Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 224: Media Open Day Has Arrived

Since it was only the first day, the training volume was not large, and at 5 p.m., the training ended on time, and Artest hooked up with Odom and waited there for Li Wan.

Li Wan spoke to Taylor.

As soon as he heard that it was a Kardashian party, Taylor said to Li Wan “You are there, don’t move” and brushed the phone.

Li Wan always felt that he was being taken advantage of.

In half an hour, Taylor was dressed in a thin black trench coat and drove a red Lexus to Madison Square, and she was going to go with her. Li Wan got on the co-pilot, and after thinking about it, he still felt that he could not suffer in vain.

“Taylor…”

“Huh? ”

“Call Daddy! ”

“Huh? ”

……

An hour later, Taylor blushed and got out of the car. This “dad,” she called anyway. More than one sound. No way, Li Wan’s technique of “hooking” is too top.

“Why are you here? ”

Artest and Odom arrived in a car half an hour early.

Next to them stood several golden flowers of the Kardashian family: Kohler Kardashian, who looked like a “big-faced cat”, Kim Kardashian, whose figure began to develop towards the “gourd” type, and Kendall Jenner, who is currently famous in the supermodel circle, and her sister, Kylie Jenner, who is also a model but famous for selling makeup…

At this moment, they are waiting with two people.

When he saw Li Wan get out of the car, Kendall Jenner’s face was obviously a little more happy, but when Taylor in the main driver’s seat came out of the car, that joy was immediately diluted.

Kim Kardashian saw the change in her sister’s expression, Kendall’s feelings for Li Wan she was very clear, and she had been advising Jenna not to hang herself on a tree, there are many good men in the world. But Jenna answered her every time:

If you had bitten Li Wan when you were 17 years old, you wouldn’t have thought so!

Kim Kardashian is helpless, she wants to say that although she has not bitten 18-year-old Li Wan, she has played with 20-year-old Li Wan in the grove, it is indeed very exciting, but…

Excitement is just excitement after all!

You can’t eat it as a meal!

Woman……

You still have to learn to be abusive, otherwise you will be hurt more!

Kelly Jenner took the initiative to greet Li Wan and Taylor, and her tone was very enthusiastic. But it feels different from the other sisters.

Kohler is the most calm of the “Four Golden Flower”, but she has also been saying in her heart: I already have Lamar, I already have Lamar, no, no.

Fang calmed down.

It turns out that “Pan Jinlian” does take a good look when she meets the person she thinks is right.

Kohler Kardashian in front of you says it all.

In her relationship with Odom, she is instead an “honest” character.

Four people and four colors, Li Wan can see it all, but all of them are regarded as invisible. After saying hello, Kohler Kardashian, as the host, led everyone into the party scene.

As soon as I entered the door, a breath of “Haitian Sheng*” came to my face. Kylie Jenner seemed a little impatient, and couldn’t help but pull Tyler aside and chat online.

Li Wan found a quiet corner to drink “stuffy wine”. No matter who came to say hello, they just nodded lightly, and there was not much reason.

Jenna looked at him from a distance, with a trace of grievance on her face.

Li Wan glanced at her, raised his hand to salute, and then looked away again. This cold reaction made Jenna directly break her defense, and she decided to check the law…

If she came hard, Li Wan wouldn’t either…

Will he be sentenced!

She wished there was a law.

Odom and Artest hid around, looked back and saw Li Wan who was drinking “stuffy wine”, the two looked at each other, and quickly sat next to Li Wan left and right.

Li Wan was shouted by them, and it’s not okay to have fun!

“Brother, what’s wrong? Is this party dissatisfied? I’m not satisfied with what you say, in this way, I will call 30 more women! ”

Odom said and pulled out his phone.

In his world, there is no problem that 5 women can’t solve, and if there is, then 10. No matter how many troubles Li Wan has, 30 should also be solved!

Artest had a lot more brains than him, so he put his phone away and approached Li Wandao: “Dude, are you… What’s on your mind? ”

After asking, he thought of something, glanced at Taylor, who was still talking to Kylie Jenner over there, and asked, “Yes… Relationship problems? ”

Li Wanqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, sighed heavily, and stopped talking.

“No, bro, what’s wrong? You say ah! Don’t you say…” Artest looked at the wine glass he was holding, and he thought again, “Lee, that’s how I am.”

