Chapter 152: "The Father of Basketball", Commentary Career! (10,000-character chapter, kneeling and begging for a monthly pass)
On the evening of the 14th, in the game with the Greek men's basketball team, Wang Shuo adjusted the starters of the Dream Team, with Xiao Si, Duncan, Marion, Kobe Bryant, and Arenas playing.
In this game, the head coach of the Greek men's basketball team, Giannakis, also wants to limit the Dream Team's offense by switching back and forth between a four-star and a man-to-man as he did two years ago, and then ......
In the first round of the game, when Arenas held the ball over half court and handed Duncan, Kobe and Marion came out from both sides to respond, and Arenas took advantage of Kobe Bryant's cover to pop outside the three-point line, and Giannakis was stupid.
In front of the TV, Greek fans are no strangers to this scene.
Because in the World Championship final two years ago, they were shown alive by the Spaniards with this tactic called "Spanish blocking".
The interior and wings of this Greek men's basketball team are actually quite average.
In '06, Coach K also saw this, but the strategy he adopted at that time was to attack the interior and wing of the Greek men's basketball team, and create opportunities for outside shooting by breaking through the ball.
But in the face of this Greek team, which has strong discipline and tactical execution, the effect of the strong attack is not good.
The Spanish men's basketball team later taught the U.S. men's basketball team a lesson in the final.
As long as you make more use of off-ball coverage and down on both sides, as well as aggressive movement, it will not be difficult to beat this Greece team.
However, unfortunately, even if Coach K knew the answer afterwards, he would not have a chance to complete his revenge.
"That's why you're bringing Sean, right? His air cuts allow us to have more tactical options to choose from. On the bench of the dream team, D'Antoni looked at Wang Shuo and smiled.
Wang Shuo nodded and said, "No matter how good the team is, it can't all bring players who can only play with the ball, and Sean's ability is far underestimated." ”
On this night, the Dream Team completely broke through the Greek defense, and the most frustrating thing was that the U.S. men's basketball team kept the whole court tight throughout the game.
The guards of the Greek men's basketball team do not have the problem of not being able to dribble the ball across the half court, but the original intention of the Dream Team to defend the whole court was only to delay the Greek team's half-court attack.
As for the physical exertion that comes with defending the full-court press?
In the first quarter of the game, after about 4 minutes of play, Wang Shuo asked D'Anthony to call Howard, Garnett, Anthony, Wade, and Iverson.
Unlike the starting lineup, the U.S. men's basketball team's second lineup on this night not only featured Wade and Iverson, two top supercars.
And there are also Howard and Garnett, two big rebounders.
Therefore, Wang Shuo is fully willing to call this lineup as:
- "Playing with the four protection melons".
Anthony made a good shot in the second half of the first quarter, hitting four of them from the outside line with six three-pointers in the first quarter.
The Greek men's basketball team was overwhelmed by the Dream Team's transition offense, and Giannakis thought that the Dream Team replaced Wade and Iverson in order to force the Greek team's interior line, but where did he think that Iverson and Wade were just Anthony's auxiliaries?
In front of the television, American fans were equally amazed by the performance of the Dream Team on this night.
Because in the first quarter alone, the Dream Team played an outrageous score of 37-17.
Wang Shuo feels that Durant is not out of the mountain yet......
Otherwise, he and Anthony, one starter and one substitute, Wang Shuo didn't know how to play the opponent of the dream team.
In addition, the problem of "forced to install the passing button" encountered by the previous American men's basketball team does not exist here in Wang Shuo.
The so-called "forced to install the pass button" refers to the fact that because everyone in the U.S. men's basketball team is a superstar, even if a player is in good shape in a certain game, he will share the ball with his teammates on the court as much as possible like Carter.
Before Wang Shuo's crossing, the U.S. men's basketball team's Olympic single-game scoring record was held by Anthony with 37 points, while the World Championships single-game scoring record was held by Durant with 38 points.
