Guard With a Knife

The Knicks' first preseason game kicked off in Louisville, Kentucky. Their opponent was the San Antonio Spurs, who lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season. At that time, many commentators claimed that the Western Conference Finals were the finals.

In this game, both sides used the main players cautiously.

But it turned out that the Spurs slaughtered the Knicks with a score of 139:89.

The Spurs' players are obviously in better shape. They made 19 three-pointers, while the Knicks have only four. Gallinari hasn't found the touch for a long time, James Johnson and Matthews are still working hard to adapt to the NBA-level game rhythm.

But this is not the main problem. The main problem is that the Knicks' main players have not played a role in turning the tide. They even played worse than the substitutes after they came on the court.

Zach Randolph was in extremely bad form. He took 13 shots and made 0 in the game. Milicic is also trying to find his state before the injury. As for Doug, he is still making an important run-in with Kirk Sinrich. In the game, he tried 3 times in post-up singles, but they were all unsuccessful.

After this game, ESPN's title was: After puncturing the false bubble, the Knicks showed their true shape!

Last year, the Knicks counterattacked all the way to the finals, invisibly slapped a lot of basketball experts who rely on predictions to eat. Now that the Knicks are showing their flaws, of course they have to sarcasm to the end.

In a sense, the Knicks, after experiencing the madness of last season's playoffs, have become a negative role in the eyes of the media, and they are also the public enemy that everyone in the East can punish.

The preseason is still going on.

The Knicks flew to San Diego, where they lost two more games. Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.

Then in Satmento, lost to the king and the warriors.

Finally flew to Colorado and lost in the game with the Nuggets.

Six losing streak!

Lost an average of 14.5 points per game.

Although this is only the preseason, it will not be included in the regular season results.

Although it is said that since the Jordan era, the strong west and the weak east have become the alliance pattern.

But this kind of performance is really difficult to equate with the Eastern Conference champions. ESPN quickly lowered the Knicks' ranking on the power list, from the 14th league to the 21st league, which is already ranked in the lottery area.

Suddenly, countless basketball experts jumped out to sarcastically. Such results seem to verify their comments and make them particularly motivated.

"The Knicks are like a gambler who has overdrawn all their credit cards. They have lost everything and are surrounded by eye-catching creditors. The Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, and even the Cleveland Cavaliers. Waiting for a fatal blow to the Knicks."

"Zachrandorf, who claimed that the Knicks were invincible, averaged 9.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in six games, shooting 32% from the field, and averaging 0.2 blocks per game with Milicic. To be honest, even now Charles Barkley will be better than them on the court."

"Kobe Bryant must be very proud at the moment, because his proud protégé Snoopy has indeed learned his Mamba spirit. In six games, he hit 42 irons and averaged 7 irons. Maybe you think this is nothing. But he averaged less than 11 shots per game. If you go deeper, you will find that his mid-to-long range back singles only hit 2. So? Are you sure Snoopy has been training with Kobe Bryant all summer The ball is not doing something else?"

"..."

When the Knicks returned to New York, Doug even saw subtle criticism in some New York media.

"The Knicks now need a good head coach to stabilize the military. Both Herb Williams and his coaching staff have limited talents. If D'Antoni, who is good at training offenses, returns to the court, things will definitely have a different effect... "

When Doug saw the news, he threw the newspaper into the trash can in the next second.

Then he turned on the TV, and the figure of Devin Harris appeared on New York TV. He is talking about the upcoming New York Derby. New Jersey people have always missed Brooklyn, they plan to move the team to Brooklyn in the past two years. In order to gain a higher reputation in New York State, thereby opening up the ball market, they have been trying to tout the team's core Devin Harris recently, hoping to create a star effect.

Devin Harris has recently been extremely keen to touch the New York Superman balloon star Snoopy in his landing publicity. Intentionally or unconsciously, he always reveals that I am stronger than Snoopy and more suitable to be a basketball hero in New York State.

He has repeatedly emphasized that ESPN's ranking is not fair enough: "My strength is definitely not at the level of 63. I can at least squeeze into the top 30 in the league."

When asked whether Snoopy’s ranking was accurate, he said in another tone: “He’s still a rookie, 62 is already a very good ranking. And as the team’s second overall leader, he happens to be in the 60th place. about."

"I think the night after tomorrow, we will win the final victory. We worked better together, we only lost one game in the preseason. But the Knicks..."

His remarks bored Doug, he immediately changed the channel, and the local Chinese channel had already begun to warm up the upcoming Chinese Derby. The captain of the Chinese men's basketball team, Yi Jianlian, has played for the Nets since last season. His 8.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game are neither good nor bad.

The NBA has been very concerned about the Chinese market in recent years. With the rapid economic development, coupled with the increasing despair of Chinese men's football, basketball has quickly become one of the most popular sports among Chinese young people.