“Nothing, it’s just… Too much pressure! Li Wan sighed again, “I just said in front of so many New York fans in the summer, this is just the beginning, and as a result, Dayao retired from injury, this season… I’m afraid it’s difficult! ”

Hi ho ho!

Upon hearing this, Odom patted Li Wan’s shoulder to cheer him up, and said without hesitation: “No, don’t think too much, brother, with us here, we will definitely become your best helper!” ”

“Is it? ”

Li Wan’s face was “sincere”, but his eyes glanced at Odom’s stomach from time to time, and then turned his head to look at Artest’s stomach twice…

“Are you sure? ”

Noticing Li Wan’s eyes, Odom and Artest couldn’t help but blush, their body fat rate now is indeed a little indecent.

Hell if such a state can help Li Wan!

Therefore, with such sincere eyes on Li Wan, they…

Empty heart!

“Forget it, the two old brothers have this heart, I am already very satisfied, you have helped me a lot, indeed when it is time to enjoy it, you can say so, I am already very happy…”

Saying that, Li Wan picked up a glass of red wine and drank it.

“Good brother, in the heart! ”

“You guys play, I’m not here to spoil…”

Saying that, without waiting for Odom and Artest to say anything, they got up directly, and the two people couldn’t hold it, Li Wan greeted Taylor and left directly.

Looking at Li Wan’s back when he left, and his slightly trembling shoulders, Odom and Artest were stunned, this is…

Crying?

They understood why Li Wan was in such a hurry.

This is so sad that I almost cry, I don’t want to shed tears in front of them!

“The pressure of this old brother’s new season is really high…”

“Yes, New Yorkers are all a B, Li Wan has said everything, in case the defense fails, I am afraid that Li Wan will be scolded to death!” ”

Speaking of which, Artest suddenly felt a little unhuman.

Summer is so indulgent!

Of course, what is more indulgent is the old brother next to him.

Originally, last year was an indulgence, and this summer is even more …

Artest couldn’t help it, and scolded: “Look at you, fat as a pig, how can this help Li Wan?” ”

Not to be outdone, Odom replied, “Aren’t you the same?” Look at your B-face! ”

“Oh, start tomorrow, double your training! ”

“I triple up! ”

“I’m four times! ”

“Five times me! ”

“I’m ten times over! ”

“Shall I go to you…”

……

Taylor roared to keep up with Li Wan’s footsteps, watching him get into the car with a smile all the time, and then laughed loudly, thinking it was funny, and asked again and again: “What’s wrong, what’s wrong?” ”

Li Wan returned to normal after laughing, and did not say much.

The routine of “sincerity”, he also often used to deal with Taylor, absolutely could not let her know. Rhetorical question:

“What did Kelly tell you? I see you’ve been talking…”

“Oh, oh, I really want to tell you about this! Taylor immediately didn’t bother why Li Wan smiled, she patted Li Wan on the shoulder and said, “You know that Kylie Jenner has a makeup company, right?” ”

Don’t you know it, Li Wan remembers very well, it was this makeup company that later made Kylie Jenner the youngest female billionaire.

Who was the most powerful Kardashian family in attracting gold later?

It is this smallest “golden flower” Kelly.

Of course, at this time, her makeup company should still be in its infancy.

Taylor said: “She wants to work with XL to launch some fashion items together, and she has been telling me some of her ideas, and I feel… Very attractive…”

“Uh-huh, good thing! ”

Li Wan listened to her patiently and gave his advice very affirmatively.

XL behind is PG1, after cooperating with Nike, the quality of finished products has risen sharply, and Nike’s sales channels can be used, not only limited to Amazon these network channels, there are also many offline stores, and now the annual sales of the United States alone have exceeded 100 million yuan, plus the Chinese market, but even the net profit, has long exceeded 100 million knives.

It is a fast-growing tiger in the current new generation of clothing.

Fame is not the same as two years ago.

XL has received widespread attention in the industry as soon as it was launched as a sub-brand.

How to fire this first shot well has always been a problem.

How strong Kylie Jenner’s ability is, Li Wan knows, and cooperating with her and quickly appearing a blockbuster can also be expected. This has helped XL gain a foothold in women’s fashion circles.

Of course, Kelly will also gain greater fame in this cooperation.

However, in view of the fact that she will soon emerge in the future, Li Wan believes that this is an opportunity to bind Kelly to XL through “Shunshui Human Love”.

