Chapter 611: Terrifying Young Man
Interestingly, both teams did not open up the score difference at the beginning of the game. The Clippers were very relaxed, and the tension on the Suns' side was in stark contrast.
Although the successive departures of Paul and Griffin last year hit the fans very hard, there was no case of fans burning jerseys when Thomas Jr. arrived at the Cavaliers. Perhaps it was the appearance of Teodosic that gave fans a certain psychological buffer period, Griffin was treated with a salary cut by the team the year before last, and some people probably understand why he left the Nets, who were fired from the maximum salary contract.
Hield immediately moved in the opposite direction of Teodosic with the ball, and immediately shot a 2-point hollow into the net! 12:7! The Clippers continued to fall behind, and Evans came to the frontcourt and grabbed the basketball and immediately jumped up to shoot a three-point shot!
Bogdan took Willy's serve and quickly went to the frontcourt, and Carter immediately hit a 2-point jumper when he got the basketball! 14:10!
24:19! The Kings held a slight lead heading into the second quarter. Chen has been watching the game carefully, and he wants to watch the movements of some teams this season! He is also convinced that he can get back to the game and coach the team! As a result, the camera hits him twice and goes unnoticed.
The lineup that played in this quarter was Costa, Randolph, Jack, Hield, Bogdan. On the Clippers' side of the spectrum are Jordan Jr., Wilson, Decker, Teodosic and Lowe.
At the beginning of the game, Jack received a pass from Bogdan and quickly went to the frontcourt, jumped up in front of Decker and missed the shot. Wilson immediately got the rebound and passed directly to Jordan Jr., Teodosic took Uncle Huang's basketball and went to the front court to hit a three-pointer under the opponent's defense! 24:22!
Now, as he said, Teodosic is starting to strengthen in attack! In such a competition, he is also working hard in this aspect! Not quite unlike the public impression is the composure and sophistication of Teodosic, a European player, since arriving in the NBA.
Maybe it's because of his age, or maybe he has a big heart. At the World Championships 10 years ago, the young Serbian defender Teodosic and the Spanish team finally beat the opponent in the duel! At that time, he had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists! Immediately his fame began to rise rapidly!
Hield carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Randolph jumped up and dunked immediately after getting the ball! 26:22! On the first day of the game, the Kings showed a strong fighting spirit!
However, when playing against a Clippers team that is just thinking about warming up, there is actually a big gap between them. For a team like the Kings, perhaps relying on the excellent play of some players and a player like Hield who may become a new star in the future is the hope and belief that has always existed on their team.
They can play against a lot of teams this season, but these are mostly teams that don't have any hope of making the playoffs or have a bad season or have the same team as them that want to get a playoff ticket.
The second quarter ended at 51:47. The Kings lead by four points. However, in the next quarter, the Clippers will change a lot. They switched to the main lineup, and although the Kings also made quick adjustments, they still ended the third quarter with 74:76! Decker scored 2 points in the last minute and put the Clippers directly ahead of the score!
In the fourth quarter, the Kings didn't have too much of a fierce confrontation, and in the middle or so, Carl replaced Hield and George Hill, who had just been on the court for a few minutes. The final match ended with 94:107!
In this game, Willy got 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Randolph 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Carter 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, and Hield 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists! Hill had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
Maybe it's good for the Kings to play like this, and the young players in this game took turns to play okay, and they all got a few points. Hill, Bogdan and Hield are still the best defenders in the team this season!
But in terms of rebounding, maybe they don't have the kind of players who can give the corresponding stats to help the team struggle less in the mire. Randolph's arrival may be able to make some qualitative changes to the team's interior line! He's not bad on his own defense and rebounding.
The Grizzlies were still good, but now he has to find his worth with the Kings!
On the Clippers' side, Jordan Jr. got 16 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 assist! Wilson had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Decker had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Evans had 20 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, and Teodosic had 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists! Griffin had 7 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists!
