Although no superstars have been brought in, the team has a reasonable roster and maintains a lot of salary space and flexibility to operate until next year.

As time passed, so did the new season, and on November 1, 2010, the Knicks' regular season opener was an away game against the Porter-led Trail Blazers.

Perhaps because of the butterfly effect, Brandon Roy, the core of the Trail Blazers, is very healthy, there are no problems with the meniscus at all, and the whole Trail Blazers are also maintaining a positive momentum.

Under the spotlight, as the players appeared one by one, the fans at the scene suddenly became excited, and the four-month offseason made them eager for the arrival of the new season.

The big battle is on the horizon, and both teams are determined to win this game!

On the Knicks' side, Tyberdu did not make major adjustments, with the center position being No. 4 rookie DeMarcus Cousins, the power forward being Li Feng, small forward James Harden, scoring guard Marcus Thornton, and point guard Kerry Lowry.

This lineup has not changed much from last season, and Li Feng is still a big forward, which made some media who broke the news before the game that Li Feng changed to a small forward sigh.

The lineup of the Trail Blazers is - Marcus Camby, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Brandon Roy, Andre Miller. From this lineup, you can see the balance of the Trail Blazers' lineup.

Jump Ball!

In the center of the Rose Garden Stadium, the ten starters of the two teams were receiving thousands of eyes, and the scene suddenly became silent, and the fans who crowded the key arena were nervously looking forward to it, and the fans who watched the ABC TV live broadcast were also nervously looking forward to it.

Force!

Cousins faced the brush Camby, showing no mercy, after jumping. The long arm stretched out to reach the basketball that was falling from the apex, and Thornton received the ball and immediately passed it out. Lowry took possession of the ball and made a forward gesture towards his teammates as he dribbled.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Dribbling and trotting past the center circle, and as he approached the three-point line, Lowry stopped and passed the basketball to Li Feng, who asked for the ball.

The Knicks' first goal was naturally to the boss Li Feng. There is no doubt about it, regardless of whether Li Feng attacks himself or to his teammates.

As soon as he got the basketball, Aldridge posted it, not daring to give Li Feng the slightest space to shoot, and keenly captured the eagerness in Aldridge's eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart:

"It's getting more and more interesting!"

"LaMarcus, we seem to have a lot of fate, and it's an honor to meet you again in the first game of the new season!"

Li Feng said to Aldridge as he dribbled and cruised on the outside. "Sharp. Your changes over the summer have amazed everyone, come on, let me feel your progress! ”

Aldridge almost stuck to Li Feng's side, interfering from time to time, and when he saw Li Feng for the first time before the game, he could clearly feel Li Feng's changes.

Although there is still a strong feeling all over the body, Aldridge invisibly feels a sharpness, and who can predict how much energy this young man can burst out this season. James, who was able to beat the league last season, is now enough to look up to Aldridge. …,

To Aldridge's surprise. Li Feng first hoisted the basketball into the inner line, and the inner line has been emptied. Aldridge will not be easy to defend from beyond the three-point line, and Cousins' ability will be given more leeway. Of course, this point of attack cannot be wasted.

Laysins catches the ball in the low post on the left side and resists Camby.

After observing the defense, Harden pulled to the weak side of the high position, Lowry and Thornton and others quickly cruied to the outside line to open the defense, Li Feng also began to move, and suddenly accelerated to the side of Harden on the weak side, and temporarily threw off Aldridge after blocking and dismantling, and rushed to the bottom line with the change of direction.

Meanwhile.

Cousins also began to move, dribbling his back to Camby, and immediately attracted Aldridge, who was guarding Li Feng, to pass the basketball to Li Feng, who ran quickly from the bottom line next to him, who received the ball, dribbled and turned and jumped, his action not only allowed Aldridge to return to defense, but also attracted Roy on the left wing to shrink and attack.

Collect the ball in the air.

Left-handed, back-to-back pass to the left wing, whoosh, Thornton received the ball, and immediately shot an open three-pointer.

Swish!

The basketball hit the inside edge of the basket and plunged headlong into it, and the Knicks took the lead after the opening game.

"Beautiful!"

The Knicks' bench suddenly became excited.

Thornton threw beautifully, Li Feng passed very beautifully, Wright, who was cheering with his teammates, looked thoughtfully at Thornton who retreated to the backcourt, and said secretly in his heart:

"It's really beautiful to shoot, and I always keep a certain distance from Li Feng when I run, and I shoot resolutely immediately when I have the opportunity to shoot, this is what I should learn!"

"Marcus, well done, it's nice to have you around!"

When Li Feng retreated to the backcourt, he slapped his palms as he staggered past Thornton.

Thornton is becoming more and more like Ray Allen, and this style is really appetizing to Li Feng and the team.