In this way, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future …

Most importantly, Taylor felt good.

The business court is actually similar to the basketball court, it is all like-minded people playing together, and if Taylor disagrees with Kelly’s fashion concept, he will not fit so cheerfully.

Taylor fell into deep thought, and Li Wan’s gaze drifted back to the entrance of the banquet hall.

He couldn’t wait to know what effect the “true collision” at tonight’s party could have on those two “Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks”.

Originally, Odom came to New York, Li Wan did not take it seriously, thinking of relying on his and Artest’s sincerity, to clean him up, that is not a hand-holding?

From the way the “brothers” entered the training ground this morning, he suddenly thought that Artest might “subdue” Odom, or he might be “subdued” by Odom.

Just look at their body fat rate and know that for the time being, Artest should be subdued by Odom.

There is no way, Li Wan can only come up with a “sincere” special move. Let them know how difficult the new season for “dude” really is. He believes that these two brothers who are deeply affectionate will immediately “turn back” after understanding the difficulties of the old brother!

To know…

Good brother, in the heart!

Li Wandu has a drink, can they not be moved?

Effect……

Better than Li Wan thought!

Early the next morning, it was still 8 o’clock, when Li Wan arrived at the training gym, Odom and Artest were already practicing anxiously in the gym.

Naked upper body, when Li Wan appeared, the two were still sticking together to shoot transparent glass, and Odo showed an evil smile from Artest’s back.

It’s easy to think of some gay gay images.

Artest patted his chest with a serious expression:

Be a brother, in the heart!

Then they practiced feverishly.

Cook looked at the side dumbfounded, dumbfounded. This picture… It was something he had never thought of.

After playing in the NBA for 4 years, he knows very well that Odom is not such a hardworking person, and even when he trained yesterday, he was a little careless, how can he be like a changed person today…

He suddenly remembered that yesterday Li Wan seemed to have gone out with these two brothers…

Could it be that you have had fun?

Can’t figure it out…

Looking at Li Wan again, he suddenly felt that this good brother in college had become a little mysterious!

He was thinking about it, a basketball suddenly smashed towards him, subconsciously reacted, caught the ball, looked at the person who threw the ball…

It’s Li Wan!

Cook asked with a look:?

Li Wan said defiantly: “I looked at it yesterday, man, you really haven’t made any progress in this three-pointer, I doubt that you can shoot Kwame!” ”

Just as Kwamei passed by, he subconsciously continued in terms of his obedience to Li Wan: “I also think.” ”

I’m special…

Cook immediately challenged Li Wan!

Li Wan nodded: “Yes, but if you lose, you will practice 200 three-pointers later!” ”

“200 is nothing, if you have the ability, you will have 300! ”

As Cook’s most certain item, the three-point shot felt he could be bold and presumptuous.

Of course, soon, he paid the price for his audacity, and after a total of three rounds, he was easily defeated by Li Wan, which is equivalent to saying that he will practice 900 three-point before going home.

The Cook is numb…

Today’s training atmosphere is obviously much more intense than yesterday, and they should have seen Odom and Artest exercising desperately there, and their strength was provoked one by one.

This is also the reason why Li Wan took these two “Lying Dragon and Phoenix Chicks” to open the knife.

Even the two of them practice so hard, are the others still lazy?

As for Cook…

It’s really brotherhood!

Li Wan knows the status of the future three-point shot in the league, and with an accurate three-pointer, Cook is only afraid that he can play until 2022. And he’s talented at three-pointers.

Again, the three-point shooting contest championship is not anyone’s winner, and the original Cook can hold the “three-point king trophy” high, which is enough to prove that he has three-point ability.

Now what Li Wan has to do is to help him tap the potential of this area to the maximum…

At the end of daily training, Cook was willing to gamble and lose, staying to practice 900 three-pointers. What surprised him a little was that Li Wan actually didn’t leave and stayed with him.

Watching Li Wan lose three points on the same set as himself, Cook couldn’t help but say: “Man, I feel like I’m back in college…”

At that time, they added Conley, and the three of them often practiced shooting together, and Auden was responsible for picking up the ball for them. It’s just that at that time, Li Wan’s “shooting talent was negative”, plus the contact with basketball was indeed too short, and he didn’t practice it.

But it may also be heaven’s reward that allowed him to complete the most crucial three-point kill in the NCAA Finals!

