New York, the most economically developed city in the world, has no annual GDP income that even surpasses many other countries, and is truly rich.

With three precincts and a population of more than 4 million, the equivalent of six to seven Milwaukees, New York City is as prosperous as you can imagine.

This is not the first time Tang Shuai has come to New York, strictly speaking, it should be the third time, the first two times were to Rock Park, and this time the place to go is Madison Square Garden, which is comparable to Rock Park.

Madison Square Square is the most well-known arena in the country, where the NBA Draft has been held in the past, and even Kobe Iverson's level of scoring is considered an honor to be able to score high here.

The home of the New York Knicks, right here.

As a big city team, the New York Knicks, like the Los Angeles Lakers, have the same popularity as other teams. Anthony is in the lineup, and the attention it receives will naturally not be low.

After arriving in New York, the Clippers did not arrange a training session and went directly back to the hotel to rest, which is of great significance to the team that has been playing on the road in a row.

Stephenson, who was the most noisy, also quieted down, after all, the battle on another battlefield in Milwaukee the night before was also quite physically demanding.

Compared to the calm of the Clippers, the media of the New York team is not so quiet.

Not because of the Knicks' own record, but on this very night, the NBA announced its best list for November.

When he was selected, he was a bad look, but now his performance has been slapped in the face. Porzingis was named Rookie of the Month in the first month of the new season. It's definitely something to celebrate for New Yorkers. In particular, this honor was won by the Tanhua Show, known as "Little Duncan" Okafor.

New Yorkers have been in ruin for far too long. The feeling of seeing the light of day in the darkness can really make people feel irrepressible excitement.

Porzingis in the East won the PK with Okafor, and in the West the champion Karl Porzingis won the final match. Anthony. Downs was elected undisputed with a high vote, and Russell's performance was really unsightly, but Tang Shuai caused a lot of controversy among fans.

Because of a series of previous events, Tang Shuai only played 6 games in November, and the number of games was far from being included in the selection range, but his statistics were truly efficient, averaging 25.6 minutes per game. cut 15.2 points and 2.4 assists, 60% two-point shooting, 58% three-point shooting rate, and an astonishing PER value of +12.

Such a topic seemed very interesting at the very beginning. After this topic was thrown out, it was only limited to the discussion on the Los Angeles fan forum, and the scope of the discussion was limited to the selection of the best rookie of the month in the West, but when someone suggested that Tang Shuai was wearing the No. 24 jersey like Kobe Bryant in the same city, it instantly attracted a large number of other fans. This includes a lot of Knicks fans.

The topic escalated in the debate, starting with a benign discussion that Porzingis was the driver successor and Downs was Duncan's successor. Tang Shuai is Kobe's successor, and the league will usher in another prosperous era. It turned into a vicious debate about who would be selected as the best rookie. The fans of each team kept attacking each other, and in the end, it even turned into a fight.

It was impossible for Tang Shuai, who was asleep, to pay attention to everything that happened on the Internet, and early the next morning, he followed the other players to the training hall in Madison Garden Plaza for pre-game team training.

After a full night's rest, the players have recovered a lot physically and mentally, and they are full of energy in the training session, as if they are back to the state of the five consecutive wins in the opening game.

Seeing that the players were full of energy in the training session, Kassel did not arrange another training session in the afternoon, but dragged the whole team to the Statue of Liberty for a spin.

The Statue of Liberty is of great significance to Americans, as it was originally given by the French after the end of the American Revolutionary War and symbolizes the highest American spirit of freedom.

This statue can be said to be very familiar to Tang Shuai, almost all Hollywood disaster movies are indispensable to this sculpture, but it was really the first time he saw it in reality, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

The statue is 139 meters tall and 12 stories high, looking down like a hill, and the scene of the goddess holding the torch high really makes people feel unconsciously yearning for freedom.

Especially after arriving, they took the elevator to the head of the goddess statue, breathed in the fresh air with a hint of seafood, raised their eyes to see the ocean, turned their heads to see the goddess torch, and the sense of freedom was even stronger.

Kassel's purpose in doing this is simple, on the one hand, to relax the players, and on the other hand, to strengthen their desire to prepare for the next game against the Knicks.

The player-turned-head coach knows that while the Knicks have not been doing well this season, Anthony will definitely be a big problem for their weak small forward group.

On the evening of December 3, US time, the Madison Garden Plaza, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was full.

The opening ceremony of the Knicks was also shocking enough, and the brilliant lights were much better than the Clippers, especially the star Cameron. When Anthony was introduced, the whole arena erupted with the sound of a tsunami and it felt like the roof was about to be lifted.

In today's NBA, where small ball is prevalent and teams are becoming more and more team-oriented, super scorers like Anthony are becoming more and more rare.

Team basketball can bring victory to the team, but the difficult scoring and lone hero obviously attract the attention of fans.

After the introduction of the players, the players began the final warm-up before the game.

Tang Shuai noticed a peculiar phenomenon at this time, most of the fans at the scene were wearing casual clothes, but there were two distinct colored areas, there was a group of fans on the left side wearing white T shirts, holding Porzingis's big head KT board in their hands, and on the opposite side of the right side was a similar number of fans, wearing red T shirts, holding his big head KT board high, and the two sides looked like they were going to fight.

"Lance, what's going on?" Knowing that Stephenson was more concerned about these, he asked directly.

"These people, you say?" Stephenson said and looked at him in surprise, "You weren't on Facebook today?" ”

Tang Shuai shook his head, people's habits can't be changed in a day, Americans like to use Twitter and Facebook to communicate, and he still likes to use instant chat tools like QQ.

"Then it's no wonder that this group of people quarreled on Facebook about who is more likely to be selected as the best rookie of the year, you or Porzingis, and almost got into a fight in the end, and then I don't know who pointed out that we were going to play the Knicks, and this group of people came here to compare popularity." Stephenson explained.

After listening to what Stephenson said, Tang Shuai suddenly felt inexplicably moved in his heart, a player, in addition to working hard to improve the level, the support of the fans is the biggest motivation to move forward, he is just a rookie, but he has received such support from the fans, which is much more meaningful than winning the best rookie.

Thinking of this, he reached out and waved to the group of fans who were supporting his area.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the fans immediately cheered excitedly, and the big-headed KT board also continued to swing.

Tang Shuai stretched out his hand and patted his chest, then turned back to continue warming up, he could see that most of these fans were students, and there were many Americans, they should have come from Los Angeles to support him, this support, what he can do is to do his best to play this game, so as to be worthy of this support.

(Tang Shuai plays in the NBA, I code words in front of the computer, Tang Shuai has his fans, I have you, your support, I can feel it like Tang Shuai, and I will be the same as Tang Shuai, with more updates to repay, so as to be worthy of your support.) (To be continued.) )
