Chapter 310: Budding Stars (Daily Chapter)

On October 28, 2003, although the opening game of the Knicks was not exciting, for New York fans, seeing the opponent break the defense, this ticket is not a loss!

At the end of the game, Madison Square Garden was still noisy, and only the Spurs left in despair.

Tim Duncan returned to the tunnel early, the boss sat on the bench for a full quarter in the fourth quarter, and the atmosphere team didn't dare to say anything from the fourth quarter onwards.

The mediocre performance of the team's new signings also made Popovich's face ugly after the game, and he also did not say a word when he came to the technical table to shake hands with D'Antoni.

Noticing that Popovich pulled his face and walked to the players' tunnel, on the commentary bench, Kevin Harlan looked at the technical statistics and commented simply:

"Against the Knicks, the start is very important, and if you are still down by double digits in the third quarter, then the end result is likely to be a loss."

"It has to do with the style of play of the core players on both sides, and Lee's control of the game has reached another level."

81:112, the Knicks beat the Spurs by 31 points tonight.

Doug Collins was also looking at the technical statistics, and he naturally noticed that Duncan played very well in the last two quarters of the game, and couldn't help but comment:

"Played 32 minutes, 8-of-13, 4-of-6 free throws, 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers, and delivered a double-double, but such statistics are difficult for the Spurs to win."

"The tactics are single, the outside is lacking in threat, and the Spurs have a lot to learn if they want to challenge for a championship."

Kevin Harlan didn't comment too much, and Li You only played 30 minutes in this game;

10-of-15, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and a mediocre 26 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 turnover.

The Spurs performed like this, and the two knew in their hearts that this year's Western Conference still had to look at the Mavericks, Timberwolves, and Lakers who were willing to spend money.

Especially because of this, he still wears 5 rings on his left hand, and he compares them with others, and Mutombo is very hot to see

The gorilla pulled his old teammates to show off, this year's large ring is really good-looking, shining in the light.

Li You was also greeting his friends on the sidelines, Tina Fey beckoned, and the two simply embraced:

"How was it like to be a screenwriter for the first time? I'm packing tickets, and they're definitely going to be a big hit next year! ”

Tina Fey immediately tilted her head when she heard this, and patted Li You's chest with a smile:

"I'm a screenwriter, not a director, and the box office results are not good, that's why they change the script randomly!"

"Lee, Rachel, my good sister, we're going to watch the opener when we're done shooting, she's a big fan of yours."

After a brief introduction, Tina Fei had a smile on her face, but quietly pinched Li You in her hand, reminding him that this was "grass on the edge of the nest".

Rachel McAdams dressed up tonight, wearing black slim jeans, a blue shirt, and a conspicuous red headband for her blonde hair.

Li You only felt a little familiar, and then remembered that this was the most common dress for Milinda when she went to school.

Milinda looks a little like the future Emma Stone, but in essence, she is a delicate girl with a melon seed face, big eyes, white skin and beauty, with a weird personality and absolutely no "" on her body.

As if feeling that she had attracted attention, Rachel smiled sweetly, showed her dimples, and said obediently:

"What a wonderful game, Lee, I've been following you, although a little presumptuous, but can you attend my birthday party next month? Tina: They're all there. ”

Tina Fey knew Li You too well, so she quietly pinched it again and reminded her again.

"Of course, Tina's friends are my friends, and I'll be there for the birthday party."

After Li You said this, a harmless smile appeared on his face.

Rachel was a little proud in her heart, she had studied this set of "skin" for a long time, including the "pseudo-plain makeup" on her face, which was her achievement.

Successfully "cut the plum", Rachel smiled sweetly again, and said coquettishly:

"On the 16th, I'll pick you up when the time comes, and we'll make up our minds!"

There is a camera shooting in this direction, and Rachel also deliberately nods to her toes, and the image of a blonde sweet girl is alive.

In the end, Li You hugged his friend again, noticed Tina Fei's quiet glare, and couldn't help but whisper in amusement:

"I love this blonde chick!"

Li You waved to the fans in the stands again, and then turned to leave, Tina Fey saw that Rachel next to him was also waving her hand, so she could only kindly remind:

"Just be friends, don't think about developing into other relationships!"

Rachel smiled and grabbed her plastic friend's arm and replied in a greasy voice:

"I see! Lee looks cooler than in magazines! Notice the look in his eyes? It's not like a 25-year-old at all, both mature and young. ”

Quietly tugging at the corners of her mouth, Tina Fey couldn't complain, this chick read Forbes magazine, and the New Yorker recently briefly introduced Li You's Peninsula Manor.