So……

How much luck!

If it weren’t for the usual tens of thousands of shooting drills…

Well, that ball is really lucky, so I won’t put this to feed “chicken soup”.

However, hard work may not necessarily produce results, but hard work is a lucky result, the best explanation!

The feeling of practicing with his brother was very relaxed, and unconsciously Cook had completed half of the three-point practice with quality and quantity, looking at Li Wan, who was also sweating, he thought, he understood his brother’s intention:

This is to accompany him to improve together!

It’s really …

What a brother!

Cook was moved, but his phone rang at this time.

He picked it up and took a look… It’s Conley!

“Mike? Why did he call me? ”

Cook was puzzled, what he didn’t notice was that Li Wan’s shooting posture froze slightly, and the ball bounced out.

A minute later…

“Wow, Li Wan, you are shameless, you actually posted a video of my training on Twitter… Don’t run, I’m going to fight you to the death! ”

I know that this guy is not so kind, Bai is moved!

The Knicks trained in advance, which attracted attention from the outside world and caused unease among other teams.

On September 9, LeBron James also called Wade: “Man, we have to start training!” The Knicks have been training together for so many days! ”

The enemy is already strong and so diligent, if they don’t have a B count, I’m afraid they won’t be able to touch the floor of the finals.

This summer, LeBron also felt what is called the “darkest hour”, he didn’t want to go through the same situation again, just happened to be injured Yao Ming, season reimbursement… He wasn’t gloating either, he was sorry for what happened to Yao Ming, but he really felt that God had once again favored him and cleared him of “natural enemies”, and the only obstacle now may be…

“Man, the new season, you play like you did with the Cavaliers! ”

“Huh? ”

On the phone, Wade’s words made LeBron James stunned for a moment, his eyes were fiery, but he was afraid that he would misunderstand Wade’s meaning, so he asked cautiously:

“What do you mean? ”

Wade paused for a long time, but still spoke: “I mean, man, you treat the Heat as your team, just do it!” You follow your habits, last season, you were cooperating with me, this season, I will cooperate with you! ”

This is……

Want to be “Pippen” for me?

Did he mean that?

Did he mean that?

LeBron James’s heart turned upside down, and Wade’s next words made him reconfirm that Wade really meant to “give way”.

At that time, LeBron James felt that the softest part of his heart was touched.

What a brother!

When I chose to come to the Heat, I was sure that Wade could really sacrifice!

At the same time, he felt that God was starting to exert power again!

Of course, he knew that he could not directly agree to this matter, and he still had to shirk two sentences: “This is your team, Dwyane, I can’t do this, or else, try it, I will do my part, you still follow your style of play…”

That’s another season of not reaching the Finals!

Wade silently complained in his heart.

This summer was really hard for him.

The crazy taunts have continued since the Eastern Conference finals until now, and he knows very well that the team’s status and victory are still more fragrant than victory.

This “boss” position, LeBron wants to give him!

As long as he can win like this, he can…

LeBron James saw that Wade continued to insist, so he did not continue to shirk, he was afraid of shouting, he assured Wade: “This year’s championship, it must be ours!” ”

“I believe, LeBron … The champion must be ours! ”

The phone hangs up.

LeBron is excited, Wade… His expression was a little bit low.

Although he had laid the foundation in his heart several times when talking to LeBron about this, he still felt uncomfortable at the thought that he would become a “deputy” in the new season.

Since entering the league, he has not been the “second oldest”!

He also never thought that one day, he would give up the position of the boss himself… Still on the Heat!

Can……

What can be done?

LeBron James, this “second old” can’t do it!

“That’s when the Finals are already two games behind, and I tell you, you don’t have to be polite with me, I’m willing to be a role player at this point, you just have to do what you have to do… And then the thing, you know, we won the championship! ”

Wade thought about what Shaq O’Neill said to himself at the end of the Finals. His eyes became firm again.

I didn’t make a mistake in my choice…

Right?

Hesitant, he called Shaq O’Neill.

“Big Shark”, who was eating potato chips, received a call from Wade, listening to this guy talk about his heart’s journey, and listening to his comforting decision after the finals, Shaq…

Confused!

Oh~

That’s how you understand it!

Shaq O’Neill’s original intention was to tell Wade that sticking to what he thought was the right path, which is the path he is currently taking, that he was doing well in the Eastern Conference Finals, and that what should be changed is other people who are not performing well…

Who it is, he will not name it!

