Chapter 746 A strong enemy strikes, all James
Although the trade caused Walsh to be scolded, it still did not affect the normal process of the Knicks.
After winning the Pistons, Li Tian invited all the members to hold a party at home. Of course, it was just a poor party, an event without any color.
The Knicks have more players, all rookies last season, on the one hand to promote communication within the team, and on the other hand to welcome the new member Bradley to join.
"Man, welcome to the Knicks!" Li Tian expressed his welcome to Bradley on behalf of the Knicks.
"Thank you, I am very happy to be a member of the Knicks, and then I will be a good substitute." Unlike Thomas, Bradley can recognize his position in the team.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he gained the favor of all Knicks and all players. A teammate who doesn't know the heights of the world and a teammate who has self-knowledge must be the latter.
"Little guy, play well, you will fall in love with the Knicks!" O'Neill also said with a smile, he still feels good about this little guy, much better than that ignorant guy.
The only regret is that no one carries the 1.2-meter-long bag for him, mainly because other people carry it, and it doesn't feel so funny.
The party ended very late, and finally went back to their respective homes, looking for their warm embrace.
"Li, the Knicks are going to play against the Bulls in this game. I don't know if you have confidence. You must know that the Knicks have lost to the Heat and the Nets before this!" The reporter is serious about things.
"No, against the Bulls, we're confident!"
No matter how much he trains, Li Tian will not reveal more, and just kill him without saying anything, that is the last word.
"Stop, everyone. The team has just been traded. The management, the head coach and I have already told you yesterday that as long as everyone does not apply for a trade this season, the team will not make any more trades.
But there is a premise, that is, everyone on the team must perform well. If someone does not play well, and does not mind making some trades, it is still very necessary. "If you slap, you still have to give a sweet date.
Hearing the positive answer again, everyone was full of passion and seemed excited.
"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely compete well."
"Don't worry, killing cattle and eating meat is our favorite."
"Don't worry guys, the inside line is handed over to me, and the outside line is handed over to us."
Yao Ming is also full of confidence. If it is just an inside offense, there are really not many players in the entire league who can match him.
"It's great. The team atmosphere has finally returned to last season. The team is peaceful." A harmonious team atmosphere is one of the foundations for a team to win.
Everyone is good at fighting, and the team can win.
"The Knicks just lost their most important player. Thomas can help the team get 15-20 points per game. They lost Thomas. I don't know if they can continue to win."
Smith expressed doubts about this. The loss of an important scorer can have a great or small impact on the team. If it is serious, it may affect the next direction of a team, and if it is less serious, it may have no impact at all.
The Knicks belong to that kind of team that doesn't have the influence of farts.
"No, no, I don't think that losing Thomas will have too much impact on the Knicks. They still retain the winning lineup of last season, and at the same time they added Yao. I still think that the Knicks are still the strongest. team," Barkley said with a smile.
I still believe in the strength of the Knicks.
"Hey, let us wait and see what will happen!" Smith said no more.
The game officially begins!
The Knicks started (it tends to be stable, and if there is no change in the future, I will not repeat it).
Bulls starters: Rose, Brewer, Korver, Boozer, Noah.
Compared with last season, there are still some changes in the Bulls' starting lineup.
With the virtue of Thibodeau's deadly main force, even the Iron Man can't survive two seasons safely.Both Luol Deng and Hamilton suffered injuries to varying degrees, so Brewer and Korver were put in the starting lineup.
Seeing the Bulls' tactical lineup, D'Antoni almost didn't laugh out loud.Korver's three-pointer is good, but it also depends on who the defender in front of him is. Different people have absolutely different defensive efficiency.
He can already foresee the scene where the Bulls' front line is pierced by the Knicks. Korver is a player who has no defense at all, just like toilet paper, which can be pierced by just poking it.
"Lee, the Cavaliers can beat the Knicks, and the Bulls can also beat the Knicks. It's a pity that last season, it wasn't the Bulls who made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. If the Bulls made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, then the Bulls will be the defending team this season." Rose walked in front of Li Tian, as if the Knicks' championship this season had been stolen from the Bulls.
"There is no regret. This season, the Bulls can reach the Eastern Conference Finals."
It's not necessary to get used to it, I don't go to my own training, and I don't even want to be reminded.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, the game began.
During the short confrontation before the game, Li Tian felt Rose's desire for victory, and suddenly felt that this guy's injury might not necessarily be all Hibodeau's fault. Could it be that Rose's damn competitive spirit is not a problem?
UAE won the jump ball.
Seeing Korver in front of him, Li Tian didn't have any worries. He used his body to directly hit the basket and it was over.
