Chapter 385: The brain-dead general manager of the Knicks
(Ask for recommendation)
"The first quarter of the game was so exciting, everyone probably didn't expect the Boston Celtics to have such a performance, they took the absolute initiative from the beginning, Tracy showed everyone his ability, he can not only score but also pass, now he really doesn't look like the confusion of the previous games, now the small forward's eyes seem to be full of fighting spirit, it is clear that he has found his way forward, and this game also allows us to see the offensive talent of Coach Z's team againThis is the first time that the Boston Celtics have scored 30 points in a single quarter this season under the command of Coach Z, although from now on this point of view there is still a big gap between Wake Forest or the Timberwolves, but after all, this is a team that has just been rebuilt, and the opponent is also a powerful Knicks, it is not easy for them to do this step, although it seems that today's Knicks have completely lost the style of winning the first two games, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is disappointing, Now they're 10 points behind."
When the first quarter of this game ended, the ABC commentator on the sidelines shouted excitedly, at this time he was as excited as many fans who are looking forward to the resurgence of Coach Z, but compared to Michaels, the gorilla Ewing next to him looked lost, this is the first time he has returned here as a commentator, although this team has abandoned him in order to support Alan Houston, but seeing the team's inside line in the first quarter by the Chinese kid and the little O'Neal completely exploded This also made Ewing a little emotional. []
This Knicks is losing its traditions, what was once the strongest point here has now become the weakest point, and more importantly, as the team leader, Alan Houston, who signed a 6-year, 100 million contract this season, will only score 2 points on 1-of-6 shooting under Jackson's defense, if it weren't for Sprewell's hard work, the team would be really about to collapse now.
"Compared to the Boston Celtics. The New York Knicks are more like a team that needs to be rebuilt," Patrick Ewing sighed helplessly. At this time, he thought of the general manager of the team, Dolan, and his heart sank when he thought of the rich second-generation gorilla.
"Tracy, that's a beautiful job. The first quarter of this game is the best of all your games," Zhuang Fei smiled and patted Maddie's shoulder who came down from the court and said, the small forward's technical ability is not to say, mainly the epiphany and change in consciousness and style of play. Zhuang Fei knew that when he asked Maddie to change, although this guy had no opinion, he always had a pimple in his heart, which also hindered the progress of this small forward and the progress of the team, but from the first quarter of this game, this small forward really accepted it.
"Thank you, coach" Maddie looked at the somewhat excited Chinese in front of him and was also grateful, if he lived in the shadow of Carter before and didn't know how to surpass Carter, then now, this small forward knows the direction he overtakes Carter, and the person who finds the direction for him is the Chinese in front of him. He is sincere in his gratitude to this Chinese.
Looking at Maddie like this, Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded slightly, he had always had no good impression of the Maddie Zhuang Fei who wasted his talent in his previous life, but from the current point of view, this small forward is very good. It's really good.
Boston's performance right now is indeed surprising to many. This is especially true of Don Channey, the host of the Knicks on one side, and the New York Knicks coach originally thought that the Knicks should be able to use the advantage of the second team to chase the score when the Boston Celtics' main team is down. But in the end, things turned out to be a little helpless for the coach.
"How can this guy be so good" Chaney looked at the Arenas on the court who once again relied on his personal ability to break through to the position near the basket and then immediately stopped the mid-range jumper, this point guard's offense reminded him of the Nets' Cassel, a stop-and-go jump shot that kept breaking through. And the Knicks' backup point guard, the 32-year-old veteran Charlie Ward, can't guard him at all, this is also a very experienced player, but the veteran is really helpless in the face of Arenas's somewhat unreasonable shooting. …,
As a result, the New York Knicks, who were expecting to chase points with their bench lineup, now look more like they are going to be wiped out by the Boston Celtics' bench lineup.
"Coach, Arenas feels really good today" Stephen Green, who is a little ungodly on the court now, is also a little surprised by Arenas on the sidelines, this guy has the highest iron rate in the team in the first few games.
