In the second quarter, the Knicks' players really carried forward their style and began to control the court...... As a result, the leaky defense of the first quarter disappeared, and the Atlantans began to narrow the score.

By the end of the second quarter, Atalanta had narrowed the score to five points.

Therefore, in the third quarter, the Knicks hurriedly adjusted their policy and continued to limit Atlantans to death. As a result, the lead rose again.

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks loosened up for half a quarter, and when the score expanded, they began to tighten up the defense again, so they ...... Easily won!

After the whole game, the players of the Atlanta Hawks seemed to have done a roller coaster, and their mood was like a spring, loosening and tightening, and finally lost the game inexplicably!

They feel that they have lost a bit unjustly, and they think that they have not taken advantage of their opportunities in many cases.

But in reality, they didn't know that all of their so-called opportunities were deliberately sold to them by the Knicks.

The Knicks fans were quite happy, and the game made them feel that the Knicks didn't seem to be in a desperate situation...... Although this game was very thrilling, it was ...... After all, this is the lack of a chic existence. And while the defence is loose and tight, it's a new lineup that will definitely get better and better over time.

As a result, Knicks fans left Madison Garden full of hope...... Their expectations for the Knicks had been lowered to an all-time low, and this win gave them a glimmer of hope that things weren't that bad yet!

This is indeed the result of wanting to promote and suppress it. If it weren't for the toss of the preseason and the downturn of the outside world that made the mentality of Knicks fans low, how could such a thrilling game make them feel satisfied and gratified? I'm afraid I will also criticize some of the players who did not perform well in this game!

So. The lower the psychological threshold, the easier and higher the satisfaction will be.

The Knicks fans left happily, but the Atlanta head coach reluctantly walked into the postgame press conference, along with the Hawks' star Joe Johnson...... Joe Johnson scored a measly seven points tonight, and he took 16 shots, which is 2-of-16 and 3-of-8 from the free-throw range.

This palmares is not a good start in any way, as the first race of the season. It's obviously not something that can make people happy!

And when Mr. Joe Johnson sat down, the reporter in New York reminded him very 'kindly': "Mr. Johnson, this game is finally over. Why don't you seem happy? That way you can concentrate on your next round opponent, the New Jersey Nets! ”

It's a malicious issue wrapped in a benign tone, and it's very aggressive.

In an instant, Joe Johnson's face changed, his expression became stiff and his eyes shone with anger!

But obviously. Over here. He can't scare anyone, it's New York!

"So, were you mentally prepared to lose before the game? So you're focused on the next game, after all, it's easier for the New Jersey Nets to be a stepping stone for your first win of the new season, right? The reporter looked directly into Joe Johnson's angry gaze and replied confidently...... He wasn't scared at all. Since the Doug Rachel incident, New York reporters have been bold and ruthless...... It's like if you want to fight, I'll fight, I have thousands of brothers!

"Shut up!" Joe Johnson slammed the table. He tried to stop the journalist from talking about it.

But the reporter continued: "Don't you want to explain your shooting percentage of 2-of-16 tonight?" That's not a great stat to celebrate with a lap on the table!! ”

The reporter is aggressive, and his tone is extremely sarcastic!!

Joe Johnson was so angry that his whole body was rising and falling violently. He really wanted to rush down and give this malicious reporter a fist!

But at this time, the head coach quietly tugged at his clothes under the table, meaning to calm him down.

Just as the head coach was smiling and trying to play a round or two, the reporter had already continued: "As a New Yorker, as a die-hard Knicks fan, I just want to say one thing about Mr. Joe Johnson here...... When your strength is not strong enough to support your hubris, keep your mouth shut! Be prepared to be humiliated by others before trying to humiliate them. The Knicks have a little problem, but it's definitely not something like you can easily trample on and humiliate. Capable ...... You're openly challenging us for a chic look, and we've got three more chances to play each other this season. We are waiting for your response!! ”

So saying, he got up and left the table.

As soon as he did, other reporters in New York also left their seats and withdrew together.

In an instant, the huge press conference site was empty.

Only NBA official reporters, ESPN reporters, and Atlanta Hawks reporters were left behind.

The sudden occurrence of such an accident at the scene was something that no one expected.

In the year since he joined the basketball reporter in New York, he has a variety of tempers, contrary to the previous posture of kneeling and licking the star players of other teams, and he is very tough and domineering...... Because Xiao Shi always stood behind them and supported them.

After the New York reporters left, the interview had to continue.

After all, this is just the beginning, and it would be even more embarrassing to dry these two here.