"Your passing is great too!"

Let's be honest.

Thornton found himself really lucky to be with the Knicks, and it was a great pleasure to play next to a star like Li Feng.

The Trail Blazers offense, the Knicks quickly retreated and fell into position, and the concentration on defense was not at all comparable to the D'Antoni period, and whether they could successfully contain the opponent's outside offense will determine the rest of the game.

Cousins and Li Feng on the inside are eyeing Camby and Aldridge respectively, Lowry is against Miller, Thornton is eyeing Roy, the opponent's number one star, and Harden is eyeing the French kid Batum. Miller dribbles the basketball to the top of the three-point arc. Distribute the ball to Roy on the right wing, who wanted to face the basket sideways after receiving the ball, but was tightly clung to the basket by Thornton, which made him uncomfortable - give me a dead stick to Roy, don't let him have any chance to face the basket easily - Tyberdo's pre-game explanation to Thornton is still in his ears, and Thornton faithfully fulfilled the pressing defense.

Gesticulating, Camby came up to do the pick-and-roll. Roy first stepped back and broke through to the right, and suddenly dribbled behind his back to break through.

Cousins stepped back and made way of space. Thornton made his way in front of him and stopped Roy's continued breakthrough in time.

Sou!

The basketball passed straight to the low post on the left side, and after Aldridge received the ball, he immediately dribbled with his back against Li Feng, and slashed hard with his back, but he didn't get the desired result, so he leaned back again. Turned around and stepped back to make a jumper, bang, under the interference of Li Feng's jumping, the basketball hit the basket, Cousins blocked Camby hard, and grabbed the backcourt rebound with a slight jump.

Bang Bang Bang ......

The Knicks turned from defense to offense to chase behind the Trail Blazers, Li Feng rushed to the front court first after returning to receive the ball, Thornton and Lowry quickly followed up from both sides, and just passed through the center circle, Li Feng and Thornton came to a cross switch. rushed in front of Roy, the outside of the right wing. …,

Thornton ran to the perimeter of the weak flank, and Lloris cut straight into the box from the left flank to contain the opposition's defence.

There was a snap.

Li Feng suddenly stopped dribbling and pulled a jumper, and Roy's position when he retreated was obviously more concerned about Li Feng's breakthrough, and he was caught off guard, watching the basketball fly over his head and towards the basket. With a thud, it pierced through the net pocket again.

"This is the Knicks? Why does it feel so complicated? ”

Both the fans who were on the scene.

Or the fans in front of the TV set all had this idea in their hearts.

And those who follow the game are also feeling the change in this rejuvenated Knicks team.

Compared with last season, Li Feng's core position is more clear. Whether it is a positional attack or a fast attack moment from defense to offense, he is the team's first point of attack; Lowry has a decent breakout and air cut. Thornton has been integrated into the team's tactics, Harden's cutting destructiveness is staggering, and all three of them have a strong sense of fast attack, and they will cooperate with Li Feng to further improve the team's offensive and defensive conversion speed.

Tyberdu's tactical arrangement can also maximize Li Feng's comprehensive offensive ability, pass the ball or choose to attack by himself, and considering Li Feng's efficiency in individual offense, the Knicks' offensive strength may have gone up a notch, even if it is not inferior to the Suns and Lakers last season.

And Cousins, the perverse big cat, performed amazingly, and his low-post attack made Camby, who relied on statistics to win the best defensive player, complain.

This is not the main thing, the most important thing is that Cousins actually does not stick to the ball, once the offense is blocked, his passing and strategy on the inside line can reduce a lot of pressure on his body, and at the same time, the cooperation with Li Feng will also exert greater power, so the combination of inside and outside may make many opponents feel helpless.

Coupled with the sensitivity and enthusiasm for rebounding, he will become the Knicks' interior defense barrier with Li Feng, coupled with Harden and Thornton's good outside defense ability, as well as Lowry's offensive and defensive ability that is also steadily improving, the Knicks' defensive performance is also expected, which is much better than the Suns who only rely on offense.

With a better balance between offense and defense, at least the Knicks' roster has made a bigger threat, and it's up to their bench players to perform, once the team has good chemistry in the desired direction, they will truly become another emerging force in the league that threatens the Heat and Lakers.

Maybe this team is still very young, this "young" represents a lack of experience and the rustiness of the overall coordination, but "young" also represents vitality and momentum, whether this double-edged sword can burst out to threaten the opponent's strength, it depends on how Tyberdu and Li Feng wield?

For example, tonight's opener.

The Knicks' determination to work together to win the opening hit gave the opponent a fatal blow, not to mention that they also have a stable core led by Li Feng, and there is no problem with the coordination between the Knicks' main lineup, and the chemistry is violent.
