On October 5, 2009, the NBA 09-10 preseason officially began, and the New York Knicks also sat in Madison Square Garden to usher in the first opponent of the preseason, the Los Angeles Clippers of the new champion Blake Griffin. The former has last year's Rookie of the Year, and the latter has this year's No. 1 Pick, and this game is full of topics.

However, history still follows its original trajectory, and before the game, the Clippers came out with bad news, and the team's long-awaited champion Lang Griffin was unfortunately injured in an intra-team training session, and then after an MRI examination, he was diagnosed with a fracture of the left patella, and it is clear that there is no hope for the preseason.

Even worse than the original history, according to the original trajectory, Griffin should have been injured in the preseason game against the Hornets, and then after a period of recovery, he finally chose to undergo surgery, and the rookie season of the champion was officially declared reimbursed. However, it can be seen that he still played a few pre-season games, but now, he was injured before the pre-season started, how sad it is.

The Clippers' first preseason game was deflated by the sudden tragedy of the Clippers, who fielded the starting lineup of Chris Kaman, Marcus Kaby, Ricky Davis, Eric Gordon and Byron Davis, almost exactly the same as last season, and it can be said that the Clippers have done little this summer other than the champions.

On the Knicks' side, on the contrary, the original lineup was overturned, and the Knicks completely abandoned the original goal of "all for 2010" and changed to the Big Apple as the core of the team, and they have almost undergone earth-shaking changes, compared to the beginning of last season, there are few old people left in this team.

Chandler, David Lee, Li Chen, Hughes, Curry, D'Antoni sent a lineup that did not surprise the experts, and it is true that Hughes is more suitable to be in the starting lineup than Battier, and he is more passionate than Batman.

However, D'Antoni as a coach has more to consider than the experts, and for the sake of balance, he chose Hughes, who is one of the old men, over the newcomer Battier, otherwise four of the starting five are all newcomers, and the few remaining veteran players in the team will definitely have some opinions.

Now, not to mention the reasonable combination of the lineup, there will be no problems in the relationship between the players, which can be described as the best of both worlds. Seriously, coaching is really not a simple errand, after all, there are only a few people like the old monk who let go of power and watch from the sidelines, and more coaches are still like Jeff Van Gundy who is desperate for the team.

"Hey, guys! Do the cheerleading beauties in Staples miss me? "They are all acquaintances, and Li Chen went up to say hello very enthusiastically.

The bearded man stepped forward and hugged Li Chen, "Li, I heard that you made a lot of money in one summer, how about it, no matter how we say it, we were also half teammates, as the host, are you responsible for taking us to experience the customs of New York!" ”

What is half a teammate, sharing a stadium is half a teammate. Li Chen helped his head, he and the Clippers players are not very familiar, but everyone has often met at the Staples Center, and they will say hello when they meet for a long time.

The bearded man is the best one among them, because the surname is the same, the two also left each other's phone numbers, and when Li Chen won the MVP championship in the finals last season, the bearded man also called a congratulatory message as soon as possible.

"I've heard of the tragedy of your champion!" Li Chen asked like a curious baby, "Won't it be your hidden big killer, I'm going to let him shock the world in the first regular season game and get a 4020!" ”

The bearded man rolled his eyes, "You think it's the finals, and there is a big killer hidden in it, that kid is also unlucky, he can be injured in training, and I don't want to see him play in the last two months." ”

The beard felt a little sad at the thought of his team's situation, "Obviously, if nothing else, we can get a good place in the lottery again!" ”

"Congratulations!" Li Chen joked, "We are not as lucky as you, it is estimated that we will not have the right to draw lots in the end, the one waiting for the alliance to assign!" ”

Ricky Davis came out of nowhere, he and Li Chen have a general relationship, but because of the relationship between the two of them, the two have said a lot, but they are basically on the field.

"Want to make the playoffs? What about you when you were still with the Lakers? Look at the words on your jersey, you're in the 10,000-year-old Knicks, don't take the bottom three to be considered very good! ”

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, "Let's worry about you first, I heard that your first game of the regular season was against the Lakers." After saying that, he pretended to gloat and said, "I really don't know how the alliance arranged, don't they think you are pitiful enough?" ”

It is not appropriate to talk too much, since it is the opponent, the victory or defeat should be decided by the field.

Chandler's jump shot overwhelmed the aging Camby, and the Knicks got the tee-off. Curry, who made his NBA debut on the court, carefully took the ball across the half court and handed it to Li Chen.

Because it was the first game, D'Antoni didn't have any tactics, of course, it may be that he didn't have time to arrange tactics because of time constraints, in short, he wanted to let the players play freely in today's game, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if the big apple was really as smart as the legend said.

The game saw the first matchup, with the Big Apple facing Ricky Davis. Without any nonsense, Li Chen was ready to give this guy a dismount.

Bending his knees and speeding up, the Big Apple was like a broken bow and arrow, and in an instant he got rid of the aging Ricky Davis, and went straight to the inside.

"Impossible! How can it be so fast? Davis muttered to himself, Li Chen's speed was completely beyond his expectations, and for a moment, he seemed to have the illusion that he was defending James.

Yes, it's James, Li Chen's current speed is close to James, and there is not much difference in strength, at least Ricky Davis can't feel the difference. In his opinion, the current Li Chen is as unstoppable as James.

