Chapter 176: Battle Jones

Liang Xiao stood in the Madison Square Garden arena not once or twice, but this time, I felt a different kind of blood, because of the starter, because of how many days and nights of non-stop training, finally got to the starting position, maybe only this one starter, but everything was very comfortable, listening to the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans at the scene, Liang Xiao's whole body blood was like igniting,

Against the Heat, Liang Xiao stood on the basketball court with Harrington, Houston, Anderson and point guard Easley.

"This game is Liang Xiao's first start, seeing the surprise this player has brought to us this season, we should thank this player, and also thank all the Knicks players for giving us so many wonderful years, look at Liang's performance, today will definitely give us a different kind of excitement." The host at the scene watched Liang Xiao start on the court, and couldn't help but be as excited as all Knicks fans.

The viewers of various universities and broadcast TV stations in China also felt a wave of enthusiasm, as if they were here to watch the game, as if they were on the court, and felt very excited about Liang Xiao's start, in the NBA arena, Da Yao has already secured the starting position of the Rockets, Liang Xiao is now also waiting for the first start in Madison Square Garden, Chinese players have witnessed a miracle in the world's highest basketball league, or many teenagers later, when they are old, When your children watch the game, you will tell them that you have witnessed an era, how wonderful it feels.

"Qiangzi, Liang Xiao started today, did you know before this?" In the dormitory of Liang Xiao's sworn friend Zuo Qiang, a group of people are gathering in front of the TV and constantly discussing, although the court did not choose to broadcast the game live, but after Da Yao and Liang Xiao landed in the NBA, many domestic media have chosen to broadcast a lot of programs to broadcast the NBA, and such ratings cannot be compared with many programs.

"I don't know, they said, I think he wanted to surprise us in this game, and it was really unexpected." Zuo Qiang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Liang Xiao on TV, and responded to the group of gossip men in the dormitory, in fact, Liang Xiao didn't know that he would start in this game, although the current Knicks lineup is a little flawed, it is not necessarily Liang Xiao's start, like the last game, Liang Xiao is sitting on the bench, although Liang Xiao has not been rotated since he appeared, and the playing time has also created a new high, but it is not as attractive as the current starting position, In the last game, the domestic media only wrote a few words about Liang Xiao's performance, but this game will definitely be different, because the starter means that it has reached a different height.

Liang Xiao stood behind the middle circle, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, this game is a new height for himself, a new beginning,

The referee who blew this game is the famous NBA referee Joe Crawford, who has more than 20 years of whistle experience and has blown many classic games, but the most remembered appearance is his iconic bald head, and the referee has even published a biography.

The whistle of the "B" referee sounded, Harrington and the Heat center Brian Grant catapulted out at the same time, Harrington's arms were waving in the sky, Grant's braids were flying in the air, Liang Xiao had never felt such a beautiful scenery in the NBA, and watched the big palms of the two at the same time on the ball, but the stronger Harrington picked up the ball, and the ball rose again, but Grant's second bounce and tossed the ball to Eddie Jones in the back,

In this game, Liang Xiao is a scoring guard, Houston is mentioned to play the position of small forward, Anderson is in the big front, in fact, this game is still the same as before, a large and four small lineup, it is impossible to divide it in such detail, and the small man really can't be compared with the big man of the opponent's lineup.

"In this game, as soon as the Knicks came on the court, they changed the previous lineup and used a small lineup, look at the starting team of the Heat, Best is the point guard, the quarterback Jones, the small front Butler, the big forward position is Mark Allen, the center is Grant with a signature braid, in the lineup, the Knicks are obviously shorter and taller, I don't know if this game will give us unexpected results, whether the Knicks' new lineup will have a new miracle, we will wait and see." The on-site commentary said that at the beginning of the game, various broadcast media were discussing Liang Xiao's starting lineup and the Knicks' starting lineup.

Jones split the ball Best, and immediately raised the speed to advance to the frontcourt, this game, the Heat team under the command of Pat Riley, asked to sit on more passes, and also made a lot of requirements in the positional battle, for the Knicks lack of major generals, Riley is clear in his heart, you must know that the Knicks who suffered this loss in the last game, Riley will spare no effort to analyze the current Knicks, want to get a win on the road, since this season, two of the four games have been lost, If this game is still lost, you can only look forward to returning to the home court to get a win, but when the Knicks' main players are back on the court, it is difficult to say whether they can win, so this game must be won as soon as possible.