With the blessing of the American knife, Li Youshuai was "earth-shattering", and his whole body exuded the "aroma" of banknotes.

The Knicks' opener divided the data, and the game was one-sided, and there was no suspense early.

In the opening game between the Heat and the 76ers, the "shrunken version of Li You" finally lost regrettably.

At 74:89, Stan Van Gundy's first game in charge of the Heat ended in a loss.

Playing 41 minutes, Wade made 8 of 18 shots, scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers.

After head coach Randy Ayres took over the 76ers, he didn't make much adjustments to the team's tactical play, and finally handed the ball to Iverson.

Iverson, who is playing at home, has also lived up to the trust of the fans!

Played 45 minutes, 9-of-25, 3-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, 5-of-8 from the free-throw line, and recorded a double-double of 26 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and 3 turnovers.

Although Larry Brown was gone, Iverson didn't care, and after the win, he regained his previous self-confidence:

"I feel like I'm in really good shape, so I don't care about those comments, as soon as I get on the pitch and I want to go to the basket with the ball."

"I don't want to talk about the set-up, that's my primal impulse, I want to show my true self in front of the fans!"

After the game, Iverson thought that everyone would praise him, but he didn't expect everyone to respond mediocrely.

Over the past few years, the sports media in Philadelphia have also realized that "primitive basketball", "real character basketball", "inefficient basketball", and "fighting spirit" cannot win championships.

Therefore, Iverson talked about his spiritual attributes, and everyone had only one feeling:

"The future of the 76ers is bright."

The Mavericks and Lakers games received the most attention.

Before the start of the game, Mark Cuban made a big move, the Lakers F4 debuted, and the matchup between the two teams sparked a lot of discussion among ball critics.

The Mavericks immediately dug a hole at the beginning of this game, and many fans were disappointed by this.

At 15:29, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers took a double-digit lead.

Although the Mavericks fought back, the game was completely out of suspense after the Lakers played another 22:31 in the third quarter.

At 93:109, the Lakers F4 ushered in a good start, and in the Staples Arena, Los Angeles fans were also excited, and the old men still had oil!

Gary Payton played 36 minutes, 10-of-20 from the field, 1-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover;

Karl Malone played 29 minutes, 5-of-11, 5-of-5 free throws, and got a quasi-triple-double of 15 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover!

Both veterans started the game, and the Lakers handed out 32 assists as a team, and the Los Angeles fans who bought tickets to watch the game had only one feeling:

"Silky! Fluency! ”

O'Neal was 8-of-15 from the field, with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers, playing only 32 minutes, and the Sharks seemed very happy with the game after the game:

"I know what you're trying to say, now come and see our game, see how we fit together!"

"Let's witness the new Lakers, and I swear, we'll win the championship!"

Gary Payton was also satisfied with his performance, and replied confidently in that somewhat sharp voice in an interview:

"Being older means having more experience in the game, don't ask me to be a normal veteran, my body is not inferior to the young."

"It's the same with Carl, believe me, it's going to be a season for the Lakers!"

Bryant missed the opener due to a mental injury.

Phil Jackson has already started to pull the shelf, and after the illegal invasion, he disliked Kobe Bryant very much.

Lacking core players, Phil Jackson didn't mention Kobe Bryant much in an interview, just said something about the scene:

"Bryant is recovering well from knee surgery, but he still needs to readjust his mental state."

"Both veterans have great game experience, the Mavericks are a strong opponent, and it's great to see both of them play well tonight!"

O'Neal hasn't been able to pick up Kobe, and Gary Payton and Carl Malone have helped sort out the locker room vibe.

The two veterans really wanted to win, and Karl Malone took the initiative to comfort Kobe Bryant after the game:

"Don't judge in the accident world, those people just want to have fun, believe me, as long as you play well, those fans holding the whiteboard will soon cheer for you!"

Despite being the home court of the Lakers, there were still funlers in the Staples Arena at this time scolding Kobe.

Dressed in a black suit, Kobe Bryant was secretly grateful when he heard Malone's words, which was one of the few encouragements he received after the illegal invasion:

"I know, I'm going to get fit, don't worry about me, I'm going to help you win the championship!"

Karl Malone put his arm around Kobe's shoulders, showing the appearance of a good big brother, and waved to Vanessa, who was watching the game on the sidelines:

"Yes, we'll win the championship!"