Like Ricky Davis, who was surprised by the speed of the Big Apple and the rest of the Clippers, Chris Carman was about to rush to make up for the defense, but before he could stand in his position, Li Chen flew past him. The moment the two made contact, Carman felt the tremendous force coming from his opponent's body, so arrogant that he almost stumbled as a big center.

“**！ Let's take hormones! Li Chen's brutal breakthrough made the old center with the surname Gewen couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Completely unblocked, Li Chen ended the attack with a move that he had not done in a whole season before, dunked with both hands, and the basketball was poured into the basket with a bang.

The audience was silent!

Many viewers rubbed their eyes, as if they were making sure they were right. Slam dunk? Is this still the same Big Apple? What about three points? What about jump shots? What about back-hitting? Why did you change to dunk again?

There was a flurry of questions in the hearts of the fans, but soon, the cheers that resounded throughout the stadium represented their attitude. Indeed, what could be more surprising than a dunk from the Big Apple, which is a gift from the Big Apple to New York in the eyes of the adorable fans, and he's telling everyone that he's going to dunk!

Will he dunk? Ricky Davis looked at the man who raised his right hand in celebration, and he suddenly felt a little scary, what happens to the NBA when the big apple that blindly likes to stay on the outside and shoot three-pointers learns to score in a James-style savagery!

In the beginning, in order to prevent the big apple from scoring, people came up with a foul strategy, and then the apple cutting tactic was destroyed, and people used the method of preventing shots and not preventing sudden attacks to limit him, now, what should people do? The simple-headed Ricky Davis couldn't think of an answer.

"Hey! Scared? Li Chen noticed the opponent's face, and he laughed unceremoniously, "Did my dunk surprise you!" ”

Saying that, he pretended to look frightened and said, "What should I do?" The Big Apple is going to dunk, God, how do I defend it! ”

Then, the boy played a game of pretending to be God, "Foolish people, are you tired of how dare you stand in the way of Santa Cruz Lee?" ”

The unscrupulous performance finally caused outsiders to slander, and the bearded man came over and patted Li Chen's buttocks, "Cruz, remind you, you are now the boss of the team, you have to have the temperament of the boss!" After speaking, he pointed to the back of Li Chen's head and motioned for the other party to look back.

Li Chen turned his head in disbelief, his teammates all looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, as if to show that they had nothing to do with this person, and the teammates on the bench were still immersed in the brutal dunk that the boss had just made because they couldn't hear Li Chen's words.

"Well, I'm the boss!" Li Chen rolled his eyes, for the first time he felt that he should learn a little bit of the boss's temperament, such as appropriate coldness.

Subsequently, after receiving a steal from Larry Hughes, Li Chen suddenly threw a cold arrow on the outside line of the fast break and then turned back to the defense without looking back, borrowing the fans' reaction after the game, "God, I can't think of any other adjective besides cool!" ”

The babyface is tragic, and after witnessing the strong performance of the opposing boss, the bearded man, who is the current captain, stood up to save face for his teammates.

In the face of Curry, a thin rookie, Barron Davis squeezed through with his ass, and then turned and threw up, and the Clippers scored two points.

Curry shook his palm, and although he had made all kinds of preparations, when he actually walked out into the court, he still found a lot of new problems. First of all, a freak-like point guard like Barron Davis is something he's never encountered before, and if it weren't for the fact that the opponent is about the same height as himself, Curry would even think he's carrying an interior player.

"The temperament of the boss!" Li Chen muttered secretly, and then, he was ready to help his younger brother come out.

Curry used his off-ball run to win a chance for himself, and Li Chen, who always paid attention to Curry's side, quickly passed the ball over, although he was a little nervous, but the baby face, who has a lot of NCAA game experience, still threw the ball in without hesitation.

Of course, Curry didn't have the courage to imitate Li Chen's movements just now, and he was very concerned about his first shot with his eyes on the ball. Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Knicks scored another three points.

In the opening three offenses, the Knicks had a 100% success rate, although this has something to do with the lack of defense in the preseason, but it can always make people see that the current Knicks are different from the past, and now New York, can no longer see the original fish belly temperament, on the contrary, he is as full of vitality as the rising sun.

Li Chen didn't play again after the first half, although the audience had been waiting for the Big Apple to play, but the goods were directly on the bench to the end. But there's nothing wrong with that, pre-season is meant to be played by the substitutes, so the main players don't waste time in this kind of game.

Before Li Chen left the game, Chandler, David Lee, and Larry Hughes had already left the game first, and Li Chen still considered that he was new to the game, so he performed for a while, otherwise he would have returned to the bench to stay and play.

However, Curry does not have the treatment of several other main players, as a rookie, the preseason is his best adaptation time, and the fans need this time to recognize his strength, if even the preseason is not recognized by the fans, then wait for the tragedy.

The Knicks' first preseason game ended up winning 87-71, which led to a low overall score because they were all bench reasons and didn't have a high shooting percentage.

Li Chen played 19 minutes and got 11 points, 4 assists and 0 rebounds. Curry had 15 points and two assists, and was 4-of-7 from three-point range, and fans were quite happy with the performance of the No. 6 pick.

Second-round pick Marcus Thornton's outburst was unexpected, with 23 points and 1 assist, shooting 51 from the field, which seemed to be better than Curry's.

However, one game can't say anything, just looking at the preseason, New York still has to play 7 games, and the strength has to be seen in the end!