Liang Xiao quickly stood by Jones's side, facing this talented player, he really couldn't limit the other party, luck always didn't like this player in his previous life, and his desire for a championship would always make him fail at the end.

Eddie Jones made the first ball offensively, as the boss of the team, now the center Mourning is not there, and the era of king on the inside is now gone, so he has to choose to come by himself,

"Hey, rookie, be careful." As a veteran, Jones also studied Liang Xiao very much before the game, although he also played against Liang Xiao in the last two encounters, but it was a very short time, but Liang Xiao's good performance did not make the veteran get carried away, because Liang Xiao's performance has always been very good and stable.

Jones the ball in his left hand, stepping lightly left and right, and suddenly changed direction, the ball went back and forth in his hand like magic, and cut into the three-second zone on Liang Xiao's right hand.

"I won't let you succeed like this, this is my first start." Liang Xiao doesn't want to be played with by others in the first game, if the first game ends in defeat, what can I do in the later games, if I don't get it right, it will leave a shadow, Liang Xiao immediately moved sideways quickly, I don't know how many times this action was carried out during training, using his speed, Liang Xiao quickly stuck to Jones's side, so that Jones was like a person hanging on his body in the move,

But Jones's trick is not only such a trick, immediately stop the next jump shot, Liang Xiao is very experienced in jump shots, because he always uses such a move, Jones's idea was quickly recognized by Liang Xiao, after getting up, Jones found that Liang Xiao bounced very high, and Jones had no way to reluctantly send the ball out, it seemed that he was still careless, the ball knocked out of the frame, Harrington stretched his long arms and took the ball off,

After standing still, Harrington immediately looked for his teammates, this ball Liang Xiao defense is very good, but too devoted, this fast break can not catch up, Anderson in the opponent's big front defense, can only be out of reach, Anderson quickly drove into the frontcourt, a mid-range shot, the first record, the scene suddenly cheered,

Liang Xiao and Anderson high-fived to celebrate the ball, Liang Xiao's contribution is great, Anderson continues to encourage Liang Xiao next to him, as a veteran player, Liang Xiao's start this time is also a good care, after all, it is the first starter, as a teammate, such guidance on the field helps Liang Xiao's rapid growth, which is also a locker room culture, which is why many teams are willing to keep some experienced veteran players in the team, their role is not only to score on the field, but also to play an off-field role that cannot be underestimated,

It was the Heat's turn to attack again, this time it was Jones who launched an attack, but this time Jones didn't give Liang Xiao much of a chance, and directly hit a turnaround jumper on the inside, every young man has to pay tuition when he plays, and Liang Xiao can't avoid it.

In the next few attacks, Liang Xiao didn't get a lot of opportunities, Jones is also a very strong player on the defensive end, Liang Xiao paid a very big price, and even when Liang Xiao was a super back, Jones's block came from the side, and almost shot the ball out of Liang Xiao's hand, but fortunately, Liang Xiao's shot was very fast, but the crosshairs were gone, and finally hit the iron, Liang Xiao's routine was a little impatient under Jones's fierce pursuit, didn't get a good effect, but Liang Xiao is not a rookie who has just played to show himself, and he chooses to share the ball when he doesn't have a chance to shoot, creating more opportunities for his teammates, which is also a kind of calmness that Van Gundy has honed out in many previous games when he puts Liang Xiao on the point guard, not just scoring as the first means,

On the offensive end, Liang Xiao didn't gain much, but on the defensive end, Liang Xiao is very dedicated, and many times he seals Jones's angle, so that the old player can't tie Oh look at Liang Xiao, after all, in the first game, Liang Xiao still has to come up with his own means,

Soon the first quarter of the game ended, the Knicks entered the second quarter with a two-point advantage, Liang Xiao scored 6 points in the first quarter, but there were four points in the assist, but compared to Jones, Liang Xiao was still inferior, Jones got 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, and Jones was defeated.
