On October 5th, the Knicks team came to Beijing, the first stop of their Asian tour.

The Knicks will play their first preseason game at Wukesong Stadium today, against the Chinese national team.

The game was more inclined towards entertainment and commercial performances, with Yao Ming joining the Chinese team in the first half and the Knicks in the second half; Zhang Yu, in turn, joined the Knicks in the first half and the Chinese team in the second half.

In this kind of competition, it is difficult to play the role of training, and everyone is obviously a performance performance, all kinds of fast attack, violent dunk, and air relay...... This made D'Antoni very dissatisfied, because in his eyes, such a game is better than finding the Beijing team to play a game, which has no effect on their team run-in in the new season, and even the team training match is better than this kind of game.

The final result was a 110-102 win for the Knicks, and players on both sides of the game played like an All-Star Game, with slam dunks all over the court, and players on both sides frequently performed a variety of highly ornamental layups and dunks.

On October 9th, the Knicks played against the Greater Taipei team in Taipei, and this game was much better than the previous one, but D'Antoni was still very dissatisfied, because the Taipei team was too weak, and the effect of such a game was not as good as finding an NCAA team or a development league team, and the Taipei team seemed to be inferior to the first two.

The final score was 129:80, and the Knicks defeated Taipei by 49 points.

Zhang Yu only played 30 minutes in this game and got 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Yao Ming played 26 minutes and got 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Lawson played 30 minutes and had 20 points and 4 assists, Wallace had 18 points and 6 rebounds in 30 minutes. Frye had 15 points and Landry had 10 points.

D'Antoni barely used Thai. Gibson and Thornton, and even Birdman Anderson only got 12 minutes of playing time in this game. The mustache was clearly not interested in the players signed by the new manager, and even Yao Ming didn't use much time, instead allowing Frye to play 30 minutes.

Zhang Yu naturally didn't say anything. It's preseason now, it's right not to let Yao Ming play more, and the little giant himself doesn't want to play more.

In the regular season, the mustache still uses Yao Ming like this, and it is not too late to say that it will be too late, and Hangde Anthony will not dare to use the 16 million player as Yi Jianlian.

It is worth mentioning that Thai. Lawson is a very good player, lightning fast. The ability to dribble through is not inferior to last season's little potato, and Thai. Lawson is stronger than him. The most critical thing is Thai. Lawson is not like Little Potato who only knows no brains, Ty. Lawson has a very good sense of the ball. He can divide the basketball in time, which he is better than Nett. Robinson is much stronger. Plus Thai. Lawson has been honing his time in college for three years, and his projection ability is excellent, and he came from a prestigious North Carolina school. Tactical literacy is also better than most players. The single defense ability is qualified, and he is a rookie with very strong combat power.

ZHANG Yu and Tai. Lawson partnered with the backcourt combination, and the offensive end greatly released the little bunny, Zhang Yu can now no longer waste his body lì to lead the charge, he can hand over the basketball to Tai. Lawson, let him impact the opponent's formation, attract the opponent's defensive strength and create a one-on-one opportunity for himself, and his shooting percentage will definitely be greatly improved at that time. Get the most out of his attacking prowess.

Of course, when the bunny asks for the ball. Great. Lawson must hand over the ball immediately and unconditionally, what is the team boss, a handball is the team boss.

On October 12, the Knicks played a game against South Korea in Busan, and it is said that Girls' Generation was all out to support both teams.

The strength of the South Korean team is worse than the Taipei team, the Knicks killed the stick team with a light stab, the score is 135:69, the Knicks shouted 66 points, and did not leave any face for the Koreans.

Zhang Yu and Yao Ming only played half of the game, D'Antoni gave the substitute players more opportunities to play, and the mustache couldn't raise his energy to deal with such an opponent, and he didn't even bother to arrange the tactics, and the players went up to play singles.

That night, in the hotel where the Knicks stayed, Zhang Yu sneaked into the room of Yuna, Taeyeon and Jessica according to the house number on the mobile phone text message.

After the next five games, the Knicks won every game, and in the end, even Zhang Yu felt that they might not be able to help them find their form in this preseason, and it would affect their preparation for the regular season, which was really no good, but had side effects.

On October 22, the Knicks returned to New York for their final preseason game at Madison Square Garden, this time against the Asian team that they eliminated last season, but the Celtics, who eliminated them last season.

This season, the Celtics have not changed much on the roster, except for the Big Four, they also signed the Knicks who did not want Nate. Robinson, this stinky boy turned his face and didn't recognize people, as soon as he joined the Celtics, he immediately blamed and criticized the Knicks for all kinds of wrongs, and the character of this green-skinned little frog was undoubtedly revealed for a while, no wonder Barkley usually hates him so much, it is not unreasonable.

