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

In this game, both sides were cautious with the use of their main players.

But the result was that the Spurs slaughtered the Knicks with a score of 139-89.

The Spurs' players were clearly in better form, hitting 19 three-pointers compared to four for the Knicks. Gallinari has been slow to find his touch, and James Johnson and Matthews are still trying to adapt to the pace of the NBA-level game.

But that's 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 when they came on the pitch.

Zach Randolph was in terrible form, making 13 shots from the field, 0-of-10. Milicic is also trying to find his pre-injury form. As for Dugg, he is still doing an important run-in with Kirksin Rich. He tried three back-to-back singles in the match, but none of them were successful.

After this game, ESPN's headline was: After puncturing the false bubble, the Knicks are in their original form!

Last year, the Knicks counterattacked all the way to the Finals, invisibly slapping many basketball experts who rely on predictions to eat. Now that the Knicks are showing their flaws, of course they have to be sarcastic to the end.

In a sense, the Knicks, after the madness of last season's playoffs, have become the villain in the eyes of the media and the public enemy of everyone in the East.

The pre-season continues.

The Knicks flew to San Diego, where they lost two more games in a row. Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers.

Then in Satmento, they lost to the Kings and Warriors.

Finally, he flew to Colorado and lost the game against the Nuggets.

Six wins in a row!

Averaged 14.5 points lost per game.

Although this is only a pre-season game, it will not be counted towards the regular season results.

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

However, such a performance is really difficult to equate with the Eastern Conference champions, and ESPN quickly downgraded the Knicks' ranking in the power rankings, from league 14 to league 21, which is already the ranking of the lottery area.

All of a sudden, countless basketball experts jumped out to sarcastically. Such results seem to validate their comments and make them extra motivated.

"The Knicks are like a gambler who has overdrawn all their credit cards, they've lost everything, and they're surrounded by creditors on the lookout. The Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, and even the Cleveland Cavaliers, they're all waiting to deliver the killing blow to the Knicks. ”

Zach Randolph, who claims the Knicks are invincible, is averaging 9.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in six games, shooting 32 percent from the field, and averaging 0.2 blocks per game with Milicic. Honestly, even if Charles Barkley walks on the pitch now, he will be better than them. ”

Kobe Bryant must be very proud at the moment, because his protégé Snoopy has indeed learned his mamba spirit. In six games, he struck 42 irons, averaging 7 irons per game. You may think it's nothing, but he's averaging less than 11 shots per game. If you dig a little deeper, you'll see that he only hits 2 mid-to-long-range back-to-back singles. So? Are you sure Snoopy was practicing with Kobe Bryant all summer and not doing something else? ”

“……”

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

"The Knicks need a good head coach right now to stabilize the morale of the team, and both Herb Williams and his coaching staff have limited talent. If D'Antoni, who is good at adjusting the attack, returns to the court, things will have a very different effect......"

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

Then, he turned on the TV, and the figure of Devin Harris appeared on New York TV. He's talking about the upcoming New York derby. The New Jersey has always had Brooklyn in mind, and they intend to move the team to Brooklyn in the next two years. In an effort to gain more visibility in New York State and thus open up the ball market, they have recently been touting Devin Harris, the heart of the team, in the hope of creating a star effect.

Devin Harris has been extremely keen to touch New York Superstar Snoopy in his recent landing promotion, and consciously or unconsciously always revealed that I am stronger than Snoopy and more suitable to be a basketball hero in New York State.

He has stressed more than once that ESPN's rankings are not fair enough: "My quality is definitely not at the level of 63rd. I can at least squeeze into the top 30 in the league. ”

When asked if Snoopy's ranking was accurate, he said something else: "He's still a rookie, 62 is already a very good ranking. And as the second-round leader of the team, it happens to be around 60. ”

"I think the night after tomorrow we will get the final victory. We got better and we only lost one game in pre-season. But the Knicks ......"

Annoyed by his rhetoric, Dugg immediately switched to a new station, and the local Chinese channel had already begun to warm up for the upcoming Chinese derby. Yi Jianlian, the captain of the Chinese men's basketball team, has been with the Nets since last season, averaging 8.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, which is neither good nor bad.

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

This gave David Stern a taste of money. Especially after Snoopy's appearance, he has realized that the NBA will usher in a second huge explosion in China.