Zhuang Fei on the side smiled and nodded, now Arenas's state is like a full game, in the previous game when Arenas played, the Boston Celtics were generally in a backward position, even if there was a lead, but the lead was not big, so Arenas must be a little restrained in such an environment, afraid that the team would lose for their own reasons, which also made the point guard with a strong attack look like he was trapped in the previous game, the offense was very hesitant, and the assist was also very entangled, In the end, it became extremely mediocre, and today's game when he played the Boston Celtics had a 10-point lead, at this time the Celtics took the absolute initiative, and he himself can unload the psychological baggage and play according to his own style, from the current point of view, this effect is very good, when the guard does not hesitate to attack, the shooting rate does improve.
After five minutes in the second quarter, the Boston Celtics' second lineup, led by Arenas, widened the margin again, and the gap between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks had risen to 15 points after the team's main players came on.
Although the New York Knicks' organizational guard is Mark Jackson, the team's ball is now more in the hands of Sprewell and Odom, especially their all-around forward Odom, the youngest triple-double player in NBA history has slowly risen and begun to become the best player on the Knicks' court, and in the first two games, it was because of his excellent performance that the Knicks were able to maintain the victory, but in today's game, The young forward, who has a mismatch advantage in both the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, struggled to meet O'Neal Jr., which made the former dual-core Knicks now look completely Sprewell's single-core.
Now it looks like the Boston Celtics, who have been criticized by experts for their offensive chaos, are much more orderly than the current Knicks.
"FVCK, I didn't expect this Boston Celtics to be considered shit by those pundits" New York Knicks head coach Chaney was a little resentful after glancing at the Boston bench, it was obvious that the head coach was underestimating the strength of this team.
In this game, the Boston Celtics played very aggressively, and now the Celtics have an advantage both inside and outside, although Yao Ming looks much taller than Cott Thomas, but there is no problem at all in terms of foot movement, and when defending, Channy arranged for Kort Thomas to use speed to bully the Chinese rookie, but in the end, he did not bully Yao Ming, but was bullied by Yao Ming's footsteps on the defensive end.
"This kind of footwork can only be taught by that guy," Channy watched on the court, Yao Ming leaned on Coatthomas's basket after receiving Maddy's pass, and several consecutive feints directly flew the experienced interior player, and after the dot Cott Thomas, the Chinese interior directly under the basket was a two-handed dunk. Seeing the footsteps of this Chinese interior basket, Channy remembered his former junior and teammate McHale when he was in Boston. And he also knew that McHale had taken in a Chinese kid in addition to Garnett, a closed disciple.
The current situation on the court is extremely unfavorable to the New York Knicks, and from various aspects, it can be clearly concluded that the Boston Celtics are crazy, and now every player of the Celtics seems to be able to play, which is extremely fatal for a 'pseudo-strong team' like the Knicks, and the pressure on the Knicks is too great now. …,
"This Boston Celtics are crazy," Michaels of Madison Garden Plaza said with some excitement after seeing the performance of the Boston Celtics in the first half of this game, and Patrick Ewing next to him also nodded helplessly.
From the current point of view, this game is the New York Knicks have been blown up.
And when the first half of the game ended, the difference between the two sides had successfully come to more than 20 points, the Boston Celtics gave the Knicks a 63-42 in the first half, the Boston Celtics led the Knicks by 20 points, and the best player in the first half of this game was naturally the Celtics' Maddy, the small forward scored 14 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, which is beyond reproach in any way, whether it is Yao Ming's 12 points or Arenas's 10 points in a single quarter, it is not as good as him.
"Looks like we need some new players"
Dolan, the general manager of the Knicks in the audience at Madison Garden Plaza, turned his whole face black after seeing the performance of the New York Knicks in the first half, it is obvious that the rich second generation of the Knicks is extremely dissatisfied with the current team, Dolan Jr. is venting his anger, and the assistant next to Dolan Jr. is a little helpless.
This guy actually gave Alan Houston a contract of hundreds of millions, so how much money will it cost if the Knicks want to add real stars in the future? Now the Knicks' salary scale is completely disrupted by this rich second generation next to him. In the future, the Knicks will probably have trouble bringing in players.
