David Stern's strategy is to build stars, the more stars the better, the better the better, so that you can make more money, attract more viewers, increase the team's broadcast ratings, and then there will be ads, and there will be money. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info hosts, commentators, and basketball experts have increased, forming a huge industrial chain.

A victory, the media throughout North America are praising Kobe Bryant, and forgetting the "Eagle County Incident".

And the Chinese media are generally happy that Yao Ming is about to become an All-Star player.

ESPN basketball expert Nicholas wrote an article analyzing the possibility of Yang Rui winning the NBA Coach of the Year for the fourth time, believing that he is likely to set a new record this season.

Nicholas said that the league's new division rules are in favor of the Lakers and Jerry Young, who has an easier time than before to win the top three in the West in the regular season, and how much the team's record is improved from last season is an important basis for selecting the best coach.

Previously, the NBA had 29 teams, divided into four divisions, and the division champion locked in the top two teams in the East and West. At the start of the season, the Bobcats joined 30 teams divided into six divisions, with the division winner locking up the top three spots in the East and West.

One of the major characteristics of the west is that almost all the strong teams are concentrated in the southwest region. The Mavericks, Spurs, Rockets, Grizzlies, and Hornets all have the strength to compete for playoff qualification. It's a tough place to come up with results, and they played each other four times in the regular season.

The Lakers' Pacific Division is much less competitive. The other four teams are the Warriors, Clippers, Kings, and Suns.

In addition to the strong strength of the Suns, the other three teams are basically a piece of cake, the Lakers lineup is completely explosive, as long as they don't make stupid mistakes, 12 wins are in hand.

On the evening of the 3rd, the Knicks also came into focus, losing their opening game 81-86 to the 76ers, who were at the bottom of last season.

Iverson returned from injury and scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals, beating Dream Six teammate Marbury. The 76ers are a group of blue-collar workers on the inside, and they don't suffer on the Knicks inside.

Sprewell was in a slump, scoring just six points and two assists. The first thing that comes to mind when people mention him is his yacht, and he has been so playful in the summer that he hasn't trained much.

After the game, the reporter interviewed Larry Brown and told him that Yao Ming won two doubles in the first game, and asked him to evaluate Yao Ming's performance.

Brown didn't know how to speak, and the scene was very embarrassing at one point.

He can't say that he is optimistic about Yao Ming's future, the boss will go crazy. Do you know that he has a future and has not been cultivated, and he has a neuropathy?

Brown can't insist that Yao Ming can't do it, in case Yao Ming's data is greatly improved this season and he is selected as an All-Star, he will be slapped in the face.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Brown refused to evaluate Yao Ming, and also refused to evaluate Yang Rui. But it didn't work, and after the Olympics, there was no one to support Brown anymore, and everyone was waiting to see him laugh.

The Lakers challenged the Knicks away in the second game, which was obviously a deliberately arranged gimmick by the league, and it was broadcast live across the United States, attracting the attention of fans around the world.

On the 4th, there was no one in New York who was more stressed than Larry Brown.

Yao Ming won a double-double on the court, and if Yao Ming has another outstanding performance today, the media will definitely not let Brown go, and the Knicks' home fans will not let him go.

Although the Knicks are playing at home, they are actually at a disadvantage, they are back-to-back games, and the Lakers players have a day off.

In fact, Brown knows that Yao Ming's offensive ability is very strong, there are no dead ends in the mid-range shot, and his ability to defend the restricted area is not bad. But he chose the latter between Yao Ming and Ben Wallace, unwilling to send away Daben and cultivate Yao Ming.

Brown is xenophobic, and if you look at his coaching history, you will find that he has not played a single international player, and he has the ability to target these people. Not only Yao Ming, Milicic, but even Nowitzki, Gasol, and Ginobili are dead ends in the hands of Brown, and he is a bit of regional and even racist in his bones.

Funnily enough, Brown commented on Ginobili last season, saying that Ginobili would only fight around, indicating that he was somewhat disdainful of him. As a result, at the Olympics, Ginobili led the Argentine team to play a random game and eliminated the Dream Six team that "played correctly".

Brown had a hunch that Yang Rui would definitely arrange tactics for Yao Ming, and he guessed correctly......

In the locker room, Yang Rui summoned the players, stood on the seats in the locker room, stood tall, and said loudly: "Today, our goal is very clear, that is, to help Yao brush data, and everyone should actively open up to help him create opportunities!" ”

51-year-old veteran coach Lionel Hollins squirted directly from the sidelines.

On the court, he saw that Yang Rui was helping Kobe Bryant brush up the data, at least he was seriously arranging tactics before the game started, but this time it was good, he shouted it out directly. Can "brush data" be a slogan?!

Yang Rui continued: "Yao has a reason to break out this time, he has to prove his strength at Madison Square Garden, and Brown delayed him for two years. To make up for those two years of losses, Brown will have to pay the price. We want people to know that he's a blind coach. Anyone who likes this old man like Brown can refuse, and I definitely don't force it. ”

The players all laughed, who likes Brown?

Yang Rui smiled: "Very good, with Yao as the core offense, this is a test of whether we can play perfect team basketball." Except for Yao, everyone should be selfless! ”

Hollins was a little dizzy, it turns out that team basketball can be explained like this......

The players came out on time, and Brown was embarrassed before the game started.

The New York fans gave Yao Ming a round of applause, and no one called him parallel goods anymore, and he was relieved to leave New York.

The fans also gave Yang Rui a round of applause. Yang Rui made a commentary last season and sprayed Brown wildly, and the fans applauded, which shows that most people think that what Yang Rui said makes sense, which is like a stab in Brown's heart.

New York fans don't like Brown's concept of winning defensively, and many hope that the Knicks can go back to the 1997-98 season when they win offensively, even if they can't, and score more points and fight in the restricted area to fight defenselessly.

With the 76ers, Brown still had a good-looking Iverson, and with the Knicks, they not only had a dull offense, but also shrank in the restricted area so that opponents couldn't dunk.

On the other hand, Yang Rui's team, even the Wizards are in the top five in the league in terms of offensive power, and they win offense.

Barkley gloated: "I bet Yao Ming will definitely get good statistics today, and the better he plays, the more faceless Brown will be." ”

Kenny Smith smiled: "Before the game, Brown said that he would lead the team to win against the Lakers today, I think it is difficult, the first game against the Lakers has surprised everyone, and the depth of the Lakers' roster is obviously superior." ”

After the warm-up, both sides started the game.

Knicks Five: Marbury, Sprewell, Tim Thomas, Kurt Thomas, Ben Wallace.

Lakers five: Damon Jones, Hojborg, Kobe, Rasheed Wallace, Yao Ming.

"Penny" Anfernee Hardaway has been reduced to a bench in the Knicks, he is still healthy, but he has a high salary of tens of millions, high salary and low ability. Tim Thomas's strength is that he shoots three-pointers and joins in the summer, and the Knicks play small-ball tactics and Big Ben is a meat shield.

The starter arranged by Yang Rui made it clear that he wanted to help Yao Ming brush up the data, did not let Iguodala play, and got on the veteran Hojborg, in order to better open up space.

Hojberg's three-point shooting is very accurate, and he can attract the defense when he stands on the perimeter, and if the Knicks wrap Yao Ming inside, he can pass the ball to the perimeter and assist his teammates.

Yao Ming relied on his height advantage to jump ball to win, and the game began.