But I didn’t expect it…

Wade, who performed best, actually thought that he had to adapt to a teammate who was not performing well, and since he did not perform well in the position of “second oldest”, let him go to the position of “boss”.

This tumultuous operation…

Shaq O’Neill suddenly envied LeBron James.

This kid’s life is also too good, right!?

No wonder it’s the “chosen son”!

This “Finals MVP” voluntarily gave up the “boss” position to the “king of excel tables” without a championship, and Shaq O’Neill is really unheard of.

Anyway, what he went through was…

The three-time “championship MVP” was squeezed out of his parent team by the “second oldest”.

Shaq couldn’t help but examine himself, was the pattern back then, was it a little small!

The Nets also started training camp early.

Kevin Garnett looked nervously at the interaction between Paul Pierce and Chris Paul.

This summer, he could have chosen to jump out of contract.

He also had this idea…

The phone was pulled out, ready to take the initiative to ease relations with Ray Allen.

But the result…

Dayao suddenly reimbursed the season and announced his retirement.

Coupled with the retirement of Shaq O’Neal, the player that the Knicks can get their hands on, that is, Li Wan, and the others…

Whether it’s Ray Allen or Artest, or Lewis, they don’t look as reliable as Paul Pierce, Chris Paul and Lopez.

At that time, he no longer hesitated, chose to execute the final year of the contract, and fought with his old buddy again.

But……

The Knicks have been moving a lot during this time, and the addition of Vince Carter, Odom and Tyson Chandler has made the team competitive again.

At least it looks no worse than the Nets.

Plus Li Wan, who has repeatedly performed miracles…

But he has already announced the execution of the final year of the contract, and there is no way to regret it.

Now he can only pray that the relationship between Pierce and Chris Paul will last another year.

And comfort yourself in your heart:

As long as the locker room atmosphere is harmonious, this Nets team has the strength to win the championship!

In his personal name, Kobe invited the new recruits Nick Yang, Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin to train in advance. In order to express his friendliness, he also specially learned the names of Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin Chinese.

It’s just that when he called Jeremy Lin Chinese name, the latter looked confused, and then he knew that Jeremy Lin grew up in the United States and couldn’t say Chinese at all.

Even a simple “hello” is not yet Kobe standard.

Nick Young looked at Kobe Bryant and said Chinese, revealing a “Nick Young” face.

Doesn’t it mean that Kobe Bryant has no teammates in his eyes? Why does it look so kind?

Then if I vote for two more, he should have no opinion, right?

The broken thoughts in Nick Young’s heart were verified in the next team training match, and Kobe Bryant, who was on the same team as him, kept signaling him to play by himself, saw that he didn’t enter, and clapped his hands very kindly, and said to him: “It’s okay, it’s okay, go on, go on!” ”

It’s true……

Is it okay?

Then I’m welcome!

Nick Young’s gaze became more and more hot, Kobe was very happy, he felt that this newcomer was very interested in his appetite. In the evening he also texted Nick Young:

I love your momentum!

When Nick Young received the text message, it was called an excitement, and he quickly returned the text message, saying that he must not let you down.

Looking at Nick Young’s excitement overflowing with words, Kobe showed a gratifying smile:

In the 07th session, there are still normal rookies!

……

The time soon came to mid-September, and as the teams sounded the rallying call one after another, the 11~12 season also ushered in the final stage of struggle:

The annual closed training camp officially opened.

That means that everything about last season is completely over.

Li Wan, who holds the two grand prizes of regular season MVP and Finals MVP, and the eventual champion New York Knicks, currently have no advantage except for the title of “defending champion” above his head.

With other teams and players in the league, they are on the same line.

Challenge for the 12-year O’Brien Cup, as well as various honorary awards:

Everything, it’s going to start all over again…

The NBA shouted their new tagline:

The advent of a new era！

Meaning:

A new era!

In terms of classicism, it is certainly not as good as “the place where miracles are born” … However, there are so many season slogans in the NBA, and I am afraid that there is not a single sentence that can exceed this sentence.

So there’s nothing to worry about!

The point is…

This slogan is more representative of the current NBA!

A new collective bargaining agreement was signed, and in the past three years, there have been two new championships in the NBA, as well as new championships in 38 years, including those who are closer to the first man in the league, and also from the original Tim Duncan, Shake O’Neal, Kobe Bryant and others to Li Wan, LeBron and others…

Everything is a new beginning!