So, the ESPN reporter stood up and asked them a question: "Mr. Head Coach and Mr. Joe Johnson, one thing that everyone is talking about right now is how bad the Knicks really are, they can even lose to various weak teams in the preseason, and they still don't have the main players on the other side." But tonight they beat you without any scarcity, and they even played the kind of iron-blooded suffocation defense that the Pistons did back then. As their first opponent of the season, what position do you think they are in? ”

"The Knicks weren't as bad as they thought they were. But it's not much better than you think. Their defensive continuity has been terrible, if it weren't for our failure to take our chances at crunch time and if Johnson had been able to feel a little bit better tonight. The game would have gone in a very different direction. So, I think the Knicks should be on the verge of the playoffs, and if Xiao can play at the same level as last year's playoffs, then... It's also very possible to make the playoffs in the second half. That's what the Atalanta head coach said, he thinks he's being conservative, and he thinks tonight's defeat was a complete accident.

"I agree with Coach Heywood and I'll be back in the meantime. I won't stay in the doldrums, and I'm not going to be provoked like this forever! Joe Johnson said almost through gritted teeth.

Obviously, he has formed a deep bond with the Knicks.

After this most crucial question has been answered. The next question was a bit perfunctory.

So, soon this post-match press conference was over.

The day after the press conference, the New York sports media was largely ridiculing Joe Johnson's hubris.

But big media outlets like ESPN reported on the incident fairly and reported Johnson and Heywood's words in full.

Haywood said the Knicks weren't as good as they thought. It's just a fringe level in the playoffs.

Johnson says he'll be back!

Both of them are full of momentum. Those who don't know think the Atlanta Hawks won.

However, this result is undoubtedly a good answer for the Knicks' players, who did not want to appear as a giant in the first place...... At least you won't show your fangs until the second half of the season when you can't fit it anymore!

Although the Knicks did not make any arguments in a low-key manner, Xiao Xiao still made a statement on the New York media's confrontation with Joe Johnson.

"That's what the reporter said. Joe Johnson said he would be back. Well, I'll be waiting for him at Madison Garden, and I'll be going to Atlanta to find him! Xiao Xiao said it very lightly, and did not have the feeling of gritting his teeth like Joe Johnson...... But everyone knows. Xiao Xiao is about to make a move, and Joe Johnson will soon have his retribution!

After all. As long as Xiao Wan says that he wants to teach a lesson, no one has been able to escape his Five Finger Mountain, and of course Joe Johnson will not be an exception, because there are no exceptions!

After taking out Atalanta, the Knicks continue to sit on the home court.

Their next opponent is the Lakers!

Obviously, two consecutive NBA runners-up is not a fuel-efficient lamp. And they are back this season with a strong sense of victory in an attempt to win back their championship trophy. So from the very beginning, they showed great combat effectiveness!

For a tough opponent like the Lakers, no one is optimistic that the Knicks will win, and even if Xiao Xiao still stays on the court, everyone thinks the Knicks will lose...... After all, there are too many 'internal problems' of the Knicks during this time, and the Lakers are so strong!

Therefore, Xiao Shi said to the players before the game: "Don't pretend tonight, let go of the fight!" Take the Lakers as the best alchemy stone and test our defensive level with their powerful offensive ability! ”

The chic words inspired the team members and made everyone have an attitude of letting go and giving it a try. In their opinion, the Lakers were very powerful at the time, so it was right to let go of the fight!

During this time, everyone basically kept fighting, and finally released all the things in the training camp unscrupulously.

So, before the game even started, the Knicks players were already getting excited.

Matchday is fast approaching, and while no one is optimistic that the Knicks will be able to defend their home court this time, but... Madison Garden still had an influx of more than 20,000 fans...... New York's ball market is always hot! So last year the Knicks made a lot of money!

The game started quickly.

From the jump ball, the Knicks showed amazing energy...... Tyson Chandler won by an astonishing height over the younger owner Bynum.

Then, the first ball successfully showed how a mature team works...... After Felton came to the front court with the ball, he quickly used his body to break through the veteran Fisher, and when he encountered the supplementary defense, he quickly passed to Larry Hughes on the side, and Larry Hughes held the ball a little, mobilized Kobe's defense, and then passed to Eddie Curry on the inside. Eddicu's defense against Pau Gasol, arched hard twice, attracted the bag, and quickly distributed to the bottom corner of the three-point line Gallinani, after Gallinani received the ball, he took two steps into the feint, and passed to Felton who cut the ball into the air, and Felton received the ball and threw it into the restricted area...... Tyson Chandler jumps high...... Smash the basketball into the hoop!

When Tyson Chandler was dunked violently, Andrew Bynum's eyes were still looking in another direction!

This attack is so skillful, so fluid, it's just smooth!

Phil Jackson's eyes on the sidelines were a little dazzled, and then his mind was full of doubts...... Does this team look like a team with constant infighting? Like the terrible team in the media?