From these two records, it is not difficult to see that the U.S. men's basketball team, which was forced to have high emotional intelligence as soon as it arrived at the national team, did not take advantage of their star advantage.
Wang Shuo saw that Anthony was full of hands on this night, so after the first quarter of the game, Wang Shuo called all the players together and said: "Cameron feels good tonight, I hope everyone can pass the ball to Cameron more, do you have any objections?" ”
Hearing this, Garnett was the first to raise his hand and said: "I've loved watching Cameron since I was a child!" ”
Although he was a little envious in his heart, Kobe Bryant also raised his hand and said: "Coach, you know, I have always been a team player, and what I am best at is assisting my teammates to score in the game, as long as you need it, I can pass the ball to Cameron all night." ”
What is "forced to load the ball button"?
Wang Shuo's thinking is very simple, in this Olympic Games, whoever is in good shape, then he will use whoever is Jordan who picks off the passing button.
On that night, Anthony finally lived up to expectations and scored 47 points and broke the Olympic single-game scoring record in the history of the U.S. men's basketball team.
The full-court score of the two teams was 119-74, and the U.S. men's basketball team took a perfect revenge on the Greek men's basketball team with a 45-point victory!
After the game, the American coaches who were still waiting to see Wang Shuo's jokes collectively shut up.
Anthony said in an interview after the game: "It's incredible, it was a perfect night, both for me and for the U.S. men's basketball team.
My teammates are very selfless and my coach encourages me to play more in the game.
The coach understands the characteristics of each of us and has designed the most suitable tactics for us! ”
After a day of rest, on the evening of the 16th, facing the Spanish men's basketball team, although they were killed by "Brother Peng" in the previous game, the Spanish men's basketball team did not change the strategic policy they had formulated before the game to preserve their strength in the group stage.
Because compared to Group B, which was known as the Group of Death before the start of the game, none of the opponents in Group A are their opponents in the eyes of the Spanish men's basketball team.
In this game, due to the reservations of the Spanish team, the U.S. men's basketball team finally won easily 125-80.
Wang Shuo played Curry for the entire quarter in the fourth quarter.
For no other reason, the Spanish men's basketball team is staying, and the Dream Team is also staying.
On the 18th, in the final game of the group stage, because the German men's basketball team had no fighting spirit as Wang Shuo remembered, the American men's basketball team also successfully created a record for the largest single-game winning margin since the start of this Olympic Games with a score of 127-61.
Historically, the U.S. men's basketball team won 106-57 in this game, and this game became one of the reasons why James took the lead in mocking Nowitzki for pretending to be sick in the Finals.
But in this life, James, who missed the Olympic squad of the Dream Team...... At this moment, he was biting his thumb while drawing circles and cursing Wang Shuo.
Young Ajan has not been in a good mood this summer.
However......
He could only watch Anthony and Wade chop melons and vegetables and harvest traffic in the Olympics, how did he know that Wang Shuo was to urge him to progress and spur him to continue to evolve, so he didn't choose to take him to this Olympics?
At the end of the group stage, the Dream Team won all 5 games under the leadership of Wang Shuo, with an average net score of 46.4 points per game.
Many American media believe that the American men's basketball team under the leadership of Wang Shuo surpassed the dream of the year.
Because compared to 1992, 16 years later, the opponent of the American men's basketball team is significantly stronger.
The NBA stars who were selected for this year's Dream Team feel that they have made a lot of money, because it is far easier to follow Wang Shuo, the "old father", to be the savior of American basketball than they imagined.
The U.S. has received praise for the dream team, and NBA commissioner Stern has decided to give more off-court weighting and resource tilt to the U.S. men's basketball team that will participate in the Olympics next season as a sign of encouragement.
The U.S. men's basketball team successfully qualified for the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games by finishing first in the group.
The Chinese men's basketball team beat Spain and Greece and became the second in Group B.
Wang Shipeng's two-year-late strike changed history and changed the situation of Group B of this Olympic Games.