On October 29, there were 11 games on the day, and the most watched of them was naturally the game between the Cavaliers and the Kings.

The championship coach and the Chosen One made their debut, and regardless of wins or losses, everyone wanted to see what kind of stats the ostracized LeBron James would hand over.

The first game back in the dugout was on the road, and after flying to Sacramento, Jeff Van Gundy was interviewed.

The bald young marshal still shows his handsome demeanor, a straight black suit, a white shirt and a red scarf, seeing this dress, the sports media feel reliable.

When asked about what kind of stats LeBron James will play tonight, Jeff Van Gundy smiled:

"The data doesn't matter, what matters is that LeBron needs to do his job."

"I don't want to define him as a scorer, he's just entered the league and a lot of skills need to be polished."

"I'd love to see him lead his teammates on both ends of the pitch."

Realizing that the balding young coach wanted LeBron James to become a playmaker, many sports media looked at each other.

Jordan turned into Pippen, and Jeff Van Gundy directly changed the script for James

James, who was ostracized from the team, accepted such a role in an interview:

"I've seen Magic Johnson play, I've seen the Knicks succeed, and I've never considered myself a scorer!"

'I'll try to lead the team on both ends of the pitch and coach Van Gundy has taught us a lot about the defensive side of things, which I'm still learning.

"It's completely different from high school competitions, it's a real challenge!"

LeBron James, who was wearing a Cavaliers training uniform and a headband, was very well-behaved during the interview and took the initiative to praise the coaching staff and teammates.

For Van Gundy's request for head coaches, James did accept it, and instead of throwing the pot ball, it would be better to act as a ball handler.

Although he is a high school student, James also knows his place on the team, and he is really not interested in playing against role players who are destined to leave the team.

noticed that several people still didn't take it seriously, LeBron James didn't complain, but kept comforting himself in his heart:

"In a few days, you'll be traded!"

In this high-profile match, LeBron James finally delivered a good statistic:

Played 39 minutes, 9-of-19, 2-of-4 free throws, 20 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 turnovers.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers only scored 16 points in a single quarter, and were beaten by the Kings and finally lost the game.

Ricky Davis, who let himself go, was not polite, shooting 8-of-21 from the field and scoring 20 points as well.

Charlie Ward ate up some time for James to make his debut, otherwise the game would have turned into a matchup

At 90:109, the Kings won by a big score, and the Cavaliers also won a game.

LeBron James' performance didn't surprise ball critics.

Although he contributed a few good steals and staged a few beautiful dunks, everyone hoped that the Chosen One could play more explosive statistics.

The game was broadcast by ESPN, and after Kobe Bryant's illegal invasion, the class of '03 received more attention.

TNT just blew Lee Woo last night, and after LeBron James made his debut, the trio were also a little disappointed:

"He's still adapting to the league, and a lot of times he thinks about the game too simply, the jump shot still needs to be polished, and the transition offense is handled well."

"I think LeBron James will be successful and like Coach Van Gundy said, the team really needs more talent."

Kenny Smith has always offended the players and still commented on the game in a decent manner, but Charles Barkley didn't care about these and grinned and concluded:

"James won't bother Lee for the next few seasons!"

'He's got obvious technical flaws, he's really very physical, and tonight on the defensive end, Coach Van Gundy should have set up a zone defense, which also made James out of the team system at times.

"But the Cavaliers players are not doing very well, and as a championship coach, you will definitely emphasize the defensive discipline of the team, which is really unqualified for the Cavaliers."

Ernie Johnson listened to his partner's sworn conclusion, pondered for a moment and then added:

"Chuck is right, Coach Van Gundy does have a long-term plan!"

"I've got some news that the Cavaliers should make a trade soon, and maybe that's a good thing for James."

"With a higher tactical position and more shots, James should be able to show his talent to the fullest!"

Since Li You will definitely not get the MVP this season, players who are interested in this award are gearing up and cheering for themselves!

Garnett's salary this season is as high as 28 million US dollars, which is equal to two Lee Yoo, and the Timberwolves' salary has also exceeded 70 million US dollars, coming to the third place in the league.

After getting two powerful helpers, Kevin Gane was deliberately angry and only felt that this season was promising!

After the win over the Bucks in the opener, Garnett shouted directly to the media after the game:

"This is my ninth season of my career and I'm at peak physical and technical strength!"