This is the NBA…

A new era!

It is worth mentioning that although David Stern will not officially retire until 2014, in fact, since this summer, a lot of work has been done as a joke.

Including the original league shutdown, David Stern presided over the first half of the big picture, and the rest was handed over to the joke. Coupled with the successful signing of the sky-high broadcast agreement later, the joke is on the top, which can be said to carry the wind and rain.

To say that this new president in the future, the style of acting, one is to accumulate wealth as the ultimate goal.

As long as it is a profitable business, he dares to take it, including the investment of spinach.

The sponsor of competitive sports, is spinach…

It’s really powerless to complain.

Second, it is necessary to engage in formalism.

Since everyone loves to watch the offense, then don’t defend …

The madness to weaken the defensive intensity began after he took office.

In addition, there is the frequent change of slogans.

David Stern era, “I love this game!” “It was used from 1992 to 2007, and “The Land of Miracles” was used from ’07 to 2012…

After the joke came to power, the NBA’s slogan changed almost every year, but even so, no classic slogan was born.

All in all…

Engage in gimmicks, it can be regarded as playing the traffic era to understand!

The result is that the ratings of the NBA are the same as “Wang Xiaoer’s New Year”, which is not as good as the year, until 2021, when I suddenly remembered that basketball needed to be defended, and the ratings of the playoffs picked up.

Right now, having just taken over David Stern’s job, I can’t wait to change the title, which is really…

Very funny!

September 16.

The day after the league finished shouting its slogan, the Knicks held a media open day.

A large number of media arrived at the event, which was originally quite large. The Knicks have already finished their makeup shoots for the new season.

When you see Ray Allen in the same frame as Lewis, see Levan in the same frame as Cook, see Kwame Brown in the same frame with Tyson Chandler, see Odom in the same frame as Artest…

The media reporters at the scene had a feeling, where is this fixed makeup photo?

This is not a wave of memories to kill!

Can’t stand it, really can’t stand it!

Before they could stand it, the old fans couldn’t stand it first, and one by one they fell into memories and couldn’t extricate themselves.

The media asked Li Wan, with so many strong teams in the new season, will they worry about not being able to defend their titles?

Artest and Odom were not far from him, and hearing the reporter’s answer, they couldn’t help but think of the party that night, Li Wan’s face was low, and until now, they were still impressed.

That’s why they’ve trained so hard during this time.

From September 7th to September 15th, although it has not been 10 days, their body fat rate has returned to 14%…

Looking at the body shape of the big belly before, although the lines are not so obvious at this moment, they can already vaguely see the silhouette, and if they continue to practice for a few days, they will be able to recover their proud figure!

At this moment, listening to the reporters’ questions, they hoped that Li Wan would answer firmly, because their two old brothers had already made up their minds: they must not let their little brother shed tears again!

“I have the best team-mates, so I’m not going to worry. We’re still going to be the best team, and if there’s one team with the best chance of winning this season’s championship, the No. 1 name will definitely be the New York Knicks! ”

In the end, Li Wan’s answer also made them smile…

That’s right!

This is the little brother Li Wan in their impression!

He’s back!

“But ESPN only put you in third place, and they think that the Lakers, who have added strength to the bench, and the Heat, who are more eager for championships, have more championship looks than you…”

Li Wan smiled uncaringly.

ESPN’s ranking, just have fun!

You laugh at their inability to understand rankings, they laugh at you for not understanding what a gimmick is!

Why has ESPN become a news giant in the sports industry?

It’s because they’re good at creating this eye-catching topic…

Li Wan’s answer was: “ESPN ranks us third, which is not necessarily a bad thing…”

Listen to the applause!

New York reporters applauded very positively.

Also unhappy with ESPN’s ranking is Kevin Durant, who continues to shout “I’m going to take my brother from scratch and pose on top of the mountain.”

Last season, the Thunder set a record and reached the final Western Conference Finals.

Kevin Durant thought that the Thunder would no one to underestimate in the new season, and ESPN ranked them in the 7th position.

Lakers, Heat, Knicks, Nets, Clippers, Spurs…

And then the Thunder!

This Nima…

This doesn’t bully honest people!

Let’s see, and see who is No. 1 this season at the end!

Having seen the state of his “second brother” and “third brother” in training camp, Kevin Durant is full of confidence in the new season.