Interestingly, Teodosic, who is known for assists in this game, did not have the highest assists in terms of statistics. Griffin has won the team's assist king! When you're with the Nets, especially in key games, Griffin has a lot to do.
This environment also allows him to integrate into the team in better shape. While creating opportunities for the team, their own offense is still guaranteed, and the Clippers can be said to have improved a lot.
Fly to New York right away. There's a Knicks vs. Suns game tomorrow! Booker can be said to be a well-deserved star player in Phoenix now! Both teams have varying degrees of problems.
After the Knicks sent Anthony away, the team's combat power still has a certain impact! However, in the rapid reorganization, Boshen walked to the front row of the team! The players still have a certain problem with the coordination.
And the most discussed on the Internet is the current president of operations in the team's management, Jackson. Ever since Zen Master started to join the team management, it feels like his team is not going well.
The Bulls Dynasty and Lakers Dynasty back then were still impressive. But why can't the Knicks have such a dynasty, even if they win a championship or make it to the second round of the playoffs?
It can be said that their equipment back then was still good! Ross is in, Anthony is in, young Porzingis. Such a lineup just can't play well...... Some netizens believe that the responsibility for the team's loss should not be too much on the melon.
He should be allowed to do the work that suits him. For example, pure offense. It's not necessarily a bad thing to control the tempo of the team and on the pitch to other players, even younger players.
But Rose joined Cleveland with a base salary. Anthony has signed a contract with the Rockets. So what is going to happen on the New York Knicks side is that there is a new leader. Boshen immediately appeared in people's field of vision.
Porzingis is a player who has not been criticized in some media comments, or even said that his performance is mediocre. His team at this time must be one of the core players of the team in the eyes of the outside world!
......
"So what do you think about your current team this new season?" The reporter started a short interview with the Zen master by appointment in advance.
"Yes, it's not like some media said a few months ago, like three months ago. We've put a bit of effort into the new players now as well. But what they think and how far they can fight now that they have joined is up to them. I'm looking forward to that."
'What are your thoughts on some of the players in the squad? For example, Porzingis~"
"I thought you were going to ask other players~" After the Zen master finished speaking, the reporter immediately laughed.
"In the previous seasons in which he was involved, Porzingis did not have much in terms of ball distribution and playing time. A lot of people in the team want to play on the pitch, but it's nice to win. They only seem to remember the former. His potential is still good, he is a guy who can be said to be able to speak of energy and efficiency."
"So do you have any new changes this season other than the players?"
"First of all, I'm not very happy with the coach. You know, they're not too bad in the first place. But why did you achieve such results? I'm not saying to shirk responsibility or anything, but naturally I also made mistakes in some details and specific things. So the next step is to choose some coaches."
"By the way, it is said that he has not been approached since the Brooklyn Nets cut coach Chen Yinan last season. Other teams approached him, but he refused. So, do you have any thoughts on this? Oh, I mean you're going to hire him? ”
"It took a certain amount of time to select the players in the team. The words of the coach are not so easy to make. All I can say is that I can't rule out hiring Chen. If he passes, I don't know what position he will get, but teaching assistant is still a temporary job. I like this young man."
Chen saw this interview video at night when he was almost asleep. After thinking about it at night, after watching the Kings and Clippers game, I started to sleep after some of the team's strength this season. Not to mention, tickets for the preseason are really easy to buy~
"Hello? Is there any advertisement to answer~" Chen had just finished eating in the morning, and not long after the agent called.
"Did you watch that video?" The agent didn't say anything superfluous and asked Chen a question directly, which confused him.
"What video? Is it that XXX video? ~How's your figure? Chen immediately said with a smile.
"What? Well? Chen: Are you kidding me in broad daylight? ~Messed up my train of thought~"
"Haha, it's okay~ Or you come to me for a drink at night~ I'm idle now and I don't know what to do~"
"By the way, that recent video. It seems to be in the period shortly after the first game of preseason. Jackson is interested in recruiting you to join the New York Knicks for this video. The title is quite eye-catching, you won't not see it, right? ”
"Oh, the reporter asked him about Porzingis, right?"
