The Big Apple, which had been silent for nearly two quarters, was finally able to play in the second half of the third quarter, by which time the difference between the two teams had become 66-59, and the Knicks were six points behind.

Under the leadership of Hades Harris, the Nets played a wave of 10:2 at the beginning of the third quarter, in which Harris scored 6 points alone, and the score, which was still a little anxious, quickly widened the gap because of this wave of outbursts.

The Nets are undoubtedly a weak team, but the Knicks have never been a strong team, especially Li Chen, the backbone, is not on the court, so it is natural that he can't beat the Nets. However, D'Antoni is not willing to accept that his team is behind, and the old guy is hoping for a good start to the new season.

"Cruze, play!" Without saying a word, D'Antoni sacrificed a big killing weapon, and he believed that Li Chen could understand what he meant.

Replacing Hughes, Li Chen temporarily served as the team's quarterback, as the name suggests, and the Big Apple's task now is to help the team score.

Defending Li Chen is the old acquaintance Kunis Lee, the poor guy who was blown up by Li Chen N times in the finals last season was very reluctant to stand in front of Li Chen again, no one knows better than him how terrible the Big Apple is.

Sure enough, Kunis Lee, who was directly hit by the greeting of bukkake three points, was embarrassed, and he wanted to call the coach to change the defense, but when he thought that he was not in the magic now, he was unfamiliar with his life and could not even protect his starting position, Kunis Lee immediately changed his mind.

"Hey, do you want to do this, you've done this kind of thing many times last season, don't you get tired of it?" Compared with the iron-blooded coach who does not pretend, Kunis Lee feels that the opponent in front of him is better to speak.

"Dude. It's preseason and the finals are over! Kunis Lee said, lifting his jersey, "Look. I've gone from Magic to Nets. ”

Li Chen rolled his eyes, the meaning of the goods on the other side couldn't be clearer, someone seemed to be complaining with a handful of blood and tears, you have already helped me hit the nets, do you still want to kill them all?

Of course, Li Chen will not be so ruthless, it is just a preseason, and there is no real need. So he decided to let his opponent go.

In the subsequent offensive round, Li Chen did not hurt Kunis further, and Li finally made a good impression with Nets coach Frank.

Gesturing to his teammates to stand up and block the demolition, Al Harrington honestly complied with the boss's wishes. He's different from David Lee, who has already established himself in New York and has a certain fan base, while he's just coming to the city. Undoubtedly. Following Li Chen is the best choice.

Because Harrington's mid-range investment is relatively bright, Yi Jianlian has to keep an eye on it. After seeing the opponent's blocking, he knew that he was likely to face the MVP of last season's Finals and the best rookie, and inevitably, Da Yi Di was a little nervous.

Although the Lakers and the Nets had several battles last season, Li Chen at that time was basically a shooter's task, except for competing for rebounds. Most of his time he was dangling near the three-point line, although Yi Di had seen this person. But he really didn't defend the opponent directly.

Now, here's the chance, the first head-to-head confrontation between Big Apple and Big Yidi, two players who both have a certain amount of weight in the hearts of Chinese fans, has captured the attention of the audience, and the cameras are ready to continue, no matter what the outcome, it will be a meaningful confrontation.

It's just that no one thought that the process of confrontation was so short, after getting rid of Kunis Li with the help of blocking and dismantling, Li Chen played a slightly savage turn in the face of Yi Di, forcibly pressed the opponent behind him with the help of back strength, and then leaned on Yi Di's body to hit a layup, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

The flashing lights rustled, and the big apple's back-to-back goals made the fans cheer, and this is what they wanted, even if the supporting role this time was local player Yi Di, but sports know no borders.

Big Apple turned around and grimaced at the little girl on the sidelines, Nini was excited by Li Chen's goal at this time, how did she know that this brother who seemed to have regained his confidence with his own encouragement was actually a complete liar.

Lopez hit a hook shot in the box, and the offense came to the Knicks again, and this time, Bobby Simmons took the initiative to find him. Because Li Chen's performance in the first half was very average, Nets coach Frank mistakenly thought it was Simmons' credit.

Others don't know, but Simmons, who has played for nearly ten years, knows very well that Li Chen's performance in the first half has nothing to do with him at all, and the reason is just that the opponent himself is too lazy to perform.

No, prompted by the little girl's cute smiling face, Li Chen was rarely serious for a while. Handing the ball to Curry, he started running, like a pure shooter, and Big Apple began to scurry around the crowd as he waited for an opportunity.

Simmons followed Li Chen aggrievedly, he didn't understand why he chose the seemingly laborious one in the end, even though the Big Apple could score in front of him in 10,000 ways. Belly slander is essential, but that doesn't mean he can let his opponents go, you know, among the many accolades in the Big Apple, the three-point king may be the one that best describes his personal technical characteristics.

Li Chen is also a little depressed, it's not that Simmons is difficult, on the contrary, someone thinks that he has at least three chances to run in this short ten seconds, but the ball just can't be passed, and the shooter is the kind of person who grabs the opportunity, he didn't receive the ball at this moment, and the opponent's defense followed the next moment.

"Ball!" Finally, Li Chen couldn't help it, and after slipping into the bottom corner to win a brief opportunity for himself after cutting into the penalty area, he loudly reminded Mirisic, who was still fighting with his opponent stubbornly, of course, in Mi Worm's opinion, this reminder was more like an order.

Catch, jump, shoot! Even if Simmons rushed over because of Mirisic's slight hesitation, Li Chen still sent the ball out without hesitation.