At the beginning, New York fans attacked Barkley for this, but now that I think about it, I really blamed the big ass, this green-skinned frog, and it really wasn't a good thing.

Nate. Robinson arrived at the Celtics, turned his face and didn't recognize people, and from time to time he told the media about Zhang Yu's various wrongs, and the green-skinned frog thought that Bunny's phenomenal appearance in his first season was at the expense of other Knicks players, and that he didn't have the leadership temperament of Pierce, nor was he as good as Ray. Aaron is a humble gentleman, and he does not have Garnett's domineering.

New York fans are simply angry, and domestic fans are eager to let this little bit be reimbursed next season except for Rabbit Black, this character is really unbearable! Many Green Army fans in China also hate this frog very much, today he can run to the Celtics to slander the former star, tomorrow he can run to other teams to slander the Big Four.

However, most of the American media admired Nate. Robinson's words and deeds, what a hype gimmick this is, they quote Nate at length. Robinson's belittling of Zhang Yu is scrambling to report, this is not their nonsense, this is the inside story of Zhang Yu's former teammate's righteous words, restoring Zhang Yu's true appearance for the world, and letting everyone see what kind of virtue this red evil rabbit is?

In the face of this situation, the Knicks players came out to refute the rumors and took the opportunity to make a big fuss, but the American people did not believe their words, thinking that Zhang Yu must have adopted the same high-pressure policy as their country in the Knicks, and there was no freedom of speech at all.

What, you ask Huang Yi what's going on in the comment area?

Those are all five Maoists pretending to be cents, how can China have so many cents? China does not have good and righteous cents at all, only evil five cents!

The preseason games between the Knicks and Celtics are in the spotlight today, and the Knicks were nearly shaved in five games in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, and their interior was completely abused by the Green Shirts. So this summer, the New Yorkers strengthened the roster and traded the NBA's low-post killer - the little giant Yao Ming, and their interior line has been qualitatively improved this season.

New York fans are looking forward to this game, the Knicks' first five preseason opponents are too weak to see the changes Yao Ming brings to the team, and the Celtics are the best litmus test.

Before the start of the game, Zhang Yu was interviewed and said to Nate. Robinson expressed regret for his words and deeds, and said very sadly to the camera: "I thought we were brothers, we worked together many times last season, but Robinson obviously didn't think so, I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Yu's words immediately reversed Nate. Robinson's slander of him suddenly stood in the position of the victim, and his words seemed to be very generous and self-contained, and the force was completely different. Of course, the little rabbit didn't say so in his heart, in front of Xia Wei and the little girl, Zhang Yu had already greeted Nate. Robinson's ancestors are eighteen generations!

In the dressing room before the game, D'Antoni was arranging today's tactics, and now that the team has joined the Little Giants, it is obviously inappropriate to play again, but if he doesn't play and run, it seems that he will not play in any other way.

In the Knicks locker room today, there is one more assistant head coach, and that is Tom. Thibodeau.

Thibodeau's two-year contract with the Celtics expired in the summer, and he was already a bit of a master of the Celtics, and the media praised him for the defensive system he trained for the Celtics, and Rivers rejected him, which made Thibodeau unable to stay in Boston.

But this year, there is no team suitable for him to be the head coach, it's not that no one invited him, it's just that he doesn't look down on these teams, feels that there is no room for his own play, and the team does not give much power. So after much hesitation, Thibodeau finally accepted the Knicks' two-year, $4 million assistant coaching contract.

James. Dolan privately assured him that he would be the first choice to take over as head coach if D'Antoni stepped down. At that time, Zhang Yu was also a guest at Dolan's villa, and he was very enthusiastic about Thibodeau, and his words revealed that he wanted him to replace D'Antoni.

Zhang Yu is indeed very interested in Thibodeau's system, this fat guy has a very high tactical literacy, and his tuning to the defense makes the little rabbit very admirable.

Thibodeau saw that the owner and the core of the team were optimistic about him, and he didn't have the idea of squeezing out D'Antoni. This year, his task is to adjust the team's defense, and the Knicks' defensive training sessions no longer account for only 10% of the team's total training volume, but have increased to 30% of the team's total training volume after Thibodeau took over.

In addition to D'Antoni being good at bombardment, the rest is to block and dismantle.

So this season, the mustache is ready to play more blocking and dismantling tactics. Lawson and Zhang Yu took turns to attack the inside line after blocking and dismantling, attacking themselves when they had the opportunity, and sharing the ball when they didn't have the opportunity; Wallace is responsible for slipping the bottom line and stabbing the back door, plus Yao Ming occasionally plays in the low post, which is the basic tactic that makes up the team.

D'Antoni announced today's starting lineup before the game: point guard Tate. Lawson, shooting guard Zhang Yu, small forward Gerrard. Wallace, power forward Kenyon. Martin, center Yao Ming. (To be continued......)
