Chapter 13: Biting the Big Apple!!
The game against the Nuggets benefited Zheng Ke a lot, and Zheng Ke tried to reminisce about his performance on the court after the game, which can only be said to be very average.
He never thought his defense had reached a high level, except that he had room to play in this Timberwolves team with obvious roster flaws.
In life, what could it be better than
How about keeping a normal heart more freely?
―――――――
New York is the largest city and the largest port in the United States, and it is also the economic center of the whole city. The crowds of people coming and going on the streets of New York, the endless flow of vehicles, all of this gave Zheng Ke, who was accustomed to seeing deserted streets in Minneapolis, feel completely different. Every day there are countless people here to realize their dreams, and every day countless people have their dreams shattered here.
New York is a big market with a large population, so it has always been an important part of the NBA's development in the United States, and the NBA has been working to add another NBA team to New York like Los Angeles. While New York is luxurious and the ball market is hot, the New York Knicks have been in a slump since Ewing the Gorilla retired, even though their owner, Dolan, is rich and willing to spend money.
Basketball is not like football, football with money, may be able to smash a superstar team, just like Chelsea, the Russian tyrant Abu waved his hand, the check waved, the European market immediately changed color, but basketball is different, the principle of NBA market trading is equivalent trading, the player salaries on both sides of the transaction must be basically equal, within 25% of the value difference + 10W dollars, so even if there is a lot of money, it is not necessarily necessary to create an invincible division, even if you find stars, run in with each other, Personality clashes can bring the team to a slump.
The New York Knicks are a good and vivid example, and there is no shortage of quality players in their team, such as Marbury, Crawford, Randolph, and even two pairs of machines on the bench, David Lee, and Nate Robinson, a small potato! But the Knicks are always in the midst of internal and external troubles, so the team in the NBA belongs to the kind that spends a lot of money and does not have a high record. Last year, the Knicks had the highest salary in the league, but their record was a measly 33 wins
The Knicks' players were extraordinarily fierce before they came to the Knicks, and after signing a big contract, they belonged to the retirement level in the Knicks, such as Eddie Curry, on the one hand, it shows how attractive New York is, how intoxicating it is, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Knicks do not have a good team management and player binding.
In addition, Madison Square Garden, the arena of the New York Knicks, which is the mecca of basketball, can also arouse the fighting spirit of the visiting team players, and every player who visits Madison Square Garden wants to express himself, because this stage is big and this stage is charming
Now the Knicks are like a big apple growing in the Big Apple, everyone wants to take a bite of it, in one sentence to describe it, that is, people are stupid, there is a lot of money, come quickly!
So, it was no surprise that the first quarter of the first game at home was tied 33-17 by the young Timberwolves.
Only in the first quarter, the Timberwolves, who are also a fish belly team, actually led the Knicks by 16 points! Jefferson single-handedly overturned the Knicks' interior line, easily scoring 12 points and 5 boards.
How is this possible? However, when I saw that the two big interior linemen Eddie Curry and Zach Randolph combined had only one foul, the mystery was revealed, others scored 12 points, and they only had one foul, no wonder the head coach's face "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas looked so ugly.
Zheng Ke is still playing this basketball mecca for the first time, and it is also the first away game of his career, but he did not feel the "enthusiasm" of the away fans, you must know that the home team has fallen behind by 16 points in the first quarter, who cares about a new second-round rookie?
Zheng Ke has always been a very simple person, and no one cares about him, which is more in line with his idea of making a fortune in a muffled voice.
To say that although the Timberwolves are young, they don't have that kind of extratroverted personality, this game has been such a dull rhythm from the beginning to the present, Zheng Ke is not a person who spews trash talk on the court, in the face of the former dunk king Quentin Richardson's paper-like defense, Zheng Ke is not polite, a acceleration will pass him, Zheng Ke dribbles the ball all the way to the basket, Randolph just symbolically waved his hand, and let Zheng Ke hit the layup.
"This, this is too easy, isn't it?" Zheng Ke looked at his hands and said in disbelief.
He doesn't know how fast he is now, and with the dribbling ability of 78 that he already has, it is no exaggeration to say that Richardson's water-like defense can pass casually.
Back Marbury shook off Telfair and hit a mid-range jumper. To say that Marbury is also the number one person in the NBA, Marbury at his peak is also a fierce man with an average of 23 points and 8 assists per game, but since arriving at his long-awaited hometown team, which is now the New York Knicks, his state has declined year by year, and he is no longer the courage of the year, and he has achieved the name of a lone wolf.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even in this case, Marbury is not something that a little-known character like Telfair can easily prevent.
As soon as Zheng Ke thought of this, Eddie Curry was stealed by Brewer on the inside. didn't have time to think about it, Zheng Ke desperately ran to the front.
The Timberwolves' Zheng Ke, Green, and Telfair rushed forward together, and the Knicks only had time to defend Marbury.
Brewer's long pass found Telfer, who adjusted twice and shouted: "Empty catch!!" And make a gesture to throw the ball out.
If you want to say that Marbury's ball quotient is really not to say, after seeing that the Timberwolves are three hits and one fast break, he thought about which one to defend, naturally it was Gerald Green, as a famous spring man in the league, Green was naturally taken care of by Marbury at the first time.
But this time Marbury guessed wrong, and Telfair's air pick did not find Green, who was advancing on the left, but Zheng Ke, who was advancing on the right.
"Bang!!"
Zheng Ke stretched out his long arm and received the ball in the air with one hand, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to dunk on the basket, and the sound of his palm slamming on the basket was heard throughout Madison Square Garden through the megaphone behind the rebound!!
At this moment, he seemed to be a desolate beast descending from the sky, wreaking havoc on the poor basket
