Iguodala except for the first time to defend Zhang Yu in the whole game, and then the defense has become regular.

76ers head coach Maurice Cheeks wants Iguodala to be close to Zhang Yu and affect his passing, and it is better to connect the ball to prevent him from being comfortable.

When the two teams returned to the court, Zhang Yu immediately noticed that Iguodala had increased the intensity of his defense, and such a close defense had significantly exceeded the defensive intensity of the preseason.

Iguodala has an excellent physique, amazing bounce, excellent explosiveness, and a superhuman reach of 211cm that makes his defensive area very large.

Zhang Yu was guarded by his body, and it became difficult to pass a good ball again.

In this case, D'Antoni's system can play more blocks and dismantles, and Randolph's mid-range shooting is very accurate, and this is when the dead fat man should start to play.

Randolph didn't score in half a day, mainly because he couldn't keep up with the team's attacking pace.

The Knicks often end up in seven or eight seconds on an offense, and it takes four or five seconds for the rotten tofu to run to the opponent's basket, and when he reaches his position, his teammates have already shot at this time, and his only task is only to grab rebounds.

Pick-and-roll? Originally, Randolph's lazy personality was also reluctant, but compared with the bombardment, Randolph instantly felt that he was too happy to play the stalls!

After running for most of the quarter, the team finally slowed down, Randolph blocked and dismantled this time with extremely high quality, the big ass secretly pouted, and almost didn't give Iguodala a direct top flight Waiting for him to bypass Randolph, Zhang Yu had already dribbled into the inside!

Damham Porter's defensive ability in the penalty area is good, and the timing of the defense is also very good, standing outside the reasonable collision area to block Zhang Yu's breakthrough route.

Zhang Yu rushed to the basket and made a quick stop, turned and passed the ball back to Randolph at the free throw line, ignoring Iguodala's blocked jumper and hitting a jumper.

When the 76ers attacked, because Iguodala has never had a high desire to attack, Zhang Yu did not have much pressure on the defensive end.

At the last timeout, Coach Cheeks hoped Iguodala could strengthen his offense and the team needed him to score.

As the star of the 76ers, Xiao AI should stand up when his team needs to score, and if he loses to a big bad team like the Knicks on the first home court of the new season, fans will criticize him after the game.

In the face of Zhang Yu's defense, Iguodala suddenly accelerated and forced a breakthrough!

As soon as the two made contact, Iguodala's 215-pound weight knocked him off and then easily went inside.

Randolph symbolically stretched out his hand and watched Iguodala split the buckle with one hand, without the courage of Robin López to face the flying Griffin!

"Oh!! I like to watch him attack aggressively because he's lightning fast and he likes to work at height. But he should be more confident and increase his desire to attack on the field, just passing the ball will not bring victory to the team! ”

After seeing Iguodala's crisp slam dunk, Barkley couldn't help but praise in the live broadcast room, and by the way, he also put forward his own opinions.

"You can't physically fight against him, next time you can prevent him from shooting, he can't shoot anyway!"

Zhang Yu secretly thought in his heart that he had suffered a lot of losses in defense this time, and he had just fallen behind in the physical confrontation with Iguodala, and the 76ers fans had begun to laugh at his small physique that flew as soon as he hit it......

"Soft eggs from China, this is not the place for you!"

"Did you learn basketball from women?"

"You're going to be killed by Andre, go back to your mother!"

“…………”

Zhang Yu really wanted to raise a middle finger at this group of open-mouthed guys, but thinking that he was likely to be fined by the alliance after the game, Zhang Yu, who had been infected with Xia Wei's slamming problem, decisively became sensible, as if he couldn't hear anything.

The Knicks attacked, and this time it was David Lee who blocked Zhang Yu.

David Lee's mid-range shot is not inferior to Randolph's, and his athleticism is better than that of the lazy Randolph.

Zhang Yu relied on David Lee's cover to break through the inside line, and in the face of Brand's delay, he accelerated and forced a breakthrough through the old captain.