September 17.

The San Antonio Spurs also held a press conference.

It’s just that no one expected that the protagonist of this press conference was not Duncan, nor Tony Parker, nor Ginobili and others, but…

This year’s 15th pick in the first round is Leonard.

Popovich sat next to him, happily looking at the incomprehension on the faces of the reporters in the audience, and did not explain much. Just looked at the young “paralyzed man” next to him with a loving face.

In order to get Leonard, he sent George Hill, a lover disciple, the price is not small, the outside world is also incomprehensible, this little newcomer looks nothing special!

But only Popovich, who had tried Leonard, knew what kind of energy this guy contained in his body, and he believed in his vision and would never be wrong.

The next thing he had to do was to let this piece of jade shock the alliance.

Let’s see, guys!

His gaze became more and more confident, and the reporters in the audience became more and more incomprehensible…

In addition, they found that this little rookie is really stuffy.

Even more “paralyzed” than Tim Duncan… No, Tim Duncan’s facial paralysis is on the court, and he is interviewed off the pitch one sentence after another, let alone greeting people.

The well-known phrase “the future is yours” is classic enough, but in fact, when he said this sentence to LeBron James, there was a sentence after it…

But this year it’s mine!

Directly amused the somewhat frustrated “little emperor” into a set of “return me fluttering fists”.

And Leonard, except for the introduction of his own name at the beginning, did not speak the whole time…

Are such introverted players sure they can survive in this league?

This side is full of doubts.

On the Knicks side, D’Antoni officially finalized the starting lineup for the new season:

No. 1 Lee Wan, No. 2 Ray Allen, No. 3 Artest, No. 4 Lewis, No. 5 Tyson Chandler.

The hardest decision was for Vince Carter to play as a substitute.

After all, this was also personally recruited by Li Wan at that time, and he had never played substitutes before, and now he “cheated”, no, he was called here with “sincerity”, but let him play substitutes, which is somewhat inappropriate.

In the end, D’Antoni’s opinion was that Ray Allen and Vince Carter competed for the job, and who was better suited to the Knicks’ starting lineup, who played the starting number two.

As for why not let Vince Carter play his familiar number three…

Vince Carter plus Ray Allen and Lewis’ defensive line, even D’Antonis, who is not interested in defense, feels that “the picture is too beautiful to see”, let alone Mike Brown.

He strongly disagreed with it…

The Knicks’ defensive resources are very good this season, and there is really no reason to give up on the defensive end!

Mike Brown is even confident of building the top three defensive intensity in the league!

Outcome……

Ray Allen wins!

In the original 11~12 season, “Junzi Ray” was still with the Celtics, averaging 14.5 points per game, shooting 45.4% from the field, and shooting 45% from three-point range, which is still the data of the league’s top shooters.

At the same time, Vince Carter was with the Mavericks, averaging 10.3 points, 41.2% shooting, 36.5% three-point shooting…

The state is indeed a bit worse.

This is also reflected on the training ground.

D’Antoni was not surprised by this.

If Vince Carter hadn’t had any problems, would he have been bought out by the Magic?

There are causes, there are consequences!

However, in this way, the Knicks have Beverley, Vince Carter, Cook, Kwame Brown, Odom, Rashid Wallace and other elite players on the bench.

The most luxurious bench in the league!

To be honest, when D’Antoni saw this list, he woke up a few times at night with a smile, and this lineup really doesn’t need to think about physical fitness at all when playing “Kombat Whirlwind”, just run hard!

But it soon became clear to D’Antoni that it wasn’t that simple…

The problem soon arose…

The first problem:

Dayao retired, and the threat of the Knicks’ strongest tactic, “Li Liu”, last season, plummeted.

The purpose of this set of tactics is actually to open up space under the basket and let the basket play strongly.

Now the basket can still open up space, but the person standing under the basket is Tyson Chandler, or Kwame Brown, expect them to play with the ball, it is better to expect the two of them to shoot three-pointers!

And without worrying about being eaten under the basket, the opponent can naturally make up for the defense in time without scruples, and Lewis’s shooting space will be compressed…

When Li Wan breaks through the basket, he may also be wrapped without hesitation, and he can’t cause damage so simply…

In short, this set of tactics is no longer enough to become the Knicks’ “strongest ace tactic”!

You’ll have to think about new tactics…