Although in the final game of the group stage, as long as the Greek team defeats the Chinese men's basketball team, they can successfully achieve it, China won Spain, and Spain won them, and they won the perfect closed loop of China.
However, since the Greek men's basketball team had previously lost to Spain with a score of 64-87 in their opening game, the Greek men's basketball team found out after calculating the small scores......
They have to win the Chinese men's basketball team by at least 45 points in the final game of the group stage against the Chinese men's basketball team to have a chance to compete for second place in the group by comparing scoring percentages.
With a minimum of 14 points to win the Chinese men's basketball team, they can enter the top three of the group by a small advantage.
Historically, after preparing for the quarterfinals against Lithuania in advance and with reservations, the Chinese men's basketball team only lost to the Greek team by 14 points with a score of 77-91.
But this life ......
With the opportunity to compete for second place in the group and avoid the two strong opponents of Lithuania and Argentina in Group A, what choice do Younas and the Chinese men's basketball team need to make?
The Olympic Games have a very dense schedule, and it is the consensus of all the strong teams to preserve their strength as much as possible in the group stage.
For example, in Group A, the previous four games were won to lock the first place in the group in advance, but in the final game of the group stage, they lost to the Lithuanian men's basketball team of the Australian team, which was fourth in the same group.
Giannakis knows very well that once the host Chinese men's basketball team comes up with a desperate posture in this game, it will fight the Greek men's basketball team......
Even if the Greek men's basketball team can win, they will have to pay a heavy price.
And they may not be able to achieve their goal of winning the Chinese men's basketball team by at least 14 points to get into the top three of the group through a small score advantage.
Therefore, Giannakis and the Greek men's basketball team decisively adopted the tactic of "playing and seeing" in this game.
In the first half of the game with the Chinese men's basketball team, the Greek men's basketball team pressed the whole court as Wang Shuo remembers, trying to quickly open the score by making mistakes for the Chinese team.
Giannakis's thinking is very clear, if he can quickly open the score, then in the second half of this game, the Greek men's basketball team will continue to use all its strength to compete for the third place in this group.
But it's a pity......
In the past two years, in the high-intensity training camp in Las Vegas, the Chinese men's basketball team, which was tortured by Wang Shuo and the Dream Team, has indeed made some progress in breaking the full-court pressing in this life.
The first half ended, 40-41.
The fierceness and determination of the Chinese men's basketball team fighting at home have exceeded Giannakis's imagination.
Therefore, in the second half of the game, Giannakis, who knew that he would only lose both sides if he continued to play like this, decisively replaced five substitutes and prepared to stay in the next quarterfinals.
In the end, with Yi Jianlian's late game and failed to stage a quasi-stunner in the game against the German men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated the Greek men's basketball team with a score of 76-74.
The victory in this game certainly has a certain element of luck, as well as the off-court weighting of being the host, and objective factors such as the Greek men's basketball team not wanting to fight with the Chinese men's basketball team in this game.
But as Yi Jianlian said in an interview after the game, "The training camp in Las Vegas in the past two years has made it possible for us to beat these top European teams." ”
Younas also said at the press conference: "In Las Vegas, Wang gave me a lot of inspiration, and at the same time, the high-level training camp also allowed our players to adapt to higher-level competitions and confrontations in advance. ”
If you don't understand, just ask, can the training camp really bring such a big change to the Chinese men's basketball team?
A: You have to see who the Chinese men's basketball team's training opponents are in the past two years.
Wang Shuo knows very well that even if he comes to lead the Chinese men's basketball team, the effect will be no different from Younas.
It's like if you cook and only give you green peppers and shredded meat, you can't make strawberry-flavored mapo tofu.
Therefore, find a way to let the players of the Chinese men's basketball team improve as much as possible and adapt to high-level confrontations and games in advance, so that the Chinese men's basketball team can achieve that unrealized goal under the leadership of Younas, the "Caesar of Europe".
According to the next schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Croatia in Group A in the quarterfinals, while the United States men's basketball team led by Wang Shuo will face Australia.