"That's right! I recently interviewed a Zen master like this. Tell me what you think."
"I don't know what the position is yet. Jackson has joked about me online in the past. So I feel like it should be a joke this time~ Or is it for the promotion of his own team? Anyway, I don't think it's likely, but try it, if the other party wants me. Don't you mean that? ~”
"Yes, I think the other party is still interesting to you."
"I'll talk about it then, and I'll go if the conditions are okay"
......
Immediately came to Madison Square Garden, and there were a lot of fans here today! This is still a bit of a surprise. Maybe Booker and Porzingis have a lot of fans. The New York starters were Noah, Porzingis, Reims, Hardaway Jr., and Baker. The Suns, in that order, are Tyson, Dudley, Warren, Booker and Davin.
At the beginning of the game, Noah took the first basketball and passed it to Hardaway Jr. The latter immediately broke through and scored a layup! Hardaway Jr. has also soared to $16.5 million a year since he arrived in Atlanta to New York!
I believe that he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he may go far on this road! When it comes to the NBA, the adaptability is much higher than that of their peers. Skillful in playing, sophisticated, and good in shooting.
Booker took the basketball, and there was a certain amount of commotion on the scene immediately. Facing Beck Devin, he jumped high and jumped three points into the net! 3:2! There was a sound of surprise at first, and then many fans began to cheer!
Jackson also came to the game today to watch the game. He inadvertently spotted Chen Yinan on the big screen, as if he was watching the game from the other side. The expression was a state of thinking, but the camera didn't seem to notice that he swept over directly not very quickly......
The Zen master was looking for Chen's direction and planned to go over and say hello to him during his break. But immediately the audience cheered again, and the people around him began to look like him. It turned out that he appeared on the screen. Jackson, who had just stood up, immediately smiled and sat down again......
Baker slowly went to the front court after receiving the pass, and felt that his hands were suddenly empty after a few moves with Booker! Booker, who held the ball to the front court again, immediately jumped high and hit a three-point shot!! 6:2! The Knicks' interim head coach is about to take a timeout.
Lee then replaced Baker. Devin on the field now looks very relaxed, and the camera shows him here, seeing that he is more casual in both his body movements and state. This is again at the home arena in New York......
This season, the Suns are still not very strong in terms of overall color. But the team is ready! Their morale is not low at all! Lance took the ball and immediately passed it to Porzingis, who went straight to Dudley with his back to score 2 points! 6:4!
Booker took the basketball again, and the scene immediately shouted "defense"! After successfully attracting three opposing players, Booker passed directly to Tyson under the basket. The latter immediately dunked and scored points! 8:4! Booker started with 6 points and 1 assist!
Hardaway Jr. passed half court, Porzingis got the basketball, and Noah was interfered with by Warren after receiving it in the air! When the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Noah went straight over and reached the ball and settled there.
He stabilized a little, made sure he didn't go out of bounds and passed the ball to Lee's hand, who didn't have three points! Tyson gets the ball and immediately passes it to Devin's hands!
At this time, many fans were a little confused...... How many points does Devin have to score in this game? Then Davin took the basketball and hit a three-point shot! 11:4! The camera was given to Jackson at this time...... Seeing that his face is a little unsightly now.
This has happened more than once. Last season, I often saw Zen masters there with a calm face. At that time, Anthony was still on the team, but the Knicks just couldn't win. Losing a lot of times in a season.
A few rounds Chan saw that although Hardaway II and N'Golo Kante are now on the New York side, there are other players who are okay. But the overall coordination of the team and whether the players have a tacit understanding is a question......
It's a bit of a headache to see the current state of this team...... On the other hand, the sun is ...... As soon as Chen thought of this, he saw Booker immediately make a feint to pass Lee, and immediately stepped back and hit a long-range jumper!