Brand is too slow on his feet, and even in his prime, he is not good at defending pick-and-rolls, let alone now being a veteran captain.

Zhang Yu passed Brand and easily broke into the 76ers penalty area, and Hellam Porter had to let go of Randolph to make up for Zhang Yu.

However, Daim Porter knocked down Zhang Yu's side only to find that the basketball in the opponent's hand was missing? There was a loud bang on the hoop behind him! Dareham Porter didn't have to look back to know that Zhang Yu must have passed the ball out......

David Li blocked and dismantled, and received Zhang Yu's air relay and won the dunk!

Suns fans will be familiar with the scene, as Nash and Stoudemire on their team have had several of these dunk combinations every game, a tactic that D'Antoni replicated from the Suns to the Knicks.

As far away as Madison Square Garden in New York, there was a sudden thunderous cheer from the fans, as if this wonderful game was really being staged here

Defending Iguodala again, Zhang Yu specially put a small AI big stride, and if the opponent breaks through again, he has enough time to interfere with his side and block with his teammates under the basket with a pair of long arms. Anyway, he doesn't plan to fight the other party alone anymore, with his current strength, it is too easy to get injured with the opponent's stubbornness, and at this stage, safety comes first, and he will play hard with you when Lao Tzu grows meat.

Iguodala is very unstable in shooting, offensive ability and Gerald Wallace have a fight, Zhang Yu gave him a big step, Xiao AI hesitated, tried to shoot outside the three-point line, but looking at his hesitant movements, obviously very unconfident in himself.

Zhang Yu didn't really let the opponent shoot in the empty position, his long arm played a role at this moment, and he pounced forward, still interfering with the opponent's sight.

This kind of interference may have no effect on Kobe, but it will have a big impact on Iguodala. His three-point shooting rate was barely maintained at about 30%, Zhang Yu's blocking made his vision blocked, and the shooting force was unconsciously used larger, and the basketball slammed into the back edge of the basket.

David Lee was in a position against Bowler in Daream, and Wallace rushed forward to grab the rebound, and then passed directly to Zhang Yu, who had already run to the frontcourt.

Iguodala pestered Zhang Yu, but the basketball was still firmly controlled by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's ability to protect the ball is very strong, as long as he is careful to avoid physical confrontation with the opponent, he will not be stealed, if Iguodala dares to hit him, he will dare to fake a fall immediately!

Dribbling past the midcourt, another Knicks guard had already shaken off Miller Sr. and rushed to the three-point line, and Crawford was faster than Zhang Yu, who was interfered with by Iguodala

Zhang Yu passed the ball with one hand while running, Crawford stepped to the three-point line just in time to receive the basketball, Miller was two steps away from him, and Crawford scored two points with an easy layup.

The Knicks were another fast break, although it was Crawford who scored the goal, but Zhang Yu protected the basketball under Iguodala's entanglement, and successfully passed the lethal assist was the biggest contributor to this offense.

The 76ers fans were silent for a while, and there were only a few hundred local Chinese left on the "Wajovia Center Court" cheering happily for their compatriots......

At the end of the first quarter, relying on Zhang Yu's excellent play, the Knicks further widened the difference, leading the 76ers by 10 points at 32:22.

Zhang Yu played 10 minutes, made 3 of 6 shots, contributed 8 points, 4 assists and 1 steal, shining all over the court.

Kenny Smith watched the first quarter of the game between the two teams and commented on the Knicks' table: "In the first quarter of today's game, the Knicks' table has changed significantly from last season, especially Wallace, who has just been traded, has an active defense and excellent athleticism, which is very suitable for Anthony's bombardment tactics. Old folks, let's talk about their team personnel over the years and how they can get a new look? ”

Barkley didn't need to think about it, and said directly: "I think a qiē starts with an attitude. You have to have talented players to win, you and I know that. But at the same time, you have to have your own characteristics, you have to have players who are serious and responsible, and they have to persevere in doing the right thing, no matter how big or small it is. New York have struggled in this area over the past few years, and they need players who really know what a team is. As for New York's new star of hope, Zhang Yu, he has done a good job so far, even beyond my expectations. ”

Back on the court, the second quarter of the game has begun.