"It's time to get some accolades, I'm going to give it my all this year, and I think I'm the best interior player in the league right now!"

The best outside player is not destined to win the MVP, and this award will naturally be won by the best interior player.

The sports media can hear Garnett's meaning, but no one refutes it, Garnett does have the strength to win this award.

In the game between the Timberwolves and the Bucks, Garnett played 41 minutes, 11-of-23, and scored 25 points, 21 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 1 turnover.

Compared with LeBron James, Garnett not only won the victory, but also the statistics were more gorgeous, and the heat of the chosen one was sucked away.

Sprewell also joined in the fun, and began to pretend to be X again in an interview:

"Kevin is a nice lad and I'll pass on my championship experience to him!"

“.”

On October 30, Chinese fans also ushered in the Rockets' debut this season.

Carmelo Anthony also has a lot of attention, but his performance on the road against the Rockets has been mediocre.

He was 5-of-14, 1-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and 7-of-10 from the free-throw line, finishing with 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 8 turnovers.

At 85:102, the Rockets defeated their opponents and ushered in a good start to the new season.

Due to Tomjanovic's deteriorating physical condition, he was no longer the head coach this season, and the team eventually took over as Spurs assistant coach - Mike Brown.

Standing out among the candidates, Mike Brown did not rely on his resume, but on the mind of Alexander, the owner of the Rockets.

After a failed interview with the Knicks head coach last season and a beating in the Finals, Mike Brown finally realized the limitations of Larry Brown's department.

Therefore, in this interview, Mike Brown incarnated as the boss's "licking dog", clarified the core players of the team, understood the meaning of the boss, and finally successfully won the position of head coach.

In this game, Yao Ming only played 20 minutes, 6 of 8, 7 of 8 free throws, and got 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 3 turnovers.

After the game, China's sports media surrounded Yao Ming again, and everyone wanted to hear what he had to say about the new head coach, and Mike Brown really didn't have much to look forward to compared to the championship coach.

In the locker room, Yao Ming smiled and quickly answered seriously when he heard everyone's questions:

'Every coach has a different tactical mindset and Mike Brown is a good manager and we had 21 assists tonight compared to 10 against the opposition.

"We're pressing on both ends of the pitch and I think we can make the playoffs this season!"

Yao Ming is still very happy about the arrival of Mike Brown, because the head coach has designed a lot of tactics for him.

Of course, the coaching staff also made some requests, suggesting that he should train his body to be stronger.

Seeing that Yao Ming liked the new head coach very much, everyone was relieved, and then the next day the domestic sports media concocted another article:

"To win the trust of the manager, Yao Ming only needs one game!"

"The Rockets are back on track, and Yao Ming thinks the team has a chance to reach the Finals in the new season!"

"Underrated Master Tactician – Mike Brown!"

“.”

On October 31st, the first 50 points of the new season were born!

Ray Allen has suffered an injury and critics believe the SuperSonics will lose early.

But in back-to-back games against the Clippers, Rashad Lewis broke out again.

Played 37 minutes, 18-of-25, 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 10-of-13 from the free throw line, and finished with 50 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks.

At 124:105, the SuperSonics defeated the Clippers again, and Dunleavy Sr., who had just taken over the team, ushered in a two-game losing streak.

Lewis's performance inside and out really stunned some critics, and in the post-game interview, the second-round pick from the Knicks was very calm:

"It's just an ordinary regular season, and the opponents are limited!"

"I'm not going to be complacent just because I've scored more points, and my experience with the Knicks has taught me that basketball is five-man."

"If Lee wanted to score, he might have averaged 40 per game, but he didn't choose to do that, and with him, I learned how to be a leader!"

Lewis had already put on a "I'm the boss" appearance during the interview, which made Ray Allen a little depressed, after all, the partner is also a man with rings.

The 50-point performance made many sports media forget the existence of Ray Allen, and looking at his teammates surrounded by groups in the locker room, Ray Allen had another lemon:

"All the good ones are here to help me?."

The rookies of the class of 03, except for Milicic, have appeared in the past few days, although they have not performed too prominently, but the high-ranking newcomers have not appeared "parallel goods".

More stars also make critics happy, which means more topics to talk about.

Garnett, who was still blowing X two days ago, didn't take two days to get a boomerang in the face.

Sprewell was 4-of-18 from the field and scored 9 points in anger, showing the true character of a champion guard, while Kassel was 2-of-10 and scored 8 points, also showing good form.