Although Boozer and Noah seem tough, they are not good enough to face Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian has suffered a lot in the past two seasons. He is unwilling to fight inside. It does not mean that his strength is not enough .
In order to avoid confrontation, the UAE directly pulled to the three-point line in the bottom corner, which made Boozer lose his temper and had to follow. Thibodeau emphasized that he could not give the UAE an open shot, and he could only follow outside. Play defense.
"Get up you." With a soft shout, he squeezed away Korver who was defending him in front of him, and made a dunk.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!" The fans shouted, cheering for Li Tian.
Seeing Li Tian's bursting performance, Teacher Tony was also a little eager to try.
"Boss, how about we switch positions, and then I try to attack with the ball?" Teacher Tony asked tentatively.
"You want to single Korver?"
Teacher Tony seldom proposes an active attack. When he is injured and loses his explosive power, he seldom chooses to attack with the ball, and more is to attack with the ball or open.
Now that he offered to take the initiative to attack, Li Tian was embarrassed to refuse. Anyway, if he tried it, there would be no major problems. It was also out of his understanding of him. Teacher Tony is not a reckless master.
"No problem. I haven't seen you attacking with the ball for a long time. Let's see how strong you are." In normal training, Mr. Tony will still attack with the ball. You can use it in games, but you can't.
Interviews to build rockets, come in to screw screws, you must have skills.
"Hey, just wait and see."
Li Tian attacked, Mr. Tony came up to pick and roll, took the pass hand by hand, and came to Korver.
"Hey, is Mr. Tony going to single Korver, although his defense is not good, but..." Smith did not finish his sentence.
Teacher Tony used his body to push Korver to the half-block, and used his strength to keep away from the defense.
Hit the shot!
"Damn it, why are you targeting me." Korver still didn't understand why the Knicks had to target themselves when attacking.
The speaker is unlucky, and drinking cold water will clog his teeth, and Korver is like this today.
"Boss, I..." Lowry seemed hesitant to speak. When he was defending Rose, he was exhausted. It was somewhat difficult to beat Rose.
"No problem, let's play the pick-and-roll!" Just an eye contact, you can understand what the other party wants to say.
After several offenses and defenses, the Knicks, relying on Korver's defensive weakness, has opened the gap continuously, leading the Bulls by 13 points with 19:6.
The decline in defensive strength has caused the team to basically be unable to play fast breaks. The Bulls have not even scored a fast break and counterattack since the beginning of the game.
Korver was broken by the Knicks 5 times alone.
"Hey, Korver, it's me instead of attacking this time." Lowry had a smirk on his face, and he was a little embarrassed.
Lowry originally had the nickname of Little Steel Cannon. As long as there are players with nicknames in the league, they are all players with certain strengths.
"Touch!" It was that damned collision again, the referee was right in front of them, and the whistle was not blown. In their understanding, this was just a reasonable collision, and physical contact was normal.
Korver responded, Lowry took the ball to the basket, Yao Ming helped block Noah, and made another dunk!
At 13:21, the Knicks led the Bulls by 8 points. Thibodeau immediately called a timeout. If the game continued like this, the players who originally hoped to open up the space now became the opponent's loopholes, which must be filled in time.
"God, Korver is really unlucky. You have to start an outside player. Everyone wants to start an offense from him." Barkley seemed a little sympathetic to Korver, but he was already happy in his heart.
"The Knicks have seized the Bulls' weakness. Korver is the weak link of the Bulls' defense. Although he has a good three-point ability, it is really too difficult to play three-point ability under Lee's defense. It's obviously not a wise decision for Thibodeau to mention Korver to the starting lineup."
Smith feels that using Korver is the biggest failure.
"How does it feel, every outside player of the Knicks is like James, who can run rampant in the Bulls' defense. Every time he can break through Korver's defense, it is a collision between muscles, and the more he looks, the more vigorous he is."
Barkley likes this kind of power collision game very much, so it looks more like a man's game. If you use too many skills, it will not look so good.
"Korver, what's going on? Where is your defense?" Thibodeau felt that Korver must have not defended well, and Li Tian broke through his defense, which is acceptable.
But Mr. Tony and Lowry both broke through his defense in the same way, and that was really his problem.
"Coach, I really can't bear it, they collided." He lifted his jersey covertly as he spoke, and the upper half of his body was covered with scars, which was the best proof.
"Damn it, they're all a bunch of reckless people. Don't they know that attacking is an art?" Hibodeau could only tell himself.
How could the Knicks care about this, as long as they can win and within the rules, there is no problem.
This is the Knicks, and it's almost like James incarnate.
