Chapter 4082: A New Season Begins! Strong opponent Spurs!
"Audience friends, welcome to the sixth game of the 2004-2005 NBA regular season, the Knicks. The Knicks host the Spurs! I'm the narrator Zhang Weiping. ”
"I'm the narrator Su Dong."
In the Huaxia broadcast room, two commentators were talking to the camera with smiles on their faces.
"Today is Tuesday, November 16th. Tomorrow is International University Day, I wonder how many college students are watching the game in front of the TV today?! Su Dong said with a chuckle.
Zhang Weiping, who was on the side, nodded, and then said: "Whether it is a college student or a person who has entered the society, I think I am looking forward to today's game!" ”
"Since the start of the new season, the Knicks have seemed to be testing how well their bench lineup fits in the summer league. And in the official regular season, the opponents in the first five games did not put enough pressure on the Knicks. ”
"In the first five games, the Knicks won comfortably."
"And today's game is the first fierce rival that the Knicks will meet in the new season! Spurs! ”
"I believe that today's game will be very exciting! And it can also make us feel more clearly what kind of changes the Knicks' strength has compared with last season. ”
Su Dong, who was on the side, heard this and added, "Yes." ”
Not only that, but the feud between Knicks head coach Han Ning and the Spurs is already well known. So there's another layer of fun to watch in today's game. ”
"Will the Spurs be able to complete their revenge, or will Han Ning take the Knicks and continue to maintain their victory over the Spurs!"
..............
Just when the two were about to start their warm-up commentary for the game.
In the Madison Garden Arena, Han Ning was looking at the players who were warming up in front of him with a serious face.
As Zhang Weiping and Su Dong said.
The previous Knicks have never encountered a strong opponent in the true sense of the word.
Therefore, it is difficult to detect whether the ability of the new interior four of the Knicks is missing from last season.
Moreover, the defensive tactical system of the substitute lineup is not effective in the face of strong opponents.
Moreover, this year's Spurs, in the original historical process, won the championship.
And now, this Spurs team is without Ginobili.
But before this season, there was also a lot of reinforcements.
First up is Devin Brown.
After playing for the Rockets for two seasons, he ended up with the Spurs as a backup point guard, just as he did in the original course of history.
Subsequently, the Spurs traded Antoine Jamison from the Mavericks with the old cat Mobley.
In the last season, the old cat Mobley performed very well for the Spurs.
Basically, it can be said that it is the top five performance of the sixth man in the entire league.
Trade him for Antoine Jamison, and on the surface, no one will see anything wrong with it.
The value of two people should be considered equal.
However, Han Ning knew it very well.
In this wave, the Spurs made a lot of money!
Even, Han Ning wanted to make a phone call and ask if the general manager of the Spurs team was also reborn.
In the original course of history, it was this season that Antoine Jamison would win the award for the best sixth man of the season.
He averaged 19.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
There is no doubt about this statistic, winning the award for the best sixth man!
And, compared to the old cat Mobley, Antoine Jamison's stability and diversity on the offensive end is definitely one of the team's weapons to attack the city, long shots are just a conventional weapon for him, and what makes defenders more headaches is his half-hook throw after receiving the ball in the back basket of the penalty area.
And Antoine Jamison's physicality and bounce is very good.
Except for the closure, it's a bit unsatisfactory.
But in rebounding, stealing, and defensive skills, they are all very good.
Maybe, compared with Ginobili in the original historical process, it is not so suitable for the Spurs.
But compared to the old cat Mobley, it's much more suitable!
With him, the offensive firepower of the Spurs' bench lineup has been raised by at least one notch!
It can be said that the troika of the Spurs has been reassembled!
Plus a variety of other signings and transfer operations.
The current Spurs team is composed of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Bruce Bowen, Rasu Nesterovic, and Antoine Jamison.
And among the bench lineup, there are also strong players such as Brent Barry, Devin Brown, and Glenn Robinson.
It can be said that the strength of this Spurs team is very strong!
It may even be stronger than in the original course of history!
It is the most appropriate to test the changes in the strength of the Knicks this season.
It is also the best opportunity to verify the Knicks' new big four on the inside.
After all, other teams may not be fighting the Knicks on the inside during the regular season.
But the Spurs are different.
Not to mention others, Tim Duncan will definitely fight hard with the Knicks.
...................
"Toot!"
Finally, the whistle blew and the game officially began.
Da Yao stood in the center circle and jumped the ball with Tim Duncan.
The referee tosses the basketball high.
Then, the two jumped together.
Da Yao was the first to touch the basketball and gave it to his teammates.
The Knicks had the offensive opportunity first.
Allen Iverson dribbles to the frontcourt.
Immediately after that, the Knicks players started running.
After a season of running-in, the Knicks players have become more and more tacit.
Especially when there are no changes to the starting lineup, it is also a big advantage for the Knicks.
The Knicks' first offense ended with a mid-range shot from Allen Iverson.
The two teams played back and forth.
Even the defensive prowess of both teams is among the best in the entire league.
However, neither the Knicks nor the Spurs can completely limit the opponent's offensive firepower.
When the game reached the third minute of the first quarter, Han Ning suddenly called a timeout.
"Toot!"
The whistle blew and the players from both sides returned to their respective benches.
On the commentary bench, Barkley asked a little puzzled: "The game has just begun, the score of the two teams has only reached 7-8, and the Knicks are only 1 point behind, why did Han Ning call this timeout?!" ”
Just when everyone was puzzled, Han Ning looked at a few substitute players and said softly: "Boys, it's time to test whether your efforts during this period of time are worth it!" ”