At 8 p.m. on August 20, the U.S. men's basketball team took the lead in the game against the Australian team.
In the face of the Australian men's basketball team led by Bodogt, the outside stars of the American men's basketball team broke out one after another.
Wade had 25 points, four rebounds and five assists.
Arenas hit five three-pointers for a total of 20 points.
Anthony and Smalls each scored 18 points.
Kidd combined with Iverson for 23 points.
Among them, Kidd single-handedly slashed 1 point, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Kobe Bryant also played well in this game, helping Duncan, Garnett, and Howard to complete the second offense in the front court many times in the game.
In this game, the finishing score of the two teams was 125-78, and the dream team won a 47-point victory and successfully advanced to the semifinals of the Olympic Games.
Later, the Chinese men's basketball team narrowly defeated the Croatian men's basketball team with a score of 66-61 with Yao Ming's 30 points and 10 rebounds, and entered the semifinals of the Olympic Games in a record.
Next, the two sets of matchups in the top four are the United States team against the Spanish team, and the Chinese men's basketball team against the Lithuanian men's basketball team.
On the 22nd, the Chinese men's basketball team finally lost to the Lithuanian men's basketball team 74-89 and missed the final.
Regarding the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Olympic Games, the mood of Chinese fans can only be described as ecstatic.
Yao Ming proved his all-time No. 1 center at the Olympics, averaging 24.7 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks per game.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team missed the finals, the vast majority of Chinese fans believe that the Chinese men's basketball team has completed the oversized task in this Olympic Games.
Wang Shuo became the most discussed topic at this Olympic Games.
American fans see him as a god, the "father of modern American basketball" who led the Dream Team back to glory.
In the eyes of Chinese fans, he is a good comrade who is in Milican and does not forget to use his power to benefit Chinese basketball.
At 10 o'clock in the evening of the 22nd, at the Wukesong Basketball Gym, the U.S. men's basketball team led by Wang Shuo did not give the Spanish men's basketball team, which finally went all out after entering the knockout stage, a chance.
In this game, Wang Shuo once again adjusted the starting point of the U.S. men's basketball team, using Duncan to play the No. 5 position, and Garnett to play the No. 4 position.
With Marion and Kobe Bryant on the wings, the U.S. men's basketball team defended the whole game and didn't give Spain a few opportunities to shoot outside.
On the contrary, Spain's joint defense is full of holes in front of the Dream Team.
Especially when the U.S. men's basketball team changed to the bench lineup, Anthony and Arenas, two big snipers, teamed up to shoot through the defense of the Spanish men's basketball team.
In fact, this Spain team can only cause problems for the American team, Gasol.
In Wang Shuo's memory, in the face of this team that cooperated tacitly and would intersperse a lot of off-ball coverage and running in the game, the defensive strategy adopted by the old K coach was man-to-man defense, but the Spanish team found the feeling of the game, and was even forced to score by the Spanish men's basketball team in the game.
But after adopting joint defense, no matter how tacit Spain's cooperation is, they also have to break the defense of the US men's basketball team by breaking the joint defense.
Can......
No matter how well the Spanish defense is broken, it is difficult for them to get easy shots on the court in the face of the group of assistant defense monsters that Wang Shuo specially brought for them.
Of course, the most important thing is that through the previous game, Wang Shuo has already made Anthony throw his hand.
That's the way it is in a tournament format, and once a player of Anthony's calibre finds his groove in a tournament, he's likely to be on point from start to finish.
In the second half, because the U.S. men's basketball team's outside three-point shooting was too accurate, the Spanish men's basketball team had to change to man-marking for a while.
But the mann-to-man marker is even less effective.
Because after noticing that Spain changed to guard man-marking, the stars of the Dream Team can cut through the defense of the Spanish men's basketball team with their individual ability alone.
In the end, 117-84, after a lot of hard work all night, the U.S. men's basketball team successfully advanced to the finals.
In this game, Anthony shot 9 of 14 from the field, including 7 of 10 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring a total of 29 points and 5 rebounds.
