far less powerful than Liang Xiao saw in the previous life, and there is no such gorgeous performance, The members of that team who ran and bombed now don't know which teams are scattered.
The current Warriors, in the previous life, achieved a record of 38 wins and 44 losses this season, which shows that the current Warriors can be described by two words, head coach Eric Mosel is a head coach who is not known by many people, but several of the current Warriors starters are rising stars in the future, the most atmospheric player is Gilbert Arenas, the name of the general is not boasted, the big heart is everywhere, and the style of agent 0 is very sharp,
The game between the Knicks and the Warriors was held in Madison Square Garden, the arena was crowded, and after the Knicks were adjusted to the player lineup, many fans were very much looking forward to the Knicks being able to play a beautiful game, and they were looking forward to the Knicks going further in the season.
"The Knicks should win this game, why, now the Knicks' lineup is amazing, it can be said to be a luxury-level configuration, there is no team with such a high-level configuration as the Knicks, just look at their salary."
"That's the case, Marbury is more than 10 million, Van Horn is more than 10 million, Sprewell is more than 10 million, maybe Liang Xiao, the starter, is a very low salary in the whole league, the base salary contract, tens of millions of players in the Knicks, such a lineup is indeed luxurious."
"Let's see if this luxury team can win in the league."
"There is still some hope against the Warriors, and there should be no problem for Liang Xiao in such a game, and the Knicks' point guard and interior have been supplemented, and there will be no problems with such a lineup."
For the Knicks' strong lineup in this game, major media are discussing, and it can be seen from the player's salary that the Knicks want to win this game, why, the Warriors' tens of millions of players are only one person, that is, Antoine Jamison,
The game officially began, and the Knicks' starters in this game are: center Van Horne, big forward Thomas, small front Sprewell, point guard Liang Xiao, point guard Marbury, can be described as an extremely luxurious lineup, but compared to other teams, especially with O'Neal and Garnett, the team is still not comparable, others are one top two or even three or four, if compared with Liang Xiao, dozens are okay, but the salary does not represent ability, Liang Xiao has a salary of hundreds of thousands, But the things that are done are definitely more than 10 million things,
The Warriors' starting lineup is definitely bullish if it is placed in the league later, center Eric Dampier, big front Troy Murphy, small front Antoine Jamison, point guard Jason Richardson, point guard Gilbert Arenas, and later when these people grow into bulls in the league, such a lineup is absolutely out of control, that is, Jamison and Arenas, in the later Washington Wizards, the two became one of the few All-Stars in the history of the Washington Wizards, which shows the power of the two, Liang Xiao remembers that in his previous life, when Arenas, Jamison, and Butler were on the Wizards, how powerful the Wizards were.
Liang Xiao was officially established as the main force of the team, it can be said that he is now an indispensable part of the Knicks, and now he has traded Houston from the Knicks, leaving a younger Liang Xiao, which shows Liang Xiao's status in the minds of the Knicks' top management.
The middle circle jump ball, as a big forward Van Horn, is definitely not an orthodox center opponent, at least it is difficult to say in the jump ball, but for a team, there are many teams that can still play without a center, although they did not win on this jump ball, but they can't deny Van Horn's ability, at least it is much better than what Dampier, in his previous life, Liang Xiao knew that Dampier was a coward, and when he was on the Mavericks, he claimed to be the best center in the West, ranked Da Yao and O'Neal behind him, but when he really met Da Yao, he didn't score more than ten points, and he only had six rebounds, and he may claim that he is the best center in the West because he got a contract of tens of millions in the Mavericks, and he began to sell melons and boast about himself, but he didn't know that the Mavericks just took a fancy to the defensive ability of this guy, and only a guy like Cuban would take out a contract of tens of millions.
In the opening two minutes, Van Gundy called a timeout, why, the Knicks' results had to let him call this timeout, the Knicks' lineup and the results played really can't match, don't talk about the inside, let's just say the outside, Jamison and Richardson The two guys scored four three-pointers in the Knicks' outside line at once, the Knicks are here, Marbury and Liang Xiao on the outside have scored, but one person has three points and one person has four points, the Knicks's inside line is one word, rotten, Van Horn looked a little uncomfortable in the face of Dampier's defense, I don't know if it was because of the change of team or his own character was too weak, in his previous life, Van Horn was a little uncomfortable in the face of Dampier's defense, and he once seemed to have gorgeous data and insufficient effect.
Van Gundy was very dissatisfied with the Knicks' lineup, and once complained that everyone didn't use their own skills, and even wondered in his heart whether the current replacement personnel was right, at least the Knicks in front of him were not what they are now, and they were six points behind in the coming time, which was only a few minutes.
Back on the court, the Knicks' players don't seem to have woken up, first of all, here in Marbury, Marbury is facing Arenas today, these two people are really a little-for-tat against Maimang's consciousness, it's no wonder that Marbury's performance today is not good, plus Arenas's ability is very strong, although there is no money when he was strong when he was with the Wizards, but the current general is really a year of rise, in the previous life, 2003 was when the general won the fastest progress award, It shows the growth and ability of Arenas,
And then it's the madman in the small front position, today's performance can be described as disappearing, at least on the offensive end, the performance really hasn't seen two feasible breakthroughs, in the face of Jamison, his means are like hiding, I can't help but say that Jamison is now a high-quality forward in the league, in terms of scoring ability, long-range shooting and backbasket sideways half-hook hand, which is difficult for a madman to parry, in defense Jamison's body is a strong type, and the madman didn't find his direction for a while,
Needless to say, Dampier limited Van Horn's play, plus Van Horn's lineup run-in in the Knicks was not in place, and it was weak in the confrontation, which made Dampier play a majestic role under the basket, and Thomas only limited Troy Murphy, the white power forward, and the threat to Thomas was not small.
Liang Xiao himself is also a little at a loss, although in the front, Liang Xiao also played as a starter for the Knicks, but the mentality at that time and the current mentality are completely different, in the past, the sky fell and Houston was on top, and now the sky is falling on his head, and he has repeatedly said to himself that he must keep a normal heart, but when it comes to this juncture, it is not the case.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the performance of the Knicks can only be described as rotten, not to mention how strong the Knicks are, that is, the Warriors are now a youth army, and they are definitely a team in the league that is hovering in the level of bad teams, the Knicks actually scored 9 points after the first quarter, which made Van Gundy keep shouting on the courtside on the court, and even in the back, let Anderson replace the madman who disappeared for a long time, but the team did not gain anything from the outside, which made Van Gundy trust,
When he was off the field, Van Gundy was angry at the players, and he could only express this kind of performance in words, but he couldn't be too aggressive, after all, this was the first game after the lineup was changed, so he couldn't be harsh, Van Gundy thought in his heart, the following will be good, and he will be able to play a beautiful game, holding the tactical board in his hand and constantly telling the players to run and other issues,
The fans and commentators on the sidelines were a little disappointed with this game, they thought this game was a massacre, but they didn't expect it to be the end of capsizing in the gutter, which has to be surprising, this is an illusion, is it a weakness to the opponent or the Knicks are a weak team, a weak team that can't turn over, can't go back to the Ewing era,
