Iverson's first game with the Warriors was on the road, they were going to play the Knicks, and coincidentally, the next day they had to go to Minneapolis to challenge the Pacers on the road, which means that Iverson came to the Warriors and immediately had to play back-to-back games.

However, these two games were not very challenging, such as the first game against the Knicks, and they won if nothing else.

The league has been very unstable lately, the big stars and the team are not very happy, Maddy and the Rockets are in a war of words, Pierce is busy explaining to the team about 'I'm going to play in Greece', Conley and Mayo on the Grizzlies' side are grabbing the position of the boss, but compared to the Knicks, the problems encountered by those teams are not a problem.

The Knicks are really in trouble now, their boss Marbury hasn't played for the team all season, the Knicks are bent on cleaning him up, but it's difficult, because Marbury's salary has reached 21.9 million this season, which is 900,000 higher than Iverson, and the Knicks plan to buy him out, but they are reluctant to pay so much money, and Marbury is not giving an inch.

Now all the media in New York are reporting on this bad thing, thanks to Isaiah Thomas, who actually gave Marbury a salary of 21.9 million when he was the head coach of the Knicks, just think about how bold this guy is, it is not enough to describe him with boldness, it should be said how crazy he is!

Marbury's buyout application has not been approved, and in the face of his annual salary of $21.9 million in the last year, Marbury still has no intention of giving in, and the "lone wolf" said that if the Knicks want to buy him, they must pay him "every penny". However, Marbury also said that he can try to help the Knicks ease some salary pressure when signing a new contract.

Seeing this, many people may feel that the Knicks are crazy, and they plan to spend more than $20 million to buy out Marbury, will they sign him to a new contract? It's very likely, but the new contract is a sign-and-trade type, where the Knicks first find a home for Marbury and then sign him with a veteran clause, which can both get rid of him and save money, killing two birds with one stone.

There is a clause in the NBA collective bargaining agreement called the right ofset-off, which is designed to help buy out a player's former club reduce losses. According to the terms and conditions, if Marbury's new contract is a $1.2 million veteran clause, then as a former club, the Knicks can pay him $300,000 less as compensation for themselves.

There is a formula for the enforcement of this clause, according to which the higher Marbury's salary on his new contract, the more money the Knicks can save. As things stand, not only does Marbury have a veteran clause, but some teams with a mid-tier clause are also interested in him, which means he is more than capable of signing a good contract and helping the Knicks reduce some expenses.

Although the Knicks see Marbury as a thorn in the side, in fact, in the eyes of many teams, the lone wolf is still fast, and Chamberlain got the news that 7 to 10 teams in the league are waiting for Marbury's moves. Among them, teams such as the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs, and Dallas Mavericks are ready to compete for Marbury.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was interviewed at Madison Square Garden during the Mavericks' game against the Knicks last Sunday, and the "crazy boss" publicly stated that he was a Marbury fan and frequently professed his love for the "lone wolf."

Once the Knicks planned to dump Marbury to the Warriors, I don't know where the general manager of the Knicks, Watson, got the news that the Warriors planned to trade Ellis for Iverson, so they contacted Nelson Sr. in advance, saying that it was all a trade anyway, what do you want Iverson to do, it is better to ask our Marbury to forget it.

Marbury and Iverson have a lot in common, they are both offensive playmakers, they are both topic kings, they are both rookies in '96 and even their contracts are not much different, but Nelson Sr. only gave a reply to this trade request: You can trade if you want, but we don't want Marbury, we want Crawford.

It's not a joke, the Warriors are now bent on winning the championship, the old Nelson traded Ellis in front, and now they simply want to make it bigger, give the team a major operation, change everything that is not satisfactory, maybe they have a chance to win the championship directly this season.

The Warriors are still not at peace, and the continuous trades have made Harrington unable to sit still, and now look at it, the amazing Warriors who achieved the Black Eight Miracle in 07 have disappeared: Davis and Bidleys were sent away first, Petrus is also gone, and now Ellis and Azubuike have also left, leaving only him and Jackson.

Jackson is okay, the Warriors don't have a good candidate for the small forward position, and he can't play the main force. Harrington is very embarrassed, he is a swing man, playing power forward with insufficient height and strength, playing small forward attack means and speed is not enough, and Nelson Sr. chose Ibaka to develop, so he seems to have more and more success in the Warriors.

Harrington's temperament is also very rebellious, at the end of last season he and the old Nelson on the team's intelligent allocation and position setting disagreement, the worst of the trouble Harrington even to the team to apply for a transfer, and the old Nelson, the madman has never been a person who gives in to the players, the more Harrington makes trouble, the more uncompromising, but slowly dilutes his role in tactics, the old man's coaching philosophy is, "If you can't adapt to my tactical arrangement, then stay where you cool." ”

On the Knicks' side, Jamal Crawford is also a chicken rib.

He's the kind of backcourt player who is good at singles, and the Knicks just got a new coach - the Suns fired De Anthony soon after the start of the season, and the team's record has plummeted since the introduction of O'Neal, and there are always people who have to pay for this failed deal for the team, and unfortunately, D'Anthony has become this person.

However, D'Antoni is now famous, he just left the Suns and was immediately hired by the Knicks. The last thing D'Antoni wants to see is the defender sticking to the ball, and of course Nash is a special exception.