Arenas shot 7-of-11 from the field, including 5-of-7 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, for a total of 21 points, three rebounds and four assists.
Through this game, Wang Shuo taught another lesson to the American coaches in front of the TV.
Especially the American coaches who previously questioned Wang Shuo with Arenas without Paul.
Since the only traditional point guard on the U.S. men's basketball team is Jason Kidd, many U.S. coaches were worried about the Dream Team's lack of offense before the game.
But with the development of modern basketball, who said that a team's offense can only be organized by a point guard?
At 2:30 p.m. on the 24th, the Dream Team ushered in the Olympic final against the Lithuanian team.
In the previous third and fourth finals, the Chinese men's basketball team finally lost to the Spanish men's basketball team with a score of 77-87 and missed the medal.
In this match against Lithuania, the U.S. men's basketball team played even more easily than the previous semifinals.
Because the Lithuanian team does not have a particularly outstanding star player, their greatest strength is their strong overall combat ability.
Relying on tacit cooperation, superb tactical awareness, and tactical execution cultivated since childhood, the Lithuanian men's basketball team has always been one of the top teams in the world basketball world.
But this night, in the face of the American men's basketball team under Wang Shuo's whip, everyone has to do dirty work and tiring work, and whoever dares to spread his hands on the court has to go back to the locker room, what will the Lithuanian men's basketball team do?
On the court, after the first half of the game, the Olympic final has entered the show time of the U.S. men's basketball team.
Xiao Si and Howard frequently complete the empty connection with their own defenders on the court.
Even Duncan staged a power split at the Wukesong Basketball Arena.
In the end, the score of the two teams was 121-80, and the U.S. men's basketball team successfully won the gold medal of this Olympic Games.
Anthony, Arenas and Wade were named to the Olympic Team of the Tournament along with Yao Ming and Gasol.
Under the leadership of Wang Shuo, the U.S. men's basketball team created an average of 44.1 points per game in this competition, which also broke the Olympic record of 43.8 points per game for the Dream First team.
On the Internet, American fans believe that under the leadership of Wang Shuo, the U.S. men's basketball team has finally cleared the haze of losing three consecutive major tournaments.
The American coaches who were originally looking forward to Wang Shuo's overturn have also changed their tunes, believing that Wang Shuo is indeed a well-deserved "father of modern American basketball".
After the award ceremony, all the players of the U.S. men's basketball team hung the gold medal around Wang Shuo's neck, and Garnett took out the cigar that had been prepared in advance and lit the cigar for Wang Shuo to celebrate the victory.
In an interview after the game, Kidd was very moved and said: "We have successfully completed redemption this year. ”
Garnett said, "King taught us how to play basketball properly, we just had to follow his instructions and we could easily beat every opponent." ”
Howard also believes that under Wang Shuo, his offensive ability has made a qualitative leap.
Of course, this is most likely a misunderstanding.
Because of this Olympics, Wang Shuo has been using Howard as a blue-collar worker.
The reason why he can always get a chance to dunk on the court is mainly because when Anthony and Arenas shoot through the opponent's defense, the opponents of the American men's basketball team will selectively let him go.
"This year at BJ, I think I proved myself again, but unfortunately, the coach of the American team in '06 was not Wang Shuo." Wade, who was named to the Olympic Team of the Year, said in an interview.
If you say, people are tired of hearing the praise of Wang Shuo from the players Wang Shuo once coached......
This year, Wang Shuo has conquered basketball fans all over the world in every sense.
In this Olympics, Duncan averaged 10.5 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game, and Garnett, who has played about the same amount of time as him, is no worse than Duncan in all statistics.
Many people believe that if Garnett can be coached by Wang Shuo, then he will definitely be able to reach higher heights.
Not to mention Anthony, the best player of the U.S. men's basketball team at this Olympics.
As the biggest winner of the dream team, when Anthony jumped on Wang Shuo's back with a naughty face like Iverson did, people saw how happy Anthony was playing under Wang Shuo from Anthony's sweet smile.