At 61:84, the Nets beat their opponents by a wide margin, and the Timberwolves scored only 9 points in the fourth quarter.

Garnett, who scored a team-high 23 points, left the game early after the game.

Kidd, who had just signed a big contract, had a rare yin and yang weirdness after the game:

"MVP is not about who's louder, basketball games use the ball to speak!"

"The Eastern Conference Finals are not the end of the road for us, I want the team to make a change, I know the potential of my teammates!"

7 of 18, 21 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 5 turnovers, in the game with the Raptors, Kidd was 4 of 18 and pulled his hips, and returned to the home court to rebound strongly and get a triple-double!

Kidd released to the media, naturally because he had some unpleasantness with head coach Byron Scott, and he hoped that the coaching staff could further decentralize power, and he wanted to completely control the team!

Smelling the smell of gossip, the sports media added fuel to the vinegar on the second day and concocted an article about the conflict between Kidd and the coaching staff

On Saturday, Nov. 1, the Knicks finally played the Magic at home after a few days of rest.

The Magic lost two in a row after the start of the new season, and both McGrady and Houston had some physical problems.

The former's back injury has become a stubborn disease, and the latter's knee injury is more serious than the team doctor predicted.

In that night's game, the Magic team was still digging holes at the beginning, and Rivers' roar couldn't change the situation on the court.

At 17:32, at the end of the first quarter, the Knicks took another double-digit lead.

The team's new signing, Tyronn Lue, was in a state of confusion after the start of the game, and he did give the ball to the main scorer frequently according to the head coach's request, but everyone took turns to play iron, and he couldn't help it

McGrady scored five points on 2-of-6 shooting, 1-of-5 for 5, and Houston contributed two points.

In addition, the team's new recruit Juwan Howard also scored 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting, and at the break, Coach Rivers could only send chicken soup wildly.

The rotation lineup came on, and Girisek seemed to be infected by his teammates' iron, and he also failed to complete the task assigned by the manager.

There were no free throws, only iron, and with the Magic scoring another 17 points in the second quarter, the game was out of suspense.

At 34:58, half-time, Madison Square Garden turned into a sea of joy again.

In the third quarter of the game, the Magic's offense still did not improve, and in the end, Li You clocked in in the third quarter and left work early.

Mutombo, who was about to appear on the stage, sighed while moving his body:

"We were average, but we didn't expect our opponents to be worse tonight."

"It turned out that the game would be so easy!"

It seems to recall the time when the 76ers "four guarantees and one", Mutombo is not a feeling in his heart, he understands that in fact, the two sides are the gap in basketball concepts.

Li Youhe bumped fists with the atmosphere group that was about to appear on the court, and by the way, he gave Mutombo a look at the situation of the Knicks:

"Next week's schedule is also easy, in fact, a lot of times, it's hard for us to lose!"

“.”

In the end, this game turned into a real combat drill for the Knicks, and at 83:112, the Magic ushered in a three-game losing streak.

With only one day off, on Monday night the 3rd, the Magic team returned to their home court and continued their heavy defeat.

At 108:68, McGrady scored 19 points on 5-of-20 shooting from the field to lead the Knicks to continue winning!

In the first week of November, the Knicks will play against the Bucks in the next two games.

After an easy victory over his opponent, Li You led the team to a wave of 5 consecutive wins.

On the night of the 8th, at 88:111, after the home victory over the Bucks, MSG also interviewed Lee You.

Playing less than 32 minutes in 5 games, Li You was completely fished, but fortunately, the assists continued to climb steadily, showing that he was still very involved in the game.

"Lee, can you talk about the changes in the team for the new season? I've noticed a lot of the time in these games that Gasol has been attacking in the low post. ”

Walter Fraser, who was smiling when he won the game, asked the critic's curious question, and Li You didn't think too much about it, and replied very naturally:

"Pau is a big man with great athleticism, and we all know his static talent, and when he plays in the low post, he can not only score but also assist his teammates."

"Let every player do what they're good at, that's the basketball philosophy that the Knicks follow!"

At the end of the game, the New York fans at the scene did not leave the stadium early, feeling the lively atmosphere in the arena, Mutombo, who was walking towards the players' tunnel, bumped into Ewing:

"You told me that the Knicks could win the championship, and I was a little skeptical before, but now I really believe it!"

The gorilla looked at his friend, subconsciously raised his left hand, and then said quite proudly:

"No one in the league is our opponent!"