With the team leading and Zhang playing well, D'Antoni was in a good mood and switched to the bench at the end of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter to see who of those benches could be used in the regular season.

As a result, halfway through the second quarter, D'Antoni's good mood had already disappeared, and he didn't know where to throw it

Jerome James, Marrick Rose, Quentin Richardson, and Marty Collins, who are on big contracts, are not as good on the court as Wilson Chandler with rookie contracts and Nate Robinson with only a base salary!

Especially Jerome James, this guy has a five-year 30 million contract, D'Antoni asked Thomas the truth why he gave such a contract in the first place? Could it be that this is his father's illegitimate son?

The score was 38:38, with 5 minutes and 55 seconds left in the second quarter, D'Antoni couldn't bear it anymore and replaced Jerome James, Marrick Rose, and Marty Collins, and directly sentenced these three to death in his heart!

Even if there is really no one available, even if they sign a short-term contract with the Development Alliance, they will not need to be used

In D'Antoni's heart, these guys are completely waiting for the Knicks to retire after the garbage contract they gave them expires, and they have no fighting spirit and desire to play at all, in Zhang Yu's words, they are eating and waiting for death!

D'Antoni brought Zhang back on, along with David Lee and Crawford.

The Knicks players became: Crawford, Zhang Yu, Quentin Richardson, Wilson Chandler, David Lee

This lineup even Zhang Yu feels crazy, Chandler is only 203cm and actually plays power forward? The tallest on the field is David Lee, who is 206cm, which is crazy!

Although this is only a pre-season game, it can be seen that D'Antoni does like to play small lineups, and his pursuit of speed is already a bit obsessed.

Zhang Yu returned to the court not to face Iguodala again, but to face another 76ers shooting guard, Willie Green.

Willie Green is only 191cm tall, has a certain mid-range shooting ability, and is good at breaking through and is physically strong.

When Zhang Yu meets a player younger than him, what he likes to do the most is bukkake to the other party, and the two of them pull out something......

With David Lee's blocking, Zhang Yu burst into the inside line and forcibly threw a mid-range shot on Willy Green's head, and the basketball "brushed" into the net with a hollow sound!

This is Zhang Yu's 10th point today, and he scored a double-double in the first game.

This made Yao Ming, who was watching the live broadcast in Houston, couldn't help but sigh: "It's so shameless to give me, knowing that my 0 points in the first game still hit me so much!" ”

In the next two minutes, Zhang Yu fully played the style of bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and continuously borrowed the block and demolition to beat Willie Green. In a few minutes, he threw four balls in a row on his head, instantly brushing his personal score to 18 points, forcing the 76ers to replace Iguodala again to limit Zhang Yu.

It's embarrassing enough to let a rookie score 20 points in his first game, even if he's the top pick. What if he gets 30 points? The next day, the 76ers will definitely be the laughing stock of the whole league!

Under Iguodala's full defense, it immediately became difficult for Zhang Yu to score, but it doesn't matter if he can't score, the assists are also counted, and it's not bad to brush a double-double.

So Zhang Yu took the great goal of brushing two doubles and began to connect the team and feed the ball to his teammates.

Iguodala relied on his superior physique, which could limit Zhang Yu's scoring, but could no longer limit his passing.

At halftime, Zhang Yu had already scored 21 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists in the All-Star count, and the media reporters present had already begun to write post-game scripts, most of which were "The new champion shines on Vajovia!" This kind of hype.

Reporters are the most unscrupulous, as long as you look good, you can praise you to the sky, and wait until you are not good one day, and then you will fall as high as you want

Only Sabi of the Los Angeles Times and Rakki of the Cleveland Truth Tell are depressed!