As a member of the U.S. men's basketball coaching staff, Barkley commented: "I don't think Wang Shuo needs to prove anything anymore.
All the players who have played under him know how happy it is to play under him. ”
Kobe Bryant's performance in this Olympics is average.
Because the composition of the Dream Team's lineup and scoring efficiency are determined, it is impossible for Wang Shuo to let him fire recklessly in the game.
But Kobe Bryant himself didn't care about it.
In an interview after the game, Kobe Bryant was more concerned about his younger brother Stephen Curry, "Stephen is definitely one of the most valuable assets for the future of American basketball.
Even though he didn't get a lot of playing time, I saw courage and determination in him every time he played. ”
In the future, the American singer who has a good relationship with Kobe Bryant said in an interview that when Kobe Bryant retired and he didn't know who else he could watch in the NBA in the future, Kobe Bryant said bluntly to him at the time: "I think you should go to a Stephen Curry game, buddy, you will definitely fall in love with basketball because of it." ”
Historically, in many public interviews, Kobe Bryant has never hidden his love for Curry.
Therefore, not to mention the "primary school student" who is likely to become his right-hand man in the future?
In addition, before the start of the game, those European media who firmly believed that the European powerhouses would definitely cause trouble for the American men's basketball team also lamented: "For whom is the death knell sounding at this moment?" Today, the death knell is ringing for European basketball and world basketball! ”
European media unanimously believe that under the leadership of Wang Shuo, American basketball has not only returned to the top, but also further widened the gap between them and world basketball.
At this Olympic Games, the domestic media of Europe's powerhouses, who were abused by the Dream Team, angrily denounced European stars who would rather stay in the European league and get a high salary than go to the NBA: "Stop entertaining yourself and working behind closed doors!" European basketball needs to remeasure the gap between it and American basketball. ”
When criticizing these European stars, the European media also justifiably used the Chinese men's basketball team as an example.
Why can the Chinese men's basketball team reach the semifinals in this Olympics?
Because the Chinese men's basketball team has been training with the American men's basketball team for the past two years!
……
After the Olympic Games, Wang Shuo's holiday officially began.
Because the Lakers are currently resolutely implementing the strategy of "fishing for the king", and Marc Gasol has a good performance in this Olympics, Xiao Ga, who is about to land in the NBA in the new season, has also become a young player that the Lakers have decided to support.
During the Olympics, there were no major transactions in the NBA, but TNT and ESPN both sent invitations to Wang Shuo, hoping that he could make a guest appearance during the vacation to explain the tactics to American fans in front of the TV.
Originally, Wang Shuo wanted to refuse.
But then I thought that in the year when he was not in the NBA, the LeBron James he had in mind might be slack, so when communicating with Barkley about the commentary that day, Wang Shuo smiled: "I can come to TNT TV to commentate, but I only broadcast the Clippers' live broadcast games in the United States." ”
Hearing this, Buckley was suddenly shocked in his heart.
Because in his opinion, this probably means that Wang Shuo will choose the Clippers to coach after the vacation!
In September, as NBA teams sounded the rallying cry one after another, whether the New York Knicks could achieve four consecutive championships in the new season under the leadership of Mike Brown has also become the topic of most concern.
On the media day, Brown was very low-key and never mentioned the matter of leading the team to defend the title in the new season.
Brown is a smart guy, and as early as last season, he and Wang Shuo had already sensed Stern's determination to sanction the Knicks.
And, after the Knicks successfully built a dynasty, many of the young players on the current team did slack off in the summer.
This situation will not change even Brown in the short term.
He can only hope that as the season progresses, these players will be able to regain the heart that is called the championship.
After Wang Shuo left, Dolan didn't put too much pressure on Brown.
As can be seen from the five-year, $40 million contract he gave Brown, Dolan also entered the sage mode after the creation of the New York dynasty.
There is no doubt that the Knicks have developed the Chinese market to the extreme in recent years.
But the extreme of the Knicks does not mean the ultimate of the NBA.