Syllable! Simmons, who came later, only touched Li Chen's wrist because of the height and time of the jump.

Swish! Ball in! Mirisi's hesitation successfully helped Li Chen win a precious three-plus-one!

The fans were boiling again, and they had only seen such a rare thing as three plus one on TV before. And now, the NBA's most enthusiastic goal was completely presented in front of the live audience!

The camera replayed the goal just now over and over again, and Li Chen took a step back and jumped after receiving the ball. Bobby Simmons arrived immediately, Li Chen raised his hand, Simmons reached out to interfere, and after a snap, Li Chen shot, the opponent's foul did not affect his accuracy at all, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

In the next free throws, of course, the Chinese audience will not be as undisciplined as Lao Mei. In the quiet atmosphere, Li Chen threw the ball out with great enjoyment.

Will the Big Apple's free throws be as unreliable as the legend suggests? This is the inner thoughts of many fans at this time, and the tactic of cutting apples is still yesterday. They are very much looking forward to history repeating this joyful scene.

But today, the big apple disappointed them, and the shooting rate of close to 80 made free throws no longer a burden to Li Chen, and the three plus one was successfully completed!

The scene was booed. People were depressed. When the Big Apple's free throws are no longer humorous, is there anything else to be happy about in the NBA?

Three offenses, 9 points, Big Apple's scoring efficiency is terrifying, which is equivalent to him throwing a three-pointer every round, and throwing them all in, in front of him, scoring seems to be as simple as drinking water.

The Nets called a timeout. The Big Apple didn't play for a few minutes before it quickly erased the score gap that they had managed to open up before. The 7-point advantage is only one point left in an instant, and Harris, the boss of the Nets, is very unwilling, you know, compared to the Knicks, they should be regarded as China's home team, and the 1.3 billion public base also makes him reluctant to give up this fertile soil.

"Bobby, we can't let them score any more goals, or the fans will blame us, I don't know what you think, I can't stand the chatter of those people anyway! God knows what they're going to say about us when we get back to New Jersey after losing this game! ”

Harris complained about Simmons' defense, because he was not in one position, which caused him to not understand his teammates' weakness in defense, and Hades self-righteously believed that this was the reason why Simmons' defense was not doing his best.

"You know, just like the Lakers and the Clippers, we and the Knicks are also mortal enemies, we can lose other games, but we can't lose to the Knicks, especially in the current situation when the morale of the team is low, any victory against the Knicks can bring great encouragement to the fans!"

Although Harris is exaggerating, the Knicks and the Nets are not friends. The hatred between the two teams stems mainly from the fact that they share the same market - New York. Any sport is keen to hype up a local derby, and fans are particularly interested in winning this kind of confrontation, just to prove that they have a better vision than some of the hillbillies in the neighboring region.

The Nets in New Jersey and New York are only a river apart, but it is across this river, and the situation of the two teams is like a world of difference, although the Knicks are bad, but their ball market has been hot, and the Nets are not good, tickets are so cheap that a few dollars are still no one to play, objectively speaking, they are not even qualified to talk about grievances with the Knicks.

In the new season, the Nets have gone the only big name on the team, and the team has gotten worse. They have some players to put together, but not too much. Their core is now Harris, Lopez, Yi Jianlian, Kunis Lee, Alstom, Terrence Williams (this guy carried Princess Barbie's school bag when he was in high school, and he wore SpongeBob SquarePants socks in college), and everything doesn't look very good.

The predictions given by the American media are surprisingly unanimous, regardless of the feelings of New Jersey fans, and they have all handed down the death sentence for the Nets in the new season - 20 wins will be the goal of this young team, because they are too young to fight to the end every night, and 20 wins is a very realistic result.

The Knicks are different, Chandler, David Lee, Li Chen, Larry Hughes, Stephen Curry, and Sean Battier are the main lineup that gives them enough capital on paper to compete with any team, and the performance of the previous preseason games seems to verify this.

For the Knicks, experts have expressed optimism, the "New York Times" is like a basketball community of many commentators to do an overall survey, found that 39 percent of people said they are very optimistic that New York can make the playoffs, 48 percent of people think that the Knicks have the possibility of making the playoffs, and only 13 percent think that the Knicks want to squeeze into the playoffs is just a joke.

More and more facts are telling New Jerseyians that the good brother next door who has been sharing the ridicule for them all this time seems to be about to turn over, which is equivalent to one of the two good brothers who have been sharing the ups and downs all this time and wakes up one day and is suddenly told that he is the illegitimate son of a wealthy man. New Jerseys were jealous, and because of that jealousy, their desire to defeat the Knicks was stronger than ever.

But now, the Big Apple is telling New Jerseyians that time has changed, and now the Knicks no longer plan to accompany the Nets in the annual gold rush in the lottery, they have found their future, and they are moving forward for their dreams.

As for the poor brother in the same city, the local New York media ridiculed it as despairing: Harris is definitely one of the best point guards in the league, but he can't lead a team's offense. Lopez has had a fantastic rookie season, but what else do you want him to do? His athleticism is limited. and Yi Jianlian, the ghost knows what he did.

Although Simmons deeply agrees with Harris's complaints, it does not mean that he will accept the slander of the team boss, of course, these must be put in the bottom of his heart.

The little brother's superficial reverence made Harris secretly refreshed, and for a moment Hades was in high spirits, "Guys, I think we have to let New Yorkers know that rotten apples are rotten apples all the time!" (To be continued......)
