The rise of basketball legends

Chapter 725 Eager to Prove Himself

"Chen Yan played another perfect performance tonight. He made 36 of 23 free throws and made 12 free throws. He scored 66 points with great efficiency. If he finished the last 2 minutes, it should be difficult for him to score 70 points tonight. Big." Zhang Lili said.

Yu Jia smiled: "70 points is no longer the goal for Chen Yan. Regardless of the regular season or the playoffs, Chen Yan has scored this score more than once. He himself also said in many interviews that he is now the most What matters is the championship, and everything else is floating clouds, I believe he will definitely move towards this goal this season."

At the end of the game, 119 to 98, the Celtics did not score in the last 2 minutes, and the Knicks slaughtered the Celtics with a 0+ advantage.

The outside world has used the black eight incident last season to flog the Celtics.

Nowitzki has the most insight into this. He was whipped to death for several years after the Black Eight. When talking about him, fans think of such bad words as softie and being overturned.It wasn't until after winning the championship last season that Nowitzki's reputation was reversed. For a while, his labels became [team leader], [single-core championship], and [German chariot].

It can be seen that the fastest and most effective way to reverse the reputation is to win the championship!From the beginning of this game, a seed was quietly planted in Durant's heart.I want to win, no matter what I want to win!

"After a long offseason, our players have not been at their best and the team has not had their best chemistry. I will not be disappointed with the players. They need time to adjust. I believe this season we will A very brilliant result was achieved.”

Rivers, as always, filled everyone with chicken soup.

It wasn't Rivers' speech that surprised the fans, but why is Rivers still in the Celtics' coaching position?

After the black eight last season, his on-the-spot adaptability began to be criticized by fans.

Fans feel that this guy is not worthy of the Celtics' Big Three. If it were Phil Jackson or other coaches who are good at training stars, maybe the Celtics would have won the championship last year.

After all, their hard power lies there. Stoudemire is in his prime, and Rose and Durant have also entered the early stages of their career peaks. The best proof is that they ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season last season.

Durant said in a low voice: "We still have a long way to go. I trust me and my teammates. Let's wait and see, we will achieve what we want."

Durant is also growing in the confrontation with Chen Yan. This growth is not only reflected in his skills, but also in his psychology. In the past few seasons, Durant would never say such a thing when he lost.

The Knicks post-game press conference.

The old Nelson said generously: "I know what you want to ask, the Knicks have only one goal in the new season, and that is the damn golden trophy!"

Didn't Old Nelson get dazzled by Victory's words? As the coach of Qiansheng, why hasn't he seen such a big storm?

Old Nelson really thinks that the Knicks have a chance to hit the championship this season, and he has confidence in his players.

The reporter asked: "How do you think the Knicks players played tonight?"

"They all played very well. A team cannot win without the hard work of every player. We won tonight. This is the harvest of every player after hard work on the court."

The reporter continued to ask: "What about David West? What do you think of his performance tonight?"

"He has basically completed my tactical deployment tonight. He has integrated into the team very quickly, but his physical condition still needs to be adjusted. After all, he underwent a major operation this offseason, and we have confidence in him."

Chen Yan was also asked the same question, and his answer was similar to that of Old Nelson.

"I like playing with David. He is a threat on the court. No team will relax his defense. He is very comfortable with him in the pick-and-roll. He has the ability of mid-range and long-distance. The golf IQ is also very high, I don't think you should keep looking at the data, he played well tonight, and I believe he will get better and better."

Chen Yan was also asked about the performance of the national team teammate Ah Lian tonight.

UAE played 19 minutes and scored 8 points and 5 rebounds.

"He played cleanly tonight. It feels more like a team veteran than a new addition to me. He is a very hard-working player. Whether it is in training or on the field, I look forward to his performance in the future. He's going to be a big part of us."

Chen Yan was full of praise for Ah Lian's performance tonight.

The evaluation from the outside world is also similar, thinking that the UAE played well tonight and completed its task very well.

Also scored 8 points, David West was scolded by the outside world.

The reason is simple. The fans have different expectations for the two. David West is an All-Star insider, and the UAE is only a qualified rotation.

When asked about the new aid Jordan and Beverly, Chen Yan also praised him.

The reporter then asked: "You scored 66 points tonight. Is your goal this season to be the scoring champion?"

"I'm not very interested in the scoring champion. Compared with the scoring champion, I hope to win the O'Brien Cup and bring new glory to this team and this city."

"If the team asks you to sacrifice your shot rights in order to win the championship, is it okay for you to organize, assist and grab rebounds?" the reporter asked.

"Of course, I am willing to sacrifice data for the team. I will do whatever the coach asks me to do. I believe that every player in the Knicks team is the same. This is what every player with a sense of collective honor will do. "

On the plane back to New York, every player was very happy.

Beverly no longer had the restrained feeling he had just joined the team, and he even learned how to play Landlords from Chen Yan.

Ah Lian and David West were sitting on the seats. The two belonged to the kind of introverted and quiet players. The teammates understood and did not disturb them, giving them more personal space.

After returning to New York, David - West increased the amount of training.

Two days later is the New York Knicks' home opener against the Golden State Warriors from the West.

Knowing that the first game was mediocre, David West wanted to prove himself in this game.

Ah Lian has also practiced extra in the past two days. He was kicked out by the Golden State Warriors last season and almost got mixed up in the CBA.

Every player has the desire to prove himself in front of his old club, and the UAE is no exception.