In fact, while the Knicks have made a lot of money in recent years, most NBA teams can only watch the Knicks make money.
Therefore, Stern knows better than anyone else......
After the New York dynasty was formed, no matter what, the league had to find a way to prevent the Knicks from reaching four consecutive championships in the new season.
Otherwise, the money will be earned by you in New York, and the honor will also be taken by you in New York, how will you let other teams in the NBA play?
In October, as the teams finished the preseason one after another, the first team power list of the new season was also released.
The Knicks remain in first place, while the Mavericks, Pacers, Heat, and Clippers are second to fifth.
Although the way James played last season caused a lot of controversy, experts are optimistic that James can lead the Clippers to the top spot in the Pacific Division in the new season.
Because before the start of the regular season, Baylor and the Warriors exchanged Peja, who was not treated by James, for star forward Antoine Jamison through a sign-and-trade method.
and signed Daniel Gibson and Eddie House on the free agent market.
Gibson is 188 centimeters tall and had a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% last season, while House, who has been in the league for many years, has a height of "185" centimeters and a three-point shooting rate of nearly 40% in his career.
But Jamison, who has a comprehensive skill set, has been a fairly consistent performance on the outside in the past two years after strengthening his three-point shooting percentage.
To be honest, under the careful construction of Lord Baylor, this Clipper is really stronger than the Knight 1.0 in Wang Shuo's memory.
On October 28, the NBA regular season officially began.
Wang Shuo didn't go to the Clippers vs. Nuggets game that same day, because he had to go to Madison Square Garden to receive his sixth championship ring in his coaching career.
On the day of the opening game, Mike Brown very consciously stepped aside and let Wang Shuo receive the ring amid the cheers of Knicks fans.
The Knicks will face the Nets in their regular season opener this year.
This summer, Devin Harris, frustrated with the Nets' management, accepted the Nets' one-year qualification offer, intending to leave on a free transfer next summer.
Jefferson, who is increasingly at odds with Maddie, also made it clear to the Nets that he will not renew his contract with the Nets next summer.
However, it has come to the point of burning eyebrows, and the management of the Nets is still choosing "pigeon tactics".
Wang Shuo didn't understand, and he couldn't figure out what the uniform team was thinking.
In this opening game, the Knicks were not polite to their poor relatives in the countryside, and won a 30-point victory cleanly, officially opening the "post-Wang Shuo era" of this Knicks.
And on November 4, Wang Shuo also officially ushered in the debut of his commentary career.
Because the Mavericks' home game against the Clippers will be broadcast live across the United States tonight, Wang Shuo arrived at his loyal TNT studio early in the morning.
In the studio, Barkley prepared all kinds of snacks for Wang Shuo early in the morning.
In the eyes of Kenny Smith on the side, these two are commenting on the game, this is clearly a dinner!
After opening a packet of potato chips full of air and handing it to Wang Shuo, Barkley smiled: "This season, many people think that the Clippers have a chance to wrestle their wrists with the Mavericks, what do you think?" ”
Wang Shuo pondered for a while and said, "It depends on whether LeBron uses the hair growth agent recommended to him by Kevin." ”
Smith said with a puzzled face: "What does the basketball game have to do with hair growth supplements?" ”
"This summer, during the U.S. men's basketball camp, Kevin Garnett said to LeBron James: If you want to make more fouls in the game, you should apply hair growth tonic all over your body," Barkley said.
Because this way, you can have longer body hair. ”
In front of the TV, as soon as the show began, the fans were amused by the cross talk of Wang Shuo and Barkley.
There were even some fans who made a point to call the TV station to ask which brand of hair growth agent Garnett recommended to James.
After all......
There are really fans who need hair growth tonic to cover up their hairstyle that has long been reduced to the Mediterranean.
At the U.S. Route Center Arena, after the warm-up, the two teams were revealed.
Clippers: Big Z, Carman, Jamison, James, Fisher.
Mavericks: Chandler, Nowitzki, Marion, Ray Allen, Kidd.