This made David Stern smell the smell of money. Especially after Snoopy was born, he has realized that the NBA will usher in the second huge outbreak in China.

Therefore, the opening game of the regular season for the Knicks this year is to compete with the Nets in Madison Garden.

To be honest, Doug is not at all interested in the gimmicks of the Chinese Derby and the New York Derby.

But he is full of desire for victory.

It's time to end this terrible situation.

He has had enough of those commentators' high-ranking arguments, and he can't stand the team's tasting failures time and time again.

So, he found Zach Randolph for an in-depth conversation the day before the game.

"Zach, you have to lose weight. I mean, you need to lose some fat before returning to the court. If you continue to let the critics speak up, I am worried that your soul will be hurt. After all, you just started Come out of the shadow of broken love."

Doug spoke frankly to Randolph about his thoughts.

The ghost knows what Randolph has gone through in this offseason. His level has been greatly lost. Not only is his hand feeling bad, but his ball performance has dropped rapidly. He stays on the court, you can't fail to give him full possession of the ball, and now he can't shoot basketball into the basket at all.

Therefore, he has completely become a negative force on the court.

Once, the coaching staff's idea was to let him get back the feeling from the game. But after six preseason games, he didn’t find his feeling.

Ever since, Doug gave his advice.

Zach Randolph looked at Dug strangely. He thinks this suggestion is a bit ridiculous, am I not playing? How can this work?

Doug stared into his eyes very seriously. He was very sincere and said his reasons: "Trust me, I am thinking of you. I promised you to help you enter the All-Star Game. But you are now There is no way to get a good number on the court. Your shooting percentage has fallen to less than 30%. This will drag down your average throughout the season. If you can lose 10 pounds in a week, I believe you will Gradually find the feeling of omnipotence. But now, you should enter the gym."

Randolph frowned and thought about it... Snoopy did make sense. My state is very bad now, if this continues, it will definitely drag down to the average value.

"But, without my help, can you handle the New Jersey people? And the coming Atlanta people." Randolph asked concerned.

"Although this will become extremely difficult, I will definitely put in 200% of my efforts for this. Yes, I will pay 100% for you."

Doug told him with a smile.

Randolph nodded. Although he has a headache with mathematical terms like 100% and 200%, he enjoys talking with Snoopy... He always puts himself in his place and considers everyone, he is a real good person.

When Randolph decided to walk into the gym to reduce the fats caused by the summer binge eating, things became much easier.

Doug turned and walked into the locker room, and he began to assign tasks to the players.

At the same time, ESPN, which is responsible for broadcasting the opening game, is also conducting pre-match analysis and comments.

"After sending Carter away, the current internal and external core of the New Jersey Nets is Devin Harris and Brook Lopez. As early as 2006, Devin Harris has proved that he is one of the fastest guards in the league. Last season, Under Frank's offensive system, he proved that he can be the source of a team's offense. His scoring is the most threatening perimeter attack in the league."

"As for Brook Lopez, he shined in the second half of last season. He made the Nets' penalty zone a very bright and tough. He is the strongest future for the Nets. If he retires on this team, he can almost secure the team. The best center in history."

"It is precisely because of the excellent performance of these two men that the Nets are confident and bold to send Vince Carter away. This season, the two played amazing chemistry in the preseason, and they won 6 games. They showed great performance. The good momentum gives us every reason to believe that they can achieve results this season far surpassing those of the previous season."

"As for their opponent, the Eastern Conference champions Knicks last season. They lost all six preseason games, and they all lost by a huge difference. They seem to have returned to the dark days of 2004 to 2008. , I don’t think they can go further. Even I think they will go to war before the All-Star Game, clear all the team’s huge contracts, and even take Snoopy. After all... In 2010, LeBron James is the greatest pursuit of New Yorkers!"

"About the comparison between Devin Harris and Snoopy~www.ltnovel.com~ I think Devin Harris is better. Snoopy hasn't made great progress this summer, the offensive skills that Black Mamba boasts. It even made his hit rate even lower."

"..."

Doug didn't watch this episode. After returning home that night, he went to sleep with his head covered. Then the next morning, he received a call from Jennifer, and she told Doug that she would arrive in New York tonight to cheer for his opener.

For the content of Jennifer's phone call, Du Ge did not do too much interpretation. In the long offseason, almost all the duke girls are looking for him, hoping to have some private contact with him. But... Doug gave Kobe all the time.

Now that Doug finally came out of the training gym in Kobe's Beverly Hills, it was normal for the Duke girls to move after hearing the wind.

It's as if the Black Mamba was held back by Vanessa, who was dissatisfied with the ball for more than forty days, and worked seven times on the night Doug left LA!