Therefore, this year's regular season opening game for the Knicks is a battle with the Nets at Madison Garden.

To be honest, Dugg is not at all interested in the gimmicks of the China derby and the New York derby.

But he was hungry for victory.

It's time to put an end to this terrible situation.

He's fed up with the condescending rhetoric of the commentators, and he can't stand the team's tasting defeat after defeat.

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

"Zach, you've got to lose weight. I mean, you need to lose some fat before you get back on the pitch. If you continue to let those critics talk about it, I'm afraid you'll be hurt in your heart, after all, you've just come out of the shadow of a broken love. ”

Dugg was very frank and told Randolph what he thought.

Hell knows what Randolph went through this offseason, and his level was so bad, not only did he not feel good, but even his ball quality dropped rapidly. He's on the court, you can't stop giving him the ball, and now he can't shoot a basketball to the basket.

So, he's completely a negative force on the pitch.

At one time, the idea of the coaching staff was to get him back to feeling in the game. But after six pre-season games, his feelings were not found,

So, Dugg gave his advice.

Zach Randolph looked at Dug strangely. He thinks this suggestion is a bit ridiculous, I don't play? How does this work?

Dugg stared into his eyes very seriously, he was very sincere, and said his reasons: "Trust me, I'm thinking about you. I promised you to help you get into the All-Star Game. But you can't get a good stat on the pitch at the moment, and your shooting percentage has dropped to less than 30%. It's going to drag down your average for the whole season, and if you can lose 10 pounds in a week, I'm sure you'll gradually regain the feeling of being omnipotent. But now, you should get into the gym. ”

Randolph frowned and thought about it... Snoopy has a point. I'm in a very bad state right now, and if it goes on like this, it's definitely going to drag me down to the average.

"But can you handle the New Jersey without my help? And the upcoming Atlantan. Randolph asked with concern.

"It's going to be very tough, but I'm going to give 200 percent of my strength to it. Yes, and 100 percent for you. ”

Dugg told him with a smile.

Randolph nodded. Although he had a headache with mathematical terms like 100 percent and 200 percent, he enjoyed talking to Snoopy...... He always puts himself in everyone's shoes and he's a really good guy.

When Randolph decided to go to the gym to cut off the fat from the summer overeating, things got a lot easier.

Dugg turned and walked into the locker room, where he began to assign tasks to his players.

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

After sending Carter away, the New Jersey Nets are now at the heart of Devin Harris and Brook Lopez. Back in 2006, Devin Harris proved to be one of the league's fastest attacking defenders. Last season, under Frank's offensive system, he proved that he can be a source of attack for a team. His burst is the most threatening perimeter attack in the league. ”

"As for Brook Lopez, he shone in the second half of last season. He made the texture of the Nets' penalty area visibly shiny and tough. He is the strongest future for the Nets. If he retires from this team, he will almost secure the best center in the team's history. ”

It was precisely because of the excellent performance of these two people that the Nets were relieved and bold to send Vince Carter away. In preseason this season, the two have developed amazing chemistry and they have won six games. They have shown very good momentum and we have every reason to believe that they can achieve much better results this season than last season. ”

"As for their opponents, last season's Eastern Conference champions, the Knicks. They lost all six of their pre-season games and lost by a huge margin of points, and they look like they're back to the dark days of '04 to '08, and I don't think they can go any further. I even think they're going to go out of their way before the All-Star break, empty all of the team's huge contracts, and even take Snoopy. After all... In 2010, LeBron James was the biggest pursuit of New Yorkers! ”

"Regarding Devin Harris vs Snoopy, I think Devin Harris is superior. Snoopy hasn't made great strides this summer, and the Black Mamba's vaunted offensive skills have even allowed him to shoot even less. ”

“……”

Dugg didn't watch the episode, and he went home that night with his head covered and asleep. Then the next morning, he received a call from Jennifer, who told Dugg that she would arrive in New York tonight to cheer on his opener.

For the content of Jennifer's phone call, Dugg did not read too much. During the long offseason, almost all the Duchess girls were looking for him, hoping to have some personal contact with him. But... Dugg gave all his time to Kobe.

Now that Dugg has finally come out of the training gym at Bryant Beverly Hills, it's not uncommon for the Duchess girls to get moving.

It's like the Black Mamba was seven times by Vanessa, who was disgruntled with her desire for more than 40 days, on the night Dug left Los Angeles!