But Crawford's best attack is to find rhythm in the dribble, and if the ball stays in the hands of a player for too long, D'Antoni's tactical system will be on the verge of collapse, since D'Antoni arrived Crawford has played a mess, before D'Antoni came to D'Antoni before he scored 25+ in 5 consecutive games, after his arrival, it immediately became 15+: his technical characteristics are really not Anthony's type.

In short, Crawford, like Marbury, is a player that needs to be eliminated by the team, and the only difference between the two is that he's more obedient and doesn't hurt the team's locker room unity, plus he has a lot of trade value.

Crawford is actually a great fit for the Warriors system, because of Ellis's injury and West's sixth man, the Golden State Bandits' previous scoring guard position is mainly Klenner Azubuok and the recently red and purple undrafted rookie Anthony Morrow, although Morrow has broken two records in a row (the first start scoring record and the undrafted rookie single-game scoring record), this person is at most Azubuike's level, in other words, these two people are competent bench bandits, but they still lack the heat to play the start.

Nelson's team never criticizes a player's shot selection, in fact, the essence of his tactics is to pull away and create mismatches for players to single, and Crawford's singles ability in the Bay Area can be fully unleashed, so as to help Chamberlain pull up enough gaps.

But with the arrival of Iverson, Nelson Sr. doesn't want Crawford anymore: with Iverson, who is stronger than Crawford's singles, what else does he want the former for? It's not good to have more singles kings, after all, there is only one ball, and the old Nelson also hopes that it is Chamberlain who occupies the most shots.

In addition, the Warriors are now moving away from traditional small-ball tactics and embarking on a new type of run-and-gun.

With the transformation of the Warriors and the Suns, this small-ball tactic seems to have died down in the league, and teams like the Toronto Raptors have even begun to use Jermaine O'Neal, Chris Bosh and Andrea Bagnani to form a three-tall seven-foot frontcourt, but the crazy scientist Nelson Sr. is going against the current, and the Warriors' run-and-gun basketball has to some extent transcended the shackles of winning and losing.

All in all, there is an indescribable relationship between the Knicks and the Warriors now, and it is in this strange atmosphere that the game begins.

The starting lineup for the Knicks is: center David Lee, power forward Zach Randolph, small forward Quentin Richardson, playmaking guard Nate Robertson, and scoring guard Crawford.

The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Harrington, small forward Jackson, playmaking guard Curry, and shooting guard Iverson.

In the unspeakable, both D'Antoni and Nelson Sr. changed their starting lineups, otherwise Crawford would be the Knicks' sixth man and Harrington would be on the periphery. Seeing each other's starting arrangements, the two coaches glanced at each other from a distance across most of the field, and then showed a tacit smile.

After research, the elder Nelson still put Iverson in the position of scoring guard, and decided to completely liberate his attacking power, otherwise Billups would be very awkward when he returned, and anyway, what he was going to play was an offense-oriented game, and the more Iverson attacked, the happier he was.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the two sides stood in the middle circle and jumped the ball with 216cm Chamberlain (height with shoes) and 206cm David Lee (also height with shoes). Chamberlain looked down at David Lee and then picked the ball out to Curry as he jumped the ball.

David Li expected this result, he came up to jump the ball just to make a show, and he didn't even have his heels up, which shows what his fighting spirit looks like.

Curry held the ball past half court and then looked at Iverson, although the latter looked like he was running in a breezy manner, in fact, the corner of his eye has been glancing at Curry, he just came and made a military order in front of the reporters, and he will not shoot again, so he is embarrassed to go up and ask for the ball, otherwise according to his temper, the parade would have started a long time ago - Iverson parade, this is a name for the offensive mode given to him by 76ers fans, Iverson was too fast at his peak, and he used to rush directly into the restricted area after getting the ball, As a result, when he ran to the penalty area, his teammates had just passed half the court, so he had no choice but to run out with the ball again, so he wantonly entered and exited the opponent's penalty area, as if the Führer was reviewing the soldiers under his command, as easily.

As soon as Curry passed, Iverson suddenly looked overjoyed, he smiled and suddenly possessed himself, Richardson knew that he was going to break through and hurriedly retreat, but where was the time? He only felt a flower in his eyes, and Chamberlain also only felt a flower in front of him, and Iverson's figure disappeared directly!

What does it mean to be lightning fast? That's what Iverson's breakthrough is!

Richardson hurriedly retreated and stretched his arms at the same time, as a result, Iverson's thin body leaned out to the right front of the right and took a left foot with the ball in his right hand, Richardson continued to retreat, Iverson's shoulder was pulled back abruptly, and the ball in his right hand was passed to his left hand like lightning, and as soon as he changed direction significantly, he completely threw off Richardson and went directly into the penalty area.

Iverson rushed into the penalty area to put away the ball and jumped, David Lee jumped up to block, but Iverson took back his raised hand, bypassed the opponent's body and passed the ball out.

Seeing the orange ball flying to his chest, Chamberlain grabbed the ball, at this time he was already vacant, David Lee was attracted by Iverson and jumped up, there was a Randolph next to him, but can you expect Randolph to make up for the defense? And it is also a terrifying warrior like Chamberlain, so in D'Antoni's angry gaze, Chamberlain easily dunked!