Is it good for them to write Zhang Yu? To hell with it!

There was little change for both teams in the second half, and although the 76ers were behind, the defense was still man-to-man.

You can't really use a bag in the preseason to limit a rookie, right? That's more humiliating than letting the other person get 30 points!

The 76ers were a lot more active in defense in the second half, and it seems that they were taught a lesson by the head coach in the locker room, and even Brandon began to defend actively.

This made Randolph, who was still defending with his eyes, even more inadequate, and Zhang Yu felt that he was the coach and would definitely replace Randolph.

But D'Antoni surprisingly did not replace the dead fat man, but let him block and dismantle Zhang Yu on the court.

"Once a team deliberately brushes a player's jù, there's usually only one possibility?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Poor Randolph, eighty percent is going to say goodbye to the nightclubs in New York!" ”

In the second half, Zhang Yu didn't force his shot when he didn't have a chance, and began to play the success rate, but in fact, he was deliberately maintaining his shooting percentage.

In the NBA, shooting percentage is also a very important number, and Zhang Yu will not do the stupid thing of lowering his shooting percentage in order to brush up on points!

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks continued to lead their opponents by 6 points at 76:70.

Zhang Yu also improved his tally to 24 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.

D'Antoni didn't let him play again in the fourth quarter, and that's his final count.

Nate Robinson and Chris Dujon each played half a quarter in the final quarter, and D'Antoni began to scout the main point guard, each with their own characteristics.

Zach Randolph was thrown onto the field by him and continued to count jù, although the number jù in the preseason is not valuable, but it is also a count, it is better than nothing!

In the end, the New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 95-91 away, and Zhang Yu and D'Antoni both won their own good starts.

Zhang Yu, as the best player of the game, naturally followed the head coach to attend the post-match press conference, and he was joined by Zach Randolph and Gerard Wallace, who had just transferred.

Today is Zhang Yu's first game on behalf of the Knicks, and the object of questions that various media want to ask is this Chinese champion.

When a few people came to the press conference, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time did not hesitate to shoot their own films, and shot wildly at Zhuangyuanlang, almost blinding Zhang Yu's dog eyes!

The reporters filmed for a while before they remembered that there was still a person like D'Antoni. The best coach that the Knicks have hired with a high salary this year, and today is also the first time to coach the Knicks, and the reporters finally did not make a noise, and still asked the head coach questions first as usual.

"Mr. D'Antoni, what do you think of Zhang Yu's debut tonight? Who do you think his template is? ”

The ESPN reporter's question was not offensive at all, and D'Antoni was a little worried about whether there would be any pitfalls in the future, but the question was still easy to answer.

"He can't remind me of anybody, he combines a bunch of player characteristics, CP3's speed, Ai's flexibility, accurate shooting and good defense, he's a unique guard, tonight's watch exceeded my expectations, playing an All-Star game."

A columnist for the Los Angeles Times, Sabi was given a second chance to ask questions, this time targeting Zhang Yu.

"Some fans call you Asian Kobe, what do you think?"

Zhang Yu didn't know that this middle-aged white man with gold-wire glasses, a big belly, and no hair on his head was completely bald, he was the guy he had always hated, shook his head and said: "No, I am me, I am unique, please don't compare me to anyone's stand-in." ”

When Sabi heard this, he hated it in his heart, and secretly scolded: "Comparing you with Kobe Bryant is putting gold on your face, are you still hypocritical?" ”

"Do you think you can be a starting All-Star in the East?"

Sabi's second question was obviously a trap that unwittingly pulled Wade into the water.

Although Zhang Yu felt that there was something wrong with this question, he didn't care too much about it, and nodded: "Of course, if you don't have this confidence, New York fans should regret choosing me." ”

The reporters at the scene laughed cooperatively after listening to Zhang Yu's answer, Sabi showed a smug look, handed over the microphone and sat back in the chair, he had already thought about how to write tomorrow's column.