Looking at the Clippers' lineup tonight, on the Mavericks' bench, Carlisle was overjoyed.
Because the Clippers' starting lineup dictates that the pace of their transition in the game cannot be fast.
Let's not talk about big Z.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Kaman had a famous nickname called "Ka Slow".
Why is he called "Stuck Slow"?
Because he's really slow.
Plus the "old fish" Fisher on the No. 1 position......
In the Clippers' starters tonight, in addition to Jamison and James, the other three brothers are all famous "wheelchair players" in the NBA.
TNT TV, Wang Shuo said with a puzzled face: "Coach Mike Dunleavy has been coaching in the NBA for many years, doesn't he know that the Clippers' starting tonight has a big flaw?" ”
On the side, Barkley pondered for a while and said, "Is there a possibility, he knows, but he can only arrange his troops like this." ”
Wang Shuo was puzzled: "Why is this? ”
Barkley said, "I don't know, maybe...... Mike Dunleavy kidnapped? ”
Wang Shuo asked knowingly, "Who kidnapped him?" ”
Barkley spread his hands and said, "Then you have to ask the fans of the Clippers and the fans of a certain superstar." ”
On the court, after the game began, the Mavericks really seized the weakness of the Clippers' lineup to move slowly, and Marion scored six points in a row through air cuts.
At this time, Wang Shuo said: "Dunleavy Jr. can also open up space on the court, LeBron is a member of the best defensive lineup, even if Dunleavy Jr. does not defend well, LeBron can help him make up for the defense."
Coach Mike Dunleavy can't even be ignorant of his own son's strengths, right? ”
Barkley said: "But in this game, LeBron's main defense opponent is Jason Kidd. ”
Wang Shuo was speechless: "What does Jason Kidd have to defend? This summer, he scored just 15 points in eight Olympic games combined. ”
Barkley laughed: "But defending Jason Kidd can allow LeBron to save all his energy so that he can better help the team on the offensive end." ”
Wang Shuo pointed to the 0-6 scoreboard in this game and said: "This round is the fourth offensive round of the Clippers tonight, you tell me, where is LeBron?" ”
On the court, as soon as Wang Shuo's words fell, James threw the ball into Jamison's hand after bursting inside.
Jamison took the ball and made a hasty shot, the shot was missed, and the Mavericks possessed the ball.
Barkley said: "Look, didn't LeBron just make a beautiful breakaway? It's just that a teammate can't throw the ball in. ”
In this game, I don't know if I don't watch it, but when I looked at Wang Shuo, I realized that James didn't settle down to polish his basic skills after losing the US men's basketball team this year.
Wang Shuo feels that he is more likely to spend all his time studying the rules of the NBA.
As the leader of Zhan Mi, at this moment, Wang Shuo can be said to be heartbroken, and he even wants to stab himself!
In the first quarter of the game, after playing for nearly half a quarter, James finally scored.
In the face of this Maverick team with his own shooting nemesis Chandler, James not only stole an extra step after the ball, but also took the initiative to lean towards Nowitzki, who was standing in place with open hands, and successfully got the opportunity to walk to the free throw line with a groundhog-like scream.
Seeing this scene, Wang Shuo said: "Dirk Nowitzki's defensive choice this time is really bad, he should withdraw from the baseline and put his hands behind his back."
Because only in this way can he escape the 'gravity' that LeBron James brings. ”
Barkley laughed: "A lot of LeBron fans call LeBron's style of play aggressive, what do you think about that? ”
Wang Shuo spread his hands and said: "I think LeBron's fans are right. Because at present, in the entire league, only LeBron can do it, so that his opponents dare not defend him. ”
After a pause, Wang Shuo added: "After all, who would have thought that LeBron, who is as strong as a buffalo, would fall down at the touch of a weak grass? ”
This night, in order to make James improve, Wang Shuo was completely out of the way.
Even if he will become a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye of James fans, he doesn't care!
Don't ask, just ask:
If this is not love, then what is?
